Americans First Time In LONDON (Lunches at GREGGS & Trying Meal Deals) + STRANGER DANGER

[@mickiesconcertarchive]

Social worker here. You did thing by saying no. Never let any stranger touch your kids, even if it’s just a “funny handshake”, whatever that means. He knew what he was doing approaching you when he thought you were alone, just mom and kids. Glad you’re all okay!

[@lulujane5121]

Time stamp?

[@rhiannonwood6197]

I would say the handshake was 100% malicious. If he were to take him later on he could say “hey, come with me but it’s ok because you know me, we have a special handshake don’t we” etc

[@taylorclay2122]

I’d do exactly what Jennifer did too!

[@antonygill5104]

And report them

[@winter-starlight]

I've been to the UK for a school trip before. It was for chorus, so on top of sightseeing, we also got to perform as a chorus group for formal and informal events. It was a really nice experience.

[@rainbowkitten8990]

You are in my country, I am so so happy! I am about a hour away from London ❤ Please enjoy yourselves and have the BEST TIME! If you can whilst in London definitely try the London dungeons, it is great for learning British history but may be too spooky for the little ones! Enjoy and wrap up warm! 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@dreamycrybaby]

Same I live in the uk too!

[@dellaanniehughes4533]

The London Dungeon is a tourist con. Better go on some of the organized walks.

[@Amy-hz4df]

Seeing you guys in cold weather clothes is so weird haha, the sausage and bean melts are my favourite from GREGGS! Also if you're in England on a sunday you should find a carvery restaurant to get a roast dinner!

[@Wonderzzgaming]

Oooooo don’t ! Now I rlly want Greggs

[@busybaldaufs896]

👍 up for trusting your gut, a Mama always knows when something isn't right! 💜🌵

[@uditadas627]

So excited for the Fudge Family's London trip. Please share all the excitement of the trip with us :)

[@amyrakoff5839]

You did the right thing by saying no. Its not normal for a random person to come up and offer a hand shake and then hang around after. The fact that he backed off when your hubby arrived showed the nature of his actions.

[@KaelynElizabeth2327]

I have never been to London! But I hope to go someday! I love that you were able to pay respects to The Queen from a distance!

[@meghanmahood8344]

I’m a single mom and I have always told my kids and I , if your uncomfortable with someone man or woman I say no thank you in a loud voice also make known you do t know them and then hold hands and walk away that way no one is left alone and everyone is connected as a family

[@alexharvey9063]

I live about 30 minutes from London. I did the queue for the Queen.....14 hours I was in it, but was worth it to pay respects.

[@Kaybelle9]

Predators rely on people who don’t want to make a scene. He profiled you and knew you’d be polite. He ran when your husband came because he didn’t have a chance to profile him and your husband was a wild card he hadn’t accounted for. I know it would have shaken me, so I hope you are ok.

[@simplybellebelle126]

I had been to London once in 2018 and it was the best! London is probably my Favourite place. When I was there the place I was staying at was across the road from Paddington station and there was a store there full of Paddington bear stuff!

[@patrickbrown4244]

Nice memorial for her majesty and the all loved Queen Elizabeth the 2nd! P.S I love you vids. They brighten my day soo much, your kids are soo cute!

Despite living in the UK I love watching people visit here, have a lovely time!🤩

[@gweisa899]

So interesting able to be there at the time of history. I remember hearing about the queen die in my college class. You able to experience England and Scotland is awesome. London is known to have boarding schools. Enjoy that your children get experience other parts of the world.

[@kellymitchell1962]

I live on the south coast of England and it’s only 45 mins away on the train. But I always appreciate a trip up and enjoy roaming the historical side streets and museums.

[@nicdempsey3546]

Welcome to England. You will definitely have to try a chippy (fish and chip shop ) and a Wetherspoons pub hope you’re all having an amazing time

[@bethenecampbell6463]

My early trips to UK were back when everyone had the same entertainment. British Airways would show classic British commedies like Mr. Bean and Black Adder the last hour or so of the trip to get everyone ready to be British. It was lots of fun!

[@davebirch1976]

The original Lyle's golden syrup is still made today in Plaistow east London, it's made using a by-product of the sugar refining process, it's great in Porridge and smothered on freshly baked baguettes 😋

[@jenniferfarvour4852]

I was in London England for a month years ago. I loved it and to this day I miss it. Enjoy everything. It is truly a wonderful and magical time. Happy Autumn 🎃🍁🍂🎃🍂🍁🎃

[@elaineparker6986]

A bap is the shape of the roll the sausage was in... round and flat.. we use them for many things from Burgers, salad, ham, cheese etc. In stead of sandwiches.

[@mandyriley3654]

We live 20 miles from London and I have never been on my own with the kids because of stranger danger. If u r going to Scotland u must go to Edinburgh zoo it is amazing. We love Scotland

[@Theylove_Allie174]

You guys are so close to 1M!! Omg y'all are my idols ty for the heart

[@Amanda87l]

lots of areas in the uk have local traditional foods. i’m from scotland, it has lots of traditional foods. haggis is the go to for brave tourist (worth it very yummy) and black pudding, but potato scones and cloutie dumpling are great for the kids to try. scotland is also the only country in the world whose number one fizzy drink isn’t coke it’s Irn Bru and the glass bottles that say 1901 are the traditional recipe. there’s also tablet which is a traditional sweet it’s made with condensed milk and sugar and is best enjoyed if you don’t have sensitive teeth. you will find mostly british dishes in a local pub most food serving pubs are family friendly.

[@cadenthais]

I love London. I go once a year. From where i am in Canada its a 9 hour direct flight. I have family there. There is so much to see and do.

[@surgeon1016]

You absolutely did the right thing by saying no and essentially ignoring him after that the only thing I might have done differently was walk away from him rather than stay where he was

[@ellzplays2942]

i’m from london! i hope you’re enjoying it here!!

[@lorimcneil9088]

I went to Europe in 1984 with the Sound Of America Honor Band and Chorus. London, England was a our last stop. I have to say that after visiting 5 countries prior where English is not the main language, it was so comforting to be able to read signs the signs and speak to others outside our group.

[@adheenaali5053]

I recommend for the kids to go shopping in beckon, as there is a big toy shop called smyths and there’s clothes shops, we also have a shop called pound shop/pound land which is like 5 below for you guys I think, sorry if I’m wrong ❤️hope you enjoyed it❤️❤️

[@rose5429]

I live in London, and I have been to the City Centre many times, that experience you had, has never happened to me before, I’m so glad everyone is alright, hopefully I see you, also Glasgow City Centre is a must-visit and Manchester but warning Manchester has really bad traffic, specifically the area my sister lives in, check out Edinburgh, it’s amazing!

[@Vanessa-wp1sp]

Man seeing the british musuem and the London eye brought back some fond memories. I have family that lives in England so have been a few times. My fav thing there was the Manchester Zoo and the aquariums (we dont have any wwhere I live)

[@Mevrsissa86]

I've been to London three times in my life. I was last in London in May 2022. London is a nice city. One day I'll go there again, it's a 45-minute flight for me. Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@annachilders8444]

I grew up in London Kentucky. When my family moved to Tennessee, my siblings and I would say that we're from London. Everyone thought we are from England.

[@keshav8365]

Congrats on 1 mil you guys🎉❤️ Hope you all are having fun 😀😀

[@littlelilly93]

Im sorry you came here at such a sad time for my country but I hope you have a wonderful time here! England has some beautiful places to go and see. I just got back from London myself a few days ago.

[@Lestatsgirl23]

I have been to London twice a year, every year of my life as my grandmother lives there. I am currently posting from Orlando, Florida. I love both Disney and Universal.

[@TheHorserider35]

My mom and i both was in London on a return trip to the usa just before covid-19 hit we stoped in London to see the harry potter sightseeing places plus the harry potter and the cursed child play.

[@secretsinger7241]

If you are going to Edinburgh research about greyfriars Bobby! Really famous dog. There’s even a Disney movie about him. Make sure to watch the original with the Skye terrier (the breed he was) and not the remake where they used a westie

[@Kimberleyjx]

Also.. Pig in Blankets are chipolata sausages wrapped in bacon in the U.K.! You should try them! Looks like you had a wonderful time here

[@smooeyyyyyy]

As a person who lives in the UK, I find it strange that Americans have never heard of sausage rolls! They are not just sold in GREGGS but anywhere, my nana makes them at Christmas and you can get them from local supermarkets and bakeries. I hope you enjoyed your sausage roll. (Just to add, a bap is just another word for a bread roll that is like that / a tea cake)

[@bethenecampbell6463]

Someone over there has been listening to me. You actually found a ham & cheese sandwich! Try some of the unique combos too. My faves are salmon with sweet corn and turkey with sage mayonnaise.

[@princessmaddie]

YAY YOUR GUYS ARE IN LONDON I LIVE IN LONDON You guys were 20 mins away from me OMGGGGG

[@EmilyCheetham]

Some tasty British meals to try are- 1. toad in the whole (sausages in Yorkshire pudding) you can find it in some pubs or in the meal or frozen section of the supermarket, 2. The Sunday roast with Yorkshire puddings, 3. A full English breakfast, 4. Afternoon tea (finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream + jam & mini cakes), 5. A fish and chip shop, 6. A British Chinese take away/restaurant/buffet, 7. An Indian restaurant or take away (try the chicken tikka masala it’s not spicy).

[@Ohheyitsyou]

Looks like so much fun! My in laws are moving to the UK early next year so we'll be visiting for the first time next summer. Congrats on 1M subbies!

[@rosemoorcroft6842]

So weird seeing you in my country! I love that Americans all want to try greggs! Hope you had a good trip!

[@Roxy20227]

I was in London for the Queens Diamond Jubilee! It was fantastic!

[@kmwilliams0783]

Next time you go to greggs, try the pizza's and the yum yums (a lot like a donut, but it is long and you can get them in packs of two - they are seriously good!) 😁

[@EmilyCheetham]

Yep the yum Yuma’s are delicious. Definitely recommend them to anyone.

[@Wonderzzgaming]

Don’t gte me started on yum yum oh my days they r soooooo good

[@funfam7672]

They are in East Kilbride and Glasgow

[@fanofpink]

Lunches in London I have been waiting for that.

[@jeanneg7430]

While in Scotland you may want to try a bridie, or a sausage roll or meat pie (if you like a crust that is a little more dense, go with the meat pie & if you prefer something a little more flakey, try the bridie (the sausage rolls are pretty good too, just not my personal favorite). If you are anywhere near Whitby, while you're in England (North Yorkshire, I believe) that's a great place for really great fish meals, because it's a seaside town (supposed to have some of the best fish & chips). Most people do go to Edinburgh while visiting Scotland, so if you're looking for other places to visit, Sterling has a castle that you might like to visit, or try a city like Ayr, where Robert Burns hailed (& where he is buried); there's an area in & around that cemetery that is supposed to be where you can find Brigadoon. Inverness & Isle of Skye are other nice (& beautiful) places to visit. If you want to get a feeling for a city that's not so modern, try someplace like Stonehouse (though it's been a long time since I've been there, so I would check that out, first, to see if it still has that quaint, old style village atmosphere - definitely not your normal tourist location).

[@ittzjasminem2227]

I live in London and just a few tips The local supermarket is called Sainsbury's and it's really cheap There are some restaurants that are good but I'm not to sure if they're all local If your air b and b is close to a train station you should take the Northerm,Picadilly,Victoria,metripolitan, to King's cross and King's Cross has all of the lines Do not go to Waitrose and Partners because it is expensive and you have a lot of people in your family For sightseeing I recommend the Shard and the London eye

[@donnoir]

So glad you tried meal deals and Greggs, both British traditions! A bap is just a British word for a bread roll, it doesn't have to be a breakfast item. E.g., If you put chips (fries) in it, it's a chip bap! If you go to northern England, it's often called a butty (bacon butty, chip butty, etc) and there are other regional variations. For trying other meals while in the UK, I recommend looking for a family-friendly pub or a carvery, and eating some pub food! You get some really good typical home cooked meals like Sunday roasts there.

[@Stephen_Esther_]

My parents met and went to school in London: We went there for New Year & Eve, We went to Buckingham Westminster Abby and of course the eye of London. The UK is my favorite place in the world. I really rate London.

[@sarahbuck5292]

Go to Pizza Hut you get salad pizza or pasta a side and make your own ice cream desert all in the kids meal

[@redpandacookies6538]

If you are going to scotland haggis, neeps and tatties with irn bru is a must and I recommend going to nandos which is a chicken chain that very popular in the uk

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

So excited to see y'alls trip.

[@varneyt]

Always trust your gut. Def never will let a stranger touch a kid u never know what their "story" is. You did the right thing. I hope to see the world some day I love that you are vlogging it so I can add London to my list. Glad you are all safe.

King of England is a good friend and I love the idea of the Ancient history and then we will have to wait a few weeks for the rest of us to get back into the UK and have

[@EmmaHubble]

So glad you're enjoying your time in the UK 🇬🇧 When you're in Scotland you have to try a Fried Mars Bar! You can normally get one in a Fish & Chip shop - it sounds wierd to have a deep fried chocolate and caramel bar but you'd be surprised just how many people like them, just don't ask how many calories are in one 🙈

[@leahalsarraf8896]

When you were showing us the airplane there was an airplane outside of my window

[@ericawaddle94]

I love London! The bap is the roll that the sausage was on. Masters Superfish in Southwark ( right over the bridge from Westminster) does great fish and chips. Portions are huge and prices are pretty good.

[@ianprince1698]

I used to live10 miles from London and would occasionly visit the south Kensington museums I see they still had the automatic door in the Science Museum that must have been there for 60years as I played with it

[@Simslilac]

Bap is another word for bread roll. It has so many different names depending where you are in the uk. I'm from East Midlands and it's just a roll.

[@afshankhan8635]

Awesome video! Looks like fun now i wish i could go to london right noww

[@janetwest9308]

See if you can find a …”Toby’s Roast”…..for a traditional English roast dinner. There is definitely one in Edinburgh Scotland. Oh my, they are sooooooo delicious !!

[@frankdarfour1214]

Happy 1millon subscribers family l am very happy 😊

[@rebeccaturner4988]

I live in Salisbury, UK about 1 hour and 20 minutes from London on a train. The last time was December 2021. Bap - bread roll. A hot Cornish pasty - a must, scones with clotted cream and jam/jelly. Don’t forget the helicopters may have been security like police with all the royals, visiting international leaders and guests.

[@paulapaul3082]

Bap is another way of saying bread roll. Different areas of the UK call them different things (and they think there are about 20 different words). Where I live they are called cobs

[@JasmineFogg]

traditional meal : fish and chips from a fish and chip shop. traditional meal : roast dinner (yorkshire pudding, meat, vegetables, gravy) in a pub.

[@snowy.ethereal]

i live only a 45 minute train ride from london, so i visit all the time! i was just there for a show a couple days ago

[@TheBrittbrat2341]

I definitely would've stepped in between that interaction, no matter where I am nobody better even think about walking up to my youngest child and speaking to them! Nope...my husband is in the military so a lot of times it's just my kids and I. I constantly remind them that any person could try to kidnap them, especially if they're not right next to me and where I can see them. Also don't ever talk to strangers or go off with them for any reason!

[@EmilyCheetham]

I think it’s a bit much to say don’t talk to a stranger. Majority of people aren’t any danger what so every. They are just happy people looking for a chat. But no way would I want a stranger touching me or kids or giving them a hand shake. I talk to people on the bus or in town. Iv helped many people find things in shops (including kids, as I work in retail) all the time. Would never dream of touching anyone though. Kids shouldn’t be afraid of talking to people. But I agree should never touch someone or go off with them & definitely not take anything without a parents permission. Iv given a kid a lolly pop from a freshly opened bag of candy before on the bus with parents permission for instance as I was talking to the mum on the bus. But I asked the mum first I wouldn’t never just hand something over to a kid unless it was their own possession they had dropped.

[@mackenziefish4390]

If you go to the greenwitch market it has a lot of different food varieties, and it’s so good.

[@Me-ll4ig]

Here from the UK. This was a brilliantly presented video.

[@JasmineFogg]

I live just outside London and visit frequently. Beautiful city, i love living nearby

[@StormHollie]

I love getting food at Greggs, I really enjoy their Pizzas and their Steak Bakes (It's just bits of beef with gravy, no veggies)

[@thefiestaguy8831]

I was one of the police officers policing the queen's funeral, it was a very long set of days leading up to the day itself, that week I worked 90 hours (a "normal" working week in the UK is a 40 hour week), every day was a minimum of 14 hour shifts and one day was 18.5 hours from shift start to finish. As exhausting as it was, it was a pleasure to police it and to pay respect to queen Elizabeth.

[@lucypihan9465]

Fact about the ‘meal deals’ is that they are different depending on which store you go in like Asda has buy 3 get the cheapest free and tesco does the same as sainsburys but at £3 and visit farnborough, Hampshire as it’s not long from London and it’s a great place

[@Dana.valinto]

I've never even been outside the country. But looks like you guys enjoyed it! The plane you were on seems similar to the one I was on for Hawaii but the food was free. If I were you I'd probably just say leave and don't ask my kids this stuff. Thats just me😉

Top tip for jet lag. Keep moving until it's local bed time. Try to eat at local meal times. You'll be over your jet lag by the end of day 2

[@natz_andthe_diamonds]

So cool you where so close to where i live i dont need more than 2 hours to London. Im there every year

[@Haribosarecoolyoushouldtrythem]

welcome to England .I recommend you go to home and bargains and try some iconic British snacks!Also visit some parcs you’ll see a squirrel or too in the there just make sure to check the forecast that it’s not raining.Also watch the great British bake off it’s on at 7pm and an iconic to show it’s also very funny with the occasional floor cake also I’m sorry about your strange interaction not the best first interaction but just remember the protocols 999 the emergency number police and stuff are always open A&E is completely free just walk in and you’ll get seen .111 if you need emergency advice .Fire drills are usually once the alarm is soundered you walk out to the carpark/garden . (Should you need to do this but just incase) ALso the meal deals aren’t considered cheap for us especially the fruit pots.Also highly recommend the Egg and cress sandwich very popular here and my favourite when I go.And malted bread is wholemeal bread with seeds in it.

[@deidrecruickshank7975]

You absolutely did the right thing saying no, that was not OK of that guy, creeeeepy! As a sovereign nation New Zealand viewed every aspect of the Queen's passing, build up to, parading of the coffin, memorials, vigils, and funeral, from the moment we heard. Also the King' s tour. The funeral though it was at 530 there was at around 11pm here so I ended up watching all day, and until 130am the next day! Phew. I'm so glad I did though to honor the Queen, and celebrate her 70 years on the throne. RIP QE2, love live King Charles III. How sad Kenzie did get to see all of the V&A museum. Will you go back?

[@shirleyhudson407]

I live in Yorkshire in England 🇬🇧 and we are more relaxed and polite. Fish and chips from the seaside (coast) and Yorkshire pudding are good with your Sunday lunch also a cooked breakfast are delicious. If you have never tried sweets (candy) and chocolate are good xx

Glad to hear you said no to the “funny handshake” there’s no reason a stranger in a airport needs to touch someone else’s child and the fact he left in a hurry when he saw your husband is definitely suspect🙄 stay safe and aware of your surroundings!
