At 20:30 there’s a big German tunnel on the left hidden in the wall of the house. And a few on the right down the valley 👍🏼🇬🇬
When I was working in the UK i was always curious on Guernsey, now I know how it looks like. Thank you!
Glad this video was helpful 🇬🇬👍
I was there 54 years ago, even went ot school for a year or so there. It has changed along the prom there out towards where the Fish market was.I went fishing down there, though all changed. The land reclamation project the tried back then has been expanded. Happy memories, only there for a few years then to Canada , Ended up in the Isle of Man. Must be an Island thing, been here the longest 33 years, but still remember a good friend who I went to school with. If you see this Ian Pallot, its Ii from Mark, and I still play guitar. Hope you are keeping well.
Hi, glad the video has bought back some memories for you. Hope things are getting back to normal on the Isle of Man 🇮🇲

Just discovered your videos - this was a lovely drive around well remembered roads - thank you. I'm going to look out for your videos. Now in NZ but born in Guernsey,
I’m so glad you enjoyed the drive around - thanks for watching👍
I always looked out for license plates with the shortest numbers on the island. And here in the video, I found them. 4:56
Cor la, they've done the Royal Hotel and the Ribshack is looking good too, eh! Nice to see welcoming glass doors on the abbertoir. Actually, I used to drive the same route as you, but it was just to find a bloney place to park! And St Martins Hotel, memories of Ronnie Ronalde and his whistling.

Great video thanks! I haven't lived on the island for 2 years and it's lovely to see it again. Can you upload some videos of the tiny little lanes so I can show my French friends? They can't quite grasp the idea that you can't pass two cars side by side 😂
Thank you so much for watching - yes I will do some videos of the tiny lanes in guernsey very soon👍

Ahhh don’t we love guernsey traffic, at least it wasn’t as busy as it sometimes gets 😂
Far too many cars!
Shambles especially atm
amazing vid mate
Thanks 😊
I want to come here. Lots of beautiful places. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩❤️.
Hi, yes it’s a beautiful island - thanks for watching all the way from Bangladesh.
@@livinginguernsey8595 welcome 😊
Great video. I was a bit surprised to see the Union Flag flying in St. Peter Port.
Thanks for watching👍
Yeah you see UK flags flying everywhere, especially in May 😂
We’re technically part of the uk still since were a crowned dependency so it’s not unusual to see guernsey and uk flags near each other
Wow Interesting there some nice place
Shoutout here from 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Hi, thanks a lot😊
I want you to go full tour of The Queens Inn, I worked there but want it to remember for a lifetime.. now I am in estonia. thx. you make good vids
Ok I may do that video soon😮
Why did you leave Guernsey?
@@jcbanbury due some sercumstanses
Had so many memories from this one. Used to work in the Charoterrie at PK Construction. It was just a fairly dismal site with fairly basic constructions. So built up now!
Thanks for all these vids 😊
You’re welcome 😉
I left Guernsey in 2012, beautiful place, great people. I hope to come back someday to show my children where their father worked for four years. Greetings from Poland.
Yes such a beautiful place - it’s great to have you watching from Poland 🇵🇱 👍👍
Can I ask what sector your worked?
@@jcbanbury I was a chef.
Bicycles rule the roads so be prepared for long queues of cars behind them and if you like driving 19mph behind an old person for miles you ll love guernsey
Very true👍
25 square miles and they manage to stuff it absolutely chock full of cars!
Yep🇬🇬👍
Watching this video after the new Test drive Unlimited Solar Crown announcement.
Interesting!
Same over here, can't wait for the game!
I live here in Guernsey thought we could do a lot more for Taurus and we should set up a lot more for people to do over here that's the only downside apart from that is a lovely Island to live on
Yes good idea🤞
@@livinginguernsey8595 it would be a good idea I think a few of us should get together and sort out a petition and try and speak to our deputy who actually wants to change Guernsey and not make it worse but it is trying to find one who actually wants to talk and make a change but there ain't many
Interesting There is Very Nice poace
Yes it’s a beautiful island 🏝
Interesting channel mate. Subscribed 👍
I’m glad you like it 👍
@@livinginguernsey8595 I’ve been making my way around the coast, doing small vlogs a section at a time, getting aerial footage with the drone too. I’ll have to check out the rest of your vids this weekend.
Awesome - sounds good😀
lived on the island 01 to 05.
this brought back some great memories.
thank you :)
was that St Martins hotel you pulled in to? or what was!
I’m pleased you liked the video, and yes it was.
@@livinginguernsey8595 No it was Greenacres Hotel (as was)
Greenacres Hotel.
Have you ever been to Alderney Island? If yes, have you ever drove there?
Please can you do a video using the bus to find the beaches as I have a Mobolity issue and no car
Great idea - will do👍

So wonderful, so nice, i would like to live and work on the Island, but now with brexit it's much more complicated for me as citizen of Austria.
That’s a shame🙏
@@livinginguernsey8595 may I ask you how are winters on the island?
Hi, Winter (December to February) is never that cold but can be grey and rainy. February is considered the coldest month with an average high of 7°C (45°F) and an average low of 4°C (39°F), still relatively warm considered by many.
Hello, please could you make a video on housing and the cost of living please
Hi, yes will do ☺️
Thanks a lot :)
Is it cheaper to bring your car from the UK or France to the island then buying one there? Is Quid & Euros accepted there?
I don’t think we accept euros in guernsey. Regarding buying a car here or bringing one from the Uk or France, I would say probably bring your own car.
I miss my beautiful Guernsey. ❤
You have lived here in guernsey?
@@livinginguernsey8595 I live in 2003-2004. It's my dream Island. 😊❤
I agree - it’s a beautiful island 🌴
Where do you live now?
@@livinginguernsey8595 I live in Bedford. Bedfordshire.
So it's not part of UK? GB? But depends on the crown? What's the currency? Interesting to know more about the iSlands
It is a self-governing British Crown dependency with its own parliament, its own government (called the States of Guernsey), and its own laws. Sterling is the currency of Guernsey, which has its own notes and coins - your pound in the UK is worth the same when you spend in Guernsey. UK and Jersey currency can also be used within the Islands, but Channel Island sterling is not accepted in the UK.
@@livinginguernsey8595
Thanks for getting back. Interesting.
Basically a country of its own? So who protects the island? Do you have your own military? Police? Why it's not part of UK? Being small, am sure other countries have islands which is partnof them. Andaman island which india claimed its miles away from mainland India but its not letting it go its own way, it still undee Indian Union.
@@hassymiia6267 Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man are all crown dependencies. Crown dependencies have the international status of "territories for which the United Kingdom is responsible" rather than sovereign states.[3] The relationship between the Crown dependencies and the UK is "one of mutual respect and support, i.e. a partnership".[28]
Until 2001, responsibility for the UK government's relationships with the Crown dependencies rested with the Home Office, but it was then transferred first to the Lord Chancellor's Department, then to the Department for Constitutional Affairs, and finally to the Ministry of Justice. In 2010 the Ministry of Justice stated that relationships with the Crown dependencies are the responsibility of the United Kingdom Government as a whole, with the Ministry of Justice holding responsibility for the constitutional relationship and other ministries engaging with their opposite numbers in the Crown dependencies according to their respective policy areas.[4]
Sir John Chalmers McColl as Lieutenant Governor of Jersey
The British Government is solely responsible for defence and international representation[2] (although, in accordance with 2007 framework agreements,[29] the UK has elected not to act internationally on behalf of the Crown dependencies without prior consultation). The Crown dependencies are within the Common Travel Area and apply the same visa policy as the United Kingdom, but each Crown dependency has responsibility for its own customs and immigration services.
Acts of the British Parliament do not usually apply to the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, unless explicitly stated. UK legislation does not ordinarily extend to them without their consent.[4] For a UK Act to extend otherwise than by an Order in Council is now very unusual.[2] When deemed advisable, Acts of Parliament may be extended to the islands by means of an Order in Council (thus giving the UK Government some responsibility for good governance in the islands). An example of this was the Television Act 1954, which was extended to the Channel Islands, so as to create a local ITV franchise, known as Channel Television. By constitutional convention this is only done at the request of the insular authorities,[30] and has become a rare option (thus giving the insular authorities themselves the responsibility for good governance in the islands); the islands usually prefer nowadays to pass their own versions of laws giving effect to international treaties.
Westminster retains the right to legislate for the islands against their will as a last resort, but this is also rarely exercised, and may, according to legal opinion from the Attorney-General of Jersey, have fallen into desuetude - although this argument was not accepted by the Department for Constitutional Affairs. (The Marine, Etc., Broadcasting (Offences) Act 1967 was one recent piece of legislation extended to the Isle of Man against the wishes of Tynwald.)
The States of Jersey Law 2005 established that all Acts of the United Kingdom and Orders in Council were to be referred to the States, thus giving greater freedom of action to Jersey in international affairs.
As in England, but not the United Kingdom as a whole, the Church of England is the Established Church in the Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey.[31][32]
In 2007-2008, each Crown Dependency and the UK signed agreements[29][33][34] that established frameworks for the development of the international identity of each Crown Dependency. Among the points clarified in the agreements were that:
the UK has no democratic accountability in and for the Crown Dependencies, which are governed by their own democratically elected assemblies;
the UK will not act internationally on behalf of the Crown Dependencies without prior consultation;
each Crown Dependency has an international identity that is different from that of the UK;
the UK supports the principle of each Crown Dependency further developing its international identity;
the UK recognises that the interests of each Crown Dependency may differ from those of the UK, and the UK will seek to represent any differing interests when acting in an international capacity; and
the UK and each Crown Dependency will work together to resolve or clarify any differences that may arise between their respective interests.
The constitutional and cultural proximity of the Islands to the UK means that there are shared institutions and organisations. The BBC, for example, has local radio stations in the Channel Islands, and also a website run by a team based in the Isle of Man (which is included in BBC North West). While the Islands now assume responsibility for their own post and telecommunications, they continue to participate in the UK telephone numbering plan, and they have adopted postcode systems that are compatible with that of the UK.
The Crown dependencies, together with the United Kingdom, are collectively known as the British Islands. Since the British Nationality Act 1981 came into effect, they have been treated as part of the United Kingdom for British nationality law purposes.[35] However, each Crown dependency maintains local controls over housing and employment, with special rules applying to British citizens without specified connections to that Crown dependency (as well as to non-British citizens).

What car you got?
Ford transit van
For a population of 63,000 living in a small 65 sq km island having over 80,000 vehicles shows people are not environmentally conscious. Partha, India
very true
Is Guernsey part of UK, like Puerto Rico is of U.S?
It is a self-governing British Crown dependency with its own parliament, its own government (called the States of Guernsey), and its own laws. Sterling is the currency of Guernsey, which has its own notes and coins - your pound in the UK is worth the same when you spend in Guernsey. UK and Jersey currency can also be used within the Islands, but Channel Island sterling is not accepted in the UK.
Living On an Island a bit like Northern Ireland then they have there own parliament
Yes exactly right😀
