Hi, my uncle is a British naturalised American, my U.S. cousins in their 50s in age now. One thing that completely jaw dropped, and astonished them was the history on their 'doorstep' when visiting the UK. Here in Hertfordshire, 30 miles north of central London, there are 1000+ years old still active churches within 10 minutes drive into the countryside. Worth researching where you are. Best wishes

I really enjoyed this video. As a Brit, it's funny to hear these things that actually a lot of us take for granted! I love that you touched on the fresh, healthy food because that is for sure something that should be standard everywhere. In regards to the energy prices, I'm sure you've seen the outrage at them and it's an unfortunate time because they really are not 'normal' at the moment, like 300% higher is ridiculous. They will come back down eventually. I hope! So glad to see a lot of positivity and you both did great! Liked and subbed easily :)

My first time in the US was in 1982. When chatting to a guy onan internal flight he asked me about how big the UK was. I told him 'about 900 miles from each extreme North to South' he said "Oh, I can go and do that all in three days maybe four." I couldn't make him understand he could spend a week in any location and not see t all.

One other thing, our 3 pin outlets wall sockets have switches. The earth pin is longer normally because it pushes up 2 little internal live and neutral outlet protectors to stop children inserting things into these more dangerous outlet holes. Enjoy your time in the U.K. My eldest son is a maths professor in Austin TX - he says that the standard of driving and basic car roadworthiness is terrible, but he’s married to a USA wife and has a good job in TX. He loves it there. Hates the health system but loves the enormous variety of choices that people have in the supermarkets.

I still have many to see yet and looking forward to them all. So very happy to know that you are enjoying your time here in the UK and you are all a welcome addition. This is the first time I have commented and I just wanted to say, whatever you do, don’t leave a British appliance unplugged on the floor with the plug’s 3 prongs facing up..if you step on one barefooted or just in your socks you will experience pain like never before!

You are very welcome in the UK. I am glad you are enjoying it. It is always nice to get the views of visitors to our country. I expect the lack of AC and small fridges are going to be things that are not so good here compared to back home, but I am sure you have adapted. You should visit Liverpool if you have not already done so. If you are here for a while, and love History, then it may be worth getting a family membership to The National Trust. It gets you into castles and stately homes / gardens without further expense. Anyway, enjoy your stay.

The only foreign country (as a Brit) I have driven in was the USA. This was in Florida some years ago. I found that other drivers were considerate, kept their distance and stuck to the speed limits. I got used to driving on the other side of the road after a couple of days. I saw some roundabouts at Gettysburg which seemed to be working well. Gas prices in the UK include a heavy excise duty plus VAT at 20%, which makes it very expensive. Gas stations make very little on each litre.

Hi, Guys just got back to the UK after 5 Years of living in the US with my wife and 2 Kids. I just wanted to address the Petrol price issue you raised (Gas Prices 😂😂). You are correct they are expensive here like crazy expensive, however, it's important to bear in mind most people drive in the US on average at least 4 - 5 times as many miles as regular people here do (obviously not including city driving). Also, most Cars in the US are much bigger gas Guzzlers than the UK. I would say depending on what you drive in the US you probably get between 12 and 20 miles per gallon whereas here it's probably more like 25 to 35 miles per gallon on average. Also not sure where in the States you guys are from but in South Florida where we were Food prices are at least 2 sometimes 3 times more than UK. For example, let's take a lower-end store like Walmart for a full trolly (Cart) of food you could probably get a full trolly at says marks and spencers food here for the same price. Also, car insurance prices are crazy there, and usually every 6 months which we were paying $1100 twice a year for Tundra and Explorer so $2200 per year. Here for similer cars here you would be paying approx $900 a year.
@DaydreamersBarn
@DaydreamersBarn Жыл бұрын
You're correct on "average." What I was speaking on was that what we're paying now is extremely higher than what we paid in the United States. We drove 2 cars daily, and the power bill was a lot lower with the aircon running full blast in the summer and heat on full time in North Dakota Winters. We are driving only one car here currently (due to be not working full time), and our power bill is hardly having it on, but still 2x more than we paid in the US. Just our observation. Not that it's a bad thing, just something we noted.

Consider getting an EV, if you are able to charge the vehicle at home. It costs £5 to fill an EV tank from the home charger. It costs £60 to fill your car with petrol. Both will have the same 300 mile range! The UK is a very green country, lots of vegetation, which requires a lot of rain....lol. The Temperature swings are not as severe as the US but the high latitudes mean the length of day varies quite a bit.

You are right about courteous uk drivers. So polite. Let you in when you need to. and when 2 lanes narrow to one lane people move to 1 lane right away instead of using the soon to close lane to the very end then force yourself infront of everyone like we do in the US. Please note we traveled to Belgium right after living 6 weeks in the uk and the drivers in Belgium do not display the courteous characteristics- they are aggressively hostile like in the US.

I heard another American once talking about how 'polite' people are when driving in the UK and his conclusion was that our roads are so narrow, there are so many cars parked in small streets and with all the mini-roundabouts where people have to give way to traffic coming from the right that we can all only get from A to B if we co-operate with each other. Otherwise it would be chaos! I think he had a point. With cost of petrol, if you look at prices across Europe I think you'll realise it's not so much that it's expensive here but that it's really cheap in the USA.

Most Americans I know live off base from USAF based at RAF Mildenhall and RAF Lakenheath. They love the roundabouts and quick pace of traffic. Also the electrical outlets are much safer than US ones. Yes energy prices are high BUT you can switch suppliers for a better deal. For petrol / gas, does go up and down and the government takes 60% in taxes for pertol /gas. Also the UK does have a wide range of places to visit and see within the country including our history and historic places. Enjoy the UK.

Your video popped up in my YT recommendations. You two come across as very courteous, thoughtful, decent people. Interesting comments too. I visited the USA several times every year during the '90s. Then lived and worked there (MA, TX, then MA) for part of the 2000s. This may seem like a weird suggestion, but I'll recommend visiting Europe. It's on your door step. Outside the summer holiday season, travel becomes more affordable. A train ride through the channel tunnel to Paris, Brussels or Amsterdam might be an experience. You might even take your car. Flights, booked well in advance or last minute can be very reasonable (beware of Ryanair, who charge for extras in flight). Like the US, staying a Saturday night usually reduces ticket prices down from inflated weekday business travel prices. A small suggestion, which you might already know. However, you might be accustomed to Air Conditioning, and not tried it before. If your house doesn't have them, you might consider getting thermal curtains (drapes). They have obvious value in the winter, keeping heat in. However, if you want to keep bedrooms cooler on hot days through the summer, you might close the curtains (drapes) during the day. It looks a bit gloomy, but hopefully not an issue through week days. Closing heavy thermal curtains (drapes) during the day will reduce the temperature of a room by nightfall. Maybe Initially try on one bedroom if it's south facing. A rough guide is 1kW per square yard per hour of sunlight. So large windows could easily allow 16kW hours of heat to build up in a room through the day. (Imagine a 2kW heater blasting into a room for 8 hours.) Just some thoughts. Best Wishes. ☮ PS - I forgot to press "Save" on this one, so my comments will arrive out of order.

​@@DaydreamersBarn Thank you for replying. I'm just trying to repay some of the help and time Americans lavished on me when I lived and worked in the USA. You might want to look out for festivals over the summer, for example Cambridge Folk Festival. There are many much more modest events. "Bonfire night" on November the 5th might be interesting too. It's also called Guy Fawkes night and "The Gunpowder Plot". After 1776, celebrating it petered out in your country. 😀 Essentially, a bunch of Catholic conspirators tried to blow up Parliament and the Protestant King. They planned to install their choice of King. Guy Fawkes was the 'trigger man' who was caught preparing to light the fuse. There are many Fireworks displays and bonfires across the UK, even in peoples gardens. It might make an interesting video. Many Brits forget we had a revolution, and lots of political chicanery, well before 1776. Guy Fawkes night is one of the few universally remembered and celebrated. Take care. Best Wishes. ☮

American bathrooms seem to be the biggest contributory factor in many of today's most toxic debates in the US

Agree with you both! Our bathrooms in the US are horrible. In the US, we need unisex or one person restrooms would fix all the craziness. Well, at least the bathroom part.. lol

Being originally from London,but having lived in the U.S for 23 yrs,of course there's many,many differences!.And one thing has to be factured in each State basically is run like a separate Country! U have State Laws,which vary from State to State and of course u have Federal Laws..So in essence these are like different Worlds! So when u travel,u have to learn to adapt,some people manage it,others not so well!

Jerry, yes, each state has it own government state laws, and we all have federal laws in the US. So, on the US base, we still have to follow our federal laws and the UK government laws here. I completely understand fully. When traveling, we do our best to research laws that will impact us. It is always a good practice to know where you're going and the laws you need to follow. Thank you for your comment and for watching our video. 🤍 Jess

Our fuel prices are high and that is mostly due to tax. But I think its kind of seen as a general money raising tax because broadly speaking transport applies to all goods and all people, so if it wasn't on fuel they would just get it some other way 😀

I like how you mention the sales tax and how you need to add on the tax yourself to figure out what you have to pay at the till ..Strangely that does happen in the UK by an American company called Snap on lol..So just like in the US their brochure shows the price they charge and then they add on the tax once you buy it...

It is because Snap-on is not regarded as a retailer selling to consumers, but rather dealing primarily with tradespeople who would be claiming back any VAT they pay. It is the same with any company selling mainly to businesses.

@@grahvis I can claim the tax back on tools from Halfords for example ,but the price they show includes TAX .so there is no reason Snap on can not do the same ..They show a price of £100 for example then all of a sudden it is £120 ,There is no reason what soever why they can not show the price including VAT ..as i can claim the tax back no matter who i buy a tool from..Snap on are just doing it the american way ...When i was in the army i could claim the tax back on boot polish ,starch etc ,but the NAAFI didn't show the price minus tax ,they showed it with the tax

@@norb0254 . The Price Marking Order 2004 is consumer protection legislation, and so only applies to consumer contracts. A company which primarily trades with businesses is not affected by such legislation other than if they do sometimes sell to consumers, they are required to show VAT will be charged at whatever rate is applicable. Halfords sells primarily to consumers and so have to comply with all consumer protection legislation and thus include VAT. I manufactured items for sale to businesses for years and did not include VAT in my prices.

The US has always had really cheap Petrol (Gas) prices compared to Europe. It's only since our recent 'energy crisis' thanks mainly to the war in Ukraine that our Natural Gas and Electricity prices have become exorbitant. Prior to this I was paying £90 per month for gas and electric - now that has pretty much trebled!
