Do your roots look lighter then the rest of your hair? I never saw a lighter hair dyed repeatedly darker, so i never saw '' light '' roots irl

[@becauseimafan]

@@Neseine I grew up when Emo got popular, so as well as for rock and punk, there were lots of young people around me that would dye their hair super dark/black, especially if they had light hair naturally. Before finishing college, a couple friends decided to grow out their natural hair colour together in solidarity, so for like a year they each had dyed black hair with a slowly growing shock of pale blonde roots 😂 We all thought it was funny, and before they got to university they were able to chop off the dyed parts LiKe iT nEveR hApPenEd 😁

[@rachelmaksy]

I wonder about that too!! 😂😂

[@katelynjacobi1289]

It's a trans-atlantic accent, which was created in the early years of radio and film to help homogenize the accents of American and British actors. It was definitely a sign of a fancy trained actor/actress, but it quickly fell out of favor and became dated because no one actually spoke in that accent in real life. It's very much a product of the time haha

[@wherefancytakesme]

Late af, but I noticed Rachel looking into the camera and shaking her head smiling at that. Also I'm pretty sure him doing that was just a continuation of saying he'd go to the pub real quick (see if my watch is right by the clock of the green dragon), as a joke. It's just a silly "Tee-hee I'm back from the pub, oops I'm still a little tipsy!" bit.

[@Womynxx]

"Just watch the operation while we nip out to see if our watch is right with the clock of the green dragon." Wtf? Was that an actual saying or was this man on absinthe? Those layers of chocolate though nice willy wonka reference lol :D

[@BannanaOnFloor]

He hiccuped when he came back so it definately seems like he went out for a sip of something

[@juliahall3047]

@@BannanaOnFloor The basic sentiment is that he needed an excuse to go to the pub! In this case, checking if their watch is on time with the clock in the pub (when actually they're grabbing a cheeky pint), while the viewer continues to watch the tutorial. No clue if this is a common saying (as a Brit I've never heard it before) but I imagine the basic formula is very common!

[@crustyoldfart]

As another man, and one who lived through those times, albeit as a young boy, I would hazard a guess that the remark about checking one's watch at the pub was nothing more or less than a wisecrack which he felt it was necessary to make to assert the fact that he felt it slightly demeaning to be associated with what was purely a female concern. Chauvinism was absolutely the normal attitude at that point in time. It should also be made clear to present day people that NO that was not a common Brit expression but was a more or less original comment to show how witty he was and at the same time appear self-deprecating which was also an important thing to do if one wanted to be identified as a macho man. Other comments here call into question the man's accent. This was more or less standard BBC English which was actually an artificial construct. One supposes that such a standardization was necessary at a time when there were a host of regional accents and dialects, to the extent that people from widely separated parts of the country could often have great difficulty understanding one another. The BBC construct, with its peculiar vowels was also designed to sound ' posh ' ; and this would make what was being said more authoritative.
