Also I live in an area that you wont have heard of (Haworth) but is packed full of history that brings in thousands of tourists each year. Just because you haven't heard of a place doesn't mean it isn't popular?

[@Bevalderon]

I'm from Spain and 82 million visitors come to Spain each year and mostly hang around the coast.

[@WulfricTheBlack]

Anja I grew up in a college town in Texas, bigger than a regular town, and smaller than a regular city. Same kids I went to preschool with, I graduated with, and most went to the same church. Back then it was safe for kids to be unsupervised for hours on end, without cellphones too. My folks would drop me and a friend off at the Mall theater at age 7. I used to ride my bike through the woods to get to the city swimming pool alone. We used to walk for miles on the train tracks, crossing bridges with no idea if a train was going to come. Now it seems crazy to give a kid that much freedom, back then it was normal. Oh my first job was “breaking horses”. I hated that term, but I was a horse trainer at age ten. Family friends had a ranch and I’d get $50 to train a horse to be ridden. When I think about all the wild horses I dealt with all the times I was bucked off, kicked, bit, stepped on and run into a low branch to knock me off I wonder if my folks were trying to kill me. Lol. They would say if you ain’t squirting blood or looking at a bone sticking out you’re fine. Sorry I ran off topic. Nowadays I only know the people on my street not the whole neighborhood like you were saying.

[@LeighMariana]

Loads of countries used to be on the left too, back when you were on horse back, so that you could hold your sword in your right hand. It changed over time for a few reasons but a lot of them changed under napoleon’s rule. The uk stuck to the left as napoleon never took charge here. There’s loads more reasons why but it’s nothing to do with which is safer :) www.worldstandards.eu/cars/driving-on-the-left/

[@c0ronariu5]

90-95 percent of the world is right handed, you’re absolutely correct. All the more reason to keep your dominant hand on the steering wheel (you know, so you don’t end up overturned in a ditch or running into oncoming traffic) whilst your left hand fumbles with the non-essential functions of the car (like the examples you listed above; aircon, radio etc). Therefore, your argument is invalid. Sincerely, a left hander who gets a ducking heart attack whenever they take their dominant hand off the wheel to perform a non-essential function. ☺️

Lili They really are a thing. There are plain digestives, which are really boring and only good for dunking in your tea. Then there are digestives with chocolate on one side, which are much nicer. They’ve been around forever. I googled how they got the name “digestives” (it’s Sunday morning and I’ve nothing better to do) and it says on Wikipedia: “The digestive was first developed in 1839 by two Scottish doctors to aid digestion. The term "digestive" is derived from the belief that they had antacid properties due to the use of sodium bicarbonate when they were first developed. ... First manufactured in 1892, McVitie's digestive is the best-selling biscuit in the UK.”

British packaged foods in general tend to be miles better because y'all have better food laws than we do. (I studied abroad there and I love your biscuits, so nobody kill me. I'm just saying.

.... Hard disagree on the cookie/biscuit question- I feel like every biscuit they mentioned was something you'd buy from grocery store, but if you ask an American about their favorite cookie, very few say Oreo or Chips Ahoy, we'd instead name something you make at home or get from a bakery. Home made ALWAYS wins when it comes to cookies. Do British grannies make hobnobs? I'd be happy to be wrong🤷

[@daniella7923]

I agree, ask anyone their favorite cookie and it's never a brand of packaged cookies. 😆 Everyone prefers homemade or buying the premade dough and baking it ourselves. The other stuff is when you are shopping on a budget or need a quick snack.

Prepackaged biscuits in the UK are different to the ones you get in America, they are generally better quality, ranging from very cheap to luxury. I have tried Chips Ahoy, you can get them here in the pound shop (like the dollar store) and they tasted like sugar, salt and oil to me - I'd never had a biscuit that tasted that artificial before! I do like an Oreo though. We also buy homemade things and make our own. Hobnob is a brand of biscuits, bourbons and custard creams are a type of biscuit that any shop sell. You could make them yourself if you wanted to. A lot of supermarkets here have bakeries in them that sell freshly made cookies.

@@user-ry6jj6kx2s but Oreos? Girl scout cookies? Pepperidge farms? Chips ahoy is kind of not great but no onw thinks they're the height of quality

[@cdemp4795]

Yep. Most Americans will pick a SOFT homemade cookie over a prepackaged cookie/biscuit any day of the week.

[@livhayes608]

I've only had an Oreo in terms of American biscuits but British Biscuits are a little different. The biscuits custard creams, bourbons, rich tea, digestive etc aren't really specific to one brand (though I think many were created by McVities). They're more a type of biscuit that shops have their own version of which you could create at home but it would be a bit odd to do so. People might be inclined to make their own shortbread or cookies (a type of biscuit which usually has a chocolate chip in it) but you can still get nice ones of them from the shops.

I'm so happy he mentioned the lake district. So few people would consider coming to Cumbria over London or other places down south but the lake district is beautiful and I love it.

Wait wait wait wait wait. I can appreciate many countries' sweets, but NOTHING can be better than a fresh-baked chocolate chip cookie (except maybe a pain au chocolat).

Have you ever tried Gocciole? 😋

Oh ain’t that the truth! My favorite are fresh baked Wegmans 🤤🤤

This gives me such a desire to get my passport and brave a flight, the way they're talking about the UK is so lovely

Do it! The UK is fantastic!

Sorry, Tan, but most of the world drives on the right side of the road. Americans are wrong about many things...for profit healthcare, the metric system, for profit prisons. In driving on the left side of the road, though, the British are the ones who are outside the norm.

[@dishadharmraj6986]

Actually most countries drive on the right side as far as I know

[@sandpiperr]

@@dishadharmraj6986 Yes, that's exactly what I said!

[@nicoladavies3391]

Many countries drive on the left including Japan and Indonesia, not just Commonwealth countries.

bershka is... spanish though?

[@marcellakilgarriff]

Yes but it's a popular shop on the British high street. He wasn't suggesting that the store itself is British, just that it can be found in Britain

[@Laura_Norda]

Im so glad he's suggesting people visit more northern places. London is nice n all but its not the be all and end all of England (or even Britain)!!
