Hello! I was the drummer. Thanks for showing us! 😊(and if you want to film us again, get in contact!)
We thought you were great 😊
Always good to see jack n Vera out having a good time
Ha perfect
I went to a fair at the weekend, there was a Thai Street Food Stall there and the cheapest thing they sold was a tiny bowl of fried rice with a few peas in it for £11.50... decided to give it a miss and bought a lovely sandwich from Aldi for £1.19... I was so proud of myself 😀 Hate being ripped off😡
Well done, that's what we would've done! 😂
Capaccino £4 now... F*** that
Helen's bloodhound instinct for finding the bar is very impressive 😂
Wetherspoons as a company have restored and preserved hundreds of buildings that would have ended up lost so I am a fan.
Yes. Me too
A very fair point regards the buildings. I must admit the last time I had food in Wetherspoons it was very cheap , but very poor . Perhaps they have improved ?
when supermarkets opened in the 60's they lured people with cheap prices until over time they decimated all competition, Now they charge whatever they want.
@@philyaboots1 Amazon is using the same strategy.
Neverspoons - they've closed a load of nice pubs.
Unbelivable being charged £10.50 each for entrance to that 'festival' it's akin to paying to enter a shopping mall. I reckon that once a week James, you, or Helen, should have a 'Rant of the week' feature on the channel. The way this country is going I'm sure you wouldn't be short of material! Anyway, thanks for another fun and entertaining video....All the best to you both.
Rant of the week would be good 👍
3 cheers for rant of the week.
As a local I can only apologise for these tourist trap events, we never go to these as it over priced tat. It's designed to get the middle aged middle class ladies to overpay for artisan crafts.
On a normal Saturday that field is used for parkrun and kids football.. glad you found the real heart of the town.
I love Harrogate. Was my first gallop on a horse across the fields there. Never forget as I had learnt to ride a horse in my dreams ❤ thanks beauties
Totally with you on this. Same here in Cornwall and it's getting out of control. You are basically paying a substantial fee just to enter a trade show. Usually a really crap one too. You are also charged extortionate amounts for food and drink. The traders should take the hit on the cost of setting themselves up on the venue and promoting their products with discounted prices for the day and getting repeat business from this. After all, it's usually an annual event. It should be a business marketing expense. The Royal Cornwall show is an event I have boycotted years ago for this very reason. It's not just because I am a tight 50 plus year old grumpy Yorkshireman either!
Some truth in that somewhere 😂
Keep it up both of you. You provide so much entertainment and happiness to all your subscribers
Loved this vlog because Harrogate is our favourite place and we try to get there as often as possible. Little Ale house and starlings cafe bar are our favourite places 😊
Never mind the steak. I’m English but live in Mexico and finding any kind of pork pie or even sausage roll is impossible here. Watching you guys eat English classics makes me jealous 😂
Sorry Sean but I’m eating a freshly made pork pie right now.
Thinking of you bro 🤗
Thats the life, just chilling out. God bless you both and have a wonderful and blessed time. Rob from Wales ✌️ 🙏
Thanks Rob
“We’re not paying a tenner to get in “ Then your in 😂😂😂😂 - loving this gem of a channel
😂Thank you
You 2 absolutely lift me you really make me belly laugh plus your Mums from Carlisle - one of us ❤️ xx
Absolute quality as always just what you need to make you smile keep them coming top drawer 👍👍
Its great that Spoons, nice beer garden too. We stayed in the Travel Lodge next to it and parked our car at the back of the pub. There's a good blues bar near Betty's Teas and although Harrogate can be a bit expensive and snobby its a lovely atmosphere and place for a mooch round. Helen looked gorgeous in all white James... maybe one day she'll be in that all white dress? Best wishes and thanks for the entertainment! ❤
One of the nicest Spoons I've been in, such a shame the service was so slow but we'll let them off as it was too hot!!
Wow... seeing Trotters brought back 2 years of drunken memories on those steps as a very young, naive squaddie '91 to '93 🎉
I am new to your channel, love it. I had a neighbour who was from Barnsley and you remind me of him, never lost his accent and he had lived down south for years, he was my best mate.
Thanks for watching, glad you like the videos
Great video once again. So glad we didn't go to the food festival. As for the cattlemans been many times. Looking forward for your next trip. Love to Helen.
Did anyone else notice, at the salt stall, Helen marking a vote both for and against their new salt? "I like em both" 😆🙃 Really enjoy the channel, keep it up
😂😂😂 I noticed that when I was editing the video but didn't say anything, you're the only other person to notice up to now!
Thank you for capturing a fair bit of Harrogate. You strolled along a part of The Stray close to our house along the Empress Roundabout where we lived 22 years ago. It's so nice to see what's new (Winter Garden) and what's still there (Betty's Tea Rooms). Back then the Cattlemen's Grill was called the Cattlemen's Association. Great to see that that they're still serving tasty steaks.
Yes you was robbed at that food festival! Where do they get off charging for that, I'm not surprised you were upset . So funny seeing you both, especially Helen, get ever so slightly squiffy😂
Seriously brilliant. Pair of you making good progress in you tube. Who could not enjoy the entertainment.
Southport Food and Drink Festival was over the first weekend in June this year. Free entry........and there's a Wetherspoons five minute walk away! Helen's smile should be available on the NHS.
Awesome, a Bluetti! I had to look up Stilton, I didn't know it was an English blue cheese. I'll be going through Las Vegas tomorrow so I will think of the 2 of you getting married at the Elvis Chapel. Thanks for sharing the day and dinner with us. Helen, it looks like you're ready for anything with all you carry in your bag. Take care you two.
Thank you, enjoy Vegas, we'd love to visit one day. Stilton is quite a strong cheese but it was lovely with the pork pie
You two make me smile every time, I fell upon you with the Ripon Video due to it been local to me, now I can’t stop watching.
Thank you, glad you like
Did you know James.. Harrogate is London of the North .. great to see you both in good spirits 🙏🏼
It was very up market, we enjoyed it but preferred Ripon
great video as always... Helens bag a the end lol I could hear Jim Bowen at the back of my brain ....'look what you could have won'... lol
You guys crack me up me and my husband love your videos we was saying you would have been better off putting a couple of quid in busking box and getting 6 pints at weatherspoons with what they charged to get in there lol we are camper vaners to and we wouldn’t pay that either lol keep up the good content guys you are amazing ❤😊
I agree, we love watching buskers and I want to have more of them on the channel
@@bythecurb yeah I don’t think they get enough credit and all these fancy fancy poxy places that want to charge you a tenner for a burger 🍔 lol sod that I’m a Yorkshire lass and I’m tight I was thinking the twenty odd quid to get in there would have got me about 6 pints 🍺 ha ha
You are the best of the 100 and something van life and wildcamping channels i subscribe to, Definately a game changer on you tube, Harrogate looked awesome, Have been to Knaresborough a few times over the years and enjoy a few tiples there, Brill vid love that you keep it real
Thank you, we plan on going to Knaresborough soon
Enjoyed this as I live in Harrogate. If you ever come back, you can park for free on St James Drive on the Stray - quite a few campervans in the summer months and a much shorter walk 😅
Thanks for the tip 👍😊
Fantastic channel and as I've always said on here.... Let's get these two their own programme!
21 quid to walk into a field is robbery mate. Keep up the superb entertainment.
Thank you 😊
Feel good, upbeat comedy. 5 stars!
Totally agree about the entrance fee disgusting but they are missing a trick by charging people because more would attend and spend more if it was free. Love the idea of recognising local street bands great idea for extra content
Hi you two. Love watching your adventures.
Can you do a shout out to me Caroline and my amazing husband Wayne.
We chill out watching you instead of boring old TV.
Keep on doing what your doing we love it!
Xx
Thank you, will do a shout out in one of the upcoming videos
Brilliant video mate, I always really enjoy the park the van up and have a mooch around for the day videos, shame about being fleeced at that “festival” 😂
All those "sort of things" are like that these days. We were in Galway the other day and Mrs spots an art festival - there was no jeffing art it was about sixteen food stalls with over priced burgers.
Brilliant video!! You two are just adorable xx we love Wetherspoons at Harrogate too xx
It was great in there
Harrogate Weatherspoons is an amazing building. We went into Harrogate for first time during restrictions period, most pubs needs bookings so couldn't get in, Weatherspoons just let us in. We just spent the night moving round the building and having rounds in different spots :P Was a great night! :)
We really enjoyed Harrogate
The woman’s handbag is like a never ending black hole
Peter: There's a Ration Book from WW11 🤣🤣🤣
Another cracking video . keep them coming folks .
Brilliant wat a awesome day out you two never fail to make me smile ..Helen Yr amazing ..you both are such a lovely couple loved the end lol the depths of a woman's handbag 😂❤ xx
Your videos are brilliant James and Helen all the best
Thank you!
Apart from the Harrogate Festival disappointment, it looked a cracking day!! The lads singing a class Oasis tune, looked some good pubs and I’m a huge OFAH Fan loved the van outside the Trotters bar!! The food looked quality to! Great video guys!!!! 😀 ….Smithy
Thanks Smithy, we love OFAH too!
Ah my second home town! Was going to suggest Harrogate for a visit ..nice seeing it in the sun lol x
Love the pub crawl/ reviews❤️❤️👍👍
House wife’s of Afghanistan
😂 brilliant as always Both
That’s the poshest Wetherspoons, I’ve ever seen
Thank you, my favourite Wetherspoons yet
Pork Pie with Stilton and Pimms quaint essential british in Harrogate 🏴🏴🏴 Thank goodness for Wetherspoons 😂 excellent video you two loved it ❤❤❤ The perfect blend of the best and the worst. Keep it up xx
That's the nicest spoons I've ever seen
Just lovely content.....as always... love island! where's a tsunami when you need one...much love to you both
You can tell your from Yorkshire!! So tight 😂😂
Arh my favourite kind of video from you guys, although I watch and love them all, and Helen at the end with her bag of tricks again made me chuckle, girl after my own heart 😂
Great idea about the busker feature.🎸
Helen is soooooo funny loved it thank you
Great video as always, did Helen get the other half of the pie ...oasis tribute lads were very good too..onwards and be safe guys
Yes, or my life wouldn't be worth living!! 😂
'Fat Tony's' lol 😂
I heard a rumour that Churchill gave a speech from that semi circle as you go down the first set of stairs in Wetherspoons.
It had seating there when we visited.
I’d sure like to try one of those vegan buffalo burgers 😂 . Nice rant by the way .
I love the open spaces of Harrogate along with Betty's T rooms but like you two good Yorkshire folk I hate being ripped off. L have been to great exibitions there the best one was around 1987 to the Lego exhibition. Busker reviews great idea , love it
Thanks, I want to try and get some great buskers on the channel
I know you both like Spain. If you haven’t done it before. Head out to Bilbao for a weekend, you’ll be blown away who great it is. Best tapas in the world. Nightlife,culture. If you feel brave enough to drive, it’s easy and relaxed there, as they are very strict with the speed limits.
Ha ha, you two are such a good watch, keep it up!!! 😆
Thank you!
Excellent rant 😂😂😂😂 not sure what you expected in affluent Harrogate food and drink fayre but made me laugh so much. Top video again....catching up with them all slowly. Keep them coming
As a Harrogate lad born and bread I can tell you that the food fair you visited was on land known as the Stray .The green parkland around town centre was left to the common people of Harrogate as a public space .I’m pretty sure that as such you shouldn’t of had to pay a fee to enter . I’m Disgusted and ashamed that you was charged .sadly Harrogate council is run by a bunch of toffs who don’t have the true towns people best at heart .Glad to say I moved away and wouldn’t go back .Great videos from two proper lovely Yorkshire tikes ,keep em coming 👍😉
Thanks mate 😊
Over here in NZ we are quite advanced in APP technology and we have a 'smell' app, this allows us to smell food etc. and that steak that you had smelt delicious and Helen's perfume is exquisite, but I had to turn it off when you went through that cow field. Enjoyed the video. Cheers from the mountains of NZ ☺☺
😂😂 Yes it was a bit wiffy near those cows
Strange you should mention getting married in Vegas. My son and daughter in law got married by Elvis in Vegas. We watched at home on a live link. Drinking Asti whilst wearing my wedding fascinator.
21 quid just to get in it's like the Shrewsbury flower show absolute piss take lol great video both 👍
James you remind me of that Victor Melrew geezer don’t take it bad like 🤣👍
£10:50 entry fee to an overpriced open air trade fair! You were robbed and rightly peeved James 😂
I love harrogate its loverly ,haven't stayed there just visited for a day Shame about the festival ,but defferently a RIP off that much to get in ,not lime you got free things, loved tbe blog ange
How the heck does Helen manage to keep her white clothes so clean after a day mooching around in Harrogate? I'd look like I'd been down a pit all day if I tried that, your lady has superpowers! Impressive.
Wetherspoons Harrogate is in part of what was The Royal Baths, if you had ventured around the other side of the building you would have found Royal Baths Chinese Restaurant. amazing food in an amazing setting
The £10 was to keep you safe from us plebs.
Brilliant video, reminds me of the country show we went to last year, ladies trying to sell us homemade jam at £6.50 a jar, tiny block of cheese (three bites) from a fiver and individual chocolates being sold at £2 each or six for the bargain price of a tenner................Ermmmm, no love, I'm a Yorkshireman, you'll have to get up earlier than that to catch me out.
There's one food festival in Wetherby soon.a rip off to get in.everybody wants their pound of flesh. Should of been free,after all it is a free public park,where can you usually buy those pork pies how much did they cost.
You know I love your video I’ve just realized Helen looks similar to my missing sister in law Tina satchwell kinda uncanny she is bubbly as well great work my friend 😊
Im so sorry to hear about your sister in law ❤
I worked in the Squinting Cat when it was a real pub early 70's, lived on the same lane Whinney Lane where in the sixties my Dad owned Ye Olde Village Shoppe a lovely area of Harrogate now spoilt by new housing that has totally ruined the area completely .At 21.16 you are passing my Grandparents old house known in the fifties as Chelsea Cottage on Pannal Ash Road which was painted all white way back then and still that colour today except it is now split into two .
That food fair used to be free when it was on the streets in Harrogate around 2006:7 when I lived there. What a swizz eh ! Complain in writing to the greedy council
Head to Ripley about 4 miles from Harrogate for a ice cream then a walk a round the deer park
Size of that steak. Helen must love a meaty one 😂😂 enjoy guys. Another great vid.
Good god man! I need to speak to my mother! Because there's no way we aren't brothers, the ranty similarities are just too great!😂
😂😂
Loved the video, I've been to a few fairs, some street fairs no tents just walk around and get market food, when you go toa event what charges you to enter, there's usually a lot more choice, sometimes the food is good and sometimes crapp, and expensive, but the stall holders pay to be on the fair the organisers pay for the ground rent the marquees advertising the workers,the bins and the litter picckers and toilets, i know where you are coming from if theres not much there i would have asked for my money back, and go to a pub, where i know i would enjoy it more, enjoying the Channel, looking forto the next video, more entertaining than ITV BBC OR CHANNEL 4 OR 5 😂
Thank you, I know that the vendors pay a substantial amount to get a pitch so have to put their prices up to cover costs
Did you get half of the Stilton pork pie Helen. I need closure 😋
She did 😂
Get yourselves to Emley Show next year!
Lmao haha for fk sake Helen love ya moves James you should of given a Shabba at the end of Helen's groove lmao love to the pair of you lol keep brining in the smiles God bless
Someone should open a chain of 'Something Something Steak Houses'!
Look at you two getting recognised wherever you go , you’ll be having the pap’s after youse before long 😂 .
In North Wales it's bloody £20 Each to get through Gate. I would't pay it. Same thing.
Nissan Urinator 😂😂😂
This was one of your best guys so so funny and real keep them coming it’s great 😊❤
Thank you
Bloody love you two, your vids are honest, and joyful. James is sexy yet grumpy and Helen is a breath of fresh air. I look forward to watching your glimpses into your lives.
Thank you! 😳🙂
try Burnsall, North Yorkshire, .very nice town.
You mentioned wheat beer. Having helped Hoegaarden remain in business for over 30 years, as a consumer, perhaps a vlog tasting some soughtafter brews locally might work. The Commercial in Chapeltown, Sheffield served Hoegaarden, but not been there for 20 years!
Just watched you short fil regarding patreons....and shorts.
I'd love to see some shorts on 'outtakes' or 'bloopers'
And maybe one on how to set a UA-cam channel For Dummies, like Me !
Thanks for great footage and candid humour
Thank you, those are some great ideas
Great vid as usual guys !!
We once went to a so called good festival in Leeds, we paid £15 each to get in and the food was extortionate and awful. We paid £4 for the worst donut we've ever eaten. Never went to a food festival again
Poor you 🙄
Great vlog again. That band were very good. As for food festivals, I agree. Have you been to "farmers' markets" where you can meet marmalade and chutney farmers? 🙂
Loving the music James X and the end 😂😂😂
Thank you!
Love a Yorkshire rant 😂. What happened to the charger review James? 😂🏴
I've just said he should do one and if he doesn't like it he should raffle it off to us lot at £10 a number ! I'm definitely in for a couple of numbers 😂.
Winter garden was fantastic
Seeing the van and then the sinister music on approach was very Ted Levine. Am just so glad James didn’t need help from Helen with a sofa! 😧
Hahaha that joke at the beginning brilliant !
