But it does accept all faiths, and it has got all faiths and atheists. Everybody is accepted, and I just got the most amazing ethos.

A friend of mine from school had an American dad, so I was introduced to the idea of Thanksgiving fairly early through him. My first Thanksgiving meal was 5 years ago when we went to visit some American friends from Boston. We happened to be there in November and they invited us to join with the family. It was an amazing experience! I wasn't keen on the sweet potato casserole but the rest was amazing.

Never had or seen a pumpkin pie in England in my 61 years

No it's not just Public schools but most schools in the UK you dress in a uniform or dress smart and rightly so. Can remember years ago where some schools did away with school uniforms, people were spending ridiculous amounts of money to out do one another especially on Trainers which encouraged bullying for those who couldn't afford it. There was a documentary where a Headmaster took charge of a failing school. The first change he made was insisting on the reintroduction of school Uniforms and take pride in their appearance. It worked and the school including exam results improved dramatically. I notice in the clip that on Henry's tie it's either a Prefect or Head Boy's red badge like the Prefect badge I use to wear. Prefects at our school also had a single red narrow bands sewn on to each cuff of our blazers, Head boy and Head Girl had twobands on each arm. When later working in an Office I always wore a white shirt and tie whilst others didn't bother. Even though I was the Admin Assistant so down the pecking order at the time some times we'd have important visitors. What was funny is the VIP Visitors would often walk into our work area, past my Bosses who didn't dress smart and come straight to me to ask questions and advice. When people have been depressed I've given advice of make the effort to look smart. If you then feel good in yourself people pick up on that positivity.

Every school from infant school to senior school, kids wear a school uniforms, no matter what school you go to a state school or private school.

It’s pretty normal for kids in the UK dress like that for school. Nearly all UK schools have a uniform of some sort.

A lot of people have already mentioned that this is just a regular state school, by the looks of things. But an interesting fact is that in the UK, we call our free schools "state schools" and our paid, private schools "public schools" So if you said "public school" here, the image is posh, privileged sons and daughters of politicians.😂

The only unusual thing about the school is that its single sex. I think it's nominally CofE too.

Most ordinary school students wear uniforms , even in primary schools

I believe it's a pretty normal school. Although it's a boys-only school, which is pretty uncommon now. Those are pretty standard uniforms too. What Americans call elementary schools, our version just have a sweatshirt that colour varies by school, with the school name embroiled at the top left. They''ll have a summer shirt underneath. And gray trousers/pants and black/brown shoes.

You only see that in the most detached private schools in america. If a kid was wearing something like that wed assume his grandpa died and he had to attend a wake.

Of course British school pupils - or Brits and anyone outside the US - have little awareness of the concept of Thanksgiving! Why would they? The US holiday commemorates the Plymouth settlement's first harvest celebration with the local American Indian tribe. What relevance does this have for a high schooler in Rhosllanerchrugog, Rochdale, or Renfrew? 🙄🤔

I am old and never had a thanksgiving sandwitch like that. We had turkey sandwiches , or we had leftover turkey with leftover gravey over rice or mashed potatoes.

We used to have local Harvest Festivals, which is along the same general lines as Thanksgiving, but those have rather fallen by the wayside.

We don't have thanksgiving thankgoodness.

School uniformsare always worn whilst at school Years ago in primary scool we didnt wear uniform, but these days primary scool have a very simplified uniform: either a red.royalblue or green jumper and short sleeve shirt, with the badge of the school on the jumper, grey trousers/skirt.

I just found your video today. JOLLY videos are interesting. I don't know a whole lot about their uniforms I figured it was a private school for boys, like a boarding school of some sort. After watching a few more JOLLY videos, I learned the name of the school, here is a brief mention from the internet: The Fulham Boys School is an English Church of England free school for boys aged 11 to 18. It was founded by a group of Fulham inhabitants and opened in September 2014. Here in SoCal, some public schools here adopted to have a uniform system mainly to keep the children looking equal to each other on campus, although the uniform system is bit more relaxed than how these boys have it, depending on which school you attend, a couple of schools I have seen wear a collared shirt, (Button down or Polo style) with or without a tie, matching slacks, and maybe matching shoes too. I think these kids never had any of what they tried ever until filming this video. I also learned watching these videos is that their food doesn't consist of a lot of flavor and here in America we do like flavor. WE have nearly all those dishes at Thanksgiving. Pecan pies do taste really good, very sweet but it is too rich for my liking nowadays. I enjoyed watching this video reaction!

The uniform is very normal for every school

Here in Bangladesh we have school uniforms.

That was just some desserts or do Americans only eat desserts. Well everything has so much sugar / corn syrup that everything probably counts as a dessert.

oK its a bit simplified State schools are what you call public schools because they are funded by the state (IE taxes etc), Public schools are payed for by members of the public (eg you pay fees to the school out of your pocket ) and are privately owned as such. and private schools are more selective. in the old days private schooling would happen on a wealth estate for the owners children by private teachers, whereas Public schools were for anybody who could afford it, there are videos about this and its sort of complicated. we also have faith schools and academies. And the whole system is different ie how the years are divided up.

Its funny the English had wars over spices and herbs but uses none.

@HistorYEET! | Californian Reacts, I'm from the U.K. but I used to live as a landed immigrant in Canada up until October 1981 and I spent two months or so in your own state, California, between early November 1980 and early January 1981. That being said I know when Thanksgiving is celebrated in both Canada and the U.S.A. because I celebrated both of them in 1980. In Canada it's celebrated on the first Monday of October every year whereas in the U.S.A. it's celebrated on the last Thursday of November each year. The only noticeable difference between those two Thanksgiving Day celebrations that I just mentioned were that the one in Canada had turkey and other meat dishes whereas the one in San Francisco was completely vegetarian and included tofu ( bean curd ) instead of the meat - those bloody Californian hippies were just insufferable at that time. Additionally out of the dishes that were shown in this video that you watched the only one that I've ever tried and liked is pecan pie....pumpkin pie is vile as far as I'm concerned and I've never tried sweet potato pie so I can't really pass judgement on it. My favourite pies of yours are Mississippi Mud pie, chocolate cream pie, banana cream pie, key lime pie and coconut cream pie. My all-time favourite of all dessert pies is lemon meringue probably because of the mixture of acidity from the lemons and the sweetness of the meringue topping. Another distinction that I have is that I've also eaten Soul Food because where I used to live in Canada my roommate was dating a black American soul band manager and both he and the entire band were from Queens in New York and we used to have it every Sunday that he and his band were staying with us in Edmonton - it was one of our little traditions to let them do the cooking on that day. Because of that I'm obviously familiar with real southern fried chicken ( definitely NOT KFC - Kentucky Fried Cardboard ), re-fried beans, black-eyed peas, collard greens, corn pone ( cornbread ) etc. By the way, here in the U.K. Caribbean food is very popular amongst some of our communities and their cuisine includes curried goat, rice and peas, baked plantain which are like huge very hard bananas and they have to be cooked prior to them being eaten otherwise they're completely inedible, other delicacies from the West Indies are also available here. I'd defy any of you Americans to say that we don't have a variety of foods in this country because we don't and we're spoilt for choice when it comes to what we want to eat every day of our lives.

Too bad they didn't get to try the main dishes most often served.

Dark brown beef gravy. Turkey gravy is so "beautiful" and delicious, lol. I like the gravy even more than the meat, lol. Where are the essential of the meal? Why the leftover sandwich when you haven't even tried the standard ingredients of it. All the desserts? They should have tasted last. In 50 years we have never had the sweet potato and marshmallow casserole on our table. Four generations of our family don't like it. It's a hard pass and also includes green bean casserole.

@@emmef7970 That's because we just don't DO cream-based "gravies" in the UK. If it's cream-based, we call it a sauce (French culinary influence). I wouldn't take too much you read on the internet at face value -- it's largely inexperienced people parading stereotypes around as "fact." Like the "the spice thing," for example . . . . [Cracks neck, sips tea] >AHEM That "joke" about "Conquered the world to get spices, never use any of them"? Yeah, only the really rich people and the gentry got those. Nobody else could afford them, so why would they be traditional ingredients? Best we could do was wild garlic and some local herbs. Then, after 1066, the Norman invaders made it illegal on pain of death for the common folk to take any good game, fowl, or fish from the land and rivers, so for a good 800 years or so, everyone subsisted on mostly vegetable stews with some bread, or pies, some eggs and dairy, and maybe a little meat on rare special holiday occasions . . . but still no spices, because they still couldn't afford them. We had to find creative ways of surviving, which is the only reason why the boiled, heavily-processed stems of a poisonous plant (rhubarb) in a pie crust was ever a thing in the first place. Then, just after we were getting into a good stride after the Pure Food Law was passed in 1875 to stop unscrupulous Industrial Revolution food manufacturers from adding sawdust and powdered minerals to the food to boost their profit margins, we had two World Wars in rapid succession with a Great Depression in between, which wreaked absolute havoc on our food chain, way worse than what happened in the USA. Wartime rationing didn't end until 1954, TEN YEARS after the war in Europe had finished. So for a few decades, the most reliable food was imported canned-ration-style stuff, like baked beans and tinned spaghetti. Whole generations got used to subsisting on that. It became comfort food to millions. And they passed that predilection down to their descendants. Modern British food started to get WAY better in the 1980s, and it's excellent, today. If you have nothing but bad food in the UK these days, that's all on you eating in the wrong places. And mocking British food because of what it was like in our past is just mocking the poor, downtrodden, and war-torn, from a position of modern wealth, abundance, and privilege. And if you're going to do that, you might as well mock other cultural foods like collard greens and grits, too. And Thanksgiving dinner, too. Roast poultry? Boiled green beans? Gravy? Stuffing? Boring. Traditional. Bland. ENGLISH. And finally, you only have to look at modern restaurants and takeaways in Britain to see that we love varied and spicy food. It's just that now, we can afford to have them. (I make my own Cajun spice blend and make a mean jambalaya, for example.)

I have seen this video before. I have had pumpkin pie before, it was delicious, but I was horrified that they put that dreadful squirty aerosol cream on it. Is this normal in America? Double whipped cream or clotted cream would be much better. What an insult to the pie. Incidentally, if Americans eat turkey etc for Thanksgiving, what do they eat at Christmas?
