Differences Between Living in the US vs the UK!

I had plugged in mobile for charging but forgot to switch in ON what do I do 😮

I fell like this British girl is from a family with money. I doubt she grew up in a terraced house with no garden and tiny bedrooms. I've never lived in a house with a conservatory. They're expensive!

Remember it rains more in New York then is does over here

There is of course the confusion of what is meant by "bathroom". In UK, it used always to mean the room with a bath(tub) in it; from about the midle of the 20th century, it also tended to include a toilet (WC). A room containing only a WC would never be called a bathroom, even now. Towards the later 20th century, a "downstairs toilet" became common, so a (two-storey) house would have two WCs (the original bathroom was nearly always upstairs, on the same floor as the bedrooms); a second bathroom - meaning room with a bath - is still rare: usually the bath room is shared. Sometimes - becoming commoner this century - the master bedroom might have an "en suite" added, which means a room with a bath (and often WC), for users of the master bedroom only, the existing bathroom remaining to be shared by the users of the other bedrooms. Showers started to replace bath(tub)s towards the end of the 20th century; given the smaller size of British homes, this allows more rooms to have "en suite" facilities. Many (especially older!) people still prefer a bath to a shower.

Most other countries don't have a dryer. I was shocked when I found that out.

We have an air con for my house for the summer, living in ground floor 3 floor house turned flats in the uk!

Nearly every uk house had a dryer

And they are not expensive

Ranging from 150 to 250 and last around 8 years or more

UK HOUSES , ARE SMALLER THAN SOME 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES.
WHY ?????????

Boredom at it highest form

Not everyone in the US has a garage! Especially not in the bigger cities. They park their cars on the street (and that's if you're lucky enough to find a parking spot).

yanks "whats a detached house ?" every time........

I Live In El Paso Texas And I Live In A Trailer Park So Yeah Is 200 Feat Part I Think

UNITED STATES is way much better than the UK and that’s a fact 😃🇺🇸

Texas sounds cool if your okay with driving 40 minutes everywhere for food an hour for shopping 120° weather plus humidity and underdeveloped streets and god forbid you miss an exit in Texas you’re going to have to drive 2 miles til your next exit

UK is to USA as Belarus is to Russia.

I'm from the United States and our homes are in all sizes. We have houses that are small, some big, some medium size. We have trailers. We have small apartments. We are not all in a luxory house.

How is a dryer bad for the environment? Energy usage would be solely dependent on the energy source. If it's nuclear, hydroelectric, or geothermal, then there's basically zero impact on the environment other than the land development where the power plant is.

British people must be completely propagandized when it comes to an energy and fuel crisis.

US has greenhouses, but they are usually called "sun rooms" or "solariums".

That British girl doesn't have a clue what she is talking about, nearly everything she says is wrong, she doesn't even know what a plug is!

In the USA, the conservatory is known as a Sun room, Solarium, Florida room.

Houses in London are very small and super expensive. Generally speaking everything is small and ridiculously expensive in the UK capital. If the heatwave strikes in, you will melt. AC is luxury.

no clear, no pictures, no building, no house and apartment pictures. that example nothing.

Don't think these girls have enough life experience to discuss this topic. Being a brit the English girl relied too much on outdated stereotypes

Lauren is my marriage crush❤

Americans hate on english and europeans like there not engisj or european? Duh

In addition to their counties of origin, you can tell they are obvious ex-pats. The double wave is such a Korean thing.

Never use aircon in the UK? Try living in London in 100 degree loft conversions in summer.

I don't know how they would be able to fit a "conservatory"/greenhouse in a 900sqft. I don't see how that would be possible

some houses in the uk have a tumble dryer, I have one

ceiling fan is scary... omg kids really are scaredy cats

Down here in Malta A/C is extremely common as summer takes a long time to blow over and it gets rather hot. We have the british style elctrical plugs, a holdover from the time we used to be British colony.

Don't have tumble dryers? I think most households in the UK have had them since the 1970s. We don't have one at the moment or a microwave, but I would certainly say that was the exception rather than the rule.

Air con?? Or air conditioner.. air con sounds like the movie they ship the cons on air to another place

Never met so many nutters in my life than in the 2 months I spent in the us.

Our tubes have AC in London, as do offices, Universities, shops, restaurants, and new builds with built-in AC, which we primarily use for warming our rooms in winter, as Heatwaves max lasts for two weeks. Also, we have a washing machine with built-in tumble driers, so washer/dryer machines and everyone I know in London have one. I am talking about London, but not sure about other cities in the UK.

My family has 5 bedrooms... we have a decent sized fam

Actually, in Northern and Central Europe, A/Cs are rare, but in Southern Europe are quite common in the cities and areas by the sea, but not in the villages, where it is more cold, or you are more used to heat.

I got AC in my home because I don't like to be too hot. I am not a normal Brit. It's very common for us Brits to say that it's only hot enough "one" day a year for it, or here you have Lauren saying it only lasts one or two weeks when in reality it can be several months. There was a heatwave in Europe in 2003 that killed tens of thousands of people - that's how stubborn we are. We'd rather die than admit it's too hot. AC is common in larger businesses and restaurants, and most 3* and up hotels (although they don't seem to turn it on until it's already too hot).

The switch is because of the 230 volts, US and Canada its 120 volts.

At least where I’m from people have garages, or carports on the house because of storms. Every year we get hail, and pretty much everybody has a vehicle.

Im sure US dobt have box room 😂 UK count box room as an room 😁

I love that this American girl has never heard of a “sun room.” Plenty of people have those in America. 🤦‍♀️

Actually with the plug outlets in Canada we have the same ones as in the US and they are usually installed vertically but sometimes I’ve seen them installed horizontally as well and even though when you install them vertically it’s supposed to be the little ground hole should be on the bottom and the 2 long holes on top but I have seen them installed upside down with the little ground hole on top and the 2 long holes on the bottom and I don’t know why but it drives me bonkers when I see a plug outlet installed upside down with the ground hole on top and the 2 long holes on the bottom I ABSOLUTELY hate seeing them installed that way but horizontally doesn’t bother me only if they are installed upside down vertically with the little ground hole on the top and the 2 long holes on the bottom does it drive me mad also in Canada sometimes there would be a switch on the wall with the light switches that would turn on or off one of the plug outlets

Wait I thought the underground had A/C now

In Canada we have houses with garages and some without I think garages are more common in the suburbs I grew up in a suburb of Toronto and there pretty much all the houses had garages but in the city there are some houses with garages but I don’t think as many houses in the city of Toronto have garages as in the suburbs

In the thumbnail the plug outlets are backwards the American one is on the British side and the British one is on the American side

Both nations have has utter moronic and comedic leaders in recent years.

What country are tgey in together
