Did anyone else start chuckling when he was about to Google the magic roundabout 😅
@chimpbabe Aye... minefield right there. now how do we JT to "Dougal and the blue cat"
Yep 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤
Stonehenge . Is been built by a local builder , and he's promised faithfully to come back next week and finish the job !
Regarding the question about the Scottish sport that was banned - the use of the word "hockey" in the UK is usually used to describe Field Hockey, whereas we'd refer to hockey on an ice rink as "Ice Hockey"
Knowing he's going to be confused by all the pictures of Zebedee and Ermintrude when he googles Magic Roundabout. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂🎉
You need to be Dylan to navigate that bloody roundabout 😂
I had to laugh when the rain question came up and it's 30 degree celcius heatwave outside but no fear rain due saturday! 😂
Can't come soon enough....... I'm boiling x
I live near the Giant's Causeway, its a rock formation created by an ancient volcano and is one of the best examples of fissure eruption. There's a similar set of stones at Fingal's Caveon the Scottish isle of Staffa that gave rise to folk tale about the two landmarks.
Legend says that the famous Fomhóraigh (or Irish giant), Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn McCool), build a causeway to Scotland to fight the Scottish giant, Benandonner. After a fight, or some trickery involving Sadhbh and a baby disguise depending of what part of the legend you prefer, Benandonner retreats back to Scotland, breaking the bridge behind him.
Celtic mythology is full of fun 😂
In Scotland we do still call mountains a mountain. It's mainly folk who climb them who call them Munros. The reason being is in the late 19th century, a man called Sir Hugh Munro mapped out all of Scotland's peaks higher than 3000ft. So anyone trying to climb one of those peaks now term it as climbing & bagging a Munro.
My brother in law has bagged them all
JT, the reason they have a narrow gauge railway on Southend pier, when you've had 10 pints in the pub, you need all the help you can get to reach the end of the pier.
The Magic Roundabout is an English-language children's television programme that ran from 1965 to 1977. It used the footage of the French stop motion animation show Le Manège enchanté but with completely different scripts and characters.
Every episode would begin with Zebedee giving a brief summary to the audience of what will happen, before the plot begins. The episodes would also end with Zebedee throwing a party after the problems have been solved, with Dylan, the spaced out rabbit, droopily remarking, "I wish it was time for bed, man..." (in reference to the original series' quote "Time for bed") before drifting off to sleep. Sleep tight Anna, as she obviously took Zebedee's advice.
Eric Thomson narrated the original as you probably know? Emma Thompson's father.
Who's Anna?
Anna is JT partner@@johnp8131
Anna? Do you mean Florence?
The French themselves apparently preferred the British version, because the original French program was very boring
I've got to be honest. I never knew it was made like that. I was born in '77 but watched reruns as a little kid and loved it.
By the way, the mascot for Hartlepool United football club is H'Angus the Monkey, from the story of the Hartlepool people hanging the monkey that was the only survivor of the sinking of a French ship. There is a Wikipedia page about H'Angus.
My town
And the fans are called monkey hangers. Probably one of my favourite northern facts. The banter between the football fans is great too. When I moved up there 20 odd years ago there was a magazine I bought called "Let's all laugh at Sunderland."
You did pretty well! The Thames is the most famous river because it flows through London. Giant's causeway is a natural rock formation made from volcanic basalt columns, the same type of structure as Devil's Tower in Wyoming - imagine if that was flat and extended out to sea. And people from Hartlepool (pronounced Hart-lee-pool) are still called "monkey-hangers".
Yes but some peoples get say Themes which actually is Tames😂😂🎉
I got 100%! Question 2 was particularly easy for me as I've lived in Southend my whole life and went up the pier just last week!
I got them all right, though a couple took a seconds thought, Magic Roudabout has to have got its name sarcastically, Stone Henge was built 3000 years before the Romans ever came to Britain, while there are a lot of theories about who built it and why there is no definitive answer, but it has been proven thay had enough knowledge and tools to have built it. And finally I live about 35 miles from the Monkey Hangers (and yes we really do call them that)
"shot my shot and it's winning" *sigh* my mind went dirty with a uh huh lol
I only got 1 wrong which was the very first question. Considering I have a degree in History and UK History, i had to do that well. You did brilliantly well mate, well done!!
The pier is nice, but as for not being able to walk 1.3 miles, remember you'll actually have to do 2.6 to get back to land again, which is a pretty solid 45-50mins walking; a lot of people will do the walk to the end then get the ride back & naturally there are the elderly & other people with mobility issues.
You did better than you thought! Well done by the way, I doubt I'd get so many in a US quiz.
Actually, a munro is not a mountain...just a big (ok, VERY big) hill that people can walk up, and when you've conquered it, it's in the bag, hence munro bagging.
Welsh rarebit is a cheese sauce on toast, made by melting cheese with beer and mustard and then spreading it on toasted bread and flashing it under the grill (Broiler in USA) to brown the top.....
Windsor Castle is just outside of london, its a huge castle which is open to the public, id reccomend going, it was the residence of the queen sometimes, particularly in her later years, and the king uses it sometimes now, however Balmoral is the Scottish one, its where Queen Liz 2 died
I live in the UK and I got them all right, not easy though I had to guess a couple. As for the Magic Roundabout, it's not that complicated I have driven around it, it just looks more intense than it is. Now a double mini roundabout those are tricky.
Get in the corner...now!
So did I, but they were pretty easy questions for us that live here.
I’ve driven magic roundabout many times. Not so bad really. You just treat each little roundabout individually.
Yep, Man of Kent here; Got one wrong - I said "All The Blimming Time" for the rain question. Meh, sometimes it feels that way.
@@nealc.6927 Well it is based on averages across the whole UK, so some places are obviously worse than others. Being down south you may well be quite dry on average compared to other parts of the UK.
I spent a evening in the Tower of London with the Ghost Club. We were shown around by the Raven Master. At the end we saw the Ceremony of the keys. The Yeoman Warder (Beefeater) locks the main door to the tower for the night and marches to a gateway. The Sentry normally army, but it was the year of the Navy. and it was a tiny female navy rating. She shouts out loudly "halt who goes there?" Presenting an assault rifle with a bayonet on the end. "The Keys" says the Yeoman Warder, she reply's "whose keys". The reply is then "Queen Elizabeth's keys", she then says "pass Queen Elizabeth's keys, all is well. They are let through to a corridor at the end is a set of steps. At the top of the steps were some Naval ratings and a Naval Officer with a drawn sword, all in dress uniforms. They are given the keys of the Tower for the night. What an evening!
I like the version shown in "Tumbledown" a story of the Scots Guards (well one officer principally) in the Falklands , when the challenge gets "the keys" Protheroe one of the main side characters shouts "wha's keys?" in a broad scots accent and one of the officers quips "he's not even Scottish he just loves putting on the accent"
The magic roundabout was a kids program from 1963 to 1977 with Dougal, Zebedee & Ermintrude, to name but afew, it now has cult status in UK, with some saying Dougals love of sugar cubes is a code for drugs, & Dillon the rabbit was a stoner, a friend told me in her opinion, the roundabout was named after the show as you'd need to be on drugs to go round it 😂
I got 34, they weren`t easy for people outside of the UK. You did well.
I just like hearing JT pronounce everything wrong😅
interestingly the reason behind uk pub names is due to the fact that when most pubs were opened, around the 1500's/1600's, most people couldn't read so there would be a sign showing the name. for example a pub called "the white horse", which is my local would have a sign depicting a white horse. so most pubs will be named after a colour and/or an object.
Now to need to check out crazy UK kids shows from the 70s and 80s
I visited the Shard when I was in London a few weeks ago. It's impressive.
I googled pics of the Magic Roundabout & found photos of Zebedee with a joint. Lol. 😂😂😂
My family on my dad’s side all used to be from Southend so whenever we went to visit we’d all end up going fishing on the pier. I can also remember hating how much the pier would shake whenever the little train went past you. Used to terrify me when I was a kid 😂
I got one wrong - the cockney rhyming slang one. I volunteer with a ranger team on a Munro, it's fun work! Our shorter mountains are called Corbetts. The Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland is an area of naturally occurring hexagonal basalt columns. I've never been there but there is a very similar site in Scotland - the island of Staffa which has similar basalt columns and contains Fingal's Cave. A friend of mines ran a pub called the Red Lion 😂
Proving the English are much less serious than the Scots, a term was required in Cumbria for mountains with a prominence (basically, its height relative to its surroundings in relation to nearby peaks,) of over 600m, and with reference to the Scottish term 'Munroes' they decided to call them 'Marilyns'! 😅
Got most of them with a couple of guesses but the funniest was seeing Douglas and Florence pop up when he googled the magic roundabout 😳😂🤣😂. . Never heard of this one tbh but the aerial view you’d think you’d been taking some of what Dillon was on, maan lol ☺
as i am from the UK i have only got four wrong. As for the Magic Roundabout there is a video where a driving instructor drove through from one direction to another
You're absolutely right about these being pub quiz or general trivia questions. I guess the average Brit would get half or more, but a quizzer would get most, if not all.
Loved your pronunciation of Stratford upon Avon.. I'm gonna start saying it like that now it sounds posh 😅😅
Although you can stay in the hotels in The Shard they are super expensive. You can pay to go right to the top though, they have a viewing area where you have a 360degree view of London.
Love the fact the monkey-hangers are in there. Oh, and your approach to the Swindon Magic Roundabout is pretty much what I do. I sort of aim the car in the direction I think I'm going, wait for a gap and then hang on for dear life.
Ahaha I'm from Hartlepool and yes we are known as monkey hangers locally. Whether it actually happened or not is unknown, some people say it was a powder monkey (who would of been a boy who moved gunpowder around on a ship) some say an actually Monkey who was mistaken for a French Soldier (if it was a monkey, rumours are it may of been dressed like a French soldier) but theres also a chance its a borrowed story as theres a town in Scotland further up the east coast from Hartlepool that has a similar tale.
As a Brit i got most of these but will admit that some were just educated guesses, as a non Brit you did well! I laughed so hard when you googled the magic roundabout and found the cartoon!
Hartlepudlian here 🙂 it’s pronounced Hart-le-pool and we are on the north east coast, another couple of cool facts about Hartlepool are that Andy Capp originated from here, we have a statue of him on the headland. Also Ridley Scott is from here and we nearly had a statue of a zenomorph in his honour but the local council are boring!!
I'm 7 miles away from Hartlepool in Billingham
All males know this due to Jeff Sterling
Hartallpool haha, love it!
Southend on sea... thats where im from 😂 the pier is so dull 😂
For the rain question. It rains somewhere in the country every other day. Not everywhere. I might rain the north of Scotland on Monday. And Wednesday in london.
Well done mate you tried your best and done good.!!!
Did you not see that it is illegal to be drunk in a pub?...I was waiting for your reaction to that so bad lol
Thank you for putting a smile on my face every time you post a video.
😃🎈
Yes toast with melted cheese under grill with a splash of lea&perrins sauce is lovely 😊
All but Tower of London correct for me! (thought it was the Ravens!) My Dad who must be a sadist took me to the Magic Roundabout when I was learning to drive!! I passed first time though lol
Could see that coming when you looked up magic roundabout, you got Dougal, florence and zebedee
You did really well 😊I was born here and I got seven wrong 😂
stonehenge was built by giants they was playing a game of dominoes but one got bored and started to play Domino toppling
i got every one right
you did great most was just guessing
and yes to more quiz's i love seeing the smoke coming from your ears when your thinking and maybe anna can join in on them too
Oh my I just Love the way you say Hartlepool, you make the place actually sound nice ....
Regarding stone henge there was a tv show round a decade or so ago looking into how stone henge could have been made. They got a team and used the technology of way back int he past to see if it was possible to build stone henge. They found it was. They used logs to roll the stones a long distance then using ropes and an A frame they lifted rocks. So yes it was perfectly plausible to have built stone henge without the use of any modern technology.
FACT CHECK! Although the tv show did this, the tv show was utter rubbish. They didn’t carve out the 15 tonne rocks. They didn’t use the same logs from the trees that were around back then. The rocks were not 15 tonnes they were much much MUCH lighter. They didn’t drag or roll or carry the 15 tonne rocks 25 miles. The frame they used to lift the much much MUCH lighter rocks in to place wasn’t the materials that they had 5000 years ago.
Your message is full of fake news. Sorry.
@@crimsonknightuk they were just seeing if it was plausible in the show. It didn’t need to be perfect. Also they didn’t need to carve out the stones. We know how stones are carved out as even back in Egyptian times copper chisels were used to carve out granite. Even some restorers and other tv shows have showed how people used to cut out stone with copper chisels. If you believe aliens built stone henge then I’m speechless. It’s an offence to the people of the past.
The Munros are named after Sir Hugh Munro. I lived in Scotland for 13 years and only climbed, well rather walked one of them (Ben Eighe) and not to the highest peak. I guess mountaineering is just not my thing!
Archaeologists believe that Stonehenge was constructed from around 3000 BC to 2000 BC. The first crane was invented around 3000 BC and the wheel was already being used around that time too. Given that the builders of Stonehenge had access to these types of machines/tools, it's therefore not that much of a mystery as to how they managed to lift and transport the stones.
Just to clarify “Haggis needs and tattles” in Scotland a turnip is what the English call a swede (Swedish turnip) and American’s might call Rutabaga, this s different to a turnip in England which is smaller, white and more watery than “swede” or yellow rutabaga.
Pronunciation tips:
Thames is pronounced as "Tems"
Avon is A (hard, like the first letter of the alphabet) then Von, A-Von
Hartlepool is Hart-lee-pool
There is a very good video on the magic roundabout where the guy shows how to navigate them.
I always loved it when a test was multiple choice back when I was in school!
That roundabout was insane … we have one named Kamikaze island due to how bad it is to go around
The Magic Roundabout at Swindon. The mistake people who have never seen it before is to look at the whole thing instead of treat each of them mini roundabouts individually. Take them one at a time and it's a doddle.
Good job JT. I think that was pretty straightforward for Brits, I got three wrong, but only because I’m a numpty
Remember, although we invented field and ice hockey, when Brits refer to "hockey" it's usually field hockey
My face when you said you didn’t know who Marlon Brando was haha!
I’m from the UK, work in Central London next to the Tower of London and do not wish to discuss that you got more answers right than me 😂
Hiya Rachel, how much does it cost to get into Tower Of London, do you have to pre book before you get in?
@@paulguise698 Hey Paul, I think it’s around £35 for an Adult ticket which includes entry to all areas (including Crown Jewels). There is a ticket office, so you can buy tickets on the day.
Loved that great fun 31 4 wrong wow never want to go to Swindon magic roundabout I am nearer to the place where they hung the monkey and you never mention it it’s a sore subject still lol thank you JT that was a blast more of these please ❤
Hahaha my Mam comes from Hartlepool and we are always winding her up about the monkey. I love watching your videos about us, I really hope you manage to get over to the UK and if you do and passing Sunderland you would be more than welcome to pop by! You are honestly one of the nicest couples on CZcams ❤
There is a folk song about it by Vin Garbutt play her that it's called the Hartlepool monkey
@gillianhynes7120 oh really???? Oh I so need to look at up, that's for letting me know!
Monkey hangers is the best nickname
Hi JT, Yes it is an offence to be found drunk on licenced premises. You have to have a licence to sell alcohol whether in a pub or store (called an Off Licence). It is also an offence to be drunk and disorderly on a highway or any other public place, therefore being just drunk in a library (which is a public place) is not an offence unless your behaviour is also disorderly. For example, shouting , swearing, throwing books about etc. Believe it or not the object of going to the pub is not to get drunk. It is also an offence for the licensee or his staff to serve alcohol to anyone appearing drunk. Our licensing laws are, I think, unique.
there are several magic roundabouts in england, and you can go both clockwise or anticlockwise round them, ckeck out some video footage of them here on you tube, basically one central roundabout with 5 or 6 roundabouts around it and several lanes of cars going in both directions, its actuall pretty straight forward to use them.
I hate the question about how often does it rain in UK. What they are saying is on average it rains somewhere in whole of the UK. This always give the impression that it rains everywhere this often. From what I can see it rains in Kentucky 120 days a year and Kentucky covers less than half the area of the UK.
Hiya JT, the question about the Titanic, some of the Titanic was built in Glasgow aswel as Belfast, my 3X times great Uncle worked on the Titanic in Glasgow, You done really well with this quiz, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England
I love Southend ❤ it's my favourite beach outside of Cornwall. You can ride a tram to the end of the pier if you don't want to walk it
If they play this game often enough, they end up with odd shaped balls.
Got all but one right but as I'm 57 and British born and bred, I should hope so. The only one I didn't know was about the monkey and like you hoped it was the scarecrow
The magic roundabout IS in Swindon not near Swindon! My sister says you should just close your eyes and go! Lol!
I love your pronounciations . I'm proud of you u know quite alot! Bro, Shakespeare and Nelson though, you gotta look them up they are very very important in.our history.
Well done JT! I didn't know about the monkey and I chose the Thames (being a Londoner), a couple of guesses but like you I struck lucky with them.
Good score, JT! (even if you guesstimated some of them! 🤣)
3:41 90% of Brits probably think it’s the whole thing
Yes here in Scotland we call potatoes tatties like mash tatties and neeps. Or we have tatties n beef mince in gravy
Hannibal Lector, how can you not know him lol. Well done JT, they were harder than normal quizzes, I guessed a few
The rocks of stonehenge were sought after by tribal people to use as gravestones for their fallen tribal leaders. The whole tribe would travel the 25 miles to that area carrying the stones on giant boards with wheels and ropes, and it would take them a while, there were posts found halfway there or near there showing that they camped out on the way. Originally the stones were all just upright, with the tallest ones being the most beloved leaders, and so-on, but around the Victorian era they went there and the stones had fallen, some had cracked, etc, so the Victorians moved them ever so slightly away from where they were(which was supposed to be as high up as possible), somewhere slightly lower for greater stability, and positioned them in the way they are now for greater stability also. So it's pretty simple, it's not aliens or anything. I watched a few historical documentaries on the subject, was cool to see the evidence of the campsites, and the tribal settlements.
Aliens built Stonehenge as they got a dragon to fly the stones in......
i knew Severn was longer than the Tommy River 😂 good try on all tho. 👍
One Canada Square (aka Canary Wharf tower) was actually the tallest building, until the Shard was built.
also, Titanic is British, but built in Ireland
I came to CZcams at the right time
"bit excesive to walk 1.3 miles" My 9 year old son walks 2.1 mile to school and 2.1 miles home everyday lol
But he forgot that if you walk 1.3 miles to the end of the pier you're probably going to have to walk the 1.3 miles back or you live on the pier now. I could definitely walk it. A few years back I used to walk nearly 3 miles home from work (the bus smelled) and pick up my shopping for the last half mile.
Obvs, I got all these right. Back in the day, you would learn all of this in primary (pre-11) classes, apart from the specifically Jock stuff.
Please tour the uk and do a whole series!!! You're welcome up in Newcastle!
Well done ❤JT reacts , I am from England got same score as you 😂
We do know who built Stonehenge, at the start Early European Farmers with some Western Hunter Gatherer ancestry, and later Bell Beaker people also added to construction.
Also has a cool lightning Strom last night 😂
You so cheer us miserable Britain up 😂❤
stonehenge could not have been the Romans as they first sailed over with Julius Caesar in 55 BC . The first conquest took place around 50 years later with Emperor Claudius.
As for the rain - every other day sounds plausible, however this doesnt mean the entire country. Large areas couldeasily go a few weeks with no rain whilst some could rain for 10 days in a row
Titanic I know because my Irish dad who's from Belfast showed me old records of his granddad who was a dockyard labourer who helped build the doomed ship. We have a joke that it's my families curse to build things for them to be doomed.
The London Bridge one... You got right well done, but unfortunately an American (sorry JT) thought he was buying Tower Bridge, and had it dismantled and sent brick by brick to Vegas, only to find out it wasn't the fancy one, just a plain old brick bridge😊
Correction : it was Arizona
Lake Havasu, I believe. There’s a very good movie Falling Down with Michael Douglas, and it’s mentioned in it, as Robert Duvall is about to retire there. Douglas had a music box for his daughters birthday and it played the tune.
A lot of british people think the entire tower is called Big Ben
People from hartlepool are still called "monkey hangers"!
Although I'm British I got all of these right, admittedly I was very dubious on a few of them. I'dve deserved to get my arse kicked if I got the Shakespeare and Stratford upon avon question wrong, as we only live 10 miles away. In fact when we go shopping we go right past Shakespeares birth place. Also so I heard once that although neeps and tatties does refer to turnips and potatoes, instead of turnips mashed swede is preferred as its more palatable, but its still called the same. Also about the magic round about, I have to confess I've never been round it but a workmate said he'd used it and told me that like everything else it's easier when your used to it. I was thinking I bet he gets shown the kids tv show first!!!! Also as for Welsh rare bit aka cheese on toast for a bit of extra spice put marmite on the toast before the cheese then under grill! Yummy!! By the way it hasn't rained for over a fortnight here and the temperature is 29°c (84°f). Also what happened to the tin of spotted dick, absolutely gorgeous with custard!!
Well I found this easy but if you were not from uk this would be hard but hats off you did do well
Queen Elizabeth owned more than 30 corgis throughout her life. Also It’s the anniversary of her death tomorrow 😢
Marlon Brando portrayed Don Vito Carleone in the first movie of "The Godfather" trilogy
Proud of you. You did well.
