Mr. Palmer: We enjoyed a private tour with Julian only last week and we can assure you of a fantastic time. Julian is exactly as one sees him in his films: He's exceptionally informed, funny, and his pronouncements take on a lyrical quality seldom heard on a tour. It's as if one is strolling with a dear friend.
Just shows you that although he never gained much fame in his acting career .. how could those people not see his talents .. der .. he is such an affable intelligent and engaging character
Hello Patrick i am from Singapore i met lots of British here in my country honestly i think u British are really full of humour. I really love British comedy sitcoms. 1 of my favourite is the thin blue line starring Rowan Atkinson. And my favourite British movie is Bernard and the genie starring Alan Cumming. Also the Irish and the Scottish are full of humour.
Amazing how many of these expressions are still in use by we Americans...not having the vaguest notion of their origins. Thank to you Joolz for giving us these very interesting explanations.
Brilliant! Another awesome vid! so glad you continued the English Idioms, Phrases and Sayings series. Much enjoyed and appreciated. I always wondered why some tankards had clear bottoms! That's amazing! Thanks again for making my Sunday morning and for the OFAH reference. I always wondered what the "stick a pony in your pocket" meant. Thanks for posting!! Keep em coming!! This time next year, you'll be a millionaire!!
Amurican here...I loved this. We share so many of these expressions because historically our language and cultural references are so intertwined. But our knowledge of these origins and history that Joolz drops here is sadly lacking. Thanks for the schooling!!
I wonder if the clear tankard bottom led to the expression, "here's looking at you"? Great video! Joolz, you are definitely the guy to contact when visiting London for the first time!
Once again Joolz !! Your videos reveal my wretched ignorance and then rescue me from it. A true gentleman, raconteur, and bon vivant. Merry Christmas and the very best in the New Year - and my regards to LLL.
Spinner’s weasel or clock reel is a mechanical yarn measuring device consisting of a spoked wheel with gears attached to a pointer on a marked face (which looks like a clock) and an internal mechanism which makes a “pop” sound after the desired length of yarn is measured (usually a skein). You were paid by the length so the weasel's pop meant your pay was going up.
Wow! I have just discovered your channel and, year 2021 with Covid keeping us all cooped in, you make my life better and always put a smile on my face. Thanks!
You are so fun! I always smile when I watch your videos & sometimes giggle!! I have always been perplexed about the saying ‘bottom’s up!’ 30 years later, now I know. Thanks.
Joolz you are very simply the most entertaining presenter on RUclips in 2020 and i just loved this episode, all best from Australia....PS: Love your Only fools and Horses y Minder references too!
Thank you Joolz!! Its always so delightful to hear from you. Lovely Christmas decorations on Regent Street! I wish I was there to see them with you. Merry Christmas luv!

I want this guy to be my tour guide when I'm visiting London. I'm sure it will be a fun and informative tour.

Re: The Dogs Bollocks
I heard that it was a printer's term for the symbol :-
Love the videos
Great vid as usual Jules!👍 I love the history of our old words and sayings, they're so colourful and fun. Thanks.😊
Just shows you that although he never gained much fame in his acting career .. how could those people not see his talents .. der .. he is such an affable intelligent and engaging character
@@riceyo62 he was just meant to be doing what he's doing. You have to admit he is a very unique character filling a very unique niche
Ah Julian, you're a refreshing dash of educated banter in a dumbed-down world. . . thank you! 👍👍👍
especially the wank jokes.

Merry Christmas Joolz. Thanks for another year of great videos!
Thanks! And a Merry Christmas to you too!
Many a pint have I quaffed in The Eagle. Cheers, Joolz, and bottoms up!
Nothing makes me happier than learning the true meaning of Idioms! Thank you very much!
I have an antique beer mug with a glass bottom, now I know why! Thanks Joolz
Brilliant. The Cockney translation of Pop the Weasel is worth the price of admission alone!
pop goes the weasel was great to know...
Jules, I absolutely love your videos! You are a national treasure to England. Keep up the good work, please!
As an American I always enjoy you videos , humor, and intelligence.

Wish I could afford to go to London. She will always be in my heart. Love your channel. Greetings from Germany
Ive Made it 6 times from Texas. GERMANY should be no problem to get to London.
Amurican here...I loved this. We share so many of these expressions because historically our language and cultural references are so intertwined. But our knowledge of these origins and history that Joolz drops here is sadly lacking.
Thanks for the schooling!!
Joolz, you’ve done it again! Brilliant, totally brilliant.
I don’t get tired of watching his videos I really enjoy them. Very informative and funny. Great work as always.
Joolz, love your guides. Look forward to seeing the UK in the not too distant future.
The Christmas lights were a beautiful addition. Thank you :)
London fell off of my bucket list 15 years ago. Your videos have put it back on the list!! Merry Christmas Joolz! Cheers!
I wonder if the clear tankard bottom led to the expression, "here's looking at you"? Great video! Joolz, you are definitely the guy to contact when visiting London for the first time!
I learn something new every time I watch a Joolz video...... Thanks for posting.
You sir confuse and entertain me at the same time. I love it!
Brilliant, as always. Cheers!
Just have to say again this was a GEM..... Bottoms up, love it
Once again Joolz !! Your videos reveal my wretched ignorance and then rescue me from it. A true gentleman, raconteur, and bon vivant. Merry Christmas and the very best in the New Year - and my regards to LLL.
Never tier of this educational, humerous waffle. Wish our old history teachers had one tenth of this knowledge 😅
I always thought "the dog's bollocks" was just a more slangy version of "the bee's knees".
I love learning about words
So great to see new video. Just love seeing you walk us through London
Amazing !! Thanks !! Looking forward to the next one !!
I like these English language videos a lot. Keep making them, please.
You have the most amazing videos! I love seeming them. You are a fountain of knowledge.
Another absolutely spiffing video 😊
These are just great... Thank you!
Very well explained Joolz. Thank you.
Love your videos! Can’t wait to go back to London-and get a private Joolz tour! Cheers!
Kathy Melchin That’s exactly my intention too! Next year for sure
I teach legal English in France and sharing your videos all around
Make more of these videos. So much learning and entertainment in one video!
Excellent. Loved every fun fact moment.

Hey Jules how about doing a video of film locations around London?
GREAT IDEA!!! 👍
Seaside resorts.
Great idea - would have to include a tour of Aldwych Tube Station - now unused and often used for films requiring a 'tube scene'. Super interesting!!
Love the bit where we could see your shadow while filming yourself. Fun video. Merry Christmas, Julian! ⛄️🎄🌟
Very Good. Cheers
wow loved it, Thanks Joolz 🙏🍀

I'll be heading over that way next year. Can't wait to set up a tour. Happiest of Christmas, to you and yours.
Great mate, you must feel knackered after that!
We also have the saying Humble pie in the USA as well as Crow.
Crow was a new one to me!
It is to me too and I’m American.
@@quinncowan7551 You never heard eating crow? Its an old one thats been in Movies, Films, and TV. Are you young? I asked that because I don't hear it much these days.
as in, eat crow!
I’m 21
Saw your Shepard's bush one and found it pretty good .
Brilliant!
The king's shilling was also offered by the British army. Wouldn't want anyone to feel left out, now. Thank you another entertaining and informative video. Cheers!
Very interested about words off the past London thank you jozzls
Cracking as usual 👌
Outstanding as always. A Place Id Love Too See!!!!! Look up 3 Square Meals.
A square meal was something to do with royal navy how tgey served their food in square trays.
I believe so anyway.

Thanks Joolz, I loved hearing about "the weasel" and seeing the Christmas lights of London. Wishing you a Merry Christmas for you and your family.
