James, that was not rubbish! I found it really relaxing and loved the comedy interludes. Your videos are just as good whether you’re with Helen or not. You have a lovely way of making the viewer feel like they’re just out for a day with you , really personal and one on one. Keep doing you, don’t worry about the weather or the content, it always works…. That’s why your channel is growing so quickly.❤
Ditto..you just make your vlogs real James by vlogging as it is..as you said you can't help the weather...we love watching your reactions to where you are..and I felt I could actually taste those fish and chips..carry on and don't apologise for vlogs you don't think are watchable..they all are so carry on the good work..I really appreciate how difficult it can be trying to make interesting videos..but you succeed every time. Thanks James for the tour of Doncaster..I've never been there..I might never go there but at least I know what to expect..see you on next vlog..xx
Not your fault about the weather James, I have never been, but I am sure it would be a decent place to spend some time if it was sunny. To be honest, I wouldn't worry too much about the content, you are a joy to watch and always bring a smile to my face😀. Take care x
We were there in early summer when all the costumes and dancers were parading and entertaining all the public. It was fabulous. James what are you trying to define? I think the UK is now in a total different reality as to what we are accustomed with. People have become insensitive, crass and fickle with any issue. Know this. Agenda 20-30 will effect everyone even those who consider themselves in "nice areas." I live in Teesside and the dereliction, decay, social decay seems universal. I know you want life to become bearable as it was 30 years ago but I think all of us are being coerced and forced into actualities and realities we inwardly hate. I was interested when you you mentioned the Chinese restaurant and having a great time yonks ago but that's it. Yonks ago. We all live in a very controlled realm where protocol and laws are steeped into every fabric of life on steroids. Around my way all you hear are emergency sirens and abject crime happening at any instance in time. But I think you crave freedom and wellbeing in this storm we are all in. God bless.
My old dad used to say to me "Don't run yourself down to others as there's always some bugger willing to do it for you." He was right. Still enjoyed this outing with you but keep the self-doubt under control. Time to get out your copy of Marcus Aurelius's book, perhaps? 🙂
Love your pronunciation of Tickhill, you said tickle. My wife was born there on a small holding on Lord Scarborough’s estate. She calls it TickHill stressing the hill. Tickle had me laughing😂 “What’s up there? Sod all” 😂🤣
Nice to see you still cracked on, even though the weather was totally against you!. Always nice to see where you are gonna be popping up. Keep up the good work and hope you feel better soon James 👍
James you're Doncaster vlog has done better than you thought I bet,I assumed you were busy because you've not got back to many comments not even a simple red heart of appreciation.
This channel just gets funnier and funnier! Us Brits love a moaner James...😅 And YOU...are steeped in the tradition of a good old Yorkshire moan! 😂 Love the disasters...love the rain...love the moaning...love the self-loathing...😂 Never stop James.😊
Canada here. The video was very entertaining. The street views are spectacular even in the rain. Keep up the good work. Nice that you are not all up, up all the time and we all get to relate to a real person.
Recently another UK RUclipsr (who shall remain nameless here) showed us the delights of very upscale hotels in both Beverley Hills and Las Vegas, and another Mansfield based channel regulary flies to the States to show us around New York, New Orleans and other amazing cities.......Meanwhile.....James shows us the delights of a South Yorkshire city on a rainy midweek day including a quick tour of the ladies underware and haberdashery departments of Boyes department store, and as I'm sure most will agree, this is why we love this channel and we love James and Helen, because it's keeping it real. I've been to Vegas and New York and as great as they are they can't hold a candle to Donny in the rain!
@@bythecurb Yes, ther're both great channels but I felt it would be disrespectful to name them on your channel.....You're doing great mate, I reckon you'll be up to 30k subs in no time and will hit 50k at some point next year, you certenly deserve to....Go steady our kid!
Just loved this video, so down to earth and could not stop laughing at bits as it just sums up how everyone feel in the rain and trying to find something to do to cheer up.
Orrr, i was looking forward to seeing you throwing some combinations in the pub James! Great effort mate, and that food looked (and sounded 😂) bob on ❤
That was hilarious. Better half was giggling all the way through. Seems we’re gonna have a drive out to Donny for the fish and chips. On a feedback angle, your editing skills are coming on a treat.
What’s that great Yorkshire saying, there’s no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing! Good to see you made it out and managed to seek refuge in a suitable watering hole!
I felt a bit under the weather a few weeks ago. Turned out to be bloody ‘Rona didn’t it. Still feel knackered now. Hope you (and Helen) are feeling better soon. Chris 👍🏼
Being a Doncasrian the two extremes of Doncaster are Hyde Park (used to live there as a kid) and Bawtry (money money). Doncaster itself is a dump now (wasn’t always that way). I’m surprised you didn’t get mugged walking about with that camera lol. People have been attacked for far less. You so much as make eye contact in the wrong pub and mayhem unfolds. I have paused video for this comment but I often pitch up in my peugot expert on the road next to Lakeside, nervous nights. Best place to stay is on Bawtry road behind what used to be Pa Punches Hotel (now Toby Carvery). It’s known to vanlifers and RUclipsrs. I stay there every other weekend with no problems ever as I visit family and do my part as carer for my mum (dementia). Growing up I’m Hyde park was not easy, had to learn to defend myself and became a third Dan in taekwondo (before it became a bit wussy). Reet I’ll play rest now…
@@bythecurb I’m in Filey, not far from your beloved Bridlington. Storm Barbet is really doing a number here. The waves are madness, the wind is downright dangerous. Some local roads flooded, tree down in Seamur (how on earth will I get to McDonald’s. Now?) Just the last few months seen an increase in off grid camping (vans, cars, tents), up at the country carpark in Filey (signs say no camping but they’re ignored). So if you find yourselves down our way it’s a good spot for you.
Just found your channel by accident, James. I watched your visit with Helen to Scarborough & now watching this!!!! You and Helen are so down to earth!!!! Keep up the good work & the fish & chip reviews!!!! 😁👍🏻
You could just sit in your van & talk & I'd still love your vlogs, such a down to earth fella, the first video i saw was your Benidorm ones, loved them & went on to watch all your others. Keep them coming, your a great youtuber x
Hi.. so as soon as you said chippy .. auckley friary came in my head. Glad you went. I go there maybe once a month.. mostly I'll just get a portion of chips.. think they fry in a different oil.. agree its first class. Also I love the conisbrough one but not as much as auckley. Tickhill pond is lovely.. used to go with the kids. Anyway thanks for coming and experiencing all sides of Donny
Most Town centres are depressing in the rain especially large town's and cities that have not heart and sole no shops apart from Fast food and barbers.higlight definitely was the fish and chips. shame you didn't buy a pork pie they looked fantastic
You could, at least, have read us some of the signs on the sculptures! Helen would've! 😉 I can't think of anyone I'd rather walk around a rainy Doncaster with 😀
James did you know Doncaster is Scottish ? It was given to Scotland in the treaty of Durham and never given back Thats why it was raining lol another good one mate , you sure you get about ........................
They did indeed make flying Scotsman in Hexthorpe, my mum used to work at the Paddington bear factory, stuffing and sewing them up. John Parr, Kevin keegan, Sarah Stenvson (my mate), all from Doncaster amongst others.
John parr from Worksop that’s its own town 15 miles away from Doncaster classed as nottinghamshire from Donny myself Sarah did Doncaster and the country proud in 2008 winning the countries first Olympic medal in her sport what a great achievement
@@NNC93 just recalled another member of our club, Amanda Broadbent, medaled at the Olympics in TKD before Sarah, BUT it was a demonstration sport then.
Ohhhh, that brings back memories! Born and brought up in Donny! As a kid we'd go to Bawtry for a day out to visit the Sunday market........you could never park anywhere then either! lol! (1970s!)
The Gentleman Fishmonger in Doncaster Fish Market, has had a stall for around 30 years, is a social media star. Fun fact Ian Bothan and his wife travel to Doncaster to buy their fish from him. Martyn and Sarah also run the DN1 Deli Dinner. Delicatessen & Dining Room by The Gentleman Fishmonger and it's their first anniversary this week. They are also aiming to be receive the first Michelin Star in Doncaster.
Best review on eating fish and chips I have seen yet. I could literally taste it. I would do anything to eat some British fish and chips right now. Keep it up James, you are so real!
Just a fact about lakeside, there stands the Dome which, when built in the 1980’s was Europes largest indoor leisure centre with the only two-tier ice skating rink. It stands on the site of the former Doncaster Airport which I believe hosted the worlds first aeroplane race
Good one James! ⛈☔😢.......😂Loved the pub scene. And, saved by a winning fish&chips. I've not seen the Flying Scotsman, will have to check that out. Thanks for tonight's entertainment.
Kevin keegan was from Doncaster. Douglas Barder's mum lived in Doncaster And not forgetting the world famous Jeremy Clarkson and Paddington bear & Dianna Rigg
As a man and wife who travel the U.Ks Beaches i love your videos, I photograph beaches and storms and will come across your travels as our worlds collide, great work and one of my favourite vloggers to watch to date, well done you!
Me and my other half want to go on the lash with you both, you are the most down to earth people we have watched ont youtube.... Keep up the good sarcastic funny work 😅
Charlie Williams was from Donny. Most of it's a dump but the surrounding areas are nice like Bessacar, Wadworth, Tickhil,l where Clarkson was born. There are some great pubs and restaurants in the town centre, oops sorry, city centre. Very run down in places, but lots of big industry and opportunities if you can be bothered to drive to. I worked there for 18 months, commuting from Sheffield, proper Yorkshire lads and lasses. Great vid James, thanks.
Ha ha. Great video. Particularly enjoyed your honesty. Especially enjoyed you driving past my house in Tickhill! 😀 Best wishes from me here in Bangkok, Thailand.
Very interesting vlog...cheers! Well you made me laugh you just gotta get out of the van even if it's raining! That pub was a nice suprise in the rain 🙂
Oof, fancy missing off Nigel Gresley Square, Cast, The Savoy and the spectacular new museum. Also the Pub next door to The Queens is the best pub in Doncaster The Masons! Town centre is a right dump these days though. It was sort of ace in the nineties and early 2000's but it's been a slow decline since. Unlike Barnsley which I visited a few weeks ago. Wow, talk about a renaissance! I ought to do a Vlog when I can be arsed.
I used to travel through Bawtry to get to Gainsborough to see my then fiance back in 1979 on my Gt750 mbike. Good memories of not Doncaster but Lincolnshire
Thank you for this, im from Donny and sick of seeing all the depressing videos of it. We have nice areas too haha and clearly the best fish and chips lol
When I was a kid in the 50 /60s my grandad always went to Doncaster races and he used to bring back us Doncaster butter scotch it was in a kind of slab in a white cardboard pack with butterscotch embossed writing they were all individually wrapped in silver foil ,my grandad had been severely wounded in ww1 in Belgium blown up he had shrapnel in his body when he died of cancer in 1969 ,great bloke
Just been to Whitby -Boyes-yesss!! Don't have that where I am. Boyes, Yorkshire Trading,on to The Spoonie,up the steps, Brewery, down the steps, shops, pubs,Pie & Mash,Pubs, beach,chat to lovely people. Do it all again the next day-Bliss. Enjoyed the Vlog-I like the style of your Vlogs so much.
We stayed in Doncaster on our way back to Cumbria. The Red Lion (weatherspoons) small room, red hot, no sleep! We went in The Queen Pub, it was ok, entertainment on. Thanks for that James. B
Doncaster Racecourse also held the first ever Aviation Event to be held in Britain in 1909. Early Aviators from around the world flew into Doncaster Racecourse to take part in this first event.
I’m a Southener born and bred but married a Yorkshireman ( Grimethorpe to be exact) and we have 3 adult kids, all, including my husband are as daft as a sack of knackers, all born comedians just like your good self, I only found your Chanel the day before yesterday and am now binge watching, loved this vlog,your dry sense of humour is what makes it for me and the fish and chips were making me “ Slava “ lol keep up the good work, Granny Linda 👍🤣🤭💕
As a constant watcher of your channel And yes we love you both and want you to do well. Forget the on the borderline clickbaite you don't need it what you think is a poor vlog its not to your followers as you can see on comments .yes you need a good thumbnail it draws people in but clickbate in my opinion works only temporary it's content that maters long term and yours is real , funny , and gives people ideas on you adventures wherever they may be. Keep going look forward to the next one . You could me some advice Its my wife's birthday should I get her 6 - 12 or 24 roses or give her the full tin.❤
I grew up in Donny and I’m back living here and I watched and enjoyed every second of this! I live quite out of town now so it was nice to see you walk around places I’ve not been in a while 😊
Brilliant James, comedy gold. Took me back to when I used to visit Donny back in the day as they always had the better shops than Scunny and it was undercover. Quite a bit has changed. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Cheers, Chris.
It's a day in your life James, it's reality! it was a great vlog, look at the positives! a 9.5 Fish and Chips, all of your subscribers are invested in you and your honest journey, never change and keep them vlogs coming, all the best
I have a fondness for Donny l was stationed there while in the RAF and still meet up there with my old RAF buddies for a day of booze and fun each summer remembering (Seventh Heaven night club). I love to drive around places see what's changed there l left Donny in 1986 and sadly my first born is buried there at Rose Hill cemetery 🌹 So l visit her grave and tidy it up along with a few other baby graves next to hers.l live in Rochdale now but Donny has a special place in my heart great memories along with a sad memory 🙏
It's been a lifetime since I've been to Doncaster, I used to go regularly as a kid 14/15 and me and my mate were up to allsorts! Smoke bombs under cars, letting stink bombs off in shopping centres, and my favourite was my mate inhaling the helium from balloons that we got from Millies Cookies, and he would go round asking people for the time in the squeaky voice!
Well I think you need a gold star for even setting foot in my home town. I live here and I hate it. Not so much the town but the kind of people that frequent it. Entertaining video as ever🥇👌
You are the kind of people that frequent it. If it's that bad why don't you leave? It's people that make cities. If you hate it you must hate yourself.
Rain is real life in Britain. Can't be in the sunshine every day, that is why when the sun is shining, us Brits probably appreciate it more than most elsewhere in the world. It made the Vlog very random, and I enjoyed it. Feel sorry for towns like Donny, some places just seem destined to be always near the bottom of the pile. It could do with a bit of good free publicity, and it bloody rains, typical. If the Fish and Chips can't be beaten, why a 9.5 rating? 😉
It all looked really good to me!! You can’t help the rain. Ooooh,, fish and chips!!! Looks bloody lovely!! You should have bought a pork pie for later!! Xx
I am a lorry driver used to Park in Doncaster over night sometimes can't remember how many years ago ,great place to go out in town very friendly and some times very very friendly if you know what I mean , all memories now, 😅
That was one of the most depressing videos I have seen.... Loved it 😂😂😂 I had a very similar experience in Hastings this week. Strange how cities and towns always look so depressing in the rain, yet countryside and coast always have a certain wild and interesting feel to them in adverse weather. Onwards and upwards James 👍, All the best, David
Fantastic again. Rained all day today in Pickering had to take refuge in a good chippy capplemans even served wine n beer result then went on pub crawl. Mushy peas to die for lol in chippy nice village worth a visit from ste n dragon
Weather crap...Vlog great! I left UK for Canada in 1990 and haven't been back in 20 years so this was fascinating . Your perseverance in the rain was appreciated!
Fish and chips saved the day. I did a week as a replacement salesman for Rowntree Mackintosh during the miners' strike in 1984. There was a pub in a former church in the centre of Doncaster. I wonder if it's still there?
@@helenreasbeck1348 Thanks for that info, Helen. It's funny how these videos open up memories. I was put up in a really nice hotel, opposite the pub/church, in the honeymoon suite with a four poster bed. I made the most and got my fiancée to come down from Darlington on the train for a couple of nights. We got married that August and we've just celebrated 39 years of wedded bliss 👍❤️👍 (well I say bliss...no... yeah👍🤣)
Doncaster Racecourse - The Doncaster Cup is the oldest horse race in the world, and the St Leger Stakes, is the oldest classic horse race in the world.
Well.i was born in donny left 1986. It,s all changed but it hurts to watch fish n Chips and mushy peas, but to wet ya wistle with dandelion n burdock... i just cried😂😢😢😢 Brilliant Video and thx. Brings back memories
Thomas Crapper was born in Doncaster. He held the patent for the floating ballcock. That's a great chat up line if ever you need one by the way.
It seems that he invented the toilet and the town fashioned itself on his invention as a tribute to him
I thought this was a load of crap till I googled it mind blown lol
Cheers mate 👍🏻
I'll use that on Friday night!
Born outside of Doncaster.... at Thorne.
James, that was not rubbish! I found it really relaxing and loved the comedy interludes. Your videos are just as good whether you’re with Helen or not. You have a lovely way of making the viewer feel like they’re just out for a day with you , really personal and one on one.
Keep doing you, don’t worry about the weather or the content, it always works…. That’s why your channel is growing so quickly.❤
I couldn't have put it better myself, so hope you don't mind me saying that I'll 2nd everything you've said there! 👍😊
Couldn't agree more 👏

Here here Mark. Couldn’t agree more. Freedom would seems to have become a dirty word?
Oh God, you have summed it up so well. Isn't it depressing....
We'll never get the 70s, 80s back 😢
We'll said
Spot on mark. This isn't my world anymore.
My old dad used to say to me "Don't run yourself down to others as there's always some bugger willing to do it for you." He was right. Still enjoyed this outing with you but keep the self-doubt under control. Time to get out your copy of Marcus Aurelius's book, perhaps? 🙂
Good old Britain … Only fish and chips can rescue a shite day in wall to wall rain ☔️ I like your tell it how it is style 🤣👍
You are doing a grand job lad. Just keeping it real. Thank you for your efforts. You do make me giggle.
Thank you so much :-)
Love your pronunciation of Tickhill, you said tickle. My wife was born there on a small holding on Lord Scarborough’s estate. She calls it TickHill stressing the hill. Tickle had me laughing😂 “What’s up there? Sod all” 😂🤣
That's the posh way of saying it 😂
Getting more and more professional, without losing the humour, rawness and down-to-earthness - goooood lad!
Thank you
Nice to see you still cracked on, even though the weather was totally against you!. Always nice to see where you are gonna be popping up. Keep up the good work and hope you feel better soon James 👍
That was so lovely you took his face of the vlog he asked this is why youre so liked guys xxx
Excellent editing. The pub scene floored me. You Brits don't let the weather stop you. 😂
Brolly goes up.....instant ASMR walking video 😂.
Great vlog mate. Your 'Slice of life' videos are brilliant. Keep up the good work.
Love a look round the different places on a bit of a walking tour...looks very clean. Nice and cosy on the sofa watching the rain x
James you're Doncaster vlog has done better than you thought I bet,I assumed you were busy because you've not got back to many comments not even a simple red heart of appreciation.
It's difficult, I try to reply to as many as I can but it can get a little overwhelming

17:20 the living definition of "its grim up north". When it rains, it rains without stopping.

Just a fact about lakeside, there stands the Dome which, when built in the 1980’s was Europes largest indoor leisure centre with the only two-tier ice skating rink. It stands on the site of the former Doncaster Airport which I believe hosted the worlds first aeroplane race
Good one James! ⛈☔😢.......😂Loved the pub scene. And, saved by a winning fish&chips. I've not seen the Flying Scotsman, will have to check that out. Thanks for tonight's entertainment.
Thank you. The fish and chips saves the day 😊
Kevin keegan was from Doncaster. Douglas Barder's mum lived in Doncaster And not forgetting the world famous Jeremy Clarkson and Paddington bear & Dianna Rigg
As a man and wife who travel the U.Ks Beaches i love your videos, I photograph beaches and storms and will come across your travels as our worlds collide, great work and one of my favourite vloggers to watch to date, well done you!
Thanks Ian, you should start a vlog
Great vlog James. You're so entertaining.
Me and my other half want to go on the lash with you both, you are the most down to earth people we have watched ont youtube.... Keep up the good sarcastic funny work 😅
Great Job James. Can’t help rain and good to have a brief look around Donny. The F &C review was spot on.
Charlie Williams was from Donny. Most of it's a dump but the surrounding areas are nice like Bessacar, Wadworth, Tickhil,l where Clarkson was born. There are some great pubs and restaurants in the town centre, oops sorry, city centre. Very run down in places, but lots of big industry and opportunities if you can be bothered to drive to. I worked there for 18 months, commuting from Sheffield, proper Yorkshire lads and lasses. Great vid James, thanks.
Ha ha. Great video. Particularly enjoyed your honesty.
Especially enjoyed you driving past my house in Tickhill! 😀
Best wishes from me here in Bangkok, Thailand.
James have you ever watched the episode of Black Mirror with Salma Hyack? Black mirror is a great series to watch on Netflix on the road 😊
Very interesting vlog...cheers! Well you made me laugh you just gotta get out of the van even if it's raining! That pub was a nice suprise in the rain 🙂
Brilliant as always James ❤thanks
Oof, fancy missing off Nigel Gresley Square, Cast, The Savoy and the spectacular new museum. Also the Pub next door to The Queens is the best pub in Doncaster The Masons! Town centre is a right dump these days though. It was sort of ace in the nineties and early 2000's but it's been a slow decline since. Unlike Barnsley which I visited a few weeks ago. Wow, talk about a renaissance! I ought to do a Vlog when I can be arsed.
I used to travel through Bawtry to get to Gainsborough to see my then fiance back in 1979 on my Gt750 mbike. Good memories of not Doncaster but Lincolnshire
I liked that, seems like i am witnessing you record a time in history that will be watched in many years, thanks for uploading mate, subscribed ✌️
Absolutely gripping content I can't stop laughing Helen would have loved the charity shop 😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for this, im from Donny and sick of seeing all the depressing videos of it. We have nice areas too haha and clearly the best fish and chips lol
My pleasure!
Love it when you blog and you look so excited lol.
When I was a kid in the 50 /60s my grandad always went to Doncaster races and he used to bring back us Doncaster butter scotch it was in a kind of slab in a white cardboard pack with butterscotch embossed writing they were all individually wrapped in silver foil ,my grandad had been severely wounded in ww1 in Belgium blown up he had shrapnel in his body when he died of cancer in 1969 ,great bloke
Just been to Whitby -Boyes-yesss!! Don't have that where I am. Boyes, Yorkshire Trading,on to The Spoonie,up the steps, Brewery, down the steps, shops, pubs,Pie & Mash,Pubs, beach,chat to lovely people. Do it all again the next day-Bliss. Enjoyed the Vlog-I like the style of your Vlogs so much.
We stayed in Doncaster on our way back to Cumbria. The Red Lion (weatherspoons) small room, red hot, no sleep! We went in The Queen Pub, it was ok, entertainment on. Thanks for that James. B
Doncaster Racecourse also held the first ever Aviation Event to be held in Britain in 1909. Early Aviators from around the world flew into Doncaster Racecourse to take part in this first event.
I’m a Southener born and bred but married a Yorkshireman ( Grimethorpe to be exact) and we have 3 adult kids, all, including my husband are as daft as a sack of knackers, all born comedians just like your good self, I only found your Chanel the day before yesterday and am now binge watching, loved this vlog,your dry sense of humour is what makes it for me and the fish and chips were making me “ Slava “ lol keep up the good work, Granny Linda 👍🤣🤭💕
Thank you Linda and thanks for subscribing 😊
Watching your real life videos living in Sunny spain really makes me appreciate my new life . Get you and Helen in the van to Sunny Almería
Great vlog James love watching you thanks 4 sharing
As a constant watcher of your channel And yes we love you both and want you to do well.
Forget the on the borderline clickbaite you don't need it what you think is a poor vlog its not to your followers as you can see on comments .yes you need a good thumbnail it draws people in but clickbate in my opinion works only temporary it's content that maters long term and yours is real , funny , and gives people ideas on you adventures wherever they may be.
Keep going look forward to the next one .
You could me some advice Its my wife's birthday should I get her 6 - 12 or 24 roses or give her the full tin.❤
I grew up in Donny and I’m back living here and I watched and enjoyed every second of this! I live quite out of town now so it was nice to see you walk around places I’ve not been in a while 😊
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it
Bawtry is beautiful at Christmas ❤❤
I remember the 1960's tv ads for Yorkshire Caravans of Bawtry, the kid say's to his father, "Can we 'ave one dad?"
Brilliant James, comedy gold. Took me back to when I used to visit Donny back in the day as they always had the better shops than Scunny and it was undercover. Quite a bit has changed. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Cheers, Chris.
Absolutely hilarious. Hubby and I loved this vlog 🤣🤣
It's a day in your life James, it's reality! it was a great vlog, look at the positives! a 9.5 Fish and Chips, all of your subscribers are invested in you and your honest journey, never change and keep them vlogs coming, all the best
Thanks mate 👍
Another great vlog, I've been to that chippy and it is awesome thanks for sharing 👍🏻
I have a fondness for Donny l was stationed there while in the RAF and still meet up there with my old RAF buddies for a day of booze and fun each summer remembering (Seventh Heaven night club). I love to drive around places see what's changed there l left Donny in 1986 and sadly my first born is buried there at Rose Hill cemetery 🌹 So l visit her grave and tidy it up along with a few other baby graves next to hers.l live in Rochdale now but Donny has a special place in my heart great memories along with a sad memory 🙏
It's been a lifetime since I've been to Doncaster, I used to go regularly as a kid 14/15 and me and my mate were up to allsorts! Smoke bombs under cars, letting stink bombs off in shopping centres, and my favourite was my mate inhaling the helium from balloons that we got from Millies Cookies, and he would go round asking people for the time in the squeaky voice!
Well I think you need a gold star for even setting foot in my home town. I live here and I hate it. Not so much the town but the kind of people that frequent it. Entertaining video as ever🥇👌
You are the kind of people that frequent it. If it's that bad why don't you leave? It's people that make cities. If you hate it you must hate yourself.
Rain is real life in Britain. Can't be in the sunshine every day, that is why when the sun is shining, us Brits probably appreciate it more than most elsewhere in the world. It made the Vlog very random, and I enjoyed it. Feel sorry for towns like Donny, some places just seem destined to be always near the bottom of the pile. It could do with a bit of good free publicity, and it bloody rains, typical. If the Fish and Chips can't be beaten, why a 9.5 rating? 😉
It all looked really good to me!!
You can’t help the rain.
Ooooh,, fish and chips!!! Looks bloody lovely!! You should have bought a pork pie for later!! Xx
I am a lorry driver used to Park in Doncaster over night sometimes can't remember how many years ago ,great place to go out in town very friendly and some times very very friendly if you know what I mean , all memories now, 😅
That was one of the most depressing videos I have seen.... Loved it 😂😂😂 I had a very similar experience in Hastings this week. Strange how cities and towns always look so depressing in the rain, yet countryside and coast always have a certain wild and interesting feel to them in adverse weather. Onwards and upwards James 👍, All the best, David
Thanks David. I'm. Just trying to film a vlog in a storm. It's very depressing 😂
@@bythecurb I shall look forward to it 😉
Havent been home in years good seeing how some of the places i misspent my youth have change
British people need to stop supporting foreign owned business's. Spend money supporting your own people.
Fantastic again. Rained all day today in Pickering had to take refuge in a good chippy capplemans even served wine n beer result then went on pub crawl. Mushy peas to die for lol in chippy nice village worth a visit from ste n dragon
Always on the look out for a good Chippy James. I'm only 30 mins away in Sheff so will have a drive out next week.
Get thisen to Peats chippy Grenoside pal lovely Jubbly!
Do love a well presented family owned butchers shop, some pothole at 05:40 - could go fishing in that.
Thanks again fella
14:15 Jeremy Clarkson is from Doncaster
Bloomin 'eck lad.. my gaff... looking forward to this!..
I'm almost sure open all hours is filmed in Doncaster 🤔
Yes it was. In Balby
Weather crap...Vlog great! I left UK for Canada in 1990 and haven't been back in 20 years so this was fascinating .
Your perseverance in the rain was appreciated!
Great videos. You 2 bounce off each other. Keep the good work coming
Stumbled across your channel a couple of weeks ago, bloody love it and now have the other half hooked as well!
Thank you so much, thanks for the sub
Fish and chips saved the day. I did a week as a replacement salesman for Rowntree Mackintosh during the miners' strike in 1984.
There was a pub in a former church in the centre of Doncaster. I wonder if it's still there?
It’s still there but closed atm, not sure if it’s getting renovated
@@helenreasbeck1348 Thanks for that info, Helen.
It's funny how these videos open up memories.
I was put up in a really nice hotel, opposite the pub/church, in the honeymoon suite with a four poster bed.
I made the most and got my fiancée to come down from Darlington on the train for a couple of nights. We got married that August and we've just celebrated 39 years of wedded bliss 👍❤️👍 (well I say bliss...no... yeah👍🤣)
Camelots as it was.
Doncaster Racecourse - The Doncaster Cup is the oldest horse race in the world, and the St Leger Stakes, is the oldest classic horse race in the world.
Well.i was born in donny left 1986. It,s all changed but it hurts to watch fish n Chips and mushy peas, but to wet ya wistle with dandelion n burdock... i just cried😂😢😢😢
