The Terrifying Difference Between Night And Day In The Countryside | Michael McIntyre

[@MrIanWarwick]

We, the rural peoples, have organized it thus to keep the city dwellers out.

[@embersharp4084]

As a rural person I agree completely with this statement! Those city dwellers will always get lost in a town's hidden away in trees.

Too true

Hi, Storm! Couldn't resist a response to your plight... If your bed has a broken leg, stack some books under it. HA! YES! You see what I did, there? All right, I apologise. I'm really most dreadfully sorry. That was a flippant, facetious, and unhelpful thing for me to have said. I'm ashamed. Deeply, deeply ashamed... I was wrong to suggest using books go support your bed's broken leg. Old VHS boxes are way better. ;-)

I grew up in Utah so that was a pretty rural state, and I can confirm that these things were true, I remember something that happened when I was really young, basically this was still when I lived in the trailer park, and sometimes I would camp outside with Henry. So one night we were sitting outside and we had a long day of camping together so we set up the tents and got in our sleeping bags, and I swear that I was sound asleep, like out cold, when I was woken up by a noise that sounded like “Eeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhh!Eeeeeeeee-e-e-e-ahhhh!” That is literally what I heard, and I swear that as soon as the sound came I could hear Henry screaming, he was normally a tough guy, but he screamed like a little girl on that night. I was also scared so we bolted out of there and left all our stuff. Also I found out that this sound matches a coyote call, so I think that was the animal I heard.

[@ashleighloh989]

The night shift animals 😂😂😂🤣

[@debbieexcell5088]

The cat noises while in heat is definitely true. So too are the strange noises one hears during the night. First time it happened to me, I swore I nearly had a heart attack.

This is 10 miles out of town, so if you don’t know where you’re going we have to give directions. So go to the GPS location, turn around and go back to the first house on the right. If you get to the church on the left, you’ve gone too far

The answer to the Google question of "what animal sounds like a child screaming in the woods" is a fox.

I can tell you what happens if you call 999 on the road to a public park in broad daylight in the middle of summer, when you find a cyclist bleeding in the middle of the road. Fire, police or Ambulance. Ambulance. What is the name of your street? It's not a street, it's the road from the A### to Whatever public park. What is the name of your street? It hasn't got a name. It's the road that leads from the A### to Whatever public park. You need to tell me the name of your street. (Loop back and repeat several times.) This is the first time I have ever called 999, and I am appalled at your lack of understanding of the fact that roads in the countyside do not have street names. If that's your attitude, I can easily hang up. True fact.

Oh my gosh - this was reminding me of Suffolk as well, especially my first time there - my at-the-time fiance's parents lived in Suffolk (near Ed Sheeran's place), now that is 'real country' - and I had to stay there with them for a few winter months while fiance was setting up business elsewhere. I'm from the city, and I will NEVER forget the nights there - the first time I went outside at night, I had the fright of my life! Michael is NOT exaggerating about it haha - and that's what makes it so funny - it's the shared experience of that.. you really can't see anything... I was SO freaked out. (I live in Brighton now too BTW - and I was warned beforehand about the seagulls - but far worse for us is not so much 'mental people's weird noises as drunk students, and drunk other people, walking past talking loudly or shouting, every single night and well into morning...."SHUT UP!!".
