- Bath in Somerset is a world famous City which tourists flock to there is a huge difference between the rich and the poor here. We visited Twerton which is most deprived part of Bath, home of poverty and poor health. Bristol Rovers formerly played at Twerton Park which is the only reason anyone ever visited this part of Bath. Everybody we spoke to had problems with the housing association and drugs. The crimes were described to us by the residents and we explored with some new camera equipment and conducted our first interview on the Turdtowns channel.

Finally get to see the man behind the Turdtowns voice.😄
That was quite exciting wasn't it.
At last...he must be shy ...cool beard.

Was it him though ? There is two people ! I did wonder ?

Poor Bryn. I can believe his predicament, as I have an anecdote I will share. 20 years ago I briefly lived in a midlands town, in an area that was full of post war, terraced housing. (Despite their age, there were in good condition). The council had the idea that they could sell off the land and make a mint, but the majority of the housing was owned, (there were people who had been there for 60+ years). First, they sent surveyors to the houses, but the houses were in good nick, so they couldn't make people move. Then, they just offered large cash sums to the residents to move, some took the money and ran. But, some (mostly pensioners) didn't, they wanted to stay in their family homes, places they'd lived their entire lives and had strong memories. So the council, annoyed, moved in problem tenants to live either side, (e.g. drug addicts, vandals, noisy bastards, aka anything that would scare the old). The place went downhill rapidly. Beforehand, it was a nice, safe, working class area, but now it was a shit-hole, (I'd moved down south by then, but when I visited, I was shocked). Then 2008 happened and the big banking crash. Whomever was doing the land redevelopment must've gone bust, as the area was left undeveloped, a waste-ground.
Thanks for the videos, makes my town look like a paradise in comparison.
West midlands Area by chance? This had been common practice and has was a lot more prevalent in the Black Country especially. Give it a few more years and i wouldnt be supprised if it will be poorly maintained private HMO's over the whole county and barekly any privately owned homes alltogether.

He’s the local nut job ! I live up the hill
@@Simonsayshmpwouldn’t you go nuts having to put up with all that???
Lived in Twerton for many years as well as my wife. It was never posh but it was a nice area with a vibrant high street and a decent non league football team. Have seen the shocking decline of this area over the years and I am glad to see you highlighting it. I am just glad we escaped many years ago.
Born in Twerton, a great place in the fifties but now?
You lived in your wife?
😂😂😂@@uws5604
That's a lie , twerton is fukin grim lol
Nothing wrong with Twerton. you’ll pay 350k+ plus for an ex council house.
The guy talking about the development by the council and it’s housing is talking nonsense. The whole of the lower Bristol road has been allocated for student accommodation,maybe 3000-4000 students which is an asset. To be fair the developments are really smart.
There were plans to redevelop the footy ground and regenerate the whole high street,but nope this idiot probably kicked up a stink about the noise and the whole project was scrapped.
So happy Turdtowns is back 🙂. Great video as always
Glad it hasn't gone down the pan 😁
Finding a local nutter should be a permanent new feature. End of year, should then have a "nutter of the year video"
I fully endorse this suggestion. It's not like there's a lack of them in the UK.
@@bezenby9804we have more supply than demand 😂
Oh yeah! Definitely do a local nutter feature!
I like this idea
Cardiff..
I used to live near Twerton about 20 years ago. I am sure this was the guy I had a conversation with about a van he bought in an auction that had been owned by a guy who was struck by lightening and killed when fishing. He told me inside he found a safe full of money. Such a great story.
I think Bryn loves a "story"! 🤣🤣🤣
IQ north of 180. Right.
Don't push him. He might get so mad that he invents the wheel.

If I can do ok with my low IQ of ~138 then this guy should be a god when it comes to business 😂

There is another side to Bath...The scummy ring of grime that clings to the inside of the tub!
"...they cemented that on me shag pile carpet". Legend.
Love Turdtowns. The interview with a local 'character' would be a welcome addition to the future chronicaling of Turdtowns
😂 💯
After the old fella claimed 'an IQ north of 180', I found it hard to take him too seriously 🤣
After he has said that, all went south :D
there are lots of differing IQ scales
I was gone before he was a sentence in, lol. It used to be that these tin-hat loonies just stuck to their crackpot conventions; you find 'em everywhere these days. He's gonna find himself in court if he keeps making comments about people on camera like that, though. Good on Turdtowns to bleep the name.
he is as mad as a bag of frogs
@@edmundprice5276 There is only one, or else it would not be a standard for comparison. Ask me how I know... happens to be one of my favourite conversation pieces, I had even read a book on IQ testing already 30 years ago by the Mensa Society, there are no secrets about IQ testing. People talk about intelligence all the time, if only in the negative, by calling someone stupid, which has to be relative to someone intelligent, or else it would be meaningless to call someone the opposite of that. But ask the person next to you what the definition of intelligence is, and they will not know, and neither do you, I have never met anyone who knew the definition if pressed for it, so I do not mean to give you shit, it is only that people talk about it all the time anyway, obviously it carries a lot of value to us... err, smart, clever.. or something, innit? Intelligence has exactly one meaning. - But yeah, it is one of the two things that occupies our minds the most... whether you have brains or not, and whether you are good looking or ugly as fuck... 90% of all insults can be reduced to alluding to either of the two ;) Now, 180 is a lot, really a lot... we need more information here, is the best I can do for him ;)
Grew up there before it was studentville - couldn't wait to leave and never wanted to go back - its one giant bowl of pollution and snobbery, it's geared up for consumerism and tourists, drinking, drugs and late night expensive dining and one night stands - it has a certain pretentiousness all of it's own - yes there is some wonderful architecture there but as a place to grow up, it was for me terrible and I left as soon as I was able, much of it is dreary and neglected, even the once beautiful botanical gardens are more or less grown over because they council don't want to pay for maintenance of anything
The homeless are many and petty criminals are attracted because of the perceived wealth of the place - one man moved from Bournemouth where he was homeless, to Bath and worked stealing designer glasses which were sold to a dodgy pub owner - I used to work in a 24 hour shop and saw all the dreggs of society, crims, dealers, grotty freaks, smack heads a plenty - getting robbed and attacked for booze after the clubs came out was a regular occurence - one regular used to come in with her little girl, very normal, within 2 months of living around all the grimness she'd got into smack , lost the kid and was asking me for money
There's a really dreadful side and consequence of putting people in extreme poverty right next to such extreme wealth - Twerton was always grim though, even the market was just low quality tat we'd laugh about and just as grim was Whiteway, Snow Hill, Norfolk Crescent and Julian Road - which is directly behind the pomp of the Royal Crescent - funny thing people living in those areas were often much easier to be around than the other side of Bath which is just grandiose rich kids getting wasted, making music and generally just living off Mummy and Daddy whist doing almost nothing beneficial to anyone, don't get me started on the students!
Thanks for your interesting input. Good to hear it from someone who has lived and grown up there.
@@katewolfspirit6722 that;s kind thanks :) I should have said the chippy was the only positive of Twerton, best garlic Mushrooms of any I've been to before or since, plus there used to be a bakery that had a tiny hatch you could get fresh dougnuts from -in the 80's there was a lot of families and most people knew each other but now it's just mainly students, the gardens are just full of rubbish and recycling boxes there was a time though it had a nicer community but boy am I glad not to be trudging those street anymore!
That's a fair assessment of this place,&everything is done for the university!
I had a deep fried mars bar from there many years ago. Wasn’t great, sadly. I should’ve stuck to the chips.
It’s even more studentville now. Pretty soon there’ll be more students than residents and tourists, the way it’s going.

Bath is an absolute shit hole even in the centre if you keep your eyes open
Yep. Once seen cannot be unseen. Also, being ripped off isn't really a recreational activity, as some would have us believe.
A well polished turd
Thank god for people like you i live in Bath in twerton and I’m so glad someone has finally fuckin gone further than the city centre and actually came to the real dirty side👏🏽
I lived in Bath for the best part of a decade and I only ever set foot in Twerton ONCE, and that was an accident.
Going there is like that scene in the Hurt Locker, where Jeremy Renner wanders off the base and goes into the darkest reaches of the town.
People normally only go to Twerton for two reasons:
1. They live there
2. They are in the back of a Police car being driven around trying to identity who mugged them.
What you have to remember is that Bath is literally the most beautiful City in the UK, and there is some national beauty competition that they literally won every year for about twenty years in a row. They spend millions of pounds every year on FLOWERS which they plant in the spring on nearly every roundabout and border, and yearly transient population of students and tourists outnumbers the residents by a factor. Bath council is entirely aligned with the principle of making the city pretty and posh, and they will cut funding for essential projects in order to do that. They are also notorious for cutting shady quasi-corrupt deals with businesses to bring even more funds to the beautification budget. Its not an accident that the council cut a deal with a bus provider which made the bus route up Norwood Hill to the University the most expensive bus route per mile in the UK.
If Bath Council had their way, they would round up the "Poors" and dump them all on the outskirts of Bristol. If they could get away with, they convert one of the old disused mines into social housing and throw them down the hole. I have only heard of immigrants being housed in a Bath hotel ONCE. Pretty sure the council put an end to that.
Interesting, I worked in the area for a while around 20 years ago so used to go over in the evenings to explore the City as everyone kept saying how great it is . Glad I looked round and definitely interesting but the most unfriendly, place with the rudest people I have ever spent time in.
3. For football
Lived in bath for 4 years, years ago now, whole place is shit, if you want to be a cunt to posh people its great, shit, piss ant city, useless
haha funny about Twerton. I think Bath was the most beautiful City in Uk but I think that mantel has been long over taken by places like York, Stratford upon Avon and Canterbury although i lasted visited York in 2004 it was very nice.
@@user-tb7qz7id6t Haven't visited those places recently so maybe I will give them a shot.
Strangely, when I was younger, Canterbury was legendary for its fighting on Saturday night. If you were in the centre of town on a Saturday night you had even odds of someone punching your lights out. It was like Plymouth but worse haha.
The Cathedral was beautiful mind.
I really liked your compassionate ending commentary.
Poor Bryn, regardless of any opinion of him
I felt very sorry for his plight.

I live in Bristol and people seem to be really into shitting in the street here too.
'mon, get it together down there guys
Sounds a bit like Oxford. Get away from the dreaming spires and into places like Cowley or Blackbird Leys or Rose Hill and it's pretty gruesome.
Curo is the largest owner of those posh Georgian buildings and even own one on the Royal Crescent and are hated just as much by those living in those posh homes

I was born in Bath and lived in Weston village till I was 12 and loved it there. Was a great place to grow up. In 1992/3 I lived in snow hill when I was 14/15yrs old and it was ok but could get quite rough. Just tried not to fall out with anyone. The park in snow hill in the early 90s was brand new and was good for small kids, sad to see it like that now. At 15/16yrs old we lived on the paragon ( social housing ) and they were fancy. Like whole houses within a building. Two story flats. I never lived in tweton but we used to take the piss outta it as kids. I moved away at 16yrs. I miss it. Visit occasionally because most of my family are there. I've also heard how bad curo is, so glad I don't live there now.
Is it bath or Barth?
@@spana123321 well I haven’t lived there since the mid 90s so cannot say but I hear people saying it’s not the same as it used to be. So… I dunno ! Growing up there in the 80s and 90s was awesome though, from going into town and doing activities and shopping and then hanging out at vikki park to also playing all day in the fields surrounding Weston village. Back then it definitely was Bath .
@@spana123321 Depends on how middle class your teeth are, I reckon.

Its still a place for students to splash the cash was in the pig n fiddle pub a round of beer n a double vodka with some fancy beverage cost me just shy of 20.00...i used to frequent the indie clubs back in the 90s fusion etc..fun and alot more interaction..now its just lots of shops, tourists and big bucks unlike Twerton sadly..I lived Snow Hill for a few yrs keep yourself to yourself..don't make a target for others..otherwise you become unfortunately the whipping boy or girl..Longacre Tavern, Hatchets or The Bell the places to go..also for cheap added sawdust The Beehive too..
I thought you'd misspelt Tiverton in the title. Plenty of human shit there!

From memory, Twerton is a contraction of Twiverton, so pretty close!

Thanks! I was asking for this video after you did Poshtowns last year. Tbh I've been expecting worse, but anything that reeks of that level of corruption is just plain disgusting. I bet you'll find hunderds of such cases in and around London though as well. More videos with interviews from locals would be really interesting.
that was hard hitting and a great rant by Bryn!
I live in Bath and in a village a mile away for years. Bath is nice, you need to leave it to appreciate its full beauty and how comfortable it is. It was getting claustrophobic and once you start seeing the Masonic architecture everywhere, you cannot unsee it. Surprisingly, a large chunk, something like a sixth of all Georgian properties in the city belongs to the locally based housing association. Even in the Royal Crescent or other parts that are the most expensive parts of the city centre, you could ind social housing tenants. There is a large estate, Foxhill that was always notorious, but things are changing as more and more people are priced out as generations grow up, unable to find social housing matching what they had growing up. I personally hated Oldfield Park and the fact that people were willing to pay that much for properties with restricted privacy, often no usable gardens and pedestrians seeing through.
Oldfield Park the rabbit den..was ok only really good part was the high street with the pubs and local charity shops..!
You fuking tell 'em, Bryn!
🇬🇧There's a croft with 3 acres for sale at the very end of the United Kingdom, isolated single track, 10mins from nearest other occupied property.
I wonder if that is the answer in 2024's broken Britain?🇬🇧
I'm currently applying to be rehoused within BANES, chap helping me with the paperwork said 'Don't bid on properties in Twerton' I was a bit miffed. Thank you Turd Towns for answering this for me.
It covers over 60% of the council housing in Bath tho, so not easy to avoid when looking at places on offer.
@@Yoyo-01 That's a lot 😬. I'm on the edge of BANES at the moment, top of my road and turn right is Bristol. I really don't want to go into Bath if I can help it.
I do pest control in Bath, so its pretty safe to say I've seen the city's arsehole, and Twerton definitely takes the cake in depravation. Everythings falling apart, even the Morrisons there is a mess that their head office would rather forget about. Its just one of those places the council would rather sweep under the rug and its to the detriment of the rest of the city. You wouldn't think bath would have gangs and the like, but it does and they all hail from Twerton. Even get them going to places like Frome and Westbury to cause trouble. Cant blame them, the kids have been left with nothing better to do and no money
You should do a doc on Curo to expose the truth!
Even just the name Twerton matches its appearance. Poor Brian I felt sorry for his continuous situation. Was not sure about the sums of money he had spent on his interior £350 thousand, and being put in a pvc door frame, If he owns his property why are the council going in there to destroy things like his gold fireplace. He should put a CTV camera on the corner of the building to catch the people who toilet his drain. I do hope he gets some peace soon. I wanted him to invite you inside to see his interior designs. Thankyou for sharing about this part of Bath that I did not know existed.
No video for ages, I hope you are ok.
Just a little history. Twerton did have a train station, the smallest. That tall building on the corner, at 1:52 where you turn from the main road and go under the bridge. That was the entrance but it closed years ago. Also driving along the Lower Bristol rd, you see lots of little doors in the wall under the trainline. That was an attempt at making some housing. I'm talking victorian era here. I was born and lived in bath for 20+ years and never knew that was the purpose for all those little doors. Also as an ex local, I used to go to Twerton market, that was nice but don't know if they still do that anymore.
No the market has stopped sadly.
You say B'aa'th correctly well done you ❤
i said that and sounded like a bloody sheep ahahahahahahahaaaa
Love the featured historian.
We’re waiting patiently for you to visit East Anglia 😊
You could stop in Chester, very similar to Bath, very posh and expensive houses and then just outside if a little hidden is Blacon. Cheshire police even moved the police station from the centre of the city to a new building in Blacon. Often the people who live there are the real people of Chester, the ones who do the real work and need a voice but those who visit only see the gentrified nice Chester not the place that is forgotten about!
Blacons police bacon 🥓
Dirty Twertz it's a council/Curo dumping ground like you say 60 odd percent all together in one area that hasn't been touched since it was built. No regular maintainence on the buildings or outside. Lots of homeless addicts get housed there after coming to Bath to beg from the tourists ..so it's pretty mingin :D
Jesus this brings back memories. Curo were rubbish when I worked for the council. Anyway, now go the other end of Bath and see how bad that is...
Also my mate found a pair of Rayban up the top of Twerton and lost them on a rave boat on the Danube.
I worked door to door in Twerton, before we got there I assumed it would be like the rest of Bath that I had seen up until that point. Was shocked to find it was really grim and pretty much like any other council estate I had worked on before! Though, I had always wondered where the reprobates you see milling around Bath city centre came from.......
Great video. As a resident of County Durham I’d love to see you make a top 10 because I know my town would be near the top. We’ve been ranked as the number 1 cheapest place to buy a house in many newspapers.

We need a better index for turdtown rankings - index of multiple deprivation is too scientific, I recommend 'abandoned dog turds per 100m', and think Bexleyheath, SE London would rank pretty high, the local mouth breathers love sharing the output of their mongrels with the wider community!
Thank you for sharing your pain, so funny. Great episode.
not really funny, it's sad. This chap does not have the means or skills to upgrade himself, and I bet the young people see him as a grumpy old man. But hero for taking on the Council, the Landlords and the courts, but one ain't going to win against the elite and powerful.

Hang in there because this man does know his stuff and talks complete sense. I really feel sorry for his plight and others in similar situations also.

I love going to Twerton Park for the football, I hope you stopped at The Crown for a pint! Loads of good memories growing up in Twerton and Oldfield Park - lots of money is being pumped into the High Street soon!
Appreciate the more empathetic take on this one, the guy seemed a bit nutty but you listened. I'll subscribe on the basis of you showing empathy for communities like this, thumbs up to you.
‘Snow hill is an interesting Estate.’ I’d go along with that description 😃 Especially with that tavern that used to be around nearby and is now a pizza place. Interesting for sure. Top video, as ever. My home city, I was raised in the BA2 area, Southdown way. Be good to see you cover that area and maybe the interesting area of Whiteway? Or would that just be too risky? 😉
Can we have Oxfordshire next please? Love your videos mate!
There were some older houses with character there, but a lot of the housing looked like it was UK Army family accommodation. Bryn: Justice or not, if you can, get out of there - living there is obviously very, very stressful.
Great video, excellent idea interviewing the local mentalist!
Around May/June visit Scotland and do Cumbernauld, Motherwell, East Kilbride and Dundee. There's piles of turdtastic material there.
It's sad that you missed the huge double fronted Creative Twerton, run by Little Lost Robot, on the high street. They run free arts and educational courses, events and activities. They are giving so much to the community in this area. I know Twerton looks bad, but, having lived very near there, it really isn't awful. The train stop is Oldfield Park, and is a short walk from Twerton high street. Things have gotten worse since Tory rein, but there is a community movement going on to try to improve it. Obviously, council input is necessary, but I just wanted to add that there are efforts being made to make life more bearable 😅
knew this would be about Twerton, its down the road from where all the students typically live. I was told to avoid going there when I was at Uni in bath.
If you do County Durham for your next video you should look at Ferryhill, Peterlee and Bishop Auckland. The north-east of England is beautiful but the way that some of the towns there have been neglected and left to rot is very sad.
I used to deliver parcels to one of the local schools in twerton and often the headmaster would be outside the school gate with a litter picker picking up used junkie needles, why local councils give priority to these degenerates when it comes to council properties rather than struggling working class families baffles me, I know plenty of good families that work just to live and would give their right arm for a council place to get on in life. Priorities are all wrong and something needs to be done about it maybe a monthly drugs test would put and end to it, 3 strikes and your out 🤔
I have family living in Twerton . It is rough as hell ! Snow Hill is better but probably the best council estate in Bath is Weston.
Thank God that I’m living on a beautiful Scottish Island.
Another great video as you flush the streets while taking a bath. Im sure people would love your descriptions of Cas Vagas and Ponte Carlo :D
Hello my good man. It has been four months since you released a video and it is now nearly summertime. So please release more Turdtowns videos. Thank you from beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
My first ever experiences of watching Rovers 30 years ago were at Twerton Park, making the fortnightly pilgrimage from Bristol over to Bafffff.
I take in the occasional Bath City match every so often (mainly for nostalgic reasons) and it’ll come as no surprise that not a single piece of the ground is any different to my last visit in 1996.
No word of a lie in this version of TT’s, the entire area in general is a proper dump.
Just stumbled on this video - love it. I lived in Twerton for 15 years! However, I do have to say, that the chemist gives out Methadone NOT mephadrone :)
Great video as always. Video on Berkshire west Berkshire ? It’s not far from you 😊
Snow Hill worth checking too..another big estate..used to live there yrs ago..!
What monsters the Council members must be, to leave people like this and never ever act in the interest of the community
There has been quite an obvious pattern of "hitting out" (whatever the f that means) at trending social justice issues, usually a few weeks after the hype has already started to die down, and then disappearing back into the shadows without doing much else. Apparently this and a few fake handwritten notes shoved through the door is all it takes to secure approval from the few that still believe their vote actually makes a difference. To be honest, I don't think we would even know if the election was rigged.

When are you heading up North? There is a plethora of hovels that have more than an abundance of faecel matter to choose from. St Helens, Skelmersdale to name but a few
Skelmersdale is a sight to behold... a sh!t knock-off of Milton Keynes designed around the car but with among the lowest % of car ownership in the country. Built after WW2 to house people from Liverpool but has no railway station and isn't in Merseyside.
Doncaster, Mexborough, Barnsley...
If you go to Skelmersdale, do drop in on the Maharishi Dome by way of contrast.
@@Eric_Hunt194 You can get a bus from Skelmersdale to the Upholland station. It takes 15 mins. They'd have to build a railway line to connect Skelmersdale with the Northern line. But yes, not the best planning.
If you offered me a swap deal between Runcorn and here its a swap deffo lots of estates here. Try Windmill Hill small but full of activity again another place i lived but the buses refused to service. Made Twerton look hospitable. Why? Im eager to come home but priced out of the market within Bath City Centre..great insightful video..
Having grown up in Bath I know how it’s very different from one side of the river to the other.
But it’s far from the dystopian Bristol overlooking the poorer classes in the wasteland below.
You should visit some of the estates in and around Belfast Northern Ireland
As a German I asked myself: WTF is Curo? and at least at 7:30 I got it.. Oh, it's the British version of Vonovia! This poor man better hope this companies will never come in contact or they'll bill him not 10 grand for the windows but eventually 7 for heating he never used(and the windows will fall out by itself probably). Edit: 11:12 Oh, they already do it. Where is the government? Companies like this should not be allowed to do any business with affect any people directly.
Funny how his bespoke front door can be also purchased in B&Q...😂
As a format going forward, you might have stayed with Bryn a bit to much, I confess that I fast forwarded a bit to skip most of his bit, just watched snippets of him. Maybe if you can find more than one person to interview next time and have a section in the film called LooneyTurds or something...
Still, good potential for expansion of Turdtowns, although I still prefer the Countywide visits, picking off the floaters from the flushers, to coin a metaphor...😂
Agreed, the interview was a little long.
Agree. This video was mainly just practice. Gained a lot from doing it. Gotta try new stuff and learn new skills to grow.
Agreed , too much of him
Hats off to Bryn for telling it as it is.
If you go back to the 1950's you will see it is a common strategy of rich property developers to make poor areas adjacent to high yield areas unliveable by moving undesirables into an area.
As soon as he throws in the towel they will pull down the building and build yuppie flats.
Let's hope Bryn sticks it out and the developers offer to set him up in a high end flat in a better part of the city.
The band Tears for Fears came from Twerton in Bath.
Curt Smith lived in Walcot, not Twerton
Every Bryn wants to rule the World.
Didn't they end up in a mansion up shamcastle lane?
@@HKFunsterCorrect. And Roland Orzabal is from Portsmouth.
Incorrect. Curt Smith lived in Walcot and Roland Orzabal is from Portsmouth.
Problem with a rail stop in Twerton is that there is one in Oldfield Park, just a short distance towards the town centre. This would probably cause some sort of congestion if trains were stopping at both. But Twerton could definitely use a better path to the station. I lived in Oldfield Park for quite a few years, and while the only murder I can recall happened in Snow Hill, a LOT of antisocial behaviour originated in Twerton. But it did always feel like the council liked to just pretend it didn't exist which meant that it just got worse and worse. And Bath has always had a bad drugs problem, to be fair, and you do see it in places like Victoria Park where, when I was living there, at night there were kiddies on mopeds robbing people at knifepoint and the public toilets were often littered with used needles. But for all that, Bath is a lovely place. But that Bryn does appear to be utterly unhinged!
This is what is missing from previous videos. Interviews with quirky locals. More of that please.
It may be entertaining for you but exploiting people for clicks is pretty low TBH.
@@womagrid I thought they were pretty fair to him. He was entitled to say what he wanted and present himself how he liked. They did nothing to lead him on. Of course media is about allowing people to present themselves and this has happened long before the dawn of the internet. True exploitation of people is unpleasant but I don't think this was it.
@@uws5604 For sure it could have been worse, but (at least for me) the thumbnail gave the game away. Also, I have no idea how much context was given about the purpose of the video and how it would be presented. That being the case, I probably shouldn't assume the worst.
@@womagrid The thumbnail wasn't very complimentary, I'll give you that. Personally, I would never, ever get into a public conversation with anybody who was capturing TH-cam footage.
For "quirky" read "nutter".
Twerton Park is a wonderful old football ground. It would be a shame to spoil it. Area looked fine when I went but does need investment watching this.
Great episode!
Had to take my daughter to bath 3 weeks ago , had to make a detour as that morning there was a double stabbing in Victoria park
