Hi everyone! I'm an American from the Northeast (New England). I want to create a watering hole for people who want to discuss, learn and teach about history through CZcams videos which you guys recommend to me through the comment section or over on Discord. Let's be respectful but, just as importantly, not be afraid to question any and everything about historical records in order to give us the most accurate representation of the history of our species and of our planet!
Having a diverse perspective is crucial to what I want to achieve here so please don't hold back! I want to learn about all I can! Keep recommending and PLEAESE join my Discord :) ( / discord )

I'm the guy who gave the rainfall figures for London and Rhode Island. (Maybe others did too.)
The linguistics of time like 'seven forty five' comes from digital clocks, but 'quarter to eight' comes from analogue, like its a quarter of the clock face, so its not really about brevity. America seems to have gone more verbally digital, and UK stayed more analogue. And 'half seven' just means 'seven thirty' because its a stripped down form of 'half past seven'.
I think the mistake he's making there is assuming that the phrase "seven forty-five" predates the phrase "quarter-to-eight"; ie that people used to say "seven forty-five", but then started saying "quarter-to-eight" instead. He's saying that he doesn't understand why you would go from saying "seven forty-five" to "quarter-to-eight" because the latter phrase is longer than the former. What he doesn't seem to understand is that it was actually the other way around; people would originally say "quarter-to-eight", but then started saying "seven forty-five" because it's shorter (and, as you pointed out, because of the advent of digital clocks).
I was in London and visited the Towern. The guide there had a big group of tourists and asked: Are there any Americans here? A few yeses were heard and the guide asked: Are you here to learn the language? I laughed my socks off.
Was it a Yeoman Warder tour? Cause that sounds just like a Bill Callahan joke!

guinness is a stout which is a kind of ale
Hardly an Ale, much a Stout as you say. There is Bitter, Mild, Lager and Real Ale.......All Different! Oh and Don't forget the King of Drinks.....Cider 😂
In Oldham (north of Manchester), the saying is "if you can see the hills it's going to rain, if you can't see the hills... it's raining"
I am in Scotland and an old neighbour told me , if the hills look near it’s fine and if they look further away it’s rain , made absolutely no sense to me
I love self-catering accommodation. You rent a cottage for a week and you can do what you like.
If I was saying the time I wouldn't say "a quarter to seven" it'd be shortened to "quarter to" and I'd assume you know the hour
Don't like cold weather!
Sits in air-conditioned houses,shops and cars all day 😂😂
Whilst I quite enjoy his videos, Wolters World is not actually the most reliable source for what he claims! He's still making lots of "Americans don't quite get Britain" mistakes, despite claiming to be the authority on avoiding such.
As a native Brit, I've yet to come across even one of his videos where I've not said "NOOOOO! Please don't tell me you actually think that!!!" [and PLEASE don't advise other Americans to continue that mistake!!! 😭😭😭😭] at least twice each time.
Yes! He really irritates me.
I think he makes his videos with an American audience in mind, but seems to forget that he's posting them on a global platform where they can also be viewed by people with more local knowledge than he has!
It always makes me laugh when you septics worry about the steering wheel being on the other side. Just slide yourself over to the right-hand seat and you're golden.
Yes it seems weird to me, I've driven my car in Europe I've hired cars in Europe.
Never really crossed my mind I'm on a different side of the road.
I suppose some of us know how to drive and others don't.
The tricky part is using stick shift if you're not used to it. Also, you'd be using your left hand to change gear. Not recommended to learn how from scratch in the 200 yards between the airport Enterprise pickup and the first roundabout.
@leohickey4953 @leohickey4953 We change gear with our left hand all the time. Yes, we're used to it, but it's not intricate handwriting, is it? It's moving a lever. Besides, we have no difficulty when we drive in mainland Europe, if we don't take our own cars. And Europeans have no trouble when they come here. It's very much an American thing; only they seem to have this problem.
In the UK, if you don't like the weather...
...wait for a few minutes.
Chester is slightly south of Liverpool on the border with North Wales.
The Welsh name for Chester is "Caer" (rhymes with "fire", slight roll on the R)
During Roman Britain, there were three legionary fortresses >> Caer (Chester), Caerleon (near Cwmbran in Gwent) and York (Eboracum in latin - but vikings took it over as Jorvik >>> which became York)
"Caer" just means "fortress" in Welsh.

Sorry, I don't know that one. I know some standard place-name elements and some common words, but I don't speak Welsh. I lived a summer in Swansea/Abertawe when I was an undergraduate over 40 years ago...
I was brought up in Chester. Lovely city.
Sometimes I go out during the weekend searching for a queue to join...just because.
😂😂😂
Our weather travels routinely from west to east. That's why it's wetter in the west, because the Atlantic rains drop there first.
That's not a half timbered property. It's a half past timbered property.
😂
A quarter to four or 3.45 means that we in Europe are still used to read analog clocks with hands on the numbers not digital ones.
Guiness is a stout
Stouts orignate in london, along with porters.
Ales are still alive, so you cant chill them or it would kill the beer.
There's a lot of craft brewers making stouts in the US these days, and have to say, most of them hit Guinness for six. Stronger too, generally.
When telling the time my mother used to say things like 'it's five and twenty past' or 'five and twenty to'
My Yorkshire grandma did the same.
Connor you are developing into an intelligent adult. Keep learning. Travel if possible. Driving only takes a bit of practice. I have driven a manual in the UK and Spain, I have no problem adjusting.
@@AnneDowson-vp8lg My mother came from Berkshire
My Warwickshire mother used to do that as well.
Chester is in the North West on the borders of North Wales, an old Roman city with more Roman ruins than any other city in Great Britain. Also there is a complete Roman wall around the city 4 miles long.
My dude loves grass more than Bob Marley! One love from Scotland. 💙

But maybe not at that stadium he spoke about the other day when he listened to Jerusalem...?!
I wish he could come and cut my enormous expanse (to me), of lawn and am worn out!😢
Yes - it's a well known fact that there is no grass in the USA - especially in the wet New England region.
I had to laugh😂😂. England is not flat! There is a small line of mountains called the pennies running down the centre of England from Hadrian's wall to between Manchester and Leeds. Just further down the peak district and just beyond there the Chiltern hills. Basically a central spine the length of England!!
And there is the small matter of the Lake District
I remember when I first started to travel in the 1970's. We were advised by the Foreign Office to respect the laws and customs of that country..
How things have changed. This is hard to say so I'll just say some people hate this country and hate are culture and way of life. But you have to ask why do they come here to live
Liverpool and Manchester are very different cities. The accents are completely different, despite being only 30 miles apart, and the atmosphere is very different, too.
Hi jibby.
I've been away in the country in the past, for a week or two at a time, and often I can remember it hadn't rained ONCE during the whole time I was away, in fact on the contrary, it sometimes was unbearingly hot.
This happened MANY times when I used to do a fair bit of travelling.!
The queue culture includes being aware of who got there first when a single line doesn’t form, e.g. when coming to a bus from different directions, and waiting accordingly. It tends to work well. People would rather hold back than push in when they’re not sure who was there before or after them. There are also lots of people who know they were there first but who will stand aside for others - especially the elderly, disabled or parents with young children. Sometimes, lovely people in supermarkets will see that you have just a few items compared to them so will let you go first. My broad experience is also that two people reaching a till or doorway at the same point will both insist on the other person going first until one gives in.
24:06 king Edward VII, that’s the statue you asked about.
Liverpool water front.
As far as the rain is concerned...it rains more in Rome than it does in London...the problem is the rain in Rome is over a shorter period lol..
Why do people bother to travel if all you want is what you already have at home? Travel is meant to broaden your mind and your experiences, not be a home away from home. Just because something is not how it is at home doesn’t make it wrong, just different to what you’re used to, but isn’t that the point of leaving home?
I'm always intrigued by Americans excitedly boarding the Eurostar, off to visit Disneyworld Paris.
@@digidol52me too. When I went to Disneyland Paris last year, we had some Americans on our train and they were so fascinated by it all - it was actually endearing to see, and made me realise how much we take for granted in the UK.
Efficiency is not necessarily the bedrock of language. Douglas Adams once pointed out how 'WWW' in a web address takes longer to say than 'World Wide Web' and yet was also getting read out to people.
Thanks for that, I never noticed, lol, very true though, 👍
With reference to the stairs in old places. You have to remember that when people had a 2nd floor, especially in humbler dwellings, as opposed to palaces and mansions, it would be accessed by a ladder. These homes were small, as our ancestors were small. I can remember going to look at a 2 rural properties with a view to buying, only as recently as 1988 in my local area and *both* had the upstairs which you got to by ladder. It was a permanently fixed ladder and robust, but a ladder all the same.
I've lived in homes over the years , including my current one, which were built with no indoor bathroom or toilet. In a 'two up, 2 down' house, like a Victorian terrace for example, a bedroom will be divided with a partition wall when indoor facilities were becoming more widely known about. In towns and cities, this was in the 20th century. More rural properties still had no indoor facilities in the 1960's. Many also had no electricity in the 1960's.
In most rural places, which had more outside space, a bathroom and toilet would be built as a downstairs extension and almost every home I've lived in here, was an old house with a downstairs bathroom, including my correct one, which was built as a large farmhouse in 1860, later some land was sold and another small farmhouse was built, and the original farmhouse, was split into 2 in the 1940's, the farmer who owned it, and most of the land in this village, was money hungry. So he divided the old place, sold the next door part and mine was retained for one of his workers. Of course, when the worker retired, the farmer was 'kind' enough to let him stay in it. The workhouses had long been closed, otherwise I am 100% sure he'd have been evicted. But letting him live in it was the extent of his 'kindness'. The place was damp, all the wooden window frames rotten and letting in icy draughts, the roof leaked, part of the ceiling in what is my bedroom, was stained brown, dripped down the wall in rainy weather, was collapsing. The wiring was dangerous 2 core with antique bakelite, 2 prong plugs and there was no heating. When the old chap died, I bought the place and over the decades have made improvements and modernisations.
When these brick built places were 'modernised' the ladder was easily removed as it was made from wood which isn't part of the actual structure, and a set of stairs made to replace it.
There were no building regulations back in the old days to specify depth of tread or angle of stairs.
Speaking of my own home, former farmhouse, my stairs have a 45% angle........... *plus*it has to have a right angle bend before it goes upwards, due to the room being only 11 X 11 feet.
Each tread is a mere 8 inches.
It is impossible to simply walk down them forward. I have tiny feet, size 35 EU , or 2.5UK or 5 US and even *my* feet are too long, you have to come down sideways, holding firmly to the bannister.
In large palatial rooms, you don't need such steep stairs, but in modest homes, even having a functional upper level was considered 'posh', so if you had to climb a ladder to get to it, it wasn't looked down on.
Lots of American history has gone. Your really old modest homes have been pulled down and replaced. It's easy to do with a non permanent wooden structure. What remains are your large plantation homes, wealthy folks homes and they had rooms large enough for sweeping stairs.
Go back and watch some films and dramas about life on the frontier. I remember things like little house on the prairie. Kids were told to go to bed. They went up a ladder......
I am very interested in history. Social history is my thing because it teaches me about people like me, living in homes like mine, having to manage a small budget as I do.
Connor, the west of England is not flat. Just not as mountainous as Wales. The only really flat part of England is East Anglia. The big lump that sticks out on the eastern side. That is true. The west is wetter than the east, particularly the North West i.e. Manchester and Lake District area.
In England if you pass your driving test in an automatic you can't drive a manual! 85% chance of rain also means a 15% chance of no rain, and if it does rain it could be for all day or just for 10 mins.
_"In England if you pass your driving test in an automatic you can't drive a manual"_ It's the same in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. What a coincidence :)
@@ftumschk
I think the implication was that _in_America_ they drive (mostly) automatic transmission cars but (occasionally) also manual, without thought to needing a separate type of driving licence...?

I'm British but live in Italy and absolutely no one here knows how to queue. There's literally a rugby scrum outside of some places and how you know where you are in that mess..well, you turn up and say....who was the last one (here) and someone will put their hand up - and you keep eyes on that person. You can imagine what it was like during Covid....I was literally educating people on what to do. Even the police, as little as they do, were like form an orderly line...with zero effect lol. Even before and after people might take a ticket at the post office and then wander off to have a coffee and then turn up and think they're next in line even if it's way past their ticket just because their number was before yours...sigh ..
Chester the County town/City of Cheshire. One of the oldest Counties in the Country. Cheshire cheese. Cheshire cat and many centuries ago known for the quality of its Archers.
Don't forget Hagman from Sharpe is from Cheshire!

I don’t imagine learning to drive manual transmission would be that difficult for an otherwise experienced driver. It’s only difficult for learner drivers because they’re having to learn everything else at the same time!
Ale is NOT served at room temperature, it should be served at cellar temperature (which should be about 56°F).
And only Americans call it ale.
@@digidol52 Camra? Campaign for Real Ale?
The great thing about British weather is you can often get four seasons in one day, sometimes in the same hour ! As for responding to comments, yeah you could do that a tad more Connor😂
Iv always said that yesterday for example sun rain hale stone I'm suprised were not born with Webb feet lol
I understand the social anxiety. Thats why you need to push uourself. The reality is 90% of the time things are fine. But i get your anxiety.
“Half seven” is a shortened version of “a half an hour past seven o’clock”.
Half an hour is 30 minutes, a quarter of an hour is 15 minutes.
Where confusion comes in is that the people think it means “half an hour TO seven”, which is understandable, and also more common in other countries.
A lot of European countries will say a version of “half seven” but when they do, they mean “half an hour to”, in the UK, its exclusively “half an hour past”.
I think its possible in the US that “seven thirty” is a way of telling time that came from ‘military time’, even if the 24hr clock didnt.
We in the UK usually also round our time off, so its never ‘seven thirty seven’ its “twenty to eight”.
It's not the quantity or otherwise of weather. It's how it can change. Yesterday started here with thunder and lightning, bright sunshine, rain and hail, bright sunshine, wind and rain, bright sunshine, sun and rain simultaneously....
in the UK it rains a lot more often than most places but its generally not as much in volume as other places, when it rains heavy it really really is heavy though. most of the time its light drizzle with lots of on and off spells
And Britain has great food - the UK has more than 3 Michelin star restaurants per million people.
The USA has less than 2/3rds of a Michelin star restaurant per million people.
In the uk, the majority of people will help visitors and help them.just be polite and respectful.
Connor and his bloody grass!
We had clocks that chime each 15 mins past the hour and different chimes for 15, 30, 45 and the hour mark. Each chime was named quarter past, half past, quarter to. and the hour one might be special depending on the hour it was one dong to 12 dongs.
With regards to time, half seven is a shortened version of saying "half past seven", which means half an hour past seven o'clock. When people state the time around the world in different ways, they use the terminology they are accustomed to in their language. No-one decides to use the American wording because it "saves time" and is therefore the correct way! Chester is in Cheshire. It's an hour away from Manchester and close to the Welsh border.
Guinness is a Stout.
There are a few: Bitter, Mild, Pale Ale, India Pale Ale. Brown Ale, Porter, Imperial Stout, Ale, Barley Wine and what you think of as Beer is Larger or properly Larger Beer. Remember most are much stronger than what you maybe used to.
And then there are Ciders to consider most country still ciders (aka Scrumpy) are incredibly strong.
Lager, like the German or other European beers. 🍺 🍻
My sister's at York I want to move there too where was there when we were young the nice little villages around there too it's a nice part
Yes, the difference in queueing culture may be that Americans respect lines once they officially exist, whereas Britons are more prone to instinctively create voluntary lines (and American tourists are more likely to bypass the voluntary line).
At 09:30... Yup, before the Atlantic opened up those mountains you see in Scotland were part of the Appalachians.
People in the UK don’t form a formal line to get into the subway. But they ALWAYS wait to let people get out before anyone gets in. And they go in in an orderly way. They don’t push past other people.
For an American, you will see history almost everywhere in the UK. You could pick up a stone, throw it and hit an old castle or church. On Angelsey in Wales I walked into a stone burial chamber from 2,000 BC and had the whole place to myself.
In the uk we say 'half PAST' or seven thirty, which means 7.30. In other languages they might say 'half BEFORE' hence saying half before 7 is actually 6.30.
2:16 Yes, you are the crazy one here. I'm really trying, but I can't understand why half seven, or quarter to four, is confusing to Americans. I genuinely don't see what the difficulty is.
Rail travel a bit pricey? It's daylight robbery!
Cheaper to fly than travel by rail in many cases
hi, not sure if someone told you already but the rain thing is a mix of both, lets say there is 75% chances of rain in 45% of the town or city you are interested in, so they will add them and make the average the number they show, in this example i put would be 75 + 45 = 120, 120/ 2 = 60, so when you check the weather forecast it will say 60% chances of rain...i hope this help.
Half seven is short for half past seven.
Quarter to is from the 15 mins sections. Quarter past, half past and quarter to the hour.
An American woman made a video about her Holidays in the UK and she was in Scotland and remarked about the English Countryside. 😮

a friend of mine moved to glasgow from africa. he was here for a few days and it started raining, ok, so what? well, at "home" when it starts to rain an hour or so later it stops. NOT in glasgow, two days later he gave up and got soaked on his way the shops to buy a raincoat!!!
I think that's the Edward VII monument in the Royal Liver Building/Pier Head area of Liverpool, on the east bank of the River Mersey. There's a statue of The Beatles near by X
The first line of the great song, "One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)", written by the great American song writers Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer is "It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place except you and me". Does that throw Americans into a tizzy of confusion? The magnificent Al Jolson recorded "About a Quarter To Nine". Does that have the same affect?
The “Half” measurement of time makes more sense when you know that it’s a shortening of “Half past”
The national Trust and English heritage both open historic buildings and keep and repair them they have teams of specialists in repair and restoration t
You can buy yearly membership to both its a great way to visit lots of places for free and there are special offers for members. We also let people of a tube or over ground trains before getting on. Queen Elizabeth was also Queen of Canada.
Guiness is a stout, which is a sort of ale, in that it's live.
firstly we have hilton hotel and other chain hotels like the premier inn or travel lodge, secondly chester is about a hour drive of liverpool or manchester, the weather in uk changes daily i ignore forcasts and get up in morning and look out of window
"Half 7" is just short for "half past 7"
Simple really 😊
Guy on the horse statue in Liverpool is Edward 7th.
Half past seven is what we often say locally (I'm in Shropshire, W. Mids, UK). It depends on where you grow up in the UK, I suppose. Oh, and ps: we do have automatic vehicles, so you can ask for one instead of a manual (I'm sure they'll have both).
Food...up in Scotland, or any coaastal area, the seafood is amazing, not just fish and chips, but lobster, oysters, salmon, sea bass...
The U.S.A. is a 'me,me,me' society.
When compared to Europe where rules and behaviour are geared towards the good of the community not the individual. More especially on the Continental, rather than the U.K.,it's all in upbringing.
It's half 7 because it's shortened from half past 7
People mix up the two time systems. The 24 hour clock and 12 hour am/pm system . Graham
15.45 most people use military time but I would say quarter to four but I use military time.
14:52 Guinness is not an ale, it’s a stout - thicker & kinda creamy, and it comes from Ireland, though tbf, we drink loads in the UK just like lots of places in the world.😊
Someone mentioned the backbone of england...the pennines. That why the west is wetter. The clouds drop their rain to the west of the country.
Plus you can rent an automatic. Jyst remember the driver is always in the middle of the road.
Chester was a Roman garrison town , York was founded earlier by the Vikings
We don't say quarter to four, we just say, quarter to... Or quarter past

"They have a whole other mentality when it comes to football than you have in any other countries"
I don't think that's true at all. I think most countries are like us with regards to football and sports. The US is more like the odd one out in that regard. The US treats their sports like a fun get-together and a day out with entertainment. They get to see some celebrity players, take some photos, enjoy their time and who wins is kinda secondary. But the rest of the world sees it as a competition between teams, a competition between cities, a competition between nations and it's a serious matter.
It's strange how non-competitive Americans are about football, but very competitive about anything else.
Can't see the problem with the way we tell the time. Half 7 means half past the hour of 7 or 7.30. Quarter to 4 means another quarter of an hour till 4 o'clock. Quite simple really! Just like to add England is not flat!
Adding to other people's comments, too many people are unaware of just how hilly the north is. The Pennines take up a huge chunk of the North. There are very few towns or villages in the Pennines. There are very few roads that go east-west across the Pennines. Take Manchester, 15 miles to the east are the hills, 15 miles to the north are hills, so roads from Manchester go west towards Liverpool and then north-south. Up towards the Lake District the strip of usable land is less than 30 miles wide. Similarly on the east side a large chunk of Yorkshire is hilly. Huddersfield, Halifax are right in the foothills of the Pennines. North Yorkshire is hilly. Look on Google Maps with Terrain turned on.
Stately "manners"? He meant "manors" of course, but ordinary manor houses are rarely open to visitors. The common expression for the big historic houses and castles that the public can visit is "stately homes".
Guinness is a beer. Just like ale actually. But the style is called stout. There are many styles of beer. And the most popular style is pilsner. Beers like Heineken, Amstel beer, Stella Artois & Budweiser are pilsners.
I don't think we usually say 'Half Seven' for seven thirty. What we actually say is 'Half-past seven', at least in Southern England. I suppose it might be different in other parts of England, though.
Chester is North west of England near the border of North Wales , you can walk around the edge of the city like in York on a Roman wall walk , there’s 1000 year old Chester Cathedral , a Roman Amphitheatre , Tudor style Houses And a walkway in the city centre high up on the exiting shops Chester Rows is the medieval walkway , also the oldest Racecourse in the World from 1539 by Henry VIII and Henry Gee THATS WHY WE SAY GEE GEE FOR A HORSE TO THIS DAY 🤷♀️
An 85% chance of rain basically means that at sometime that day it's probably going to rain 🤣
I could be wrong but I’ve been told it’s a percentage of that area 🤷🏼♂️
Your Canadian coin has queen Elizabeth on it, she was the head of state there, now king charles
From google:
Ales, typically called “bitter,” are differentiated from beers by possessing a hop flavour that is more intense than that of beers due to the increased amount of hops used in the brewing process of ales. This is because the amount of hops used in the brewing process of ales is greater than that of beers.
The original Guinness is a type of ale known as stout. It's made from a grist (grain) that includes a large amount of roasted barley, which gives it its intense burnt flavor and very dark color.
Lager is just one type of beer and it doesn't share the same properties and, of course, taste the same as other types of beer - a beer that's brewed at a cool temperature using bottom-fermenting yeast.
@1:50 I'm a simple guy. I like efficiency in conversation. 😂😂. This from a guy who can't string two sentences together without pulling his hair out.
There's a saying that less is more. I understand what he means because some people like the sound of their own voices and gabble on on on. The monologue getting more convoluted by the minute. So I'm on his side whether or not he's twiddling with his hair. In fact I prefer his videos as he is not constantly stopping to opine when there is no need.
@@mick6721 if we all took that advice only speaking nice things the world would be in a worse mess than it is. There are times when debate for the greater good has to include saying unpleasant but truthful facts. Of course this does not include personal comments just for the sake of it. What I'm saying one should never take sayings too literally otherwise the humans would become mute.
Don't drive in London
You can rent an auto, they're more widespread now
It takes a few miles to get used to it. Its no big deal and also roundabouts are easy, give way to the right.
If you're in a pub and someone spots you waiting at the table, they'll have a quiet word about the etiquette of ordering and if they like you, they'll take the piss out of you!
I think your comment at the end is spot on.
Re telling the time, ‘half seven’ seems nicely concise to me instead of the full ‘half an hour past seven o’clock’.
A round clock face with two moving hands and twelve numbers is generally how we learn to tell the time, rather than via a digital watch or timer with numbers only and no way of visualising the quarters and the half hour.
Europe has its own standard hotel chains: Ibis or Premier Inn for (fairly) budget, Novotel for mid-range and Sofitel for high-end.
Hi Jib Jib,
Food - out in the suburbs, we have some really fantastic places to eat, and cheap, cheap, cheap.!
From Turkish in one area, Portuguese in another, Indian in another, Chinese in another, Brazilian in another, etc.,etc.
I pay about 10 dollars for an oriental buffet - eat as much as you like.!
