According to statistics the UK has better teeth than the US.

[PHDarren]

06:13 (UK) we can pay by card everywhere, chip on the card, just tap the payment machine just as you would with a phone. We also pay with phones, everywhere.

I have to comment on the dental hygiene thing because the uk is ranked 5th while America is ranked 9th. The big difference is the whiteness of whatever chemicals americans add to their teeth

When I was shopping in the US, I just walked into a clothes store and all I want to do is look around, see what I like and I'll ask if I want something. But the lady who worked there came over with a massive smile and starts asking me what am I looking for, how's my day etc and it is a bit much. I'm used to just having my earbuds in and minding my business

[mrswinkyuk]

Your explanation of Chicken and Waffles only reinforced the point about weird foods Americans eat! It did _not_ make it better.

[JPVLDRodrigues]

Being waffles instead of pancakes doesn't really make it better! 😂

[colinstevens]

This difference with the tipping is that here in the UK waiters/waitresses are generally paid a proper wage so are not reliant on tips whereas in the US they are so poorly paid that the only way they can survive is through tips so of course they are going to be extra nice. Also in the US they will try and rush you from the table so they can get more people through whereas in the UK yo7 can sit at the table all day if you really want to and for the most part no one will mind

Quite often in UK we use pubs as a frame of reference for directions " When you get to the White Lion pub take the second left..." etc🤣

[svennie]

Much of Europe has not only been paying with plastic for some time, we've been paying 'contactless' or using Google Pay or apps using NPC on our mobiles and smart devices.

[richt]

Contactless payments by card have been common for a long time in the UK. The only place I pay with cash is the barbers.

[anta]

Service staff, interrupting our meal every 5 minutes, drove me nuts when I lived in the US. For me it spoiled the whole experience of dining out.

[natmanprime]

i just have to say...i cant get over how purely and genuinely happy anna always is!!! it's so rare and wonderful, i cant get my head round it! what a fantastic couple you are!!! great vid, great reaction!

[rocketrabble]

Despite some weird old myth about UK dentistry which seems to be based on us having dentists who are concerned about dental health whilst in the US they are more concerned about the cosmetic aspects.

[zakiadahir]

06:13 In the uk we mainly use contactless pay and apple pay for stuff but most places still take cash. We use it everywhere on the train, coffee etc

[equestrianandsingingtimmy]

Most of the world finds what you call biscuits and gravy very strange

[nancybudd]

Can't buy beer without ID at 35 but can have a gun when you are a child and can pick one up at the supermarket, make it make sense

[debbiejoanhill]

Everything in Britain is the best because we made everything that rest of the World adopted. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

A long time ago when my Mum had moved to the US, I flew out to Florida (from the UK) and went out grocery shopping with her (and her new husband). After having everything bagged, I picked up the shopping, turned to leave, only to hear the checkout girl say, "Come back now!" I turned back thinking I had done something wrong. Then I realised it was just a simple invite to return some time in the future...

[Thomashorsman]

Card and contactless is much more popular in Europe (or the U.K. at least). It’s very rare for us to have to put our PIN in nowadays due to the contactless limit being £100 or Apple Pay being unlimited. Vending machines, public toilet turnstiles and even buskers in the street are all contactless

[coling]

24 hours supermarkets became a big thing in UK about 20 years ago and then seemed to drop off. fact is that not that many ppl do want to do their shopping at 3am. even if shift workers - which i was for a long time. the old myth about "British teeth". i think UK scores higher than USA these days. Americans might consider that bleaching your teeth is simply wearing away the enamel faster. so having super shiny white teeth when young will lead to yellow in middle age and no doubt then ppl will have their's capped. out of vanity.
