Reading Your YT Comments | Living in England

[@AdventuresAndNaps]

I am so overwhelmed with such kind and thoughtful comments! Thank you so much for all the support these last few years and here's to more silly videos in the future!!

[@kevoconnor145]

As with any situation, there are always going to be a few idiots and attention seekers who try to bring people down. The vast majority of us who follow and watch your videos do so because we enjoy them.

[@gazelliott2414]

your funny as fuck keep the videos coming lol

[@gemmell70uk]

Thank you Alana am hoping is one L lol as i get annoyed with my real name being Allan and having to spell it my whole life asd 2 Ls lol is brilliant seeing someone tryoing snacks for the first tiem i grew up with and remembering the first time feeling

[@roughcuts5236]

Please don’t read the comments!!! Strange I know this is in your comments. It will drive you crazy if you take the comments to heart, it’s so easy to be mean if you’re anonymous. Stay happy

[@Andy-dv3pe]

Your videos are brilliant. Ive never commented before as i don't see the point. As you quite rightly point out if you dont like something simply switch it off. However after watching this i feel i needed to say how great i think u and your videos are. Some of the comments that you have received are shocking and stupid. Hope we can continue hearing from you as the videos crack me up.

[@SaskiaLikesCats]

On behalf of all the decent people of England, you are very welcome here, and I love your videos, its so fun seeing someone try/learn about things that I've grown up with!

[@titutun]

I hardly ever leave a comment on KZbin. Now I've seen this, I'm making an exception. Your videos are brilliant. Please don't change and especially, don't let these silly people upset you. They are jealous of your popularity, wit, beauty and intelligence. P.S. We do care.

[@mikebeckerman5785]

Here's a compliment from one of the creepy old men of the internet (and my creepy old wife). We have been following your commentary for some time in preparation for our upcoming trip to England and Scotland (now only two weeks away). We have found your cultural insights to be invaluable. It's not our first trip over there, but any knowledge of local customs will surely be very useful. We enjoy your style of presentation. Keep up the good work. We'd bring you some Cheetos, but aren't going to be in Kent. Mike and Barbara North Carolina

[@lisawakefield6994]

Never before in the history of mankind, has it been so easy for us to connect with people on the other side of the world. How sad that people have to be so negative and nasty. It's a good thing that you have such a good handle on life. Why can't people just listen to another persons viewpoint without being so judgemental? Bless you for being such a sweet girl. X

[@emdiar6588]

I honestly believe that it's BECAUSE we are more connected than ever before that things are going from bad to worse in World Politics. I am English but it's got to the point where I actually root AGAINST England in the Euros. I live in the Netherlands for work but am currently staying in England while the pandemic rages to care for an elderly relative. While I have been living abroad, the English seem to have slowly become more and more like a bunch of racist, flag waving, 'me-first', Right Wing dicks. It saddens me. People who used to go through life with ignorant nationalistic views in private, now have the internet to embolden them, and this previously background casual bigotry has now become their primary passion. The England flag has been appropriated by these Ukip/Boris loving neofascist hobby-racists, and as they all support England and have a massive superiority complex, it would actually cheer me up to see them get knocked down a peg or two. To anyone wanting to call me a self hating traitor.... NOPE. It's you I hate for destroying my country's international reputation and turning it into an insular, isolationist, inward looking backwater of Europe.

[@kevoconnor145]

This is actually 1 of my favourite video's that you've done. The people posting those comments are idiots, but as a Brit, I gotta say I truly appreciated your sarcastic responses. 😊

[@fhmsyndicate5388]

I agree, although the term I'd use is the american "asshats"!(For want of an uncensored word)

[@thetek2006]

Haters will always hate especially when faced with someone radiating such genuinely good vibes. I find your videos uplifting with this random chatty feel, like sitting across the table from an always upbeat friend down the pub.

[@SteveMikre44]

One of your Best Videos! I'm sorry you have to deal with such hatred.

[@andrewjoyner4133]

Gotta have a bit of a thick skin to be on youtube. Just saying Oh and Hi Allanna if you read this. I think you're very sweet.

[@jujujewel2172]

Yeah, SO TRUE - even just to comment in youtube too sometimes !! :P I definitely couldnt put myself out there, I would need seperate therapy just to handle it, and I mean on a daily basis, just no couldnt do it. But she's so pretty, she could just smile at the camera and get views. Her humour for a pretty girl.I.think is the hook and relatability for me at least. Even though we have nothing of life circumstances in common, I am anxious and also chatty... Just that she has journalism experience so it's good she now has an outlet for the skill set while working a mundane job unrelated to her area of study/educational background. She said she hated it but look she can definitely speak on camera and video herself so that is heroism for me

[@braces2]

What an excellent episode. I commend your positive attitude. I really like the way you hold up a mirror to British (of course we're all British) society and show us as others see us. Please keep up your good work.

I grew up in London but lived my teenage years and adult life in Canada. Just want to encourage you. I find your channel informative, funny and respite from all the angst out there. Ignore, delete and block the negativity - you have now a legion of positive viewers. Onward and upward.

[@jujujewel2172]

Shlibber Macshlibber Her channel rocks, eh? She is trained in media, I think she said once, (what she studied at college) but didnt enjoy working in it, but some of her skills I think help in this medium, with keeping to a topic and having a clear progression etc. Being clever and funny to some of our sensibilities is a plus, the ironic and dead pan was in the first one I saw which had me reeled in! She just needs to be more armoured up and not let things idiots say offend her

[@webbophone3377]

Sorry to hear this. Hope you're not discouraged. Your presence in England is a compliment, and your content is funny and informative. What more could anybody ask for? Pay any non-constructive/negative voices no heed.

[@lostinthought2944]

I stumbled across your channel about a month ago. I personally find your content very interesting and fun. It's interesting to understand the perspective of a Canadian living in the UK and the difference between the two countries. In fact I'm planning on going to the USA/Canada at some point in the next couple of years and I have learnt the different termonalagy peopls use in the two countries etc which has been helpful. Ignore the haters their just bitter and sad. The fact that people genuinely get angry over dumb shit like calling us English/British I don't get offended because why would i. Keep doing your thing 👊

[@richardikin]

Agreed. It's fascinating to see what people from other countries think of Britain.

[@Meeru112]

[@seth6191]

Love your videos but don't normally comment... Just want to say that you're a joy to watch for all kinds of reasons, from your quirky observations to your wry sense of humour. Thank you for all the free entertainment! I despair that you have to wade through all this garbage and admire you for talking about it. Btw, I was born and raised in Kent but now live in Newcastle which I recommend visiting: beautiful countryside and grand architecture, not too dissimilar to Bath. Canada is #1 on my list of countries to visit!

[@AdventuresAndNaps]

Thanks so much, I hope you can visit Canada someday!

[@rintinmc637]

Well said Seth 😀 why do people think it's ok to post such offensive rubbish ? Btw I agree ...Newcastle is a great place ( I live in Manchester which is also a top city)

[@Siamara100]

I am neither from England or Canada. But I still enjoy the videos. I found your channel by coincidence, when I was searching for vids of England. I find this channel relaxing and down to earth. I enjoy watching and learning about England, aswell as just follow you in general. My husband and I have often talked about visiting or moving to England at some point (obviously, visiting first and THEN decide). It is sad some people have to write bad stuff everywhere. I have a friend, who started her own channel. Just for fun, just because she wanted to do it. And before she really got started, people hated so much on her, that she decided to stop. Something she enjoyed they managed to ruin, because it (apparently?) was so important for them to write their negative thoughts. It's not even constructive criticism - it is only destructive. So thinking about my friend...I am so happy you are able to go on! That is inspiring. :)

[@AdventuresAndNaps]

Thank you! I had thought about quitting a few times because of the negativity, but decided to keep trying! Thanks so much for watching!

[@shlibbermacshlibber4106]

Be sure to take a very full tour before you make up your mind. I'm sure some people would tell you there's nowhere better than Shropshire or there's nowhere better than Berkshire or there's nowhere better than Hounslow or there's nowhere better than Dartford or there's nowhere better than Derbyshire or there's nowhere better than Cheshire and I know there are people who'd tell you there's nowhere better than Yorkshire, but do give Devon, Cornwall, central Wales, Lancashire, Cumbria, Banff, Stirling, Elgin and Forres, Cambridgeshire and the rest a look. Maybe don't bother looking at Middlebrough, Darlington or Colchester, though. Two of them have houses for sale for under £10,000 and one of them's downwind of London nad inhabited by Essex girls and Military Prison staff.

At the risk of sounding like a creepy old man, I love your videos, your outlook on life, and your communication style. More, please (especially the hilarious 'I can't make that' series)!

[@TheYorkRose]

Maybe because they want other people to feel good about themselves and spread positivity? Because the person in question said they get lots of nasty comments so it's kind to leave some positive ones to affirm the fact that there are more fans than haters? Not sure what your point is.

[@grumpy_older_man]

Hearing "Hi everyone, it's me," (every Tuesday) lifts my spirit just a little, and can put a smile on my face... Probably because I really enjoy watching your videos. Sometimes I just listen to your videos while I multi-task, with my eyes elsewhere.

[@guybuy1004]

Watching your videos is like having a fun chat with a friend. People shouldn't expect rocket science or fancy graphics. Its just a bit of fun. Some people obviously don't get that. But I think the informal nature of these videos might be why your fans sometimes ask you personal questions. It's because they see you as a kind of friend, or someone they would like to be friends with. Take it as a complement. And keep posting. You are doing great.

[@dorobot05]

It's interesting listening to your point of view about living in England. As a foreigner myself (even though I am naturalised) in England, I can relate with sometimes the childlike wonder of discovering new things. Also, show us what's in that Pub Dogs book!

I am British/Welsh and my Wifes British/Engilsh and we are both proud of it the only time i am full on Welsh is when Wales is playing sports and i have friendly banta with the Scots, English and Irish over whos teams doing better or not.

[@lwaves]

I don't put myself in the same group as those commenters but I do class myself as English, not British, but I have no issue with others calling me British as it's just a term that's not incorrect. I do it because it's my country of birth and British has been superseded by the UK. We have a UK postal address and a UK passport, so for me it's England, UK, not England, Great Britain. I can somewhat understand the backlash though, not that I completely agree with it. If you look at famous people, someone like Hugh Grant and Benedict Cumberbatch are generaly considered British actors (especially outside this country). Whereas Tom Jones is generally considered Welsh, whilst Ewan MacGregor and Sean Connery are considered Scottish, not British. To some it can seem like 'English' is being washed away and their identity along with it.

Nope, not wind - just an unflinching reality about the amount of dweebs out there, casting their unwanted negativity throughout the ether. Cracking job on outing them and basically laughing in their faces. You may not be a comedian, but you have great delivery and you have truly mastered sarcasm. Tis your foil. Keep it going, keep the faith and keep the bastards down. But poo-poo points on the "let's go". Please don't miss that again.

[@TripAstute]

Thank you ... this video was so therapeutic to me! I also did a video that gets a ton of negative comments from people (particularly those in the UK). I've almost turned off the comments because it was getting so hard to read through them and not feel attacked. I'm sorry that you're dealing with it as well. I wish people would realize how much their words can affect a person, especially as a content creator.

As an old guy although hopefully not a creepy one, I'd have to ask if it comes as a surprise that many men of all ages but low success and self esteem tend to think the only reason women do anything is so that men can look at them.

I freaking love you and this is a lovely channel that I can't get enough of. Stupid people can actually become destructive, which is why you learn to put them in their place as you grow more mature. They need to be handled or they will sometimes start handeling you. For example, I used to give out my respect just automatically as soon as I met someone. I have learned that a hell of a lot of people out there will never deserve anything like that. Nowadays, everyone I meet needs to earn my respect a little bit.

your just so cute, remember their is always more good people then the haters.

[@Manwithnoname-90]

You, Miss, are a legend. Keep up the good work.

[@stevesanders3864]

Your channel is great, very entertaining, and one of the few I regularly watch, and look forward to each week ☺️ I guess some people are just mean, or angry, or just easily take offense, and love letting you know all about their feelings! 😂 I'm older, but I certainly didn't take offense at your creepy old men comments, as you're right, and it was funny!! 😂

[@neiljvoice1603]

I find it fascinating to see peoples different views of this funky country. Keep posting :)

[@mikelang58]

I came across your channel a couple of years after this so genuinely fascinating that this popped in the videos to view now and a very different video from what I’m used to but really enjoyed and appreciated it as you so perfectly dealt with the asinine and really sad, juvenile and ignorant comments that so often typify “social media commentary”. I just love how intelligently, grounded and humorously you just put all this crap firmly in it’s place. This is genuinely a fascinating, cogent, rational analysis & very effective refutation of the down side of “comments” the likes of which I have never seen any other content producer I’m aware of even attempt, never mind achieve. This may well be a few years too late but thank you, great job👍

[@yoshu9983]

Hi Alanna I commend you on your courage; courage to travel and live abroad and your courage to expose those people who go out of their way to be hurtful. My studies and experience with educating adults on essential life skills has taught me a great deal about human nature. People who are inclined to express hurtful comments are often bitter about some aspects of their life and use the obscurity of the internet to write things that they would not likely say in a face to face conversation. Negative criticism can be made in a constructive manner. Hurtful comments, even those veiled as constructive criticism, are often made in an effort to release the anger and hurt that a person is experiencing in their life and is directed at targets of convenience, such as yourself. I watch your postings because I enjoy your perspective on a variety of interesting topics and I particularly enjoy the effort you put in to making these videos. Your delightful personality makes these all the more enjoyable. Stay the course.

[@lameduck9]

we love your videos, it's great to hear your views and you always bring a great mix of intelligence and humour - there will always be some 'little islanders' who sit behind their keyboards and feel empowered but they certainly aren't representative of the majority of Brits (or Englanders). Keep up the great work, love your accent and especially your rating systems, makes us laugh x

[@blower1]

Btw keep calling Graham, Gram - as that will probably annoy the hell out of him :D (it's pronounced Gray-ham in the UK...with very little emphasis on the 'h')

[@paulrowe3250]

Can think of few thing's too call him😉 ps hi gram 😈

[@hairyairey]

I thought that was a reference to the weight of his brain! :-)

[@bicyclemanNL]

Go shades of ????

[@jakartaharpman]

So interesting to see these comments. It's amazing what people will say. I think I'd get upset. It's great that not only do you not get upset, but you actually manage to make such an upbeat and informative video out of them.

[@coffeeaprayer904]

Truth: We all have our own unique opinions. Truth: You are adorable Truth: People are just mean

[@gorgainde1978]

😘

[@gorgainde1978]

I love your picture

[@nathanwalker6360]

Found your channel the other day n been binge watching since!! Love your sense of humour and your point of view....looking forward to next vid...Peace ✌

[@dismafuggerhere2753]

I watch because you remind me what hopeful and happy people look like and I think oh yeah. I'll let the catchphrase thing go... but just this once lol

[@dismafuggerhere2753]

the English / British thing (I think) is simply a matter of how we refer to ourselves. for the most part, while at home we're English, Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish. we're still British, we just rarely self reference ourselves that way unless sport is involved. British is what everyone else calls us and sometimes it doesn't feel quite right, but no biggie either.

[@halcroj]

@@dismafuggerhere2753 For me, the only time it doesn't feel quite right is when we're referred to as "Brits". I'm not offended, but it just doesn't sound right.

[@TheYorkRose]

I am a Brit who is British and if someone called me an Englishman I'd find it very odd since it hasn't ever happened to me.. So each to their own 😁😁

[@ThePeskyjay]

I love to watch your videos, even if I don't usually comment. I find them entertaining and never dull. So thank you and don't ever stop. :D

[@jamesreid8523]

Hey there I am a Brit and been watching your videos for some time now and love what you do. I should also say that I apologise for my fellow Brits who have posted negative things towards you. These people are just a bunch of sad rude idiots with to much time on there hands at the end of the day so don’t worry to much about them. Anyway forget about them and keep the videos coming and all the best for the future.

[@TheRodmena]

I will be there in few months and your videos are actually very informative. Thanks.

[@MultiKate4444]

I enjoy watching your videos and is interesting to find out what you think and experience while living in the UK. And how we differ in everyday life, culture, accent etc. Unfortunately there are some people and mostly ignorant people who enjoy being unpleasant. Hopefully the nicer people out weigh the awful ones. Keep up the good work.

[@VonPunk]

Two phrases spring to mind that I use 'A hater is your jealous biggest fan' and 'Be happy, it annoys negative people'. Anyway, keep doing what you're doing and being you, it's fun to watch and listen to. :)

[@HuatulcoGuy]

One of your best videos so far. However, you are a bit harsh on some of those regarding the whole ring thing. 1, you are not too young to be engaged. 2, maybe people noticed it and just wanted to go out of their way to congratulate you because they were genuinely happy for you if it was an engagement ring. 3, you want it to be a private matter, but you are the one putting yourself out there so as long as people are not being rude about it you can't fault them for being curious. Just my two pence. ✌️

[@jujujewel2172]

I agree with you on that one mate

[@JasonMilner]

Haven't watched your videos for a while (YT seems to lose channels from recommended far too easily) - glad I've found you again :). Noli illegitimi carborundum.

[@deefenbakerone4369]

It's amazing the security a keyboard affords a troll, who needs Kevlar. Remember one thing.. Keep calm and carry on.

[@jonsmith8582]

Very brave of you to do that , you certainly have to be a bit of a tough cookie to face the negative comments . Keep up the good work !

[@WillRiker0504]

I’m sorry that so many people seem to think it’s OK to be negative, nasty, and downright hostile towards you. As one of the, I guess, “creepy old man” brigade I’ve been watching you since YT recommended your first ‘Eat This’ back in November 2017. I found you funny and entertaining, subscribed, and have been watching & being entertained by your videos since. I’m an older, married bloke, and how you look, or what you wear, or if you do or don’t wear your glasses never enters into the equation for me, you are funny, entertaining, and engaging, (as in I always watch the entirety of your videos unlike some more ‘established’ KZbinrs). I’m also English but often refer to myself as British. In the grand scheme of things there is little difference in my mind. I have quite a few health issues, and live with chronic pain, and can genuinely say that your weekly videos, regardless of topic, are a high point of my week. (I’ve read most of the books that you spoke about in a past video too, and your recommendations were good). Bollocks to the haters, you are closing in on 30k subscribers so you are obviously doing something right. Anyway, until next time, Byeeeeeeee. 😂

[@Sableagle]

I'm another of the "too old to be engaged" fans here, and it's possible I never noticed the glasses, because I wear them myself and they're an out-of-focus foreground detail that I'm used to ignoring. The comment about being attractive has got me thinking, though: *is* that why we watch? Can our motivation be described as a mixture of social, intellectual, aesthetic, romantic and/or sexual attraction? Is "socially attractive" a thing? Alanna's cheerful, polite and enthusiastic. That makes her pleasant to have around. Is that social attractiveness? Maybe we really are all here because Alanna's attractive. It's not like she was ever going to talk me into eating Fry's Turkish Delight, even if she did enjoy it.

[@angeloffish]

The last guy who says”Who cares” must care. He cared enough to comment.

[@grahamjonathan762]

A first grade teacher explains to her class that she's American and asks her students to raise their hands if they're American too. Not really knowing why, but wanting to be like their teacher, hands explode into the air like fireworks. There is, however, one exception, a girl named Becky isn't going along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different. "Because I'm not an American." "Then, what are you?" asks the teacher. "I'm a proud Canadian!" boasts the little girl. The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red and asks Kristen why she feels she's Canadian. "Well, my mom and dad are Canadians, so I'm a Canadian too." The teacher is now angry and screams, "That's no reason! What if your mom was a moron and your dad was a moron!? What would you be then?" A pause and a smile. "Then," says Kristen. "I'd be an American."

[@hairyairey]

and weirdly this might be why Ted Cruz couldn't ever become US President (I know - massive change of subject...)

[@grahamjonathan762]

@imaprouduclabruin So, by you reckoning: If two Rottweilers mated and had their pups in a stable that would make them horses. Which makes you stupid

[@grahamjonathan762]

@imaprouduclabruin What other hand? you only have one hand and that's attached to your tweezers

[@shirleyboy8859]

New to your channel so trying to catch up, I don`t have time to read all your comments but most that I do read are positive. The negative ones are from sad people, most just doing it to wind you up, but I can see that you are so level headed that you know that. As for me, you make me laugh you make me smile, you are a breath of fresh air. :-))) xxx

[@williamfox4]

At what age do I change from “man” to “creepy old man”? You should take a look at filtering the profanity and blocking the usual suspects. I’ve been here since around 5k subs because I enjoy your positive attitude and one day I hope for an extended stay in a different country.
