Hey! I'm Alanna - a thirty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a UA-cam video every Tuesday plus an additional video every Saturday on Patreon + YT Memberships. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 5:30pm GMT/BST on Twitch.

    Thanking the bus driver is one of the most genuine and beautiful things of the UK. Especially when routinely done in a huge city like London (I can’t imagine NY or any other big metropolis doing this). My German fiancé was very surprised when he saw me doing this when we visited London last year and he immediately adopted it!! 😊

    To your question, it’s a bit of both. There are chants that were made up ages ago and the rhythm acts as a template for new things to be made up on the spot. Sometimes supporters use a famous song like ‘I just can’t get enough’ change the lyrics to fit what they want and chant it. All are made by the fans though. Whatever sticks will be continued by the rest of the supporters. Some chants will go back as old as the club, which in most cases is over a hundred years.

    American "chocolate" can't even be sold as chocolate in Canada. It has to be a "Candy" product. After you have tried Swiss or Belgian chocolate from a real chocolatier you are spoilt permanently. I remember as a kid getting miniatures of the Hershey bars at Halloween and no one would eat them.

    There can be a bit of chanting at international cricket. One I remember was an England match at Old Trafford (Manchester ) the stand suddenly erupted with "Tracy Barlow is a dog". Turns out a bloke taking his seat was an actor from Coronation Street, and his character was having an affair with the character Tracy Barlow." I was baffled (I don't watch Corrie)

    Actually the UK has lots of strange roundabouts that work. Oxfordshire seems to love doughnut ones where the main road goes straight on through the middle and out the far side under traffic light control. Both the M40 High Wycombe and the M4 Reading roundabouts have something similar and equally scary.
