A MAN has left people mind-blown after revealing what the 'H' symbols on yellow blocks on the street actually mean. <\/p>\n

Ollie has just moved to America, and was explaining some of the things about the suburbs in the US that are totally different than in the UK. <\/p>\n

One of the things he referenced was their fire hydrants – which are large and above ground – prompting someone to ask him: "What do you guys have instead of fire hydrants? I'm so curious now."<\/p>\n

Ollie responded in another video on TikTok, as he said: "Fire hydrants look totally different in the UK. I'll show you.<\/p>\n

"So this is a typical setup, they're yellow and they've got a big 'H' for hydrant on it. <\/p>\n

"You'll see these and it indicates that there's a hydrant in the ground.<\/p>\n

Using another picture as a better example, he said: "You've got the H for Hydrant here and then you've got this drain. <\/p>\n

"You pop up the drain and the hydrant is underneath it. That's what firefighters access.<\/p>\n

"You pop open the drain, it pops up and there's your hydrant."<\/p>\n

But his revelation left everyone stunned – not only American people in the comments. <\/p>\n

The majority admitted they had no idea that was what the "H" signs meant. <\/p>\n

"I've lived in England my whole life, I'm British. I never knew what these were," one wrote. <\/p>\n

"I\u2019ve never even once questioned what these are," another admitted.<\/p>\n

"I didn\u2019t either until someone on here asked what UK hydrants look like and I couldn\u2019t answer," Ollie replied. <\/p>\n

"Wait these are fire hydrants?? you fr?? what?" a third commented. <\/p>\n

"What?" someone else said. <\/p>\n

"I'm in England and always wondered what the yellow H are! Never even crossed my mind for that."<\/p>\n

"I wish I was taught more things like this in school – it\u2019s weird living with them everywhere, looking important, but no one knowing what they are," another admitted. <\/p>\n

"Jesus Christ I'm in my 40s, lived in the UK my whole life & today find out we have these," someone else said. <\/p>\n

As another wrote: "There\u2019s literally one at the end of my front garden and I didn\u2019t know what that\u2019s what this is."<\/p>\n

However, others insisted they've known for years what the signs mean. <\/p>\n

"I'm really shocked at the number of Brits who DIDN'T know this, but I guess I'm old lol," one wrote. <\/p>\n

"Oh god how did u not know that\u2019s what this was?"another questioned.<\/p>\n

"The fire hydrant near me gets used all the time by the water board. Fun to watch sometimes," a third said. <\/p>\n

Some also corrected Ollie, explaining that the hydrant doesn't just "pop up" – it's accessed by a special tool carried by firefighters. <\/p>\n
