- So I visited England with general stereotypes of English people but I came away with my own first impressions and assumptions as an Irish person! So if you're wondering what traits English people have or what it's like to visit England for the first time, I've got you covered!

In this video, I share my perspective as an Irish person visiting England. From the friendliness of the people, to their love for dogs and even bigger love of camping, I share my honest opinions about this country. Did I notice more differences or similarities between Ireland and England?
Kyle & Lauren - Zábava
I think during the Irish Famine in the 19th century, it was the British land owners and estates who treated the Irish people so badly. Not ordinary Anglo/Saxons. Definitely not the peasantry.
Thank you. Nice to see an Irish person talk positively about my people for once.
Not when they play England in the rugby,, they hate our guts then 😂
SPOT on! As an English person currently living in Ireland touring 👌
The English and Irish are blood brothers who should not have hatred but no one says that one of the brothers let the other die of hunger ..
Sunday Roasts. Most pubs in England you'll need to book a table on a Sunday and get there early, i.e. 12 noon. 1 o'clock is prime time. 2 o'clock it's mostly sold out.
Oh no way that's mad , I wouldn't have even thought to do that! Thanks for the heads up, I'll know for next time 😊
@@Tinyboots_travelsThis *could* possibly be a hangover (hang-over?) from the days when pubs in England had very strange hours. That probably didn't happen in Ireland: on Sundays, for literally decades and decades (I think this started during the First World War, to stop munitions workers getting drunk, but also because of the "temperance" movement), pubs would either be shut all day on Sunday, and they might close at about 2 on EVERY DAY of the week ... until about 6 PM. I remember in the late 1980s when they swept away this prohibition on daytime drinking... it was unbelievable to be able to drink in a pub in the afternoon. But I think now, yes, 2 PM might be considered quite late to go for a full lunch in a restaurant/pub in England.
Great video! I've travelled to England a load of times and have always enjoyed it, people tend to give the English a hard time (perhaps because of history haha) but I've always found them friendly and kind, just not too over the top with it.
As for the restaurant thing, I've personally rarely had that experience with things being unavailable, occasionally some desserts maybe? Though I've mostly been to London and around the South so it could be a northern thing or you were just unlucky haha
From the comments it seems this may be a thing in the north about the restaurants, such a weird one!
@@Tinyboots_travels I was going to mention that Northerners do tend to be more friendly and open than people from say..... the South East of England where it's been my experience they are more guarded and maybe cautious around strangers - still friendly but less likely to start a conversation with a stranger.
Im English and im very proud you said these nice things i just came back from france and they were very nice to me all trip it just goes to show dont believe the stereotypes
Hi! I do agree with your observations. As an English person living in North Yorkshire I've encountered the problem of menu options not being available ( items in shops too) it's mostly been since covid and Brexit😱. It is deeply annoying. I went to Northumberland last summer too, a most wonderful place! It you like it there, you will love Yorkshire. Glad you had a positive experience of the English. We're pretty good on the whole!
Oh really, so it wasn't just me!! The comments made me think I was going mad haha. God yes such stunning scenery, want to go back and see more of England soon! :)
I found the English very friendly,and smart with humour, good neighbours, and the do not us Irish . Politics is one thing, but English people are more than ok
Come to London and say hello to people
English people are friendly. Just not in London. But that's no different to Paris or Berlin.
The whole of the rest of the country is great.
That's not true about Londoners being unfriendly. It is such a huge city and people are stressed, busy and always on the go. You can't smile and acknowledge everyone you see on the street. However if you need help or something serious happens, everyone will step up to help. Even if you just need a suitcase moved up an escalator, you'll find many volunteers. It's just a different place to exist in but not unfriendly.
Yeah, its deffo a big city thing.
I used to visit Birmingham with my aunt every summer to another irish aunties and this was during the troubles and every english and the brummies treated us really friendly couldn't of been any nicer and when i was old enough to go for a few beers with my relatives they treated us like royalty the english are very friendly
As an Englishman, I like Ireland. I believe English and Irish people are similar: culturally, e.g: pubs, folk music, banter, fantasy, rugby. Lots of Irish people came to England throughout history.
Also, Englishmen often marry Irish women when they date outside our ethnicity
Anglo-Saxons and Gaels are not seperate ethnicities, what are you on about?
Thats a very astute and balanced view of Anglo Irish relationships. I am now 72 and have always had a positive view of England. Our parents reared us that way....my Mum used always say When you make a friend of an English person,you make a friend for life.
@@crowbar9566 yes, we share very similar ethnic roots, sorry for the confusion.
@@geraldwalsh6489 interesting. That was nice to learn. Cheers mate
Your video reminded me of a quote I stumbled across not to long ago: _"More than one British person has told me that only Americans and unhinged people talk to strangers."_
from the book: Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want to Come: One Introvert's Year of Saying Yes by Jessica Pan
Lol
As an antisocial British git I couldn’t agree more!
I was born in England and always seen myself as English but one day i questioned why my first and last name is irish then i asked my sister and apparently grandad was irish. Nice
Hahaa I love that it took you some time to realise your name was irish!
You can get an Irish passport if your grandad was Irish and born in Ireland. That's what I did
@@snirge many brits i know who get irish passports to travel etc are still considered plastic paddies you know and not fully irish by many of us, many of my people would automatically assume your heart is with england than ireland, many brits i know with irish links still consider themselves "english" support them in rugby and football
@@jonathanwhite5688 I'm a plastic paddy then -- but my grandad was Irish, my Da' was Irish and my grandkids are Irish born so I feel connected to both places.
Great video, you have a new sub. Having lived here for 17 years, as a Celtic descendant (Irish,. Welsh and Scots - I dub myself a "Celtic mongrel" haha) have had varied experiences and it very much depends where you are. The north for example is a lot friendlier than the south, that's just a fact, even amongst the English and the Scots.
On the roast front I'd suggest the individual country pubs rather than the restaurants.
Celtic mongrel haha love that!! Yes kept hearing this about the North vs South, will have to go back and see for myself!thanks for the tips :)
Please don't lump us in Cornwall or the southwest as 'the south'. I'm Cornish and we're more friendly than those from the south east. I definitely notice a difference from Cornwall and even Devon to say when visiting a friend in London or Kent, etc. Many here don't consider themselves even English of course, but that's another topic (!) 😁
@@Tinyboots_travels If you do another trip I hope you get a chance to visit Cornwall. The coastline is spectacular, some of the best in the UK. You'll probably pick up on the Celtic heritage here as well, lots of singing in pubs, trad folk, sea songs, etc. We have strong ties with Ireland as well, going way back, Cornwall or Kernow to give it its proper name, traded a lot with Ireland. I remember an Irish (Galic) speaker could understand some Cornish language words as well, which was pretty cool. The Cornish language is having a bit of a revival and is slowly growing, but most natives have at least a number of words, just because you're brought up with hearing them.
Anyway, enjoyed your video - thanks ! Always loved the Irish people 😊
@@mgkernowek maybe that’s because the South East is very overcrowded, often with people relocating from the North and West. We need to protect our privacy a bit more. We’re not unfriendly, just more harassed.
A great video! with really interesting observations. Got to say it - I'm English and have lived in England (East Anglia) all my life - but travelled for decades all over Europe - and the World. The place most similar to England? without question - Ireland. The countryside, towns, villages - and the people too. Unfortunately I believe many people - often with an agenda, look for differences when actually there is very little - often there is none. This is one of the big tragedies of our shared history. By the way roast dinners - hard to get in many places! Best to book especially on a Sunday. 2pm is way too late! you need to arrive at 11.30 - by the time you have sat down, got a drink you will be eating by 12.00. Good luck!
Thanks for commenting, you're very right! I'll be back for my roast dinner for sure!!!!
Hello from a Northumbrian! Ive experienced a bit of hostility for having been born in Britain (like i had a choice 😂 ) but I wanna thank you for breaking down some of those barriers. Hopefully we can continue and just be good neighbours one day! As for the food it tends to be in rural areas where roast dinners are really sought after and supply is much more local/seasonal. If you do get the chance visit Wales and the Cairngorms; they are stunning.
Aw I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for the advice, I love Wales, did a road trip though years ago, its definitely time to return!!
I can't help but politely laugh at your naivety of expecting a roast at 2pm on a Sunday 😅 all in light humour of course. Yeah, you have to get in there early, book in advance if you can as they are popular, especially on a Sunday.
Thank you for your lovely comments on England. I think, our part of the world; Britain and Ireland have been blessed with such stunning scenery.
Well how was I supposed to know 😝😝 I'll know for next time 😄
Very interesting, as someone who grew up mainly in Yorkshire but now lives in Ireland it's very interesting to compare and contrast, should note its very different in the North of England to the South, so much more friendly 😁
When you go back make sure to visit the Bronte village of Haworth and your guaranteed to get a beautiful Roast dinner in most of the pubs there 😋
yes I have to go back now and compare with the south and see! I have spent time in bath and brighton before but didn't really mix with anyone on that visit! Ohhhhh thank you for letting me know, so excited to finally get my roast dinner!
@@Tinyboots_travels Enjoy, added bonus you'll get Yorkshire puddings with your Sunday roast there 😋
Also must see where Bram Stoker went to write Dracula in Whitby, if you go when they're having a Gothic weekend even more of a spectacle, enjoy 😁
@@robertbarras7893 ahh love these suggestions thanks:)
I'm guessing you're another one of those Northerners who think 'South = London'.
There are plenty of places around the U.K. that are geared up, primarily to do roasts such as Toby Carvery.
If you're visiting, scout the area you're staying in earlier in the week. Ask bar staff in pubs etc... if they do roasts, if not, where does and maybe go visit and ask if it's best to reserve a table and if they don't, ask when is best to be seated.
I think you're impressions are cool in the main. I like the impartial way you wxpress yourself.
Well thanks very much :D
Respect your comment about the dogs!! All your points are great!
Great perception!
Lunch service typically finishes at 3 to prepare for evening service and give staff a break before the long evening's work. Recommend researching the best in town and booking in advance for 1PM!
I feel like Irish and English people have the same humour in my opinion
Yeah I agree, very similar sarcastic humour!
@@Tinyboots_travels the most humoured people around the globe, English🏴 and Irish 🇮🇪
Yes definitely. I'm half English, half Irish and the humour is the same type.
The English and Irish are blood brothers who should not have hatred but no one says that one of the brothers let the other die of hunger
Definitely not. I moved from Ireland to the UK and since moved back. UK humour, even among friends, is a lot more offensive. It took a while for me to adjust, as in not to smack the little scallywags. If they behaved in Ireland as they do at home they would risk ending up eating hospital food through a straw. Irish humour and communication are a lot more subtle than British
Roast dinners on a sunday in a restaurant/pub are a nice treat , so everybody has the same idea. You maybe be lucky odd tines too turn up and get a table but vest too pre-book , Saturday the very latest. Country pubs are generally better aswell.
Love love love the Irish. Here in Liverpool a lot of people have Irish roots anyway. My paternal grandparents where from Ireland. Maternal from wales & Scotland! I was born in England. So I have roots all over the Uk x loved your vid hun x
Aw thank you for sharing ☺️
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Nice comment and we love the Scousers. We have a saying in Ireland that Liverpool is the real capital of Ireland. I still prefer Man United though😀😀😀
Most people go out for Sunday lunch at 12.00-12.30 or even earlier and have a couple pints beforehand. 2 o'clock is very late as you found out.
Concerning Anglo-Irish rivalry, many years ago I was married to an Irish girl from Navan. I got talking in a bar to her nephew and his friend who were keen amateur rugby players, so was I many years before! I asked them that if they could choose between the Irish winning the Five Nations Championship, (in those days!) but losing heavily to England at Landsdowne Road in the process or finishing last in the championship but thrashing England at Twickenham, which would they choose?
They both chose finishing last and beating England!
Nuff said.
The English and Irish are blood brothers who should not have hatred but no one says that one of the brothers let the other die of hunger .
Nice to hear some of the posetive things for once, I'm second generation English from the North West. My family are from Dundalk originally. I too find the whole situation with drinks like coke really weird for me as well, there's been this health fad for removing sugar and replacing it with sweetener over the last 10 years.
We have this thing called the Sugar tax were companies are charged for how much sugar they include in a product even the normal supermarket Lemonade and some Cordial now is half Sweetener which is really problematic for me cause my body tends to reject whatever it is and I'm on the toilet for a good food hours afterwards xD I've pretty much given up drinking anything other than Tea and water when out.
Joke of it all is I bet we'll find out that the sweetners cause just as much health problems as the sugar.
Ya it's weird, we have the sugar tax too but normal coke is still served unless you specify coke zero! Find it so funny! I think we already know the artificial sweetners are bad 😯
Try Al Murray, Harry Enfield, Mickie Flanagan to help you with English humor. I was born in England but am now a US citizen. I've been here over 40 years and these guys are new to me but I can't get enough of them. Give them a look I think you're doing to enjoy!
My grandmother was a Fullerton from Northern Ireland, her family arrived in America in the 1600s or 1700s. She had some Scottish roots too.
This should be interesting, since my mother was English, my dad is a Cockney ( natural `father` Scott ) and my grandad from Co Mayo. I grew up in England and have lived in Wales and EIRE. I loved living in EIRE and Wales - and have not counted the number of times I have been to those countries.
I spent a year living in Kilkenny and half a dozen years travelling the country. It`s one of those countries that, if you see it, it`ll be a recurring dream. A soothing reoccurence.
I wish I could go back. I live in the East Riding of Yorkshire now and it should be small matter to go back to what I consider at least half my roots ( gaelic ), but End-Stage Avascular Osteonecropathy limits my wits and abilities to travel. But I`m determined that we only live twice.
Yep - the day will come when I`m back in Ireland, either on the horizontal of vertical.
My Cockney dad is the best dad anyone could ever wish for.
`Never seen a more beautiful Isle than Island. `Ring of Kerry. `The V` down to the south east around Co Wexford. I had a friend in Swords, just north of Dublin, and still am half convinced that she was a witch !
A week isn't enough time love. Certain places are alright. I'm from West hampstead it's nice there. We do love dogs yea😅 Todd video love cheers 👊🏻🙏🏻
I would agree on the friendliness thing, but we are Irish in Ireland.. I have had non-irish friends relay the exact same experience with Irish as you had with the English... Also you were in the north of England is they are known to be EXTRA friendly as well. My time in Birmingham and London I also think that English are quite friendly particularly when the realised I was Irish, their faces just lit up for some reason! Sound bunch!
I’m North West English & I worked in Southern Ireland for 5 years. I loved the place! On days off I’d head down to the South West, or over to Killarney or Galway. I never got sick of spending time there & it was only things like ‘Club Soda’ & ‘Tayto Crisps’ that made me realise where I was because Ireland felt just like home. The people are great & the craic was mighty.
But I don’t know how it will be in the future. All I see now is Irish young people saying they hate the English & there’s been a rise in Pro-IRA songs being sung by the Irish Ladies football team.
I think you should never forget but learn to forgive. Isn’t that what the Bible teaches us?
Aw that's lovely, I lived in Galway for years you can't beat it! Ah no people sing those songs in memory of our history but not with any hate towards present day England , there is nothing to forgive present day England for:)
@@Tinyboots_travels thanks. And I know, some people don’t know the history thoroughly & just let their lungs bellow to a great tune. That’s grand enough. When I worked in Eire, and a bomb would go off in the U.K., some people would lose their lives, I get asked what I thought of it & my answer would be the same.. I’d say that if the Norwegians arrived in Northern Scotland, colonised it & pronounced it was now part of Norway, I would be protesting that the Norwegians should go home. I can see Ireland’s point of view. But I can also see the viewpoint of the Ulsterman who’s family has been in Ireland for 20 or 30 generations & made Northern Ireland their home. They have a right to live their too.
But both sides deserve to live in peace & harmony, for the sake of their children & the unborn. 👍🏻
@@northernhardcore.7899 yes everyone's entitled to their own opinions but definitely not a good idea to get into them too much as I know it causes a lot of disagreement, the main thing is there is peace now
@@Tinyboots_travels aye it is. I’m glad you made a video about your experiences in Southern Scotland & Northumbria. Please let me know if you swap over to Cumbria or venture down to Liverpool & Manchester on your next visits. Take care & look after yourself.
I’m away to take my old bones to my bed.
Slainte.👍🏻
@@Tinyboots_travels aye. Everybody is entitled to an opinion. I may not like your opinion but I will defend your Right to express it with my life. 👍🏻
There are more people of Irish descent in the UK than there are in Ireland. (ONS)
4-5 million estimate, USA is much bigger at roughly 30 million
plus the irish in canada and further afield australia
@@jonathanwhite5688people like you are so odd lol. Just because your great great great great grand dad is Irish doesn’t make you Irish😂. Most “Irish” people in the usa probably have 3% Irish in them it’s actually so cringe how much you guys claim Irish
Don't tell an Irish 🇮🇪 person in England 🏴 that though as they could never believe you and still claim your an evil English 🏴 overlord while standing on English 🏴 soil with there houses, jobs and half English 🏴 families they've made a life with living here 😂.
@@CombatMediaa That’s not what they said!😊
Northumberland is absolutely beautiful. Bamburgh castle is somewhere I’d recommend if you’ve never been and want to visit again.
The North of England is stunning & the people are approachable. Food is great.Some advice Sunday Roast eating out always pre-book.
If you go for a roastie at 4, none. Next week you go at 3. Etc. But due to economic circumstances, restaurants probably don’t want to be left with unsold stuff.
Hmmmm I'll have to try again next time!
I liked the video. just imagine this video being watched after 20 years and people compare it with that time. Nice idea of comparing and giving your Point of view. I think it was more similarities and some differences... Like subscribed...what is the tiktok :D
Ah thank you :)
Please don't go for a roast at 2.00pm, especially on Sunday! Go to a pub/restaurant at 12pm and book ahead if possible. I'm English and noticed that everything happens about 2 hours later in Ireland. For example, a folk gig in a pub in Ballyhugue didn't even start until 9pm! A similar gig in England would have started at 7pm or 7.30pm.
England yeah !!!
More more more ❤❤❤
🇬🇧🇮🇪
Most of us never go to a car boot sale. But if you come over from Ireland to a car boot sale in England, the other people there might leave you thinking we love car boot sales. I haven't been to one in 30 years.
I'm English...I went to car boot sales all the time before I moved to Ireland
There is a huge camping culture all over Britain alright. People rent caravans or mobile homes at permanently used sites for an annual fee. You can stay on long weekends or holidays throughout the year. In Ireland, I feel people just turn up with a tent and a few fire logs at random intervals, maybe when there's a bit of a heatwave in the summer.
Regarding the expansive countryside with its huge fields and greenery, Ireland suffers from both intensive over-farming, over-grazing and we only have small fields. This is how the land was split up during British occupation over the centuries. In Britain, they've kept a lot of their ancient forests and put a lot into maintaining historical buildings.
The Coke Zero one is odd. Maybe those Wayne Rooney ads from a few years back really worked over there.
Haha yes I think you're dead right with the camping situation in Ireland for sure!! Yes it's sad that so much of Ireland's native forests are gone and that we have much smaller fields, still beautiful though but I was blown away by the green in the Uk!
@Tinyboots Nice video. Never been to England so far.I had a negative impression in my mind regarding English people. From your comments, it seems they are quite friendly. I hope I don't get to see food not available in the Indian restaurants 😅
Hahaa oh god I hope you don't experience the food issue either!
What do you feel about the English accents ? Specifically northern of England 🏴
I like them! I didn't think I did until recently (felt indifferent to the english accent) but I have changed my mind completely!
She found English people in England, Ah! She was up North, that explains it.😮
Pubs do Sunday roast in Manchester round where I live , I never use restaurants
How the English people react knowing you were from the Republic of Ireland ? Was it positive or negative? Please tell us your thoughts
Oh very positive! I always think the English love the Irish? Maybe I'm wrong!
@@Tinyboots_travels well I think the same, I believe English people absolutely love Irish people especially their accent😍😍😍 I’m as well in love with the Irish accent so lovely so amazing
@@Tinyboots_travels Ask the English what they think about the Irish and it'll be pretty positive, because there are loads of Irish TV personalities on UK TV, Irish music in the charts, Irish writers, painters, performers of all descriptions living their best lives in England. Ask the Irish what they think about the English and you'll get a two millennia laundry list of wrong-doings that'll probably end with an impromptu jam session with a bunch of people playing and singing about how the redcoats stole all the colanders in the country.
@@Tinyboots_travels Hello, I think that is a correct assumption. I am English 🏴, and grew up in London and the amount of people I was friends with who literally wanted to be Irish or claimed to have some Irish in them was unreal 😂. I'm not sure if they actually did have any Irish 🇮🇪 in them but it definitely seemed to be very popular to have Irish 🇮🇪 in your family.
Lots of Irish people live in England. Many english and Irish people get married
The restaurant situation has become difficult since Brexit. Restaurants do not have the staff. We visited Devon a couple of years ago and struggled to find places to eat because restaurants didn't have enough staff
Like their Accent...it's nice. 😊
British people love greggs
Its a bakery
There's a few in northern ireland
Ohhh I actually tried the vegan sausage rolls there 😄
Yoh poor thang, all you could get was curry for food in England haha. So sorry. Your video is hilarious haha
The whole of the British isles are beautiful. You need to come Yorkshire you will love it
As in home of the Yorkshire pudding? Yes please!!!
Yeah as in the Yorkshire pudding. Do you know the Brontë’s because if you come to Yorkshire and you need to visit Haworth home of the Brontë’s and if go Sundays you will get a lovely dinner 🥘
few things if your wandering about england with an irish accent people will fancy talking to you more maybe ..not that england lacks irish people and that they are as seldomly seen as unicorns ..irish people abound more or less depending where you go i suppose right ? but i reckon its still more exotic then being english or even welsh or scottish .. in england northerners are chummier....as for the irish hating england or the english well i dont come from england but do to a twist of fate i sound like a black and tanner at least to the irish i do ....so i experienced a bit of stick for it ...i dunno i geuss the brits are arrogant that they havent yet entirely taken responsibility for what the british empire has done without trying to relativise it ..but the irish do tend to enjoy being the aggrieved underdog so that plays a role as well...
The reality is many people in England grew up not really being given the entire truth of what the empire did. Im not justifying it - it totally sucks but I think you'll find the.yijnger generations who have grown up with access to actual factual history are very willing to admit what the British did really sucked - but I'd also wager it was men in power with money who rolled.the dice, not the majority of working class brits. It's a tough one because none of us can change history.
@@spozbucket i lived in both scotland and wales and they too dont know alot of our history and to my surprise made quite a number of disparaging remarks about us irish.....
You do a great impression of Roy Keane's accent. Are you from the same neck of the Irish woods as Roy ?
Oh no not close at all, that's funny 😆
The majority of places, Coke, etc... is on tap, not in bottles. Some may have bottles but you may have to ask.
I'm in north Cumbria (I think you may of briefly entered as the video shows you passed 'Twice Brewed' which is a brewery not far from Haltwhistle on the A69).
The greens , browns and blues of Cumbria will amaze you. Take a flask of tea up a mountain and sit for a while, some of those colours will be different coming down than they were going up.
The colours and hues constantly changing.
Very sadly, that picture you posted with the tree in the dip. Some idiots went out one day late on last year and just cut it down. It was in the news all over the world. They got two people for it but I don't know what's happening with the case.
Brits don't have a problem with the Irish at all, on the whole we see you as part of the UK family.As for the food, don't forget, you live in a Country of 5m, the UK has 70m so things will get sold out quicker.
That is very true, I'll give England a break for the food so ☺️😅
I look forward to our Independence like Ireland ,from 65 million English . Saor Alba 🏴 Warmafiaster is poison
@@staunch2207 You wouldn't last 5 minutes fella.
@@dazza9326 Take your Yooooo Kay and do one ponse.
@@staunch2207 Realy? Grow up. This is a nice Womans vlog and you've turned it into your political argument...
Food in Ireland is definitely on another level - much more fresher and almost "cleaner" .. and bigger portions.
Ohhh I love to hear this :)
There's good and bad in every country on the planet, take everyone as you find them, we all tend to get offended by some nationality, and brand the whole country as the same which isn't fair ......
You're dead right Phillip!
❤
You want a normal coke, its a 'fat coke'. It costs more as the government introduced a tax on sugar a few years back, so soft drinks with high sugar content cost a bit more.
A fat coke, love it haha. They have the same tax in Ireland but you specifically have to ask for coke zero still.... this one really got me haha
who goes for a roast before one pm. ?.......the English. oddly enough living in the south some of the best Sunday roasts are served in garden centre restaurants!!!
Haha so early practically brunch 😅 no waaaay I love a good garden centre , a roast would make that experience even better 🤩😆
Normal people that's who
You would not look out of place in England, which shows how close we are, same goes for the Welsh and Scots.
Do the Lake District 👌🏻
Ohhh I would love to 😍
I am English and when I last returned I found the English people I encountered to be unfriendly and rude yet when I went to Wales and Scotland they were very friendly. Sadly I have never been to Ireland so can not say anything. I now live in Canada and I have found friendly and unfriendly areas here, for example the people of Newfoundland and Labrador will open their homes to strangers and the next thing you know they will have a party!!!
Aww that's so sad that when you returned you found people to be unfriendly :( haha I'll make note that if I'm ever going to Canada, Newfoundland and Labrador are the places to go!!
Irish and English really enjoy each other’s company. I remember watching a friendly soccer match between Ireland and England on Feb 15th 1995 at Lansdowne road in Dublin! It was such a fun match, both sides loving the game and the interaction between English and Irish fans was very brotherly ❤
They can be unfriendly in the south-east. But elsewhere the English are mostly very friendly and approachable.
@@crowbar9566 we’re not unfriendly, just more harassed due to the high population density, crowded roads and loads of incomers. If people from outside wouldn’t relocate here in the numbers they do life would be easier to be honest. And we’re no unapproachable, I chat to strangers here fine.
@@crowbar9566 The unfriendliness in the southeast comes from our Anglo-Saxon genes. Anyone showing any sign of being of friendliness is asked to move up north where that sort of behaviour is tolerated.
I think the antique show you're thinking of is Bargain hunt
Oh yesssss that was it!!!
But you have to take into account there is a difference between a irishman and a irishwomans view in England... its not they same ... there treated different.. but I was in England for a few months and found them OK ... never a problem
I remember when we came to Ireland twenty years ago being surprised at how comparatively poor the Irish campsites were.
Come to Wales its much better here haha, myself have Irish ancestors my great great great grandparents on my fathers side of the family, my great great great grandmother was from Loath and grandfather was from Cork so one from North and the other south of Ireland... Also coke is bad I would not drink that crap haha
Why is it so much better in Wales ha ha / I found the place dank and dreary and the people the same ha ha ha ho ho .
@@stanleywoodison8699 depends on what area of Wales you went to, its always pissing down here the people are snakes so trust no one but we not got many illegals living here which is great also many of the English seem to be moving here and where i'm living there is nothing here so maybe its because the English people are getting booted out by the migrants haha as loads are moving here.
Lunchtime would be 12ish. 2pm is closing time, so it would all have been eaten !
I lived in uk for many years,I was treated very well with english people,they even were better than our own ta work for many irish would tell u that,also I'd rather go for a holiday in uk than any where else,very nice people all over uk friendly,I go there every year no where else

The Irish are the most self satisfied people on earth. Even above the English and Americans.
Good on ya Charles 😂😂
Come to Massachusetts
Try a Toby carvery about 1 pm.
As an 2nd generation English/Irish person: Can you stop calling us 'plastic paddies'?😢 Very nasty!
You want to get to know English people? Get a dog. They absolutely are the best when it comes to dogs. Americans second for dogs. Irish do like their dogs but the English are definitely the top of the poppermost.
I am slightly disappointed I didn't hear an attempt to do an English accent. Lol
Haha awww god couldn't do that to all the poor watchers!!
I know that Seaham car boot sale, but I've never been. It's my idea of hell I must say.
And I agree there are similarities between England or at least parts of England and Ireland.v This must partly be because of Irish immigration into England. If you look around the town and villages of County Durham (where Seaham is) there are loads of Catholic Churches and RC Schools, all evidence of Irish people. And, the school I went to in Sunderland was St Aidans, a boys school which was run by the Irish Christian Brothers, the girls equivalent was run by the Sisters of Mercy.
The other thing is that there are plenty Irish names about. Loads!
Oh, I'd disagree on the architecture. Hitlers bombers are partly to blame for the sudden removal of many historic buildings in City Centres but the blame for the horrible use of concrete must be put on the shoulders of the Architectural Profession.
In Ireland however, I am often blown away by the buildings. Dublin (in part, admittedly), Wexford, Waterford, Youghall, Cork, Fermoy and many more. Great to see! I love Ireland.
I'm also a campervanner and I've been looking for campsites, so good to find your channel.
I don't think you could piss anybody off!! x
Ah god I definitely can haha but thank you 😁
@@Tinyboots_travels 😂
All I got from the restaurant part, was you can’t get what you want in England. Hmm.
Two is end of lunch seriously. People do run out of food also .
I'm from Ushuaia (like theend of the world) in Argentina, and we love camping... Today I have learned English people don't camp, they just move their house to the camping area. Sorry but thta's not camping. Just get a hotel room!!
Agree with you on the coke problem. Im allergic to sweeteners. Cokes just about the only thing left that doesn't have sweeteners over here 🫤
Aw no way, that is something I'd never considered- people with allergies! Another reason not to move fully to sweeteners!
Suddenly so thirsty for half a litre of good ol' Coke
Also agree on the coke problem - not allergic, I just really hate the taste of sweeteners
I lived in manchester and i never felt more alone and ignored
Aw no reallyyyy? :(
@@Tinyboots_travels yes back in the mid 90s arrived in Manchester on me own and I literally could get the time of day
@@stewbrew239 go to Liverpool lad, I have heard Liverpool is much more better plus it is the 2nd capital of Ireland 🇮🇪😁
@@zakariyashakir4091Ha ha they call it that cause many people in Liverpool 🏴 claim to have Irish 🇮🇪 decent. The issue is Liverpool is very much in the country of England 🏴 no matter how much the 'Scouse not English 🏴' crew claim not to be English 🏴. Liverpool is a nice city though with many nice people but like everywhere theres always a section of people who are not.
@@hey12542 I know the history and everything Laaaaa
The problem with opinions like this is that it is not possible to pigeon hole a nation of 67million. All countries contain a cross section of people.
If you want a roast dinner go to a Toby Carvery or book the night before it’s not difficult.
Aren't you a Ray of sunshine 😆
@@Tinyboots_travels Yes sorry, a bit negative.
I don't I've ever been for a roast before 2
Come to the north west we are half breeds im half Celtic 😂😂😂 yes that’s true the hate is real but my ancestors are scoucers x
We're not brought up with hate of the English. Gimme a break. We don't trust them, prima facie, for very good reason, but "hate" is pushing things a bit too far.
I just assume all Irish people hate us for history even though I wasn't even born then.
Not really some of us have a brain 😅
No, we're not like the afro American people holding grudges going back centuries.
That's cause they do. It's all over the internet so the few Irish 🇮🇪 who say they don't are in the minority. They spout lots of anti English 🏴 sentiment and even this Vlogger said they are taught to have hate for the English 🏴 in there veins and her views on saying the English 🏴 are actually quite nice might not be popular in Ireland 🇮🇪. If the Irish 🇮🇪 feel that way why don't they all go on home and leave England 🏴 rather than keep coming and making lives here and marrying into English 🏴 families to then have offspring that's half Irish 🇮🇪 and half English 🏴 but make them surpress the English 🏴 side of there identity cause it's not popular.
@@geraldinemccormick8635 Oh I don't know there still seems to be plenty giving us stick over the famine. Just for the record, I wasn't there at the time and my ancestors were not that much richer than the average Irish farm worker.
Sadly we are not dog friendly in Ireland 😢
We'll get there :)
That's our problem us English , Scots and you guys the Irish are all parts of the same rock. We are too similar which makes us take the piss out of each other.
When you asked for coke at the bar and waited for a response, the bartender was just wondering whether you were looking for a gram or an eight ball.
😂😂😂
Bringing your dog to the pub is like bringing a child to a pub, hope it never happens here
Bill Burr made a comment recently that after eating English food for three days he understood why Gordan Ramsey was so angry.
hahaha
Why do young people these days have to say "like" in almost every.... like sentence!
Same reason young people don't say certain things old people say ,..... different generations 🤷♀️😅
Maybe you should marry an English lad😁🏴
Don't plan on ever getting married but if I ever change my mind I'll consider it haha
@@Tinyboots_travels lol I feel what you are saying, well let’s wish to find the right partner as I wish to marry and English lass and you marry an English lad
@@Tinyboots_travels if you ever find the right partner in your life marriage is the best thing ever
Yeah us Grimsby lot have a problem getting Haddock in certain areas, coz folk like their Cod. And they call us CodHeads. Haa! I think Irish,Welsh,Scottish and Britsh have similar dry humour. We like our banter and 'taking the p!ss' 😂 All in good nature of course. And oh yess we LOVE our camping. Overnight camping in the Woods is the best thing ever! 👍
Haha glad I got a few things right then :D
@@Tinyboots_travels 😂👍
Welsh,Scottish and Britsh??? Lad, Welsh and Scottish people ARE British. How can you be from Britain and not know the difference?
@@samdaniels2I'm from Britain and I'm English 🏴 only. 'British citizen' is on the passport but I have no control over that. As soon as a 'Kingdom of England 🏴' passport is available I'll be much happier.
@@hey12542 You’re still from the island of Britain, and so are Welsh and Scottish people.
Speak for yourself. I wasnt brought up with hate for the English.
Strange cause most of you were it would seem it looking online is anything to go by.
There's no difference between the working class here and in Ireland it's the posh people who u should hate. 😊
I would have thought the opposite! I've never heard people discuss class In Ireland but constantly heard about it in England 🙈
@@Tinyboots_travels Have you ever been to poor areas of England especially in the north we have more in common with the working class in Ireland than the metropolitan elite in London. It's easy to hate without actually knowing the real people and not those that hold power.
