Don't be shy, send me a message!Our deepest dive yet! Caine in Fuzhou (China) joins me to talk about Britain, but not just London. We share with each other our own experiences travelling in the UK, beyond just London. As with most episodes with Caine, this episode is a recording of a call between the USA and China. The call quality was fantastic *compared to the usual* so I’ve kept this an ‘editing lite’ episode. Often, I will cut out pauses, gaps, and any technical oddities, but this conversation was so smooth and natural, I’ve done very little with it ‘in post’. Welcome to my world!In this episode, we talk about cities that mean a lot to us (such as Bradford for me), the North-South divide, the natural beauty of Britain, and ponder what *exactly* is in an English breakfast.  Check out my Youtube channelhttps://www.youtube.com/britishcultureCheck out Caine's Youtube channelhttp://https://youtube.com/videosbycaineCheck out my Red Bubble shop:https://www.redbubble.com/people/british-cultureMessage me anytime on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/flemingneverdies/or e-mail:AlbionNeverDies@gmail.comIf you'd like to buy me a coffee to help fuel these episodes:patreon.com/britishculture  Support the show

Don't be shy, send me a message!This eighth episode in the 'Alphabet of Britishness' has eight kings called Henry in it... or at least, I talk about them. I don't say much about King Henry VIII as he's just too well known, and there's so much out there already. I give a bit of an overview of the eight kings called Henry and then talk about a few other things; HP sauce, Harrods, Harry Potter, Hammer Films, Horatio Nelson, Haggis, Hot Cross Buns, High Tea, Hastings (Battle of), and Holbeach. You'll need a little Google of that one, and Google Image is your best bet.
