English Vs Northern Irish, and petrol stations billed as 'ELITE', for Alana & Josh

The couple's cross-border comedy has the channel far busier than usual, while most couples channels around its size are running quiet.

Is a petrol station in Northern Ireland really better than one in England? Alana and Josh say so, in capital letters, and their channel is having a far busier day than usual while they make the case.

Their recent uploads keep returning to one joke: how differently things are done on either side of the Irish Sea. "English Vs Northern Irish ☘️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿", posted on October 5, has passed 158,000 views, more than anything else they have put up in the past fortnight. "Northern Irish petrol stations are ELITE! ☘️" followed a day later and is already past 70,000. It is not clear which video is behind the jump. Perhaps the cross-border pair is doing the work together, or perhaps "The neighbour wars have begun… 🏠" from late September is still pulling people in.

The day stands out more against the channels around it. Most of the couples and family channels close to Alana & Josh in size, Brad and Mill and Reagan Chan among them, are running below their usual pace right now.

The rest of their week stayed closer to home. They spent a weekend looking after Alana's wee brother, a teenager, which the description calls eventful and eye-opening, and they posted a "Men Vs Women during pregnancy" sketch. Their about line sums up the whole operation in four words: here for the craic.
