As a recent dog owner I can confirm that conversation happens A LOT. You feel politely obliged to ask the question back, even if you're not really interested. My first albums (on tape) were Bananarama, Greatest Hits and the London Boys, Twelve Commandments of Dance. Pretty cool right.
Ha. I think this is the first time I have heard the London Boys mentioned in about 30 years. I am googling them straight away to see what they are up to.
Cool video. All that mud gives me anxiety. Well done for staying vertical. One of the first albums I remember owning was Michael Jackson’s Bad. I used to listen to it on my Polly Pocket cassette player lol
I saw a video where a young person was talking about cassettes as though they were really cool. They were rubbish. I spent hours rewinding spools of tape that got mangled and the sound quality was awful.
My first ever record was 'Memory' by Elaine Paige from Cats The Musical. This is catastrophically embarrassing, but my Granny bought it because she loved cats. Not to worry, I used to play it at 33 rpm so it sounded like Harry Secombe.
I wasn’t cool enough for my mum to buy me jeans with cartoons on them. And I also desperately wanted a Def Leppard patch. You are the cool version of my childhood.
I got my Mum to sow the Saxon logo at the top of my jacket and I sowedd the back patch and badges on my self, sleeveless denim with a leather jacket underneath. As for Adam Ant, I too was obsessed, not only because they had two drummers. Always love your videos.
When I walked through the on the South Downs Way I thought it was absolutely magical. I sat down and had my lunch as I was exhausted but when I got up I didn't feel slightly tired any more. Must have been the power of the ring.
I'm too cool to have liked un-cool bands back in the day, BUT, the first CD I bought was Eric Idol doing the One Foot in the Grave theme tune. It had a hard house version on it and it was a banger xx
First record I bought was Puppy Love by Donny Osmond. Aged 9. The secret to being a Cool Dude is not trying to be a Cool Dude. But then, you would know this, as the Grand Master of Cool Dudes.
I suppose for the human it is a bit like being the spouse of someone famous, getting interrupted by strangers talking about the person/dog you are with.
So, embarrassing bands eh? I was absolutely obsessed with Aqua when I was young, and I think I may be one of the only people who bought (and still remember) their second album, Aquarius. I have no regrets though, a lot of the tracks are bangers. Also fair play on Roxette, they are evergreen.
I've been down alot of rabbit holes lately ! Great video, respect to you for doing it on a rubbish day . I would have told them to berger off at that price ! I use to like Howard Jones, to my eternal shame.

Spider. The lead guitarist went off to be a banker. I have their program. And sewed the logo into my denim cut-off, which I wore over my Leather. Then I wore it and went to Donnington Monsters of Rock and instantly got lost from my friends all day. It was '84. I was 15. Ps. Are any bands embarrassing or are just we? Love the walks. You carry on you Crazy Diamond. x Shrouded Hand pointed me to you. I love what you do.
There were some gorgeous shots here Marek, despite the British weather. Great work. My first single was the 12" extended version of System Addict by Five Star, and I'm not embarrassed by that at all. Classic.
As a child (in the seventies) I had two singles by Little Jimmy Osmond... Back in the eighties , I spent part of Christmas Day in the house of Vivien Campbell- my gf at the time knew his brother. I strummed his spotty guitar. I wasn't into Def Leopard, so I wasn't star struck. BTW, if you'd went round the RIGHT way, you'd not have went past that tape and missed out a great part of the walk. Other Marek went home early. I'll get through this Cool Dudes Walking Club box set quite quick, I think. Oh yes.

Otherwise I think my first single was the Postman Pay theme tune which had a banging B-side featuring the Handyman singing 'Leave It To Me'.

If it's not windy I do enjoy a rainy walk, the rain can sometimes sting your face if it's too windy. In parallel universe Marek's walk I think he was walking the right way and also stopped for a wee but the parallel universe couple saw his willy which was even more embarrassing for him than your experience. When it comes to extra bacon, I think 50p max is acceptable, you can buy a whole packet of bacon for about 2 quid.
@@cdwc I wouldn't know because I was still dead then but in 1970 a packet of bacon probably cost the the equivalent of 50p and I bet there was someone complaining that and extra rasher of bacon in their fry up at the local caff cost them 8p.
at the moment you were saying "I can't stop thinking about the parallel universe" I was thinking "I can't stop thinking about the 'Strictly Ballroom' music playing in the background"
@@cdwc mostly I was trying to remember which bit of the film it's in. It's one of the competitions. Gonna have to go look now. That came out when I worked in video stores & we had a great connection at Miramax. she used to send me tons of 'arthouse' screeners.
Nice one Number 1. Although it looks like you may have needed a canoe for some of those paths, all things considered that looked like an excellent walk. Most embarrassing albums I owned was "To the Extreme" by Vanilla Ice and "The Sign" by Ace of Base on cassette tape. Good times.
Don't have an embarrassing band, but I did sew a patch on to the back of my coat when I was about 13, and did some grafiti on it after I saw it on some film or other and thought it looked cool. Unfortunately I didn't know about fabric paint and did it in felt pen, and as soon as it got washed it went back to a blank bit of white t shirt. Then my older brother's friend wrote gaybod on it in permanent marker. That didn't wash off so easily. Had to ask my mum to unpick her handywork again.
also I had an Osmond Brothers lunch box when I started school. Purple, of course. mildly embarrassing. I was 6 & Merrill was my fav. I thought Donny was silly even then. I suppose some people might consider my love of Bay City Rollers silly but I don't at all. and didn't then. couldn't get my mum to sew plaid onto any of my jeans tho.
Hello Marek,ooof!That was a muddy one! I'm going to be donning my new red wellies tomorrow and going for a little explore around a local nature reserve. We may even be able to drag the teenager out with us too.😏 I was a bit worried for you at the start of your walk when you ventured down that murdery subway but I'm glad your walk got loads prettier. £15 for a burger! Christ on a bike!🤨I don't think an eatery should charge anymore than 50p for a slice of bacon. Right, I'd better get some kip. Stay cool. 🙃
@@cdwc Oh I forgot your other question about embarrassing music. The first single I ever owned (on vinyl) was Do the Bartman. Then not long after that, I bought the picture disc(which I've still got and often wonder how much it's worth) of Take that's single Do what you like. I liked Take that for about a week and then I came to my senses. By the time they were huge, I was sitting about in my room being a miserable indie kid. 😂By the way, your first singles were well catchy! 😁
When I saw that Alice in Wonderland sculpture all I saw was two girls who'd pissed themselves, and a rabbit playing in their stream. I don't remember that in the book but it's a long time since I last read it. Also those frog signs are legit, and my friend's mum was even a member of her local 'frog watch' group that go out at key times of year to help frogs cross the road so they don't get squashed. I'm not sure how you're supposed to see and avoid frogs on the road if you're driving but I guess it's nice have a heads up!
Ha ha. That really made me laugh. ‘Pissy rabbit’ would have probably made a better book. Meanwhile I googled toad crossings. It is incredible they have their own lollipop ladies.
Big LOL on the boring dog conversation. Particularly bad when there are posh women carrying small dogs I find. My first album was both Super Trouper by ABBA & Zenyatta Mondatta by The Police at Christmas. I was expecting to enjoy the latter more than the former but that wasn’t the case. Thanks for the hat. I love the colour and design. It’s serving me well in the last knockings of winter. Bloody burgers!!! Cheers!
Excellent I am glad the hat has worked out well. I am a big fan of the Police and am currently massacring several ABBA songs whilst learning the keyboard.
All the embarrassing bands I listened to as a kid I still rock out to every morning. Anything beyond the 80's early 90's doesn't cut it for me. Dude dude dude let's get a membership pack for my daughter Poppy. She's only 1 but she can walk like fuch. Is that the youngest member? I'll email the details in the morning in off to sleep. Stay cool
You were on my Manor! Glad you enjoyed it. St Martha's is a stunning location in the summer, and I seem to remember there are some very cool gravestones there. Some good loops around the sandy parts, to avoid the mud. First single was Too Shy by Kajagoogoo. Showing my age, Cool Dude. Next time I'll give you some good pub suggestions, but can't promise cheaper bacon!
The Marek who went the right way on the path, as well as saving the world, had a burger without bacon (just as Mr Hamburger ordained!) and thus avoided the need to cry about the price of bacon or destroy the universe...presumably because he harboured a growing grudge about the bacon issue. I bought Shadapa Ya Face by Joe Dolce as a teenager, thus keeping Vienna Ultravox from its rightful number one spot. Although I did buy Vienna as well. So...maybe Midge Ure will find it in his heart to forgive me.
As a human to a dog, I can confirm the 'what breed is he?' conversation happens very regularly, during which I have to correct them that 'he' is a 'she' and then explain what breeds she is. To which everyone says 'ooooh, never heard of that'. And then I say she's deaf, and the other person invariably says something about how their dog never listens either, to which I have to explain that my dog is actually deaf! And if anyone is interested, she's a Llewellin Setter crossed with a Border Collie. Her 'designer breed' name would be a Borsetter.
I haven't got a dog because I'm not keen on the idea of picking up turds every day then strolling around with a warm bag of it until I find a bin (or handy tree to hang it on, that's the procedure isn't it?) I had a Pet Shop Boys album in my early teens, I remember you taking the piss out of me (fair enough!)
What a grime walk . Not watched it all yet but what ! Give up now. £15 for a burger Shocking . Best bit the trees . Favourite vinyl record Bye bye baby Bay City Rollers .
You can't beat a good pine forest I think. As for burgers, they all seem to have jumped in price from £12.50 to £15.00 in the last year. I expect the pubs are all trying to claw their money back through expensive bacon.
@@cdwc I might just start making up a new fake breed for each walk "oh, thank you, he's a Rusty Prince Albert" I couldn't see any walks around Devon.. I can't promise any Reptilian Overlords but there's plenty of walks to keep a cool dude busy down here
Nice walk Cool Dude, shame about the muddiness. I also liked Adam and the Ants when I was at Primary School. I then progressed to Sigue Sigue Sputnik which is most embarrassing, though both bands had 2 drummers and I cannot think of another pop band that did. £2 for a slice of bacon! Maybe keep a spare bag of Frazzles in your rucksack for when you need a bit of a 'bacon fix'.
There is a theory that just thinking of a parallel universe brings said universe into existence. You just created one where Marek found treasure and got beamed up. Fudge everything else I want to know what happened to him next
Thinking of embarrassing bands I have a few I went through grew up with a linkin park phase and other edgy boy bands like that then went through a Russian singer phase ruslana shes really not my thing but I have a few songs many I have forgotten and I'm thankful of that
I had not heard of Ruslana before. I just watched a video of Wild Dances, it must have been hard dancing in all that leather. I think she is Ukrainian.
I loved Status Quo as a 10 year old, because I'd got my first Walkman and chose their Greatest Hits at random from a bargain bin. A girl at school pointed at me and made fun of me, because I said I liked them and not Wham! 😒 I'm obviously completely over it now 🙃
A good point cool dude. I think I had forgotten about the parallel world by the point I passed the barrier, but if I had gone the correct way I would not have gone down that path and been stuck. So it turned out that 'wrong way piss hedge Marek was the winner after all.'
I too know the perils of peeing in privacy, only for a couple (always more than one person) of people to emerge from nowhere! Same again when farting and nobody's about. Next thing I know, someone appears who's about to step in to it! If I fart in the woods and there's no one else around to hear the sound... Will anyone else smell it? They bloody well will!! When I was 15/16, it was all about Limp Bizkit!!! Didn't discover Def Leppard for another ten years.
Extra bacon should never cost £2... 50p at most. Maybe it's all part of that walking backwards causality. As far as bad music goes, Funkytown by Lipps, Inc was a guilty pleasure.
@@cdwc I know, they were an endangered species and had to cross the road to get to the pond where they spawned. Obviously ‘endangered species’ and ‘cross the road’ are not phrases that should belong in the same sentence!
I saw the Frog/Toad crossing near Leighton Buzzard a few weeks ago. Just figured Mr Toad was out smashing up cars like a mentalist again. Are you not more concerned about the Parallel Marek that got caught with his thingy out in the bushes and is now locked up for flashing an old couple?
Yes the Go Pro is pretty good so far but has glitched a few times which makes me worry long term. I just take the battery out and it works again. I got the media mod so I could plug my microphones in. Nice one
Great walk cool dude!. Any extra on a burger or breakfast should be about a pand. However, our local greedy cafe owner charges £2.40 for an extra sausage!.. outrageous 🧐 and not cool, cool dude.
£2.40 a sausage is mental. Mind you o just got a lager shandy in Faversham and it was £5.35 more expensive than my friends pint of ale which was £4.50. Mental
16 pounds for a burger seems a bit excessive. I’m an American and I know that things are really expensive in London but I thought it was better in the rest of the country? Better start saving up now for my trip to the UK in a few years I guess lol
My father in law ashes were scattered all over the walk up and around St Martha’s Church back in early November. There is a reasonable chance you now have a little bit of him on you. Do you feel better at maths? Or like you want to start an allotment? If you feel a sudden urge to start collecting wood I’m sorry but you might be possessed by my father in law. He was a nice man so I’m sure it will be okay. Don’t panic.
@@cdwc It was nice to see that walk from a different set of eyes. The bench on the corner of the church was his parents special spot. I’ll always think of them sitting there together, ‘twas kinda sweet and romantic. Love a good bench. Hey finally I have done a walk you have done lol. Maybe it should be in the hand book. Spotto your father in laws ashes for 50 points. Sighs…
Thoroughly enjoyed this video, as always, and wish it had been longer. Congrats on finishing the walk despite the pants weather and muddy conditions. I'll certainly add this walk to my "to do" list. Looking back at dodgy bands/musicians I was into Howard Jones too and bought New Song on 12" as it came with a free promo t-shirt, although I don't recall every wearing it. Star cool, all
I was just listening to it on TH-cam, and then I googled him and wondered what it would be like to play the same songs for 40 years and that is all anyone wanted to hear.
I believe I have always had impeccable taste in music, but I will admit to thinking a bow tie was an appropriate addition to a batwing jumper and stonewash denim combo, unacceptable. Why not get a dog and have fun with the predictable breed conversations, like Dave Alan did with the stories he told about his missing finger.
You never see many bow ties any more except on waiters. My grandad wore a tie everyday and ironed trousers. I think that the war generation were pretty smart. In 30 years it will just be old people on tracksuits which makes me sad.

Walking through some of the most lovely landscape on the walk, talking about dickheads and their dog conversations.This is why we love you Marek.
Dog owners must hate the nosey dog stroker conversations right?
As a recent dog owner I can confirm that conversation happens A LOT. You feel politely obliged to ask the question back, even if you're not really interested.

My first album was KC and the Sunshine Band. Wow, I'm old. That church was beautiful and the views were great even on a rainy day.
The Church really was spectacular. I think if it had been a nice day it would have been a lot busier so it was nice to have a wander around by myself.
That looks a lovely walk! Will try that one!! We was into Thompson twins as a band! But they are still cool 😎
Oh my god, so glad you came to my home town!
It was a great walk. I really like the bit down by the theatre.

I almost wish I had got the £2 bacon, just to see how much you get for that price. I might change my channel name to 'Expensive Bacon.'
@@cdwc Oh I forgot your other question about embarrassing music. The first single I ever owned (on vinyl) was Do the Bartman. Then not long after that, I bought the picture disc(which I've still got and often wonder how much it's worth) of Take that's single Do what you like. I liked Take that for about a week and then I came to my senses. By the time they were huge, I was sitting about in my room being a miserable indie kid. 😂By the way, your first singles were well catchy! 😁
When I saw that Alice in Wonderland sculpture all I saw was two girls who'd pissed themselves, and a rabbit playing in their stream. I don't remember that in the book but it's a long time since I last read it. Also those frog signs are legit, and my friend's mum was even a member of her local 'frog watch' group that go out at key times of year to help frogs cross the road so they don't get squashed. I'm not sure how you're supposed to see and avoid frogs on the road if you're driving but I guess it's nice have a heads up!
Ha ha. That really made me laugh. ‘Pissy rabbit’ would have probably made a better book.
Meanwhile I googled toad crossings. It is incredible they have their own lollipop ladies.
@@cdwc Ha! Pissy Rabbit - Peter's incontinent cousin
Big LOL on the boring dog conversation. Particularly bad when there are posh women carrying small dogs I find. My first album was both Super Trouper by ABBA & Zenyatta Mondatta by The Police at Christmas. I was expecting to enjoy the latter more than the former but that wasn’t the case. Thanks for the hat. I love the colour and design. It’s serving me well in the last knockings of winter. Bloody burgers!!! Cheers!
Excellent I am glad the hat has worked out well. I am a big fan of the Police and am currently massacring several ABBA songs whilst learning the keyboard.
All the embarrassing bands I listened to as a kid I still rock out to every morning. Anything beyond the 80's early 90's doesn't cut it for me.
Dude dude dude let's get a membership pack for my daughter Poppy. She's only 1 but she can walk like fuch.
Is that the youngest member?
I'll email the details in the morning in off to sleep. Stay cool
I think 1 would be the new youngest member. I am like you, I don't listen to anything after about 95.
You were on my Manor! Glad you enjoyed it. St Martha's is a stunning location in the summer, and I seem to remember there are some very cool gravestones there. Some good loops around the sandy parts, to avoid the mud. First single was Too Shy by Kajagoogoo. Showing my age, Cool Dude. Next time I'll give you some good pub suggestions, but can't promise cheaper bacon!
Guildford home of the world's most expensive bacon. They'll be putting it up to £2.50 soon. Those two pigs in that field will be worth millions.
The Marek who went the right way on the path, as well as saving the world, had a burger without bacon (just as Mr Hamburger ordained!) and thus avoided the need to cry about the price of bacon or destroy the universe...presumably because he harboured a growing grudge about the bacon issue.
I bought Shadapa Ya Face by Joe Dolce as a teenager, thus keeping Vienna Ultravox from its rightful number one spot. Although I did buy Vienna as well. So...maybe Midge Ure will find it in his heart to forgive me.
I think Shadapa Ya Face was also my favourite song when I was about four. Meanwhile I am learning to play Vienna on my keyboard.
You would have met Marek from the other dimention coming the other day... but he was doing a wee in a bush. 🤣
At least parallel world Marek managed to hide himself better than me.
@@cdwc 🤣
My first two albums was Bon Jovi, Slippery When Wet and Michael Jackson, BAD
I remember listening to my brother's cassette of Bon Jovi's New Jersey and thinking 'This is must be greatest collection of songs ever created.'
#731 here great video as ever I'd say 50p for bacon from a burger van going up to a pound at a restaurant
Yes this sounds reasonable. Good bacon pricing.
As a human to a dog, I can confirm the 'what breed is he?' conversation happens very regularly, during which I have to correct them that 'he' is a 'she' and then explain what breeds she is. To which everyone says 'ooooh, never heard of that'. And then I say she's deaf, and the other person invariably says something about how their dog never listens either, to which I have to explain that my dog is actually deaf! And if anyone is interested, she's a Llewellin Setter crossed with a Border Collie. Her 'designer breed' name would be a Borsetter.
Unfortunately my first single was mouldy old dough. Cooler dudes second one. Life on mars. My fav band was human league and I even had the haircut.
I haven't got a dog because I'm not keen on the idea of picking up turds every day then strolling around with a warm bag of it until I find a bin (or handy tree to hang it on, that's the procedure isn't it?)
I had a Pet Shop Boys album in my early teens, I remember you taking the piss out of me (fair enough!)
I can't remember doing that. Ha.
I always wonder if there are people who like the feeling of warm dogshit in their hands.
@@cdwc I'm pretty sure I've heard of people who put the bag in their coat pocket to keep their hands warm in winter...
Does the cassette single of Rolf Harris' "Stairway to Heaven" count as embarrassing? I've owned that since middle school. Cracking walking video dude.
I just had to google him to see if he was still in prison. I wonder if he sang it with the other prisoners.
I think my most embarrassing band that I was in to Marek was Smokie. Although I liked their music my friends thought I was mad.
What a grime walk . Not watched it all yet but what ! Give up now. £15 for a burger Shocking . Best bit the trees . Favourite vinyl record Bye bye baby Bay City Rollers .
You can't beat a good pine forest I think. As for burgers, they all seem to have jumped in price from £12.50 to £15.00 in the last year. I expect the pubs are all trying to claw their money back through expensive bacon.
A decent sized walk includes at least 4 explanations of my Dogs breed
Man, I expect even your dog gets annoyed.
@@cdwc I might just start making up a new fake breed for each walk "oh, thank you, he's a Rusty Prince Albert"
I couldn't see any walks around Devon.. I can't promise any Reptilian Overlords but there's plenty of walks to keep a cool dude busy down here
Lol, we are going to see def leopard in two weeks 😂
Def Leppard are the greatest. I might listen to 'Hysteria' now.
is that marek larwood from impractical jokers ! it is isnt it lol ,i thought i was tripping .
Yes but also you are tripping.
You think your first records weren’t cool. Mine was the frog chorus 😱
Ha. Parents should intervene when their children by their first record so they don’t have to suffer the trauma of bad first records in later life.
Nice walk Cool Dude, shame about the muddiness. I also liked Adam and the Ants when I was at Primary School. I then progressed to Sigue Sigue Sputnik which is most embarrassing, though both bands had 2 drummers and I cannot think of another pop band that did. £2 for a slice of bacon! Maybe keep a spare bag of Frazzles in your rucksack for when you need a bit of a 'bacon fix'.
I haven’t had a pack of Frazzles in about a year. I knew something was missing in my life. I wonder if they have gone up to £2.
There is a theory that just thinking of a parallel universe brings said universe into existence. You just created one where Marek found treasure and got beamed up.
Fudge everything else I want to know what happened to him next
He is making spacewalking videos in a parallel dimension.
Thinking of embarrassing bands I have a few I went through grew up with a linkin park phase and other edgy boy bands like that then went through a Russian singer phase ruslana shes really not my thing but I have a few songs many I have forgotten and I'm thankful of that
I had not heard of Ruslana before. I just watched a video of Wild Dances, it must have been hard dancing in all that leather. I think she is Ukrainian.
I loved Status Quo as a 10 year old, because I'd got my first Walkman and chose their Greatest Hits at random from a bargain bin. A girl at school pointed at me and made fun of me, because I said I liked them and not Wham! 😒 I'm obviously completely over it now 🙃
Wonder if any trees would have blocked your path if you had gone the other way?????
A good point cool dude. I think I had forgotten about the parallel world by the point I passed the barrier, but if I had gone the correct way I would not have gone down that path and been stuck. So it turned out that 'wrong way piss hedge Marek was the winner after all.'
I too know the perils of peeing in privacy, only for a couple (always more than one person) of people to emerge from nowhere! Same again when farting and nobody's about. Next thing I know, someone appears who's about to step in to it!
If I fart in the woods and there's no one else around to hear the sound... Will anyone else smell it? They bloody well will!!
When I was 15/16, it was all about Limp Bizkit!!! Didn't discover Def Leppard for another ten years.
I know all about the peeing perils but I have never farted in public.
I think I stopped following music after about 95. Ha.
Nice walk. Are you going to go back in the summer? How many points if we spot you on a walk? 😂
I am sure I will do another Guildford walk in better conditions. Bald man is one point in the Spotter’s Handbook
Extra bacon should never cost £2... 50p at most. Maybe it's all part of that walking backwards causality. As far as bad music goes, Funkytown by Lipps, Inc was a guilty pleasure.
I just watched this video of Lipps Inc performing. Pretty good still I reckon. th-cam.com/video/PqiZ_gryYUQ/w-d-xo.html
One slice of bacon should be 5 cents
I think it should be part of the burger price. I hate all the upselling nonsense that we never used to have.
@@cdwc I agree
That’s a toad crossing sign, there used to be one near me for Natterjack toads but now they’re gone…..the toads and the signs 🙁
Oh no. Poor frogs and toads.
@@cdwc I know, they were an endangered species and had to cross the road to get to the pond where they spawned. Obviously ‘endangered species’ and ‘cross the road’ are not phrases that should belong in the same sentence!
I saw the Frog/Toad crossing near Leighton Buzzard a few weeks ago. Just figured Mr Toad was out smashing up cars like a mentalist again.
Are you not more concerned about the Parallel Marek that got caught with his thingy out in the bushes and is now locked up for flashing an old couple?
I must let parallel Marek live his own life and hope he has the skills to escape.
@@cdwc #PrayForParallelMarek
Does parallel Marek upload videos as well? I’d sub him too probably.
Also, you are making me want to buy a GoPro…
Yes the Go Pro is pretty good so far but has glitched a few times which makes me worry long term. I just take the battery out and it works again. I got the media mod so I could plug my microphones in. Nice one
Great walk cool dude!.
Any extra on a burger or breakfast should be about a pand. However, our local greedy cafe owner charges £2.40 for an extra sausage!.. outrageous 🧐 and not cool, cool dude.
£2.40 a sausage is mental. Mind you o just got a lager shandy in Faversham and it was £5.35 more expensive than my friends pint of ale which was £4.50. Mental
15 pounds for a burger!! Day light robbery!! 10 pounds at the most..also 50p to a pound for extra bacon...no more then that!
It's more than £15 most places now.
£2... 😮 You could buy a whole pack of bacon for that. 50p would be my limit.
I agree. Or a the choreographer who I once worked with for some TV pilot would say in a French accent "J'agree".
@@cdwc 😂😂
16 pounds for a burger seems a bit excessive. I’m an American and I know that things are really expensive in London but I thought it was better in the rest of the country? Better start saving up now for my trip to the UK in a few years I guess lol
Prices seem to have gone up since the pandemic unfortunately.
Is it cheating that I'm watching this in bed?
My father in law ashes were scattered all over the walk up and around St Martha’s Church back in early November. There is a reasonable chance you now have a little bit of him on you. Do you feel better at maths? Or like you want to start an allotment? If you feel a sudden urge to start collecting wood I’m sorry but you might be possessed by my father in law. He was a nice man so I’m sure it will be okay. Don’t panic.
I have always been quite good at Maths. Maybe now I will be a Maths genius.
I think it is a beautiful place to have your ashes scattered.
@@cdwc It was nice to see that walk from a different set of eyes. The bench on the corner of the church was his parents special spot. I’ll always think of them sitting there together, ‘twas kinda sweet and romantic. Love a good bench. Hey finally I have done a walk you have done lol. Maybe it should be in the hand book. Spotto your father in laws ashes for 50 points. Sighs…
£2 for one slice of bacon, porkinell, that’s not on Marek!
It may have been the greatest slice of bacon of all time. 🐽
Thoroughly enjoyed this video, as always, and wish it had been longer. Congrats on finishing the walk despite the pants weather and muddy conditions. I'll certainly add this walk to my "to do" list. Looking back at dodgy bands/musicians I was into Howard Jones too and bought New Song on 12" as it came with a free promo t-shirt, although I don't recall every wearing it. Star cool, all
I was just listening to it on TH-cam, and then I googled him and wondered what it would be like to play the same songs for 40 years and that is all anyone wanted to hear.
@@cdwc I wonder if Jed still accompanies HJ on stage, dancing alongside him?
£1 max for extra bacon. We all know that.
Exactly cool dude. 🐖
50 cents tops
I believe I have always had impeccable taste in music, but I will admit to thinking a bow tie was an appropriate addition to a batwing jumper and stonewash denim combo, unacceptable. Why not get a dog and have fun with the predictable breed conversations, like Dave Alan did with the stories he told about his missing finger.
You never see many bow ties any more except on waiters. My grandad wore a tie everyday and ironed trousers. I think that the war generation were pretty smart. In 30 years it will just be old people on tracksuits which makes me sad.
@@cdwc old people already wear tracksuits. Elton John is their ringleader . . .
If it's not dog owners that hang bags of shite on trees, then who is it?
Flying shitting hygiene dogs from space.
