    I think it’s the radical and loud few in each of our respective countries that spurs this “rivalry” between us. English and American people seem to be constantly fighting on social media and trying to compete to see who’s got a smarter/less violent and just overall better population. Patriotism has kinda gone overboard for some English speaking countries, causing resentment. I think more people should try to understand the other side more, and stop assuming that the entire populations of other countries are accurately represented by the angry online ppl. But Ofc… brits on-top ✌️😂

    I’ve driven quite a lot in the US too. We once hired a car and went from Kissimmee to Miami Beach and it took ages but was definitely worth it to see the art deco houses etc. We also went from Washington DC to relatives in Virginia and to the outer banks and that was on Labour Day weekend so quite busy. I don’t mind driving on the other side or the traffic etc but I did struggle a bit with the distances, particularly as I’m vegetarian so getting veggie food in the US to avoid driving fatigue was not easy! A Caesar salad and a coke is not really enough to stay fuelled for long interstate driving!

    While pubs close at 11pm, in a city, it's likely that there will be a nearby night club or bar that could be open much later. They generally cater to a different type of clientele, and there may be age limits for entry, unlike pubs, which are generally more casual, and frequently family-oriented.

    You don't need an International Driving License to drive here. You can drive on a foreign Driving License in the UK for one year following the date of your arrival. And, frankly, International Driving Licenses are not really a "Thing" here any more, we haven't recognised them for many, many years. 🙂 As for looking right, the last time I was in London I saw one tourist get walloped by a taxi that he stepped out in front of whilst looking left. Fortunately the taxi was only going at about 5 mph so he was just bruised. When we heard him screaming and cursing it was immediately obvious where he came from. Clue: South of Canada and North of Mexico. 😉 We don't have private beaches in the mainland UK apart from those on which our Ministry of Defence conducts its activities. Which is common sense really. 💥💥💥 Wandering off from someone who is in a queue then coming back to them is perfectly acceptable. 👍

    One observation when driving here in the UK.. when you are changing gear or adjusting the air con etc, you do with your left hand correct? That leaves your right hand controlling the steering correct? 90% of people are right handed so your dominant hand controls the car while the secondary tasks are completed with the left. If someone stepped out on you whilst changing gear for instance and you needed to swerve... which hand would you rather have on the steering wheel at the time??? UK making sense yet again ❤

I wanted to get to work on time and to get home as soon as I could. Simple as that.

    The Sunday closing thing has its origins in Christianity. However, today I think Sunday closing mostly still exists for work/life balance. We are actually now quite a non religious country but we are historically less secular than the US so a lot of our laws and traditions have Christian origins.

The other major diffenence in the sequence of our Traffic Intersection Lights, our light secquence is Red, Red and Amber then they go out and Green replaces them.

Respectful of the country in which you are, you have nice manners and genuinely want to know more about the UK. I've loved these vlogs. And don't worry about etiquette, some of the UK population don't have manners. You two are doing just fine. I live with a man who is super punctual, if he says he's going to be somewhere, he's there at least 10/15 minutes before. I've always been a bit more 'free and easy' with times. However, now I always ask him if it's a 'have to be there' time or a 'nice to be there' time. A 'have to be' and I make sure I'm in good time. A 'nice to be' and I'm not quite as stressed. I do recall going on a sunrise ballon trip in Florida, and the guy was very much you must be on time at the meeting place. As he said, 'the sun aint gonna stop rising because you ain't there and we WILL go without you' He was not joking, we had two people that weren't there on time, we left without them.

All these things also apply in other parts of the UK like Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland too and not just in England.

You'll only struggle when you're alone on the road and your focus isn't complete. But you will relax into it with enough practice, and it won't take as long as you think.

    Roughly 35% of the world's population drive on the left side of the road. Most of the countries that were former British colonies and/or dominions continued to drive on the left, including India which is.....1.4 billion people! Countries that drive on the left: Asia - India, Bangladesh, Brunei, Hong Kong, Bhutan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, East Timor, Japan, and Thailand. Africa - Kenya, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Botswana, Malawi, Namibia, Zambia, Swaziland, Uganda, Tanzania, Mozambique, and Mauritius. Australia and Oceania - Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Pitcairn Islands, Kiribati, Tuvalu, Samoa, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, and the Solomon Islands. Europe - UK, Ireland, Malta, and Cyprus. West Indies - Pretty much all of the Caribbean islands drive on the left, including (ironically!) the US Virgin Islands. Most Brits can comfortably drive on either the left or right side of the road because of our proximity to continental Europe.

    You guys need to cut yourself some slack. There is definitely a sense of etiquette in the UK, but we wouldnt expect you to get it. Dont be loud, dont be obnoxious, and observe the queue. You wont go far wrong. If you do make a 'mistake', then just act graciously. You will get much more respect than if you just got it right in the first place. There is something very endearing about you two. You seem to genuinely love the UK, and want to find out everything you can. I almost worry that we should all get together and guide you across the country! I live in Northumberland, just a couple of miles from Hadrians Wall. There are also over 70 castles in Northumberland, some very ruinous and some quite grand. For over 400 years, this was an active border between England and Scotland and the castles are the scar tissue of those times. It is a stunningly beautiful county, with 70 miles of unbelievably golden beaches. Its definitely worth a visit. I have lived all over the UK: London, Edinburgh, Cornwall and now I have returned to where I was born. I also spent a couple of years running a pub on a remote island: Lundy, in the Atlantic /Bristol channel. Just come back, breathe deeply and slowly, the UK will do the rest.

    I was in the UK forces and many time we drove in other countries like W Germany & France,we were not taught but get on with it,we did not have a problem and we were driving righthand drive vehicles on the right side of the road.What is a problem is the UK vehicles but not all have a CLUTCH pedal to change gear,so for the US visitor has to drive on the left with righthand steering wheel using a clutch to change gear.It's really not to hard and you get used to it meeting our roundabouts.All I can say is to those comming to the UK try and see if you can at least drive a righthanded car in your country but on spare land driving to the left as a test,it will give you some minor training to get you started,the gearbox might be a slight problem but you will get the hang of it the more you use it.Villages and narrow roads to you will test you and you will have to pass other vehcles too.Look on the internet to find a driving simulator available if it can change a lefthand drive to the right and have a gearbox lever to use.I know i'm not giving you the advice you want and may just visit us anyway and get on with it to drive,I had to like many in our forces,the only training was the traffic signs/speed signs,traffic lights etc and then a test you had to pass.

    Yes it’s very easy to switch over between say driving across France and the UK, You’ll get used to it though sometimes people initially clip the kerb a bit, particularly if sat the other way over too, as I guess your brain is not so used to judging space on the other side while driving or maybe people over compensate too. Personally, I’m fine drive left/right side of road and with RHD or LHD cars.

    Driving on the left-hand side, apart from having historical significance, has been proved to be far safer than the "wrong" side of the road. And, incidentally, over 70 countries drive on the left, including large population countries like Japan and India, it's not just the UK! (BTW, there is no such thing as "British English", just English) (You two sound just right, but it seems to me that a lot of US citizens need to learn more manners, and, no, we're not weird, just civilized).(A simple trick when being hassled in a queue, just step back on their toes and say, oh! sorry.
