    Recently came across your channel, and decided to go through loads of your old videos and came across this one. I am currently living in Plymouh and glad you both had a nice time, so much to do and explore around here. Some of my fav nearby places that are good for a mooch if you come down again are;
    - Looe (in Cornwall)
    - Totnes
    - Dartmouth
    You can also do boat trips from the Barbican that take you a few places like Cawsand or mount edgecombe (Cremyll) but they also just do ones that show you come of the local areas. They are dog friendly on most if not all. Our fav is the river yealm cruise, but all are nice.

    Hi Brogan, I really enjoy watching your vlogs with my partner. As a Plymouth local of 27 years I am so sorry you were recommended rockfish and not one of traditional chip shops. There is SO much to see and do in and around Plymouth.
    If you go again or if anyone in the comments is going. Here's what I suggest to make the most of Plymouth and beyond:
    Thee aquarium, which was Europe's biggest tanks for a long time.
    Lydford is a great village to visit North of Plymouth on Dartmoor, it has a waterfall which is gorgeous, and a really decent dog friendly walk.
    Plymouth hoe, there isn't anything like it, I would advise parking at the old toys r us which is 10-15 min walk to the hoe with £5 parking all day. Walk from there via Amarda Way up onto the Hoe and you can really appreciate the panoramic views you get once you hit the promenade (long runway on top of the Hoe)
    The war memorials are some of the biggest in the country. Smeatons tower was never originally on the hoe and was rebuilt and broken several times when actually out in Plymouth Sound.
    The Terrace cafe has gorgeous views suspended off the fortified rocks of the sound you can enjoy a coffee or a small bite here.
    The island in the sound is (Sir Francis) Drake's Island. Nothing special about it really but Drake was a bastion historical individual for the city who achieved so many things like world circumnavigation and beating the Spanish Amarda but not before he finished his game of bowls. He was also town mayor and MP.
    Mt Batten has a fortfied turret, and a restaurant and bar which has veiws of Plymouth hoe, further out into the sound and again across to cornwall. You can get a ferry here from the barbican.
    Royal William yard was our old naval base, and has been turned into a social place with expensive apartments. Great for evening dining. Theres veiws of the Tamar river, and cornwall.
    The part of cornwall you see from Royal William yard is Mt Edgcumbe, then it goes around to the interesting peninsula of Rame Head which boasts beautiful quaint villages and beaches like Cremyll, kingsand and Cawsand, whitsand bay. You can get a boat from Royal william yard (Cremyll Ferry). Mt Edgcumbe also has its own ship wreck you can see a mast coming out of the sea but you need to be at a certain beach to see this which isnt technically named.
    The barbican. The traditional and delicious fish and chips be found at one of the many fish n chip shops on the barbicans main cobbled area. I usually get fish n chips from barbican fish bar on southside street. Plymouth Gin distillery and restaurant is towards the end of this road going towards the city centre. The mayflower steps, where the pilgrims set sail from to land in America, are a ceremonial place really but still a very cool to see. The original steps are actually in the celler of the pub Admiral Macbride. The Barbican is quaint and full of nooks and crannies to explore. There's a miller and Carter with veiws like no other on Sutton harbour. Even a theatre and an old tudor house you can visit.
    The Box is Plymouths brand new museum, it's exquisite and really helps to visualise Plymouths national importance and historical relevance.
    Brogan, if you can, please visit Plymouth again. I would love to be yours, Benji & Bonnies personal guide and teach some Janner (Plymouth dialect). You can have an actual pasty (pasties were invented in Plymouth).
    Great video and thanks for spotlighting Plymouth.
    Restaurant recommendations:
    Yukisan (japanese, traditional)
    Wet Wok (chinese)
    Maritimo's (tapas)
    Marco Pierrr Whites
    Miller and carter

    As much as Comic Sans isn't glamorous I think they could've chosen that font as it is very easy to read so all the clearly labelled items, pieces of technology and warnings can be seen by all people who stay as some people may find more 'prettier' fonts difficult to read? I don't know just a thought! I checked it out on air b&b as I thought it looked a great base for me, my boyfriend and our dog to visit but it's practically fully booked the rest of the year 🙈 dam! xx

    Wonderful guys. Oh first of all I hope Benji's car gets sorted from the overheating issues. So glad it didn't spoil your trip. LOVE lighthouses!!! I may have mentioned before. lol That one there looked gorgeous, and what a setting. The mini golf course had a replica lighthouse too. I can't wait to play someday again. Some of those holes seemed rather tricky! OMG that mannequin would've startled me as well! lol Your accommodations were pretty cool if not quirky with all the labelling :) Admit to being little concerned over you and Benji getting into a spat over the font especially when you first arrived. Anyway, all good I guess.

    About the fish place, i think that when a restaurant is offering that many dishes, a single one just can't be so very good. I like the restaurants with a limited dishes, that way the chances are that the single dish would be very well made.

    • @brogantatexo

Obviously it’s a practical and neutral colour. Loved all the little extras and nice touches. Bonnie was so excited bless her❣️really enjoyed watching this.

    Comic Sans is a universal font. And is easiest to read for those with sight issues and dyslexia. So whilst it might not fit your aesthetic it’s being used for a reason

    • @brogantatexo
      @brogantatexo  3 года назад

      Yes that’s fair enough Mary, most places don’t have writing on walls though. I understand in handbooks etc, but I am allowed to personally not like something if it ruins the aesthetic (in my opinion), but it was more just a light-heart joke about the overuse of the font everywhere

      @marymaryquitecontrary4730 3 года назад

      @@brogantatexo you actually said the font itself offended you - sorry I’m not quoting you verbatim as I don’t have time to rewatch.
      I’m merely saying I imagine the reason that comic sans was used is for the above mentioned reasons.

      @brogantatexo  3 года назад
