American pronunciations are great. Can't fault them since we're just as bad when we stacked the deck against ourselves with spelling. Couple of years ago we holidayed on the south coast and met a couple there from Yorkshire, the woman being an English teacher who you'd expect would be good at pronunciation. Nope, even they don't always stand a chance. We asked what they planned for the day and when she said they were off to the motor museum at bow-lee-oo I laughed and told her don't let a local hear you say it like that because Beaulieu is pronounced bew-lee. Come on, if you didn't know that (my dad is from Hampshire so I did) there's no way you're guessing it right, not even if you're English LOL. Plenty of places the locals take great exception you didn't pronounce it right too (not sure Beaulieu is one of them btw but I know others), even though there's no way you could know from the spelling.

Stirling Castle in Scotland is great, I visited recently when i was about 55 years old and ran around like a little child for hours. They have people dressed in authentic period clothing, who refuse to aknowledge what a car is unless you call it a horseless carriage and explain what it is. My friend had a haggis stolen from his car! During the English Scottish conflicts, one side would siege the castle, then swap with the people inside. Imagine taking turns to live in the castle during a war.

Hi, we live on a narrowboat called Pastorale and cruise the English canals. This is also something that you can’t experience in the USA. If you ever do come over let us know and we would be happy to take you on a trip, but look it up, there is plenty on KZbin including our vlog Narrowboat Living and I would recommend Cruising the Cut by David Johns. Love your KZbin channel, come and see us soon.

Fun fact about Buckingham Palace: If the Union Jack flag is raised on the roof that means the queen isn’t home if the Royal Gold Standard is raised that means the queen is home.
