I thought you said "last walrus" but then realised it was Woolworths... Nice one
Me too!!
Glad I am not the only one who thought that
Me three 😳
For a moment I wondered if Petts Woods was once known for their walruses.
I am disappointed at the reaction to my mild speech impediment.
Refreshers, love hearts, vanilla fudge.
Refreshers are teeth breakers!
@@cdwc for me, when the fizz makes your nose tingle. I hate that.
Plenty of interesting facts on this walk. Thx. Merry Maid toffees for me! Thankfully you can still get them and they taste exactly the same.
Sweet peanuts shrimps and black jacks😊
Shrimps has been the most popular sweet on here I think.
I live close to Petts Wood and cant believe that there were a few 'facts' about the place that I wasnt aware of, I do though fondly remember Woolworths there. Thats a great walk that helped make an enjoyable video.
Nice one! Shrimps, cola bottles, flying saucers and white chocolate mice
That's Four!!!!!!
Oh yes. 3 in the bag and one in my mouth for luck.
It’s good those bridge walls are high. Might slow down the S#icides
Dolly mixtures (they remind me of my dad), Pear drops and Fruit Pastilles
Dolly mixtures remind me of my doctor when I was a kid. He had a big tub of them in his room and he would give me a handful for being a good girl. God that sounds creepy. Haha!
I always enjoyed dolly mixtures too.
Nice one Marek. I hope you get more than the train fine for your lovely ebay art work. Fingers crossed 🤞
I am currently £130 short. Ha.
Definitely milk bottles, plus aniseed balls and lemon sherbets would make my top 3 pick'n'mix selection. Looks like a nice walk, maybe a little close to suburbia for my liking, though the carved bears look really cool especially old 'fish knob'
I completely forgot about Aniseed balls. They were great when you just wanted one sweet if you know what I mean.
Blimey! Last week Knockholt this week Petts Wood/Chislehurst, the places of my formative years. My first ever job was working for a picture framer in Petts Wood while (unsuccessfully) putting myself through art college. Three sweets: fizzy cola bottles, sherbet lemons, and twix if chocolate falls under 'sweets' otherwise honeycomb pieces.
I cannot allow chocolate bars in the sweet section. I am afraid you have had your pick and mix confiscated.
@@cdwc but, but, but sir, I asked if it was allowed or not and included an non-choc alternative? ohhhhh. does this mean I have to come to your study after lessons for special punishment?
Sour skittles, Yorkshire mixtures and soft mints. Stay cool xox
I had to look up Yorkshire mixtures. You like the hard sweets.
Strawberry laces, symphony milk chocolate, and jelly babies for me.
Good to see another strawberry lace fan
@@cdwc They are so good! I only wish I could get them more often where I am.
JUST WATCHED KLANG GANG. I knew you had a lot of character and comedy in you but THE KLANG SHOW on bbc was very anarchic and funny.
Great walk. Bear trail looks good. Shame Woolworths closed. Used to be one of my favourite shops when I was a child. You could get virtually anything in there. Airfix kits as well as pick and mix. Whatever happened to gob stopper😢. The way things are going, you could pay that now for pick and mix.
I remember the fireball gobstoppers which change flavours in your mouth. They were brilliant.
@@cdwc its a shame they stopped making them. Bad news if you swallowed one.🚀
Knockholt, Petts Wood, you're getting perilously close to my house Marek. Sweets: Rhubarb & Custard, Lemon Sherbets and Fizzy Cherry Cola Bottles. All subject to change at any given moment. And I fancy some Tooti Frooties now.
I don't think my teeth would survive tootie frooties now.
Pick and mix lives on at Wilkinsons. They have a sour cherry cola rollup, which fits the bottom of the cup perfectly, for maximum quantity. I like those bobbly-berry ones and the teeth and lips combo.
I did not know that they had moved. Pick and Mix should really have their own shop.
Oooh my son is impressed that you used in the hall of the mountain king in your vid. He loves that piece of music because of his love of Alton towers. We've even added it to our car playlist!
I would love to do that bear trail. It looks ace. Me and my friend are doing a trail from Cannock chase to Chasewater on Saturday. I can't wait!
Sorry about your fine. Eeek!
If I could only have three sweets for the rest of my life it would have to be white mice, jazzles and ice cups. Jelly sweets and boiled sweets can get in the bin.
He wouldn't have recognised my attempt to play it at the end. Ha.
@@cdwc Aww! Haha! He recognised it straight away.
Sweets: Rhubarb and custard, pear drops, shrimps...
Shrimps are getting a good showing on here.
This is worth watching if only for the sheer childlike pleasure you demonstrated at the wave from the train driver. Love it. Sweets would have to be fruit salad, blackjacks and sherbet lemons. The confectionery of champions! Cd#123
They are all teethbreakers!
@@cdwc ...got to keep the first two in your walking trousers to soften up.
My three would have to be pear drops, liquorice wands and strawberry pencils 😊
Walked much of that route as part of the London Loop, which we are about half way through. Lots of it, especially along the railway can get extremely boggy in the winter/early spring.
Pear drops, cough candy, rhubarb and custard.
Always great to see Marek's marvellous bimbles. My 3 confectionary choices (based on textures) are fried eggs, cola cubes, and moon dust.
Fried eggs are great.
Rewatching Dec ‘23
Pets Wood My neck of the woods 😊
Nice one
Another great video 😁 Love your narration. Those Bears look amazing 😁 If you feel up for a walk dedicated to finding them I'm sure everyone will enjoy it. My favourites are Strawberry Pencils, Blue M&Ms and White Buenos 😁
I chuckled way too much at the 'fish sandwich' one XD I also would love to see them all they are quite cute.
I will seek out these white buenos!
Me too :D
Yay :D They're so very tasty :D
You’re getting nearer! I’ll have to start looking out for you in Orpington and surrounding countryside 👀
Look out for a walking egg.
Love the name of your channel and wonderful walk. Thanks for all the info as well. It was really entertaining. -H
Also, I don't do sweets but it was interesting to see some that Brits eat. -H
Nice one. Thanks cool dude.
£14k for a pic’n’mix. sounds about right. I would choose Cola Cubes, Catherine Wheels & Opal Fruits. The green ones are the best
I am very glad you used the correct name for Opal Fruits. Ha.
My three sweets would be: Ice Cups, vanilla fudge and chocolate raisins.
Chocolate raisins are delicious. I remember I once convinced myself they were healthy.
@@cdwc Are you telling me they're NOT part of my 5 a day😯
Thanks Marek. I really enjoyed that one. I'll include Petts Wood Circular Walk next time I'm in London. Excellent to see the driver wave at you. It was always one of my favourite thrills. Sorry about your experience with South West Trains.
I should have told the ticket inspector I am friends with the train drivers!
I like Parkinson's Fruit Thins, Pascals Fruit Bonbons, and Spangles (any flavour except Old English) 😁 God, this ages me!
I don't think I've tried any of these.
My perfect pick n mix would consist of those big giant jelly strawberries 🍓, fruit salads and jelly beans.
Thanks for another great vid Marek 😊 Sorry to hear bout the hefty train fine tho
They charge you the price of the ticket on the day plus £100. It is terrible.
I really enjoyed this lovely video with my hot chocolate ☕ debs xx ......
Thanks Debs and congratulations on doing the Walk the Wight!
@@cdwc yes was alot fun,but i think doing a 27 mile speed walk the week before done me in think with my hip and old knee injury from my pen y fan death hike was worse pain ever felt but i am proud i finished it..and as arnie says ill be back debs xx
My choices for the sweet Ark are cola bottles, beer bottles and pink mice.
Beer bottles were fantastic but I never seem to see them anywhere any more.
Dime Bar, another Dime Bar, and…. another Dime Bar 😊
Uh oh...I don't really like Dime Bars.
@@cdwcTo each their own, Cool Dude 😊
My three: sugared almonds, pineapple cubes and peanut brittle.
I have not had a pineapple cube in about 40 years.
Much better walks in EAST Kent!!
Loved the walk, the bears and the daring fox! Used to love Woolworths pick and mix, loved fizzy cola bottles and milk bottles. Sorry to hear about the fine, seemed very unfair. Your painting is awesome. Thanks for another great walk.
Thanks cool dude. I am a big fan of cola bottles but I also loved the beer bottle ones you could get.
@@cdwc awww yeah, forgot about those beer bottles - I loved those! Well, it’s only taken a few hours and already I am unhappy with my eternal pick n mix choice and wanna swap for sum beer bottles lol 🙄
Well Marek. Seems like we have passed like strangers in the night as you are in my daughter's abode PW & I was in yours IOW for the past week. So while you were doing things I often do here, I was doing things you often do there...if that makes sense. Best part was 3 red squirrels who came every day at 6am & 6pm to sit on the veranda & eat nuts I put out for them. Made a change from feeding Gus. You defo would have been Col Edelman's bestie it seems! Train drivers often wave at me from that bridge, but SW trains need a 🖕by the sound of it. Oh my. My dad used to buy me these choccy knobs filled with toffee back in the day...jumblies he called them. I've never found them anywhere now but I'd have them. Elizabeth 1st visited that manor when she came out to see her subjects... men were excavating the site last time I was there finding all sorts of bits! x J x
I hope you enjoyed your holiday. Red squirrels are like hitting the Isle of Wight jackpot I expect you saw the is overrun with pigeons.
@@cdwc Yep, did see one or two cooing as they do!! But blackbirds a-plenty, egrets, swans & also two green woodpeckers who also came daily for crumbs. They seemed to love Rice Krispies strangely Odd. One sat right next to me at 6am munching away & didn't bat an eyelid. Mad. Also hares. They have huge ears🐰My family got chased by a herd of cows up on the downs at Blackgang on the way back from The Pepperpot. I thought of you! The holds a special place in my 💚....x J x
I ignored the bear walk link but will be going back to that in a minute 😊
Cola bottles, flumps & flying saucers for me please!
I remember the big plastic cases of flumps you could get, but you'd feel sick after about five.
Native species 🐦⬛🦅
My sweeties would be cough candy, sherbet lemons and vanilla fudge
My parents bought me some fudge back from their holiday, but it felt as though they had scrimped on the vanilla.
Another walk close to where I used to live. Have walked in Scadbury park a few times and have enjoyed many a pint in the Daylight Inn. I even worked in Petts Wood for a while, and I remember the Woolies! Ah, the memories!
Nice one cool dude. The Daylight Inn is an excellent name for a pub.
My brother in law has a shop in Petts Wood. So great to see you there. Awesome.
Does he offer a cool dudes discount?
Dolly mixtures would be my choice for forever sweet
Delicious
Nice one, cool dude! Couldn't believe it when I heard my name!!! 😊
Nice one cool dude. Can you email me your address to cooldudeswalkingclub@gmail.com. Thank you and also thank you for supporting me.
Oh, hullo, cool dude!
Lovely bit of air percussion at the end.
3 sweets; floral gums, soft liquorice and maoam pinballs. 🤤
Maoam's are good, but it feels like they sixty years to break down in your stomach.
@@cdwc the liquorice helps flush them through!
I wish I could use "Good Luck Everyone...especially Me." as a sound bite on my gaming stream. Especially when I play games like Dead By Daylight where I'm playing against others.
My three candies for the rest of my life would be.
1. Sour Watermelons
2. Maple Sugar Candies
3. Sour Patch Kids
I am very interested in those Maple Sugar Candies.
I’ve done the bear trail
I wish I had a bear emoji. The closest I have made is a cow.
Another great walk Marek. 😃👍 I really miss Woolworths. I only found out last year that my Wife doesn't work there anymore ! 😳 My three sweeties would be the 'Pink Shrimps', the 'Fruit Salad' chews & any flavour Fudge Chunks. Enjoying the Kent trip mate. Must take a look one day. 👍😃 We've just got back from the Peak District. What a beautiful area of the UK. My Son & I walked a little bit of the 'Tissington Trail'. Well work a look Marek, there's a few Camp Sites around there too. Take it easy Cool Dude. 👍😃
One day I hope to explore the Peak District cool dude. Glad you had a good break.
Nice walk, Marek. Of particular interest to me as I used to live near Petts Wood.
I remember being thrown out of a pub there in the mid 1990s.
Sweet top 3: Fizzy cola bottles, those coloured gummy bears (goldbears?) and those white chocolate discs covered in hundreds & thousands
Those discs are always deceptively nice. Cola bottles were a close fourth. I think I needed a different texture so I went for milk bottles.
Rhubarb and Custard, Army and Navy sweets.
I don’t think I have ever tried Army and Navy.
Thank you Marek , my three sweets would be ... Sherbet Lemons, Werther's original and Jelly Babies, but I would miss liquorice allsorts!
Liquorice allsorts is a good option to sneak a load of different sweets in.
On the contrary. That reason alone would make you the best spy.
Maybe I was telling that story because I am already a spy. Love the new logo.
Another walking treat. Another walk close to London is the Chess Valley Walk ( if you haven't already done it ) that goes past the rather impressive school where some of 'Raiders of the lost ark' was filmed. Though you can't really see it. Nice one cool dude.
I think I may have done a walk past that on a Cheshunt walk which was on my main channel before I started this cool dude. :niceone:
I'm going here on Sat with a mate of mine, and we will be going to: The Daylight Inn as well!
One of my fav parts of Kent in the borough of Bromley 😀
Would you do another part of Kent, say somewhere in Sevenoaks like Swanley + Swanley Park, Hockenden Wood, etc??
I live in Kent right between Dartford/Bexleyheath 👍🏻
Hopefully I will be back to do some more Kent walks cool dude. I am based on the Isle of Wight so it's a bit of a trek. Have a great walk on Saturday
@@cdwc That would be brill thanks, blimey the Isle of Wight-have you always lived there or did you move there later in life to the Isle of Wight??
Thanks-sure I will do 👍🏻
Strawberry laces, milk bottles and clunkers. Woolworths is the biggest supermarket chain in Australia. I simply don’t believe that you hate pigeons. And I think you are very handsome but I understand your pain. Once I was ask to take part in extra work for my sewing school advertisement picture. I gave my best over acted sewing extra performance, 4 years at acting school to back that up. And they cut me out of all pictures. I suspect I was too good looking for them.
I HATE PIGEONS. THEY WAKE ME UP EVERY MORNING AT 5AM WITH THEIR STUPID COOING. Meanwhile, excellent sweet choices. I have never tried a Clunker, but I like the name. I might change my name to Clunker Larwood.
I think I'd go with Reese's, Skittles, and M&Ms
You must be based in the US.
Parma violets, shrimps(not the disgusting coconut version!), Milk bottles
I was waiting for the first appearance of shrimps!
Re; your illustration of Basil Screwby bribing a navvy, I think it should be ‘nicker’, rather than ‘licker’.
Oh yes. I always make a few mistakes every video. Ha.
@@cdwc Do I get a prize for spotting it - pedant of the week perhaps?
Bananas chews wjocj were 2p and rhubarb & custard boiled sweets plz 😋
Banana chews are a good one.
Lemon Sherberts, Toffee Crumble and Strawberry Foams would be my top three choices. Another marvellous walk and obvious lunch menu selection. When will we be getting the burger icon to use?
Strawberry Foams? What are they? The Burger icon has lost in a few icon polls. I need to get to 400 members before I can do another poll. That should be some time in 2025.
@@cdwc Actually, looks like they commonly go by the name foam strawberries. Google them and I am sure you will recognise them. Cheers CD
Coconut mushrooms, liqurish, Topic or Smarties.
You missed William Willets house very near you
Shrimps, bananas and blackcurrant bonbons
Shrimps proving very popular.
Unfortunately British rail are doing up these footbridges so you can't see over the top.
0:40 Thought the 2 behind you were robbing the place for a split second.
145 quid, ouch, sorry that happened to you. When I was a lot younger, I was travelling home on a Southern train with a Thameslink ticket and honestly didn't know. Up until that point, I don't think I'd ever spent more than 2 seconds looking at a train ticket. Still to this day I remember being rigid with fear, and thankfully the man let me off (probably a certain degree of gender privilege too, that's not lost on me).
I can't remember what was available at the pick n mix, but if they had chocolate covered raisins I'd get a bag of just that, very tasty.
I was unlucky enough to be on the same train as the revenue collection special ticket people. It must be a horrible job but they were also total arseholes.
I’d have peppermint crisp, sqirms and white knight
OR, if I can’t cheat…
Fantails, snakes & nipples
Snakes and nipples sounds a bit dodgy.
C £14500
indigenous birds, you mean, yes?
Yes, that was the word. Ha.
@@cdwc oh gosh, I've had that moment plenty of times. where I'm thinking of similar words but not the exact one I want
Have you always hated pigeons? What about the pigeons from Pigeon Street? Surely you think they're cute...
They wake me up every morning cooing from five o’clock. I have grown to hate them more. They are everywhere I go walking, like a grey plague. Ha.
Death wish fox 🦊
The closest I have is a squirrel
If only you were wearing your Black Ops police outfit on the train they might have let you off your fine.
I have to watch that still.
I thought Petts Wood was preprogrammed into male DNA until I saw this video
Bloody directors.
You have to be ultra boring to be a spy.
I may live in the States now, but I am from Wigan, so Mint balls, Mint balls and Mint Balls.
I am going to open up a mint ball shop.
You went all the way to Petts Wood and didn't see any pets? Oh no, that was last week... 🐕🦮
Cola cubes, refresher chews and space dust, please 😁
I have not seen any Cola cubes in a while.
Fantastic video but £145 fine, that's a bit steep! What happened to warnings? Think id google & see if you could appeal on the grounds of Human Error, maybe? How lovely to see the train driver waving!
Sweets:- cola cubes, jelly babies & i've always liked milk bottles too!
You have to pay the train ticket £45, plus a £100 penalty fee. They reduce this to £50 if you pay early. I have appealed. Fingers crossed.
Curses, when will I ever win the prize draw?!
Anyway, my fav. sweets are probably the sugar covered haribo cherries, classic percy p's, and crok pik Haribo. Those are reserved for only the coolest of dudes.
Finally, I would like to add I feel very strongly that the UK should stay on BST and eliminate Daylight Savings. If I was PM this would be one of the first things I would pass into law. Thank you and good day to you, sir. And come back to Kent.
I will never vote for you to be Prime Minister.
Parakeet telling the local bird where to go made me actually laugh out loud. And Chris Martin might not stump up a million for the pic, but could surely set you right for £145! Unbelievable from South West trains, who I will now add to the list of travel companies that I refuse to use. Hrummph on your behalf! It's them and Ryanair at the moment. (I reserve the right to reverse this decision if I am ever stranded without hope somewhere in The South West. But it's the thought that counts, right?)
I can understand it when they fine people who are trying to dodge fare tickets, but when it is obvious that it's a mistake and they treat you like a criminal it turn me into
Enjoyed it and realized that I no understanding of the rating system. Does more Marek heads mean fewer people encountered?
Yes, it is not logical. The more heads means more people so it is sort of an inverse rating system.
Nice one
:niceone:
Nice one
