00:00Hi, I'm digital reporter Amy Seddon and a couple have gone viral on TikTok with their
00:06videos documenting their days out in Preston amassing billions of views. In a series of
00:11TikToks Alex Morris from Preston shows his American girlfriend Taylor Marin around his
00:17hometown for the first time with some hilarious results. In the following clips you can see
00:22what they got up to during their first three days in Lancashire but more videos are available
00:27on their TikTok account.
00:29So I'm in Preston. It's our first morning since I've landed in England. We've just rocked
00:33up to Starbucks and we have to go in.
00:35Of course you have to fucking go in.
00:36Where's the drive-thru at? Why can't we just drive through?
00:38We're not all lazy bastards like Americans.
00:40And we've got the lovely English weather now, don't we?
00:42We need to get steps in anyway when we get out, don't we?
00:44We're not getting many steps going to Starbucks here.
00:46Yeah, 12.
00:47Also, that's the fanciest Dunkin' Donuts I've ever seen.
00:49It's a lovely drive-thru. You don't see any fit birds in there. There's always a chance if you walk in.
00:53Fuck me, where's my phone gone?
00:55Hasn't even tried Dunkin's coffee.
00:58Dunkin's? Who's Dunkin?
01:00Let's spend eight quid a day on donuts before we go to work.
01:02Who the fuck's doing that?
01:04I don't understand that, mate.
01:05What did that shop used to be?
01:07Carphone Warehouse.
01:08Do you know why that was good?
01:09Because when you wanted something for your phone, you could fucking go and sort it out.
01:12Now I have to go all the way to town.
01:13How do you say Dunkin?
01:14Dunkin.
01:15You're saying Dunkin for Dunkin.
01:17Dunkin's a name.
01:18You're saying Dunkin like D-U-N-C-A-N.
01:20Yeah, Dunkin like D-U-N-C-A-N.
01:22You say...
01:23Dunkin.
01:24Hey, woman.
01:25Hey, Dunkin.
01:26Because they're not equipped for it in Preston.
01:28Oh, it's that big circus.
01:30It's a tent. Circus tent.
01:32It is a circus.
01:33I know it's a circus. I just told you that.
01:35Why do you have a circus here?
01:36I don't know. I don't know why they have a Dunkin's donut.
01:39I don't know why they have a circus tent at the end of a fucking car park either.
01:43Do you want to go Waiters?
01:44We can go Waiters.
01:45That's that majestic wine shop.
01:47Majestic wines.
01:48That is a valuable addition to the community.
01:51What's Waiters? Waiters is like a posh grocery store.
01:56I don't go Waiters all the time, but...
01:57You want to take me to nice places in Preston?
01:59Try and impress me.
02:00Try and impress your bird.
02:01Okay, where are you parking?
02:03Reserve for customers with children.
02:04I've got a kid with me. You?
02:05I am not.
02:07Yeah, you're with me, so that's alright. We're going.
02:10Come on.
02:11They've got loads of Ben and Jerry's, look.
02:13Oh, yeah.

02:19Look at that.
02:21Just the cookie dough.
02:22Just cookie dough.
02:23Fuck me, I'm gonna...
02:24I'll end up coming back at night and filling a sack full of that.

02:29Look at this.
02:30They could make this so good.

02:34Yeah, but why is there no shops open?
02:35True.

03:01You can go if you want.
03:02Can you go with me?

03:05I'll sit on the road and have a fucking sous slushy.
03:08Nando's!
03:09Nando's. We sit in Nando's.

03:17Just Preston movie.
03:19Farm. Baton.
03:21Oi, there's butter pies in there.
03:23What's that? A Chorley cake.
03:25What's a Chorley cake?
03:27You're looking at it.
03:28We need to find the best place to get a butter pie.
03:31American Candy Land.
03:33Why is there an American candy store in Preston?
03:368 quid. Best crisps in America by a mile.
03:40Fucking 8 quid.
03:41He's not saying that.
03:42He's buying a bag of crisps for 8 quid.
03:48What is going on?
03:50What was Tokyo Joe's?
03:51Best nightclub in Preston by a mile.
03:53How often did you go there every night?
03:55I used to think it was shit hole. Now it is a shit hole.
03:57Look at that. It's a fucking burnt shit hole.
04:00Second day in Preston and we're already leaving.

04:45It's actually a really nice day, isn't it?
04:46It's alright for Preston.
04:47If it's not pissing down, it's sound.
04:49You know, one of them bridges has fallen down.
04:51Actually?
04:52That bridge there, over there.
04:53They've got a chance to do something with that.
04:55Either knock it down or fucking fix the last bit.
04:59Like, who's in charge of that?
05:01Probably Preston Council.
05:02Don't do fuck all, yeah?
05:03Can you drive over the bridge?
05:04Or you can walk over the bridge?
05:05Not that one, you can't.
05:07This one, in front of us?
05:08Yeah, you can walk over there.
