• The "Logical or Not" discussion: Moving house quotes; Olympic medal count; Device cables; Over-tourism in Europe
    Aug 12 2024
    The Two Brits are Malcolm Teasdale and Francis Carden.

    More gripes and analysis from the Two Brits in America.

    • House Moving Quotes: Illogical explanation of cost
    • Olympic Medal Count: Why does the USA do it differently
    • Device cables: The need to pack a suitcase full when traveling
    • Europe tourism: Too many darn people everywhere you want to go
    The Two Brits maybe a little OTT (Over the Top) in their analysis at times, but there is a reason why these subjects are up for debate.
    With real life experiences, come questions that need be answered that make sense.
    Example: Quotes for moving house furniture based on weight or square footage occupied on the truck without weighing or measuring is fodder for discussion.

  • Food & Drink anomolies - Mothers Ruin, Spotted Dick, room temperature beer, and the case to ban tipping
    Jul 6 2024

    The Two Brits are Malcolm Teasdale and Francis Carden.
    The title will tempt you to listen to the whole podcast. What on earth is Mother's Ruin and Spotted Dick?
    The attempt to answer the question of why us Brits drink warm beer. It is not as bad as it seems.
    Is tipping getting out of order? Do you feel compelled to tip a server for 30 secs of their time to collect a payment? Do you feel rushed at a restaurant, so the wait staff can make more money from tips from more customers? Should the restaurant increase the staff's salary?
    Should someone open a restauant where tipping is not allowed?
    Some countries consider tipping as being rude.

    Lots of unanswered questions candidly answered.

    The Two Brits are Malcolm Teasdale and Francis Carden.
    After describing the fallout from explaining cricket and goat racing from Malcolm's recent experience in Tobago, we get into more serious stuff.
    Atlanta Airport parking. There must be some logic somewhere to this latest news about its closure.
    The subject of food crops up again. Breakfast and why we put our lives in jeopardy by eating this stuff,
    Pub food, fish and chip shops, ploughmans lunches, bacon, and the list goes on.
    Listen to this conversation and you will either get hungry or feel a little queasy.
    Yummy.

  • Moans and Groans - Cricket rules (2 minute version), Alexa and accents, messing with English tea and the English flag
    Apr 8 2024

    The Two Brits are Malcolm Teasdale and Francis Carden.

    The title sounds a little dramatic but the episode is all good and informative. Two things are important to the English and that is tea and the flag, so when an entity messes with them, we cannot sit back and ignore it.

    Explaining cricket inside 2 minutes is a world record bordering on gibberish but is informative, however the long detailed version will take weeks to understand.

    Did you know that Alexa understands improvised foreign accents? We will provide an example.

    All valuable educational stuff, so sit back and listen in for 30 minutes.

  • Brits in America and a Brit in Asia - all the latest opinions for the day, including driving, imperial v metric logic, appliances, and travel nuances.
    Mar 20 2024

    The Two Brits are Malcolm Teasdale and Francis Carden.

    Firstly, apologies for the delay in this episode out on the street, but jet lagged Malcolm just returned from his escapades in Asia. He is in fact still alive.

    This episode includes opinions about the metric vs. imperial way of thinking, roadworks, Pi (3.142 etc. ) Day, appliances, weather, plus a few words about the Asian experience (Brits in Hong Kong, Hill Tribes in Thailand, and other strange information).

    The main thing is that even though we are all different in every area of the world, it makes life more interesting. The stories will never end.

  • Just a 30 minute chinwag (aka chit chat) about travel, planes, foreign currency, and other related stuff
    Feb 19 2024

    The Two Brits are Malcolm Teasdale and Francis Carden.

    With Malcolm embarking on a trip to Asia, it was time for a quick converstion about travel, albeit a basic one.
    Comparing the old days to the current time frame always generates conversion, especially when travel is involved.
    The way things used to be: planes, travelers cheques (ie. checks), and other relative subjects are on the table.
    Francis even describes his flight on the Concorde and being on a plane during the 9/11 attack.
    Also, one thing for sure, an honest travel report from the Asia escapade will be dicussed on a future podcast.

  • Pre-Superbowl chit chat and comparisons about sporty stuff from America and Britain. Rules, opinions, commentary, etc.
    Feb 9 2024

    The Two Brits are Malcolm Teasdale and Francis Carden.

    Talking about their expertise (or lack thereof) and opinions about the Big Game.
    All in jest, but lots of "why" questions with regards to the subjects of parties, tailgating, game times, outfits, the wearing of towels and helmets and others, are all up for dicussion.

    Included are a few minutes of digressing to tackle some unusual sports from around the world. You will be amazed what the rest of the world gets up to in the sports category.

    Sport brings the world together. We need it in times of conflict and disagreement and we should all be able suck it up and laugh a little.

    Example question: What is the difference between the England soccer team and a tea bag. Amswer: The tea bag stays in the Cup longer.
