You obviously don't have any football history knowledge. Even if United had won, it wouldn't have saved them from relegation as Birmingham beat Norwich to ensure their survival.
When people appreciare a visit to Mcr it makes my heart swell. There was so much more that you could have seen and done you could have easily spent a week. Like any big city it has it's problems, but I genuinely believe it is one of the greatest cities in the world and yes we are some of the most helpful and friendly people in England. Another advantage is it's not that London place.
Couldn't agree more! WE HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME IN MCR ❤️ And that's exactly what we thought: it's not as big as London but has so many great things to do, see, taste and experience! We'll definitely be back soon for more!
@@JayandKarolina Hopefully when you come back they will have done up the Town Hall. That is a beautiful building. I travel to quite a few other Northern cities e.g., Leeds and Sheffield, and Manchester is easily the most interesting city. Would recommend you visit the University of Manchester. You can walk it down Oxford St from Albert Sq, St Peters Sq, and visit the Manchester Museum at the same time. It's nice being around students because they are excited for good reason. I think that's what makes Manchester such a great city. It has one of the highest student populations in England but largely they hang out on Oxford Rd where there are 2 universities.
@@HH__09 London sucks. It has great things to do but the people are beyond rude in most parts of London. It's also too big a city to appreciate the way you can appreciate Manchester.
@@HH__09 Manchester has a concentration of skyscrapers that London does not have, and London is a sprawling metropolis that I do not like. I can walk across Manchester in 30 minutes, and I like that. Manchester's architecture is inspiring both old and new. Much of London is depressing. If you like it, that's fine. I don't.
Enjoyed your tour of Manchester very much. I live about 6 miles from the centre of Manchester and have not been to the city centre for about 20 years, so your tour and your enthusiasm were wonderful. So many changes too.
Glad you enjoyed it! We had a feeling that Manchester has changed a lot in recent years and is becoming more and more trendy for younger generations - while it was good to see the historic sites intermingled with the new ones :)
1:28:22 What's more crazy to think is that John Rylands Library was designed by his Wife and was built and gifted to him as a present from her. When i first walked into the Historic Reading Room your jaw just hits the floor. It has a definitive Church/Cathedral feel to it, but it messes with your brain and leaves you dumbfounded that "this is actually a Library!!!". Beautiful place! I'm so glad you guys loved Manchester. Like any City, it has its problems. Piccadilly Gardens is definitely one of them! But it also has its gems and because of the culture, it sure has a charm that leaves an impression. Im an adopted Manc of 17 years, but I'm also a proud one!!! Thank you for buying that homeless guy a coffee, I've just bought you one back ❤️🐝❤️
Cities in England change a lot from year to year, so when we come back in a few months/years it will probably be hard to find our way around 😜 Which is a cool but slightly terrifying vision! The world has definitely sped up, but solutions such as Beer Hotel or Dog-Friendly places are really interesting and convenient! 🍻🐶
As a Mancunian your experience makes me so proud. I have to confess ive not managed to go to this and that yet but it's on my to do list. I love walking around looking at the old and new buildings. We have a few very interesting libraries that are worth checking out if you come again. Also i try to avoid Piccadilly gardens if i can. It's horrible.
@@alwolfy1782 This makes us feel so good about the video we’ve made ❤️ We really enjoyed exploring Manchester so hopefully it wasn’t our last time in the city!
🐝Guys. Thank you for visiting my city (Manchester) and highlighting the friendliness of the people. There is so so so much more to see. Enjoy your time in China and come back and see us again soon. PS this is the first time I have seen your videos but now a subscriber 🐝
Our pleasure! We truly enjoyed our time in Manchester so it's definitely not the last visit! We'll be flying off to Asia from the Manchester Airport so we even had planned to come the day before and explore more of the city 😍 Hope you'll stay a bit longer with us Steve!
Yes we decided to do a UK series this summer ❤️ Glad you’ve been enjoying the videos Sean! We totally agree - we’ve visited couple of different towns/cities mainly in England and found so many charming places!
@@JayandKarolina i have watched every single video, even when you in our part of the world the northeast, we have booked to blackpool next month, its not great as it used to be, B and B are cheap, we were there last month, we didnt plan to well, the manchester place, omg god, and the price, i looked it up for 3 nights, is really great value, we are going to go, but cheapest parking we can fins so far is 18 pounds, bit expensive, as thats for 24 hours. we got blackpool, for 3 nights again for 108 and free parking, no breakfast tho room only, on suit, but a budget hotel
It was known as Cottonopolis. Australians still refer to linen as Manchester, because everything cotton came from there. The mill workers of Manchester went on strike as a protest against the slavery in cotton plantations of America, even though they were very poor themselves.
Glad you enjoyed it Pamcia! Now you perfectly understand what made Manchester one of our favourite cities in the UK! Absolutely loved the cathedral and the tour made by Steve because we got to know so many insights about the past 😍💒
Welcome aboard! Thank you so much 😍 We constantly try to make our videos better and put a lot of effort into planning to hope you’ll like the other videos too!
You should! We like big cities overall but London and Manchester are quite different - Mcr as a city is quite vibrant and artsy whereas Ldn is way bigger, more official and has so many different districts as you know :)
I live close to London but if I’m going to a gig I always choose Manchester. So easy to walk around, cheaper and great places to eat and drink. Shame you didn’t check out canal street. So many great bars
Totally agree! Manchester is such a great city to just spend time around :) And the most amazing thing is that it’s very diverse as well! Oh, is there any particular place you’d recommend to grab a drink! We’ll be back to Manchester before flying off to China in September 👀✨
My home City ❤🐝❤🐝 Manchester has everything, and some! Diverse, cultural, musical, also wet lol Manchester, back in the day, was called Cottonopolis. The area was chosen because of the inclement weather system as it was perfect for storing Cotton. I moved here from Northumberland over 17 years ago and it's a toss of a coin where rains the most lol
Couldn't agree more! Thanks why we loved the city 😍🎨🎵 That's insane that the humidity was involved in some of the cotton production/storage! Thanks for sharing!
Yes loving these videos. I’m coming to England in January. However I will only be in London. But it’s lovely to see all the stuff we can come back and see!! Great videos guys. Excited to see the China videos as well!!
Sounds great! Manchester will be way different during the winter time but we believe it will be very charming indeed 😍 Thank you so much for watching! Little hint: we're counting the days now for our China trip since our flights are booked in 3 weeks time!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! It was also the biggest highlight of our visit to Manchester! It’s so stunning!!!!! 😍✨ And knowing its past history it makes it even more charming.
Glad you enjoyed it Simon! Manchester definitely has just become one of our UK cities! And best of all, you can always come back and do more things because Manchester has a lot to offer 😍 We're also taking a flight off to China in September from Manchester Airport so have already planned to come the day before!
Been watching some of your vids for a while - but now subscribed. You're a very pleasant couple and easy to watch. Lived in Manchester for many years but now live in the Newcastle area, loved your videos from the North East. Manchester has changed an incredible amount over the last 20 odd years - I do get down there a couple of times a year. However, my heart now belongs to the North East - Manchester is too busy and expensive to live there now. (And yes, stay away from Piccadilly Gardens - horrendous place, has been for years). That Brewdog hotel looks amazing. I'd definitely consider it next time I'm there as a treat, I can imagine it's expensive! EDIT - "This 'n That" is a legendary place amongst locals - incredible value for what you get as long as you like Indian food. I'm bloody hungry now!
It's so nice to hear that - because it's one thing to shoot vlogs and another to know that people really like them 😍 We feel most comfortable in the north of the UK, but don't yet know where specifically! Even if we don't drink beer much the Brewdog Doghouse Manchester was great - very ambient, with delicious food and in a great location! Speaking of Indian food - Jay's mum cooks brilliantly, so we can easily taste the authentic flavours, but the food at ‘This and That’ was simply PHENOMENAL 💛
We're glad you enjoyed it Karen! We're always trying to find ways to do things our own way, to not only show more things off the beaten track, but also the people we meet, who always have something super interesting to say :) Thanks for watching ❤️
😂 is that charlie veitch he's popular in piccadily gardens.I was in Manchester in 2008 it was great but our citys that's all of them have changed dramatically not for the better.
Went to Chethams school opposite Manchester Cathedral 52 years ago. Last lived in Manchester 40 years ago. Old enough to know Dennis Law but WOW the place has changed. Picadilly Gardens used to be beautiful.
@@ruthmckee4905 Thank you so much for sharing your thought so Ruth! Mcr has been developing very fast over the last couple of years so it’s interesting to hear that :)
I’m from Manchester, I’d somehow never heard of this n that! After watching your experience I’m 100% going there next time I’m in town, and if it’s as good as it looks I’ll be sending everyone I know there as well
Loved the video J and K, i like the way you involve the people who live and work there. You ask questions and most people take delight in answering and that is so nice. These videos of yours just let everyone know that most of us living on this planet are a friendly lot no matter how hard some try to make it not so. But that said doesn't mean you are "off the hook". First it was the steam trains in York. Now the not knowing what "that thing" was ( record player). I can''t wait o see what you don't know about China.
Thanks James ❤️ We try to take into account different opinions of people or interesting facts that local people share with us because it always reflects the city and the reality of the residents :) It's hard to know everything, but curiosity will always lead us to discovering interesting things! In China everything will be new also we probably won't be familiar with most things haha
Glad you enjoyed it! We put a lot of energy into planning and filming so comments like this are so rewarding! And also we want to showcase not only the essence of the city but also what it TRULY is so hope we managed to do that when in Manchester 😍
You should have gone to Manchester City. The Etihad Campus is much more impressive than Old Trafford because there are so many more facilities there. I study in the Reading room of the Rylands library. The nicest place in Manchester is the quadrangle at the University of Manchester on Oxford Rd. Magical and hidden away.
As ever you to were great guides to what is my nearest city. Naturally you have seen but a fraction of Manchester. And yet, in my near 80 years you have introduced me to a couple of places I've walked past innumerable times, but never had a peek inside: the wonderful John Rylands Library and the M/cr's Cathedral, wherein my mother and father were married prewar in 1938. Pity the weather was so dank, but that's pretty much M/cr's trademark. Many thanks for the tour.
Your comment is so touching! We're so glad we brought all these memories back and showed you a glimpse of Manchester from our perspective :) Thank you so much for watching! Take care!
New sub... just spotted your Mancs video, really nice job of exploring this post industrial, eclectic city. You guys rock😊👍🕺Looking forward to your China trip. All the best😊
Awesome! Thank you! We love to hear from you these things because it makes us happy doing the job you appreciate :) We're counting the days now since our flight is booked in 3 weeks time! 😍🇨🇳
Born and bred here, never wanted to move away. Its changed a lot and Piccadilly could be improved.. THe people are great. Not sure why its a tourist destination but enjoy.
Oh yeah, we truly did! That time around we only had like 2-3 days to explore but we would definitely need to be back after our Asia adventures! We found the John Rylands library and the Manchester Cathedral so captivating though :)
Excellent video guys! 😀 I really enjoyed it as I used to spend many days of my misspent youth buzzing around Manchester City centre exploring and it brought it all back to me again. Happy days! I only live 20 miles away now in High Peak Derbyshire, but not been there for many years. After watching this I really want to go back again. Another place which is great to see there is the Manchester University Museum with all the ancient Egyptian relics. They have revamped it all just very recently, so I bet it's a really cool place to visit now no doubt? Also If you go into that round Central Library building, they have got an elevator that goes horizontally, it's mad! Good ole Madchester, 🐝Nice one and looking forward to your next video. 😁
It's very kind of you! Thank you so much for all the insights and watching the video 😍 It definitely wasn't our last time in Manchester so we have some great reasons to be back!
Holy Jesus! I was very interested by your great video, so much so that I looked on the Brewdog hotel website for prices. For ONE night for 2 people was £330!! Seriously? Last month I had a week in Hurgada all inclusive for £700 per person (there were two of us).That included the flight! And it didn’t rain, and it was hot, and we were 100M from the Red Sea.
It’s a shame it rained in Manchester while you were here. It doesn’t rain as much as you’re told. I live here and I didn’t know about the Brewdog hotel.
That’s not the original aflecks palace,the original burnt down I think it was across the road.i use to buy all my hip hop and white label vinyl in the 80es
Only been to Manchester once, last year, but it's evidently a city that offers a lot and is thriving in a lot of areas (look at all those skyscrapers!). After watching this, I have more to explore on my next visit. The guy in the cathedral is a credit them - full of interesting info.
Thank you so much! We couldn't agree more - this city is a bit of a contrast, because you can see the preserved history, beautiful architecture, artistic districts, great food options but also in the same time modern solutions! So like we had said Manchester became for us one of our favourite cities in the UK ❤️🎉
Best cities in UK 1. Southampton / Sandbanks / Isle of Wight, 2. Oxford 3. Bath 4. York 5. Cambridge 6. Chester Manchester mostly a dump like Liverpool and now London
I live near manchester didn't know this restaurant from what I can see it's not just the food the father and son are the nicest people and father a Wanderers supporter what more could you want nice vibe all the customer's happy 😊,
What a brilliant video. Apart from the fact that MCR is blue! Should have gone to The Etihad. MCR was voted the 8th best city in the world for nightlife in the recent Time Out magazine poll. Glad you loved my city. 🐝
Well said! Manchester is definitely at the top of our list of cities in the UK, so we'll be back there soon - in fact, we're flying to China from MAN airport in the second week of September this year, so we've already planned on coming to Manchester for a day trip before we leave to spend some more time there 😍
Manchester is a superb city and I’m a Yorkshireman. I often walk from Worsley into the city along the Bridgewater Canal which is the last stretch you walked into Castlefields. I dislike Brewdog due to the CEO refusing his staff in London a £1 pay rise but fuck me that hotel looks good. Hate to say it.
Aww, that's so sweet! But I literally drink the tea right after pouring it, so even if something spilled, it probably wouldn't bother me haha - it's weird, I know, but that's just how I am 😂😂 [Karolina]
You guys are not serious. You went to Castlefield to look at the Viaduct garden, but not the Roman Forts? You didn't go to any of the galleries or museums. You didn't go Trafford centre, or The Triangle. You didn't go to any theatres. Looks like you went early in the morning and everywhere was closed, or even Sunday morning. I have never in my life seen the City centre that empty, and i live there lol.
36:01 😂😂😂 My Wife and I literally were in that Cathedral in December as we visited the Chtismas Markets and because they were soread all across the City, we ended up near there and so dropped in to look. I didnt have any clue that those carvings were there under the seats, let alone how a guide would describe one as "piss in a bottle!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 he isnt holding back is he! 😂😂😂😂😂 THIS is what I love about my Home City, the humour!!
1:02:15 You are entering Castlefield Basin which is where the Bridgewater Canal (from Worsley Delph) meets the Rochdale Canal at Dukes Lock. Here is the heavy history of the Industrial Revolution where all the coal from the Delph was shipped to the Basin and offloaded to power the steam factories. It is a fascinating place and the melting pot of old architecture meets new is ever present throughout the City. Bringing together the building that looked derelict at the beginning of this video, Afflecks Palace, and Castlefield Basin is a video you can search for of Zane Lowe interviewing 1975 singer Matty Healy where he explains the derelict building and the poster on the stairs in Afflecks Palace and also they take in the Castlefield Basin as part of a walking interview. A fascinating watch! The 1975 are essentially recognised as a Manchester band. Guy this video has been epic so far!!!!!
Thank you for these historical insights Chris! We will definitely have to return to Manchester for more as it really is an industrial gem of England ❤️ Glad you liked the video because we had so much fun filming it!
So cool! We're pretty sure your daughter will love it! And you Samantha will have interesting things to do each time you visit her! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Thanks for watching! It's so true, haha, it was the only part of the city that was just very dodgy and actually stood out (in a negative sense 😂😂) from any other areas of Manchester we visited!
Great Video so much detail . Manchester does have a bad reputation from other channels but the Cathedral looked nice and the man that showed you around Steve was very nice, The Curry place was nice not having to pay anything can you put a link to him in your comments. I am surprized you knew what a record player was. Please visit Tenby in Wales . Les adverts in the feed please was a little to much on this video did spoil the enjoyment a little.
Many thanks! This city really made a big impression on us because everyone will find something for themselves - and the nice people and beautiful, industrial buildings only encourage you to visit Manchester even more! So far, we've only visited Llandudno which absolutely has stolen our hearts so I'm sure we'll do more of Wales exploring soon! 😍
Being guided by Steve was truly an incredible enrichment to our experience and general view of cathedrals in the UK! And all of Manchester had some amazingly preserved historical gems - The Rylands Library, The Viaduct etc.❤️ As you know, we slept pretty much in the city centre and had no safety issues. But there are always more suspicious people in big cities so I would just recommend being aware of it at any time...
@@JayandKarolina yea and other cities in England are so messy right now. Maybe one day will visor Manchester and also surprised to see there is a Selfridges there :)
35:00 Imagine just you and the boys building chairs for the church in the 1400s and your making just some people gambling and your colleagues chuckling to himself "Its a monkey serving pee in a bottle"
Well you definitely visited the wrong football ground entirely there, but aside from that its a pretty good video .... i go in 'This and That' reguarly when i'm on a city centre pub crawl on a Saturday with the lads.
Thank you for mentioning the pot smoke in your video! I am highly allergic to marijuana; so I will make sure I have plenty of benadryl when I visit Manchester! 🙂
Dennis Law was a Scottish footballer who played most of his career at Manchester United. He was transferred to Manchester City where he scored the goal that relegated United. He didn't celebrate. Narrow boats have a 7 foot width (beam) whereas other canal boats are widebeams (up to 14 foot wide) or general cruisers. All are canal boats.
Although United has a larger fan base, the majority of the fans are from outside of Manchester, the city of Manchester is majority City fans when comparing the two, and United have never had a shop in the city centre, but City have had a shop in the city centre for probably about 10 years maybe more, I can't remember when the first City store opened on market street, as it used to be on the outside of the arndale.

@@HH__09 Ni it doesn't. It's a huge, sprawling conurbation. Manchester is a little jewel with the best of old and new architecture.

There is a great vibe in Manchester and I didn't know till seeing this that it was the world's first industrial city.
It was known as Cottonopolis.
Australians still refer to linen as Manchester, because everything cotton came from there.
The mill workers of Manchester went on strike as a protest against the slavery in cotton plantations of America, even though they were very poor themselves.
Glad you enjoyed our city Manchester 🐝🐝
Nice one my friend, Manchester has lots of history, especially the industrial history
Yes it does! The architecture as well as atmosphere are way different from any other UK cities and that’s why we simply loved MCR ❤️😌
I come to Manchester every Friday and it never ceases to amaze me 🐝🐝🐝
Manchester looks really nice, but very different and full of graphics!🐝😮🎨 I just loved the Cathedral you showed and the Riverside💙
Glad you enjoyed it Pamcia! Now you perfectly understand what made Manchester one of our favourite cities in the UK! Absolutely loved the cathedral and the tour made by Steve because we got to know so many insights about the past 😍💒
That was Crutchy whose eyes you could watching you in Picadilly Gardens.
Just discovered your channel guys, watched the Manchester vlog and loved it, looking forward to the rest.
Welcome aboard! Thank you so much 😍 We constantly try to make our videos better and put a lot of effort into planning to hope you’ll like the other videos too!
Denis Law - he was only the captain of Man Utd when they won the European Cup in 1968. It is not generational, it is history!
Great stuff! Interesting and informative. Must visit Manchester more - it's nearer than London and much more chill.
You should! We like big cities overall but London and Manchester are quite different - Mcr as a city is quite vibrant and artsy whereas Ldn is way bigger, more official and has so many different districts as you know :)

Manchester has everything, and some! Diverse, cultural, musical, also wet lol
Manchester, back in the day, was called Cottonopolis. The area was chosen because of the inclement weather system as it was perfect for storing Cotton. I moved here from Northumberland over 17 years ago and it's a toss of a coin where rains the most lol
Yeah, the humidity was key in reducing the snapping of the cotton threads whilst they were being spun.
Couldn't agree more! Thanks why we loved the city 😍🎨🎵

Been watching some of your vids for a while - but now subscribed. You're a very pleasant couple and easy to watch. Lived in Manchester for many years but now live in the Newcastle area, loved your videos from the North East. Manchester has changed an incredible amount over the last 20 odd years - I do get down there a couple of times a year. However, my heart now belongs to the North East - Manchester is too busy and expensive to live there now. (And yes, stay away from Piccadilly Gardens - horrendous place, has been for years).
That Brewdog hotel looks amazing. I'd definitely consider it next time I'm there as a treat, I can imagine it's expensive!
EDIT - "This 'n That" is a legendary place amongst locals - incredible value for what you get as long as you like Indian food. I'm bloody hungry now!
It's so nice to hear that - because it's one thing to shoot vlogs and another to know that people really like them 😍 We feel most comfortable in the north of the UK, but don't yet know where specifically!
Even if we don't drink beer much the Brewdog Doghouse Manchester was great - very ambient, with delicious food and in a great location!
Speaking of Indian food - Jay's mum cooks brilliantly, so we can easily taste the authentic flavours, but the food at ‘This and That’ was simply PHENOMENAL 💛
Very refreshing view of Manchester with both of you. So much better than the usual agitators walking around the city for youtube hits. Best wishes x
We're glad you enjoyed it Karen! We're always trying to find ways to do things our own way, to not only show more things off the beaten track, but also the people we meet, who always have something super interesting to say :) Thanks for watching ❤️
😂 is that charlie veitch he's popular in piccadily gardens.I was in Manchester in 2008 it was great but our citys that's all of them have changed dramatically not for the better.
Manchester is a exciting town to visit, Thanks for taking us along❤
Our pleasure 😊 Honestly, Manchester became one of our favourite UK cities! So we’re glad you enjoyed watching the video Eileen!
Manchester is a town?
Manchester is a City not a Town
Its fabulous that you were in Manchester. 😮. Great vlog. Well done to both of you. ⭐🙏🏻
Thank you so much (Mal?) :) We really enjoyed Manchester so hope the energy is transferred to the video!
@@JayandKarolina thanks Jay. It's Malcolm. I live in Manchester. Also love your Chester vlog.
Great informative vlog ❤keep making more
Thanks for visiting my city, I am very glad that you liked it and had a good time.
Went to Chethams school opposite Manchester Cathedral 52 years ago. Last lived in Manchester 40 years ago. Old enough to know Dennis Law but WOW the place has changed. Picadilly Gardens used to be beautiful.
@@ruthmckee4905 Thank you so much for sharing your thought so Ruth! Mcr has been developing very fast over the last couple of years so it’s interesting to hear that :)
I’m from Manchester, I’d somehow never heard of this n that! After watching your experience I’m 100% going there next time I’m in town, and if it’s as good as it looks I’ll be sending everyone I know there as well
It really makes us happy that we can spread the word about places like this because they really deserve it! You won't be disappointed 😋😍
Lovely to see you guys
We're so glad you've been enjoying watching our videos! :) Thanks!
I was at This and That yesterday. And the curry is so delicious!!
Loved the video J and K, i like the way you involve the people who live and work there. You ask questions and most people take delight in answering and that is so nice. These videos of yours just let everyone know that most of us living on this planet are a friendly lot no matter how hard some try to make it not so.
But that said doesn't mean you are "off the hook". First it was the steam trains in York. Now the not knowing what "that thing" was ( record player). I can''t wait o see what you don't know about China.
Thanks James ❤️ We try to take into account different opinions of people or interesting facts that local people share with us because it always reflects the city and the reality of the residents :)
It's hard to know everything, but curiosity will always lead us to discovering interesting things! In China everything will be new also we probably won't be familiar with most things haha
The Koffee Pot in the Northern Quarter do the best breakfasts in town
Nice video of Manchester I love it I’m a local Manc
❤❤
It’s a very cool city indeed 😍 Glad you enjoyed watching the video!
Fantastic review of your time in manchester, really well produced 👍 great content guys.
Glad you enjoyed it! We put a lot of energy into planning and filming so comments like this are so rewarding! And also we want to showcase not only the essence of the city but also what it TRULY is so hope we managed to do that when in Manchester 😍
Yey! Another Day, Another Vlog 🤍🤍🤍
Glad you enjoyed it Edward :) More to come! 🎉
Thank you for your introduction of this city ❤nice ~~hope you enjoyed your stay in Manchester ✌️I love Boddingtons beer the most 😂
We absolutely loved it and Mcr became one of our favourite UK cities 😍 Also the Brewdog experience was incredible 🔥 Thank you so much for watching!
narrow boats a flat top is a barge i worked on that canal from Old Trafford to Castlefield renovating the walkways and bridges
You should have gone to Manchester City. The Etihad Campus is much more impressive than Old Trafford because there are so many more facilities there. I study in the Reading room of the Rylands library. The nicest place in Manchester is the quadrangle at the University of Manchester on Oxford Rd. Magical and hidden away.
Glad you enjoyed!! It really is the best city!
As ever you to were great guides to what is my nearest city. Naturally you have seen but a fraction of Manchester. And yet, in my near 80 years you have introduced me to a couple of places I've walked past innumerable times, but never had a peek inside: the wonderful John Rylands Library and the M/cr's Cathedral, wherein my mother and father were married prewar in 1938. Pity the weather was so dank, but that's pretty much M/cr's trademark. Many thanks for the tour.
Your comment is so touching! We're so glad we brought all these memories back and showed you a glimpse of Manchester from our perspective :) Thank you so much for watching! Take care!
New sub... just spotted your Mancs video, really nice job of exploring this post industrial, eclectic city. You guys rock😊👍🕺Looking forward to your China trip. All the best😊
Awesome! Thank you! We love to hear from you these things because it makes us happy doing the job you appreciate :) We're counting the days now since our flight is booked in 3 weeks time! 😍🇨🇳
Born and bred here, never wanted to move away. Its changed a lot and Piccadilly could be improved.. THe people are great. Not sure why its a tourist destination but enjoy.
I'm so glad you enjoyed Manchester.Theres a lot of history here, if you care to look it up :)
Oh yeah, we truly did! That time around we only had like 2-3 days to explore but we would definitely need to be back after our Asia adventures! We found the John Rylands library and the Manchester Cathedral so captivating though :)
i've a close family member at university manchester now i know where to go when i take my first visit there 🙂 love the hippy part
My sister used to study in Manchester and she absolutely loved it! You should visit the Northern quarter and Castlefield area for sure then 🤩🎨
The cabbage in This n That is my favourite thing ever🎉
Yes, the cabbage was delicious - but being completely honest, we loved everything 😍😋
Excellent video guys! 😀 I really enjoyed it as I used to spend many days of my misspent youth buzzing around Manchester City centre exploring and it brought it all back to me again. Happy days! I only live 20 miles away now in High Peak Derbyshire, but not been there for many years. After watching this I really want to go back again. Another place which is great to see there is the Manchester University Museum with all the ancient Egyptian relics. They have revamped it all just very recently, so I bet it's a really cool place to visit now no doubt? Also If you go into that round Central Library building, they have got an elevator that goes horizontally, it's mad! Good ole Madchester, 🐝Nice one and looking forward to your next video. 😁
It's very kind of you! Thank you so much for all the insights and watching the video 😍 It definitely wasn't our last time in Manchester so we have some great reasons to be back!
Holy Jesus! I was very interested by your great video, so much so that I looked on the Brewdog hotel website for prices. For ONE night for 2 people was £330!! Seriously? Last month I had a week in Hurgada all inclusive for £700 per person (there were two of us).That included the flight! And it didn’t rain, and it was hot, and we were 100M from the Red Sea.
Great City, great vlog. Subscribed
Awesome, thank you! Hope you'll stay with us a bit longer :) We have plenty of content coming your way 🥳
Long eaton is in Derbyshire , it doesn’t matter about the postcode.
Brewdog is a Scottish based brewery not English. It has pubs across all Uk not just England.
It’s a shame it rained in Manchester while you were here. It doesn’t rain as much as you’re told. I live here and I didn’t know about the Brewdog hotel.
So far this summer has not been the best but we believe Manchester is even nicer when the weather is better 😌 A good reason to be back soon!
Our experience at the Brewdog Doghouse Manchester was just incredible!
as a mancunian I love this video, feel free to reach out if you come again will be happy to show you other hidden gems of my amazing city.....
Sounds great! And we're so happy we lived up to your expectations too! Loved Manchester so we'll definitely be back soon 😍
That’s not the original aflecks palace,the original burnt down I think it was across the road.i use to buy all my hip hop and white label vinyl in the 80es
Only been to Manchester once, last year, but it's evidently a city that offers a lot and is thriving in a lot of areas (look at all those skyscrapers!). After watching this, I have more to explore on my next visit. The guy in the cathedral is a credit them - full of interesting info.
Thank you so much! We couldn't agree more - this city is a bit of a contrast, because you can see the preserved history, beautiful architecture, artistic districts, great food options but also in the same time modern solutions! So like we had said Manchester became for us one of our favourite cities in the UK ❤️🎉
I live in Manchester, and I STILL want to book into that crazy beer hotel!!
We totally feel you Justin! It really was a great experience 🥳🥳
Hi Jay, congratulations on the video you made 😄
Hi Karolina, you're always nice as always 😍
Thank you for watching and your support! Really appreciate it :)
I live in Manchester and you’ve shown me places I didn’t know about! . Would of love to shown you other places that I know about
We're glad to hear that - love to make videos showcasing not only the most popular spots but also some hidden gems or places beloved by the locals :)
Best cities in UK 1. Southampton / Sandbanks / Isle of Wight, 2. Oxford 3. Bath 4. York 5. Cambridge 6. Chester
Manchester mostly a dump like Liverpool and now London
I live near manchester didn't know this restaurant from what I can see it's not just the food the father and son are the nicest people and father a Wanderers supporter what more could you want nice vibe all the customer's happy 😊,
Yes, you are right! Really worth checking it out then soon! It's called "This and That" :)
What a brilliant video. Apart from the fact that MCR is blue! Should have gone to The Etihad.
MCR was voted the 8th best city in the world for nightlife in the recent Time Out magazine poll.
Glad you loved my city. 🐝
Well said! Manchester is definitely at the top of our list of cities in the UK, so we'll be back there soon - in fact, we're flying to China from MAN airport in the second week of September this year, so we've already planned on coming to Manchester for a day trip before we leave to spend some more time there 😍
Manchester is a superb city and I’m a Yorkshireman. I often walk from Worsley into the city along the Bridgewater Canal which is the last stretch you walked into Castlefields. I dislike Brewdog due to the CEO refusing his staff in London a £1 pay rise but fuck me that hotel looks good. Hate to say it.
Very industrial? Might be being the birth of the Industrial Revolution being the major Manchester’s identity.
Manchester, United Kingdom its awesome.
It really is! United people, friendly atmosphere and nice surrounding :) Not even mentioning the food scene!
Nice channel! Adorable couple! Subbed!
You are so kind! Thank you so much 😍 Hope you’ll stay with us a bit longer!
I was so scared for Karolina's fingers as you were pouring that hot tea in the cup.
Aww, that's so sweet! But I literally drink the tea right after pouring it, so even if something spilled, it probably wouldn't bother me haha - it's weird, I know, but that's just how I am 😂😂 [Karolina]
You guys are not serious.
You went to Castlefield to look at the Viaduct garden, but not the Roman Forts?
You didn't go to any of the galleries or museums.
You didn't go Trafford centre, or The Triangle.
You didn't go to any theatres.
Looks like you went early in the morning and everywhere was closed, or even Sunday morning.
I have never in my life seen the City centre that empty, and i live there lol.
36:01 😂😂😂 My Wife and I literally were in that Cathedral in December as we visited the Chtismas Markets and because they were soread all across the City, we ended up near there and so dropped in to look. I didnt have any clue that those carvings were there under the seats, let alone how a guide would describe one as "piss in a bottle!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 he isnt holding back is he! 😂😂😂😂😂 THIS is what I love about my Home City, the humour!!
We absolutely loved walking through the cathedral with Steve because we wouldn't have known half the stuff either! And the humour was really CLASS 🤩🤩
Matt Busby played for city 😂😂😂😂😂😂
And Liverpool but made his mark at Manchester United as a manager
I can’t believe the man in Manchester cathedral said ‘piss’ haha.
We loved every minute of our Cathedral tour with Steve because he was super knowledgeable but also funny too 🤪🤪
How many times has Jay mentioned Pick n Mix on this Manchester trip 😂😂
TOO MANY 🥲 [Karolina]
Go to Picadilly Gardens when there is a heatwave and it looks very different
👀
Brewdog hotel is round the corner from my office, you showed Manchester well
😬😬
1:02:15 You are entering Castlefield Basin which is where the Bridgewater Canal (from Worsley Delph) meets the Rochdale Canal at Dukes Lock. Here is the heavy history of the Industrial Revolution where all the coal from the Delph was shipped to the Basin and offloaded to power the steam factories. It is a fascinating place and the melting pot of old architecture meets new is ever present throughout the City.
Bringing together the building that looked derelict at the beginning of this video, Afflecks Palace, and Castlefield Basin is a video you can search for of Zane Lowe interviewing 1975 singer Matty Healy where he explains the derelict building and the poster on the stairs in Afflecks Palace and also they take in the Castlefield Basin as part of a walking interview. A fascinating watch! The 1975 are essentially recognised as a Manchester band.
Guy this video has been epic so far!!!!!
Thank you for these historical insights Chris! We will definitely have to return to Manchester for more as it really is an industrial gem of England ❤️ Glad you liked the video because we had so much fun filming it!
That full English looked the business
Ps that area at night in nq is really a good vibe
I love this doghouse🥹
from notts also :) watched this as daughter is just moved to manchester, so checking it out before we visit . enjoy china
So cool! We're pretty sure your daughter will love it! And you Samantha will have interesting things to do each time you visit her! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
great video! i think most places are great places to visit, apart from Piccadilly Garderns, lol
Thanks for watching! It's so true, haha, it was the only part of the city that was just very dodgy and actually stood out (in a negative sense 😂😂) from any other areas of Manchester we visited!
Great Video so much detail . Manchester does have a bad reputation from other channels but the Cathedral looked nice and the man that showed you around Steve was very nice, The Curry place was nice not having to pay anything can you put a link to him in your comments. I am surprized you knew what a record player was. Please visit Tenby in Wales . Les adverts in the feed please was a little to much on this video did spoil the enjoyment a little.
Many thanks! This city really made a big impression on us because everyone will find something for themselves - and the nice people and beautiful, industrial buildings only encourage you to visit Manchester even more!
So far, we've only visited Llandudno which absolutely has stolen our hearts so I'm sure we'll do more of Wales exploring soon! 😍
Oh I love the tour of the church and the architecture is amazing. I would love to visit Manchester one day and is it fairly safe in the evening?
Being guided by Steve was truly an incredible enrichment to our experience and general view of cathedrals in the UK! And all of Manchester had some amazingly preserved historical gems - The Rylands Library, The Viaduct etc.❤️
As you know, we slept pretty much in the city centre and had no safety issues. But there are always more suspicious people in big cities so I would just recommend being aware of it at any time...
@@JayandKarolina yea and other cities in England are so messy right now. Maybe one day will visor Manchester and also surprised to see there is a Selfridges there :)
@@chalayanThere are actually two branches of Selfridges in Manchester…the one in the city centre and the other at the Trafford Centre
@@tommyboy0161 i see. Thanks for the info :)
This and That ... dude filling those plates up 😅
The portions were HUGE! And the great thing was that the quality of food was still amazing!
35:00 Imagine just you and the boys building chairs for the church in the 1400s and your making just some people gambling and your colleagues chuckling to himself "Its a monkey serving pee in a bottle"
Best CITY in the world
Well you havent done much travelling then have you if you think that
That was Sir Alex ferguson on the wall not Sir Bobby Charlton
On the wall of The Trafford pub? That's Sir Bobby Charlton mate
@@JayandKarolina oh yeah that's embarassing. I'm a United Fan
@@JoshuaOwen-pn1nx I had to double check myself haha - not to worry!
Well you definitely visited the wrong football ground entirely there, but aside from that its a pretty good video .... i go in 'This and That' reguarly when i'm on a city centre pub crawl on a Saturday with the lads.
Fair enough haha ⚽️ We absolutely loved everything about "This and That" - the people, atmosphere and obviously the FOOD!
Thank you for mentioning the pot smoke in your video! I am highly allergic to marijuana; so I will make sure I have plenty of benadryl when I visit Manchester! 🙂
You are so welcome! Yes... it might be unfortunately the case 🤔
Dennis Law was a Scottish footballer who played most of his career at Manchester United. He was transferred to Manchester City where he scored the goal that relegated United. He didn't celebrate. Narrow boats have a 7 foot width (beam) whereas other canal boats are widebeams (up to 14 foot wide) or general cruisers. All are canal boats.
He didn't relegate united , other results had already sent us down
You must be a huge Manchester United fan to know all them details Graham! Thank you so much for sharing! :)
Although United has a larger fan base, the majority of the fans are from outside of Manchester, the city of Manchester is majority City fans when comparing the two, and United have never had a shop in the city centre, but City have had a shop in the city centre for probably about 10 years maybe more, I can't remember when the first City store opened on market street, as it used to be on the outside of the arndale.
Brewdog is actually an award winning Scottish craft beer company so their bars are across the UK and overseas, not just England
We didn't know that they're present overseas! Thanks for sharing :)
the owners also treat their staff really poorly
You missed a huge opportunity to listen to I Am Kloot…
I'm a big fan of Brewdog IPA's but never knew they had their own premises! Nice vid ;)
If you love their beers, you'd love the stay in one of the BrewDog hotels 😍 It was such a treat for us too!
