I can't even imagine how fun this is! We watch the YouTube channel Rate My Takeaway religiously and it seems like there are more and more abandoned, dilapidated buildings across the UK.

LOL, that dude is gonna kill himself with all that junk food..., can you understand his very northern accent? I notice 'Have I found the BEST Fish & Chip Shop in the UK!?', is in East Yorkshire, well that's not a surprise!

I worry about his health, his weight bounced around quite a bit since we started watching him in 2020 but lately he looks bloated all the time. Funny you mention his accent. I had one hell of a time understanding him at first (I could only make out about 1/3rd of what he said) but that's not a problem after four years. What a success story. He was let go from a butcher's shop in Yorkshire during the pandemic and started the channel out of desperation. He's worth something like $15M now just four years later.

When I lived in America, I had to change to way I spoke and ended up with a pseudo American accent after a short period of time. It was that or get lots of 'Huh?' comments.

That's great, I love stories like this.

Where in America did you live? Was it much of a culture shock for you? I think I'd much rather live in the UK but I'm not sure if it's a case of "the grass seems greener" over there or not.

It's been great watching Danny grow his channel. He's had so much tragedy too, his first wife passed shortly after he started his channel but he just kept at it and it paid off. He's stayed humble too.
