Love the expressions on Millie's face at times, it's like "what?". lol
When I first moved to the UK I worked as an advertising exec for a publication. Every morning whilst walking to my desk, I would wave and say good morning to all the people I passed on my way. People used to look at me askance, but after a few months, others started to do the same thing. I found this to be a good thing.
It’s absolutely a good thing! It’s a beautiful thing actually.
"I seen a subliminal advertising exec once, but only for a second." Steven wright.
Don, in Times Square, do you wave and say hi to all the hundreds of people who pass by? It's a regional thing, in a dense area it's simply not practical (I'm an American from a major city, San Jose, which has 1 million people).
@@neutrino78x I've been to 38 of the 50, and several other countries. Brits tend to be reserved in public even in work environments, unless at the pub. Aussies are much more extroverted, similar to us Americans.
@@donavandwelch
"I've been to 38 of the 50, and several other countries. Brits tend to be reserved in public"
Oh sure, but it you look at say, Los Angeles vs small maga town in Kansas, the maga in Kansas are the ones who want to randoms, most likely to try and push their religious views on us.
In a big city, you have way too many people passing by to try and wave and say hello to every single person!
Brits: Americans don't use sarcasm
Southern Americans: Bless your heart
Lol!!
we have our own sarcasms, and each is regional
or "have a nice day." My friend from Memphis calls them a southern slam.
It’s certainly not just people from the South though. I’d say most Americans are sarcastic. People in the Northeast definitely are, and I’m from the Midwest and sarcasm is big there too. I think it’s our egalitarian “nobody is inherently better than anyone else” mindset. If you’re going to voice an opinion, you’re going to get… feedback. Sometimes positive, sometimes clearly negative, but sometimes veiled/sarcastic.
@jeffg.6110 Yeah.Especially us Gen Xers.
As an American, I'd say that this couple understands far fewer things about the real US and its people than y'all do. They seem to have grasped the stereotypes, but through your reaction videos y'all have explored the nuances. One can learn far more realistic things about the people in the US from watching how people reacted to Josh & Olly, or the NZers, or the H Family, etc. visiting over here and how people treated them. --Dan
dan, do you understand that Joel and Lia also go to the major cities, and people love them there. Lia has been to New York many times and loves New York. We in major cities all have a common way of looking at the world, and isn't compatible with trump, which is why he will lose in November
@@neutrino78x, I certainly hope so. I plan to vote against that pedophile despot yet again. I hope he either winds up in prison facing life without parole, or facing a firing squad--if we can ever manage to convict him of any of his multitude of crimes. As for Joel and Lia, their video made them seem like totally unlikable people I never want to watch again. In fact, I had totally forgotten their existence, up to the point you implied I was a trump-monkey. They are quite welcome to go to any city in the world. I shall go back to ignoring their videos, but if you like them you are quite welcome to continue watching their antics. I have far better things to do with what little time I have left on this mortal coil. --Dan
I think you could have stuck another Y'all in there. LOL
@@user-rw3br9sl4j, I probably could have, but it wasn't needed in order to facilitate communication. I try to comment in my natural accent on videos, especially to the people I especially respect. As a very small-time professional writer, I can sound like a variety of differing characters as best serves the story. However, formal American English is by no means foreign to me. Nor is British English, since my wife of almost 20 years is from Southern England--Portsmouth, to be precise. My natural accent is Knoxville Nuclear Belt Educated Southern, but I tend to express myself in whatever accent I feel most comfortable using on any given occasion. I often find that being and sounding highly educated while living in the Deep Southeastern US to be somewhat of a handicap. So I became a bit of a chameleon in my speech patterns depending on the circumstances.
But to use the local vernacular, "Bless your little ol' heart..."
@@neutrino78x yeah no. You'll see. If kamala gets elected I guarantee america will crumble because itll get very rough
To be perfectly confident as an American, I'd like to say that I adore the Beesley's. This couple you are watching, not so much. In fact, not at all.
Confidently echoed.
your type -- maga -- is on the wrong side of history, and will lose in November 💯
As an American, 100% agree!!!
Watching these 2 make me appreciate both of you so much more... I would not have watched this very long if you were not here. :)
Amen to this!! Those other two are exhausting, going on and on without saying much of anything at all. The Beesleys are so much more authentic and likable.
Dennis the Menace is an example of an unbelievable coincidence , there is both a US and UK comic strip each completely independently developed, not only with the same name, but they were both first published on or about the same date in March of 1951, both featuring a boy named Dennis.
American here...Those two are ridiculous. I don't know where they're getting their information, but they should look into other sources.
and of course your username is country view homestead. Trump/maga I take it. lol
@@neutrino78x Do you know what's interesting? It is a big deal and I want you to consider this, please. When you don't agree with someone you immediately consider them a damn idiot. That is just not in my mind! At all.... I don't think you're an idiot...but I don't understand from where you are coming. Why are you so harsh with people with whom you don't agree? When I see someone that has a different viewpoint from me, the first thing I do is do some introspection. I want to get better. I'll take information and thoughts to consider. But see how you snipe immediately? It's not healthy. Everyone you don't agree with is not an idiot. I'm not an idiot and I guarantee you that you do not agree with my values. Finally, I don't think you're an idiot for disagreeing with me.
@@MBKindell
"When you don't agree with someone you immediately consider them a damn idio"
Nope. Only when they support a man whom the entire world, outside of maga, knows was a bad "President" and is a terrible person.
Anyone with any sense can see this, at this point.
If you can't, you have no sense.
While in the US Coast Guard I met many British sailors. They seemed to strike up a conversation first. They were very confident. We would hang out like old friends.
2 British people reacting to 2 British people reacting.
1 u.s. male reaction to two British reaction to two British
If you are British then you are British reacting to 2 British reacting to....
CZcams is getting meta recursive.
Inception.😂
@@derekhambleton4746 one CZcams watcher, reacting to an American, reacting to two British people reacting to two British people.
No, Americans are so sincere.
Can you feel the sarcasm?
Generally, Americans are sincere... We really are! However, this leads to several folks taking advantage of that fact...just shysters are abundant.
I stopped watching those 2 years ago, almost didn't click on this video.
Those two are awful.
@LatinRacerRX8
I watched them twice, and that was too many times.
I'm only reading the comments under this video because after seeing who they're reacting to, I don't think I'll be watching. I figured I'd get some idea about their reaction by reading the comments.
Me also. I watched a few of their videos but never subscribed. For some reason I just found them a little insincere & not anyone I would hang with IRL. Lucky me I found your channel. You two are totally relatable, funny, entertaining, open minded, & we can't forget about Archie. He's such a joy to see when we get the chance.
Same. As soon as I saw the video I just thought, "ugh not Joel and Lia."
I'm pretty sure they ended their channel some time ago. At least the one where they made videos together. Leave it to CZcams to know their stuff though.
I can relate to Millie cause Sometimes dead silence can be deafening in an awkward way.
I never realized till starting to watch foreigner CZcams creators but I think I make small talk to at least one person in every store I walk in even if it's only the cashier.
Never change❤!!
I do as well and with others in line
Exactly, we never use sarcasm here. 😉
I'm an American, thinking on the possible overall genesis of cultural confidence in the U.S. I think in part, many of our ancestors who immigrated from Europe on ships that took a month or more of hardship, sickness and uncertainly to get here, were already unique people in their society of origin. They were risk-takers who wanted to get out for whatever reasons and try something brand new. Once they arrived and enjoyed some success, that builds confidence upon confidence, especially if each generation enjoys a better lifestyle than the previous generation.
Amen
The American Spirit is the confidence. We had no choice to start - it was survival that turned into a way of life.
My friend from Scotland said he never could have had the opportunity to achieve what he did in the USA because he did not go to "the right" schools in the UK. He is now a pediatric neuro surgeon.
Honest to Pete: I have a true and dear friend straight from Scotland. He said there there were no opportunities in Scotland. I don't know one way from another. He says so. He worked for a garage door company in our area and started his own company to install and repair garage doors for folks. He is one of the most successful people I know...within 12 years of being here. He is a perfect example of success in the US. He is a millionaire now and I am not blowing smoke. It is amazing.
I'm working on 50(see how that goes). I remember the first time I said" kids today". And as soon as it came out my mouth I was " oh my God I just said that". I was in my mid 20's
Jazz. Blues, rock and roll, heavy metal, folk rock, country...
Don't forget Techno.
One reason Americans are more confident, if a rich person tries to put a poor person in their place, the poor person is not constrained by law, and therefore free to say what they want back. This promotes open courage.
Yes.. we are free to quit as well...
We don't have the false respect for elites that other places seem to.
I talk to everyone the same could care less your status nor money..
The rich seem to really let their hair down when around every day ppl whom do this.. like they can finally relax without worrying about being judged or keeping a false front on that isn't necessarily their real personality
@@virginiarobbins7539 🙂
The entertainers that sing encourage the audience to join in. They like the fact that the audience knows the words to their songs. They take that as a compliment.
I don't think-based upon my experience-that Americans are more confident. Friendly talk/small talk is just the way it is. It is common, therefore it doesn't require confidence to simply do what everyone else is doing. I think a true measure of confidence is whether a person can be comfortable giving a presentation in front of a group of classmates or coworkers. That is much more rare😉
Dude says "like" more than a valley girl😂
That explains why their conversation reminded me a high schoolers in a clique from back in the day!! (I just posted this elsewhere)
For sure.
First onstage and audience participation I saw was The Rocky Horror Picture Show back in the early 80’s.
Absolutely the best fun in the world!! We used to go to a place in St Louis, MO and participated with the movie. Soooo much fun!!! Miss that!!!!
British superheroes started in other types of media. Think James Bond, Sherlock Holmes and The Doctor.
I travel to Britain often. While I almost always initiate the conversation I have almost never had a Brit ignore/talk with me.
Dr. Who is your superhero even though he's actually from Gallifrey.
My opinion? Those people are delusional. 💜🇨🇱
Millie "... if we don't, then we're all depressed". In the words of British musician Roger Waters, "Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way".
"Time"
That's the first time I heard them say they envy Americana starting up conversations. Usually they say they think it's weird.
You expected those two to be consistent?
The same can be said about our phones They did a study here in America and they said our phones are one of the most dirtiest things we have around
I'm an introvert but still being an American for some reason if someone came up to me wanting to have a conversation, I wouldn't turn it down and I would carry it on and in a playful manner. It feels too rude to just turn them down
Love your videos but I personally feel like these guys are both very sarcastic and disingenuous. I think it's why many Americans can't stand them.
I'm reminded of a comedy routine from the 1950s. The late Gerard Hoffnung joked about being a British tour guide giving advice foreign visitors. Some of his advice included : "When entering a railway compartment, be sure to shake hands with all of the other passengers"; and "Have you tried the famous echo in the Reading Room of the British Museum?"
Hollywood is actually a neighborhood in Los Angeles, A lot of what people associate as Hollywood, the glitz, glamour is actually other neighborhoods in Los Angeles, where the rich tv & movie stars, directors, producers, etc... that are in the film/tv industry live...Beverly Hills, Bel Air etc... There is also a big difference between Hollywood, North Hollywood or East Hollywood, all 3 much lower income than the Hollywood Hills( 3x median income) ,
You definitely got that right. Hollywood is just an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County, and it’s not that great of a place. East of Highland Avenue, Hollywood is kind of a ghetto area, with many poor Hispanics. West of Highland it’s better, but it’s not where all the stars hang out. North Hollywood is kind of an uninteresting area, just a housing suburb, but if you go South of Sunset, West Hollywood is very glitzy and expensive and a place where you mind find a few stars. But then, West Hollywood is its own City (incorporated in 1984) and was never even a part of the City of Los Angeles. Worst part of LA is the traffic. It’s horrible, which is why I’d avoid it. Northern California is really the best part of the State, especially along the coast in the San Francisco Bay Area.
At least thats where wheel of fortune is being recorded and Jeporady.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld neither of those programs are anything to get excited about.
Hollywood is a dump
they mean hollywood as in the metaphor representing the movie industry and/or desirable areas here in California 🙂
I can't hear Natural Woman without thinking of that '90s-ish Herbal Essence commercial with that lady singing it in the shower and her husband comes in at the end and she goes "Steven!"
Judge dredd is classic 80s dark dystopia. Basically the judge is literally judge, jury, and executioner in a police state dystopia. It’s quite popular in the states only because image comics took the rights
To worry about the many hands that money goes through is quite silly. Every time you leave your home you will touch thousands of things touched millions of times.
"Dreaming of a cashless society" is a really NPC mindset. The lack of foresight is kind of amazing.
Yes, in a world of people getting their bank accounts canceled for wrongthink, let's give power over everyone's livelihoods solely to the government/banks (same thing). Genius.
Really? Do you also lick floors since we traverse them? Money is dirty. I don't think anyone can argue otherwise. This is a weird take.
@@walkerlocker6126 Just because we touch the same things touched by money every time we're in public. Your assertion is absurd.
@@walkerlocker6126everything is dirty, and filled with micro organisms and germs and bacteria. This is life.
might as well wear latex gloves all day, the human body builds up resistance to germs I believe , or we'd of all died off a long time ago.JMO
ELVIS PRESLEY…yes…but even before Elvis…CHUCK BERRY…and LITTLE RICHARD…and BUDDY HOLLY and THE CRICKETS…and JIMMIE REED…and BILL HALEY and HIS COMETS…AND MORE…❤️🎶
Preach. Plus it's known that Elvis grew up in the hood and went to a black Baptist Church. That's where his music roots came from. And Elvis hired black musicians and singers even though it was not acceptable 💕
Ike Turner and the other person's name escapes me are credited for creating rock n' roll.
I almost didnt watch when i saw who it was .
Why don't you like them? They seem pretty positive.
@@AndrewSmith-qw5kt I find them incredibly annoying and not very bright. What made me block their channel from being suggested, was when they visited Hooters without doing any research. They were incredulous that all the waitresses had big boobs, and didn't bother trying to food that Hooters is famous for.
If you're talking about joel and Lia, you're right, they always seemed really snooty.
@@AndrewSmith-qw5kt Too many Americans took Joel and Lia too seriously. They won't accept that it's not serious.
@@AndrewSmith-qw5kt they seemed nice when i first started watching them , now they seem uppity .
Watched as long as I could, can’t do it. You folks are my number one reaction channel so no slight on you whatsoever. Can’t identify with them though. 🤠
I think they are quite naïve they come to the US a handful if times and think they know? How arrogant
The Brits contribution to music in America is HUGE. You guys are always very humble in that respect. I grew up during the "British Invasion" era and credit British artists with playing a huge role in shaping my love for music.
There are some good bands from the U.S. but the bands from the U.K. in my opinion are just so much better. The cure, which I feel are the greatest band ever, would not be the same if they were from the U.S., maybe it's the gloomy weather in England.
I think you have that backwards. You do know that those British bands like the Beatles, were heavily influenced by American music and artist, right?
@kikibigbangfan3540 Where did I say that British music wasn't influenced by American music? I said British music played a huge role in shaping my love for music. Read more carefully.
@@johns1385 um...the first part. "The British contribution to music in America is HUGE." Most of what they were doing came from here to begin with.
No Beatles or Rolling Stones without America.
Harry Potter is the best British super hero.
The original Denis the Menis was an American comic strip from the 1950s.
Yes our Dennis the Menis is Golden Blonde haired.
Also, our Dennis the Menace was first published in 1951. What’s the date on the British one? I always assumed that theirs was later; just as we took the idea of “Sanford and Son” from one of their TV shows. But, maybe I’m wrong.
@@courtneyraymer6586 I imagine you're probably right on that since we have the monkees and they had the beetles.😊
Ike Turner and Rocket 88 started Rock and Roll on a national scale in the 50s.
Sorry, I could only make it halfway through. I can't take much more than 10 minutes of Joel and Lia, and even that is a bit of a stretch. LOL
Yeah, maybe it's a good thing they went their separate ways. They were so insufferable together.
@@melisamontgomery1846Yeah they just come off as so snooty, not like the down to earth Beesleys and their family.
Sorry but I would much rather hear your opinions on things than Joel and Lia rambling on and on…
LMFAO....Is that what Joel REALLY thinks happened when they landed on Plymouth Rock ..... 😂😂
Did the Brits ever talk to the Romans when there were there??? 😂
elvis isn't the one who started rock and roll it was chuck berry and little Richard
Actually, it was Alan Freed.
Absolutely right! He was followed by Bill Haley & The Comets. Chuck Berry and Little Richard were influenced by rhythm and blues singers like BB King and Ruth Brown. Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry were the first white singers to sing it in the style of the rhythm and blues singers.
@@courtneyraymer6586. 😂 Chuck Barry wasn't white. He was black. 🤣
@briansmith48 You’re right! I meant to say Buddy Holly. Sorry about that! 🥴🤪
There is an American Dennis the Menace.
It's a completely different comic with completely different characters and they were thought of completely independently of one another.
And they began their runs on like the same week or maybe even same day. It was some insane coincidence.
So improbable that it could've propelled a starship all the way to Magrathea.
Literature: that's one I gotta give to you Brits. 😁
as far as superhero you guys have 007.
Yes, us Americans don't understand sarcasm at all... 😛
Ironic she says American music is the Genesis of music.
Born, raised, still living in the United States.
Genesis, the British band, is my favorite group😂😂
Lol!
Joel and Lia do it for humor, Joel's family has a 2nd home in Florida. He has gone to the US his whole life. They both went to acting school so they use extreme sarcasm.
I had no idea there is a British Dennis the Menace. Lol
yes we had dennis the menace. including a tv show in the 60s
Yes, Jay North played him.
British Dennis the menace & American debuts the menace are different, different writers, with different stories, yet the same general premise.
Love the comparison of Joel to Forest Gump! LOL
We Can be Sincere But Also Sarcastic as all Get out!😂 example is in the South if they say Bless Your Heart! They're Calling You a Moron.
Are they really?
Not always. You have to listen to the tone & inflection.
If you do something stupid, yes.
If you fall ill or something. It’ll be a genuine & heart felt.
Sometimes.
Piece of advice guys...Bring both cash (converted to dollars) and your credit/debit
cards with you when you come to the US. As for sincerity...you can hide behind a wall
using sarcasm but you have to let your guard down to be sincere.
I think Hollywood is more of a concept, movies are not normally made in Hollywood.
Not anymore. It's too expensive. Movies are made in Canada now. They have a special tax credit to lure in filming executive's.
I carry cash. I love our coins.
When you mention the British Awards I've never heard of them around anybody here in the states
There was a Captain Britain comic book. This was long after Captain America started, but it's at least a British superhero. It was basically a British version of Captain America, same powers if I recall and same origin possibly.
Dennis the Menace (American version) was a popular newspaper single-square comic that has been running since 1951, even surviving the death of its creator. The US Dennis was blonde and freckled, and could usually be seen with a slingshot in his back pocket. He was forever tormenting his old-man neighbor Mr. Wilson. The strip inspired a TV series of the same name, which lasted from 1959-63.
Hollywood has a few cool places to see especially around the studios and the Hollywood sign etc. If you are looking for the famous people your talking Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Malibu and Studio City.
Motivational speakers... Have you not seen our cheerleaders at high schools and college sports stadiums?
We have 'motivational speakers' coming out of the woodwork at every level. ;)
Cash is king. If cash goes away, so does privacy and free choices.
Chuck Berry is the father of Rock & Roll...
I've lived half-way between Disneyland and Hollywood my whole life. It's Las Vegas that's my favorite trip, though, and partly because I also love driving through the desert. I love the Joshua trees, cactus, all of it.
There are British superheroes. Marvel has Captain Britain, Psylocke, Union Jack, Spitfire, Black Knight, Micromax. Peggy Carter/Captain Carter.
Irish: Banshee, Siryn, Shamrock, Irish Wolfhound.
I believe DC has John Constantine.
Doctor Who.
Just off the top of my head. There were British comic books in the Golden Age.
Marvelman, Knights of Pendragon, Clan Destine, and more.
I always thought Brits were very confident. There’s also nothing like British sense of humor. My great grandmother migrated from London to America when she was 17, she lived to be 104yrs old, had her sound mind & sense of humor till the end.
America may have invented rock and pop music, but you guys have produced some of the best and most famous bands and artists in those genres.
So don't sell yourselves short.
British gave the world "The Beatles"
The Beetles learned from hearing American artists.
They were a cover band before they hit it big.
@@briansmith48 Yes, but no one was going to Bo Diddley concerts. If it hadn't been for the Rolling Stones bringing along some of those old blues artists to tour alongside them, no one would have heard of those artists.
@@rightlyso8507 . Those blues artists were still huge in America at that time. BB King, Bo Diddly ect...
@@briansmith48 They surely weren't anywhere near as popular as they became after they'd toured with the rock bands and/or had their songs recorded by them. I believe it was BB King, as well as some others, that said as much.
The ability to talk to strangers is not just a confidence thing. It's so much more than that. I would say that a good part of it is just curiosity or the drive to acquire information. When you're out and about, and you need to know something that you can't get from Google at the moment, you have to ask other people, and because we're not so obsessed with the Class system like Europe is, the other person will be more than happy to help you in your inquiry.
We got to see the opening of Mama Mia on Broadway, it was brilliant. Someone in the audience had consumed a tad too much alcohol and thought it was a sing-along-long. Only a couple lines into the first song a very quiet, but solemn, man came over and whispered in this man’s ear. They quietly got up and followed him out.
I really want to know what he said to get this couple to leave so quick and quietly. They were directly in from of us, we were glad to see them go, but still’d like to know how this man made that happen.
Sing in your head, don’t disrupt everyone else’s experience, just because alcohol lied to you and told you can sing like Maria Carrie, YOU CAN’T!
Is a TV show here in the US that played back in I believe 1959 or'60s😎
Many people from other countries will disagree, but we Americans are the friendliest people on Earth, except for, maybe, Canadians. We are also the most blunt people on Earth. If you piss us off, you are going to know about it right then and there, especially in an environment where we are footing the bill, like a hotel or restaurant. If you are friendly, we take note of it. We love to talk and we love being American. Some of the best conversations I have ever had has been with people who's names I still don't know. In order to understand the myriad cultures that make up this country you have to actually spend some real time here. Not just visiting once or twice. I was born in Southern California and have lived in the Midwest, the South, and the Southwest. They are all the same, yet very distinct from each other. I've been looked at like I'm from another planet when I've asked for something common in one part of the country and totally unheard of in another part of the country.
The USA is the world’s entertainment nation, movies, tv, music, superheroes. This is like advertising for us, others want to visit, buy our movies and music, learn American English as the standard, etc. It has worked well.
Barbecue is low and slow only. Some call barbecuing when they are grilling, different things. I worked in a top-notch restaurant, and steaks were cooked on a broiler (kinda a grill). Had cooks on sauté station, and another was the broilerman.
The British has so many awesome bands & singers as well . Growing up as a teenager in the late 80s & also the club scene in Houston Texas there were more Brittish bands heard in the clubs with New Wave & industrial music. In the 80s with so many great bands it was literally called the British invasion( with great music)
The 80's British invasion was actually the second one.
The first started with the Beetles. 😊
The 80's, good times. 👍
Greetings from Colorado, USA!!!✌I'm glad you made it over here and got to see a bit of America! Your sweet little boy is precious! Love watching your videos! I'v been subscribed for awhile now. Thank you so much, and come back soon!!
Marvel and DC comics were the major creators of super heros
I thought for sure someone would say air conditioning.
Dennis the Menace was big in the US decades ago.... like 1950's maybe? Kinda like Flintstones...I saw a British family talking about them watching it all the time. Flintstones were big here in the 70's
I love British comedy!
The social class went by the wayside when the peasant’s unit to overthrow the system in 1776
I remember in the late '60's going to get donuts On Sunday mornings then stopping at a store to get Comic books or teen magazines. Those were some good times.
They were a bit long winded but are the sweetest ppl though so I could enjoy sitting a day with them❤
The Brits had some really great Rock especially in the late sixties through the early seventies and they also had really good New Wave Music
The only thing i find odd about European's is that you could walk past someone and not acknowledge their existence. This isn't a criticism, it's just an observation of something i don't understand. Thanks guys, great reaction!
I find in larger cities such as Toronto and Vancouver, people are less likely to start a conversation or engage in small talk where as in smaller communities that's not necessarily the case.
Sarcasm is alive and well in some parts of the USA. Like New York City, Boston, Philadelphia (the north east in general). Interestinfly I think the North East is the most like Great Brittain in general any way.
No we're not
Confidence.? Honestly, I've never thought about it really. I was raised down south and from the time I was little, I was told to speak to people that are around you. I pass people, and generally say" Hey , how's it going? " We just try to do our best, be our best. Sometimes it doesn't happen but we tried it. Tomorrow is a new day.
I dont know who those people are y'all are watching, but I tuned them out. They started rambling, I checked out.😂 I cant respond to the rest cause I was waiting for them to stop.
Lia is great "Joel continues to contradict himself saying how he doesn't like things,and then says he does.
The American Dennis the Menace came out the same day as the UK title, in 1951 but was completely different.
The talk to strangers thing is definitely regional. In a dense area -- most of us live in dense areas -- I mean, even if you WANTED to say hello to everyone who passes by, it's simply not practical. Try doing that in Piccadilly Circus or Times Square, where hundreds of people are passing by every minute! I think in a city, there's an understanding that people are have places to go, things to see, and people to do. lol 🙂 Whereas in small rural towns, the pace is slower and people are more likely to want to make small talk. That's my experience 🙂
