For the most part the "two taps" are only found in very old houses - the reason for this is that the entire "hot" water plumbing system is completely different from the "cold" water system, because old hot water tanks were very easy to get contaminated, so hot water was considered non-potable and couldn't be mixed.

you have to ask for acetaminophen the actual drug not the brand's

Water bottles - I think those went out in the 70s in America. I remember my grandma having one, Easter Eggs - We have Cadburry Creme eggs, We also have various brands of chocolate eggs. J Cloth - As mentioned, not that brand, but we have those types of 'rags' Paracetamol - Also known as acetaminophen. Tylenol is the most common brand, but you can get store brands and other generic brands. Stores make more money off selling Tylenol, so that's what they'll suggest. Double tap - Also went out (for the most part) decades ago. Single tap can be adjusted using hot and cold to make a nice warm temperature. Castles - We aren't an old enough country for castles. Castles are from a time centuries before America was 'discovered'

I find it ironic and amusing that in Ireland and the UK everyone has electric kettles but still use hot water bottles. In the US everyone has an electric heating pad (and possibly an electric blanket) and a standard kettle that can be used on any stove (including wood and oil) or even a campfire.

Hi Diane! Great video (*as always)! I would add a slight addendum though: Generic paracetamol is available in the U.S. (pretty much everywhere). It is simply referred to here as "acetaminophen." While Tylenol is the most popular name-brand for it, even Walmart sells their own generic version of it (which is much less pricey). The names are different because of differing naming standards around the world. The U.S., Canada, Japan, Iran and some Latin American countries call it "acetaminophen" while the U.K., Australia, E.U., etc. use "paracetamol." *EDIT - Darn. I should have read the comments before writing one of my own. It seems like others were pointing this out. Still, your videos are fantastic, Diane!

A sausage roll looks a whole lot like what we call a Pig in a Blanket or Sausage Kolache. Sold commonly at donuts shops everywhere in the US.

Hello Diane, my given name is Paul Lynch, I was born in Orlando, Florida but my mother was born in Dalkey. My father was from West Texas, and obviously has an Irish last name. So, I lived in Dalkey for about 1 year when I was 3-4 years old, and I went to 4, 5 and 6 grade in High Wycombe, England. My father was in the Air Force. The rest of the time I lived in California. So I grew up with hot water bottles, I ate real Cadbury's Chocolate which my mum's relatives would send us and I was sad when the Cadbury's company sold all their distribution rights to Hershey's who ruined the name here in the US because it is way too sweet. I prefer Irish and British sweets. I am now 62 and both my parents have passed, so you remind of my time with loved ones and I love your channel so much. Also, I always have Christmas crackers because it wouldn't be Christmas without them. I can relate to your videos having grown up in between both cultures, so you always raise my spirits. Also, for me Christmas has to have shortbread and mince meat tarts. Thank you for reminding me of my roots. ps: my genealogy is 60% British and 40% Irish, that's it. Again, thank you for your videos because my Mum was also quite a weird one, and I miss her dearly. Her name was Maud Louise Warner but her mum's name was Brennan. My dad's name was James Emmett Bowden Lynch. Also these days I live as a Buddhist Monk and Teacher, so my handle is my buddhist name.

There are places in the U.S. that are similar - in the South people have good manners and are generally pretty friendly. Most of the rural areas are decent but go to Dublin and walk around. Then go to any similar sized US city and compare. It is just different there in a good way. At least for now.

Hot water bottles are at Walgreens and other pharmacies.

Loved your facial expressions, gestures, “rawrf”/“nom nom” noises when describing the 2 types of sausage rolls (crispy and soft-squishy). 😂

J-cloth could have been Sham-Wow, but it never really took off

If someone brought sausage rolls to America, they would be greasy and fattening.

Drive down to your local donut shop and ask for a Pig in a Blanket or Sausage Kolache. Voila!

You're so right, Diane! It's because of you that I knew to try prawn cocktail crisps when I visited Ireland this year. Loved them! I also enjoyed sausage rolls. In fact, the food was amazing! Loved the sticky toffee pudding, too! You should be an ambassador. 😉☘

Another great video. I likes the extra shots of Editor Diane, although she looked a little upset. Not a sausage roll but if you are in Texas look for Shipleys do-nuts and look for kolaches. My favorite is sausage, cheese, and jalapeno. NUMMY!

Well, soon You won't be on that list!

Every house in America damn near has an "electric kettle". They are called coffee pots. Regardless of brand, they all can boil the water and dispense it into a container without the coffee.

Not well. They always have loose grounds in there. I just use the microwave to heat water

Near San Antonio is a large community with historical ties to Slovakia. One of the treats we can get nearly everywhere for 300 miles around are kolaches, which seem to be what you call sausage rolls. The sausage ranges from basic hot dog to hot dogs with cheese and/or jalapeno bits inside.

As a boy in the sixties we would get in our Easter basket a large hollow chocolate egg filled with other candy. Our tub back then had separate hot and cold taps. And yes, it was a nuisance to get the temperature right.

Every single grocery store chain, and every single major chain store (like Walmart) will have a generic version of Tylenol. Look for the active ingredient which is Acetaminophen. Paracetamol is actually a brand name, not a generic name for the medication. As for the water tap, you operate the hot and cold independently from each other thus you can tun on only the hot or only the cold if you want.

I’ve always seen and gotten Christmas crackers over here but it might be more of an East Coast thing. Castles was a great one-the only ones we have are ones built by wealthy families to look like old castles. Not quite the same.

Hot water bottles were really common several years ago, but they've pretty much faded out in favor of heating pads. Heating pads (in case you guys don't have them in Ireland) are electric pads about the same size as a hot water bottle. They usually have soft cloth protectors that go over them and it's pretty common for them to have adjustable heat settings. They do all the lovely things hot water bottles do, but they stay warm over night and don't leak...

I loved the part about the Christmas crackers! I live in New Hampshire in the USA, and my mom would hand make some for our family every Christmas, lol they didn't pop but they did always contain a corny joke and cute little cheap prize and we always looked forward to them. I don't know if it's because my family has irish ancestry and I was always taught to take pride in that, so it was a tradition passed down in our family, but I know that no one else I knew did the same, so it's really interesting to find out that it's really popular in Ireland ❤ thanks for sharing, loved the video and I really look forward to your next post 😊

We like to use electric heating pads instead of hot water bottles, especially for 'lady times!' Paracetamol is acetaminophen in the US.

Am 68 years old and never seen a castle. As a youth in Texas, all sinks had two faucets. Not so much, now. And, as a youth I remember most folk had hot water bottles. Of course, back then we drank our coffee from the saucer. Nowadays, most folk don't even use saucers.

growing up in the 1960's, I remember hot water bottles and easter eggs (chocolate).

We still have chocolate eggs and bunnies. I hate that they're hollow though

We also used to have two taps in alot of houses back in the old days.

Just to share.. I’m from the US and I grew up with two taps, however it seems that starting in the 80’s more and more houses were built with only the single tap. Nowadays I rarely run into them..

Two taps were actually very common in U.S. bathrooms decades ago, but we’ve evolved.

There use to be hot water bottles in the US but we changed it for heating pads.

We also have hot water bottles, but those aren't safe for small children, so a "happy rock" or a microwavable bag of rice (cotton) is more popular. A "happy rock" is just a piece of soapstone that lives on the woodstove, then when we would have needed a hot water bottle we take a wool sock, stick one hand in it, grab the soapstone, pull in, twist, push back through. Quickly. In the end, a "happy rock" is a hot piece of soapstone inside two layers of wool sock.

Sausage rolls sound like the perfect thing to have at an Irish pub, btw i love the way you say pub.

My mum often gets Christmas Crackers for us. They're not traditional in the US but are readily available if you look.

I grew up in a city with a chocolaterie that has been in business since 1899. Easter they make solid chocolate covered fudge eggs by hand. The largest ones weigh kilos and are for special events. You cut them up like a cake.

First, God bless you. Second, silent Editor Diane is very powerful. 4:25 She raised her eyebrow, I nearly fell off my chair.

We have most of these things, although some of your list are not used by many. Most taps here are separate but then come out one spout. We have J cloths but they are not called that.

Hey D. First off, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your channel and everything you do (and Chewie too), but I had to share what happened on this vid when I hit the CC button. I wanted to watch your vid right away but I am in a place with others and I forgot my earphones. When I arrived at your discussing bidet's, the CC kept coming up as BJ's , which I'm sure you're smart enough to know what those are. I ended up borrowing someone's earphones to get the actual arc. Awesome job again but the CC REALLY changed the meaning of things !!!
