American visits Tesco and is blown away by UK vs US differences
An American who visited Tesco for the first time was wowed by the differences between UK and US supermarkets. Blogger Kalani Ghost Hunter documented his family's shopping experience on his popular TikTok account @Kalanighosthunter.
In his video, he was accompanied by his mum, who had never visited any UK supermarkets before. Kalani explained: "This is the first time my mum has ever been in a UK grocery store, and I want to show her the cheese aisle.
"Okay, so take a look at all the different kinds of cheese they have. This one's really good here if you like a very strong blue cheese that's a solid one." His mum replied: "They're got more varieties of cheese than we've got. It's like they have a lot more produce than we have to." She added that she thinks the groceries are cheaper.
Continuing his Tesco shop, Kalani went on: "Now, mum, this is the weirdest thing. They have eggs on the shelf, not refrigerated." She replied: "Wow. Yeah, big difference. It means they're fresher eggs." Next, Kalani turned his attention to the meat on offer.
"This is something that I've really struggled to find back home in America, when I'm trying to do a fry up, is back bacon. Here, there's plenty of variety for back bacon, but at home, it's really hard to find. With back bacon comes the sausages. It's hard to find this style of sausage at home. There's a lot of different sausages, but it's hard to find this style."
He was also impressed by a meal for two offer. "I've never seen this," the shopper shared." It's a Tesco meal for two. Sweet and sour chicken and chicken chow mein in a box. There's even prawn crackers up top. That's crazy, £6.50. I mean, I don't know how it tastes, but for two people, that's wild."
Last but not least, the American family stopped by the toiletries aisle to pick up Lynx Africa body spray. The video went viral, gaining over 20,000 likes and hundreds of comments.
Several viewers were amused to see the family had added Lynx Africa to their shopping list. One viewer replied: "Lynx Africa is a right of passage for all young UK teens!!"
Another wrote: "Ha! Lynx Africa is like catnip for tweens!" Someone added: "Lynx Africa was the popular one in the 90s hes an old soul! my teen boy likes the excite one," and a commenter shared: "I'm 46 and I used Lynx Africa as a teen."
More praise read: "Your brother is a proper UK teen with all the lynx Africa. I used to use that stuff like my life depended on it." A fan added: "I think all uk teenage boys smell of lynx Africa, then upgrade to 1million aftershave when they get first weekend job, rite of passage clearly."

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SEA fort build to defend Britain from French warships is on the market for £1.5 million. The more than 160-year-old Victorian island fort offers a luxury lifestyle, including a nightclub and a spa for the eventual buyer.

It's such a classically British setting that an episode of Doctor Who was once filmed at the site. The 99,000 square foot setting is open for new owners, boasting 23 bedrooms and a helipad. It features five bars and a restaurant, as well as a "huge scope for conversion", according to the estate agent Colliers. Their website reads: "The Solent Forts date back over 160 years when fear of invasion by the French led by Napoleon III resulted in the commissioning of these sea-based defences by British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston. "With 15ft granite walls and armour plating, these magnificent structures are testament to the skill of Victorian engineering." But if the property's maritime history isn't enough for a prospective buyer, its sci-fi credentials might sway them. The fort was used as a shooting location for the classic Doctor Who story The Sea Devils, which featured Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor. It also boasts a nightclub, pub and spa area in the exclusive location. Once upon a time, the fort was a four-star hotel, and was taken at auction earlier this year for £1.25million as an "impulse buy". Britain's newest & biggest warship HMS Prince of Wales to defy furious China and sail through Taiwan Strait Ed Jefferson, from Colliers Hotels team, told the MailOnline it offers a "rare opportunity to make a mark in a truly unique location". He added: "The remote location provides either great privacy or exclusivity for potential guests and clients. "It could be a great location for multiple hospitality and leisure operators together, or one tenant could take the whole site, we're open to proposals." The listing further says that "planning has been obtained to construct a breakwater and harbour to improve boat water access". The property was lavishly refurbished in 2015, with nearly £8million spent on the property as well as nearby Spitbank Fort. It can be found just minutes away from the Gunwharf Quays shopping centre on the waterfront in Portsmouth. The 23-bedroom floating mansion was previously on sale for £4.25million back in 2021. It was built in the 1860s by ex-Prime Minister Lord Palmerston to act as a line of defence for the British isles. 6 The property was lavishly refurbished in 2015 Credit: Alamy 6 The fort was used as a shooting location for the classic Doctor Who story The Sea Devils Credit: Rightmove

I moved from a ‘rough' council estate to a mansion but my neighbour was vile to me for being too common
Plus, how the entrepreneur went from being a single mother living in a council house to raking in a whopping £1.8million a year CRUEL COMMENTS I moved from a 'rough' council estate to a mansion but my neighbour was vile to me for being too common Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN who previously lived on a rough council estate and moved to a 'posh area' has said her 'vile' neighbour was rude to her for being too common. Terri-Ann Nunns, 41, from Doncaster, who previously starred on Channel 5's Rich House, Poor House as a self-made millionaire, said she was 'happier' on the council estate. 3 Self-made millionaire Terri-Ann Nunns opened up about moving from a council estate to a mansion - and how her posh neighbour was vile to her Credit: Tiktok/terriann_nunns 3 Terri Ann claims her neighbour's actions forced her to move house Credit: Instagram/TerriAnn_Nunns After creating a successful diet plan and having a budget of £1,200 a week with her husband Michael, and their three kids, Terri-Ann moved into her 'dream' mansion. However, things were not all rosy as the person living next to her made her life a living hell. The six-bedroom mansion had come with a cinema room and a swanky bar, but the dream ended when she was forced to sell the property and move out. In a TikTok video on her @terriann_nunns account, she said: 'We bought this house, and then I had offices built in the back garden, it was just amazing. 'But then I had a new neighbor and he were a doctor and he weren't very nice. 'I think personally he could not stand the fact, like, I'm just me. I'm not posh, I'm just me. 'I'll never change, I've always been from a council estate, always been rough and ready, professional, but can be rough and ready as well. And he just couldn't stand us.' Terri-Ann claims tensions rose when he started moaning about her staff parking on the street. She added: 'I had a massive drive for everybody to park on, every staff member, but because they're coming at different times, one of them would get blocked in. 'So they just thought, 'we'll park on street.' So one of my staff argued with him. Anne and Mick Ross look around the Nunn's six-bed house on Rich House Poor House 'He nudged her, it was vile. 'Honestly, I just think he just couldn't stand the fact that we weren't posh. We were just, like, normal.' Terri-Ann said she suspects her neighbour ended up phoning the council to say she was running a commercial business out of her home. She continued: 'I don't know, he just hated us. 'And then when the council got involved, basically the reason I had to move out the house because they said I couldn't run my business from there. 'So I'd spent £40,000 on this office being built in the back garden, and the council turned around and said you're using your property as a commercial property which we weren't. 'We had the big house and the thing at the back garden. Anyway, I said I'm not staying here. 'I'm not staying here and not being able to run my business. It's just not worth it, what we've invested. 'So we sold the house, made money from it, sold the house and bought the one that's on Rich House, Poor House.' 3 The Nunns outside their six-bedroom mansion on Rich House, Poor House Credit: Emporium Productions Ltd SNOBBY COMMENTS Terri-Ann insists she's proud of her success, but claims often people who have had a privileged upbringing 'look down' on those who haven't had that. Many people were quick to praise the entrepreneur on her success in the comments. One said: 'Girl I feel you, I miss the estate so bad! Way to snooty round here.' Another added: 'Love to see my own kind of people getting along in life good on you. sounds like the neighbour was very bitter and jealous of you.' BUSINESS SUCCESS Terri-Ann made her fortune through her Terri-Ann New You Plan, and regularly shares her top tricks for her own drastic body transformation. She went from being a single mother living in a council house to raking in a whopping £1.8million a year. On her Rich House, Poor House episode, her family swapped their six-bedroom home with struggling Anne and Mick Ross, who lived off £200 a week. During the episode, Terri-Ann admitted she may have been happier in her life before her success, saying: 'We're probably less happy now. 'I have to work loads of hours, and neglect Michael (her husband) a little bit, and obviously it's clear I neglect my kids because they told me all this week.'

Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi welcome first child via adoption
'We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy,' the couple wrote in a social media statement. No further details were released. Brown, 21, and Bongiovi, 23, were married in a private ceremony in May 2024. Brown gained recognition for her starring role as Eleven in the Duffer brothers' sci-fi series Stranger Things. The fifth and final season will air this November and December, a culmination of nine years of the show's production. The British actor has pursued other acting and business ventures in that time, including the Netflix original Enola Holmes films and a Godzilla film. She even released a romance book in 2023. Bongiovi is the son of Jon Bon Jovi, founder and frontman of the rock band Bon Jovi. Bongiovi debuted his own acting career as the star in Rockbottom, which released last year. Brown stressed the importance of family during the 2024 premiere of her Netflix film Damsel, where Bongiovi and his parents were in attendance. 'I'm just so lucky that they're here tonight and it just means so much to me,' Brown told The Associated Press then. 'Family is everything and just to have my second family here means everything.' The couple lives in Georgia. She recently told the AP she enjoys living on a farm, largely disconnected from social media, while promoting her 2025 Netflix film The Electric State.
