Darker skinned people can suffer vitamin D deficiancy, which can lower your mood, during our winter months. You can get suppliments in the supermarkets. Another reason for the smaller houses compared to American houses has nothing to do with insulation but is because you can fit England, Scotland and Wales (mainland Britain) in to the state of Texas. Space is a premium here.

The problem most Americans have with our food is that they have never tasted actual food before. Salt, spices and chemicals cover everything they eat, so their tastebuds cannot handle subtle flavours. We have the opposite problem with US foods. Our tastebuds are so sensitive that eating even the mildest US food is like having your tongue burned out and the levels of salt in US food are just disgusting to us,

@@joeydepalmer4457 I was just saying that England is further North than America. Yes, for me in England, I have a 5 min drive to a supermarket and a 30 min drive to a big hospital (our nearest doesn't do everything).

Wow, what a coincidence! When I was in Vietnam during the war, I was really depressed for very similar reasons: Rainy all day, incomprehensible language, ration can food, narrow roads, no air conditioner, spiders. Plus bullets from four directions, of course.

Interesting perspective! I’m English, but have spent a fair amount of time in the US. A lot of people are surprised by how small our homes are, how narrow the roads are, how cramped the Tube (subway) is. Remember that England is a very old country. We still have a lot of roads built by the Romans. Yes, really! So it would take a lot of money and time and disruption to widen roads and subways, when in reality there’s no real need as it works just fine. Americans are typically used to larger cars but in England and the UK it’s mostly only rich people and farmers who have big cars (like 4x4s, Jeeps, SUVs/minivans etc). A lot of our homes are laid out in the way that you showed not necessarily because of insulation, but because they used to be large homes for wealthy Victorians and Edwardians, and then more recently (relatively speaking - say 100 years ago) got split up into smaller flats for individuals or small households. this is the case particularly for cities like London, Manchester, Birmingham, after people moved in from country for industrial and professional jobs and it became less common for young people to live at home until they married. Another thing people are often surprised about is how washing machines are in the kitchen or bathroom here in the UK. It’s rare that we have a separate room just for doing laundry - some larger family houses have a “utility room “which is sort of a hybrid between an internal room and a garage, and often has the washing machine and laundry staff, but also may act as a “mud room” for shoes and coats and dog walking stuff. Definitely not as polished and clean as American laundry rooms! Whenever I see any reference to American homes with laundry rooms and closets and pantries, I just wish we had that kind of space over here. We generally keep our clothes in a freestanding cupboard, and our food in cabinets on the wall. On the weather, as others have said it just doesn’t get that hot or humid to need air-conditioning or screens on the windows. Recently we have been having more heat waves, and it has really become quite unpleasant in the summer. Again, the age of our infrastructure would make it very difficult and expensive to fit air-conditioning in the London Underground for example. You might find it interesting to hear my contrasting experience about the US - when I first visited Miami I couldn’t believe how spreadout everything was, the fact that you can’t get anywhere without driving, nothing was older than about 60 years. It was bizarre! Also I love American supermarkets, they’re so big and open and everything is on display, and a lot of the products are more reasonably sized and more economically sized than in the UK. Yes, some of these “super-size “products seem a bit ridiculous to ask, but here in the UK to get a pot of sour cream for example it’s this tiny pot that costs more than a giant tub in the US, and things like baking soda are considered a bit of a special product rather than something you can get anywhere in abundance for super cheap.

That's strange. When I was in the UK I noticed that the roads were not much different to narrow horse and cart routes and traffic jams, noise, air pollution etc were rampant. Then , much to my amazement I saw that these horse and cart routes were further narrowed down to allow for bus lanes and cycle lanes. Strange how suddenly money can be found to reduce the horse and cart routes width even further. Then stick a 20 mph speed limit on all major routes and expect the commuter to sit in even more traffic jams and allow even longer to get to and from work. This means loss of work/life balance, stress and even more stress on the heart and mind of the poor commuter . Not very healthy is it ? This has meant even more traffic jams, even more roadworks, frustrated drivers, road rage and lots and lots of air pollution. I'm so glad I left. My commute times were the longest in Europe and I wasn't prepared to sit in even more traffic jams just to earn a living . The railways were even worse, costly, unreliable at the best of times and not very clean

The food thing, Europeans don’t load everything with salt and sugar because we give people the option, you can add salt to your MacDonalds fries.

London gets less rain each year than Miami, Orlando, New Orleans, New York, Washington DC, Rio de Janeiro, Sydney, and Mexico City. The darkness, yeah it’s a pain in winter, but in summer we get long evenings to make up for it. It might be worth you taking a vitamin D supplement if you are struggling though.

They all say that *until they come to dull wet grey miserable Britain* Since last sep 2020 we *only had 2 weeks of consistent sunny weather* and 85% of the days have either been dark grey clouds and drizzle, the parks and streets are muddy with squashed slugs,phlegm,dog crap and litter. Honestly its like living in Prison.

I'm with you on the narrow parking spaces. I think there must be an official "standard" width for UK parking spaces, which seems to be designed for a 1960's Mini. It's a false economy, because it only takes 1 driver to park slightly off-centre in 1 space and the next space is then useless. Just take 1 space out of each row and make all the other spaces a bit wider. Easy.

you should not normally back out of a parking space. that is v risky, as unsighted. you should reverse in, and drive out. makes sense. also for a quick get-away, if needed.

Some seriously ignorant comments here! I live in London and love it here! It doesnt mean it's a perfect place. Opinions are subjective and these are from your perspective only, doesn't make it fact or false... The comment section needs to chill lol. Anywayyy I'm sure you've had a great time here and made many special memories the UK has a lot to offer for such a small island. It would be good to hear what your experience has been from a black minority perspective. I find that UK celebrates other cultures and ethnicities way more than the US and I don't find the same racial divide here but maybe that's just me. Take care ✌️

The UK has very short Winter days (about 7 hours long), but it has very long Summer days (about 17 hours long). Which is sick in my opinion 😂😄

The best cures for SAD and depression over here- a trip to the pub, a nice warm tea and sitting by the fire, and watching ‘Only Fools And Horses’ on TV (Our favourite British sitcom). If you haven’t already, treat yourself to the full box set! You will love it! The winters here are long, cold, wet and dark but the summers here are amazing ❤️

I’m considering moving to the UK can you tell me what the process was you went through? Like housing jobs what did you go through leaving the US?

Just to help out, I love the video, I’m from London. The point about the houses in comparison to the us is ligit about location and space. Basically because the uk is so small but with a huge population it’s so expensive to buy land and especially in the south the houses are taller to make more room - like an apartment near a train station near London is usually minimum £1million whereas in the us because there’s so much space land is so much cheaper - it’s so crazy if you google us vs uk house comparisons xxxx

There are a variety of English accents and pronunciation of words in the UK. For example: fast and class. At primary school we were taught to pronounce these letters in a particular way: A, E, I, O, U. However many people pronounce them differently depending on where they live, the schools they have gone to and how they have been brought up. Watching the Birds of a Feather sitcom, you can hear the East End accent from the blonde woman. If you listen to the way the Queen speaks. She has a normal English accent..

My memories of England, mostly in London, were those of a tourist. Several years back I spent 10 days in London. I think the complaint about terrible food is exaggerated. In my opinion the Pub Food was very good. The best sausage I've ever had was in a Pub in London. The people I met were polite and friendly. As far as the language difference after a few days I picked up most of the words that are different than American English. I found British Televisión to really be really entertaining. Although I spent most of my time in London i took a Bus Tour outside of London, Stonehenge, Bath and Salisbury. The countryside of England was very pleasant. I haven't stayed in England as a resident, so I believe I probably would have found a few things that I would have had problems with.

Oh for goodness’ sake. On the one hand you say the weather is dreadful and on the other hand you say it’s bad because we don’t have air conditioning. We open the windows and the doors or we buy fans or we just don’t bother about it. Very hot weather only lasts about four weeks if that. Air conditioning will be banned soon as it uses up to much energy! The UK is great. We welcome people from everywhere - really everywhere. Dozens of languages are spoken, particularly in London. The food varies like everywhere but you can get really lovely meals in most places. Only people down south run away from you at bus stops if you try to talk to them in a different accent but that’s not so bad now. People up North are friendly and maybe they can’t understand Americans! The narrow roads are because we are ancient countries with historical towns and cities. The City of London’s streets are based on a medieval street pattern reconstructed after the fire of London in 1666. Country roads were designed for moving sheep and cattle not cars. Why stick it out if you can’t stand the UK?

Sorry if I missed this anywhere in the comments, but I'm curious why it gets so dark in England at 3pm - 4pm ? I live in the U.S. in the Midwest and in the middle of winter it's dark around 5pm (which is early enough; in the summer we have daylight 'til 8pm or a little later). Mainly it's like that because of daylight savings time where we change the clocks back an hour in the winter (i.e. Fall back) and ahead in the spring (i.e. Spring forward). Does the U.K. use daylight savings time? Sorry if these seem like silly questions, but I honestly didn't know. Nonetheless, I'd really like to visit there someday, I have quite an affection for British people :)

That’s a solid question! From what I’ve been told, it’s similar to Alaska in how far north it is. So it’s not on Alaska’s level (I’ve never been but the 6 months of darkness and 6 months of daylight sounds way more intense than here). In the winter, the sun is out for shorter periods of time but in the summer the days are quite long. Some days the sun doesn’t set until 10pm! I’m also from the Midwest so my first day here, I was so confused as to why it wasn’t dark at 10pm in July 😂 I hope that kind of answers the question and I also hope you come visit sometime in the near future. It’s soo nice here

You are at about the same latitude as southern Alaska,so that is why it gets less daylight in winter.On the plus side it is a lot warmer,and the summer days are longer.

In 2004 McDonald's actually reduced the amount of salt on their fries by a quarter in UK chains as well as reduce the salt content in the sauces that they put on their burgers as a response to concerns from health experts. You can get salt in sachets if you want to add more seasoning. Something which is the norm in most UK restaurants, many will have seasonings at the table so that you can season it to your taste or you can request more seasoning from the staff. This is so that concerns on seasoning related health issues such as excess salt contributing to high blood pressure falls on the consumer, not the establishment.

For example, "open concept" or open plan as we call it is ok, but if you want to find some peace and quiet away from the TV it's hard to find another room! I do understand your feelings about winter in the UK though - I think it is the lack of light as has already been mentioned in previous comments. It is freezing here in the Midwest during winter but there are lots of blue sky days and bright sunshine, which makes a big difference! That said I hope you're enjoying your time in the UK!?

Sounds as if during the winter you could have been suffering from SAD (seasonal affective disorder) a medically recognised form of depression related to the lack of exposure to sunlight that reduces serotonin levels. You can buy lights for your home or a light box that simulates the light from the sun to help deal with this.

Just found you because I wanted to know how it was living there & omg so glad you’re so funny!...I get it I love rain, but I can see how it being dark all the time can be depressive. Yeah I have some friends from the UK & I can’t understand them sometimes. Lol. no AC?? Spiders? 😣 loved this! Subbed💕

Dani Hardy 😂😂😂 thank you!! I wanted to make sure I’m not the only one who feels that way. Omg I had some good cheese fries in a Venice McDonald’s, do they have that at the McDonald’s near you?

Casia Rose they do!! I haven’t tried them but my husband has and he LOVES them. The only thing I’ll say about McDonald’s over here in Europe is that their McChickens taste a little more “real” and healthy here but that’s about it. Soggy fries are never the vibe 😂😭

Dani Hardy 🤣🤣 that’s true, I rarely ate McDonald’s in the states because of that (except for their breakfast because I was obsessed with McGriddles lmao) but here I feel a little better about it... minus the fries because they are rough haha

​@@CasiaRoseTV I'm not upset but I get why people are. It depends how people interpret it. For example things you didn't know about our country; Our food is shit, our houses are shit, our roads are shit the weather is shit our McDonalds is shit, our shit is shit. Well shit.

@@spectrablaze3760 lol that’s definitely how some interpret it. But I said the roads were small, the winter darkness gave me seasonal depression, McDonald’s is terrible everywhere so that was a joke that I think offended many 😂 but hey, we all know McDonald’s sucks. And I said I didn’t realize there was no a/c and the houses are skinnier and taller with more doors. I said some food was bad but not all. The same goes for America. I’ve had a lot of bad food there, but for those who watch the entire video and read my comments, they see I love England. I think I should be allowed to say things that surprised me when I moved here 3 years ago. But it’s okay, I don’t lose sleep over it and I’m sure no one who got offended did either. It’s a video, nothing life changing lol. I have more positive videos about England coming so I hope they all see those 😂

Can you buy/make screens and put them on the windows?!? Can you buy window AC units there, or not at all?!? Hmmm. So many questions. Lol.

Being from Maine & living in Massachusetts I’m used to that seasonal depression you speak of. You definitely want to up your vitamin D! That’s a must for anyone but especially the more melatonin we have the more we block out so you may be suffering from a lack of vitamin d year round like me. Thanks for sharing your experience! I enjoyed! You have a new subscriber 💖

The roads in Cornwall are tiny and sometimes you can’t even drive down them cos they are so small

Oh wow, really?

I always wanted to move there but I think for me I may have to just keep going there for trips to try to get comfortable and meet people before just packing up and moving there

Only 4 more years until by best friend and I are moving to England (can you tell I’m excited?)

Great video Casia - you have a new subscriber! I was born and raised in England and moved to the US a couple of years ago to be with my American wife, so I can see things from both sides. I totally agree with you about the winters in the UK being brutal. Obviously never ever that cold, but, as you say, it's the drab greyness, rain, wind, compounded by the short days (I think people forget how far North Britain really is) that are an absolute killer to me, and I honestly fall into a depression every December (ruining Christmas every year) and don't really come out of it until I feel the days getting longer in March time. Being in Maryland now, it has been amazing that you get longer days in the Winter, and even though it can be brutally cold at times, the days in Winter tend to be sunny with blue skies, which means you can get out and about without being soaked to the skin. As for the food, I think in the UK you just have to shop around and try out different places to find out where the good places are. In the US you pretty much know what you're going to get, and the market is so competitive that bad places will go out of business. I'm sorry, but I still prefer the more basic food in the UK! Oh, and definitely accompanied by a cup of tea, which drives my wife nuts.

Hi Casia, I totally agree with you regarding the open plan houses and winter months, the lack of open plan is mainly down to house size, remember the Germans nearly bombed us out of existence during WW2 so a building campaign was launched to build as many houses as cheaply and as quickly as possible [with a loan from the US]. I love the UK in summer, driving the country roads, try Cardiff where I am from, since 1985 travelling and living around the globe from Asia, Australia, US, Mexico, never have I found such a pretty city and harmonious cultural mixing pot as my home city of Cardiff in South Wales. [Shirley Bassey & Tom Jones country].

it's not just practical reasons, space, cost, re house design. british people value their privacy. if someone calls to the door, they don't want them to be able to see straight into the interior of the house. we like rooms, with doors, so different people can be occupied in them, with some space and quiet away from others eg watching television

Where are you from? I'm from NY and our winters are pretty much the same, I'm just kind of used to it at this point. I can't detect where your accent is from, tbh, which is why I ask.

I'm moving to York for uni this aaugust and girl I have no idea what to expect. I really really appreciate you!
