Have just discovered your videos and it's great to see an unbiased view of American tourists in England and they are so much fun to watch. Can't wait for the next series. Hope you got home safely and that we'll see you again soon.
So glad you enjoy our little island. Those Corby trouser presses have been a feature of British hotels for decades, perfect for businessmen when you want your trousers looking smart for that big meeting the next day! Can't wait until you come back.
Thanks for sharing your trip and honest thoughts of England. It’s always good to hear personal views from our visitors, it’s great to hear different perspectives. Keep posting them !
I always enjoy watching your adventures and I'm so glad you both love the UK. This is one of my fave TH-cam channels: Informative and fun! Thanks, Guys!
I have visited a lot of places from your video’s in the UK and I am so glad to see you enjoying them as I have done. I love your positivity and pleasures that come through on your videos, hope to see you back here soon.
I don't know how you guys do it, but I love how you put the text of where you guys are mixed in with the scenery of every intro. Its the little things in life. :) All of that food looked absolutely delicious. Thanks for sharing the adventure! - Shane
One of the reasons that the Pinot Noir was so expensive is that 2005 was one of the best wine growing seasons in many a long year. Basically there was no bad French wine in 2005 and it is said that for the first time ever, in about another 30 years or so, 2005 might produce the perfect bottle of wine. Much of 2005 has yet to be released and what is on sale all tends to be very expensive..
That same 2005 vintage Romanee St Vivant Grand Cru are currently trading at more than £32,000 a bottle. I should have bought one or two bottles.. I know one thing is true - I would have bought and opened one and drunk it there and then.. I adore Pinot Noir.. It's soooo good - liquid velvet.
You guys are so funny! I don't know what I laughed harder at, Allison's description of wine or the chain tight rope, "did I make it"? And Eric's laugh that was contagious 😆
"Hi Susan. I was a bit bored so I dismantled my Corby Trouser Press. I can't put it back together again.Will that show up on my bill?" "It will? Ok bye"
Hey guys. Thanks for being you. I have a lot of love for you other travelers too. Hey, I don't have a pack on my back - I am not doing the adventure. What I like is that I think you are stable and not emotionally bubbly all the time. Sometimes the bubbles need to evaporate.
Glad you enjoyed england. I'm from West yorkshire....if you at chance you should visit the yorkshire dales and/or scotland....... it's fantastically beautiful
Sure you both would really enjoy the north of the UK. Lake District, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Are all great places to explore. Happy adventures.
Hi guys I've been a subscriber to your channel since about a week, and I really enjoy your vlogs :) I wish you a good trip back to the states and good luck with your further adventures :) Best, Phil
It is an amazing way to travel to Birmingham and other places too. The canals in the UK have a rich history and may be of interest to you the next time you visit, though boat hire can be expensive unless shared with others.
All the foods!! Hope you return soon, especially once spring’s here, so much colour to enjoy. Lincoln for a day trip, or how about Kent, the garden of England. Cheers adventurers!!🇬🇧
If you go back to Bath in the warmer months, definitely visit Prior Park, just above the city (easy to get to via the #1 bus)...excellent picnic opportunity.
Despite having a narrowboat and mooring in Gas St Basin so many times, I've never been in that restaurant, looks like I may have to give it a go next time I'm in the city, although it sounds quite loud in there.
I suggest Northumberland/Newcastle next, then pop back to the Lake District and maybe Scottish borders. Failing that. Do the Western Isles of Scotland, you will LOVE them.
You should go to barnsley next, it's got good food (1 star fish and chips) and lots of shops (pound world) and the people are really nice (the barnsley welcome is "piss off")
The temptation of the Corby Trouserpress, actually seen an old fella put a sharp crease in his Jeans rather fetchingly colour coordinated with his cravat.....what a smoothie! Safe journey home chums, when you return recommend a place of pure magic...."Puzzle Wood".
Keep coming back to England guys, love these videos but get yourselves to County Durham in my neck of the woods and maybe come and do an Interview on my Radio Show.😎
I'm happy both of you love England, I hope you do another meet up next time you're here. Did Allison drink too much champagne when she was swinging around on the chains :P
British canals were in a terrible mess after the second world war. A lot of the restoration was carried out by fresh water fishermen, members of local angling clubs who dredged stretches of canal in their area and re stocked them with fish. I think in the late 40s Birmingham Angling Association took a big company to court over a polution issue and won. This work was carried out, sometimes in the depth of winter and before the boating fraternity got going.
Can't believe you stayed in Pilsley and didn't check out Chatsworth and its ground, it is beautiful! Next time you're in the UK you should definitely check out Sheffield from the ground, and if you're heading a bit further north Newcastle and Northumberland are fantastic as well.
Eric, you really found yourself a keeper in Allison. I mean, she has everything one could wish for in a mate: that unsinkable sense of optimism (1:26); the way she takes the high road in a domestic squabble (5:13); a charming accent (5:49); those stylish pant creases behind the knee (6:10); an apparently eidetic memory (6:44); elegant dance moves (6:57); an impeccable knowledge of fine wines (7:33); such an angelic singing voice (10:28); and, of course, the poise and grace (10:33). Good job, man!
If you do come back to Northern England I'd suggest you visit the little city called Durham, which is famous for having one of the best universities in the country and we have the cathedral which has been used in many films including Harry Potter and the Recent avengers movie. We also have nice brewery's.
When you come back to the Uk try and hike up either the Skirrid or Sugar loaf mountains near Abergavenny both have incredible views. Or you could walk up the highest mountain in South Wales Pen-y-fan of which the views are insanely good. Hope this helps.
Birmingham looks good but that hotel looked awesome, going to book a weekend for me and the wife. Hope you get to visit Devon and the amazing Dartmoor soon.
There is not "one" Black Country accent. Yam Yam is solely Wolverhampton. People who are from Wolverhampton "proper" have the weakest accent, Wednesfield, Willenhall and Bilston are much stronger.
solatiumz I’d say Dudley is the strongest as that is proper Black Country- I live here, willenhall and wednesfield actually sound a bit posh to us, so does brum
solatiumz yeah definitely more than Wolverhampton but I don’t really count that as part of the Black Country it wasn’t originally was it? I don’t think it depends on what ‘class’ you’re in though, unless middle/upper class put on a posher accent because they feel it differentiates them from working class. Which is basically being a snob
Have just discovered your videos and it's great to see an unbiased view of American tourists in England and they are so much fun to watch. Can't wait for the next series. Hope you got home safely and that we'll see you again soon.
I was just as tickled laughing at you laughing at Allison trying to stay upright that was funny you two are a hoot
I have been watching all your England videos, so much fun, you are a pleasure to watch, thank you.
your travels in England are my favorite!
Nothing says Merry Christmas like a whole garden set ablaze!

The way you say "Basil" is frickin' hilarious.
Love England..West England so quaint..must see

Great videos guys! You can tell you put a lot of work into them. You guys drink like fish but are fun to watch 😀😂🤣
Omg. Allyson is so goofy singing partridge in a pear tree. I adore you guys. You’re so real. I love tagging along on your adventures.
Good video,lovely to see Allison in playful mood, Glad you enjoyed England
You do make me smile. Thanks. Your courage with some of the foods is amazing.
Looking forward to having you back in the UK. Youve shown me places ive never been to that are so close and i thank you both
Missing traveling so much so going back to watch yours just to give myself a little boost!
Watching all your videos in lockdown is nice to see normality.Love all the places you've been to . Excellent.😘
hope you had a nice Christmas at home with your families.
You guys are so funny! I don't know what I laughed harder at, Allison's description of wine or the chain tight rope, "did I make it"? And Eric's laugh that was contagious 😆
Super, super videos; lovely to see you having a great time and you've a great sense of homour.
"Hi Susan. I was a bit bored so I dismantled my Corby Trouser Press. I can't put it back together again.Will that show up on my bill?" "It will? Ok bye"
johnson787878 AHA
Classic partridge
Now that's funny,
Back of the net!
LMAO
Hotel du vin is my favourite place to go for a mid afternoon beverage, good choice!
Iv eaten in alot of places you have eaten at. Respect and ☮️ to the both of you. Brilliant show
So so glad you enjoyed Birmingham,
Can't believe you didn't visit us in Manchester or see Chester while you were in the North - maybe another time.
Thanks for all the wonderful videos.
Hey guys. Thanks for being you. I have a lot of love for you other travelers too. Hey, I don't have a pack on my back - I am not doing the adventure. What I like is that I think you are stable and not emotionally bubbly all the time. Sometimes the bubbles need to evaporate.
Glad you enjoyed england. I'm from West yorkshire....if you at chance you should visit the yorkshire dales and/or scotland....... it's fantastically beautiful
Enjoying your UK videos 3 years on. Did you visit my neck of the woods, Wiltshire? I think you would love it where I live.
I’m sad to see you go.I’ve really enjoyed your journey around England.
You have to visit Scotland - in particular the west side and the islands then up to the top along the north coast 500 route
Nice to see you both take care.
Sure you both would really enjoy the north of the UK. Lake District, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Are all great places to explore. Happy adventures.
Allison on the playground, thanks for putting that in made me laugh out loud on the train :-)
Very interesting video ,yes England is a lovely and beautiful country
Come back soon! More meet and greets please!
Hi guys I've been a subscriber to your channel since about a week, and I really enjoy your vlogs :) I wish you a good trip back to the states and good luck with your further adventures :)
Best, Phil
I've been to Birmingham a number of times on a canal boat, but I've never heard of the Canal House restaurant. Must look out for it next time.
We can highly recommend it! And what an amazing way to travel to Birmingham :)

when she walking around with food on her glasses hahaha

Aww this is awesome to see use guys enjoying my home town, glad you enjoyed it. :)
Subscribed for sure.
Old Eye Hospital! I had an operation there in 1989 😱😆😆.. Glad you had a good time in the UK and Birmingham in particular. All the best folks 👍
That kebap looked so good
I suggest Northumberland/Newcastle next, then pop back to the Lake District and maybe Scottish borders. Failing that. Do the Western Isles of Scotland, you will LOVE them.
i second this motion
Go on wor kid
Wow wine has grapes in it !!
You should go to barnsley next, it's got good food (1 star fish and chips) and lots of shops (pound world) and the people are really nice (the barnsley welcome is "piss off")
Lol
Entertainment by kipper Jackson 😁
I live in Birmingham didn't know any of this stuff haha cheers babs

Hey, come back soon. Enjoyed watching all your UK travels. Your vlogs always make me extremely hungry and thirsty.
You have to visit Bath. In fact, any of the 'spa' towns, ie: Leamington, in Warwickshire is a good place to start (Shakespeare county)
Keep coming back to England guys, love these videos but get yourselves to County Durham in my neck of the woods and maybe come and do an Interview on my Radio Show.😎
dogstaraycliffe Durham: yes. Spennymoor: Big no no!
WELL DONE YOU GUYS AND YOU WERE WELL DONE
I was a patient at the eye hospital when i was small, i guess around '79/'80. I wasn't aware it closed.
Thanks for the belly laughs!
MY BABIES R GOING TO MIAMI!
Sorry guys, in UK they called it the motorways instead of highways. I got quite a stare from the locals from using the word "highways". LOL.
I'm happy both of you love England, I hope you do another meet up next time you're here. Did Allison drink too much champagne when she was swinging around on the chains :P
bon voyage...you rock!!!
We have a work Christmas parties at the Hotel Du Vin, it’s a great place!
3:47 Those chips look really good!.

Love to follow your travels - cant wait to see you back in uk - do try to spend a bit more time in yorkshire - your last one was way too short 😎

We are sitting in the Bubble Lounge in the same seats while a man in a waistcoat prepares our drinks. Best wishes, Emily and Andrew

I think cheesecake is different in every country, we see so many types in UK and Europe we gave up expecting a particular style :)
You set off today from the village I live in :-):-)
You drove through Chesterfield and didn't grab a view of the crooked spire. :(
They did chesterfield a few months back, including the spire
you should have popped into the old joint stock for a pint
Love your videos, folks. I have to say though, I drive in the UK and our motorways in particular can be very stressful.
We had last years Xmas do at the canal house . W e had the hanging turkey .. Tasted better than it sounds washed down by a few bottles of red
Birmingham looks good but that hotel looked awesome, going to book a weekend for me and the wife. Hope you get to visit Devon and the amazing Dartmoor soon.
Ash Khagram where they stayed is really nice, and right in the centre of town. Brum really is now a brilliant place to visit
Carl Titmus it looks lush. My wife and daughter stayed at Clives place in Bath in May 2017, she was surprised to see it in there. 😀
pina noire in a brummie accent, excellent!!
The hotel du vin used to be the eye hospital
Alison is a natural climber ;)
Adrian Mills they are young and don't know much. Watch them -- they're surprised by everything! Still, that makes them charming and likable.
what microphone do you guys use? just the built in camera one?
Have you visited the lake district yet?
beavertown2006 Check out their channel, they have quite a few great videos of the Lake District, Yorkshire, areas like that. Well worth a look.
Great job, so funny too. Did I make it? Yes, you survived. haha
I love you guys!
They should have bought that Romanee St Vivant Grand Cru right then for £1200.. currently trading at more than £32,000 in 2020.
Having just got back from the Birmingham pantomime it would be great to have an American take on a British tradition.
Hahaha I used to work at The Canal House
As said by others - the Lake District is a must, then head into Scotland.
That young lady telling you about the wines sounded like she came from Dudley or Wolverhampton, she had a Black Country accent.
no, birmingham native here. thats a brummie accent, sounds like my niece. A yam yam accent is much, much stronger
There is not "one" Black Country accent. Yam Yam is solely Wolverhampton. People who are from Wolverhampton "proper" have the weakest accent, Wednesfield, Willenhall and Bilston are much stronger.
solatiumz I’d say Dudley is the strongest as that is proper Black Country- I live here, willenhall and wednesfield actually sound a bit posh to us, so does brum
Wednesfield is a lot stronger than Wolverhampton, but Dudley/Tipton etc can be a lot broader than Wednesfield, it depends on social standing.
solatiumz yeah definitely more than Wolverhampton but I don’t really count that as part of the Black Country it wasn’t originally was it? I don’t think it depends on what ‘class’ you’re in though, unless middle/upper class put on a posher accent because they feel it differentiates them from working class. Which is basically being a snob
Look up the German name for the trouser press - it's great!
Hosenpresse? What's great about that?
Every one I’ve seen says Hosenbugler on it. Just makes me giggle. But that’s my sense of humour. Different people, different senses of humour.
Ive put on another 11.3 stone since subscribing to your videos :p
Like British houses and bars, Americans after two drinks are "so cute". X
Where you guys travelling to after Miami?
I love how Allison pronounces Basil BAYSIL! BAYSIL Fawlty. BAYSIL!!
It's how it is pronounced in American English. British English pronounces it Bazel. Don't get me started on Eggplant. LOL :D
Did it take you long to learn how To drive in a different type of car than in the states? I love love love your videos
You should come to Wales next time you're over this way.
I know they did one in Cardiff and Swansea. being Welsh myself, I was so pleased they did.
great vid!
Fun fact: the Nobel Prize Winner Malala went to school right next door to the Botanical Gardens.
yep
