    QUESTION: Are you attracted to click negative headlines and titles? 🤔

    • @ajayjackson7727
      @ajayjackson7727 10 днів тому +2

      I sometimes click on negative headlines/titles out of interest but tbh i'm always wary of stuff like that, so many businesses can be badly impacted by negative headlines cos unfortunately a lot of people can be taken in by them.

    When I went to Tenerife last September the Spanish locals were very respectful. It's a beautiful place with beautiful weather.
    Regarding the UK media is DOWNRIGHT DISGUSTING.
    Andrew, you speak honestly and you're the real deal. Keep up the content dude. 😎👍💯

    Love those people behind litter picking! Been coming to Tenerife since I was a baby every year for 32 years and I do agree that people need to be mindful that it’s someone’s home and has a beautiful culture not to ruin that, sure it’s not everyone. Small town news headline to scare people into not going anywhere. Thanks for sharing the link might offer some time next year love to see some content like this!

    Andrew, problem is the UK is in a shambles at the minute and desperately needs us to spend cash in our own country to help the economy. Here is Scotland its pot holes everywhere and my city now is introducing the tourist tax… I get that as the more tourists the more you need to spend on things like cleaning and all public sector services. Tenerife to us is fantastic twice a year for many years and we ain’t going to stop ☀️

    British media represent their culture overall. Inherently pessimistic and dramatic and the media feeds off of that sentiment. It’s typical British media. Many Brit’s complain the same way. Maybe because it’s always cloudy and rainy and because of that it creates a certain personality. And why Tenerife is a hotspot so people can escape that negative energy.

      @@Moreno_Cubanito I disagree mate ,,the media in Britain and many other countries blatantly lie and in no way represent the majority of sentiments of normal working class people , the type of people who love getting away to places like Tenerife ,as a welcome break from everyday life and work for a week or two per year . This is reflected in diminishing newspaper and t.v. licences being bought , we no longer trust them to deliver balanced or truthful reporting on anything and surely this video demonstrates this , as the majority of comments go something like ; we’ve just come back from or we’re going anyway …..

So why not tell British to not go tothe Canaries. I remember when the island was crying out for tourists to come back.. so let's stop going for 2 years.

    I have zero problems with or about safety on the island. Sure we need to take the standard precautions with pickpockets etc. And just keep an eye out for the over young drinkers and that's really it. The main areas are normally free of cockroaches. You mite see the odd one from time to time. I used to live up in Brisas del Mar near the mountains (Costa Adeje). There we had to keep the flat very clean. Not really a tourist area. And the local bin area was full of roaches.
