  • @effess8698
    @effess8698 3 года назад +1

    Interesting stuff
    1:35 while you're around the Bank of England you should visit the BoE museum, just around the corner from where Chris was standing. They have one of the 400toz (12.4kg) gold bars (worth about £600,000) on display that you can pick up (although it's in a kind of cage so you can't walk off with it).
    6:40 Austen did most of her writing at her house in Chawton in Hampshire which is now the Jane Austen House Museum. As a local boy I'm sure Chris knew that :) If you look at the banknote, above the picture of Godmersham House is a picture of Jane working on a manuscript, surrounded by a shape with many sides. The shape reflects the shape of the table where she worked, which is on display at the museum. The nearest train station is Alton, then it's about a half-hour walk to the house.

    Absolutely brilliant and educational at the same time adventure! I normally don't care much for sponsors, but I have to say that Trainline and Trainline EU apps have saved my butt couple years ago. I was returning from work related training in Germany, driving back home to UK. While stuck in slow traffic in Belgium I got rear ended by some local, my car was a write off and I got stranded on the side of the motorway near Mons. Not the most pleasant situation on cold and wet mid-December Friday evening, with my wife and child awaiting my return. I tried finding flights etc, but I was far away from any of the airports. And then I used the Trainline EU app, found connection from Mons to Brussels and then to London. Believe me, it was one hell of unplanned adventure!

    One small thing about the Fighting Temeraire: Tuner goofed with the sunset. The ship was being towed upriver towards the west so the painting is looking towards the east. Which is not where the sun sets. Doesn’t make it any the less brilliant a painting of course.

    This video reminds me why I love to travel, but 2020 has not been a traveling year. US banknotes feature far fewer landmarks worth visiting, but traveling abroad has inspired me to visit or see some of the iconic places on other countries' banknotes, or get creative with a few.
    - Trundholm sun chariot
    - I took a selfie in the National Museum of Denmark holding the 1,000-krone note.
    - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry - although the French franc is no longer in use, I take a selfie in front of the author's Canadian residence in Old Quebec City holding the 50-franc note.
    - Canadian Frontiers: Trains - Perhaps a bit of a stretch, but at the Toronto Roundhouse Park Railroad History Museum, I took a selfie holding the $10 polymer note in front of an engine.
    - #UseTheTwo - Took a selfie with the seldom-used $2 bill at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C.
    Other life goals are to take a selfie with the Canadian $20 note at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in France, or visit a few places on the backs of US 25-cent pieces. You've certainly given me inspiration to visit the UK and visit some of the sites featured on your banknotes, too.
