I Spent 10 Days in England for the First Time and I Didn't Expect This!!

I wanted to visit England for some time now. And I kept seeing ads about England - hearing people talk about England - I'm like England is calling to me. Now is the time to go. From the bustling streets of London to the area of outstanding natural beauty of the countryside, this was a rollercoaster of memorable experiences. Each of the cities have so much to offer, and here's what happened during my time in the largest country in the United Kingdom.

A word of advice, don't come to the UK in April if you don't want rain. LOL. April showers bring forth May flowers! Spring in the UK is March, April, May. It's often wet and windy, or just extremely changeable/unpredictable.

[@doommonger7784]

What sort of weather do you expect when you travel at the very beginning of spring, yes it rains a lot just like northern states in the US. On the other hand summer temp's can often go into the 30s centigrade especially in the south.

Bizarre, as usual, like many tourists, you did not visit the east, called 'Anglia' where the Angles settled, the original Germanic settlers on the Island and the place where England evolved from and where it got its name from ( even though Germanic settlers were a mix of Jute, Frisian, Saxon, Franks, etc. The counties, Norfolk and Suffolk, where that Kingdom, the borders have hardly changed in 1000 years.

One of the best tourist videos of my country I have ever seen. I am now 89 next month and have lived in the far South West of England for the last 40 years. I see many changes as you go around the towns and cities that I knew, a lot more art displayed these days which is good. Looking at the trees in your photos it's winter or just before spring - it rains here in winter and particularly spring. Rains summer too but not quite so bad and it's warmer. It is what makes our green and pleasant land. Funny though, first two places were where I lived when young, Windsor and Oxford. Bath I know and Bristol is an hour up the road from where I now live. I lived for some years in London where I met my husband 54 years ago. I would like to say you chose some very good places to go to such as Canterbury and Cotswolds, all beautiful places. Liverpool is fun, loved the football. Only went there once because I wanted to take the ferry on the Mersey. I’m glad you enjoyed your visit, I enjoyed your video as I can no longer travel, old age has got me in it’s tentacles. I will look out for further videos from you, thanks for coming to see us.

I went to London in October several years ago. I actually like the cold weather. I don't like the heat, especially when there's no air conditioning. I understand that a lot of buildings in the UK don't have air conditioning, so I think I would have found it uncomfortable to visit in summer.

Did you find it expensive compared with USA?

[@david22591]

The Brits don't help themselves by perpetuating the myth that it's always raining. Some parts of the UK are indeed very wet but that is the west and North west because of the prevailing wind off the Atlantic. However London and other places in the south east England are drier than many European and US cities. I worked in Munich for a couple of years and it's far wetter than south east England. I went to the US a few years back and my wife said to a Boston local that its always raining in the UK. Boston MA has 20 inches more rain annually than the city we live in in south east England. It is however very cloudy in the UK which I think may be another factor in this misconception.

[@RobDeMann]

Thank you for clarifying this David! Much appreciated.

[@verenamaharajah6082]

Essex has the same annual rainfall as Morocco! You get a lot of cloud at times. However this winter and spring has been and still is VERY wet, we are all fed up with it! So sorry you had a poor example of fish and chips. They can be wonderful if the fish is very fresh, good quality potatoes are used and you put on plenty of salt, malt [ or pickled onion ] vinegar and tomato ketchup.

If you are going to "Visit" as many Villages, Towns, Cities, in a day as possible and only look at the more famous attributes on show, just so that you can say "Been there, DONE that" and not "know" the places that you "Hit", is rather akin to trying to hit on as many women as possible in 10 days! You don't get to "Know" them, you don't get the vibe, you don't get the full ambiance, only fleeting glimpses, fleeting memories and, maybe, remember the names of some of the best sights on offer! !

[@markharvey1630]

The side of the escalator/side of the road thing isn't a contradiction. For one thing, you could say, "On the road we move forward on the left, whereas on the escalator we move forward on the left," and the contradiction disappears. But in any case, the reason is the same one: the predominance of right-handedness. In medieval times people passed each other on the road on the left-hand side so that their right hand could draw a sword should they need to, which is the origin of driving on the left-hand side. and when it comes to escalators, people who need to hold on to the handrail will mostly want to do that with their right hand.

Always interesting to see your own country through the eyes of someone from outside. Obviously 10 days is not enough to do justice to more than the tourist hotspots. As others have commented it is worth heading further afield to other parts of the UK and Republic of Ireland too, spend a few days getting to know the place well rather than rushing to the next one. Some of the strangest places are where you get to meet people to talk to and learn a little of what their life consists of. Often in a pub at the bar....!

Great video mate. I now live in China but grew up close to that little coastal village you ended up stranded in, St Margaret’s Bay! So pleased someone picked you up and dropped you at Martin Mill station. Shame you didn’t make it to Sandwich, just three stops from there but there’s always next time. Never get anxious, embrace those moments of the unexpected, priceless ❤

I realise the lack of holiday time in the US forces short holidays. However 2 cities a day is insane, you didn’t get to experience anywhere properly. I would have recommended 5 cities in 10 days so at least you wouldn’t do every day travelling. For those who are not aware he will have been in each city about 2 to 3 hours maximum as each train journey would have been 2 to 3 even 4 hours,, only time really to take a photo and that’s no time to get to know a place at all.

[@RobDeMann]

Thats true Diane, this was the time I booked for myself and I wanted to cover a lot of parts of England with my railpass. A few-several hours per city sounds about right. If I had more time here I definitely would have taken my time better. Appreciate you watching!!

We always say St Patrick's Day in the UK and in Ireland, not St Paddy's. In fact the term Paddy is sometimes regarded as an abusive term when used towards Irish people. My grandad was Irish and would not have liked to hear anyone refer to the day as anything other than St Patrick's Day,

Oh ffs, turn off the offense button. This is all we hear these days, someone forever offended and playing the oppression olympics. Even the Irish don't get offended at that.

This from the Met Office... "The UK experienced 55% more rainfall than an average April, with 111.4mm." falling across the month, making it the sixth wettest April in the series and the wettest April since 2012. Many areas recorded more than their long-term average monthly rainfall, with Scotland experiencing its fourth wettest April in a series which started in 1836. It saw 148.9mm of rainfall across the month - more than 60% of its average and the wettest April since 1947." Thank you for a different perspective on my country.

[@martinalloway6980]

Got to say, visit an Island on the east of the Atlantic Ocean, in winter and you’re surprised it rains? Sorry about the fish and chips. If your cultural heritage sees fish as basis of your diet then fish and chips is going to be nothing to you. We eat very little fish in the UK, but most of it is fish and chips. Originally a cheap hot dish for the working poor. It is never meant to be high cuisine.

[@RobDeMann]

I went in early Spring but I'm no weather expert! Our winters/springs here are often sunny despite our rainfall/snowfall. Yes the food I've eaten growing up incorporates a lot of spices and seasoning so I guess fish n chips was just foreign to me. Thanks for watching, appreciate it!!

I think you have missed the best bits, The 4 northern Counties ( old names - County Durham, Northumberland, Cumberland and Westmoreland) The Lake District , Northumbria has more castles that any other county , the Roman Wall, Durham Cathedral, Newcastle upon Tyne, Beautiful beaches, Loads of things to see and do. You would need another month to the area justice! Homes of the first steam railway, the first street in the world to be lit by electricity, the first steam turbine driven ships, the Turbinia, Land of Coal mines, great fish and chips !!!

Being an impressionist or mimicing someone is not being racist. I am English but I learn't loads from this video. They say that if you live in London and need directions, ask a tourist.

The traffic lights are the same as the US for stopping - green, yellow, red. The difference comes for going - red, red and yellow together, green, whereas in the US it goes straight from red to green. Didn't want people coming to the UK thinking that if they see a yellow light it means get ready to go when, on it's own, it means the exact opposite. And those white cliffs at St Margarets Bay don't really do justice to the actual white cliffs of Dover. If you want to experience them close up, there are walks along the top of them, giving you good views across the English Channel.

[@NhwNews]

Great video. Thank you Bob. Q. Why do we pass on the left on the escalator? Cars drive on the left. I.e. they "move" or "travel" on the left. So if you are standing still, you have to stay on the right so those who are "moving" or "travelling" can move on the left, the same side as the vehicles when they move on a road. Does it make sense now? Traffic lights go from RED to RED+AMBER. Then both RED and AMBER go off and GREEN comes on. Then AMBER (on its own) followed by RED. When a driver sees AMBER on its own s/he knows the next is RED, so they prepare to slow down and stop (or accelerate hard to avoid the RED - not recommended). When the AMBER come on along with the RED, we engage gear in preparation to proceed because the next is GREEN.

Driving or passing on the left? It's all to do with your very useful right hand. During ye (pronounced thee. Y was the old character 'thorn') old (e) days, mugging and robbery was a big danger for those with cartloads of goods, or horsemen with purses of gold... so we drove on the left so that anyone who came close to us had to come up to our right sword arm first. Stabby, stabby, jabby, jabby. We give those who are less able to walk up a moving stairway, more chance of stability by giving them the opportunity to hold onto the handrail with their (more likely stronger) right hand. We may still have cheese rolling at coopers hill, but sadly we abandoned old people rolling down tube escalators. A sad day when health and safety got involved.
