James, that was not rubbish! I found it really relaxing and loved the comedy interludes. Your videos are just as good whether you’re with Helen or not. You have a lovely way of making the viewer feel like they’re just out for a day with you , really personal and one on one.
Keep doing you, don’t worry about the weather or the content, it always works…. That’s why your channel is growing so quickly.❤
I couldn't have put it better myself, so hope you don't mind me saying that I'll 2nd everything you've said there! 👍😊
Couldn't agree more 👏
Well said. 👏🏼
Ditto..you just make your vlogs real James by vlogging as it is..as you said you can't help the weather...we love watching your reactions to where you are..and I felt I could actually taste those fish and chips..carry on and don't apologise for vlogs you don't think are watchable..they all are so carry on the good work..I really appreciate how difficult it can be trying to make interesting videos..but you succeed every time. Thanks James for the tour of Doncaster..I've never been there..I might never go there but at least I know what to expect..see you on next vlog..xx
Thomas Crapper was born in Doncaster. He held the patent for the floating ballcock. That's a great chat up line if ever you need one by the way.
It seems that he invented the toilet and the town fashioned itself on his invention as a tribute to him
I thought this was a load of crap till I googled it mind blown lol
Cheers mate 👍🏻
I'll use that on Friday night!
Born outside of Doncaster.... at Thorne.
You missed out so many interesting things about Doncaster. It was the birthplace of Pele, Genghis Khan, Adolf Hitler and the Harlem Globetrotters. The Empire State building is located in Doncaster. The Roswell Incident took place behind Doncaster bus station and it's the only place outside of Africa where giraffes can be found.
As always great blog James.
🤔
You made me LOL 😂
..... and the birth place of " bullshitter of the year " 5 years running ! :)
😂😂😂😂
We were there in early summer when all the costumes and dancers were parading and entertaining all the public. It was fabulous. James what are you trying to define? I think the UK is now in a total different reality as to what we are accustomed with. People have become insensitive, crass and fickle with any issue. Know this. Agenda 20-30 will effect everyone even those who consider themselves in "nice areas." I live in Teesside and the dereliction, decay, social decay seems universal. I know you want life to become bearable as it was 30 years ago but I think all of us are being coerced and forced into actualities and realities we inwardly hate. I was interested when you you mentioned the Chinese restaurant and having a great time yonks ago but that's it. Yonks ago. We all live in a very controlled realm where protocol and laws are steeped into every fabric of life on steroids. Around my way all you hear are emergency sirens and abject crime happening at any instance in time. But I think you crave freedom and wellbeing in this storm we are all in. God bless.
Here here Mark. Couldn’t agree more. Freedom would seems to have become a dirty word?
Oh God, you have summed it up so well. Isn't it depressing....
We'll never get the 70s, 80s back 😢
We'll said
Spot on mark. This isn't my world anymore.
Good old Britain … Only fish and chips can rescue a shite day in wall to wall rain ☔️ I like your tell it how it is style 🤣👍
Not your fault about the weather James, I have never been, but I am sure it would be a decent place to spend some time if it was sunny. To be honest, I wouldn't worry too much about the content, you are a joy to watch and always bring a smile to my face😀. Take care x
I can't believe how many people can only find value in sunny weather. What the hell is wrong with people?
Recently another UK UA-camr (who shall remain nameless here) showed us the delights of very upscale hotels in both Beverley Hills and Las Vegas, and another Mansfield based channel regulary flies to the States to show us around New York, New Orleans and other amazing cities.......Meanwhile.....James shows us the delights of a South Yorkshire city on a rainy midweek day including a quick tour of the ladies underware and haberdashery departments of Boyes department store, and as I'm sure most will agree, this is why we love this channel and we love James and Helen, because it's keeping it real. I've been to Vegas and New York and as great as they are they can't hold a candle to Donny in the rain!
😂😂 That's brilliant. I love the comment, I know both the channels you are talking about. I do like them though 😊
@@bythecurb Yes, ther're both great channels but I felt it would be disrespectful to name them on your channel.....You're doing great mate, I reckon you'll be up to 30k subs in no time and will hit 50k at some point next year, you certenly deserve to....Go steady our kid!
Thanks mate
I fully endorse your observations, my favourite blogger on UA-cam by a mile. James & Helen, your a WONDERFUL couple....💯😍
Excellent editing. The pub scene floored me. You Brits don't let the weather stop you. 😂
Getting more and more professional, without losing the humour, rawness and down-to-earthness - goooood lad!
Thank you
That was so lovely you took his face of the vlog he asked this is why youre so liked guys xxx
Love your pronunciation of Tickhill, you said tickle. My wife was born there on a small holding on Lord Scarborough’s estate. She calls it TickHill stressing the hill. Tickle had me laughing😂 “What’s up there? Sod all” 😂🤣
That's the posh way of saying it 😂
My old dad used to say to me "Don't run yourself down to others as there's always some bugger willing to do it for you." He was right. Still enjoyed this outing with you but keep the self-doubt under control. Time to get out your copy of Marcus Aurelius's book, perhaps? 🙂
Nice to see you still cracked on, even though the weather was totally against you!. Always nice to see where you are gonna be popping up. Keep up the good work and hope you feel better soon James 👍
Donny is Ace , good night out , lots of nice people in Doncaster , loved the place all my life tbh 👌👌👌
This channel just gets funnier and funnier!
Us Brits love a moaner James...😅
And YOU...are steeped in the tradition of a good old Yorkshire moan! 😂
Love the disasters...love the rain...love the moaning...love the self-loathing...😂
Never stop James.😊
You are doing a grand job lad. Just keeping it real. Thank you for your efforts. You do make me giggle.
Thank you so much :-)
James you're Doncaster vlog has done better than you thought I bet,I assumed you were busy because you've not got back to many comments not even a simple red heart of appreciation.
It's difficult, I try to reply to as many as I can but it can get a little overwhelming
@bythecurb thanks sure James look forward to your next vlog.
Brolly goes up.....instant ASMR walking video 😂.
Great vlog mate. Your 'Slice of life' videos are brilliant. Keep up the good work.
Just loved this video, so down to earth and could not stop laughing at bits as it just sums up how everyone feel in the rain and trying to find something to do to cheer up.
Love a look round the different places on a bit of a walking tour...looks very clean. Nice and cosy on the sofa watching the rain x
That was hilarious. Better half was giggling all the way through. Seems we’re gonna have a drive out to Donny for the fish and chips. On a feedback angle, your editing skills are coming on a treat.
Thank you 😊
Orrr, i was looking forward to seeing you throwing some combinations in the pub James! Great effort mate, and that food looked (and sounded 😂) bob on ❤
What’s that great Yorkshire saying, there’s no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing! Good to see you made it out and managed to seek refuge in a suitable watering hole!
Enjoyed that!! I’ve never been to Doncaster, feels like I have now! And Salma Hayek! Great stuff👍🏻
I love how your highlighting our national dish fish and chips also our once great towns and cities, keep up the good work 😊😊😊😊😊
Chicken Tikka massala is the nation's favourite dish!
Love these vlogs and your saving us a job of where not to go lol
Keep up the good work👍🍺
Canada here. The video was very entertaining. The street views are spectacular even in the rain. Keep up the good work. Nice that you are not all up, up all the time and we all get to relate to a real person.
Brilliant James, comedy gold. Took me back to when I used to visit Donny back in the day as they always had the better shops than Scunny and it was undercover. Quite a bit has changed. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Cheers, Chris.
Sure do miss fish and chips and the rain as not currently living in England. Great vlog. A nice tour of the town. Thanks.
Fish and chips saved the day. Thanks James.
I felt a bit under the weather a few weeks ago. Turned out to be bloody ‘Rona didn’t it. Still feel knackered now. Hope you (and Helen) are feeling better soon. Chris 👍🏼
This was actually good for me to watch as i am from doncaster and know where you was at all times
They did indeed make flying Scotsman in Hexthorpe, my mum used to work at the Paddington bear factory, stuffing and sewing them up.
John Parr, Kevin keegan, Sarah Stenvson (my mate), all from Doncaster amongst others.
John parr from Worksop that’s its own town 15 miles away from Doncaster classed as nottinghamshire from Donny myself Sarah did Doncaster and the country proud in 2008 winning the countries first Olympic medal in her sport what a great achievement
@@NNC93 oh no! I always thought he was from Armthorpe doh! I taught Sarah tkd in her early days. I was her first instructor (not for long though lol).
@@NNC93 at least we’ve still got Kevin Keegan and Louis Thomlinson
@@NNC93 just recalled another member of our club, Amanda Broadbent, medaled at the Olympics in TKD before Sarah, BUT it was a demonstration sport then.
@@micro_adVANtures Kevin keegan from armthorpe… and that’s great that you had some involvement nice to hear
you are the YORSHIRE carl pilkington great vlogs buddy
Thank you
Great Job James. Can’t help rain and good to have a brief look around Donny. The F &C review was spot on.
I liked that, seems like i am witnessing you record a time in history that will be watched in many years, thanks for uploading mate, subscribed ✌️
Your a real character with that wicked dry sence of humour so keep doing your thing.👍
Very interesting vlog...cheers! Well you made me laugh you just gotta get out of the van even if it's raining! That pub was a nice suprise in the rain 🙂
Best review on eating fish and chips I have seen yet. I could literally taste it. I would do anything to eat some British fish and chips right now. Keep it up James, you are so real!
Thank you, more fish and chips coming soon 😋
Absolutely hilarious. Hubby and I loved this vlog 🤣🤣
james be interesting to look in the local estate agents to see the prices in the local areas you visit
As a man and wife who travel the U.Ks Beaches i love your videos, I photograph beaches and storms and will come across your travels as our worlds collide, great work and one of my favourite vloggers to watch to date, well done you!
Thanks Ian, you should start a vlog
Love it when you blog and you look so excited lol.
Being a Doncasrian the two extremes of Doncaster are Hyde Park (used to live there as a kid) and Bawtry (money money).
Doncaster itself is a dump now (wasn’t always that way).
I’m surprised you didn’t get mugged walking about with that camera lol. People have been attacked for far less. You so much as make eye contact in the wrong pub and mayhem unfolds.
I have paused video for this comment but I often pitch up in my peugot expert on the road next to Lakeside, nervous nights.
Best place to stay is on Bawtry road behind what used to be Pa
Punches Hotel (now Toby Carvery). It’s known to vanlifers and UA-camrs. I stay there every other weekend with no problems ever as I visit family and do my part as carer for my mum (dementia).
Growing up I’m Hyde park was not easy, had to learn to defend myself and became a third Dan in taekwondo (before it became a bit wussy).
Reet I’ll play rest now…
Thank you, I need to go back when it's better weather, I'm in Sheffield today and it's chucking it down again!! 😕
@@bythecurb I’m in Filey, not far from your beloved Bridlington. Storm Barbet is really doing a number here. The waves are madness, the wind is downright dangerous. Some local roads flooded, tree down in Seamur (how on earth will I get to McDonald’s. Now?)
Just the last few months seen an increase in off grid camping (vans, cars, tents), up at the country carpark in Filey (signs say no camping but they’re ignored). So if you find yourselves down our way it’s a good spot for you.

Thanks for the nice video James. The fish & chips looked amazing! See you on the next one ☝️ 😊
Thankyou james ,enjoyed my trip round Doncaster even in the rain.❤
I grew up in Donny and I’m back living here and I watched and enjoyed every second of this! I live quite out of town now so it was nice to see you walk around places I’ve not been in a while 😊
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it
You could just sit in your van & talk & I'd still love your vlogs, such a down to earth fella, the first video i saw was your Benidorm ones, loved them & went on to watch all your others. Keep them coming, your a great youtuber x
Thank you 😊
Stumbled across your channel a couple of weeks ago, bloody love it and now have the other half hooked as well!
Thank you so much, thanks for the sub
17:20 the living definition of "its grim up north". When it rains, it rains without stopping.
it'd be grim if it didn't rain mate because you'd be dead in a matter of months once all the water reserves were used up.
@@Bleedforme-zq2uf well indeed.
Me and my other half want to go on the lash with you both, you are the most down to earth people we have watched ont youtube.... Keep up the good sarcastic funny work 😅
Hi.. so as soon as you said chippy .. auckley friary came in my head. Glad you went. I go there maybe once a month.. mostly I'll just get a portion of chips.. think they fry in a different oil.. agree its first class. Also I love the conisbrough one but not as much as auckley. Tickhill pond is lovely.. used to go with the kids. Anyway thanks for coming and experiencing all sides of Donny
Thanks mate
Well, Tasmania here again. We love just wandering around with you seeing the sights. You didn't explain that big monument thing with all the names though. We wanted to look in the florist shop as well. Our son has a large florist shop in Adelaide South Australia, called "Flowers Everywhere", so we always want to check florists out. His 2 daughters also work with him. What are you going to do in the winter? Great video. ❤🇦🇺
Excellent video, I don't think you realise how funny and entertaining you are. With you, we stay as we want to see what's next, so you have something that pulls people in, just look at your membership. That meal looks lovely. Looking forward to the next video 😊
Thank you
Great vlog James love watching you thanks 4 sharing
You could, at least, have read us some of the signs on the sculptures! Helen would've! 😉
I can't think of anyone I'd rather walk around a rainy Doncaster with 😀
Absolutely gripping content I can't stop laughing Helen would have loved the charity shop 😂😂😂😂😂
Good one James! ⛈☔😢.......😂Loved the pub scene. And, saved by a winning fish&chips. I've not seen the Flying Scotsman, will have to check that out. Thanks for tonight's entertainment.
Thank you. The fish and chips saves the day 😊
Great vlog James. You're so entertaining.
Great to see you in my old stomping ground. Easy to see how the demise of the pits, left the region in disarray.
While watching I was willing you to go to Askern Spa, a little north of Donny, along the Selby Road (A19).
Used to be a very popular go to place in Victorian times.
I think you did very well, despite the rotten weather.
Keep it up.
Sithie 👍🏽
Another great vlog, I've been to that chippy and it is awesome thanks for sharing 👍🏻
"Dreary drab wander with brolly". Loved it! The bus station was interesting. Loved seeing red phone box. Boys Store was great, haberdashery. You are very entertaining no matter what you do. Great show.
Ha ha. Great video. Particularly enjoyed your honesty.
Especially enjoyed you driving past my house in Tickhill! 😀
Best wishes from me here in Bangkok, Thailand.
It all looked really good to me!!
You can’t help the rain.
Ooooh,, fish and chips!!! Looks bloody lovely!! You should have bought a pork pie for later!! Xx
Can't help the weather but those chips certainly made up for it in the end.
I think you did very well despite the rain. Good days and bad day can't be helped.
Main thing is, keep em coming and looking forward to the next one James. 🍺🐟🍟👍
Brilliant as always James ❤thanks
Ohhhh, that brings back memories! Born and brought up in Donny! As a kid we'd go to Bawtry for a day out to visit the Sunday market........you could never park anywhere then either! lol! (1970s!)
James this vlog was brill keep them coming love, see thee x
It was a good vlog james always enjoy them ypu are so easy to listen to and your fish chips and peas looked morish 😊🥰 .
😅
Just been to Whitby -Boyes-yesss!! Don't have that where I am. Boyes, Yorkshire Trading,on to The Spoonie,up the steps, Brewery, down the steps, shops, pubs,Pie & Mash,Pubs, beach,chat to lovely people. Do it all again the next day-Bliss. Enjoyed the Vlog-I like the style of your Vlogs so much.
Weather crap...Vlog great! I left UK for Canada in 1990 and haven't been back in 20 years so this was fascinating .
Your perseverance in the rain was appreciated!
I bloody love watching your vlogs they always make me smile 😊 Thank you 😎
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the fnc review, on my next free day I'm going to try that place! The show was great: Keep up the good work! You could always try Annies in Outwood! The owner was convinced that (the B word) was going to be the best thing ever for this country, and is today struggling terribly. A very painful way to learn that the media aren't there to help us.
Another very entertaining video. Keep up the good work!
Watching your real life videos living in Sunny spain really makes me appreciate my new life . Get you and Helen in the van to Sunny Almería
Loved the vlog. Rain sounds made it very ASMR. Doncaster looked interesting. Worth a visit if only for the Boyes which brings back memories of Woolworth's minus the record section of course.
Sprotbrough is nice not too far from there,,, my cousin lives there in cottage near the canal nice pub at the end of the row❤
Bloomin 'eck lad.. my gaff... looking forward to this!..
Loved it I need to try the fish and chips shop they looked right nice x
absolutely spot on video you say it as you see it keep up the good work and ill watch you next time round
Well you went to Tickhill and Edlo and didn't drop into Maltby 😀 but having said that it's not Doni is it 😉 Nice to see some local places. I've not been into Doni town for years and it's changed so much from your video.
That timber joint in Bawtry had been there for years n years, shame to see it go.
I have heard the Misterton chippy is good as well so might be worth a trip out that way. Great video and that "our tune" made me think about when I worked in a factory 😂
We stayed in Doncaster on our way back to Cumbria. The Red Lion (weatherspoons) small room, red hot, no sleep! We went in The Queen Pub, it was ok, entertainment on. Thanks for that James. B
Charlie Williams was from Donny. Most of it's a dump but the surrounding areas are nice like Bessacar, Wadworth, Tickhil,l where Clarkson was born. There are some great pubs and restaurants in the town centre, oops sorry, city centre. Very run down in places, but lots of big industry and opportunities if you can be bothered to drive to. I worked there for 18 months, commuting from Sheffield, proper Yorkshire lads and lasses. Great vid James, thanks.
Do love a well presented family owned butchers shop, some pothole at 05:40 - could go fishing in that.
Thanks again fella
Oof, fancy missing off Nigel Gresley Square, Cast, The Savoy and the spectacular new museum. Also the Pub next door to The Queens is the best pub in Doncaster The Masons! Town centre is a right dump these days though. It was sort of ace in the nineties and early 2000's but it's been a slow decline since. Unlike Barnsley which I visited a few weeks ago. Wow, talk about a renaissance! I ought to do a Vlog when I can be arsed.
Another good video james,, a day in the rain with a fish supper, brilliant
Fantastic again. Rained all day today in Pickering had to take refuge in a good chippy capplemans even served wine n beer result then went on pub crawl. Mushy peas to die for lol in chippy nice village worth a visit from ste n dragon
I’m a Southener born and bred but married a Yorkshireman ( Grimethorpe to be exact) and we have 3 adult kids, all, including my husband are as daft as a sack of knackers, all born comedians just like your good self, I only found your Chanel the day before yesterday and am now binge watching, loved this vlog,your dry sense of humour is what makes it for me and the fish and chips were making me “ Slava “ lol keep up the good work, Granny Linda 👍🤣🤭💕
Thank you Linda and thanks for subscribing 😊
None of your blogs are rubbish, I enjoyed every minute yet again,
Your struggle with your 'lack of content' was hilarious content in itself James! It was interesting to see the dilemmas you face as You Tube bloggers, particularly in the UK, in the pissing rain! 😀 Keep up the good work. I equally love you solo videos too! ❤
It's a nightmare. I'm just sat in a cafe in Sheffield sheltering from the rain and wondering what to vlog about! 🤔
@@bythecurb How about a vlog around one of the nice places in the Peak District? Bakewell, Chatsworth or Castleton maybe? Sunday looks a nice day for it once the weather has cleared up 👍
Most Town centres are depressing in the rain especially large town's and cities that have not heart and sole no shops apart from Fast food and barbers.higlight definitely was the fish and chips. shame you didn't buy a pork pie they looked fantastic
You’re a cracking fella mate who is honest, down to earth and very British. You’re a pleasure to watch my man. Keep up the good work and have faith Broski! 🤘🤝🤜🤛
Thank you so much 😊
@@bythecurb … Being honest mate. As you are…
Also, forgive me for speaking out of term… but your vlogs are great when you’re on your own, great too with Helen, but, you do just fine fella 🤜🤛
The Gentleman Fishmonger in Doncaster Fish Market, has had a stall for around 30 years, is a social media star. Fun fact Ian Bothan and his wife travel to Doncaster to buy their fish from him. Martyn and Sarah also run the DN1 Deli Dinner. Delicatessen & Dining Room by The Gentleman Fishmonger and it's their first anniversary this week. They are also aiming to be receive the first Michelin Star in Doncaster.
That was fun to listen to. Well done!
Great videos. You 2 bounce off each other. Keep the good work coming
Well done James on persevering in the rain..
Top video as always Pal!! Love the Chanel… Fish and chips looked good mate 👍…. Smithy
Had me in stitches! King marvellous.
great Vlog, James, always good content, mate, you cant help the weather, still your number 1 fan buddy ... keep smiling you stoic :)Alec
Thanks Alec
James did you know Doncaster is Scottish ? It was given to Scotland in the treaty of Durham and never given back Thats why it was raining lol another good one mate , you sure you get about ........................
