anyway that's enough we're doing this highly requested video of things you
didn't know about that UK the first video went down really well! a treat mmm got some
more facts for you today.
So here's a little bit of a twist with this video
we're gonna slot in one fact which isn't a fact which is completely made-up we're
gonna make it up pretty much on the spot and you've got a spot which one you
think is fake and comment it below wait until the end of the video to find out
which one it was and see if you're correct yeah so
The first fish-and-chip shop
which is a delicacy here in the UK was opened in 1860 in London by a Jewish
immigrant amazing those Jewish immigrants have bought fantastic culture
and cuisine to the UK yeah fish and chips are like traditionally British
yeah like fish and chip shop owners are like Turkish, or Greeks, Cypriots, Jewish so yeah!
a slice of home I love it that's so good. Cultural!
this is like a really
interesting fact when I found I couldn't believe it I had to google it
straightaway our queen owns a McDonald's I still don't believe this is crazy!
The Crown
Estate is the Queen's sort of financial investing sector and the Crown Estate
bought a McDonald's in somewhere in the South of England can't remember the
exact location and within that retail park that they bought there's like a
Curry's, a McDonald's, not curry the food, like Curry's as a PC store yeah
computer shop. Yes she owns one of the best McDonald's in the UK
the Queen owns a McDonalds!
Do you think she gets free McDonald's if she wants it the
Our Queen enjoys a McFlurry from time to time
I knew I could tell!
here's another fact about the UK
take it away! so about 30 percent of today's Londoners weren't born in the UK
yeah that makes sense - you can see that that it's so multicultural here in
London more so than anywhere else in the UK I think or one of the most in the UK
thats a pretty cool fact I like it
here's another fact about the UK!
every single day Brits drink 165 million
cups of tea! thats insane - which is 20 times more than Americans
that's crazy! well we
love tea more than Americans I think I've had about 3 today
Wow have you?
I don't like tea
It doesn't apply to me
yesterday I had about three as well
proper like, earl grey / builders tea?
I have builders tea with almond milk
no sugar
i've cut out sugar
in my tea not in general
definitely haven't cut out sugar in general
if I had i'd be like (makes face)
yeah and who wants to be like (pulls face)
not me I don't wanna be a fish!
okay here's another fact
so it's illegal to import haggis from the
UK to the USA because the US government have ruled that sheep lungs are unfit
for consumption
well done they are probably correct, they are probably very right
haggis should not be consumed!
it shouldn't be
haggis is a dish that is local to
Scotland it's made in a sheep's lung and they
stuff it full of like meat and guts and all sorts I don't know any Scottish
viewers can you help us out?
it sounds disgusting
I've heard its delicious!
its grim
but no well done America
well done for banning sheeps lung
thats absolutely rank
rank grim gross
I bet everyone loves all our (slang) terms
grim (pronounced very posh - grum)
so the next one is that the Queen owns all the Swans in the UK
and because of that if you
kill a swan then you've committed a crime
and you can get fined or even sent to prison crazy
swans are beautiful and also like can you own a swan?
can you own them?
She has
I think it's been apparently since the 12th century or something like that
she's owned all the swans!
not her, the royal family own all the swans
imagine the Queen just going to the Thames and being like
darlings I own you all!
come here get me that swan I own it! -crazy
Most people in England had their first kiss age 15
wow the majority of
people have their first kiss at age 15 I think that's a nice age do you think
yeah it's have a kiss
a little kiss
I think I had a kiss at the top of the Eiffel Tower on a school trip
Wow well you peaked early!
It's all downhill from here!
yeah, the boy did well!
just kidding the school brought us here!
did he buy you a
macaron?
no he didnt, stingy - idiot
Next one!
in 2005 the royal family opened up a
sort of open casting where women could come and audition to date a prince
obviously we know now it was Prince William and Kate Middleton ended up
winning this sort of like audition and they made up a story saying that they
met University so it was actually like an open audition you should have gone
I was too young
2005 yeah thats true!
imagine an 8 year old at the auditions like I wanna marry a prince!
they must have had sort of, restrictions on age or something!
yeah they had like a breakdown of exactly what they were looking for
yeah so it said like what schools you know they really like you from these
schools then everyone knows the royal family is a bit, you know, so congratulations
Kate for getting in!
Well done Kate (claps)
Next!
there are more English speakers in
Nigeria than there are in London
really?
yeah probably just because they're
comparing a country and a city
Its quite funny when you hear it you're like oh wow!
that is really weird
so that's the end
of the facts now what we want you to do is press pause and go down below into
the comments and write which of the facts you think
is fake yeah like do it right now pause us press pause
now that you've done that
and we can tell you that the fact which is fake is obviously the auditions to be
Kate Middleton I think we did quite a good job of faking that I think we
did except I think it's quite an ambitious lie
its bold yeah!
it wasn't very believable
but the way you delivered it was very believable
