"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies," Jefferson wrote. " If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around(these banks) will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." "The issuing power of currency shall be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." We should all meditate on that amazing prediction of things to come that are not necessarily beneficial to the 99%-- but only to the 1%.

You chose two pubs and you drink Guiness? One pub there, West Riding Refreshment Rooms, has won multiple Camra awards and was nearly Campaign for Real Ale National Winner. It's at the Railway Station and you've missed a real gem. It really is a great pub.
It's not just Dewsbury, it's every ex Northern Mill / mining town. I see you missed the best pub in town the West Riding, winner of countless awards for it's beer and people come from Leeds and Huddersfield to drink it. You weren't far from it when you walked across the bridge at the Asda. The opposite way Leggers, fantastic pub. Town centre pubs usually are crap, everywhere
Agree the train stat pub is ok. He ort to have a walk round Batley too , its the same there. Huddersfield has to some extent too. Its M and S shut down there, and its market.
I live there, and trust me whenever I walk round there shaking my head in despair, snd remembering when it was a town with all the shops it had, and the hell 🕳 it's become now
The days of pubs and friendly banter and even eye contact seem to be going now ,Ive noticed when you are in a bus station for example and you strike up a coversation with someone the other people around seem to look at you as if to say why are you talking to each other as they look at theirs sceens .Back in the 90s was best time for pubs ,thats all gone now and beer was miles better ,you didnt get a hangover off 3 pints either cause its made cheaper with more chemicals in it.Great vids man.
Think the hangover now might be an age thing 🤣 but totally agree even when i was in my 20's in early 2000's I could go to pubs not arrange anything with mates and strike up conversations with anyone
Was even better in 60s and 70s .live bands every weekend. People would be queing outside at opening time.They where jam packed.atmosphere was electric. Happy days.
That guy was spot on about why High Streets are screwed. Culmination of out of town shopping centres with free parking, everyone shops online (usually the non tax paying Amazon) plus councils nationwide are making parking charges extortionate in the towns.

Got old photos of Drwsbury in the early 70s. My gran was a Saturday girl in Woolworths. And was in the collegians shows at the Town hall. The town was gorgeous. Really well kept. This is heart wrenching.
Yep, my home town, wisbech in Cambridgeshire, started to fall 25 years ago when Blair opened the country to the former eastern bloc citizens, I seldom go back there now and when I do it's a flying visit, the wisbech I knew was a hard town full of hard men but there were no muggings or murders, these days it's full of Albanians and Lithuanians drinking in the streets, dealing, trafficking young girls, attacking locals out with their families, I don't recognise the place and most of the people I grew up with have moved now like I did in 2002 when my car got broken into for the umpteenth time. I still own a house there that i rent to an English couple but I don't think I'll ever live there again.
I spent a few months behind the bar at the Welly back in the late 90's. I came in for the last few hours after the topless barmaid had finished through until the landlord took over at 11:30 to let the coppers in the back door after the late shift finished. 🤣I left Dewsbury in 2010, and it was well on its way down back then. I still go up and see family every few months and it just depressing to go into the town centre nowadays. I think its the only place I know where both McDonalds and Wetherspoons have shut down. Like the guy said, most of the good pubs in Dewsbury are out of the town centre. I went to a wake at the 'Crack' up Crackenedge lane about a mile out of the town a few weeks ago and it was really nice. The staff were really friendly, it was warm and welcoming the prices were good and the spread they put on was really nice. Dewsbury town centre is a lost cause now, unless they can find a way of getting people to go back there, but there is nothing to do anymore, so no reason to go
Admittedly people aren't going to pubs as much nowdays due to cost but look at the demographic, the people that live there just don't drink, much like Bradford.
@@HollowRick certainly take your life in your hands if you drive there - dont think 80% have a license or even passed a test.

Another Irishman here. It’s awful what’s happening all round the country. Towns just turning into dumps, shuttered shops everywhere, councils broke, but why are they broke? We pay enough for services don’t we? The councils like the useless government are only good at wasting money. And in ireland with their traitorous government are busy destroying what was once a beautiful happy country where people actually liked each other. Every where we look it’s just bad news.
Seen you today mate as our lass needed to go specsavers in town, didn’t want to be on cam but there is a good pub in dewsbury it’s the west riding at the train station give it a try if you pass back through with the added bonus you don’t need to go to the centre ha.
Really is mate and to be fair I avoid Dewsbury town centre at all costs and you nailed it in your video I just drive to Leeds and park at trinity as it’s just got it all going on.
Back in the 70's I lived three or four miles away, there was a cinema, and my girlfriends posh mum used to shop at Marks and Sparks. There was a pub on the Batley Road which was the only place locally that sold Old Peculiar. In 1982, our kid's stag night started in Batley and crawled it's way towards Dewsbury, whilst the hen night ran the opposite way. When the two met up he and his fiancée buggered off at about 9:00 pm! We skipped a few pubs and spent the rest of the night drinking Old Peculiar. The next time I was there was in 2006, I went there to register Betty's death and it was pretty dire, I didn't go there again until 2015 after dad died to get a copy of his will certified. By then it had really hit rock bottom. Batley and Morley seem to have improved a little since the 70s, and maybe Wakefield too, but Dewsbury is dreadful.
Only place left to drink in Dewsbury in the day is the West Riding at the train station. Proper ale, proper beer and proper people. Everywhere else is just scummy.
I went to the art school in Batley in the mid 70s but lived off Halifax Rd in Dewsbury. The Victorian houses were beautiful and the little pub called the Bath was a lovely and friendly place run by a fantastic couple called Bill and Edith
@@Joel-xb3mxI'm Batley, it's pretty much the same here, it was buzzing from Batley to Dewsbury some 20 years ago the place was alive....it's dead now, it's a shame, but it's a sign of the times we live in.
Everyone keeps talking about the pub attached to Dewsbury station. It looks quaint from outside with the Virginia creeper covering the entire pub. Yes, it's got a good reputation for a great range of pints etc. The only thing that bowled me over when I went in there one afternoon was the overwhelming smell of body odour. The bar staff mustn't like opening the windows for fresh air! I've never been in since!
Strange smell when you enter the West Riding of mucky bodies. Quite strong on Saturday afternoon 20/07/24. My colleague said they had not been in for years and still smells the same.
What are the odds? He's stood there asking the gentleman in the hat why the place is going down hill just as a fully clad letterbox walks past in the background 😂
It's the same with all channels like this. But I'm not surprised he doesn't answer because if he was honest he'd be immediately demonetized and likely have is channel canned.
My dad lived in thornhill just 5 mins from dewsbury town centre, i remember going down to the town as a kid and how full of shops and people it used to be I haven’t been around there for about 5 years now as he’s moved from Thornhill but my god how it’s changed 😢
I was born in Dewsbury in 1973, grew up in Mirfield and moved to the South East of England in 1998. I will NOT be back. What a depressing shit hole it is now. BTW Ravensthorpe between Dewsbury and Mirfield is like a demilitarised zone.
You should have a pop back up to Mirfield for a visit, it's still nice and going strong. Plenty of pubs still open and new places opening over the years.
I lived in Ravensthorpe and Dewsbury Moor from the 1970's to 2000 then moved away for a while. Moved back to Ravensthorpe in 2006 it had changed so much. East European gangs, prostitution, money laundering take aways, terrible traffic. I now live in Somerset, its a different world, I'm s happy
Same, born Dewsbury 1973, I live in Batley, have all my life and it's marginally better than Dewsbury right now (...but not by much I'm afraid) ... Everything's gone now that used to give the area a good vibe, all the pubs are shut and the high street is almost non existent. Pretty sad times really.
@@saronasam I think you're forgetting that every person in the mill towns, of every race, became victims when Thatcher killed the industries. Don't fight the migrants who came and worked alongside you, blame those in power who caused the decline.
You should try Grantham mate. There’s a few decent pubs and it’s a town that has had decades of decline. It’s quite historic with Margret Thatcher and Issac Newton but in terms of shops it’s almost like a ghost town now, but it’s really decent for a drink.
I enjoyed this. If you were to find yourself in Durham in the Queen Victoria you would find the landlord knows everyone drinking in his pub (I toddled in the other day) - plenty of regulars to strike up a conversation with. Didn't Dewsbury used to have a little pub on the train station platform? That's about all I remember of Dewsbury.
I love stout including Guinness but I pretty much gave up drinking it in pubs many years ago due to the inconsistent quality - clearly evidenced here. So hats off to you although I don't feel like celebrating the point. Can't remember the name of it sorry as over a decade ago and out of my immediate area but there was a nice pub in or near Todmorden I called in out walking that served perfect Guinness and the landlord was a great welcoming type of fella, actually asked me if I wanted a top up and did so for nothing. Hebden Bridge not far away was also a place with a few good pubs back then don't know if that is still the case. They have good trade as that region has a few outdoor organizations and literary associations etc although they can be a bit too arty-posh crowd for some folk. There's always summat as they say in Yorkshire. You did the right thing leaving that pint on the table outside. Anybody thinking of ordering the same drink and seeing that would immediately be suspicious. The glass collector would also get the message without you having to cause a scene (although quite reasonable to have done so - I mean that wouldn't happen in Ireland right). 'Chemically.' Sounds like they had not rinsed the tubes out after sterilising. Probably a fresh keg that would have cleared after the first couple of pulls. You were just unlucky enough to land with the bad timing somewhere with a poor cellarman (showing my age) or today's equivalent. Looking at it the other way: if they'd taken better care of liquid refreshment and customer think of the great free publicity... . Thing is these days too many of them DO NOT.
I work away a lot and when "touring" the pubs the best ones I find are the roughest looking ones. Its like the exterior building looks bad but the locals are always interested in what I'm doing here and strike up a convo. It's all about picking a decent spot to sit when you're on your own, not in the way but not in a corner. Another great video!
Fab video , shame you didn't tell them that the Guinness was i drinkable. But I know what you mean sometimes it's hard to be borthered to kick up a stink ! Can't believe how beer prices vary so much in the uk , we're lucky to get a pint under £6.50 here Bath , 😢
Great vid Danny! God that looked an awful place… & if you can’t even get a decent pint then there’s not much to shout home about really🤷🏻♂️ look forward to Ireland proper Guinness👊
Cheers enjoyed that,.. 4:18 yeah ridiculous,.. I noticed on 'Wandering Turnips' clips,.. the large amount of lamps burning away in closed down properties.
I was born in Dewsbury as were most of my family. Back in the day it was great town and many decent pubs to choose from. These days it is literally dying, if not already dead, as your vid shows and I seldom visit the place. Very rarely. As others have commented though there is still one great pub still in town namely the West Riding which is part of the railway station.
Both pubs look good got some cheap and cheerful pubs like that near me but problem is with Guinness it needs to be bang on to be good, these type of pubs everyone’s on Carling or fosters Nice video tho mate keep it up👊🏼
That looked grim mate , not many laughs in that place , West Cumbria is the place to visit next , down to earth people up there just don't forget to wear body armour 🤣👍
Even the most multicultural, accepting and forward thinking places around the world that are enjoying economic growth have their little shit-hole corners. As well do places that are predominantly one culture but have very differing sides of the same towns / cities on economic levels. You can’t just blame everything on things “you’re not allowed to say”. It’s a lazy way out and a very contagious thought process by people who would rather wallow and blame about why they don’t have things as opposed to rolling their sleeves up and striving for even a little bit better or being adventurous enough to see what’s beyond the borders of their particular shit town and help themselves level up on the open mindedness front.
I really fancy a couple of luke warm pints, a cheeky vape and I’ve got the urge to drop a couple of ton at the bookies. Any recommendations of where would be a good place to go?
You should come to Burton on trent. Home of brewing. There used to be a pub on every corner but most have closed but we still have some good old boozers I could name 8-10 for you to try
@honestplaces if you ever do decide to , the tavern, the Devonshire, the royal oak, the anchor, the wygestson , the leopard or the navigation to name a few are old boozers. The royal oak in the town centre is one of the oldest pubs (its been open and closed and then opened a few times though) the tavern one of the better ones they have lots of local and independent brews. Oh and there's the Burton bridge brewery where they brew their own but it's a pub too. Plenty to explore some I've not been for years tbh but they never seem to change.
Also the reason we are a brewing town was down to the water thry used to use from the river trent it was good for brewing apparently. And it's where carling is made haha. Coors (Bass) and Marstons are the active brewerys we have with plenty of their sites to see in and around town
He should have taken it back into the Pub and asked the bar staff to taste it. I certainly would have done. Leaving it on a table outside, some lowlife would have drunk it.
This is because Dewsbury is under kirklees council. It's a poorer part of West Yorkshire. Lots of the shops has closed down. The outdoor market is pretty good and Cosmc Toys is an amazing shop.
yay - back to my home town - glad I left If you decide to return I have 2 tips. 1. Go to the cafe opposite the market. Called Mon Ami (I think), you walked past it in the video. No Guinness but a warm welcome and a cracking cup of tea. 2. Go to the pub at the train station. West Riding. Probably have Guinness, certainly have ales, again, good welcome, nice beers. Like the guy you spoke to said, I cannot believe Batley is now better than Dewsbury. Never saw that coming.
Dewsbury was a nice place in the 1970’s/ early 80’s. Now it’s the only place I know of where even McDonalds closed up! Shocking what’s happened to that town. There are a few nice pubs there though, particularly the one on the Railway station and there’s an Ossett Brewery one.
Oh please give it a break. The death of the high street and government underinvestment have affected towns badly all over the country. Yet you seem to be pinning the whole blame on a certain breed of new people. There are countless examples like Dewsbury without the 'certain breed' you're talking about all suffering these same problems.
There isn't one "native British" person that isn't hard working, law abiding socially responsible is there? All the litter, fly tipping, cars on blocks and junk filled gardens, youths illegally riding motorbikes, speeding cars, drug dealing, anti social behaviour. It's all foreigners in innit.
I've had nights out in both Castleford and Pontefract back in 2000 when I was at uni in Sheffield and my housemate was from around Castleford so we went for a drink in both for a laugh. Both towns fecking rough as hell
Bargoed town centre in Wales is much the same. Once a thriving town called " The metropolis of the valleys", Bargoed is now a ghost town. Empty shops. High level of unemployment.
I agree. I'm nearly 73 and remember in the 50s & 60's when towns were bustling and shuttered up shops were hardly ever seen. No one in authority gives a sh*t these days and to be honest, I just don't go out to the town centre anymore. The plastic pubs and the plastic beer are not worth it and nobody wants to talk anyway...unless you are part of their clique, otherwise they just glance over to see if you have a few bob or might have a warrant card. Anyway's, I wish I could say something on the bright side, but it looks like were' stuck on the shite side. Look after yourself kiddo ; )
Think that was the grimmest one you have done, the first pub looked like it was stuck in the 80s, the next one looked nice but obviously don't take care of their ales and from what I could see no decent cider only wrongbow, hope your next Guinness is on form, keep up the good work
Exactly, he would do us a better service to go to these places and preach from the New Testament then maybe he will have some idea of his Elbow from another part of his Anatomy.
Dunno about that!, I was at a cider house and I said to a Muslim bloke that wasn't it against his religion to drink alcohol, his reply was that it was ok as cider is classed as fruit juice, ok when it suits them.
@@honestplaces cool, man. Yeah, I love drinking in Dublin as there are so many good pubs within walking distance of each other. North of the river is considered a lot more dodgy than south, so might be better for content lol. In terms of pubs, Bowes is my fave pub for Guinness, The Gravediggers is close behind, but is considered the Mecca with locals, and Tom Kennedy's provides a good mix of dinge and decent Guinness.
There are so many of these "wander about the UK" channels, all likely inspired from Bald and Bankrupt / Backpacker Ben - but they all have one thing in common, the same comments about specific demographics / races "ruining" in Britain.
I live in Thornhill just above Dewsbury, the first thing I noticed watching this is your comment on the Wonky Y. Yes its meant to be like that, but a few weeks ago it just disappeared altogether! Says everything you need to know about Dewsbur
My home town and you were very kind tbh!! We actually call it Doomsbury now!! You should head to Ponte, great day out there. Love the channel, keep up the good work lad 🍻 If you ever do Ossett let me know and I'll buy you a beer
when I used to live a few miles up the road (Cleckheaton, 10-15 years ago) the best pub in Dewsbury was the West Riding Refreshment Rooms at the railway station, which even had an entrance on one of the platforms the other two major stations between Leeds and Manchester, Huddersfield and Stalybridge, also have pubs built into their stations
Why presumably? Everyman and his dog vapes, they're open for a reason, I don't vape, but I call in one once every fortnight to do some work and the amount of people who come in and buy them are easily 10-20 people in about a half hour span.
@@ThePs3fanboi It is well known that such businesses are often used in connection with money laundering. The police have admitted they do not investigate as it takes too much time. Hence the vape shops, Turkish barbers, African cosmetics and wig 'installers' in abundance in every main street. Observation shows many of these shops rarely have customers.......

The “I’m not looking after you again tonight” part…. Fair play to ya pal … love the insight to all the pubs 👌🏻
Some lovely buildings in fairness... Great vid as always mate.
The buildings are amazing, built in the victorian era when Dewsbury had a place in the world.
As an Irish man watching this it's so sad to see the decline of so many towns in England...but believe me it's happening here in Eire also!
Shame init pal 👍
Another Irishman here. It’s awful what’s happening all round the country. Towns just turning into dumps, shuttered shops everywhere, councils broke, but why are they broke? We pay enough for services don’t we? The councils like the useless government are only good at wasting money. And in ireland with their traitorous government are busy destroying what was once a beautiful happy country where people actually liked each other. Every where we look it’s just bad news.
No one here in Ireland calls it "Eire".

Seen you today mate as our lass needed to go specsavers in town, didn’t want to be on cam but there is a good pub in dewsbury it’s the west riding at the train station give it a try if you pass back through with the added bonus you don’t need to go to the centre ha.
Ah should of said hello. Yeh i hear that is the only good joint in town 👍
Really is mate and to be fair I avoid Dewsbury town centre at all costs and you nailed it in your video I just drive to Leeds and park at trinity as it’s just got it all going on.
LOL @ "tell you what, if you like gambling and vaping......" the tourist board of Dewsbury are already thinking of adding that to their leaflets
🤣🤣 proper family day out at the vape shoos
That blokes face at 10.38 was hilarious when you said 'this trips been awful'. The West Riding is a great pub but I don't know of any others.
Back in the 70's I lived three or four miles away, there was a cinema, and my girlfriends posh mum used to shop at Marks and Sparks. There was a pub on the Batley Road which was the only place locally that sold Old Peculiar. In 1982, our kid's stag night started in Batley and crawled it's way towards Dewsbury, whilst the hen night ran the opposite way. When the two met up he and his fiancée buggered off at about 9:00 pm! We skipped a few pubs and spent the rest of the night drinking Old Peculiar. The next time I was there was in 2006, I went there to register Betty's death and it was pretty dire, I didn't go there again until 2015 after dad died to get a copy of his will certified. By then it had really hit rock bottom. Batley and Morley seem to have improved a little since the 70s, and maybe Wakefield too, but Dewsbury is dreadful.
Really like your videos mate. Love the interactions with locals and heading to areas most people wouldn't dream of.
Only place left to drink in Dewsbury in the day is the West Riding at the train station. Proper ale, proper beer and proper people. Everywhere else is just scummy.
I went to the art school in Batley in the mid 70s but lived off Halifax Rd in Dewsbury. The Victorian houses were beautiful and the little pub called the Bath was a lovely and friendly place run by a fantastic couple called Bill and Edith
Sound s like they didn't clean out the pipes with that Guiness. Had a mate who used to clean the pipes, he always drank bottled beer.
I know the taste of pipe cleaning fluid too well in these establishments. No excuse for it.
Great video....😂 you wanted the dingiest place and boy did you get it 🤣👍
Deffo up there of dingiest places 🤣 cheers pal
😂😂
As usual mate another great video keep them coming some of these places are real eye openers
Cheers mate ! 👍🍺
I grew up here in the 90s, left around 2001. This is utterly heartbreaking. Town was absolutely buzzing back then. Looks a right ghost town now
i'm still here, it's very dead, absolutely nothing to do
@@Joel-xb3mxI'm Batley, it's pretty much the same here, it was buzzing from Batley to Dewsbury some 20 years ago the place was alive....it's dead now, it's a shame, but it's a sign of the times we live in.

It’s another Kirklees Council run area.
I got scared when a ninja suddenly appeared. They should have been fearing for their life
They are the Deathblow to most towns - Cleckheaton is next on the list of council thinking .
BE very aware, coming to a town near you, multi culturalism at its best, so sad,this is happening in every region of the 🇬🇧
Show an early sneak peak of this video to Enoch Powell or Oswald Mosley and their supporters while they were still politicians..
Everyone keeps talking about the pub attached to Dewsbury station. It looks quaint from outside with the Virginia creeper covering the entire pub. Yes, it's got a good reputation for a great range of pints etc. The only thing that bowled me over when I went in there one afternoon was the overwhelming smell of body odour. The bar staff mustn't like opening the windows for fresh air! I've never been in since!
Strange smell when you enter the West Riding of mucky bodies. Quite strong on Saturday afternoon 20/07/24. My colleague said they had not been in for years and still smells the same.
What are the odds?
He's stood there asking the gentleman in the hat why the place is going down hill just as a fully clad letterbox walks past in the background 😂
Yes, I almost choked on my cup of tea, that couldn’t have been timed better, absolutely hilarious!
It's the same with all channels like this. But I'm not surprised he doesn't answer because if he was honest he'd be immediately demonetized and likely have is channel canned.

Yeh mate. Booming town to nothing. Shamr init
@@honestplaces yeah there even used to be a little fair there, I used to live going to the market as a kid my nan used to take me all the time

Cheers pal. Still yet to do Edinburgh
There's a beautiful sincerity to your vids, man. Great job 👏

I was born in Dewsbury in 1973, grew up in Mirfield and moved to the South East of England in 1998. I will NOT be back. What a depressing shit hole it is now. BTW Ravensthorpe between Dewsbury and Mirfield is like a demilitarised zone.
Christ mate, you're a glutton for punishment
You should have a pop back up to Mirfield for a visit, it's still nice and going strong. Plenty of pubs still open and new places opening over the years.
I lived in Ravensthorpe and Dewsbury Moor from the 1970's to 2000 then moved away for a while. Moved back to Ravensthorpe in 2006 it had changed so much. East European gangs, prostitution, money laundering take aways, terrible traffic. I now live in Somerset, its a different world, I'm s happy
Demilitarised zone lol, I spat my cuppa tea out with laughter reading that! And you are right…it is….
Same, born Dewsbury 1973, I live in Batley, have all my life and it's marginally better than Dewsbury right now (...but not by much I'm afraid) ...
Everything's gone now that used to give the area a good vibe, all the pubs are shut and the high street is almost non existent.
Pretty sad times really.
I used to spend most Saturday nights there late 80’s and early 90’s. Used to be a great night. Sad to see it now…
Was even better in the sixties, before the invasion..
@@saronasam I think you're forgetting that every person in the mill towns, of every race, became victims when Thatcher killed the industries. Don't fight the migrants who came and worked alongside you, blame those in power who caused the decline.
Always love your videos mate! Thanks for all your work on these 👍🏼👍🏼
You should try Grantham mate. There’s a few decent pubs and it’s a town that has had decades of decline. It’s quite historic with Margret Thatcher and Issac Newton but in terms of shops it’s almost like a ghost town now, but it’s really decent for a drink.
I enjoyed this.
If you were to find yourself in Durham in the Queen Victoria you would find the landlord knows everyone drinking in his pub (I toddled in the other day) - plenty of regulars to strike up a conversation with.
Didn't Dewsbury used to have a little pub on the train station platform? That's about all I remember of Dewsbury.
It’s still there. It’s not great by any stretch of the imagination but it’s the best one there now.
It could be worse, I live in Heckmondwike now😂
If it's still open, the best pub in Dewsbury is at the train station.
I love stout including Guinness but I pretty much gave up drinking it in pubs many years ago due to the inconsistent quality - clearly evidenced here. So hats off to you although I don't feel like celebrating the point.
Can't remember the name of it sorry as over a decade ago and out of my immediate area but there was a nice pub in or near Todmorden I called in out walking that served perfect Guinness and the landlord was a great welcoming type of fella, actually asked me if I wanted a top up and did so for nothing. Hebden Bridge not far away was also a place with a few good pubs back then don't know if that is still the case. They have good trade as that region has a few outdoor organizations and literary associations etc although they can be a bit too arty-posh crowd for some folk. There's always summat as they say in Yorkshire.
You did the right thing leaving that pint on the table outside. Anybody thinking of ordering the same drink and seeing that would immediately be suspicious. The glass collector would also get the message without you having to cause a scene (although quite reasonable to have done so - I mean that wouldn't happen in Ireland right). 'Chemically.' Sounds like they had not rinsed the tubes out after sterilising. Probably a fresh keg that would have cleared after the first couple of pulls. You were just unlucky enough to land with the bad timing somewhere with a poor cellarman (showing my age) or today's equivalent. Looking at it the other way: if they'd taken better care of liquid refreshment and customer think of the great free publicity... . Thing is these days too many of them DO NOT.
Sounds like they don't clean the pipes frequently, its not the Guinness at fault, just dirty pipes.
Angin
Just found your site,great content, will be binge watching all 😊
Sorry just saw my poor grammar , I was typing while walking 😂 , I meant "undrinkable" and " here in bath "
I got ya mate 🤣

Just settled down with a beer after work and heres the main man on you tube 🍺🍺 love the videos mate 👍👍
Main man! 🤣 i'll take that though. Cheers pal 👍
I work away a lot and when "touring" the pubs the best ones I find are the roughest looking ones. Its like the exterior building looks bad but the locals are always interested in what I'm doing here and strike up a convo. It's all about picking a decent spot to sit when you're on your own, not in the way but not in a corner. Another great video!
100 right mate. Spot on 👍
Fab video , shame you didn't tell them that the Guinness was i drinkable. But I know what you mean sometimes it's hard to be borthered to kick up a stink ! Can't believe how beer prices vary so much in the uk , we're lucky to get a pint under £6.50 here Bath , 😢
Yeh i couldn't be bothered. Hate faff. Yeh it's only get pricier the more south you get! 👍🍺
Just a reminder nothing is returning to how it was.... brutal times coming. Sadly we are at an end of a cycle
Fuck it. Might as well throw a 7
Great vid Danny! God that looked an awful place… & if you can’t even get a decent pint then there’s not much to shout home about really🤷🏻♂️ look forward to Ireland proper Guinness👊

I was born in Dewsbury as were most of my family. Back in the day it was great town and many decent pubs to choose from. These days it is literally dying, if not already dead, as your vid shows and I seldom visit the place. Very rarely. As others have commented though there is still one great pub still in town namely the West Riding which is part of the railway station.
Both pubs look good got some cheap and cheerful pubs like that near me but problem is with Guinness it needs to be bang on to be good, these type of pubs everyone’s on Carling or fosters
Nice video tho mate keep it up👊🏼
Just came across your channel. Interesting viewing these, hope you enjoyed Glasgow 👍🏻

Good video. Why do you go to these places during the day. And not the night when the most troubles happened.?
Work nights most of the time. But i like to chat to locals during the day, most of the times at night there aren't any or they are far too drunk 🤣
@honestplaces thanks for saying that. Wish you well .And thanks for taking time to answer my question.
Its become far too dangerous for many normal people now.
Lol, it’s obvious why these towns are going down hill. Your just not allowed to say why 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you Mr Blair

F off racist turds.
What's Blair got to do with it , dickhead ??
Even the most multicultural, accepting and forward thinking places around the world that are enjoying economic growth have their little shit-hole corners.
As well do places that are predominantly one culture but have very differing sides of the same towns / cities on economic levels.
You can’t just blame everything on things “you’re not allowed to say”. It’s a lazy way out and a very contagious thought process by people who would rather wallow and blame about why they don’t have things as opposed to rolling their sleeves up and striving for even a little bit better or being adventurous enough to see what’s beyond the borders of their particular shit town and help themselves level up on the open mindedness front.
@RichardHodgson-wb9lk Can't have the " good " places without the " bad ".
I really fancy a couple of luke warm pints, a cheeky vape and I’ve got the urge to drop a couple of ton at the bookies. Any recommendations of where would be a good place to go?
didnt know that they have walking post letter box,s
West Riding Refreshment Rooms on the station is a fantastic pub
Another great video Danny. I've developed a strange morbid fascination with shit holes since I started watching your videos!!🤣 Keep 'em coming pal.
You should come to Burton on trent. Home of brewing. There used to be a pub on every corner but most have closed but we still have some good old boozers I could name 8-10 for you to try
Never thought of going to Burton 🤔🍺
@honestplaces if you ever do decide to , the tavern, the Devonshire, the royal oak, the anchor, the wygestson , the leopard or the navigation to name a few are old boozers. The royal oak in the town centre is one of the oldest pubs (its been open and closed and then opened a few times though) the tavern one of the better ones they have lots of local and independent brews. Oh and there's the Burton bridge brewery where they brew their own but it's a pub too. Plenty to explore some I've not been for years tbh but they never seem to change.
Also the reason we are a brewing town was down to the water thry used to use from the river trent it was good for brewing apparently. And it's where carling is made haha. Coors (Bass) and Marstons are the active brewerys we have with plenty of their sites to see in and around town
So what do you think the problem is as Darth Vader's daughter walks past. I wonder???

Enjoy watching these vids. As I live in a place where you can't get Guiness, I was salivating at the one you left.
He should have taken it back into the Pub and asked the bar staff to taste it. I certainly would have done. Leaving it on a table outside, some lowlife would have drunk it.
Couldn’t live there, more dreadful than most. Great vid again, mate
Isn't great pal. Cheers mate 👍🍺
This is because Dewsbury is under kirklees council. It's a poorer part of West Yorkshire. Lots of the shops has closed down. The outdoor market is pretty good and Cosmc Toys is an amazing shop.
yay - back to my home town - glad I left
If you decide to return I have 2 tips.
1. Go to the cafe opposite the market. Called Mon Ami (I think), you walked past it in the video. No Guinness but a warm welcome and a cracking cup of tea.
2. Go to the pub at the train station. West Riding. Probably have Guinness, certainly have ales, again, good welcome, nice beers.
Like the guy you spoke to said, I cannot believe Batley is now better than Dewsbury. Never saw that coming.
Aint much for ya anymore pal. Good choice
Glad I left for South Africa.

Dewsbury was a nice place in the 1970’s/ early 80’s.
Now it’s the only place I know of where even McDonalds closed up!
Shocking what’s happened to that town.
There are a few nice pubs there though, particularly the one on the Railway station and there’s an Ossett Brewery one.
First guy didn’t want to say why it really went down hill but we all know. A certain breed of people moved in.
Oh please give it a break. The death of the high street and government underinvestment have affected towns badly all over the country. Yet you seem to be pinning the whole blame on a certain breed of new people. There are countless examples like Dewsbury without the 'certain breed' you're talking about all suffering these same problems.
It's the muslim's fault. Import the 3rd world, become the 3rd world and that isn't changing until we do something about it. Send them back!

Dewsbury isn't as rundown and depressing as Castleford, it's a complete shithole, closely followed by Batley.
Castleford is in a league of its own. Utterly depressing. Pontefract is probably on par though. Another shithole in close proximity.

Bargoed town centre in Wales is much the same. Once a thriving town called " The metropolis of the valleys", Bargoed is now a ghost town. Empty shops. High level of unemployment.
Same happening all over the UK were slipping into the cess pit
I agree. I'm nearly 73 and remember in the 50s & 60's when towns were bustling and shuttered up shops were hardly ever seen. No one in authority gives a sh*t these days and to be honest, I just don't go out to the town centre anymore. The plastic pubs and the plastic beer are not worth it and nobody wants to talk anyway...unless you are part of their clique, otherwise they just glance over to see if you have a few bob or might have a warrant card. Anyway's, I wish I could say something on the bright side, but it looks like were' stuck on the shite side. Look after yourself kiddo ; )

when I used to live a few miles up the road (Cleckheaton, 10-15 years ago) the best pub in Dewsbury was the West Riding Refreshment Rooms at the railway station, which even had an entrance on one of the platforms

Presumably the vape shops are like Turkish barbers and candy shops i,e, money laundering premises.
Why presumably? Everyman and his dog vapes, they're open for a reason, I don't vape, but I call in one once every fortnight to do some work and the amount of people who come in and buy them are easily 10-20 people in about a half hour span.
@@ThePs3fanboi
It is well known that such businesses are often used in connection with money laundering. The police have admitted they do not investigate as it takes too much time. Hence the vape shops, Turkish barbers, African cosmetics and wig 'installers' in abundance in every main street. Observation shows many of these shops rarely have customers.......
