Thanks for this video, I lived in Jersey for 24 years and married a local girl. I loved living in Jersey and still have many friends on the Island and its been 7 years since my last visit. Jersey is a beautiful place and the restaurants are second to none and plenty to do if your into sport and water sports. We are retired and now live in Spain but will always have great memories of beautiful Jersey as it was a big part of our lives.
Hola. Buenos dias.I too lived and worked in Jersey for 13yrs. I married a spaniard. We loved our time in Jersey. Great beaches. Restaurants. Everything..Great.
@@monicamorilla2851 Hola, planning a trip back next year as its been awhile. I hope your enjoying life in Spain and getting into a more easy and slow pace of living than in Jersey. All the best
Thankyou for the lovely memories. My husband got a job transfer from york, to Live in Jersey, in 1981 we were there untill 1987 just loved it. Sorry have to do it. Yes we were there when Bergerac was filming. We left Jersey to go to live in Australia, but will alway's have fond memories of our lovely time living in Jersey.
I lived in Jersey from 1984 to 1995 and always swore i would one day go back, after seeing your visit and listening to your excellent narration i have just booked a week in the Pomme D'or. Thank you for reminding me what a beautiful place Jersey is.
Thanks for watching Sarah. It's so lovely to know you enjoyed the video enough to want to book the Pomme D'or. It's a lovely hotel and so central too. We hope you have a lovely time and it brings back some wonderful memories. :D
Thank you for watching and please consider SUBSCRIBING because we've got so much new and incredible content coming in 2022, we're sure you won't regret it. Thank you! :D
Hi Simon, thank you for watching and commenting. We loved our brief visit to your incredible sculpture. Glad you enjoyed the video and your appearance in it 👍
thanks for the memories i 've visited the island 5 times and i always find something new to visit this next time i will visit the glass church thank you very much for the film
Loved visiting Jersey every year. Beautiful beaches, shops, and lots to do with the kids. Saying this the biggest down fall we experienced every time we travelled, especially on returning home was the rude, aggressive, airport security staff. I feel they really need to learn manners and take a much needed course in customer relations, considering it’s the tourism that helps keep the economy afloat.
My mum and dad visited Jersey in the 1980s and they spoke of how beautiful it was. They also talked of the terrible time the Channel Islanders had during the Nazi Occupation. I've never forgotten how they were very sad at what they learnt while they holidayed there. I am going to make a concerted effort to visit Jersey. 🌞🌞🌞
I go to jersey frequently despite not knowing anybody there, I love the place and when people ask me why I go so often I just tell them to go see for themselves. Every time I think I’ve seen everything things like your video come up and remind me I haven’t! 😊
Both Jersey and Guernsey have quite a history. Thank you for the vicarious visit. So many sights and attractions to see. The low tide - what can I say? Oh, and Black Butter (YES).
@@visitwithus Hi , thank you so much , i really enjoyed the music too, can i ask , in the tunnels , which band or singer was it ? it's very beautiful . many thanks , linda from Wales .
Watching this video gave me the weird feeling of wanting to go to Jersey on holiday (I was born here and have lived in Jersey my whole life)...Great video.
been to both islands , think it was in the 80s we were there with our children, my son and husband loved the war tunels , would love to go back to both islands
Pretty cool Video. I’ve never heard of Jersey island, Just heard of it today when I’ve got my update DNA on ancestry Channel Islands. Came to RUclips to get info. Love the video beautiful island love to visit in the near future.
Has brought back lots of memories of when I was working ..I used to go to both Guernsey & jersey twice a year to visit my customers and the pom was the hotel I used to stay !!( Along with the royal yacht) ...miss the vists !!
Loved your video I used to go to Jersey as a child with my nan and grandad who went there every year....I loved it and remember the glass church and I remember a house made of sea shells and he zoo we had to go to it by Cable Car....and he quaint B+B we stayed in I remember the food was divine....oh I have to book a trip this year would love to go back I think it is magic and a bit of English mixed with French with a bit of German thrown in so makes it very interesting.
My mother lived in jersey with my family until she met my dad in 1988 and decided to move to England we go there every year I like seeing my amazing cousins there and Elizabeth castle
The bass player and myself, on a break outside the WatersEdge Hotel, summer season 1963. A man with a rod and tackle bag, walked past followed by a girl of remarkable beauty. The bass player asked, "What did you use for bait?" Thanks for the memory.
Loved the video. We have visited Guernsey on a number of occasions over the years (via cruises) and we found quite enjoyable and fascinating. This video wetted our appetites for a Jersey visit…
This clip is great, the way you narrate Jersey is brilliant and I particularly loved the soft but also powerful touch you used to describe the nazis era and places left on the island. Round of applause
Haha this came up in my recommended and I’m in it! Just after the 24 minute mark that’s me putting the sailing boat away! Love the vlog regardless of my cameo - defo subscribing for more 😁😁😁
watching this video reminds me of how much i love this place. my family are from jersey and i'm going back soon. i love how your video captures the essence of the island mainly due to the rain- its the curse of visiting haha
I first went to Jersey when a sailor on the S S Brittany in 1959 I done two seasons on her and then went there to live ,a great place in them days ,I left in 1972 and ended up in Brisbane Australia for a look around and have been back a few times since ,always stay at the Normandie Hotel and my pub was and still is the White Horse,it`s not the Island I left .It`s been 8 years since my last visit.
Love the video Rich, thanks for sharing, a perfect example of the Jersey we like to call Curiously Brit…(ish), however, we’ll take your new slogan, ‘There’s more to Jersey than Bergerac!’ 😉. Come and stay more and explore more soon, the seafood risotto will be waiting!
Aww, thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. I'm so relieved that we managed to capture in some small way the sheer enjoyment we experienced of the island and it's wonderfully unique mix of Anglo/French cultures. We can't wait to return to see more. :)
A lovely reminder of a great visit some 20 years ago when Bergerac was a weekly “not to be missed”! The German underground hospital experience was second only to Brian Blessed’s narration at the visitor attraction! An intriguing place to visit with or without memories of Bergerac! OTBC 2-1👍
Wow. Your creativity and video quality continues to amaze me. Weather aside I would love to spend a few days here. So much history. By the way...spot on music choices 👌 🎶 Beautiful 😍
Oh my you guys, I love love love you. I am so fortunate to be subscribed. Love the detail and history as I am a yank. You guys are the best ones to be videoed. The sights were great…and yes I-am a Dr Who fan…😊 thx once more for taking me away with your vlog
Watched this 10 times inlove with this island any job vacancies there help me sir or any one reading this i lost my bussiness during covid things are really hard for me n my kids am in kenya
Nice to see a tourists point of view. Hopefully didn't find it too expensive. Sadly we don't attract the younger crowd these days, the grockles all seem pretty old.
I live in ireland from hong kong (many yrs ago, often wanna visit islands nearby, i ll start my journey in ireland 1st, then visit others incl Jersey n Guernsey , thx q
Weather in jersey in the winter is pretty bad, cold, 3, 6 degrees, rainy most of the time and windy, sometimes very windy. Only in the summer is nice and you can go out and enjoy the place. It's hotter than it is in The UK, unfortunately only for 2, 3 months, the rest is just bad.
shame you didn't get to go in the tunnel with turbot. I went in there once, its so cool. Its a tunnel that winds through the cliff. Its been completely flooded and there is a raised walkway in the middle. The baby turbot are also cute.
Thank You. In my case, Jersey is definitely not somewhere I want to be taking a rather expensive Ferry ride to while I will be on holiday in Normandie soon. Your information is most welcome :)
Nice video. St Aubin is pronounced (St Obin ) Lived in Jersey 57yrs, my hubby was Jersey Born, he wanted to travel around the UK, so we did, lost him recently and may well go back to the Island at some point in the future?
How are you doing mister rich mrs Helen thank you for sharing your trips with us even virtually we are as foreigners subscribers as overseas students enjoy to explore places unknown to us to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well i gathered main information about place you visited briefly here it’s Jersey is British crown depency near coast of north west France it’s largest of Channel Islands anyone can travel to visit or work settle and immigrants permission Jersey is known for fascinating military history during napoleonic wars world war 11 and Jersey too was part of duchy and Normandy whose duckes became king of England from 1066 its remained loyal to English crown. According to the site cost of living in Jersey is higher than in USA and higher than uk. Jersey is warmest place British isles. Jersey milk is so special for great taste high vitamin contents . Bon voyage stay safe blessed have great time good luck to you your family friends
If you want to be in the centre of everything and have easy access to most places on the island then St Helier is great. If you want more of a beach vibe then St Brelade is beautiful and La Roque is also pretty. 👍
My old Mum lives near Gorey and I get there every few months. My favourite walk : to Seymour Tower. Favourite building : Noirmont Observation tower. Favourite grub : the Hungry Man, Rozel. Favourite cafe : St Catherine's Breakwater following coast walk from Anne Port. (PS St Aubin is pronounced Oh-bin not Aw-bin)
We, a german couple, stay 1 week in Gorey in the Hotel Dolphin for holiday and leave tomorrow. It was a wonderful time to relax and a lot of interesting things to see.
I was in Jersey for only 3 months back in 2005. Working for a shop fitting company. Broke my wrists going to work flying down the hill from BNQ to bottom of the hill / roundabout.... Dirt old Black ice. Miss the Portuguese tarts jersey slappers 😆
Great video Only one suggestion; It would be great if you can mention prices? ( Fish’n chips, wine tasting price, other meals? Hotel? etc ( you do mention bus price) It would be completed info 👍
@@visitwithus I understand but everybody can see how old is your video.. Usually other travel channels describe more into the details otherwise what’s the point of watching.. I like to see pricing info as any other info.. other thing can change as well not only prices.. anyway.. all the best.. But if you don’t listen your audience then your video’s are not for me Cheers
@@importedvixen We ALWAYS listen to our audience and give us much info as we can without getting too bogged down so the pace of the video overall is not too slow. But thanks for watching anyway. We shall strive to include more prices. Maybe one day you’ll watch another and give us the benefit of the doubt that we do try our best? Have a lovely week. 🙂
Ah, a second question. I know you went on an organized tour, but it looks like there's ferry service from Poole to Jersey. That looks like it might be a more interesting way to get there. I may be a pilot, but I'm not a fan of airlines!!! David
Q1: I don't know. I assume from my limited knowledge Isle of Man is a 'different country' altogether, whereas The Channel Islands belong to the UK but have semi autonomous freedom to set their own laws, tax rates etc. Lucky them! :D
Q2: Sure you can get a ferry. We nearly took our car over but decided that it was cheaper and obviously quicker to fly. It was OK - EasyJet A320 - no hassle. Cosmos are offering free flights as we speak, but normally it's a case of get there how you prefer. :)
Jersey technically has the exact same status as IOM, as a "Crown Dependency". Any differences are really just cultural and historical due to the proximity of the Channel Islands to France and to each other. In reality there is no real geopolitical grouping of the "Channel Islands", Jersey and Guernsey are both distinct jurisdictions from one another, as with IOM. Although Jersey and Guernsey do tend to mimic each other in terms of governance hence why they may have similar political systems that differ from IOM, but they all make their own laws. Their Crown Dependency status in respect of their relationship to the UK is the same. As for the boat from Poole to Jersey, it isnt anything special or interesting, just a bog standard ferry. The ferry operator, Condor, aren't great. The crossing from Poole is typically around 5 hours (the "fast ferry") and you have the "slow ferry" from Portsmouth at around 10 hours. I personally prefer the Portsmouth ferry as it means not having to go to Poole. The slow ferry is also generally a nicer, smoother ferry (the ever-realiable, beloved Clipper) with better on board services, and often less crowded. There isn't much to see out the window on the ferry although sometimes you do get dolphins swimming alongside. Be warned, if you get seasick, the Channel has some pretty rough seas. The worst I've experienced resulted in even the Captain apparently becoming queasy and all the wine bottles in the bar smashing. If, like me, you aren't comfortable around sick people, you can pay an extra £120 on the slow ferry and get your own cabin. If you really want to experience Jersey's seas, there are various boat trips you can book from the island, some visit nearby reefs and mini islands, provide fishing trips or wildlife spotting (we have good sea life and very good bird life). There is also a ferry service operating between the Channel Islands themselves, great for a visit to Sark, Guernsey, Alderney or Herm. I'd recommend just flying to get from England to Jersey though, much much cheaper and quicker. I used to exclusively travel between here and England by ferry as I have a fear of flying, however the 35 min flight turned out to be pretty manageable, cruising at most for 15 mins before the descent.
historical note: The German's always claimed the Gestapo were never on Jersey. Technically corect. As the Island was a Festung, Fortress, it came under Military Control. The Gestapo were a civillian organasation. The Military version, so the ones on Jersey were the Gehime Feldpolize, the Secret Feild Police, the military version. Those who had dealings with them considered the diffrences to be minor. In the Undrground hospital, be aware , you are walking on bodies. There are many credible stories of the forced labourous, from Europe and Russian POW's being dumped into the concrete of fortifications. Also 9 ar eknow to be killed when the unfinished tunnel collapsed.
I visited Jersey in a 'former' life over 30 years ago, loved it. More recently we have been with P&O to Guernsey, the WW2 tunnels there are even more creepy, very damp, hobnail boot prints in the concrete! Excellent work as always, thank you.
Jersey wasn't "the only piece of British land the Germans managed to capture." You forgot us in Guernsey. Jersey, Guernsey, Sark, Herm, Alderney, in fact the whole of the Channel Islands were occupied.
Sorry, but I couldn't stick with this video because of the continual advertising for Cosmos and the hotel. And then the RUclips ads kick in. It would have been nice to have had a summary of upcoming topics, then a delve into them to give more reason to keep watching. The video quality itself though is excellent. Nice and stable and sharp. And the edits don't result in shots that linger too long.
Thank you for watching and commenting. We focussed on he hotel because that was where we were staying. We mentioned Cosmos a couple of times because that was the company we went with. Perfectly normal. 🙂
@@visitwithus Thanks for your reply. I came back and discovered that I'd watched up to just before the exploring really starts (about 7 mins in). This is much more like it! A package might not be everyone's cup of tea but you've shown the island well enough for anyone to get an idea of what to expect. Interesting contrasts: the underground hospital isn't for the faint-hearted, and is markedly different from, say, the vineyard visit. But that's the channel islands - refreshing coastal walks, German WWII fortifications appearing on them, then a well-appointed pub. Crammed. It's good you've made the video. Jersey hasn't appeared much or very well in RUclips, hitherto. Many thanks!
@@j_a_lee Thank you for persevering with it. We always design our videos to try to be interesting until the very last second. Glad you found this one interesting (eventually) 😆🙂
you missed out on a few facts about things you filmed ... like Jersey had the first British postbox's before mainland Britain. Corbiere Lighthouse was the first concrete one built in the British Isles and the last siege of the English Civil War was at Elizabeth Castle.
Hi Jean. Thanks for watching and giving us some more interesting facts. I'm sorry we couldn't fit everything into the video as Jersey continues to fascinate us! :D
@@visitwithus for sure, but thank God that belongs to the far past. We live in the present and dream in the future. So, nowadays Jersey is the island of dreams (only)
Well, except for the fact they are both islands, they have absolutely nothing in common so… Actually, we’ve been to Cyprus several times and we can confirm that it is just as boring. Hotter, but boring. 😂

Thanks for watching 😊
Amazing editing to the video. You clearly know your stuff!
Thank you so much Lucine, we're glad you enjoyed it. Much appreciated. ☺️
Brilliant video, thank you
Thank you for watching Andrew. :)
Nice to see a tourists point of view. Hopefully didn't find it too expensive. Sadly we don't attract the younger crowd these days, the grockles all seem pretty old.
It’s a beautiful island ❤️
Thanks for watching 😊
I live in ireland from hong kong (many yrs ago, often wanna visit islands nearby, i ll start my journey in ireland 1st, then visit others incl Jersey n Guernsey , thx q
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy the islands 👍
Nice shot of the enigma machine ❤.
Thank you. It’s mind blowing to see it in real life. 😲
Weather in jersey in the winter is pretty bad, cold, 3, 6 degrees, rainy most of the time and windy, sometimes very windy. Only in the summer is nice and you can go out and enjoy the place. It's hotter than it is in The UK, unfortunately only for 2, 3 months, the rest is just bad.
Thanks for watching 👍
shame you didn't get to go in the tunnel with turbot. I went in there once, its so cool. Its a tunnel that winds through the cliff. Its been completely flooded and there is a raised walkway in the middle. The baby turbot are also cute.
Oh, didn’t know about this 🤔
Thanks for watching 😊
A gem! Would like to check it out.
Definitely worth a visit Billy. Thanks for watching. :)
Thank You. In my case, Jersey is definitely not somewhere I want to be taking a rather expensive Ferry ride to while I will be on holiday in Normandie soon. Your information is most welcome :)
Thanks for watching Julian and enjoy Normandie. 😀
Hi what is the music playing towards the end please?
Nice video. St Aubin is pronounced (St Obin ) Lived in Jersey 57yrs, my hubby was Jersey Born, he wanted to travel around the UK, so we did, lost him recently and may well go back to the Island at some point in the future?
Thank you so much for watching 😊
A few people have mentioned the St Aubin pronunciation 😂
Hope you get back to Jersey soon ❤️
Love Jersey. Going back for about our 7th visit in April. Great stuff! I have to say though, Jersey wine isn't great!
7th time? Totally understand that. Lovely little place. Black butter definitely preferable to the wine. 😆
How are you doing mister rich mrs Helen thank you for sharing your trips with us even virtually we are as foreigners subscribers as overseas students enjoy to explore places unknown to us to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well i gathered main information about place you visited briefly here it’s Jersey is British crown depency near coast of north west France it’s largest of Channel Islands anyone can travel to visit or work settle and immigrants permission Jersey is known for fascinating military history during napoleonic wars world war 11 and Jersey too was part of duchy and Normandy whose duckes became king of England from 1066 its remained loyal to English crown. According to the site cost of living in Jersey is higher than in USA and higher than uk. Jersey is warmest place British isles. Jersey milk is so special for great taste high vitamin contents . Bon voyage stay safe blessed have great time good luck to you your family friends
Thanks for watching Khatoon! :)
Glad you enjoyed the rock I am proud to call my home
We loved it. Thanks for watching 👍
Any advice of where to visit in Jersey on my trip in April this year? Thanks
If you want to be in the centre of everything and have easy access to most places on the island then St Helier is great. If you want more of a beach vibe then St Brelade is beautiful and La Roque is also pretty. 👍
Thank you, I’ll follow your advice when I get there♥️🙏🏻
Bizarrely , potatoes are legal tender in Jersey , this was decreed by the Duke of Normandy in 1511 and all vendors have to accept them !
Haha, that’s a trivia fact if ever there was one 😁👍
Thanks for watching 😊
My old Mum lives near Gorey and I get there every few months. My favourite walk : to Seymour Tower. Favourite building : Noirmont Observation tower. Favourite grub : the Hungry Man, Rozel.
Favourite cafe : St Catherine's Breakwater following coast walk from Anne Port. (PS St Aubin is pronounced Oh-bin not Aw-bin)
Haha, thanks for the heads up re: Aubin - a few people have pointed that out 😁
Thanks for watching 👍
We, a german couple, stay 1 week in Gorey in the Hotel Dolphin for holiday and leave tomorrow.
It was a wonderful time to relax and a lot of interesting things to see.
I was in Jersey for only 3 months back in 2005. Working for a shop fitting company. Broke my wrists going to work flying down the hill from BNQ to bottom of the hill / roundabout.... Dirt old Black ice. Miss the Portuguese tarts jersey slappers 😆
😆😆😆
Thanks for watching 👍
cold, quiet and creepy
I'm Christy tiron from srilanka my dreams is come to jersey one day I will come ❤
Thanks for watching 😊
Hope you get to go there one day 🤞
best place on Earth
We can't argue with that! :D Thanks for watching! :D
Also most expensive… 😫
I watching from Bangladesh ❤️
Thanks for watching 👍
I think you may have just cost me a few quid for a holiday to Jersey with this one!
It's worth every penny Warren! :D
What time of year did you go?
We were there in June 2021 and as you can see it was a little wet 🌧
Thanks for watching 👍
Very good
Thanks for watching Mel. :)
Great video
Only one suggestion;
It would be great if you can mention prices? ( Fish’n chips, wine tasting price, other meals? Hotel? etc
( you do mention bus price)
It would be completed info 👍
Thanks for watching. We don't normally put prices in because they date very quickly and we don't want to give people incorrect advice or info. :)
@@visitwithus I understand but everybody can see how old is your video..
Usually other travel channels describe more into the details otherwise what’s the point of watching..
I like to see pricing info as any other info..
other thing can change as well not only prices..
anyway.. all the best..
But if you don’t listen your audience then your video’s are not for me
Cheers
@@importedvixen We ALWAYS listen to our audience and give us much info as we can without getting too bogged down so the pace of the video overall is not too slow. But thanks for watching anyway. We shall strive to include more prices. Maybe one day you’ll watch another and give us the benefit of the doubt that we do try our best? Have a lovely week. 🙂
It was much more magical in the 1980's.
Everything was more magical in the 80’s. ☺️
Lovely as usual. I question. Is Jersey's status like that of the Isle of Man?
Ah, a second question. I know you went on an organized tour, but it looks like there's ferry service from Poole to Jersey. That looks like it might be a more interesting way to get there. I may be a pilot, but I'm not a fan of airlines!!!
David
Q1: I don't know. I assume from my limited knowledge Isle of Man is a 'different country' altogether, whereas The Channel Islands belong to the UK but have semi autonomous freedom to set their own laws, tax rates etc. Lucky them! :D
Q2: Sure you can get a ferry. We nearly took our car over but decided that it was cheaper and obviously quicker to fly. It was OK - EasyJet A320 - no hassle. Cosmos are offering free flights as we speak, but normally it's a case of get there how you prefer. :)
Jersey technically has the exact same status as IOM, as a "Crown Dependency". Any differences are really just cultural and historical due to the proximity of the Channel Islands to France and to each other. In reality there is no real geopolitical grouping of the "Channel Islands", Jersey and Guernsey are both distinct jurisdictions from one another, as with IOM. Although Jersey and Guernsey do tend to mimic each other in terms of governance hence why they may have similar political systems that differ from IOM, but they all make their own laws. Their Crown Dependency status in respect of their relationship to the UK is the same.
As for the boat from Poole to Jersey, it isnt anything special or interesting, just a bog standard ferry. The ferry operator, Condor, aren't great. The crossing from Poole is typically around 5 hours (the "fast ferry") and you have the "slow ferry" from Portsmouth at around 10 hours. I personally prefer the Portsmouth ferry as it means not having to go to Poole. The slow ferry is also generally a nicer, smoother ferry (the ever-realiable, beloved Clipper) with better on board services, and often less crowded. There isn't much to see out the window on the ferry although sometimes you do get dolphins swimming alongside. Be warned, if you get seasick, the Channel has some pretty rough seas. The worst I've experienced resulted in even the Captain apparently becoming queasy and all the wine bottles in the bar smashing. If, like me, you aren't comfortable around sick people, you can pay an extra £120 on the slow ferry and get your own cabin.
If you really want to experience Jersey's seas, there are various boat trips you can book from the island, some visit nearby reefs and mini islands, provide fishing trips or wildlife spotting (we have good sea life and very good bird life). There is also a ferry service operating between the Channel Islands themselves, great for a visit to Sark, Guernsey, Alderney or Herm. I'd recommend just flying to get from England to Jersey though, much much cheaper and quicker. I used to exclusively travel between here and England by ferry as I have a fear of flying, however the 35 min flight turned out to be pretty manageable, cruising at most for 15 mins before the descent.
historical note: The German's always claimed the Gestapo were never on Jersey. Technically corect. As the Island was a Festung, Fortress, it came under Military Control. The Gestapo were a civillian organasation. The Military version, so the ones on Jersey were the Gehime Feldpolize, the Secret Feild Police, the military version. Those who had dealings with them considered the diffrences to be minor. In the Undrground hospital, be aware , you are walking on bodies. There are many credible stories of the forced labourous, from Europe and Russian POW's being
dumped into the concrete of fortifications. Also 9 ar eknow to be killed when the unfinished tunnel collapsed.
How interesting, thank you.
Thanks for watching 👍
@@visitwithus My pleasure , enjoy the Little Rock . Especially the Black Butter.
Do not forget to see this mountain bike ride ruclips.net/video/pf2l6RKRG4Q/видео.html
👍 Thanks for watching 😊
Moving soon there
You lucky thing! 😍
I visited Jersey in a 'former' life over 30 years ago, loved it. More recently we have been with P&O to Guernsey, the WW2 tunnels there are even more creepy, very damp, hobnail boot prints in the concrete! Excellent work as always, thank you.
Thanks Paul. You've made me want to visit Guernsey now and do the 'creepy tunnels' test. :)
@@visitwithus One of the hotel's makes lovely Gin!
jersey is famous for cows potatoes flowers and Bergerac
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Jersey wasn't "the only piece of British land the Germans managed to capture."
You forgot us in Guernsey. Jersey, Guernsey, Sark, Herm, Alderney, in fact the whole of the Channel Islands were occupied.
Thank for watching and your comment Martin 😊
I wonder if rich is free to take the Chancellors job. If he can spin that as a good holiday. He can make the state of the pound sound Fine!
😂 I’m not THAT good! 😂
Jersey does not have a special status within the UK - as you say. Jersey is simply not UK. Same as Guernsey.
Thanks for watching and for your comment 👍
Sorry, but I couldn't stick with this video because of the continual advertising for Cosmos and the hotel. And then the RUclips ads kick in. It would have been nice to have had a summary of upcoming topics, then a delve into them to give more reason to keep watching. The video quality itself though is excellent. Nice and stable and sharp. And the edits don't result in shots that linger too long.
Thank you for watching and commenting. We focussed on he hotel because that was where we were staying. We mentioned Cosmos a couple of times because that was the company we went with. Perfectly normal. 🙂
@@visitwithus Thanks for your reply. I came back and discovered that I'd watched up to just before the exploring really starts (about 7 mins in). This is much more like it! A package might not be everyone's cup of tea but you've shown the island well enough for anyone to get an idea of what to expect. Interesting contrasts: the underground hospital isn't for the faint-hearted, and is markedly different from, say, the vineyard visit. But that's the channel islands - refreshing coastal walks, German WWII fortifications appearing on them, then a well-appointed pub. Crammed. It's good you've made the video. Jersey hasn't appeared much or very well in RUclips, hitherto. Many thanks!
@@j_a_lee Thank you for persevering with it. We always design our videos to try to be interesting until the very last second. Glad you found this one interesting (eventually) 😆🙂
Lovely island and what a lovely tour! But I wasn’t Guernsey also occupied by the Nazi’s? Jersey wasn’t the only British land occupied?
Thank you for watching Sonja. Yes, you're right, the whole of the Channel Islands were occupied. Sorry I didn't make that clear. :)
you missed out on a few facts about things you filmed ... like Jersey had the first British postbox's before mainland Britain. Corbiere Lighthouse was the first concrete one built in the British Isles and the last siege of the English Civil War was at Elizabeth Castle.
Hi Jean. Thanks for watching and giving us some more interesting facts. I'm sorry we couldn't fit everything into the video as Jersey continues to fascinate us! :D
St 'O bins'. = Auburn
Thank you 😊
@@visitwithus You are more than welcome...
I didn't know that New Jersey had beautiful beaches? 😳
This is Jersey, not New Jersey (don’t now if that makes a difference or not 🤷♂️ 😃)
Thanks for watching 👍
Not be rude but as a local St.Oburn is not pronounced as orben but oben
Aubin sorry
We travel to so many places, it's inevitable we get some of the pronunciations wrong. It's an occupational hazard. :)
Apology accepted. ;)
No VAT free, it’s 5 %. No VAT only on Guernsey.
Thanks for watching
I believe it's pronounced "Joisey".
😂😂😂
Thanks for watching 😊
It’s LaMare not lemere.
@@Geo796H Noted. 🙂
Why nightmares?
Nazi occupation not nightmarish enough?
@@visitwithus for sure, but thank God that belongs to the far past. We live in the present and dream in the future. So, nowadays Jersey is the island of dreams (only)
It looks like a boring place. I prefer Cyprus.
Well, except for the fact they are both islands, they have absolutely nothing in common so… Actually, we’ve been to Cyprus several times and we can confirm that it is just as boring. Hotter, but boring. 😂
It is very safe so in that sense it is a bit boring, like Malta. But it is full of historic and geographic detail.
