Total kudos 👏 for listening to the homeless. I work in supported housing but for folk half the age of those you interviewed. Thank you for giving them a voice and treating them with respect. Their back story is horrifically familiar to my ears. These are people worthy of our time, support and love. Thanks, James. 👌❤️
Just watched your Middlesbrough vlog , reckon your finest hour . The way you engaged local stories and people was moving, why are you not the head of bbc news reporting is beyond me you are part of a dying breed of journalism.
Great vlog James lots of different perspectives of Middlesbrough and you got to know about all of them. Well done James you’re doing a great job. Si thee. ❤
I live in Middlesbrough, have done for 49 years, and the crime is bad. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not bad. They don't report on it, they sweep it under the rug, and you discovered yourself what they are willing to do regarding the homeless. Imagine what they're willing to do regarding crime.
There are many reasons to follow your channel James, and many of them are fun, but the way you take the time to talk to people and more importantly allow them speak is definitely your strength. SO many people vlogging on here are all ego and eventually that gets dull to observe. Fair play to you James, I'm still following and still interested in what you have to say. Cheers - and Happy Belated birthday mate. 🙂
In 2002 the transporter bridge was involved in a story line on Auf Wiedersehen Pet, where they’d sold the bridge to America and it was going to be dismantled and moved to America. It caused an uproar as residents thought it was for real! My son also did a bungee jump off the top of the bridge, a present for his 21st birthday from his partner. We were both stood watching, not breathing. It’s called a Parmo not a Parma. It’s not to my taste, too fatty for me. It was always eaten at the end of a night out from a takeaway in the town centre.
That was great, James, and I'm glad you didn't get caught out at the Toby Carvery 😀 If you come back here, try St Cuthberts cemetery in Marton. You'll find some gems there... there's Agnes Spencer Whitfield buried there, the wife of the founder of a big department store... but knock on the vickers' door, and if you're lucky, you'll get a guided tour. Sorry, I dont do fb or instagram.
Ridley and Tony Scott went to school in Stockton on tees then went to Hartlepool college the opening sequence on Blade Runner is based on the Skyline of Teesside chemical/steel industry much of it long gone oh and the black stuff (Boys from the Black Stuff) was Made on Teesside and Redcar Beach was Dunkirk in Atonement
I remember travelling up and down the A1 and seeing ICI chemical comp,ex.All jobs gone now but pollution was awful.So many people with chest problems.Ridley Scott was influenced by those lights and flames in the dark…
Very interesting vlog mate, i do enjoy these ones, the history of the places and chats with the locals. Although it was interesting to see a Buckeys. Have a cracking birthday
That was a great vlog, you are very compassionate towards people and you seemed a bit down at the end. Your description of the birds on the lake was very funny, liked the statue of Brian Clough, we’ve got a great one of him in Nottingham.
There’s a stuffed dog in Whitworth museum near Rochdale that belonged to a great grandparent of mine and her husband (step great grandad) from the 1800’s I think 🤔 🌈✝️🕊️
Id luv to see you get a bigger tree in your van😂😂😂😂 now that😅 would be funny the fence round it cost more don't think they could afford the lights for fencing😅top stuff lad👌
Great vlog James. I really appreciate the research you do to make these vlogs more interesting. The segment with the homeless folk was really interesting hearing their stories . Never understood why these people are treated like second clas citizens. They are human beings who mostly through no fault of there own find themselves without a home . Happy birthday by the way.
I moved to peterlee in County Durham 42 yrs ago from Middlesbrough, it was lovely then, most my family still live there, it’s such a shame was lovely when I lived there, nothing the same anymore😞. Lv ur vlogs, they are amazing. Big hugs to u and Helen. Xxx
Great video James. Happy Birthday. That council which is predominantly Socialist should be ashamed of itself for hiding the homeless from MPs. What a society we live in. Keep the faith, stay safe and thanks.
If you do Hartlepool go on a weekend and to the Headland. Heugh battery is very interesting. Nice marina. Shopping centre nothing to write home about. Church gallery is nice. I tend to avoid boro unless it's to meet people in the Infant Hercules pub
We stayed in Hartlepool in Aug 2020 in an air BnB by the marina as it was the only place we could book at the time for my sons 21st. We saw porpoises in the sea when we arrived 😃 I also brought home four blue different sized bricks from the beach, that the sea had smoothed the edges of, to stack on top of one another as a momento 🤣😂 my son was having a bit of trouble with his girlfriend at the time, and lovely fella we got chatting to there said to my son “You’ve got this Oli” and later when we were in the apartment, we saw the fella again and he shouted up to my son “YOU’VE GOT THIS OLI” 🌈✝️🕊️😇😘🥰😍 x x x a lovely memory from there x My other info of Hartlepool is that as a child I had a friend called Sabashani and her family were from Shrilanka (spell check) originally, but had moved to our town from Hartlepool, which I remembered all my life for some reason! She had siblings called Venuka and Pratarp and I never forgot those names!
My dad worked for Dorman Long, which then became British Steel, all his working life. I was actually brought up in a little town called Dormanstown, just outside Redcar, which was a town built, for the workers of Dorman - Long over 100 years ago. I moved away from the North East 30 odd years ago and settled in the West Midlands.
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. One thing I did slightly cringe at was when you said " giveaways etc everyone else is doing it " . Don't take me as a complete spokesperson fir all but your popularity is an attraction to me because yoyre not like everyone else. So many on TH-cam seem to click into a regime of following sane treaded ground, it's done so many tines just a different face. I watch your stuff as it's different, you got a good following for your unique different take in things. Please Don't take this as a negative comment as it's the complete opposite, you got something unique, different and interesting abd to morph into a repetitively copied set up could mask your unique aspect. Please don't take this negativity as I'm probably a small minority but as I enjoy your stuff I had to speak up. Keep it up, thanks for the fun
Spot on ,great comment ,this unique formula is what we com for. I follow many needlework /craft videos, for some strange reason just lately many have started to morph .Really frustrating mimicking each others format ,right down to sewing the same design. Also they ALL now , have to show you their pet . I think did they always have the pet or did they rush out and borrow one for the video.? 😅
Your humor had me laughing out loud a few times in this vlog. Especially during your sponsored commercial. I enjoyed the story at the cemetery and all the nice people you met along the way.
Teesside's past is impressive, but its future is sad. I come from the next town, Stockton, and that had a great past, but it's a shadow of its former self. Half of it's demolished. Funny fact: The Transporter Bridge was in Auf Weidersein Pet getting taken to bits, and people saw pictures and complained 😂 Andy.
The Liverpool lads from the series ‘Boys from the Blackstuff’ in the 1980s weren’t to complimentary about Middlesbrough ! But what I find fascinating is the city accent has a Scouse twang. Spoke to quite a few residents over the years up there and they say it’s because so many Liverpool workers came up and worked in the city. So interesting.
The building behind Temenos in your film is Middlesbrough College - I worked for them for 20 years. Parmo, James, ParmO!! Good choice... The Twisted Lip. The fence arounf Cloughie is because it was getting vandalised. re: Transporter (Blue Dragonfly) - Terry Scott, the comedian, drove over the edge at the bridge and was caught by the net! He was pished! Up the Boro.
- So what do you do? - I'm the bloke who tells people that they can't do stuff. I went to see Procul Harum with the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band at town hall in 1975.
The passerby saw you setting up the camera,leaving the van,then entering the van again - he thought "l know that young man,it's Jams from by the curb doing another creative piece" 😂
You sure you didn't go looking for Bob M.🤔 Didn't realise it's now known as Cleveland?. You learn so much from vlogs like yours. Also happy birthday James 🎉
Oh how interesting. My son lives there James he’s called James and I miss him so much because he’s quite away from us. Xx the dock clocktower beautiful piece of architecture.
I work as a truck driver and delivered part of the wheel structure outside the riverside stadium it was made in sherburn in Altet by sh structures a company that went bust recently
Happy birthday James.. Great video as alway's. Just to see how other people live in any big town theres the same pattern Poverty, drugs,shops closing no jobs...yet 9 times out of 10 people on the streets who have nothing but gim tales to tell seem so friendly.
Hey, Christopher here again.... Firstly, it's "PARMO" not "PARMA" lol I forgive you....definitely local to Middlesbrough and Stockton, but birthplace of the Parmo is Middlesbrough. Good overview and vlog of Middlesbrough, although you could have done some more of Albert Park and Linthorpe Road. I know you were pushed for time but 15min drive outside of the centre in a place called Marton you can find Stewart's Park which is also nice. As a Teessider, or "Smoggie" [reference to the industry] I am proud of the regions industrial heritage and as I said in a comment on your Darington vlog, I love social history. I am a former mental health nurse recently left the profession for a career change but loved my time nursing my patients, many of which were from Middlesbrough, Darlington, Stockton, Redcar, Hartlepool, sometimes Durham...the local people are tough and resilient but have faced many challenges and adversity including poverty, homelessness, substance misuse, poor mental health etc...life is still hard in this part of the country and has been for decades as all governments have forgotten and ignored the region despite its rich industrial heritage. Transport connections are poor, there are vast areas of industrial wilderness, poor social housing. Despite this, the people are resilient, strong, and friendly.
Well done James for giving the real folk a voice 👏 think you'd be interested to know that Newport transporter bridge is being renovated at the moment and is supposed to be opening back up next year making it the only working transporter bridge in the UK apparently.. Watch this space!!
Well done,James,very interesting visit.The tower with 3 clock faces said it all-get as much work out of them for the least amount.Very hard work,accidents,no sick pay etc etc. The homeless pay them off,clear the streets, and make the council look good. Sadly, they are not doing what they should as always.The saying of " Don't judge a book by it's cover" you never know why it what they've been through to end up homeless.James you have a big heart,hope someone watches and starts digging as lm sure they are not the only council to do this.Thanks again 👏😊
I think your videos are superb James! Loved the Texas stuff. We are spending Christmas and New year in the Philippines this year. Keep up the good work 👍
I really enjoyed that especially the interviews. I m really awake to everything at the moment and this is the positive side of the internet. Hearing the news from the street. The Town Halls are definitely worth looking into. I may research it myself. On a lighter note my humorous side wanted to hear the theme tune to World in Action cut in. News to me the Transporter bridge is now closed. Like you when I lived in Lancashire Ihad a day trip to see and drive over it. 3 times in all. Sad to think that won't happen anymore. Loved the pub. Was that you new drone in action over the bridge?
Comedian and Actor, Paul Hogan used to paint the Sydney Bridge before he became famous. He's 85 years old now! I wonder if he knows it was built in England?
You should’ve tried Manjaro’s for your Parmo (pronounced with an Ooo sound not Parma) , great vlog you just popped up in my search, noticed you have just been to San Antonio Tx , will have to check it out , haven’t been there since early 2000’s
When I was a student in Middlesbrough in the 1970s the comedian/actor Terry Scott drove off the Transporter Bridge, assuming that it was an ordinary road bridge! I loved the town back in those days, but when I went back for a nostalgic visit last year it was tempting to jump off the bridge - how can a place change so much?
Great vlog james,my hometown,although I'm in Derbyshire for the past 20 years,I'm still up & down for the football ⚽️⚽️ Masham best 80s matchday pub,oh the memories Wembley arch stuffed with boro shirts too👍 with Middlesbrough football shirts, a mark left by the specialist steelworkers who made it. Similarly, Teessiders talk about how the Angel of the North has, inscribed inside it: “Built for Geordies, by Teessiders”…25 Mar 2012 😂
I moved to Middlesbrough 5 years ago brilliant place we are called smoggies but if you go to Liverpool you are classed as a Geordie ....? Yes, there are some bad parts of Middlesbrough like there's some bad parts of most towns lol ❤ from smoggy land 🏴
The Parmo looked so good ,I had to Google it .theres Parmo and parma ,one is bechamel one is tomato, seems theres different versions. It certainly looks a good substantial meal.

They probably saw the camera.
Lovely to see you chat to people James perhaps more of that on your vlogs 👍

The guy who was on his way to the Olympics broke my heart. That was one of your best vlogs, James.
Mine too x
Brilliant James another really nice vlog thank you mate I really enjoy your channel ❤
That was great, James, and I'm glad you didn't get caught out at the Toby Carvery 😀

Go to beamish living museum,
You can sleep in your van overnight in a car park ( very hidden )
Just left of the beamish main entrance
Yes please , I’m told it’s fabulous and have yet to drive up norf !!
Happy Birthday James. Well done this video was so very well made.

Jimmy Nail had his car pinched, when they made the show about selling the tranny bridge.😊
i get that all the time people people asking if im scouse
The building behind Temenos in your film is Middlesbrough College - I worked for them for 20 years.

I live not far from Middlesbrough and I found this very interesting. I didn’t know the transporter bridge had closed down!
I love their accent, my eldests girlfriend sounds so similar she's from up North. Love her accent a lot. Xx
Happy birthday James hope you had a few treats even though you are being good🎉🎉🎉
Less than 4 minutes in and I am compelled to comment. The best analogy of today's modern game ever 😂
You sure you didn't go looking for Bob M.🤔
Didn't realise it's now known as Cleveland?. You learn so much from vlogs like yours. Also happy birthday James 🎉
You have a good heart.
Remember the Transporter bridge from the later series of Auf Wiedersehen Pet. Love that you listened to the homeless ❤
Sorry boss can’t come in today, my rickets has had a flair up but they’ll be straight by Monday! Week end off😂😂
Oh how interesting. My son lives there James he’s called James and I miss him so much because he’s quite away from us. Xx the dock clocktower beautiful piece of architecture.

Got to say I was shocked when I visited boro about a year ago , compared to when when I were last there in 2006 , it’s unbelievable the change
Town halls are public spaces, except where staff work.
Happy birthday James.. Great video as alway's.
Just to see how other people live in any big town theres the same pattern Poverty, drugs,shops closing no jobs...yet 9 times out of 10 people on the streets who have nothing but gim tales to tell seem so friendly.
Have a look at Auditing Britain Ilford town hall visit from last month. Shocking. These are publicly owned accessible public spaces.
Every now and again you make me spit up my tea. 😂. Today it was “How you doing..?” at the Morrisons checkout. 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for giveing those people a voice. Remember There But For The Grace Of God, Go I.
Pilgrimage to Bob Mortimer's home town. I think Boro has the best Yorkshire accent, that's why the rest of Yorkshire tried to get shot. Honest.
Happy Birthday James ,you kept that quiet🎉
Oh dear…. I don’t regret moving out 22 years ago, must admit. 🤷♂️
i moved in 1 year ago xD
Did enjoy it James.. ATB Fella 👍🙏
Thanks mate
Empire is a nightclub some of the world's best DJs used to play
Hey, Christopher here again....
Firstly, it's "PARMO" not "PARMA" lol I forgive you....definitely local to Middlesbrough and Stockton, but birthplace of the Parmo is Middlesbrough.
Good overview and vlog of Middlesbrough, although you could have done some more of Albert Park and Linthorpe Road. I know you were pushed for time but 15min drive outside of the centre in a place called Marton you can find Stewart's Park which is also nice.
As a Teessider, or "Smoggie" [reference to the industry] I am proud of the regions industrial heritage and as I said in a comment on your Darington vlog, I love social history. I am a former mental health nurse recently left the profession for a career change but loved my time nursing my patients, many of which were from Middlesbrough, Darlington, Stockton, Redcar, Hartlepool, sometimes Durham...the local people are tough and resilient but have faced many challenges and adversity including poverty, homelessness, substance misuse, poor mental health etc...life is still hard in this part of the country and has been for decades as all governments have forgotten and ignored the region despite its rich industrial heritage.

Well done James for giving the real folk a voice 👏 think you'd be interested to know that Newport transporter bridge is being renovated at the moment and is supposed to be opening back up next year making it the only working transporter bridge in the UK apparently.. Watch this space!!
Forgot to add: Happy birthday, mate! Hope you're having a great day. 🥂🍺
Well done,James,very interesting visit.The tower with 3 clock faces said it all-get as much work out of them for the least amount.Very hard work,accidents,no sick pay etc etc. The homeless pay them off,clear the streets, and make the council look good. Sadly, they are not doing what they should as always.The saying of " Don't judge a book by it's cover" you never know why it what they've been through to end up homeless.James you have a big heart,hope someone watches and starts digging as lm sure they are not the only council to do this.Thanks again 👏😊
Well done James wonderful vlog👍👍😊🏴
Eat veggie soup from bulletin machine.Easy to make and cook.Low calorie and nutritious.
Parma is good done right. Another super vlog! ❤
Love seeing other parts of the country. Happy birthday James 🎉🎂🥳
Thank you 😊
Great vlog, we always enjoy your videos
great Blog James ....looking forward to your visit to my home city Sunderland .
Happy birthday James 🎂
Good vlog it's about 50 years since i was in Middlesbrough.
I think your videos are superb James! Loved the Texas stuff.
We are spending Christmas and New year in the Philippines this year.
Keep up the good work 👍
Natural holistic meds , it's all around Ower garden's , woodlands,, Hedge row s etc 😊

News to me - wow! fascinating!

I love your honesty and content
You need to call in Marske by the sea in the summer and have a look in the little museum winkys castle.

Good stuff once again
Comedian and Actor, Paul Hogan used to paint the Sydney Bridge before he became famous. He's 85 years old now!
I wonder if he knows it was built in England?
I didn't realise that, fascinating
Brian Clough. What a character he was. Said it as it was and didn't worry about who he upset. That's why he didn't get the England job.
Great Vlog,hope you have a great birthday.
You should’ve tried Manjaro’s for your Parmo (pronounced with an Ooo sound not Parma) , great vlog you just popped up in my search, noticed you have just been to San Antonio Tx , will have to check it out , haven’t been there since early 2000’s

Great vlog james,my hometown,although I'm in Derbyshire for the past 20 years,I'm still up & down for the football ⚽️⚽️
Masham best 80s matchday pub,oh the memories
Wembley arch stuffed with boro shirts too👍
with Middlesbrough football shirts, a mark left by the specialist steelworkers who made it. Similarly, Teessiders talk about how the Angel of the North has, inscribed inside it: “Built for Geordies, by Teessiders”…25 Mar 2012 😂
Looks quite nice . Doesn’t seem to be many people about 🤔
Had so many options for where to get parmos, and you went for a greasy spoon! Mint yoghurt?! Surely, it was garlic mayonnaise.

Another top vlog, and happy birthday. Big 60 eh? 😉
I moved to Middlesbrough 5 years ago brilliant place we are called smoggies but if you go to Liverpool you are classed as a Geordie ....?
Yes, there are some bad parts of Middlesbrough like there's some bad parts of most towns lol ❤ from smoggy land 🏴
The Parmo looked so good ,I had to Google it .theres Parmo and parma ,one is bechamel one is tomato, seems theres different versions. It certainly looks a good substantial meal.
I didn't know Middlesbrough was North Yorkshire.
Have a wander down to the town of Yarm. It would be great to see my home town after many years. You might even see Tom Hardie, he lives there.
