As a brit, I can't even comprehend not respecting a line. like, how can you push in front of someone and think that's normal?

[JoshPrints]

As a Brit, I really value escalator etiquette. I see escalators as "fast stairs" rather than "lazy stairs", and so the left being clear allows me to use them as fast stairs. Particularly useful at metro/underground station where those saved seconds could mean getting an earlier train.

As a Brit, let me tell you the amount of times I've had to call out attempted queue jumpers that werent born here is immense. Like how can you even enter this country without knowing the rules of a queue? You try to push in the queue here then youre asking for a fight.

[ShaneH]

You don’t need to worry about turning at traffic lights in the UK. Unlike in the US you’re not allowed to turn at a red signal, when you’re allowed to turn there will be a green arrow to tell you

[jgreen]

actually "wait for your cue" is a totally different word from "queue".
Cue means signal. wait for your signal.
Queue means list/sequence

What made me laugh was when he mentioned early on not to confuse England with the UK or Britain. But then later on he said don't try and fake a 'British or Scottish accent'. D'oh.
To explain - he meant 'English or Scottish accent'. Scotland and England are both British so a Scottish accent is also a British accent. He was using British to mean English. Don't do that.

[jamesallen]

2:46 That 'unspoken rule' is written on every one of those blue signs in between the escalators. 😂

By the way...The reason we in the UK Drive on the Correct Side of the Road goes back to the days of the Knights. You hold the Reins in your Left Hand and your Sword, or Axe, or Lance with your Right Hand. So the Horse was 'driving' on the Left Side of the Enemy and you took action on the Right Side. Cars Driving on the Right are a potential danger to you.

When they said don’t push in during the queue I was so shocked that you were actually able to do that in some countries! Like WHAT!

[Isabelthompson]

I'm English and I've always been under the impression that we invented queuing, we probably didn't but we are definitely the best exponents of it and we absolutely hate when foreigners don't understand this simple concept and try to push in or complain about how long it is taking, just bloody stand there and be patient!

I think many people in England say I'm from Cornwall or wherever, (in england), rather than just Im from England, because unfortunately in many situations saying England many people just think of London, London does not represent the whole the whole of England, just like England does not represent the whole of the UK.

The talk of meeting the Queen reminds me, she used to walk around her estate in Balmoral (Scotland) just dressed as a little old lady with headscarf and with her plain clothed protection officer. She once bumped into a couple of American tourists who didn't recognise her. The tourists asked if she lived in the area and she replied that she had a house nearby. When they asked her if she'd ever met the Queen, she replied: "No, but this policeman has, " gesturing towards her protection officer. I wonder if it ever dawned on them later that they had spoken with the Queen! There's another story of a couple who wrote to the Queen inviting her to their wedding, and obviously they received a letter from one of her ladies in waiting saying thank you but her majesty would not be able to attend. Well it turned out that the Queen was in the area on their wedding day and made a surprise visit to their wedding reception. She was an incredible woman, with a cracking sense of humour (just look at the 007 Olympics arrival, and of course marmalade sandwiches with Paddington Bear), and is greatly missed. As Paddington said; Thank you, for everything.

The one with the Queen's Guard. That would be like a British person going to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and interfering with the guard currently on duty.

[hullster]

Oh and the Queens guard thingy...The red tunic and the fluffy wuffy hat is not an invitation to hassle him, he is on duty, not there for selfies. He has loaded live rounds in the mag and 1 in the chamber. Also, he has permission to fire if threatened and a bayonet to run you through with.

Brexit ( British exit ) was a referendum on leaving or staying in the European Union. It went on for years and we got sick of it. We really found out people's political views and the results were so close it really divided the country. There were the Brexiteers and The Remainers. People split up with their friends, family even spouses over it. Needless to say it's a bit of a touchy subject still.

[caramelanomaly]

I'm Scottish and it doesn't really bother me if I'm called English or British but I have been asked some let's say unthinking questions by Americans like do I have running water in Scotland or do I have television.

[LyraDavis]

It’s also difficult to get away with queue jumping in the uk as not only will other punters call you out often not even for themselves “or mate, that bloke was in front of you” but the server will often have clocked who arrived when and know in their head the order they’re going to get to people in. And on the occasion where a member of bar staff looks to serve you next when you know there was someone waiting before you, the only decent thing to do is step back and say ‘no this gentleman /lady was before me and nod to the person whose turn it actually is.

[butchershoppequartet]

The word "queue" is spelled with just the letter Q. All the other letters are just waiting in line.

[TT_PLEB]

Unspoken rule... That is plastered all over the place on signs and will very much be told to you if you don't follow 😂

[SimonHume]

Calling the Scottish 'English' is like calling a Canadian 'American'
Incidentally I heard a story recently about someone who met the Queen whilst out for a walk, not recognising her asked if she had met the Queen! Apologies if that was on this channel :)
