Even as a Brit, I had to Google the Cowdenbeath mystery puddle because I hadn't a clue what it meant! It seems to be a Scottish local news story about a mystery puddle that appeared in the town of Cowdenbeath, and a particular councillor who was doggedly determined to discover its cause. Apparently, he initially thought the cause was a leak of waste products from the production of pineapple juice at a local dairy - it transpired that it wasn't.

That space one with the stop motion characters is from this A Grand Day Out - Landing on the Moon - Wallace and Gromit

When I was newly married we rented a place in London and we got cards asking why we had no TV licence. The first one, we wrote on it, Because we don't have a dog. (In those days you needed a licence for a dog). The next one we burnt out all the "o"s in the text. And so on defacing these little cards. We even set out our room to look as though we had removed a telly. Eventually there was a knock on the door, and two gentlemen were outside. "We have no record of a TV licence at this address" "I'll give you three guesses why not" I said. They got it in one. We never had to continue with our charade, sadly. it would have been fun. Incidentally when we did get a television we did pay our licence as we prefer not to watch advertisements the odd times we do watch it.

About the Tesco ad for pubs, when you mentioned that you'd never see something like that in the US. it reminded me of a former colleague, who'd worked at a company in Dublin Ireland, that was taken over by a US company. A few weeks before Christmas, the new owners sent a memo giving the date and venue for the traditional company Christmas dinner. Except ,that year, added to the time, date & location was the notice "We cannot condone alcohol abuse, so consumption of alcohol is strictly prohibited at the event, anyone having consumed alcohol before the event, will not be permitted access and those consuming alcohol at the event will face disciplinary action." So for the event, there was a live stream to the US and several members of management from the US flew in. On the night the management were waiting at the door to meet the staff as they arrived... and they waited, and waited.... it turned out the staff had booked an alternate venue for their own Christmas party. The managers had booked a conference centre, Dj and catering for nearly 200 guests, and less than two dozen (all management) turned up. Apparently the live stream was funny to behold, as the camera showed the empty venue and furious management and awkward looking caterers and Dj.

Great to see someone from USA doing this sort of stuff and taking time to really get to know/understand UK life. Well done mate

Here in the UK, a TV Licence is required to watch any broadcast channel and the BBC's on-demand service.

Hi. The stop motion movie is from a TV show called Wallace, the human, and Gromit, the dog. They love cheese and decided to fly to the moon because there’d be loads of cheese there., the place is made of cheese isn't it? Their shows, and films, have led to a great response in the sales of Wensleydale cheese in the UK. Their films are run by Aardman Animations, a Bristol based company. Their great films are Chicken Run 7 the Curse of the Ware-Rabbit. Great films for all the family, especially the kids. Locally we have a chip shop called “A Fish Called Wanda” in the Rhondda Valley.

The "Price Reducer" is the employee who is putting the reduced price stickers on the near-dated stock.

UK supermarkets have staff who reduce prices, but some people get over enthusiastic. 😁

Towards the end of each day supermarkets reduce the price of food close to its sell by date is reduced. People wait for the stickers to go on and literally fight over the best offers.

1) There are 100 pence in 1 pound (we’ve been decimal since 1971) so yes, equivalent to cents and dollars. Pence is an antique form of the plural pennies, so five pence but one penny. As you said, the supposed promotional offer would cost more than 3 bars bought individually. 2) Yes, the Map Men told you that -cester at the end of (most) place names is just pronounced as -stuh. Doctor Foster rhymes with Gloucester, fester with Leicester etc. The word ‘quay’, a wharf built parallel to the shore, is pronounced like ‘key’ (in Britain and the US!) so Newquay is pronounced ‘NYOO-key’. It’s in Cornwall. Towan is derived from Cornish (Celtic), and means ‘sand dunes’. Points for saying ‘York-shush’ though👌 3) British English spelling differentiates between noun and verb in these words: practice/practise and licence/license. Also offence (noun) but offensive (adjective). So someone licensed to watch TV would have a TV licence. TV aerials are NOT satellite dishes, they’re those old-fashioned looking metal antennae seen on rooftops. 4) Yes, ‘Jack the Ripper’ operated in the Whitechapel area of London. Definitely not Whitehall!

My plan is to have the Stones "Start me up " as my last song as I'm put into the fire. It will either piss some off or laugh, either way I think its funny.

What about Fire by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown? Always thought that one would be good!

Digestive biscuits are so called because they contain arrowroot flour. This was originally marketed as an aid to digestion (it isn't) hence the name.

The quay part of UK place names is pronounced like key. Newquay = Newkey. Torquay = Torkey. Places ending in ster typically lose a few letters in pronunciation. Gloucester = Gloster. Leicester = Lester. Worcester = Wooster. The pronunciation has evolved over the centuries, so we wouldn’t expect outsiders to know that the pronunciation doesn’t match the spelling.

Thank you for saying the majority of them wrong! That was hilarious!

British supermarkets usually have a place, often at the end of an aisle, where food that is close to it's sell by date is placed, massively discounted. There's usually something of a rugby scrum around the area, especially when new items have just been added. :)

My girlfriend thought you were still talking about Rick Astley when you said "He seems like he has a heart of gold. […]This little guy has come to visit me every night for the past 2 weeks" 😂

Tv aerials are what we had before satellite dishes. It took places like the UK & where I live Australia longer to get them so they were still common until the late 90s, early 00s when foxtel came over.

Jack the chipper is in Whitechapel, so was Jack the Ripper...so you were spot on.

"License" is the permission to do something. "Licence" is the documentation or evidence that you have license for that activity/situation.

TV Aerial is what you guys might call an antenna.

That is how you spell licence - in real English 🙂 Your sense of humour is quite different, isn't it. I laughed at most of these, and you didn't seem to get most of them. We have lollipop ladies in Australia (or lollipop men!)

That cake one was long overdue. But unfortunately I think our butterfly and fairy cakes have gone to the baker in the sky.

Such a calming voice.

Price reduction on perishable items that are almost out of date usually happen at about the same time on the same day in UK supermarkets. The price reducers are often hampered in their task by shoppers eager for a bargain. Protective strategies are a silent request for patience. LOL. Cheers.

In British english, licence is a noun, license is a verb

So sweet that you didn't get the Wallace and Gromit one, I think that one is just too British for you. 😂

How did he miss that? Hasn't the company won at least one Oscar?

The other funny thing about the Dachshund on the roof is that while Dachshund means "badger-dog" (Dachs-Hund), it's very nearly "roof-dog": Dach-Hund

"Share with my friends" is in quotes, which likely means they are not going to share at all, as those are delicious snacks

The tescos ad was after the pandemic when pubs were closed. Now Pubs are thriving. They are resilient. As for tv license (spelt correctly) Licence is a noun, license is a verb. Before learning to drive, you apply for a provisional driving licence, but the DVLA must license you to drive. When you install a TV in your home, you must have a TV licence.

Why have you spelled tv license the verb way?

8:37 oh dude I haven’t heard the term “lollipop man” since i was 6!

Hi from Leicester (Lester) 😁 Loving the bus stops

I've heard more people in the UK recently pronouncing "dachshund" as "dashund", This is wrong. German dog bred for chasing badgers, a badger being a "dach" Hund being hound. Anyway, no one here has said it wrong, I am just venting! JJLA got it right and deserves kudos (despite the English place name gaffs)

Aerial is not a satellite dish. Aerial is used to pick up the the Freeview no subscription channels. 81 entertainment, 12 Children's, 6 news 33 radio. If tv is also connected to the internet watch most programs from the previous 7 days. Just by selecting them from the tv guide. Satellite dishes are mostly used for subscription services.
