As opposed to metaphorically?

The room temperature vs refrigerated eggs thing is actually due to differences in health regulations in Europe vs the US. The the US, health regulations require eggs to be washed before they are sold. While this removes dirt and germs from the shell, it also removes a protective coating on the shell which prevents germs from passing through the shell membrane and into the egg. Thus, washed eggs need to be refrigerated. However, in many places in Europe, health regulations require that eggs NOT be washed. While this results in the outside shells being dirtier, it helps retain the protective coating on the shell, making it more difficult for germs to enter the egg, meaning unwashed eggs don't need to be refrigerated.

Phillip Aubin - since when do low temperatures disable a bacterium. It only prevents overgrowth. Cooking to a minimum temperature is what kills bacteria on food. This is why you can let steaks (not ground meats) acclimate before cooking them, you're cooking from the outside at hundreds of degrees C.

@Phillip Aubin the US bleaches their eggs, the EU regulates exposure to salmonella in chicken farms, we limit the possibility of our eggs ever coming into contact with salmonella, thus it's safe to keep them unrefrigerated, refrigeration does not kill any bacteria, it only slows or stops their growth, the downside is, it also makes your eggs go bad quicker (not rotten, just not good, like stale bread), i have eggs in my cupboard right now that i've had for 2 months, unrefridgerated and they are still fine to cook and eat, if i'd kept them refridgerated they wouldn't have lasted 2 weeks!

My mum was from Liverpool after her husband died in a Birminghan foundry accident. As a "donut dolly" in WWII she met & married my dad. I was born less than 24 hours after the ship docked. She had 2 daughters from Skip McGuire and every month we had "White rabbit day" on the 1st of te month, So much British/Northern Irish heritage I can remember after 79 years on this earth.

The tea thing is a psychological approach; you’re attending to a basic human need & concentrating therein, which Makes you take a step back from the issue at hand, thus when you readdress it, you’re past the initial shock & can deal in a more logical way

Yeah, as an American, it’s hardly ever said here. At least where I live lol.

I have an interesting take on this because I'm British but probably more than twice your age. It was fascinating to see how many things you've chosen that would not have occurred to me because they're more recent (instead of Freddos we used Mars Bars to gauge inflation) - and on the other hand, how many things have been around since I was young and will probably be around for ever (for example, talking about the weather, and having a cup of tea). :)

On David Tennant's very first outing as The Doctor, he explains why the cup of tea is so restorative and why we get it right when we put the kettle on in those situations. Also, when I lived in South Africa as a young person, if someone broke a glass in a bar, we would yell 2.50, the price of a new glass at the time. Thanks for the video.

It's not the cup of tea that helps, it's the sitting down and taking your time and just taking a breath to calm down and discuss the situation.

Statement Number 3 about a cup of tea making everything better is absolutely true! And not just in England either, but here in Australia too. There's a very old saying here that went: "All you need is a cup of tea, a bex and a nice lie down!" Younger Aussies wouldn't have heard this because Bex hasn't been available for years, but I think it was probably the Bex that made people feel better, because it contained a dose of amphetamines and morphine. No wonder people recommended Bex as well as tea and a lie down as the best cure all! But I always make tea, no matter what the situation is, unless it's evening and then I go for the good old gin and tonic. Love your channel, from Amanda in Australia ❤️

It has got ridiculous with fireworks over here in the UK in recent years. They let them off, and have the accompanying bonfires over a several week period on either side of the official 5th November date. As soon as fireworks go on sale, several weeks before the date, kids will have already made a Guy Fawkes effigy, to go touting for money to buy fireworks. A Guy is typically a life sized figure made out of any old clothes, stuffed with newspaper /rags and will have a grotesque looking face mask. They sit outside shops etc with them, asking people to "give a penny for the Guy". Some community organised bonfire and fireworks displays will have a competition to judge the best Guy's and select a prize winner. They will all ritually get thrown on the bonfire to symbolise the Gunpowder Plot being foiled. It all seems to blend into one with Halloween these days, which wasn't really a big UK celebration here, until made popular by the various films.

@stevehaddon151 You need to get out more, they're certainly going off over a several week period. Plenty of people have bonfires and fireworks at home.. Even local councils etc, have organised bonfires and displays, some of my family go to the civic one every years. Two others have to have their dogs to the vet to start a sedation course from mid-October, to well into mid-November. Same with the Guy Fawkes, they're outside shops begging your loose change.

My experience when I was living in Scotland for a while: people never use umbrellas because they would have to carry them ALL THE TIME. The rain can't be predicted the same way it can in other countries. Also, you guys get a lot of drizzle instead of actual rain, which is much easier to deal with without an umbrella. In my country, if it rains, IT RAINS.

I would say a better translation would be 'treat yourself'. And I (being German, tho not particularly young) would use 'gönn dir' pretty much the same as 'treat youself' or 'go for it!' not something the person being offered the naughty thing would say, but rather something the person offering or a friend would say.

Usually, when someone breaks something in a restaurant, there is a slight pause in conversation and maybe a few sighs, ohs or ahs. But I was in a restaurant once when someone knocked over a large tray of classes. There was a long moment of silence; then someone got up and started applauding and everyone joined in. The nearest people joined in helping to clear it up and offer words of encouragement that it "happens to the best."

I do feel you on the use of umbrellas. I live in Western Oregon in the U.S., which is very rainy, like where you live, and we can generally indentify the people who grew up here because they will not use an umbrella unless it is pouring rain, and often not even then, they will just be wearing a rain shell (a lightweight hiking rain jacket).

The egg bit is actually quite important! The correct storage temperature for an egg depends on how it has been prepared previously. If it was simply picked up, it should be stored at room temperature. If, on the other hand, it was washed, it must be refrigerated! This distinction may seem strange, but it is key to avoiding a warm, moist environment where _Salmonella_ can easily multiply.

Two staples were corn dogs (a hotdog on a stick dipped in cornbread batter, then deep-fried) and cotton candy (cotton floss).

The scone conundrum A scone before it is eaten is a s + cone. When it is eaten it’ scon. The cream or jam problem is easily solved by rotating the scone after jam and cream has been applied so that the filling “appears” in the right order ie cream on jam or jam on cream, simples 😋

You have to put the jam on first or else it will just slide right off the top of the cream ( agree with her pronunciation though). Australians also use "pop" in that way very often.
