That's the best pronunciation of Gloucestershire by an American I've ever heard. Spot on ✌💙
-
That's the best pronounciation of the word Gloucestershire I have ever heard from anyone outside the UK, it was perfect.
-
This is what happens when you have “free” healthcare 🤣👍🏴
-
Outstanding pronunciation of Gloucestershire. First time I've ever heard an American seeing the name for the first time get it absolutely right! Well done sir!

Check out the Atherstone ball game. It is medieval football and it's the most violent ball game you'll ever see. It takes place in Atherstone Warwickshire once a year. Basically the rule is 'don't kill anybody' the last person holding the ball at the end wins. The literally have to board up all the town's windows prior to the game.

"there's no way of catching that cheese" - you have very quickly pinpointed the fundamental flaw of this event. No-one ever catches the cheese.
-
This is the kind of event that can only really happen when health care is free
-
Another reason why you keep Brits on side. When it comes down to it we are frigging crazy!
-
You pronounced Gloucestershire spot on 👍 Just a normal afternoon in Gloucestershire 😆 I used to go on holiday with my foster parents they had a caravan which toured all over the UK 🇬🇧 I once entered a welly (Wellington boot) throwing competition somewhere in Yorkshire the winner is the one who throws the boot 👢the furthest 👍 I didn't win 🙄

The cheese is a Double Gloucester cheese, it weighs about 8 pounds. The hill is so steep the cheese gets to the speed of up to 70mph. The participants often have to run up the hill at the end of the race. There are 3 videos you should watch: 1. The Atherstone Ball Game (explanation and history are the best), 2. Flaming Tar Barrel Run in Ottery St. Mary's in Devon, 3. Scottish Highlands Games.

Well done you said Gloucestershire perfectly right This is over a hundred years old. The local council tried stopping it as people do break bones! You now enter at your own risk not surprisingly!!
-
Not often you hear Americans pronounce Gloucestershire right first time, well done!
-
That was a perfect pronunciation of Gloucester.
-
This is classic UK craziness! You should check out the Atherstone Ball Game. It’s the root of all football games and dates back to medieval times. Absolutely brutal!

Shire is ALWAYS pronouced SHER. Lancashire (Lancasher), Yorkshire (Yorksher) etc etc. In ancient times the Kings Officer controlling the shire was the Sheriff (as in Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood). Actually, the shires still have Sheriffs, although it's very much a ceremonial role.

6:00 this guy is a Japanese TV personality. There is a show in Japan called ItteQ and they covered the cheese rolling competition, and he entered :)
-
The cheese rolling has become so popular now that the crowds are massive compared to crowds just 10 or 15 years ago. Well done on your pronunciation of Gloucestershire. Oh by the way, seeing the hill on screen doesn't do it justice. Seeing it in real life it is scary steep.

Theres a shin-kicking contest at Chipping Camden, a small town in Gloucestershire, England, that dates back to 1612.
-
Most of the time the winner goes to the pub gets drunk with everyone and eats the cheese. It started in 1826 and is on every UK’s spring bank holiday weekend.
-
I've just read that the first written evidence of cheese rolling was in 1826, but it is believed that the tradition goes back 600 years.
