Unlucky Darren. I sent you a little Pay Pal donation towards your fine. Your a great guy. Thank you for all your hard work. You and the MacMaster are the top 2 👌 don't get any more fines 😂.
@@DarrenJohn your welcome mate, look forward to watching the Charles Dickens museum if your going to visit and film. Believe they got something like that in Broadstairs Seafront too. Think it's 1 of his homes he lived in.
I had to park in London recently for a full day's work.. I parked on a yellow and got fined £60.. If I had paid to park up the road it would have cost me £70 for 10 hours. I think I got a bargain! ... 😂
Darren John I feel your pain mate 😢, I had a similar experience when I landed in the island of Fiji, got off the plane, went straight to the duty free, bought beers & spirits... Didn't try to hide them or anything, went to leave the airport to get a taxi to the hotel, customs pulled me to one side, & told me I wasn't allowed them, I'd spoken to the guy in duty free & he said it was fine, when I told customs this, they said of course he would say that! 😂 That's when the penny dropped mate, lol.. luckily being friendly & naive helped me leave the airport with everything I bought 👍
Chips looked anaemic, but the rest looked nice. Sorry you got caught with the parking. Glad I dont live/work in London what with congestion charges, lack of parking etc x
Hi Darren, This happened to me to .I drove from Farnham Surrey up to The good old Regency Cafe at Westminster a while ago in a 2015 reg van looking at a job whilst there. Two weeks later i got a letter in the post with a picture of me driving the van all red faced and full after my lovely meal and an £80 fine on top of my breakfast costs. This was around the time of the ulez changes and me being in a fairly new vehicle at the time i thought all was well. (ulez fines) The most expensive breakfast ever thanks to the lovely mayor of London. Great video Darren. Steve. 👍
Honestly that was a pure tourist trap, wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. For £18 the portion especially the Haddock was miniscule. There are much better fish and chip shops in the Marylebone area just off Oxford Street.
Nice fish & chip vlog DJ. Shaftesbury Avenue yes that’s right in the heart of London and theatre land. What rotten luck with the bike fine. I feel for you on that score especially as the shop owner told you it was ok. I guess you could say “hook, line and sinker” with that one!
Haven't been back in the UK for 12 years and based on the cost of living there i doubt i ever will....love your bike though...watching from Cape Town....really decent fish and chips here is equivalent of £3.50.
So thats why they call it Shaftesbury Avenue - you got shafted! TFL are obscene too, £80/£160 charges for the tiniest thing. Who would want to drive in London? Thought the chips looked a tad undercooked for my taste. Bit on the pale side.
I used to visit lots of businesses all around London and i never met one owner/employee that didn't say it was okay tp park outside. After a £120 fine I never listened to them again.
Oliver Twist, you want more.....Brilliant. Those Fish & Chips looked Devine Darren & I hope you had a word with the Restaurant owner for saying you can park your bike there.
No offence, but for all those saying it was bad luck getting the ticket I would say if you'd have a had a think about it rather than listening to the shop owner it was more of a foregone conclusion. It did constitute an obstruction after all. Could have gone either way, but if the traffic wardens were around in that area it was a bit inevitable.
Gotta agree with you. Parking on the pavement in Central London is a big no no. Taking the word of the shop owner is foolish, you don't see any other bikes parked on the pavement for a reason.
Damn Darren, that's why I don't like it anymore to visit big cities. They almost want you to stay home. And then the amount of fine. Overreacting in my point of view. Nevertheless you had a nice meal and in this case you paid also the dinner for Kahn. Keep up the spirit!!
Oh no DJ, such a shame getting a fine, i once drove my car from north to Central London, parked it behind Oxford Street, got an £80 fine, since then i take public transport going into town, great looking 🐟 and 🍟
Hi DJ. These parking run companies are money grabbing leaches. Wherever one seems to go, machines request cards. Then the machine is allegedly faulty and hey presto a ticket or fine in post later. Bring back the little man in a ticket box plus it's employment for someone. Lovely see Daisy in full bloom and of course very nice plate fish chips. Sorry re the ticket, obscene fine IMO.
Another great video, Wonder what the MacMaster would have thought of the skin being left on? When are you going to do more collaborations with the MacMaster they were always great fun.
London for parking anyway is dreadful no such thing as free parking seen alot of penalty notices on cars parked on double yellow which is why i stick to public transport or walking
Since I got my new cat and called it Ben, it seems like the name is everywhere even a chippy in London😸😸😸your old mate Lee would have liked it, nice bit of fish and chips,oooops Daisy!!
Hey DJ I reckon that sort of thing has happened to the best of us! I parked in Nottingham once, had no change so ran to a shop to get some and in literally 10 minutes I got a fine! Apart from having to pay the fine … as you say … never again! Life’s too short to dwell on it … it happens! The fish and chips? Looked good but I can’t abide tartare or any sauce served in plastic! I’d prefer a huge dollop of it from a big bowl freshly made out back! We always say sauces set an establishment apart from another don’t we? Can’t wait for the next one!! 🏍️🤟
Do we always say that? I don't, so...yeah, very assumptive. Why the lack of tolerance towards sauces served in plastic? Are you an eco-warrior, concerned about sauce quality, or both?
Ooooh! That was painful! I'm sure it's happened to all of us at some point but I would imagine parking in London is tricky at the best of times 😢 👍👍👍 for Daisy Juke❤🅰️
Great to see you here again Boyzee, great food...shame about the ticket etc, but things like that make you stronger about the sad rules. Booomin great vid!!!
You mentioned about the Charles Dickens museum. If you're ever in Portsmouth we have the Charles Dickens birthplace museum. Again it's a small terraced house that you would never guess was a museum.
Go to London, I guarantee you’ll either be mugged or not appreciated. Catch the train to London, stopping at Rejection, Disappointment, Backstabbing Central and Shattered Dreams Parkway 😆 Nice video mate 👍
Hi Darren, as you know Haddock is very good for you being loaded with vitamin B and Omega 3 fatty acids. But the concentration of the vitamins are in the skin of the fish and therefore a good reason to eat the skin.(Also for the flavour).😂
Aaaw what a shame, Daisy wasn’t doing any harm. There she was, sitting minding her own business and then two jobsworths come along and spoil it. The fish and chips looked lovely and the skin thing still goes on. Personally, I like fish skin as I like chicken skin provided it’s cooked well and crispy. I agree with StevenLL on this, he is so right. The skin is packed with great nutrients and is so good for you. Why people squirm about it beats me. Glad you enjoyed your lunch, despite the cost ! 😮
The only reason I have for not eating skin is that donkeys years ago I had a battered fish and there were tiny maggots still alive on the skin. Unfortunately, things like that never leave you.
I do sympathise with you Darren regarding your fine, but once they allow one person to park on the footway they have then given the green light for all and sundry to do the same - before you know it the whole pavement will be blocked with vehicles. I know you love riding your magnificent Daisy, but probably best to leave her at home when you go to central London….the wardens are shit hot for dishing out fines.
I popped into an Irish pub in North London for a "free " pint of Guinness on Sr Patrick 's Day. The 60 quid parking ticket made it a very expensive free drink.
You managed to stay chipper about the meal even though you had the ticket in your wallet. Thats good stuff there. I had this happen to me once in Washington DC and it never happened again. Funny how people not paying the ticket, will always say, "Oh your fine there, mate. They never ticket for that around here." At least, the meal was good, and the day was sunny. And you got see where Charles Dickens home is. If I had a bike that I love as much as you love Daisy, I don't prefer to be parking her between cars that will back into her and just leave. Anyway. Fun if expensive, video.
Makes you wonder if London deserves visitors. Would love to see the Charles Dickens museum - and actually any other museum you care to share with us. x
Hi darren bad luck about the fine theres always someone out to spoil your day fish and chips looked great daisy duke sounded in fine form too you and the macmaster are my favourite food critics hows mum luke and mia going keep up the good work.❤❤😅😅
Awe Darren that was an expensive review Sorry you got a costly parking fine Bit much telling you that it was ok to park there Fish & chips looked good thought the chips were bit pale tbh Top vlog as always xx👍👍
Always interesting to hear everyone's idea of how they like their food to look. I agree chips could of been ever so slightly browner - but tasted great 🙏
DJ that looked great, and for London prices £98 is good value 👌..joking of course, I feel for you having that happen, I saw the skin on your fish as soon as you cut into it,not for me when I have Salmon I never eat the skin,and have never had a battered fish from a chippy (Shop) with Skin on up north.
Something similar happened to me, friend of mine and I went to dinner at a nice restaurant. parking was across the street in lot, when we came out, the car had been TOWED! had to take a cab to the impound lot and $100 to get the car out, ouch
Scumbag traffic wardens and parking in London generally is a complete piss take.. Don’t get me started on Congestion charging and ULEZ, Kharnt is a to33er😡
oh dear! Hate London for parking, usually travel to London by train now or outside the current ULEZ and get tubes into the city. Was that ketchup Heinz? looked a bit watery (Edit, just seen where you said it wasn't, always think if you take the cheap option as an establishment cutting cost corners, what other corners are they willing to cut?)
Wow! Such a shame you were fined for parking 🙄 typical though, it’s the same in a lot of cities and towns now… Fantastic video though as usual… Great content and a great presenter… Have you touched base with Lee Darren to see how he’s getting on? All his health troubles were while you were on the road trip? Hope to see a collab soon.. Keep up the great vids mate 👍🏻Love them
Great food review looked good. Sorry to see you getting the ticket but as always you roll with it and keep smiling. Yet another great vlog. Thanks Darren.
Hi Darren, what a great area that looks, I've never been to London, it just looks sooo good though. The Dickens museum would be good to see, and him writing Oliver Twist there is awesome. Daisy wow what a bike, stunner. Sorry about the fine Mate. The fish and chips looked amazing and nicely cooked and crispy. See you on the next one Mate 😎📸
Fish and chips looked ok, so all good. Loved the literary reference to Oliver Twist, a well written book there. I asked my girlfriend if she liked Dickens, she said she did but not on a first date.
Another well presented video I don't like skin on fish, so I won't be visitung this restaurant. Which fish 'n chip shops in London take off the skin .. do you know of any ?
Billings Gate, some lovely eateries if you love fish. Brick Lane has a few quality eateries, but they can be hit and miss. Had a lovely BBQ there last time.
Those parkys are like vultures. I understand the need to keep London moving and penalising cars and vans on the pavement, but they should be more relaxed about bikes. Daisy wasn't impeding anyone going about their business.
Ouch!! Mate that ain't good, thought the fish looked a wee bit on the thin side to be honest, and the chips could do with a bit more colour for me. Take care. p.s. we haven't had a Father & Son video for a while, would be good to have another lunch meet, maybe where Luke chooses the venue?
If it was the owner who actually told you it would be ok he should have known . If l was him I'd have given you a few vouchers Daren for fish and chips. Apart from that it looked very good and l love haddock with skin on it definitely adds to the flavour .
You deserve that, more people need to be fined for parking on the pavement, as a pedestrian, it is annoying af. Drivers complain about us being on the road AT ALL because we don't pay road tax but then happily park on where we CAN and are SUPPOSED to walk. Get a grip with reality :D
Unlucky Darren. I sent you a little Pay Pal donation towards your fine. Your a great guy. Thank you for all your hard work. You and the MacMaster are the top 2 👌 don't get any more fines 😂.
Much appreciated, unexpected but thank you

Omg, that is a terrible £100 charge, but that's why I use public transport in London its a nightmare otherwise. Great vid cheers.

That’s why I moved to spain, London is a nightmare with all the parking, congestion charge, low emission zone, speed cameras, bus lanes 😂
Surprise surprise - You get a fine for parking your high powered motor bike on the pavement in central London at lunchtime !
Completely out of everyone's way, 👍🏼
Consider yourself at home
Consider yourself part of the family.
Your doing a great job buddy.
Chips looked anaemic, but the rest looked nice. Sorry you got caught with the parking. Glad I dont live/work in London what with congestion charges, lack of parking etc x

The original manuscript for Great Expectations sits in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum in Wisbech, my home town.
Honestly that was a pure tourist trap, wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. For £18 the portion especially the Haddock was miniscule. There are much better fish and chip shops in the Marylebone area just off Oxford Street.
There's even better ones in Yorkshire - for half the price as well...

Really positive stuff, Darren, truly impressed and full of respect for the manner you rolled with the penalty punches, so to speak. 👍🏼🇹🇭🇬🇧
The fish and chips looked delicious, £100 that’s something else. Thanks for sharing Darren John.
I would give the location as a 10, but the food a 9. I always look for a parking sign because I don't trust most people.
I used to visit lots of businesses all around London and i never met one owner/employee that didn't say it was okay tp park outside. After a £120 fine I never listened to them again.

I thought I may as well continue as the ticket was already dome
That fish n chips looks gorgeous
I'm from the North West UK and have eaten fish and ships all my life, and I've NEVER been served it with skin on.. the thought turns my stomach..

Fish and chips looked lovely
Enjoyed watching
Best wishes Darren 👍
Not been near London since 1970,saw what I needed to see and never wanted to go back,and have no desire to ever go back again.
When you seen them hovering over your bike why didn't you go over and say you had delivered something to the shop and got off?
Great One Darren 👍.Shame You Got A Ticket 😱
You need to get up to Leeds and try some proper fish n chips

The only reason I have for not eating skin is that donkeys years ago I had a battered fish and there were tiny maggots still alive on the skin. Unfortunately, things like that never leave you.
Can’t help thinking how on earth maggots (or anything for that matter) could survive boiling hot oil ?
Good video Darren, bring on the next one!

In my opinoin Haddock is far more tastier than Cod, skin on or off doesn't bother me either so long as it's fresh...

Yes £100, only because he got a parking ticket!
Aww bless you,happens to us all.xx
sorry for your fine I have stopped driving in London because I cant seem to stop getting tickets!
I would have been flaming with the chip shop owner after telling me it was OK to park.
If I get a parking fine in London it's sometimes cheaper than paying for parking.
😂😂
Makes you wonder if London deserves visitors. Would love to see the Charles Dickens museum - and actually any other museum you care to share with us. x
I used to film a lot of museums - maybe I shall start again
All traffic wardens deserve the same fate as Rob Brydon's character in lock, stock & 2 smoking barrels.
£100. for fish and chips ? that's 3 weeks food shopping for my wife and I.

No brown bits on the Chips at all, which adds flavour.
