    A little bit more on the Grand Hotel. It's actually of Victorian age - it's designed in the shape of a V to honour Queen Victoria. It was also designed originally with 365 rooms for the days of the year, 12 floors for the months, 4 towers for the seasons, and 52 chimney's for the weeks. Sad to see what's become of it these days, but still it's an impressive building.

    From Scarborough a £2 bus ride gets you to Filey (30 mins) or Bridlington (1 hour). You can also take the train. From Brid you can get the bus (25 mins) to Thornwick Bay which is a short walk to Flamborough Head. Also from Scarborough a 1 hour bus journey will get you to Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay, and a bus from Whitby gets you to Runswick Bay, Staithes and Saltburn.

    The Funicular railway at Scarborough Spa was the first in the country in the 1870's. Scarborough was the first seaside resort in England, beginning in 1620.
    The Castle was an important Royal fortress. Scarborough Fair was the longest granted in the Medieval era, at 44 days during the summer, trading goods from all over Europe, it originated a famous song 'Scarborough Fair', recorded by Simon & Garfunkel in the 1960's. The Grand Hotel was built in the 1860's. Why not research the PLACE not just the food stops. You've never heard of Nelson, think Trafalgar Square & Nelson's column. Proper ice cream is made with milk & cream, not watery like Gelato. The clues in the name ice CREAM. Scarborough has a proper harbour, not a marina. Those Police Telephone boxes used to be everywhere. Doctor Who uses one. There are many older people because the children are at school. The 'old peoples shopping centre' was built in the 1980's so is not ancient.

      ​@pamelajna being a Yorkshire dog owner who regularly visits Scarborough and other Yorkshire coast resorts (with my 4 legged friend who loves a run on the beach and a swim in the sea). The main parts of the beach by the promenade are dog exclusion zones for the summer period, but heading south after the olhmpia bay amusements is all dog friendly, and then there are another 3 small beaches just after too, and all allow dogs all year round. North bay beach is fully dog friendly. 2 further nearby resorts of Filey and Bridlington have miles of beach and again only restricted for a small section in summer months when lots of families use the central bit. Scarborough is very dog friendly (bowls of water outside shops, most cafes allow well behaved dogs and even treat them to some sausage or a bit of fish - always ask first if not clearly signed). I have only ever been refused in Scarborough once, and they set a table up outside for me instead. 🙂
      Yorkshire is generally a very dog friendly place, and nearby York is the most dog friendly city I've ever visited.

    Looks like what you got might have been actual cod, so you got lucky (or just chose a good chip shop). Much of what is sold as cod in UK chip shops these days is actually pollock, since it is so much more abundant and thus cheaper to buy. Pollock is a relatively tasteless and textureless fish - hence why I think you got the haddock recommendation.

    • @JayandKarolina
      @JayandKarolina  Місяць тому

      @@JayandKarolina You'd think that falsely selling north atlantic pollock as cod would be illegal, and theoretically, the Food Standards Agency can impose unlimited fines for the false-mareketiing of white fish, but the process of testing is so difficult (involving DNA testing of the fish being sold) and the budget to do so has been so restricted for a more than a decade, that the rules often simply aren't enforced. The irony is that, if you can tolerate its mashed potato-like taste, flavour and texture, Canadian Pollock has a good case to put forward as a sustainable fishery, simply based on fish numbers compared to haddock and cod, the problem is that this insipid fish (and others) is being sold as regular acknowledged staples of the British diet - not only in fish and chip shops but supermarkets throughout the UK.
