Hi Mary, always a pleasure hearing from you! A really interesting place to explore. Looks slightly different here than the West Coast but they say variety is the spice of life :)
You put a lot of work into that epic vlog Willie, bringing us lots of information! I love seeing these beautiful English cities and all the gardens. I liked the market comparison to Ebay😂. Always like to visit a tearoom too ( jam then cream ..no butter!)
Hi Sheila! Always a pleasure hearing from you. So much to explore on this beautiful island. Yes, I'm doing a lot of research for my vlogs of late, to be as informative as I could be. Hopefully this adds to the viewer experience as I can talk about history for ages (no pun intended!). Definitely the cream on top for me - but maybe there is a special trick with putting the cream first; at the moment I don't get it though! Haha yes the medieval Ebay was a very different experience to the 21st century one :)
Another first class video by willie and on home turf plenty of informative articles and information about the cityscape essential for people who want to travel to places thanks for your time to show some interesting things and places in uk!
Thank you Simon! Really pleased that you enjoyed it. I had a lot of fun reading up about the history and the hidden gems or unknown facts of the city. Really appreciate and value your ongoing support mon ami!
My home city 😊 my farther was Christened in st olives 1920s. Great video. I worked at C Shippams for 44 years Until it closed down After 250 years of Trading.😢 let my know if you come back to the city ad I do a ww2 walk around the city and tell people all about the people and there stories it takes about 2 hours .
Hi Christopher, thank you for your kind message! Glad you enjoyed it and it was a privilege visiting your beautiful city. I will take you up on your offer when I'm in Chi next time!
I love your unabashed sense of pride and enthusiasm and the way you present a range of historical facts at face value rather than cramming it all into a particular narrative or theme...very refreshing and inspiriing!
Thank you very much for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed my video and my overall approach. There are so much to see in Chichester and a lot of history :)
Love those individual stories about the Second World War and Chichester. And the random fire insurance mark was interesting. I'm a jam first cream second person. Great job on capturing Chichester's vibe and history!
You are most welcome! Glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate the support. Chichester really is a special place with an incredible history. Haha yes I hear you regarding the scone!
Interesting stat, the only cathedral you can see from the sea! This is making me a little nostalgic, i spent a fair bit of time in Chichester! I'd recommend a video on Arundel as well if you're doing local videos, very nice little town and the castle is expensive to get in but it's very impressive. Cant beat those scones! Coffee for me though please😅 as always i bow down to your knowledge and research mate, all those facts and info, i don't know where you store it! Probably the most informative video on Chichester (i refuse to call it 'Chi') out there!
Nice one mate! Definitely a lot of interesting places to explore in our beloved Sussex. I only found that out about the cathedral after doing my research. Hope your trip is going well, mine starting in October. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Haha 'Chi' is a bit of an interesting name ;)
Thank you so much for the brilliant Saturday entertainment, Unbeatable!! Like you, I have lived in this country for many years, and I keep marvelling at all its beauty! I enjoyed the garden and the cathedral, the architecture and all the history! The connection with Chichester and SA. And what a good deal you got with the tea! And the beautiful natural British weather, I never get enough of it! Please make more local content while in the Uk! Cheers 🍺🍺
Hi Bip! Always so wonderful hearing from you and I'm glad you enjoyed this vlog! Unfortunately my England videos have not performed well on TH-cam so far (in fact, views-wise they compete with Thailand for the lowest viewership or wooden spoon!). Hopefully this vlog and the next ones do better with the algorithm which in turn will allow me to do more vlogs of this beautiful country. I'm putting in a lot of research and effort into my current videos, so hopefully that pays off in the longer game too :) Have a great day my friend!
@@willieexplore I think your Uk vlogs will do better gradually, once you keep doing them. Sometimes it also takes Time, when I posted from South Africa for example, at first the posts were all dead, then after a couple of months 1 of them suddenly had 2.8K views, which is fantastic for me! Same with my Uk videos, dead to start with!
@@travel_and_explore_with_BIP that is very true! Do you share your videos on other social media? Sometimes that helps to get initial traction. I've tried sharing some snippets on TikTok too but may need some help from a Gen Z expert on hashtags haha! But as you say, this is a long game and you just never know when a video will go viral. Some also start with a bang but then stagnate, and vice versa. There is so much content on places like London, for example, so the competition is tough. That is great news on your 2.8K video! Btw I am always up for a collab or just a coffee & chat if you ever feel like that.
@@willieexploreI’ll pick up on your offer in the future Willie, thanks a lot! I haven’t been sharing much on other platforms, both because I find it tiring and also I don’t have many followers yet, I’ve been focusing on TH-cam, still early days here too! Going to Jamaica in a few weeks so I’ll be posting from there for sure!
Hey Willie. Good to see you again my friend that Cathedral was amazing so much history there in good old cloudy England I've been to London Heathrow airport a couple of times while transiting never went outside. keep up the good work my man 👍👍
Always a pleasure my friend! Certainly lots to explore outside Heathrow Airport, hope you get a chance one day. In the meantime, enjoy a Willie Explore vlog or two!
The Norman helmet is the silver one (c). And Chichester has now lost its 100 year conservative seat to the Liberal Democrats! Since you made this video! This explains a lot about what’s currently going on in British politics!
C is the correct answer, Bip! And yes, what a coincidence regarding the election! I actually knocked on the door of the Lib Dems office and Jess (the now new MP but at that stage only an election candidate) opened the door. I explained that I'm a tourist and asked if it is true that Chichester have had conservative rule for a century, which I found to be an extraordinary fact. She said yes and we ended up having a brief conversation about Chichester. Of all the 'politics' in the town I enjoyed reading up about the 1937 Cinema Referendum the most :)
Thanks, Willie. What a lovely city this is. Thanks for all the research and way you present the historic facts. 10/10.
Baie dankie, Errol! Glad you enjoyed it. It is an absolute pleasure and I'm grateful for your continued support!
Hi willie
Nice to see you back
Some beautiful old buildings you went to and walked past. A lot of history

One of my all-time favourite travel surprises. Never expected the cathedral to be as imposing and beautiful as it was. Thanks for showing me again!
Isn't it just amazing, Jasper? To think it has stood there for more than 900 years. Appreciate your support!
Willie baie intressant! Ek geniet dit ! Groete!
Waardeer dat jy saamkyk en kommentaar lewer, Tosca! Elke bietjie help! Groete daar in Lima
You are amazing! Thank you for this video
