Warning: Do not use French Fries for a chip butty. Only use thick cut chips saturated in salt & vinegar. Lashings of butter so that it drips onto your fingers when the hot chips are 'sandwiched'. Live long and prosper my friend.

Chips are single fried, french fries are double fried (you fry them cool them or freeze them and fry again) in belgium they do this three times for belgian fries. The best British chips are made in beef fat and you actually boil the chip for 3-4 mins before frying....

Most of the way we pronounce words in the UK is to do with us speaking French for 326 years, which is why around 30% of British English (32,0000 words) comes from French. Like most, if not all, words that end in -ion, -phy, - gy, -ny, -ty are all from French e.g. (from the top of my head) reaction, opinion, formation, photography, psychology, biology, cardiology, ceremony, epiphany, dynasty, chemistry, variety, responsibility, formality = réaction, opinion, formation, photographie, psychologie, biologie, cardiologie, cérémonie, épiphanie, dynastie, chimie, variété, responsabilité, formalité .It's also why we have French 'sayings' in England, whilst America doesn't use them. Words like niche, déjà vu, raison d'etre, faux pas, en route. Then common words like hospital, church, aviation, metro, literature, sabotage, tournament, television and so many others are from French.

Actually the queen doesn't own all the swans. If you look carefully at a swan in the uk some have their notch carved in their beaks if so then they belong to your local water board. No carving then yes they belong to the queen. Although totally baffling but ultimately true and weired. Also the queen looses ownership over any swan if they are in flight as she can only claim ownership if they are on land.

the story of the sandwich is that the chap, the Earl of Sandwich - whose name you enjoyed pronouncing - was a keen gambler. He wanted something to eat and couldn't be bothered to get up from the gambling table. Whoever was seeing to the food stuck some meat between two bits of bread and they named it the sandwich as a 'dig' at the earl. The name stuck - and a chip butty is glorious, especially if you use butter (not marge) on the bread.

As a medical person I can attest that washing your hands in cold water actually helps the destruction of bacteria. Bacteria like the warm, so if you use cold, it slows the bacteria’s rate down, and the soap has more time to dissolve the protein shell, thus killing the bacteria. Warm water makes it more difficult for this to happen.

Thats not why there are two different taps. In English houses people had cold water years before they had hpt and the hot was on a completely different system from usually a back boiler that heated uo a tank of water. This tank was fed by a open tank in the attic of the house. Bacteria was often found in the hot water systems and as children we were taught to never drink or fill a kettle from the hot tap. As for the idea of putting your hands from tap to tap , hot to cold..no the idea is to put the plug in the sink and fill it to the required temp....

The two tap thing came from separating drinking water and washing water. The heated water came from a tank but those tanks could get parasites/diseases etc in them if an animal climbed in and died or something like that. So you had hot water for washing from a tank and cold water straight from the mains which was consumable. Nowadays it's pretty evenly split between mixer taps and split tap sinks. But as people have mentioned the sinks have plugs so you can mix the hot and cold in the basin to get it just right ;)

99fruitbat if the water is straight from the mains, then a water pressure drop means less cold water going into the heater in the shower. Lower pressure results in slower water so it's in the heating element a tiny bit longer, and so the temperature spikes.

@@NotThatOneThisOne That'll only apply to electrically heated showers though, won't it? If we're talking central heated systems then you split the system into hot and cold at the boiler, so when you open a cold tap you starve the mixer valve in the shower of (nominally) cold water pressure only. Which results in the water coming out closer to the central heating max temperature setting and burning your head and shoulders.

I can hear the difference between the accents of people in villages 5 minutes apart. The reason behind this is because these accents developed before cars or easy methods or transportation or radios or TVs. Communities were a lot more isolated for hundreds of years. Also, one study found that a huge percentage of Brits stay in the area they were born and don’t move around a lot.

For my sins, I studied at Oxford (biochemistry if you must know), and it took me the best part of a year to get my accent back afterwards. We are, as I say, proud of our accents and local dialect: 20 miles in each direction from where I live produces something different, and despite 'Estuary English', there is still a rich seam of English accents, from Bristolian 'Alright, me old babber?' and 'Cheers, Drive!' to Geordie (NE England: completely incomprehensible to me, but I love the sound of it). Vive la difference: I love my Somerset accent: it will be with me till I die, and I hope its lovely burr will survive for centuries after. (is a 'harrd drive' so different from a nasty received pronunciation 'hahd drive'? The spellchecker doesn't like it.

Our kitchen "taps" are now usually mixer taps with one spout. Bathrooms taps are often separate, but you were supposed to put water in the basin mixed to the right temp to wash your hands. Besides, the water in hot taps rarely comes out scalding hot straight away.

You've never met my boiler. In the summer all water from the hot tap is hot enough to turn your skin red, no matter what you do. In winter it starts cold and moves up to lukewarm. Successive boiler engineers have failed to correct it and have said "I don't know why, this is a really good make of boiler". Personally, I think it's just pure evil and hates all biological life.

You need to understand that when someone says “Spoons?”, they’re not asking you if you’d like some spoons or if you have spoons, they are in fact asking you if you’d like to go to Whetherspoons. Whetherspoons is a chain of pubs. It’s renowned for serving cheap food and drinks and toilets that always feel like mission impossible to locate; this is a standard across all Whetherspoons establishments 😂

Why we have two taps Cold water came from a mains supply and was fit for drinking. Hot water would be serviced by a local storage cistern often situated in the loft.This caused an imbalance of pressures which meant that if incorrect taps and valves were installed one stream of water could force its way across to the other. Water bylaws prevented hot and cold water being mixed because water that had been sitting in a tank in the loft was not deemed safe to drink, he . As far back as 1965 a code of practice called CP 310 advised that wherever possible hot water taps should be placed on the left. One of the reasons to maintain that over the years was reported to be so that the visually impaired would always know which sides the hot and cold were on . When mixer taps came into vogue there was still a requirement to make sure water didn't mix until it came out of the tap So if you look closely you might be able to see the hot coming from the left hand side and the cold the right.

The 2 taps / faucets thing... Remember, these are on a sink which ha s a plug. You merely run both with the plug engaged and you get a nicely mixed small puddle of water in the sink to wash your hands. Add more hot or cold as you desire and then disengage the plug for it to wash away once done. This also is good for saving water as it is not a continual running tap. With the amount of rain we get however, water isn’t something we are short of in the UK!!
@loquayrocks
@loquayrocks 3 жыл бұрын
there was a reason for the two taps. Orignally, the cold water came from the mains, the hot water came from a tank in the attic and fed into an immersion heater. The water tank in the attic was often uncovered and all sorts of shit went into the water causing it to be undrinkable (and also why it is so hot). Sinks have a plug, fill the sink with a mixture to your taste. Modern homes have the mixer tap as the attic tank is now gone.

John Montague (note the correct spelling) Earl of Sandwich (this is an actual place name in England) did not like getting his hands greasy when playing cards - so used slices of bread to hold the meat - the sandwich. All swans in the UK also belong to the Queen and are protected birds. Most British people now have US style faucets (called 'taps' in the UK) but you can still find many separate hot and cold ones. The idea is not just to momentarily rinse your hands under the flowing water, but to plug the basin and collect enough warm water to clean your hands properly with soap and a small nail-brush. It's called 'washing'. Most British people used to drink weak beer because until Victorian times the water was often dirty and unsafe. Therefore, once children got past the stage of drinking milk, they drank weak beer, from about the age of 5 - thus the law. I enjoyed your reaction and subscribed - thanks!

@insertname3977 3 жыл бұрын
Actually the water being unsafe isn't entirely true, most of the water in a village/small town would be safe to drink, but you can't store water for very long without it going nasty so beer and wine was often used to supplement it when you didn't have access to water that you knew was safe.

You may laugh but Sandwich is a town in south-east England. It's said that the 4th Earl at that time was an avid gambler and didn't have time to step away for meals so had people bring him meat between two pieces of bread. Others allegedly followed suit and ordered 'the same as Sandwich' and it eventually caught on. This isn't 100% accurate and no one can tell for sure, but it's definitely got some weight to it originating from the town of Sandwich ; the town has existed for hundreds of years prior to the food item appearing and gaining popularity.
