It boils down to one statement I heard years ago: "In the UK one hundred miles is a long way. In the US 100 years is a long time."
I wonder how people will say this :I
In Europe, if you ask someone how far it is to a city, they'll give you the distance in kilometres or miles. In the US and Canada, they'll give you the distance in the time it takes to get there....
@@coasterguy so so true. Sometimes we'll give both but ur right's usually we say how long (give or take) it takes to get there at what speed.
@@meghanschuler4739 "Hey when you getting to Phil's?"
"I'll be there in 10."
"Don't you lie to me, this is important."
"Calm down will ya? You drive like my grandmother and that's a fact."
@@foxygamer1337 I said give or take lmao. Fair enough tho.
That part about murder in Yellowstone was mostly true but it was recently fixed for obvious problematic leagal reasons. Im from Montana btw.
No, it wasn't mostly true. Federal statutes have been around since 1789, and they are revised every six years. They were only first published in 1926 though.
@Donk Fish exactly. It's not that u won't be arrested it's that no one lives there so u cant be convicted for murder without a jury of ur peers. So eventually they have to let u go.
@Donk Fish Tut-tut. The point is that the jury of peers has to be selected from "where the crime was committed", not from "where you live". Meghan Schuler gets the point.
@Donk Fish Where the crime was committed, not where the murdered was from. I'm so confused how this is going over your head.
@Donk Fish Another visitor to the park, you seem confused about the wrong thing. If two people visit the park from another state and one kills the other, the authorities won't have the trial back in the other state. That's not how it works, it happens in the state the crime took place in. It seems like you think only one person can visit this park at a time, that's not true either. There's thousands of visitors to Yellowstone a year, many of them injured by buffalo because they're stupid.
I am glad the one bloke, who lived in America for 12 years, liked it. Far too many videos on CZcams downgrade America and its culture. It's nice to see and hear something positive about America once in a while.
Great place to live 👍🏻
People just hate to hate. Without getting to actually know it.
Americans are far too sensitive about their country and yes regrettably I am American
Konformation07 everyone is protective of their homeland. America is a cool place to live, try it and see is what I say. 👍🏻
@@officeblokedaz I like the geography. I live in Washington state in the northwest and some of the people are nice but the politics and politicians of the country as a whole are disgusting and I hate it. Lots of ignorance amongst the people as well.
However, no place on Earth is perfect and I will never claim that. I've been to the UK and I enjoyed it even though I'm sure you would have plenty of criticisms about it.
However unlike other countries Americans more than any other country really lash out at the mere criticism of it. Yet America's actions on the world stage are indeed worthy of criticism.
Great video and the US is a big and varied place.
im early but kansas city is actually in both kansas and missouri
Kansas City, MO and Kansas City, KS are two separate cities. KCMO dwarfs KCKS.
@@LG123ABC Kinda, sorta. They may be legally different entities for obvious reasons But geographically, it's effectively city. If one were to take a satellite view without borders, it would look like one city. One can drive through parts of it and cross over state borders multiple times.
Either way, the original video is not correct in its claim.
Hi L.G. 😊 I grew up in KCK ❤. Been in South Carolina since 1975 and back when I was in KC the "KCK vs. KC, Mo." questions, arguments, statements, etc. Were an everyday thing then, too. I guess it will be FOREVER!!! LOL
@@DianaJG8 So true. I was an Army brat stationed at Fort Leavenworth in the early 90's, but made many a trip to KC.
It's also where I developed my love for football and been a Chiefs fan ever since.
Kansas City, Kansas is as much Kansas City, Missouri as Prairie Village, Kansas is Kansas City, Missouri. It's the same metropolitan area.
You guys really should react to "The American Civil War: Oversimplified." You already reacted to Oversimplified's video on the American Revolution; I think you guys would absolutely love it.
Yes, that was a particularly good one IMO.
Always interesting to see non-American's reactions to it, since they usually have no idea about most of what went down.
There are some significant inaccuracies and misconceptions in that video.
They have
@@joshclouse7378 nah that was Lav Luka, bromethius.
I mean I’m a little mad that when they talked about New York, they only talked about the city. Bruh that shouldn’t even be considered New York State. Upstate has beautiful farmland and mountains and so much more.
Hey Ann 🌹
@@danjumohmuhammed1945 first of all you forgot an a. Second of all stop creeping on girls bro
i can say the same when they mention california, like not everyone lives in LA and not everyone here works in hollywood. Cali is way more than all of that and New York is much more than just time square and skyscrapers..
@@evelyndelao9372 mhm
@@evelyndelao9372 Hey Evelyn
I’m from Portland and it’s definitely very hipster, but since it’s known as being very progressive and liberal that makes the opposition louder. It’s a city where political ideologies are turned to 100 at all times lol
god bless you man. i would get so fatigued by all the politics. I'm in Atlanta and we got a taste of it this year. so glad it's all over...for now :-/
@@demondeacon5175 it’s so strange because Portland is known as being super progressive (and it is) but it’s also got a crazy amount of white supremacists and nazi groups because they want to take on all the liberals. so there’s hardly a time where there’s not clashes
@@WTDProductions Yeah I heard that the Pacific Northwest has that problem.
I was there for 10 days, I enjoyed it. But man there are so many homeless, and I’ve never heard so many people talk about politics so openly wherever they happen to be. I’d definitely go back just for the food.
@@chenstormstout9456 I love Portland, but you have to be ready for how extreme the politics are. And the homeless problem is growing so fast because of how quickly Portland is growing in population but the housing prices are insane
He is wrong about kansas city, There is 2 parts of the city that are in both states.
Agreed. KCMO and KCK. You have to have lived in in KC to pick that out though. Plus Leawood and Mission Hills also span the state line.
@@rich7447 Yep
That's what I thought
I heard him say that and thought the exact same way. I've been to KC tons of times, both in MO and KS. I think that guy might want to do a little more research.
@@rich7447 I live in IN and I know he said it wrong.
It's not only a big country, but almost every significant chunk of it has something there, unlike Russia, Canada, China, Brazil and Australia.
Btw, some of the freight trains are looooooooooong.
New York appeared to run out of original names for towns. There's:
Amsterdam NY
Angola, NY
Athens, NY
Babylon, NY
Belfast, NY
Berlin, NY
Cairo, NY
Corinth, NY
Cuba, NY
Dunkirk, NY
Eden, NY
Frankfort, NY
Geneva, NY
Hamburg, NY
Ithaca, NY
Lima, NY
Liverpool, NY
... you get the idea.
Well at least there's Hell's Kitchen..
It's because it was the entry point for millions of immigrants from all over the world for several years...and also one of the earlier settlements of the British that later became Americans.
If you research you'll find that Many states have names from other places. Not really a biggie.
Hi Guys, in the part of the U.S. called "New England" which was a nickname provided by the earliest settlers from England, you will find duplicates of almost every town or city in England. New England is made of of 6 states. Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maine and Massachusetts. In those states, especially Massachusetts, you will definitely find duplicate names from England. A few examples are Boston, Plymouth, Haverill, Peabody, Framingham, Taunton, Lynn, Weymouth, Duxbury, Worcester, Leicester (and dozens more) etc. There are even more when you thrown in the other states. You can find towns and cities here which were named after the original cities and towns in England if you really wanted to look for them online.
I live in Virginia and work in television. In 2007, the 400 year anniversary of Jamestown (the first permanent British settlement in America) I came to England to trace the roots and people who made Jamestown happen. It's fascinating how many town, county and city names in Virginia are taken from towns in England and of course, our native American languages.
There are five towns named 'Coventry' in the U.S.: In the states of Vermont, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Ohio
Kentucky as well.
I learned more about America watching these British guys learn about America, than I have learned about America in America in the past decade.
...... What state are you in, because I learned all this stuff in school in Idaho?
There's Coventry, Rhode Island about 30 minutes from me lol
We have that in Cleveland too
There's a Coventry in connecticuit too
@@amishlaptop 216 represent!!!
My brother lives in Coventry, R.I.!!
Also in NY, Conn, Vermont and Ohio
The lake pontchartrain bridge is freaky. It just keeps going and going. You see NOLA off in the distance for forever and it just never gets any closer.
21:00 the USA is a country made of 50 semi-independent countries.
there are so many towns with British-related names here. I grew up next to the town of Sussex myself.
I live in Dewey county in Oklahoma which is over a 1200 square miles and doesn’t have one single stop light.
Ewwww Dewey, jk. I live in aslut
I envy you. I live in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, and we have some stop lights so close together, you can only fit a couple of cars between them. It's like the city planners just went insane with the stop lights.
keep up the good work guys! much love from the US.
Thanks!
@@OfficeBlokes Meanwhile, we are like porno to you. You recoil in disgust, but can't stop watching us, you know what I mean? Why? Thank goodness there is an ocean between us, not even having a war to get rid of you has worked. You don'g get a hint, do you?
It's long -- many episodes -- but the Stephen Fry in America documentary is great, especially for non-Americans. All of them are here on CZcams. Cheers!
Loved that Stephen Fry doc. My favorite part was the football game in Alabama. That brief part of one episode pretty much summed up his entire adventure.
Not joking, there is a Coventry in Pennsylvania
Coventry.. like witches or somethin?
There’s witches in a lot of places in America to be fair

Minnesota, birthplace of the Mississippi River, where it starts its journey south to the Gulf of Mexico over 2500 miles away. People flock to Itasca State Park to say they "walked across the Mississippi River", because where it flows out of Lake Itasca its no deeper than your knees and maybe only 20ft wide.
My pride as a bloke who grew up in Nebraska, now living in Texas, watching British blokes cheer a Nebraska town of one’s mayor for granting herself liquor licenses. I love CZcams.
As a resident of Pennsylvania,i'm sick and tired of them bringing up Centralia as the main thing for the state...forget about Gettysburg,Valley Forge,declaration of independence and basically the birth of America... no no no...must always bring up damn Centralia.
JAKE the KANGAL I mean it’s basically part of Kentucky. But I have to ask as a New Jersey resident, why can’t you guys drive?
because its unique and interesting place. Being in Indiana I could say the same about the Speedway when theres a lot of other things in the state but it is what it is.
Try being a resident of West Virginia.

@@Nonchalluminati Absolutely crazy haha. Was a good friend, your comment made me think of her and I ended up sending a what's up text 😂
Growing up there before the mall was built, I can remember when the downtown JCPenney and Sears stores had escalators. The airport had them, too. I think the Lou Taubert store did.
Good ol Casper lol. I'm from Rock Springs myself
That was more interesting than I thought it would be! You guys really do find great video topics!
Thank-you for learning about my/our country, blokes.
I’ve had some Europeans friends criticize Americans for not caring about the world outside of the US and noted our extremely low levels of multilingual people.
My response to them was the US is larger than Europe and that I’ve visited 37 out of the 50 states and that took many years to do and by visit I mean I stayed in those States at least 24 hours. So I had traveled over the US more then they had Europe. I also pointed out that I could drive from Miami Florida to Anchorage Alaska and never have to speak any language but English. That’s the equivalent of driving from London to Beijing.
So yes, Americans care very much about what happens in the rest of the world but let’s be reasonable. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to pay attention to what is happening in 50 sovereign States?
So I do think that’s a rather unfair criticism.
from where I live in the US anywhere I can drive within a day almost two days still speaks English
Well said, bravo! Another point is that the US is represented by pretty much every culture from around the world, as people have emigrated from their countries to the US. I have visited “China Town” in Los Angeles and San Francisco and they are very close communities to their mainland families. So if we want to experience their culture, we don’t have to look very far. I live in Texas and have visited many of the states in this video and there is so much more to each state than this, that we can never fully learn everything.
Didnt you just prove their point....
@@emycakes8663 i dont think op was really trying to prove them wrong, just say that its unfair to call us selfish when we’re in a much different situation than people in, say, a european country.
@@emycakes8663 No. Not really. I’ve also traveled to other foreign nations like the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Mexico, Canada, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, China, Japan, Philippines and Texas.
I've been across that bridge in Louisiana several times and it is absolutely true. It's kind of creepy crossing it and not being able to see any land.
I feel for you... I'm in FL and went across the 4 mile bridge and couldn't see land.. it's weird and you start thinking about what if your car fell from that high up, etc.
International Falls Minnesota (the point on top) is one of the coldest places in the US. Because the Canadian Jet Stream dips at that point, into northern Minnesota. You can have winter temperatures around -30C with a 40 mph wind, bringing temperatures to -75C. The Lakes on all three sides basically are an ice box.
im from virginia and it is misleadingly huge :) i live in the western side of the state and it takes me 5 hours to drive to the beach
My family's best friends live in Ewing/Rose Hill area
The road without cars in Michigan is on Mackinac Island in Lake Huron. It is a major tourist attraction. The people who live there call the tourist fudgies. There are several shops on the island that make fudge. The Mackinac Bridge connects the upper and lower half of Michigan. The bridge is 5 miles long. Beautiful country.
Hey hey hey. I’m from Oregon and it is beautiful The people who actually live in Portland are not from Oregon they have moved here. Go outside of Portland into the Suburbs and the Country side and you will meet some of the most friendly and outgoing people. Also it is 1 of the top ten beautiful states to visit.... 🤗
Peachtree City, Georgia resident here. Cool to see our little golf cart city mentioned on this one. Good video.
A lot of counties in the mid Atlantic still have Britain royalty names. Like King George County and Prince William County in VA or Prince George County in MD
North Carolina where I live. I live at the base of the mountains it takes 5 and a half hours to get to the beach. Nc has mountains, hills, flat plains, and beaches. And is the 9th largest state in the us
South Carolina, at the base of those same mountains. Hey neighbor!
And really creepy trees. With that vine or what ever taking over.
@@AnimalAce Kudzu? It's supposedly native to Japan, I've heard. I remember seeing it all over as a kid, but don't notice it as much now (I'll be 50 in a month). I do know it's still fairly rampant in GA; my brother lives in north GA and there's quite a bit of the stuff around there.
@@KG-xt4oq Maybe im remembering south Carolina, I just remember it was creepy.
@@AnimalAce No, you're correct. I remember seeing it around a lot as a kid, just not as much now...was born in NC and live in NC now.
Tip... Most Americans rail at the idea the US is too big. It just encourages the secessionists which are a statistically insignificant demographic. I'm from Effingham... Kansas. :)
It always makes me bristle to hear someone from another country suggest that America is too big to be one country. We are Americans, we grew up with our identity as one nation. I have lived in several states, some quite far from the others,.... was always America.
Max Jones is from Kansas (I have never been to Kansas) and I am SURE Max Jones is just as American as I am. Driving from Miami to NY to spend Christmas with my grandparents (picking up my uncle in Philadelphia on the way) was just as normal as going to my cousin's wedding in San Antonio [that cousin's sister will be getting married this summer in North Carolina], or my sister's graduation ceremony in Washington D.C.
Sure you can travel from Los Angeles to Kansas to New York and there will be differences in dialect, fashion, food, and political ideas. But not more than Brighton, Manchester, and Morpeth. Or, if they are even more different, that is great, it is a big country, room for all of them.
((If I had been born and raised in 1 country in Europe, I'm sure I would feel the opposite way. I understand that, it is how we are programmed from birth.)) The same way we are programmed from birth to think of ourself as one country. In elementary school, my Spanish teacher was Cuban, my History teacher was from Hong Kong, and my homeroom teacher was the grandchild of slaves (and most of my teachers graduated university in some other state), that just seems normal to us.
@@VideoNozoki We haven't had a shared identity as Americans since like 1965, lol.
@@VideoNozoki Exactly. I've traveled all over the country working and when I pulled into town I could by instinct know where to find whatever I was looking for. I can remember thinking every town is so like every other town and I was wondering if that's good or bad.
When you go to Europe... what's the first thing they say to you... "I could tell you were American."
You know that if we weren't 50 states as big with economies as large as most countries... we wouldn't have gone to the moon or many other things future and past.
The town I grew up in in New England is twinned with the town of the same name in the UK. We’ve got a slick little commemorative bench and everything
There is both a Coventry and Kent, Ohio near where I grew up. Love you blokes.
massachusetts here you cheeky office blokes
Always liked this US video.
Wendover has other good videos, e.g., How Aircraft Carriers Work, US Overseas Military Base Strategy, etc.
In Connecticut there’s a lot of English towns/cities. New London, Essex, Manchester, Coventry, East/South Windsor, Avon and plenty more
My grandparents live on magnolia River, in magnolia springs, Alabama, and they do still deliver mail by boat. I lived there for about 5 years, most peaceful place on earth.
"I think that is to big to be a country"
Well actually each state acts almost like it's own country but we are tied together under the constitution and each state has its own laws and taxes people will even think of thier own state before the rest of the country most of the time for example I am a North Dakotan but originally was an Iowan I would say this to people from another state but If I were in another country becuase of how many states there are I would just say I'm an American also each state has thier own unique accent even if you can't hardly tell its there
I was about to type this, and am also from NoDak.
Every state has its own governor, who basically acts as the prime minister of that state

There is actually a bill working it's way through the Texas state legislature to allow us to hold a referendum on Texas secession.
There's a shopping center in my hometown in Indiana called the Village at Coventry.

The light is at the intersection of Route 23 and Clinton Road It's actually two lights, but the combined wait time at the intersection is nearly five minutes. But you can turn right on red in NJ.

As an Arizonan, I'm disappointed that the only mention of my state is a tiny town of six people and the Four Corners (which I guess was one more thing than New Mexico, but still...). :P

Hi from Louisiana 💜⚜️🖤
Have a good day!
I love the reactions of america!
Cheers blokes. There are actually 5 cities/towns in the U.S. called Coventry. They are primarily in the northeast part of the country, commonly referred to as New England, so that stands to reason. Enjoy your videos.

The Yellowstone thing is technically wrong. You'll get prosecuted.
i wish i read this yesterday.. hmm
Not technically wrong. 100% wrong. All national parks are federal land and the land is only managed by the state it's in and does not belong to it. Federal land has it's own statutes to ensure that people can't get away with crimes like murder. The crime then becomes a federal crime and the penalties are much more severe than any state crime. Narrator had no idea what he was talking about there.
@@time.worn-soul8243 but they still can have jury of their peers. If there are no peers, there technically is no trial

Hello, Guys! I learned about the game, "How many U.S. cities can you name?", when another British guy recorded his effort at playing it. Had he chosen, "Every State", his results would have been better, as that option automatically fills in redundant names like, "Kansas City", "Las Vegas", "Los Alamos", "Roswell", "Washington", "Springfield", et cetera, et al. May you guys outscore him! ☺👍🖖

"I'll bet it's proper cold" in Minnesota... I used to live in Houston where it was proper HOT for most of my life. Now I live in Canada. I used to think that it was just useless trivia that -40 degrees was the same in both F and C. Now I live up here and I realize that this is a thing that happens.
If you guys haven't seen it already and have some time to kill at home, you should watch "Stephen Fry: In America." (It's on YT -- six one hour parts and a twenty minute bonus.) It's over a decade old now, but still great.

I'm calling hogwash on that longest red light.

I've watched the opposing light and turn lane go through 3 rotations even when nobody is waiting to turn until mine went. I know I've been through 5 minutes a couple times. Sometimes I just go across when its all clear after waiting a good 3 minutes and the next rotation skips me again

Yeah he's not kidding about the waitlist for Packer season tickets in Wisconsin, my grandfather put all three of his kids' names on the waitlist when they were born.
I lived in Colorado for quite a number of years. Mount Elbert is considered the highest peak in Colorado. However, Mount Massive is a more difficult hike to the top due to the length of the trails, and the trails are longer because mount massive has more...mass.
I've been through Portland, Oregon in 2017 and I absolutely hated the city. Almost every street sidewalk was just tents of homeless people. The entire city center a shanty town. I expected clean air, cool modern people and trendy shops and I got my illusions ruined.
What I expected from Portland, I found in Seattle. Despite the claims it has a huge homeless issue, I saw none. City smells of coffee, modern art sculptures everywhere, steep hills like San Francisco, pleasant people and view of water. Even the cops were nice and bought me and my friends some pastries. I guess it can be an expensive to live in though.
Saw the thing about "Coventry". Thought I'd add that there is a city named "Greenville" in EVERY state. 😊
Speaking of English named places in the USA, I grew up in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania which is East of York, Pennsylvania. Lancaster's symbol is the red rose and York's is the white rose. Both counties compete with each other so the War of the Roses continues.
It's so big you can have weather extremes hot and cold at the same time . Most states have a culture that's all their own and accents from state to state is like different country's.

I am from Mattoon, Illinois Home of the Burger King mentioned in this video. It actually started out as an Ice Cream stand, Frigid Queen lol. When they started selling burgers they wanted a suitable name for that part of the business so they came up with the mate name Burger King.
Portland is a great town with unique, generally friendly people. If someone was angry, I can't even imagine what someone did to get them that way!
NEW YORK CITY IS THE WORST PART OF THE STATE... WE UPSTATE NEW YORKERS GET *NO* RESPECT.
Nah, dude. NYC is vibrant and has culture. Upstate is pretty stagnant and its best years are behind it. Believe me I know, I lived in Syracuse for five years.
Shhhh, why ruin the secret. Let's keep the 180 parks to ourselves.

OIC, "in a few years". Gotta wait on the parole board.

Office Blokes React, he blew it on Kansas City when he said it's not in Kansas. It's divided between Kansas and Missouri, with the larger of the 2 in Missouri by more than 3 times.

Here’s a fun fact I learned about Nevada that I learned when I moved to Las Vegas in 1979.....the speed limit on most roads was “whatever is safe and reasonable “, unless a speed limit is posted. With only 2 major cities in the state at that time, Reno and Las Vegas, with 439 miles separating the two, meant a lot of open road ahead 😫😵. I don’t know if that law still exists, but in the 30 years I lived there, much of the roads now have posted speed limits.
Oregon's tiny park was orginally going to be the site of a power pole (or telephone pole) but the city forgot about it. An Irish immigrant who ran a news paper 📰 decided to put a tree in the spot and declared it a park. Even attaching some Irish folklore to it about leprechauns.
The park was added to the Guinness book of records. A few years ago a town in England tried to contest the legitimacy of it saying that it has no fence (a weak excuse) when Portland natives found out about the claim they rushed to the mini park and put up a small plastic fence. They saved it's spot in the book of records.

a 'set' of escalators would be 2 (1 up, 1 down), so 2 sets would be a total of 4, wouldn't it ?
Centralia Pennsylvania has a really interesting story because of that fire. It was a town that is now completely gone because of that fire. Everyone had to move. There's a documentary on it on CZcams. Its crazy because grass and everything grew back you wouldn't know there was actually a town. It like completely disappeared
Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont all have towns named Coventry. In Ohio there is a township (as well as a village) also named Coventry.
