You know what I like the most about you Joel?
Unlike many reaction channels on here, as soon as you could you got out there and created content.
Rather than sit in the USA pretending to understand they know what's going on.
For the last 3 summers you've lived it and that's a massive difference.
That’s one thing that started to bug me about many British reaction channels. It’s like they don’t really have an interest, just realised people were getting lots of views so jumped on board. Joel probably seen that too, but at least he actually shows a genuine interest!
I cant imagine a bigger culture shock for an American guy than a daytrip to Scarbados!
Good point, Well said. 😂
Well, there's always Skegness.....
@@johndoyle6622 He has just seen a resort that is ok. Don`t ruin it for him.

naaah Imagine Grimsby or something lol
Joel does Britain proper. He's an absolute ambassador. Good job pal.
For a moment I was horrified that, at Scarborough, you weren't going to take your shoes and socks off and go for a 'paddle' and get some sand between your toes, but oh my, thankfully, thankfully in the end you did *smiles* Honestly on a good summer's day the UK has so much to offer. I hope you realised too that the lettering in seaside rock goes all the way through - at no matter what point you break it, the lettering will read exactly the same.
You should visit Whitby, the setting for Bram Stoker’s Dracula. It’s a very scenic and full of history, plus the North Yorkshire moorland is beautiful.
Plus Robin Hoods Bay. Both are gorgeous.
My sister married an English man from Norfolk. My family hired a minibus to travel down for the wedding from Scotland, 8 hrs drive down. The wedding venue took place in a big country house which was used to film Dads army & Hello hello . We visited Great Yarmouth & the beach was amazing as as Norfolk broads my dad hired a boat it was brilliant & beautiful. 🏴🇬🇧
Scarborough, is what the song 'Scarborough Fair' was written about. This was a huge trading fair that was held for over 500 years and attracted people from all over Europe. The song was made world famous by the American duo Simon and Garfunkle in the 1960s after they made a recording of it.
As someone who grew up in Scarborough in the 80s/90s, this was a great video. It's changed a lot...and weirdly, I'll be working in the area for a short while, in a few days time.
The seaside is very much a part of the British Culture and for many people who go on a day out to the seaside it will bring back happy childhood memories, especially building sand castles on the beach with a bucket and spade. Scarborough is good 👍
You allow a place to speak, and you don't speak over it. Great videos. ❤
So good to see you back with the York Radio crew.
Oohhhhhh that's who he's with!! I've been following all his travel vids and I thought I'd missed something
Great to see you over here again Joel, keep up the brilliant vlogs, they're a ray of sunshine
Thank you Joel, you have a huggable personality and face.
All the rock will be handmade to get the lettering in. My hometown had a rock shop where you could see them making it. They fold in different layers and roll it up... quite a craft really
Hi from the UK, I am new here and live in Scarborough. ❤❤❤ I hope you enjoyed the experience here. ❤
I love Scarborough a proper English sea Side they even have donkeys on the beach to give children a ride. The one thing I can say about Joel’s video there is nothing staged it’s great keep going Joel ❤
Not to be a Debbie downer. Riding donkeys is not something to be celebrated or encouraged. It’s not fair on the donkeys. Just something to consider 🙏🏻🙂
@@MissBeeGood I was not celebrating it I was just saying
@@MissBeeGood no ride no donkeys.
I was taking my two sisters and Bro in Laws _(over from Canada)_ to a pub in London a couple of days ago and they had 'Cockle Popcorn' on the food menu as a 'snack' item... Absolutely brilliant ! Yum! Yum! 😋👍
Hi Joel, from South Yorkshire. You look very comfortable on our side of the pond and on that side of the mike. Great to see you.
Wow... Scarborough... With living up in Orkney I've not been there for about 20 years. It's not changed much if I'm being honest. It was fantastic seeing a place I used to go to on holiday as a child with my parents over 40 years ago. Thank you for showing this video Joel, brought back a lot of memories of when my parents were alive back in the day. You've absolutely crammed so much into your vacation in the UK. Looking forward to seeing the next video. PS. Loving the flat cap look on the beach. 🤣
Such a typical English seaside that hasn't changed much for decades. Cracking time by the look of it. The only thing missing was a fishing trip.
I was going to say Coke and Hookers but each to their own.
I live in Liverpool, went to Scarborough and Whitby 2 months ago for the first time, it was amazing, great weather, both places were buzzing with tourists and locals, food was great (fish n chips). Whitby was gorgeous, I loved all the old buildings and the Abbey, defo goin back next summer. 👍
That's great. If you can, try and get to Sandsend and Robin Hood's Bay, they're fantastic little coastal villages nearby. 😊

Thanks for the Scarborough post. I lived in York and Scarborough was our go to seaside trip. Happy days
Ahhhhhh after all this time of following you from the beginning. I can’t believe you’re in my hometown of Scarborough and you pronounced it the correct way scar burr ah. An it wasn’t raining. So thrilled an proud. Though I’d be too shy to say hello- next time I’ll come say hi. xx You are definitely an honorary Brit hope you got some Yorkshire tea.
Great video, you definitely got the essence of Scarborough. For a different seaside holiday experience, next time try Northumberland coast, a little further north. Quieter, wilder, more peaceful & you really should experience Holy Island if you can, only accessible by a causeway at low tide. Anyway, you make great videos, been watching for ages and you’ve come a long way. Well done you, you’re a natural at this
The knotted handkerchief so reminded me of my grandad on our annual Sunday School trips to the beach. Rocking the 1950's!. I must confess to a mild obsession with the "2p Falls" in the amusement arcades - cannot resist all the cheap trinkets one can acquire.
Well done for throwing yourself into everything a British beach holiday has to offer (even the sea)! I see that you are now definitely an honorary member of the York radio team and have to take part in all their shenanigans!
As a Southerner, it was good to see what Scarborough is like as I've nber been. Glad you got to experience a British seaside. The weather has been kind to you! Hope everyone has been hospitable and glad to see you reunited with your friends from the radio!
I think that’s the norm, southerners going to local seaside towns and northerners doing the same. What did you think of it ?
Nice to see you experience a typical British seaside resort on a sunny day and do all the stuff that makes a grand day out.
I'm a Londoner, but I spent time in Scarborough as a kid and I go back every now and then. It's a great seaside resort. I've never been on the mini railway or to Seaworld, though. My favourite place to hang out in Scarborough is Peaseholm Park.
Scarborough is quite the experience! I went there for the first time in the summer of 1995, from Norway with a boy brigade I was a member of (they're only a thing in our city Bergen and we sometimes travel to international cities together such as Berlin and Paris) and I have so many good memories from that summer in Scarborough! Seeing the beach promenade and all the arcades makes all those memories come back for sure! The second time I visited Scarborough was back in 2010 during a university school trip to York and we spent a day travelling to Scarborough and the memories from 1995 came back and all the fun stuff we did in that city. I'd love to visit again sometime in the future and it looks like you enjoyed yourself too! :)
Shout out to Scarborough… I love it.. can’t beat Yorkshire and the Yorkshire people ❤❤❤❤❤
When I first started watching your videos, I couldn’t have imagined seeing you down the A64 heading to Scarbados ☀️ 🏖️ :)
Joel, I suggest you move to York for a year and work for KO1 radio - you're a natural mate & would be great for your media career :)
You are so kind in your commentary about the UK. Always respectful. I have watched so many of your videos and you never fail to impress me. Loved the Liverpool one too. Keep up the great work.
I just love this !! You’re in Scarborough…. I love Scarborough!! ❤
I just love your travel videos. Could watch them all day.!
Brilliant video and i'm glad the sun came out for you.
YO1 seems to have become a "must visit" whenever you are in the UK. Those guys really look after you Joel
Great video! Im going to Scarborough next Easter (Hopefully). I'm glad you enjoy coming to our country 👍
I’m new to your channel & love your videos. It’s great to see you mixing with all the locals and doing real stuff like the fish & chips & open top buses etc. Great presenter too !!!
Love your reference to Scarborough as Scarbados 👍👏 Top man
Love how you always see the radio guys
Welcome to the seaside holidays of our childhoods. Windbreaks, freezing water but u had to get in for a swim. So glad you got together with that station again 😊. Proper seaside spot that… looked like u enjoyed it. That’s a local, UK holiday. Just needed donkey rides and u had the full set! X
It's my favourite seaside place to visit!! I'm 33 but feel like a kid when I see the sea x ❤
You have been very fortunate with the weather on your travels. It has been very changeable with some parts of the country having very bleak days.
I am happy that it stayed pleasant for you. The weather can make or break your experience especially when you are out and about.
Nice, the guys at YO1 always make you feel at home. Its obvious they have taken you to their hearts.
Your fish 'n chip lunch didn't seem to impress? You're becoming a connoisseur already.
Great seeing you enjoying your experiences. Looking forward to the next video.😊
Another one with the "bad weather" report. When and where? It's been a fabulous summer up here in Yorkshire(!).
What you talking about it's always like that
I lived in Scarborough for 4 yrs loved it , I am now living and hour away on the Coast, lovely to see you on the North East Coast
hahahaah loved the four knotted hanky on the head. literally looked like a seaside postcard! lol nice work.
Scarbados. lol. Really glad you had what seems like a fairly decent British seaside experience. You've even got a hanky on your head! Perfect!
You have just relived my childhood. Family friend "Aunty Elise" lived in Scarborough, and every other year we would go for a week's holiday. The beach and waters weren't clean then, a sewer pipe ran into it, and you would end up swimming with all sorts! The Sea Life centre used to have a giant, ugly fish in the corner of the room, and we would visit him every time. The small gauge railway and the shop at the station. The vincular railway down to the shore. All you needed to do was fall in Scarborough Mere, like I did. From Yorkshire
It's nice drive from York to Scarborough. Surprised you didn't visit Scarborough castle
I live near Aberdeen a nd have swum in the North Sea, a tad chilly. Billy Connely does a bit on swimming in the North Sea where he talks about the guys flying offshore with survival suits on as the water is sooooo cold and yet parents make their kids go swimming in it. Looks like you had fun though. Us Brits are a made of stern stuff. 🙈🙈🏴🏴
I’m from Liverpool and we often visit Scarborough so how funny that you should pop up in the TH-cam suggestions visiting Liverpool, then I look at what else you’ve done and you are literally in Scarborough. When was this filmed? We were there the first weekend in August 👍🏻
I smile through all your videos
I have had a few good holidays in Scarborough I love the simplicity of the place
Mad seeing an American I watch on TH-cam visiting my old haunts in scarborough - used to spend many a college day in those arcades - the old out of date space invaders machines used to be free play.
Not been to Scarborough since I was a kid. Good to see it hasn’t changed much.
We northerners really love our seaside holidays. You’ll have to try Blackpool some time on the NW coast. Six miles of sandy beaches all the fun of the fair, a massive waterpark, rollercoaster theme park, so many attractions and the iconic Blackpool Tower, the British Eiffel Tower. Great night life and cheap accommodation too. We even have recycling bins for all those bucket and spades.
I love Scarborough. Me and my friend stay a weekend about 3 times a year. It has a lot of history
We are very proud of Yorkshire, the friendliness, the down to earth compassionate people, the diversity and mix of cultures, food, music, football and of course the great landscape. It is well known as God's Own County 🧡
*Country... The English Texas😂
“We”? …you speak for yourself.
I find you pompous
@@antonycharnock2993nope, your so wrong. You should do a little research before calling people out on something you know nothing about.
"We also have county's in the uk. A county is a geographic region of a country used for administrative or other purposes in some nations. The term is derived from the Old French comté denoting a jurisdiction under the sovereignty of a count or a viscount"
Your welcome.... The British Welsh man 😘
Lots of riots up north though recently .
@@DavidHeafield Where are you from then lol
This was so nostalgic for me. I used to go there a lot as a kid and i remember getting that miniature train from Peasholm Park to the sealife centre and passing all the rides. Did you have a walk around the oriental gardens in the Peasholm?
My kids call the summit ‘Ninjago Temple’
Love Scarborough [and Bridlington]. Used to go there a lot as a teenager on my motorbike.
Used to live near Beverley [so not far away].
Used to drive trains there too when I was in the 'Scarborough Link' but got moved up to the 'Hull Link' a year later. Great times!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Pleased to see you made it to our little backwater 😂 I live in the next town down the coast but have worked in Scarborough for most of the last 25 years. My lunchtime walk goes past the little train station so surprised I didn't see myself in the background 😂
I was in Scarborough two weeks ago, seeing family a cousin and just general pubbing. There was a group of people on the beach protesting fishing 😂
Well the Scarborough weather was Fair. It is always a good day out, especially if the sun shines. On the edge of the North Yorks Moors too, so good walking area. Also the coast path is spectacular.
Enjoyed this post Joel , it's nice to see the weather is still holding up for you , contrary to popular belief we do see some sunshine now and again 😂. I might be wrong but you seem to be more comfortable on this visit than previous times , I expect it's due to the fact that you are getting to know our quirky little island a bit better. Nice to also see that you realise many of our lovely areas to visit lay outside of our capital London , unlike many Americans that visit our country. Keep up the great work.
Im a very proud Yorkshireman and its great to see you in Gods Own Country, Joel! So glad youre enjoying your trip as much as we enjoy your videos!
I wasn`t aware he went to Nottingham.
@@legend9335 no ..he said Gods own Country, as in Yorkshire
....not Gods sweaty armpit, i would ask if you can read but your probably from Nottingham, so answer is likely no 😂
@TonySpike It was a joke, twot. Most Yorkshire people are up their back ends. I have justice proved it.
This is brilliant Joel wearing a flat cap, im glad you have experienced Yorkshire hospitality and culture. Im biased of course. Looking forward to the next upload
Next visit to YO1 they will get him a Whippet.
Originally from lincolshire
Visited scarbrough back in august after almost a decade.
Such a good seaside town.
Aye lad, had a proper day out ont beach..the smells of salty air, mixed with vinegar and gully sh%#..wonderful..welcome back buddy..
Loved your Scarborough video.
What a great video JPS, nice to see all the guys from York Radio.
This is great! I'm so pleased you were able to pal-up with your radio friends 🙂
My goodness Joel, you’ve been here in Scarborough and we didn’t even know!. By the way, that’s the North Sea and even in the hottest summer weather you need to count your toes when you come out!.
Hope you enjoyed your time here and in Yorkshire!. All the best.
No way !!! This is my town , I've been watching your videos for a while now , if I'd known I'd have bought you a pint 😂
My home town! Mum still lives there!! . Glad you got there
Great video man, been following your England Journey. at 5:17 you speak about it being a Wednesday at 2pm and so busy on the beach. I hate to say it mate but welcome to a culture that has much better work/life balance with paid holidays etc.
My wife’s family are from Scarborough. Happy childhood memories. A great place for a day trip to a traditional seaside town. So pleased you visited
Lived in Scarborough for 2 years while I was a uni student! Great times!!
You can see Rock being made on YT. The traditional mint with the pink coating is the best. IMO. Happy travels.
You were incredibly lucky with the weather. Its been awful. The best way to eat rock is by leaving it on a bookshelf for six months first. It goes nice and soft.
Heathen. 😢
Really rogue trip. Love it 🇺🇸🇬🇧
I grew up in Scarborough. You should have been to the Castle. But great you went there. The Sea Life Centre rescues seals etc. When you eat outdoors you are encouraging the gulls to steal food. In the past we only ever ate food in the cafes etc.
Great videos man. Really glad you're enjoying England. If you get the chance, I'd highly recommend going to Northumberland. Beautiful mate
Great to see you back in Yorkshire, Joel: you are an honorary Yorkshireman because you understand us! My mum’s father was from Scarborough and always reminded us that it was the first English seaside resort, created in the 18th Century as a Spa. Also, that the first German shells to land on English soil in 1914 hit Scarborough and other North Eastern ports before anyone realised what was happening; the German cruisers hit the Grand Hotel, the Castle and other landmarks. It caused such anger among the British people that the government produced thousands of recruitment posters to encourage men to join the army and ‘Avenge Scarborough!’
It looks like your day was calmer!😅
I thought Brighton was the first resort..royalty built the Brighton Pavilion..
I googled it to check and it says people began to visit Scarborough in numbers for the Spa waters around 1660 which was well before Brighton developed as a resort in the next century, so there we are.
@@PhilipTait-oi2hm they began to visit Brighton for the sea waters.. and beach.,
A great day at the seaside, good to see you with the radio crew again 👍
Spent a lot of time in Scarborough as a kid living in York. Used to be a huge theme park on the north bay with one of the tallest water slides but sadly no more for many years.
Wow, I used to ride that miniature train back in the 1960's 👍
Scarborough my happy place love it
Joel, you need to see how a stick of rock is made. There are places around the country where this is possible, Blackpool for one. Or you can see the process on a youtube video. Great to see you enjoying the sunshine. Have fun & Keep Reacting!
It's the north sea , much warmer waters in Dorset , Devon and Cornwall 👍🏼
One of Scarborough's oddest claims to fame is that the train station has the world's longest railway bench. At 139 metres in length, it is also a Grade II listed structure. Well worth a visit!😊
I did a lot of my growing up in Scarborough! Beautiful place!!
PROPER FISH AND CHIPS AND ROCK!! WOW! Northern thing for sure!
I hope you liked my hometown jps. I never thought I'd see you here on your travels. It's a pity you didn't get to the castle, the views from there are staggering.
Lovely to see you in Scarborough. As a Yorkshire lass spent many happy childhood holidays there! I remember the underground amusements. Took my granddaughter last summer for a few days.
Do enjoy theses Y01 vids you do, they show you an older outlook on British life which is very interesting to me. I last went to Scarborough in the 70s and loved it the miniature boats having battles on a lake i remember well. Also rock is gorgeous it can come in a chewy version to and those flavours are amazing but its been a while since ive had some.
You should have asked Zoltar to make you "Big" Scarborough is OK but to get the real Yorkshire coast experience you need to go to Whitby & Robin Hoods Bay. Filey is also nice if you want a quieter resort with a huge beach.
I live in Scarborough and have enjoyed watching your videos over the past year! Crazy that you made it all the way here! Hit me up if you fancy grabbing a pint
So glad to see an American so invested in our culture! I love your videos Joel! It’s also pretty cool we have the same name haha 🤙🏻 you should come down and visit Canterbury at some point it’s a beautiful city with stunning architecture.
Amazing town of real beauty, fun fact, my grandfather used to fish for tuna out of Scarborough before WWII, with American big game fisherman, some as big as 850lbs ... check it out?
