Hi mate. We don't just use an electric kettle for tea, coffee or hot chocolate . You could boil the kettle to say get raw vegetables boiling on the stove instantly instead of using cold wate, to cook rice, instant add water meals like noodles, to boil an egg. Just a few uses 🍜🥚 🍚☕

Blazer/tie/shirt combo is typical uniform in the UK! Also a cookie has chocolate chips usually 🍪

Oh the physical pain I felt watching her make tea. Whether it was a joke or not 🫣

The highschoolers are from Fulham boys high school, and yes that is their school uniform. Jolly and Korean Englishman have a full series with them, even taking some out to Korea. You should check out more of them

[marielouise]

That IS definitely their school uniform, that’s what most secondary/high school’s wear, my boys do. The blazer normally has your school emblem or name on it and ties vary in colour and patterns plus the blazer and trousers can be different colours for different schools. My kids wear navy blue. Also shirts may not necessarily be white depending on your school. At my kids school, there are 4 houses and each house has its own colour tie to represent it.

You need to watch this entire series. These kids are awesome. I promise you will not be disappointed.

'Aitch' is actually the correct way to say 'H' in British English, it gives the pronunciation 'a-ch' in the dictionary. It's not a matter of laziness or mispronunciation, I was scolded in primary school for saying 'haitch'

As a German I can say we Europeans do love our kettles, I’m also pretty sure the same goes for a lot of Asian countries, it’s just great for getting hot water super quick not just for making tea

[voyanceelle]

I use the kettle many many times per day. For my many pots of tea of course, but also when I cook to speed up the process or for instant soups, instant broth and other instant stuff like that :D Then also I have my hot water bottle for when my feet are cold or I get sick. You can also use hot water for cleaning for example to reduce bacteria or I also use boiling water and dish liquid to clean the drain or pipes.

Ryan, there are hundreds of British accents! These lads are from the south so you’ll always understand them. They’re reading from Reddit or something but it’s all part of their adventures with Josh and Olly. If your English classes in America were set out effectively, part of what you studied would include phonics, phonetics, etymology, all the parts of speech, phrases and clauses, as well as parsing and analysis. But Americans seem to be lacking in all of these areas.
Also there’s a big difference between letter names, letter sounds, and words written as pronounced. Letter W has a name: Double U. British say stupid as stewpid

I use my kettle to pre-boil any water i need for cooking noodles or potatoes or whatever efficiently. Boil 2l or so in the kettle within 2 minutes while i heat my pot with a tiny amount of water.

[TychoCelchu]

What they were wearing was pretty normal for a school here. Blazer, shirt, school tie, dark trousers, and black shoes.

An electric kettle will be used for various hot beverages, instant noodles, and hot water bottles. The voltage for our electricity is about double what you have in the US, so your electric kettles heat up far slower.

[drcl]

Whenever you cook anything in a pot with water an electric kettle is very useful instead of waiting 10 mins for the water to boil on the hob. As soon as my kettle stops working top priority is to get another.

Does probably help that our Electricity is twice the voltage of yours so kettles boil about 2x as fast.

[Lulubelle]

The channel the video is from, Jolly, is really funny and full of Britishness! If you want more of the teenagers there’s a whole series on the Korean Englishman channel ( same creators as Jolly)

[trilikvlt]

About the electric kettles… Well, even though I’m not British (I’m from France), they come in quite handy because you can take water to boiling point quicker than on a stove and therefore get water ready for cooking faster for example.
At least I use it quite often for that purpose and know many others that do too

[juliehillman]

Almost all children in the UK wear a school uniform. Many in Secondary (High School) education have to wear a blazer and tie. The tie and colour of uniform is different for each school, so students are 'uniformly' dressed.

[Jeni]

I boil the kettle to make real coffee in my pour over system. I also use it to make soup, to add to my steamer since a kettle is ten times faster than the stove, and for washing up heavily stained pots and pans.

[maramau]

That was really fun! Glad you decided to watch it with us! :)

[TheSuperlambanana]

I literally don’t drink tea at all (yes I am British) and barely drink coffee of the instant variety in the house - I use my kettle constantly! For pasta, rice, potatoes, veggies - literally anything you want to boil 😂 get one. It’ll revolutionise your life. And while you’re at it get an air fryer.

[Blackcat]

A cookie is a biscuit with chocolate chips within the dough. We do have gravy which we put on a roast dinner. The lads are in Secondary school. That’s their uniform which is common across the uk. Fish & chips = cod or haddock mostly xxx
