    It's not "exasperated" energy costs, it's "exacerbated" energy costs. I keep hearing people make this mistake. "exacerbated" means to make worse. Exasperated is what people feel when this happens.

    York - Always loved it - Apart the utter shock the 1st time you encounter the massive Viking plop in the Jorvik 😱.. Clifford’s tower is a great way to end a walk of the city walls.. its chequered history though is very thought provoking ..…The Shambles is anything but .. such a lovely street .. £48 for the Minster??? 😮.. wow - divination suddenly got expensive 😮..Gardens look lovely and free too… Even the ad break in this vid was enjoyable… 😂..Gonna do York wall walk video soon to add to our video series … It’s a thing we do other than cruises believe it or not..This video makes us want to bring forward our next trip to York .. loved your previous video on the railway museum .. such brilliant memories of visiting as a kid ..Thanks for sharing your fun 🤩 via TH-cam

      Ah thats a very good point! It’s a generational thing isn’t it? I couldn’t wait to order my first pint at a pub. It was a right of passage, being a big lad growing up I started when I was 15 and never looked back. Sadly kids today meet and socialise online, use dating apps and are happy not to socialise in person. That with the increasing rents and rates or charges by breweries and slim profit margins the pubs are dying out. I hope the micro pub experience takes off and that, as irresponsible as it might be, we pass on pub culture to future generations..

      Ah thank you Simon, it was certainly one of those holidays you need a holiday to recover from! Well at least I’ve got several videos to edit from it and enjoy. Definitely a nice alternative to some of the more depressing boarded up content. Got some great new series lined up for this year. A “we ♥️” series that should see a lot of drone footage get put to good use and of course, the dreaded return of Boarded Up, Series 2, which starts in August. This time it will be faster, tighter, feature interviews with locals and be well and truly shocking..

    Hi Nick and Jill Love York ❤️ We've never been inside Clifford Tower. Looks a great view from the top. The Shambles are great to walk round, so many independent and unusual shops. York Minster is expensive York Museum Gardens looked nice and great that it's free to enter. Loved the blanket, perfect place for a picnic, needed more singing though Jill 😊 What a shame part of the walls were closed, but after seeing that sign we couldn't walk on them with Boo anyway. Great views of the Minster from the walls A good gate of the week and it was squeaky 😊 The National Railway museum is a fab place to visit and it's still free which is great 😊 Great twirling over the Railway bridge Another great video guys with lots of information 😊 Hope you are both well and had a fabulous weekend

Do you have a doggy back pack she can ride in that would work too! Thanks for another great comment! Have a great week ahead 👍❤️

      Thanks for that, yeah I’m still circling around the final places for series 2. These are definite contenders! I think there is still a lot of pride in some towns and cities and they dont want people to know just how bad the state of retail decline is in their towns and cities and as such they have been overlooked by the High Street Regeneration Fund. The sooner people start talking about these places and being honest about them the sooner Central Government help becomes available. 20 million for failing high streets which can do some real good in the right hands yet some people would rather there towns and cities continued to deteriorate without anyone knowing about it..

    Never really explored York but it does remind me a lot of Chester with the wall. What's that all about being shut for being slippy. Health and safety gone mad. I'm a bit of a cheap skate so not sure I'd be paying to get up the tower but that English heritage comes in handy. I think I'd just admire York Minster from outside for free too. I might stick my hand in my pocket for the transport museum tho or join you for that picnic. Any room for a hermit on that Lake District map 🙂👍

      great description of gothic architecture Steven, it also applies to people who love certain UK music from the 1980s “ Goth is a music-based subculture that began in the United Kingdom during the early 1980s. It was developed by fans of gothic rock, an offshoot of the post-punk music genre”. I myself am a fan of that era and music and have pretty much worn black ever since but because I don’t dye my beard purple and stay I my room 24/7 some people might consider me not to be a goth!

    Hey both. Ah, we really do need to go to York. Never heard of Clifford’s Tower. We’d get in free too being CADW members for over a year. A few too many stairs there 😂. Parliament something or other…nice one Nick 😂😂. We really want to go to the Shambles and York Minster. It’s very expensive though. Cat Gallery and Socktipus, brilliant haha. 3 hours to buy a ghost. Ah, a Christmas shop….yes, we do know who’d like that 😂😂🎄⛄️🎅❤️. The monastery looks really cool. Gotta love a Lake District blanket, excellent stuff! Ooh, we love a secret garden, looks lovely for weddings. Boo to closed wall gates. Just as well there’s plenty of benches. The railway museum is definitely on the list. Love the old trains. The Mallard is just beautiful. It’s amazing it’s free. We really enjoyed that both. Hope you’ve had the best holiday x

      York Minster is ridiculously priced. Not justifiable. Id say, fudge it, film going in through the doorway, then film inside Beverley Minster, 15 miles down the road, FREE, same design, same architect and save the best part of fifty quid. Got to love a Xmas Shop, the Shambles are lovely. There is so much to do for free in York. We could make three of these videos without spending a penny. We went back the week later to take Cara round the Railway Museum, im no train enthusiast but there is a days worth of enjoyment to be had in there for anyone. The holiday was amazing guys. So much room, would have loved you to join us. We are really depressed being back, Spain was really on our cards for retirement or escape with the brexit vote or as a pension plan, everything is so cheap there, but post brexit you need a place there (easy enough) AND £2700 a month from non income or £250,000 in your bank each to live in Spain now for more than six months of the year. We have the assets and the ability but it only comes with income, it seems, this week, after research, our plans are quashed. Bad times.

    Great stuff Nick and Jill. I have to say the Museum Gardens looked fantastic with the ruins of the Abbey in them. I can remember being in Clifford's Tower as a kid, I'm sure there was a cell where they said they held notorious highwayman Dick Turpin before he was hanged (in York - also free entertainment back in the day). The Minster is a bit pricey to get in, I'm sure Durham Cathedral is also free (donations are welcomed though).

    Very nice budget tour of York and I particularly liked the shop that had you in stitches 🤣 The walk around the walls was really beautiful. Would have liked to have seen inside York Ministers but as your on a budget I’ll pop over to Alan METALMAN’s channel to see that (he’s not a cheapskate). Believe we’ve recently seen a tour of the Railway Museum but as it’s free, yes include it again. Outstanding Gate Of The Week. Well done Nick & Jill you’ve lifted my period of depression slightly, thank you. ❤️

    • @GENerationXplorers
      @GENerationXplorers 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I’m pleased about that Mike. Yes we are cheapskates! That price for York Minster and the roof is more than a nights stay somewhere. I’m always very practical about things like that! Two days somewhere else thanks to a nights stay away or a trip around a Minster that is identical to the one in Beverley that’s free!? Yes this visit to York was a bit of a whistle stop tour (is that the right term?), we ran from A to B to C without taking very much in. When the opportunity presented itself to visit York again the week later we spent almost the entire day in the Railway Museum! We did mix a lot of the footage up from both visits on the railway museum video. Jill not being the on screen professional we are sadly wore different clothes. On the Railway Museum video it looks like she does a quick change act about thirty times. I will have words with her about that one! Lots of hiking videos to come from our trip to the Picos De Europa (on a budget of course!) sending all our love ♥️

    You cannot argue with the Railway museum but I can remember a time when you could walk around the Minster for free and I can remember us as a family being very disappointed with Clifford's Tower. Unsure what we were all expecting but it seemed just a view point and an expensive one at that. Haha that que for the Ghost merchant never seems to decrease and 3 hours it too long to wait for us OAPS and funny enough, I always wondered where the Drapers lived :o). Shame about some of the Wall was closed but we always have a walk on the wall every time we visit York. Only been once so fat this year, which is unusual for us but with all the trains drivers being on strike and so many cancelations, we have just saved our money - so much for saving the highstreets🤔, cheers ALan

    • @GENerationXplorers
      @GENerationXplorers 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Ah I remember the Minster being free, they would charge a nominal price to go up to the roof. I can remember in the late 70s when they started to charge for the roof and my mum was furious. I would love to do the Carol service at the Minster one year but you have to book almost a year in advance. 3.5 hours to queue for a custom ghost, that shop has done something right! The longer the queues the more people seem determined to get one, genius. As much as Labour being back in will be a nightmare for the country they will hopefully sort the train strikes out and maybe even, dare I even say it, renationalise them and make fares reasonable again? Is that too much to ask? Both those things are on the Labour manifesto. Albeit it will be the only good thing to come out of them ruling for five years!

What a great idea for a map...one can plot out their route while sitting and enjoying a picnic. Now that railway museum is something else!! Awesome!! Very much enjoyed your wander around town!!

    I loved York when we visited a couple of summers ago. Its a great atmosphere just to have a wander amongst those individual shops and no visit would be complete without a stroll down the Shambles, window shopping of course haha. We attended a concert in the cathedral so got in for "free" though it was being recorded for BBC radio so no coughing, sneezing or getting up to go to the loo allowed🤭. The gardens are beautiful & the walls, well they are a must. You had me worried thinking there wouldn't be a gate to qualify for the gate of the week, but we were saved !! Oh brilliant, why not take a bit of the Lake District with you 😃 I've never seen one of those before ... no need to buy all those maps, just take a blanket🤣😂
