Absolutely love this Simon, I watched it earlier whilst getting ready to go to the mam and dad for Christmas dinner. Came home and watched the last episode of Gavin and Stacey, very emotional, love it 👏🏻👏🏻 Merry Christmas 🤩🥳🥳🎅🏼
Start of your video I remember there was a bridge there that came from the car park on the right. That led to the fun house where the entrance used to blow air up girls skirts ha, ha. That wooden roller coaster was called the whacky gold mine. At 18yrs old it was 1991 and I celebrated my birthday in Barry Buttlins as its where I worked at the burger mall which was on the right of the main entrance as you went in. I worked as a table cleaner and serving on the till, best times of my life and most of the local Barry lads who sneaked in through the fence holes lol became my best mates and will be forever. Rip Jason who used to work on the dodgeum cars. I miss everyone I worked with and buttlins so so much. Merry Xmas Simon and Family. Barry buttlins will always have a place in my heart.
was'nt that the butlins roller skate rink where you were drinking your beer. Merry christmas and a great new year from a welshman now living in cambridge who spent all my youth visiting barry island and yes that wooden roller coaster was great. ( I am now 67). Many Many happy times in Barry.
Merry Christmas Simon and family and everyone watching the channel. Enjoying the first half of the video and will watch the second half when I get back from the in-laws tonight. Cheers
Some snobs frown at people who live in the same place all their life. But there’s nothing wrong with it. Always living in Barry brings back that Welsh village, seaside or mining town community spirit of times gone by. Merry Christmas Simon 🍺
Merry Christmas Simon and family 🎄🎄🎄🌟🌟🌟🌟 I spent many a summer on that beach and at Butlins and The feathers nightclub and the ship hotel on the road to the Island . I had a flat on the parade so used to go to The Knap a lot to Bindles bar x then moved to Laugharne West Wales now live in Cowbridge but all my family still live in Barry. Daniel street, Guys road,wynd street . It’s the largest town in Wales. But for a night out I always preferred Cardiff. Nice nostalgic vid Simon. X
Lovely video mate, the girlfriend and I actually visited Cardiff last month and came down to Barry to see the sights, get some gavin Stacey merch etc. not a bad little area. Merry Christmas
Have been an occasional beerhunter in Barry for a decade: suggest you review the cask ale pubs (perhaps comparing them to archetypes), starting with the Spoons and the Butterfly Collector.
Merry xmas fella. Thanks for all your hard work but my waistline says ****** *****😂 ps, the name of your first car was not an instruction on how to drive it 😂
Merry Christmas from Australia. I spent many happy times at Barry Island in the 60's and 70's. This brought back lots of memories. Many thanks.

I loved Gavin & Stacey when it came out, Can’t believe I was 15 when it first aired in 2007. Shame James Corden turned into such a knob.
