We do that with some things here in the US, but it's usually "Demographic Based," like people who didn't grow up playing video games, calling every console a Nintendo. Down in some southern states, instead of saying soda or pop, they just call all softdrinks Coke. Those are the only two examples I can think of off the top of my head, but my guess is that it probably has something to do with the abundance of choice we have over here. Hoovers, for example, idk for sure, but I'm guessing that is like "The Brand" over there? Whereas here in the States, we use the generic word Vacuum, due to the fact that there are SOOOO many brands. 100% I would not know what a hoover is, if my Grandmother didn't have one when I was growing up. Here, I could probably knock on each neighbor's door and ask, "What kind of Vacuum do you have?" And get very few repeating answers... I think we have 3 different brands of Vacuums in this house alone, lol 😅 We use a lot of "Catchall Words" that represent entire categories instead of a specific brand.

The House of Lords have actually protected the people FROM their government’s law on numerous occasions by amending legislation that could be unfair or even unlawful. There are many “Lords” in there now who have been politicians and have been placed in there (by their political party) as they retire, nothing to do with Royalty more political nepotism, also there are successful businessmen, doctors and sportsmen amongst the members. At least it’s better than having our public voting in a similar manner to how they vote our MPs. If they did we’d likely have lost a lot of rights in the last 14 years of Conservative rule.

I never knew that! Thanks for sharing.

We have frozen pasty’s in are grocery stores here in Wisconsin. In America the miners here would take them down in the mines for their dinner. They are very well known in the USA for decades now.

Pasty: meat potato rutebega and lard baked in a crust. It was a favorite of old miners. The pasty would be wrapped up in cloth, and was still warm when the minor ate lunch. High in protein and carbs, and cheap to make.

I agree wholeheartedly with all of your sentiments about Mr. Blobby I also deeply dislike the way that creature walks and moves and interacts with it's environment I really think in spite of the fact that I am a grown-ass woman, I might actually have nightmares about Mr. Blobby

The house of lords is needed, not in the format that it is, we have the house of commons, which want to pass laws, the people in the house of lords, are specialist, in law, ex judges, solictiors and the likes, what they do, when the governement wants to pass a law, it goes to the house of lords, where they look over the legal stuff, will it work, are there things maybe wrong, and not within the law, its then goes back to the government, to be adjusted, them back to the house of lords, for fianl review, if this was not done, law suit law suit, but us british are not happy the way they get in, but very much needed, for expert stuff and knowledge

@@mubbles1066 I’ve never heard any of my family call them that…but it’s possible. I think the term “hand pie” is used more often in the Deep South. My mom got a craving for them a few years back (and great grandma passed years ago), so she attempted to make them, and it was nearly impossible to find suet in our local stores. Finally got some from a butchers shop. So we tried making them, and they looked right, but they were hard as rocks and completely inedible. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 As far as what we call them in the US, that may be down to the regional vernacular. Folks from the south may have a different name for an object than someone from the east coast. Just like with fruit-filled pastries…we might call them empanadas, fried pies, fruit pies, turnovers or hand pies. But ultimately, they are all flaky pastry crusts filled with gooey fruit and sugar, and then fried. But all of the old women in my family make/made both their sweet fried pies and their meat pies in the same half moon shape as the pasty.

You have jumped to the wrong conclusion based upon a name “The House of Lords” is a traditional name for the place but it now has appointed members ex politicians, doctors, lawyers, experts and some peers all of whom do not make laws but simply ensure that any presented legislation is not going to do harm, they make sure it has covered all the bases and if they choose to suggest amendments it can be sent back for review after which it comes back they can only delay but cannot stop the government from passing the laws decided by the representatives of the people.

Most are now life peers not hereditary , after a bit of digging there’s 426 seats in the House of Lords, 26 are the Lords Spiritual arch-bishops and bishops from the Church of England and only 91 hereditary seats of which 76 are ‘elected ‘seats voted by the other hereditary peers. The entitlement of hereditary peers to sit and vote in the House of Lords was abolished in 1999.

Pasties have meat and vegetables some have just meat with a gravy incase in pastry, essentially it's like a folded pie and very delicious, you can take them where ever you go, you can take them to work for you lunch break, on a day out etc. Onions are not poison, but it won't be onion powder in the pasties it will be actual fresh onions.

I love hearing that you keeping up appearances. Such a great show.

The house of lords isn't like hereditary nobles anymore, it's more people given the title lord or lady for their government or charity work, unlike a medal though this is a paid legal position that basically reads all the laws parliament proposes and sends them back with a list of suggested alterations. It's like proofreading laws.

Can't have seen many British shows if you think Keeping Up Appearances is the best thing ever. Its ok but hardly the best. Only Fools and Horses, Allo Allo, Red Dwarf, Black Adder. The list go on, on shows that were way better. You should probably check out One Foot in the Grave as well. Its about a grumpy old man who keeps having unfortunate things happen to him.

Little chef turned in to little thief when the prices shot up that's why it died

Mr bloppy was originally a prank for celebrities, 8nto thinking they were making a kids show. His design and voice is purposely ment to look and sound horrible and offputting and scary. The original show only lasted so long before the celebrities caught on. And so they created a different show that was not a prank and was a real kids show. Because ironically, kids actually liked him. Theres actually a video on youtube covering the rise and fall of Mr Blobby
