In American homes located in the Snow Belt, there is almost always a "mud room"- a hallway where you can enter via an out door, remove wet and muddy shoes, etc, and then open another interior door to reach the house proper. Prevents the loss of heat in the winter and keeps the floor clean.

But if you're in a pub and you asked for the bathroom it hits the ear weirdly, because you can't have a bath in a pub. if you're out usually the phrase would be something like '_could you point me in the direction of the ladies_'' or _gents_ as appropriate.

I read this in a British accent

When I was in the Army in the 80's, it was a common to give a new career Army couple a transformer to convert 220 to 110. And those transformers got a lot of use! Some other 'Euro' differences... -the door latches were often very different from the standard US doorknob. Often they were L-shaped levers or much flimsier door external locks than we were used to. -most European homes have *much* less space than an equivalent US home. There are a great many clever storage solutions that are de riguer in Europe. -I rarely encountered a separate closet space for clothing in Europe. Most often, your hanging clothes were on an open rack usually placed behind the room door. -I saw less use of window screens or screen doors in Europe than in the US, where screens are over almost every open point.

@Kempster_K

Yes the doorknobs!!! and the toilets I remember being different when I went to Germany in the early 2000s but I can't remember exactly... buttons instead of little levers maybe?

US home Generally coffee instead of tea, although if tea it would be generally default sweet ice tea. Unless hot tea was requested or we expected to use hot tea biased on our guests nationality. The laundry is in a room that also contains the hot water heater and main house breaker. Often the intake of a central air system will also share a wall with the "utility room" but the intake vents will not be in this room. The bath room is all inclusive with toilet and wall outlets as well as regular light switches. Thanks to Nikola Tesla and his (AC) electricity and the efficiency of our breaker systems this is still surprisingly safe. All most all outlets are 3 pin with +/- on top and a redundant ground on the bottom. The optional ground is not represented in all outlets and most common plugs on devices only have the 2 pins +/- although because these are 110 (AC) outlets many cords are not keyed but some times one blade will be bigger than another which prevents the device being plugged in backwards or reverse to current something becoming more common in the face of rechargeable (DC) devices that require an adapter. Almost every home is heated and cooled generally by a central air or (forced air) system though many Americans are converting to a mini split system that maintains individual room temperatures as it is more efficient. This is because From sea to shining sea it is not uncommon for daytime/nighttime teps to vary as much as 10-20 degrees Fahrenheit (have fun with the conversion). Not to mention the extreme seasonal differentials where its not uncommon for temps to range from comfortable and sunny to snow & sleet in just a day. Also, we generally have screened windows because of mosquitoes who could moon light as pigeons, and other fun creatures who often sting, and bite.

In answer to your questions in America, the toilet the basin, the bathtub shower all are in the same room and we just call it the bathroom The basin has a single faucet that you turn left or right, depending on what temperature you want the water or in the middle if you want it the temperature is mixed In the bathrooms, we do have outlets where you can plug all manner of things into the wall socket We have separate utility rooms which have the washer, the dryer, often a water softener, and lots of shelves We also often have mud rooms, so when you come in through the back door, you’re not tracking mud or dirt all over the house you can take off your heavy boots and leave them there in that room Our kitchens are much larger and we do have electric tea kettle’s all across the country, which will get a quart of water. Boiled in probably two minutes. We also have forced air central heating and cooling so we don’t have radiators and we rarely have boilers The way the electrical outlets are set up is a duplex socket every 8 feet along the wall in the living area so in the typical bedroom that’s 12’ x 12’. You’re going to have at least eight places to plug things in which means we don’t use extension cords very often which means we can keep the cords shorter fewer accidents nobody tripping over cords. Every window will also have screens on it to keep out the bugs

Years ago, you would very often find a house where the toilet was in its own little room WITHOUT a basin (I call it basin in the bathroom and sink in the kitchen - don't know why; perhaps because the kitchen sink is normally large so an almost different object) where you could wash your hands. That meant that you had to open the toilet door and then go into the bathroom to wash your hands. TWO doors with possibly germ-laden hands on the handles (depending on what you did in the toilet). You still see houses like this if they haven't been modernised. Gross! But in those days it was the norm and we thought nothing of it.

***** In the older houses the water for upstairs is stored in a tank in the roof so you won't want to drink that either. Originally they were metal tanks but are now plastic. The only water you'd want to drink is the downstairs cold water. Given the hot water is meant to be 60C or higher, it should be safe but better not to risk it.

@bunnywarren

7 жыл бұрын

***** This is all down to having a tank to store the hot water. There are actually two tanks in the roof. One small one is used to provide water to the central heating system and the other larger provides cold water that goes into the hot water system that you then use. This larger one is also often used to provide water to the cold taps upstairs. These both provide a head of water to keep the systems pressurised. We do have water towers because you still need to fill these tanks so the pressure must be enough for that. Areas with lower pressure would benefit and there are probably historical reasons for it that modern design doesn't need. Combi-boilers, that heat water on demand, do away with the hot and two cold water tanks. Combo-Boilers are quite new though so anything early 80s or before used these tanks. Often people moving into these houses rip out the older boiler and tanks and replace with the combo-boiler. The downside is that the boilers are more expensive and more complex so tend to breakdown more quickly.

You also don't need to put stamps on your letters in England. They're delivered for free by the owls from Hogwarts during the summer holidays. The Queen delivers parcels though as they're too heavy for owls. I think.

I have a Victorian house but modern plumbing and chose mixer taps in all bathrooms and en-suites except the attic, which has original features, so I've replaced like-for-like. To fill the kettle or get a drink, use cold tap, to get instant hot water use hot tap, to get the right temperature to wash in, turn both taps on and adjust the plug to obtain the correct fill/flow to the bowl.

Although this being a typically London based house, it's still pretty accurate for some homes. I live just outside London (the underground doesn't even reach here) and after having an extension in the early 2000's, we've managed to squeeze two bathrooms (both with baths, sinks and toilets), an open plan living room, dining room and kitchen, a study (of sorts), an entrance hallway (where the stairs are), three bedrooms (although mine *really* should be bigger considering the size of the others.) and a storage room. (Also, the washing machine used to be in the kitchen, we didn't have a tumble dryer, the "study" was mine and my sister's bedroom and the entrance hall used to be our parents room while the storage room is the old entrance.)

Hi, I'm Brazilian currently living in Sweden. I lived in Cambridge (UK) a few years ago. The outlets in the house didn't have an ON-OFF switch. The loo and the bathroom/shower were in the same room but yeah, I've seen separate rooms. There was a boiler but there were not two separate taps for cold and warm water. There are a few similarities to the Swedish home though.

The washing machine is also where it is because of differences in British plumbing. My house is from the 1920s and you get hot water from an Immersion heater from water that came from our water tank which also supplied the toilet flush with water.

We also have three-prong outlets throughout the house, with one receptacle as the ground, so that all outlets are grounded, except that table lamps and most small appliances only have two-pronged cord plugs.

There's enter videos worth of differences in building and electricity regs. Your wooden houses with less earth bonding and rat tail joints (wires just sort of twisted together and explicitly baned in the UK) sound like risky fire hazards to a sparky over here. Honestly a lot of it is just old and dates back to when electrical goods were a bit more temperamental.

I live in the US and grew up with a bathroom sink with separate hot and cold taps, we always just filled up the sink with a mixture of hot and cold water and used it that way. I grew up in a time when air conditioning was just being introduced here, it was common to do stuff like lie outside on the front porch roof to try to cool off in the summer. Especially since overnight there are nights it don't get below 80 degrees Fahrenheit (that's 27 degrees Celsius). And then in the winter, you always hoped the furnace would kick on in the mornings, otherwise it was freezing cold.

My husband was a career soldier in the US Army and in 1965, just before my 22nd birthday we were sent to England to Menwith Hill in what was then the West Riding of Yorkshire. We had to take a flat in Harrogate until on base quarters were available. I remember all the things she's described plus a few she left out. Since Yorkshire usually had a shower or 2 each day our kitchen had a large wooden rack near the ceiling which had pulleys so it could be lowered to hang the laundry on and then raised to be out of the way while they dried. That's something I wish I had for things that have to be line dried. Back then central heat was nearly non-existent, we had a nice gas heater in the fireplace in the living room and we put our rented TV in there so we'd be warm while watching it. There was a coke stove in the kitchen and my husband had to get a fire going every morning before he left for work, I only managed to get a fire started once though he tried to teach my almost every day. When I asked why they didn't have central heat the usual answer in Yorkshire was "It dies out your blood." Our flat was on the ground floor, what we would call the 2nd floor is the first floor in Britain. There were meters in the basement for our gas & electricity and they took shillings and sixpence coins (they were still on the old monetary system then and I still miss it when we go there). The basement was just stone walls and a dirt floor and it wasn't so bad when the gas meter ran out because you could turn on the light and see to get down there. I learned to keep a torch (a flashlight) close by so I could go down and put money in the meter. The experience was worth the temporary hardship, though I complained constantly and I missed the flat when we moved into quarters. We lived in the flat from March till September during the coldest summer they had experienced in many years and my biggest complaint was the extremely high ceilings that trapped all the heat up there. St. Mary's C of E Church was very conveniently just across from the back gate.The bus stop was just across the street, though my friends and I usually walked to town if the weather was dry. The best thing of all was that Betty's Cafe was only a 10 minute walk from that back gate. We go back to England often and it's changed. It's become too Americanized, when you go into an ASDA store you know immediately that you are in a WalMart, Safeway is also there and all the fast food chains we have here. What I loved about England was that even though we spoke the same language (though there was the Yorkshire dialect spoken by the farmers and working people that I mastered back then, don't ask me now) England was a foreign country that was accessible to me. Even London was still. a bit behind the times because they were still recovering from WW2. At least I got to know and love England before it became so Americanized. I'd love to go back to the way it was with one exception. I want the pubs and restaurants to have good size parking lots, but then when we go there now friends drive or we take a taxi.

I'm a student of english and history from the new world (Costa Rica), and my favorite nations are UK and Germany, I enjoy see this kind of things, it's amazing how the culture and the geographic location can change until the designs in houses. your channel is splendid.
