Believe it or not - cannot access from the UK!!!!!!

BBC Travel (international version) We're sorry but this site is not accessible from the UK as it is part of our international service and is not funded by the licence fee. It is run commercially by BBC Worldwide, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the BBC, the profits made from it go back to BBC programme-makers to help fund great new BBC programmes. You can find out more about BBC Worldwide and its digital activities at

Pity: the Anglophenia series is hilarious.

We can see it for free (with a short ad in front) so it makes no sense to me that you (who nominally own the BBC) can't.

Can you see this, same thing but on Youtube?

Ahh! Great - yep can view no problem.

Many thanks

This is one local variation of Yat:

named for "Where y'at?", the New Orleans version of "Aloha"

Sounds German to me.
