Taps. What you are unaware of, and I suppose why would you be, is that millions of homes in the UK DO have so called "mixer" taps which allow you to regulate the water temperature of the water. It's just that there are still many homes with individual hot and cold taps. But even in those houses there is normally a plug which you can insert in the plughole which allows you to mix the water from both taps to the temperature you want. So my question is, why don't you use a plug? If you don't have a plug they are easy to get hold of (try a hardware store like B & Q).

There are major differences between UK and North American (Both Canada and US) Electrical Systems The British uses 50 Hz frequency while the electrical power in North America is 60 Hz. The British Plugs have built-in fuses. UK Earth Connection = Grounding/ground in North American. GFCI circuits required for Damp locations such as kitchen counters/bathrooms/basements commonly found in North America are quite different than in Britain. North American GFCI will trip with 5 milli-amps. 30 milliamps is the amount current that causes ones' heart to stop beating(a fatality). The North American one will trip so I would certainly not want to Use a hair dryer in a British Bathroom. a Typical hair dryer draws over 1200 watts of power or 5 amps (240V UK Voltage) or over 10 amps in North American (120 V). If you mishandle electricity you can die. The Shaver Outlet found commonly in European Bathrooms are wired with very limited power output. Anything that draws more than 30 Watts(Shavers/Ipads) and you are pushing the envelope with electrical safety.... As for Separate Dryers, Not common in the UK. many British homes have Ring Circuits and the max capacity is around 32 amps. Ring Circuits was developed to save on copper use (influence of WW2) In the US residential cloth Dryers come in two variants. Gas Heated with Electrical Tumbler(110V) or Pure Electric that runs with 240 V(30 Amps) or more than 6000 Watts. The Average US home 1500 Square Feet will have 100 Amps with many having 200 amp service. see video below for of British Electrical system. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZIZnrsGnprG2Zrw.html

Nobody knows the order at table thing, but Brits are good at hiding confusion. They just watch what others do. For us, being Interrupted during a meal is a terrible insult. The waiting staff would get no tip at all if they did that. If a waiter tried to rush me, I would just walk out. If you ask for ice, you will get it. By the way, our bacon is much nicer than yours and we don't overcook ours. Three flights of stairs would take you to the third floor. We used to have drinking fountains, but drunks kept urinating in them, so they were removed for hygiene. When I was a kid, there were a lot of them. If you skip paying for the TV licence you cannot watch anything from the BBC, live or not. If you watch things without ads, you are watching BBC channels. The fines are high.

Oh alright! Good to know, we can pass that on to our letting agency

Because we both speak English - more or less, Americans seem to have difficulty accepting the simple fact the the US and UK are different countries - believe it or not, the UK is not the 51st State of the US. The two countries have different laws and customs, different ways of doing things. It’s 250 years since the two countries had any real connection, that’s a quarter of a millennium,(remember that it’s only 2 millennia since Christ is said to have walked the earth) and a lot has changed since then. So why is it worth remarking that there are things here that you don’t understand ? Would you be making a video about how surprisingly different for example, Turkey or Indonesia are from the US ? I doubt it.

No air con- open the windows. Most of the UK does not have biting insects and a few spiders never hurt anyone. Screens would cut out light, are ugly and are difficult to clean.

The reason we don't have sockets in bathrooms is because our voltage is higher than in the states. If you get a 240v shock from a hair dryer in the bathroom it would probably kill you. Or give you curly hair.

That switch and plug sockets next to the sink are in violation of build regulations. They're too close to the sink. They should be a minimum of 30cm horizontally away from the sink, preferably even further. Plugs in the kitchen are not commonly used for handheld body use appliances, such as hairdryers or straighteners. Also, the kitchen is not primarily a water-based and wet room. The bathroom is literally all water-based and wet. Plus, in the kitchen you yourself are not wet. In the bathroom, you are very wet. You being wet in a wet room greatly increases the intensity of electric shock injury you could receive, compared to if you're dry and in a dry room. Voltage in the UK is twice what it is in the US. You have a much greater chance of dying from electric shock in the UK.

Addendum. I've just noticed you also have a microwave plugged in literally right next to your sink. You guys are taking a massive risk with electrical safety and electrical fire safety there. if water were to get into the electrical components of that microwave or plug while its operating. Again electricity in the UK has twice the voltage and current of electricity in the US, and so is twice as dangerous.

You can always hang your clothes up in an airing cupboard or on a clothes rack in front of a radiator. Not having dryers is also about being energy conscious. It’s seen as a waste of energy. UK electricity runs on a higher voltage, and the danger in the bathroom is about being wet and touching electric appliances. You have to remember America is obviously so much bigger and the towns, places, roads are all so much more modern and designed to fit in and around driving. Whereas it’s almost the opposite in the UK. Thanks for the video. Very interesting.

​@@AroundtheWorldandBeck Old habits die hard! It's what we're used to - some new builds will have mixers. It's down entirely to the builders on what taps are installed.

For the food, general rule is read the menu it will tell you to order at the bar or not! Also if the table you sit at has a number on it you usually have to order at the bar. If it’s a real restaurant with table service they will seat you when you enter not just pub food place which isn’t a restaurant.

Order lemonade and get a sprite? I'm nearly 60 and that has NEVER happened to me!

Parking: our towns were built hundreds of years before cars. They were wide enough for horses. How would you widen existing town roads? You’d have to demolish the buildings on one side of the road to widen it. No no. We keep our buildings and for our cars around them.

I just don't get your thinking on air conditioning. The heating season most places in the UK is established as 40 weeks. That is, you don't need heating in the 12 weeks of June, July and August. The average minimum/maximum temperatures for Oxfordshire are: June 52/66, July 56/70 and August 56/69. Rarely is there a heatwave to go a lot higher than this. I bought a mobile air con. unit after a short heatwave about 15 years ago (northwest England). The next time I used it again was five years later. Flying insects are never a problem in most of the UK. (Perhaps midges in Scotland might be the exception.) I get the odd bee flying in but leaving the window open he eventually finds his own way out.

A lot of people still get ice in their drinks but people have figured out if you ask for no ice then you gut more juice in your glass/ cup.

In a middle class house you would have a vanity mirror in the bedroom - so power would be available there. In an upper class house you could have a "dressing room". In basic accomodation there wouldn't be a specific location, just a hand mirror and wherever you can find power and space... It could even be the kitchen.

The kitchen has work surfaces on which to stand electrical goods. The bathroom doesn’t have the work surfaces. That is why electrical outlets are in kitchens, but near water, and not in bathrooms.

The hot water comes from a tank and so it’s not fresh enough to drink. The cold water comes directly from the mains and is therefore potable.

Hot water used to come from a tank in the attic. So could contaminate drinking water. Hence a separate tap. But most modern houses with combiboilers can have mixer taps. I’ve never lived in a house with separate hot and cold taps. My washing machine has always been a combined washer driver. No need for a separate machine. I’ve got to say I’ve never seen taps that close to a kitchen sink. That doesn’t seem sensible. You can get air conditioning if you want. My father had it in his house. Here in town we don’t get many bugs. So don’t need bug screens. Believe me, there are lots of take away options here in Manchester. But going out to eat isn’t as common as in some other countries, so we often take our time to enjoy the experience and company. Normally it’s good service to ask if you want ice or not. It’s not a tax to watch TV, it’s a license instead. Unlike USA, most of our towns pre-date the car. Plus locals often walk rather than drive everywhere.

Order at the bar or table service? If you’re in a traditional pub you’ll be expected to order your food and drinks at the bar. If it’s a Gastro Pub with a separate restaurant area or reserved seating tables for food and you’ve booked a table or have been shown to a table by the serving staff, then you can order your food and drinks at your table.

With regards to hot and cold taps, most modern boilers allow you to set the temperature of the hot water system. Don't set it at boiling hot, set it to a lower level, bath or shower temperature, 66 degrees, then you don't scald your hands, and it uses less energy giving you lower energy bills.

Interesting video, American and Canadian homes have usable basements to put the washer and dryer in and hang laundry, our homes rarely have basements, it was common to have an airer/drying rack on the kitchen ceiling that used a pulley to lower and raise, used in the winter.

Yeah, we’ve noticed the lack of basements as well. We kind of like not having to mess with them here. Alaytra grew up with her parents basement flooding quite often. We’ll take a lack of dryers over a flooded basement any day!!

What you have to remember is that most of the towns were there hundreds of years before cars were invented, so parking wasn't baked in when they were built!

In liverpool there are lots of old drinking fountains around the city, made of stone usually built into walls. Sadly they are no longer working.

It's high voltage electricity in UK so you don't want any damp getting into the sockets.

Hot and cold taps? Put the plug in and don't waste water. simple for hundreds of years people in the UK have managed without tumble dryers and have hung their clothes outside on the washing line to dry somehow they managed i'm sure you can most houses built up to probably the 1970s nineteen 80s will not have built in wardrobes or closets as you call them. These people would buy wardrobe of the size that they can get in their room and that they need to store their clothes in. Air conditioning is hardly used in domestic buildings but are used in a lot of Office spaces. You spotted that we only really have two weeks a year that that's perhaps too hot but also as you spotted you can open your windows and most modern windows by rotating the handle to point up the window will hinge at the base of the window and tilt this prevents cats from getting in but does allow air to escape and ventilation. As far as insects go we don't really have a problem with flying insects in the UK Only in certain rural areas this might be the case. In the UK there is such a thing called lemonade we also have Sprite but we also have products called lemonade. if you go to any supermarket or corner store you will see bottles of things labelled as lemonade. here in the UK we know what we mean by when we say lemonade . The fact that it wasn't what you were expecting is, and I put this politely, your fault. You can of course order lemon juice Or lemon squash. as you have said you are in a foreign land.. Don't know how to Order food in a pub or restaurant? ask someone. that's what I do if I am unsure and I live in the UK. want more choice for food outlets ? Then Move to a bigger town or city. Or as you rightly say explore the opportunities for making it yourself it usually tastes better. So our eating out culture is different from what you're used to back in the states. But as you have Already stated you are in a different country which has a different culture. Not really sure why this is a surprise. I don't know a single restaurant or place to eat where you can't have ice in your drink. And almost all retail outlets of drinks there is a portion or space or shelf that is refrigerated that has drinks in so they are cool even if there isn't any ice. don't don't really know what you're talking about. but that might be my ignorance. Yes you are right there are almost no drinking fountains in public areas. One wonders how the millions upon millions of British inhabitants have managed over the thousands of years. at least 25 countries drive on the same side of the road as we do. most of the US was built around the use of the car which is why your public Transport infrastructure is so poor and that you really need a car to get around. Almost all of our villages towns and countries started life hundreds/ thousands of years before the existence of cars and were built around walking and horses. if you go to one of the newer towns such as Milton Keynes, relatively new anyway, you will find more facilities for parking your car . If you want to have street lighting move to a bigger town. I'm sorry to go on in this way but you have titled Your video things you don't get. This means you haven't been able to work out how or why they are the way they are and yet I can work out why things are the way they are in the USA and I and I don't live there. I live in the UK. It seems to me that all of the issues you've brought up none of them are really important they really are First World Problems. Perhaps they're more representative of your expectations based on your life in the states and not on the realities of the of the culture of the you move to. it's nice to see your collie dog, or at least it looks like a collie. our dog is a collie mixed with a Springer Spaniel called a Sprolly however I do wish your channel good luck.

Well thought out video. The lack of outlets in the bathroom is to avoid the possibility of people getting electricuted when an electrical appliance falls into a bath tub full of water. The hot and cold tap thing is due to an old cross contamintion issue between hot and cold water supplies which I do not think applies any more, but we still have them. We do not need air conditioning 49 weeks of the year. Too much cost for minimal gain to include air con when building a house here. I totally agree with you about bug screens. Most "ethnic" restaurants in smaller towns are one of Indian, Chinese, Italian or Turkish. The cuising of smaller ethnic groups seem to be limited to the bigger cities. I guess there is not a large demand, otherwise there would be a wider spread of cuisine across the country. Ordering in a pub is an experience thing. You tend to know as you walk in the pub. The waiter thing is more that they want you to come back, rather than the turn around a table to get the next customer in. Repeat business is their key driver. Water fountains used to be a thing when I was young (1970's), but for some reason they have disappeared. The TV Licence is a hot political topic at the moment. The funding and "politicisation" of the BBC will be a topic at the next election. Road surface quality is another political topic. Funding for road repair has not been adequate under either shade of government. Roundabouts are good, unless you live in Swindon and come across "The Magic Roundabout" Contactless is a growing thing, but the UK is lateish to the game. You are right that Covid increased the propensity of cashless outlets, but my local takeaway is still cash only. With delivery drivers, they are told the need to deliver the package to a person, proof of delivery. I will take in a package as long as I recognise the name, and my neighbours have taken in packages for me. Our transport network is OK but far behind mainland Europe where they have far more high speed rail and accessable transport. Renewable energy is another hot political topic. The right in US & UK are pro fossil fuels and the left in both countries are pro renewables. I cannot understand the economic arguement against renewables. One payment for build and installation gets you free energy. You are spot on about saving the environment. Handing out plastic bags was phased out here about a decade ago, which again, was lagging behind mainland Europe. Our living wage is low, as can be documented by people needing in work benefits to survive. Foodbanks are also a thing here that should not need to be a thing. One topic I think you missed on the good side is universal healthcare. If there is one thing that I would want to export from British society is the NHS. Properly funded universal healthcare is not only beneficial to the population but beneficial to a nation's GDP. as it provides a healthier workforce to the economy.

Taps are separate to avoid cross contamination. Traditionally hot water is heated gradually and stored in a tank. That water should not be drunk and not contaminate the cold drinking water. Thus the separate taps. To use separate taps, put they plug in the sink and mix in the sink. That also uses less water which is good for the environment.

Thank you so much for subscribing, it really means a lot to our small channel! We did do things we love about the UK, at the end of this video 😁😁

Ice: we prefer room temperature coz you can taste the drink better which is why you generally are not served ice. I about ice coz it waters down the drink.

Those sockets next to sink i think is not a legal distance from sink. Very odd.

Re: the narrow roads and limited parking. The reason for that is because much of towns, villages, cities and roads are older than the USA, and were created, long before the invention of the automobile. Some of the UK's cities, towns and roads date all the way back to Roman times, and the New Testament era of the Bible.

A lot of the things you guys mention is down to space really being at a premium here on our little island nation, house prices are relatively expensive and quire small, add to this that much of our land has underground mines and caverns makes some land unusable for housing. Things like closets and separate laundry areas are only something you are going to get at the higher end of the market or in rural areas. This effects things like plumbing to, so houses will be designed with only one or maybe two water points which also depends on where the water pipes are and the sewers are in and around your property. The brits were hardy folk going back in history, washing machines and tumble dryers are fairly recent things and everyone at least during wwii and before would use a washing line outside to dry clothes, they could be out there for days due to our wonderful climate. This fact means that air con is not a standard thing here although most office based businesses will have them, however heating via a boiler and radiators are the norm, I think maybe you are lucky to have a home that retains heat well, most homes don’t or they keep warm when it’s hot but are freezing when it’s cold. Commentators are probably right about fountains, if we were to have them in public places, those of an anti social nature would either fowl in them or damage them, local councils can’t afford to maintain the services they already provide let alone any new ones.. You are right about restaurant culture, we prefer an unhurried approach, we like time to settle into a table and to choose the food we want before we are disturbed by waiting staff, we also appreciate they let us decide when to. Ask for the bill. In terms of table service I think it’s just a matter of familiarity with either your local restaurants or national chains, even McDonalds are now doing table service, where traditionally fast food places like them would normally be counter service, many are now self service. Traditional pubs or those that used to be, most pubs are pub restaurants now, the old style pub which didn’t serve food have all but gone now, so in dependant or older style pubs will be counter service, only the larger national chains like harvester or hungry horse will be table service or a mix of both, you go to the counter to place your order and they bring your food to you. Only pure restaurant chains will be complete table service, although then again there are exceptions. Not sure I know what you mean about lemonade, 7up and sprite are fizzy lime and lemon drinks, lemonade is clear except for traditional or cloudy lemonade which is a murky grey this is to give the impression that it’s more like traditional home made lemonade which would have been lemon juice and water essentially and not fizzy, some places have started to sell flavoured lemonade with raspberry lemonade being the most popular, this is normally blue in colour, weird but there you go, this can be found fizzy and non fizzy. I recall having a Minute Maid lemonade once from a vending machine in Orlando but I don’t Romberg there being a difference but it was 2016 so I could have forgotten. Sorry to hear you will be leaving next year, hope you have enjoyed your time here on the whole.

Firstly a bathroom can become steam filled and a kitchen, generally, does not. That moisture is conductive, water and electricity do not mix. Next. UK restaurants are required to pay staff so must serve sufficient customers to cover costs. Business fails in this category are amongst the highest, hence sparsity of provision in smaller communities.

British (and almost all Europeans) HATE being rushed in a restaurant. It is somewhere to go for the evening and in somewhere good it would be rude for the staff if you were there for less than a couple of hours. I (and many others) feel that having waiters rushing you is really rude and I would chose not to go there again. Again, I hate too much ice. As to melts it dilutes the drink (unless it is water), and also if drinks are too cold your taste buds do not function properly and you don't get the proper flavour (for example white wine has the best taste at 7-12 C, and that probably applies to other drinks too).

When you walk into a old house your on the ground floor under your feet is the basement,next floor up from ground flour is the first floor, basements are not classed as a destination for a visitor to a home,it's a old way of doing things.

That’s a good way of looking at it. It’s just a change of terms that throws us sometimes 😂😂

If you want ton know about waiter service, you ask when you go to the bar. Most of your answers relate to lack of space. Britain is much smaller and much more heavily populated than the US. Most towns were built before cars were a thing so parking wasn't a consideration. Houses are smaller so either no space for waters, dryers etc or the additional cost of space is prohibitive.. Same for wardrobes.. The water thing relates to how hot and cold water and supplied. The hot water was normally stored where as the cold comes from the mains.. Many modern houses are provided with single taps but for older buildings, the additional cost of making that change , where it issn't necessary, is prohibitive. Roads are smaller because of space and costs.

This is funny...:D So the bathroom is super damp/moist the water soaks everything. In the kitchen it's not moist/damp. The reason for the hot and cold taps is simple Cold water is direct from the mains and perfect drinking water (this could be why we have less water fountains). The hot tap comes from a tank, like a large electric kettle. Perfect for washing the pots and pans or yourself. I think one trick is a large till on one end of the bar, that will be for taking for orders at the bars. The other clear thing is if somebody greats you when you enter, they will have waiters who will come to you. I really enjoyed the things you like about the UK.

The thing about parking, I have to ask you, what do you think we should knock down to make a car park for every business. I think you might have noticed our buildings are anything from ancient to victorian. Lemonade meh Tomaytoes Tomatoes.. Hot and cold taps again its an age of buildings thing, Dates back to two things. Tanks in the loft for hot water supply, and lead piping all pulled out in the 1970s. Those things that you stop at for right of way, you go if nothings coming usually on a narrow road or just for road calming...just go. Laundry rooms same thing traditionally we hang washing out it's free. Then we put the almost dry washing in the airing cupboard, but I usually completely dry my washing outside. Almost all drive through places here are american or an American idea. We don't have a tradition of fast food in Europe. Going to the cinema is an event. So is dining. You just choose one. I have a portable aircon unit that you put a pipe through the window so I'm with you on aircon. I've never once been to a pub or restaurant that won't give you ice if you want it. I prefer just a couple of cubes, and from what I see american roads although straight and long, city streets are in total disrepair, and I've watched youtubers who complain about american streets.

@@AroundtheWorldandBeck if you just keep in mind, that the USA is the only country in the world that was built for cars, Europe was built for horses and carts or walking. America was built and expanded after the car was invented, where as European towns and cities existed before people hardly ever left their local area. And FAST food is also an American idea. Fortunately I remember a gentler time before Europe had a single McDonald's where going out to dinner was what you did. This time of going out shopping then dinner and then taking in a show or a film, only happened when Malls, Fast Food Joints, and Multiplex Cinemas arrived in the 80s all of which are American ideas. Our culture is being eroded by firstly the Americanisation of everything we romantically hold dear. And now youtubers telling us what's wrong with the uk.

In a pub if they seat you there's service, if not assume you go to the bar... If in doubt go to the bar... Service is higher class more expensive and often a restaurant with a bar, not a pub with tables you can eat food at...

The 2 separate taps thing dates back to a time when hot and cold water were kept separate to prevent cross contamination through cross connection Cold water came from a mains supply and was fit for drinking. Hot water would be serviced by a local storage cistern often situated in the loft. Water bylaws prevented hot and cold water being mixed because water that had been sitting in a tank in the loft was not deemed safe to drink, Plus its handy for visually impaired people as they know which side the hot and cold water is on

Obviously, you have never built a road. It doesn't matter how long the road has been there, it matters how much money you invest into rebuilding it. It matters how hard your road crews work and how much access they have to machinery to assist them. The roads are a joke. Invest in infrastructure and rebuild them.

I'm sorry, 'what do British women do to get ready, when there's no outlets and the only room that COMES with a mirror doesn't have an outlet to do your hear in?'. The bathroom doesn't come with a mirror in, you buy one and put one in, just like you can for any room of the house, such as a hallway or a bedroom. Oh ye', that room with the bed in, with all your clothes, etc... Now you mention there are sockets near water outlets elsewhere, but those other rooms don't get steamed up and involve you being bear foot and likely naked in them. Two taps is an old thing where the cold tap is potable, drinkable water and the hot water can't be guaranteed to be drinkable as the water as held in a tank in the loft that was open and would empty into the boiler to be heated up. Here's the thing, that thing to the rear left, is a plug, it goes in the hole, just like a bath, think of it as a bath for your hands and face. Washers are in the kitchen because they draw a higher current, like the other devices, the room is set up for higher current appliances plus there is already water inlets and waste water outlets to carry the waste water away. Some, few houses have utility rooms to put these appliances in and so they sit in the kitchen. In some European countries the washing machine is in the bathroom. A lot of what you mention is down to size and costs, size in that our houses are old, many built when America just got independence and that space is at a premium here. Costs as in extra appliances cost money, running them cost money, maintenance of these appliances that may not get used often. Towards the end of the video it really sounds like you're either wanting or expecting the U.K. to just be U.S.A. 2.0. The U.K. isn't the outlier here, it's the U.S.A. like if you want ice, ask for it, 'no drinking fountains, they are everywhere in the United States, WERE NOT THE UNITED STATES want water ask for it, floors - it's America that ground floor is the first floor, extremely few other places do it that way, one of 'one of the few countries that drive on the left (that few being 64, as opposed to 163 that drive on the right), the road conditions aren't great in many places (as many in the U.S.A. aren't either), parking spaces, again, space is at a premium, parking in the U.S. is plentiful, why, because your cities, towns, 'stroads' are geared up for cars, the pedestrian is an afterthought, many places if you're seen walking at the side of the road, people will stop and ask what you are doing. Your base commanding officers need to be told that service personnel stationed in the U.K. should attend a two week induction, because every American that has an account videoing their move to the U.K. has the same questions and irks.
