I’ve always taught my children to treat everyone in the same way because you never know who you’re talking to. My father in law had a good friend who was, at the time, one of the wealthiest men on Jersey in the channel islands; he didn’t drive a flash car and rarely flew first class because he always said “ it arrives at the same time”.
@@Jane-rc2rk It would be nice if our children were taught to treat everyone the same because everyone deserved to be treated kindly, but in this world where wealth and status are so greatly desired I think that might be a lost cause.
Probably one of the reasons he was one of the wealthiest people on Jersey was because he didn’t waste his money on flash cars and 1st class flights. Old school generation. I had an uncle who to look at you would have thought had little money by the way he lived. Not the case at all. 🙂
My husband and I have been to Claridges in London for breakfast twice and they treated us exactly the same as everybody else even though we looked a little 'alternative'. That place that ignored you is not a truly posh place because if they were you would have been treated with respect.

I do love York but you should definitely get in touch with Grays Court to complain - poor service should never be rewarded by being ignored. An apology is in order, it’s not even as though there are not many equally fine establishments in York. I can tell you, having been there before, that this place is absolutely nothing so extra special that it should treat customers like that - especially given that it clearly wasn’t just one member of staff having an off day. I’ll personally be avoiding it like the plague on any future visits after what happened to you, so I thank you for letting us know (and you can quote me on that when you contact them, if you so wish.)

Life is too short 😊 subscribed, looking forward to watching more of your content 😉 xx
I agree about those not using headphones. My Dad loved playing his music loud in 70s, and we were thrilled when he got a stereo with headphones. It's in the 70s, I went to York and still looks amazing but £17 for a cheese and pickle sandwich I will live vicariously through both of you. Thank you for sharing this. 👍👵🇬🇧
Please could I thank you for posting your videos? I’m disabled now so can’t get about as I would like, so watching you guys doing your thing helps me to escape my house. I love the chemistry that you guys have and I laugh so much at your humour. I also like seeing the places you visit and hearing about them. Once again, huge thanks and best wishes, Ian.
Hi Ian. Thank you so very much for your comment and for watching our videos. Sorry to hear you dont get about as much. We hope you continue to enjoy. Let us know if there is anywhere you’d like us to go and if we can go, we will 👍
Hello Ian, Fellow virtual traveller hereI never 'get out' unless for scans nd things at hospital. I love this aspect of YT., A wonderful friend w his 'phone cam 'takes me' up on the South Downs and surrounding towns, otherwise, I would see v little :) Happy Wandering's! O, btw, Google Eart can be good, but not as interesting as this :)
I'm ambulatory disabled and I like watching these videos because they are so clear and I can see which places I could manage. Funny relatable couple, always respectful of others, informative and very cute dogs.
I would never queue for Betty's. But for tourists it's ok. The staff watch over you to rush you along to get the next person in the queue in. Always go to The Ivy. We go for every occasion. They're always polite and the food is amazing. And you are NEVER rushed.
I always go to Betty's in York although since covid the menu is much shorter. They used to do a pear and parsnip soup - wonderful. But all these tourists having 'afternoon tea' in the morning are a real nuisance especially when they are getting the waitresses to take lots and lots of photos of them eating a macaron. Much better to ask for a seat downstairs.
We have been watching since you went to that site that cost 53 quid, yes 53 quid, I have to say I instantly liked you both, you are typical South Yorkshire and I like that, you both get along so well, no moaning, just two genuine funny caring people on a journey with two little dogs, love them too. Thanks a bunch and good luck to you both.
Ah! Good old York. York is a very special place for me as I went to university there. Love visiting whenever I can, as there is so much to see and do. For anyone interested in trains I would recommend the National Railway Museum, next to the railway station, but there is something for everyone in York. I can't wait to visit again. Thanks for posting this lovely video.
I haven't seen the "posh place" incident yet; I'm only eight minutes into the video. But what an amazing place this city is. So beautiful, everywhere. I'm just glued to this. I'm regretting now, that I didn't take more trips to other parts of England in my youth. At 80, we're not going anywhere. I left England on a boat when I was going on 11. The costs of travel were huge in those days. Once you left you didn't go back. I went back once in 1976 just so my Mum could have a last look. My son must go. I'll tell him. He had an English accent when he was little and he'd never seen England in his life. He loved the Queen and he particularly likes King Charles. Wonderful place, you're visiting. My Dad was from Yorkshire so I wonder if I'm being drawn in, genetically? You never know.
Hi. Thank you so much for watching 👍 England is beautiful with lots of cracking little places to discover. Where do you live now? 🗺️ We hope your Son visits!
@@Stchristopherofatlantis I'm on the West Coast of Canada. Right on the Pacific Ocean. The U.S.A. is 9 miles away from here. We left central Ontario in 1967 so now we are a continent away from York. That was the best British city I've ever seen on TH-cam. What a place! Beautiful.
Recently started watching your videos, I like the way you highlight the positive side of places you visit it's a refreshing change from the negativity others look for really enjoying your relaxed approach
I’d have gone to him and explained politely how long you’d being waiting and that others seemed to have being served before you even though they seemed to have arrived after you. They would have had to tell me to my face why they weren’t prepared to serve me and why! Then I’d have asked to see the manager.
We so enjoyed this video of your time in York. I was born and raised in York (1967). Caesers Restaurant used to belong to my mother's family, Bowman's Butchers. The abbetoir was behind the shop in Bedern (the snicket beside the shop in Goodramgate). My Grandad Bowman and his brothers ran the shop for many years before it was sadly sold. If you ask the current owners of the Restaurant, they know about the history of the butchers shop. My mum would help to run errands delivering meat during the war on her bicycle. One day she dropped a packet of highly prized sausages from her bicycle basket onto the road and a bus came along and ran over the sausages!! She was in bad books!! Fabulous videos and we really enjoy them all. Thanks for great content and sharing your experiences. Sarah and Win Rogers x
Hi Sarah and Win Love to hear this story and hope others see this comment. York is beautiful and you are lucky to have grown up there ❤️ Thank you for watching our video 👍☀️
I live in York and love going into the centre. You did a great job of showing some high lights. It can get extremely busy in the summer, Christmas markets very busy also. Yes the campsite in the centre and it’s always booked months in advance.
Not good to leave you sitting 30 minutes waiting to order. You guys are 'proper' so I won't be wasting my hard earned in that establishment. New to your channel but what a breath of fresh air you guys bring.
Next time you get ignored like that, Just click your fingers and shout waiter ! waiter! I do it and they don't like it much and the wife doesn't like it either, especially when I'm at home 😂
Knew a waitress who got sacked. Some loud guy kept clicking his fingers at her while she was serving on a busy night. She eventually got to him and said [ it takes more than two fingers to make me come ] and walked off😂
found your channel love ur adventure, just subscribed can't wait 4 the next❤ wow what horrible treatment at that posh place! So glad u found a better place! Safe travels 🎉🎉
Hi yes that’s my name on the stones the flooding was bad evacuating the site at 1.00 in the morning !! Was a warden for 21 years worked all over the country did 5 seasons at Rowntree glad im retired now happy days
Wow Sheila we are delighted that our video found you ❤️ Thank you for watching our video. We loved our stay at Rowntree. Happy retirement. Any site recommendations you have are welcome🤣🤣👍👍❤️❤️
Hi there are so many nice ones for you in a MH Cirencester Pk in the Cotswold lots of history and a lovely walk through the Bathurst estate and if you choose the right time you can watch the royals play polo really enjoy your videos from a Yorkshire lass
@@Stchristopherofatlantis How about Chatsworth Park? All the woodland you could wish for ANd some lovely views as well - although no City on the doorstep. Beautiful grounds and House as well - and a nearby village on the estate is well worth a visit.
We lived in York and loved it. It's a truly beautiful City. The history is wonderful. I loved to visit all these old Churches and sit in peace. Some have amazing medieval statues , candelabras and pews. Its a shame the more modern shops have been built around so many beautiful gems. Keep your eyes peeled for them, in small side streets. NO, Betty's is NOT "JUST A CUP OF TEA" Guy Fawkes WAS born in York, He was Christened in St Michaels Church, a beautiful Church right next to the Minster. He was imprisoned ,and hanged ,in York Prison ( which still exists within the Castle Museum and is well worth a visit.) The Jorvik Centre is a travel back ,through the rebuild of the ACTUAL Viking village, that was found during excavations under the Street. It's amazing with houses where they actually were excavated. Sights, sounds, smells bring the Vikings back to life. You need , at least, a good 3 days to do a visit to York justice . And you will miss out on most of the sights,:- The Minster, The walls, The Jorvik Viking Centre, The Railway museum , The Castle Museum, (which would take a day alone to visit) The Treasurers House, Fairfax House, Cliffords Tower, if you take dogs. There's not much point going, in fact !!
Hi, We agree there is so much to do in York that a short weekend just isn’t enough time. There’s loads more we wanted to see and ran out of time 🙃 Thanks for watching
Our daughter and husband love York and visit 3/4 times a year, if you want a Posh Hotel in York they recommend the Grand. On their next visit they have been upgraded FOC to a suite.
Hey Andy and Clair! Just wanted to say your York vlog was absolutely brilliant! You two had me laughing out loud with your humor while also packing in so many cool facts. It was fantastic seeing all those amazing locations around the city-felt like I was exploring right alongside you. But that hotel garden scene? Oh my gosh, I was cringing and laughing at the same time! I can’t believe you were forgotten and then practically held hostage by the garden furniture! You turned a horrendous situation into comedy gold. Keep up the great work! 🍺🍺🦴🦴
Hi Tony, Thanks for watching and laughing out loud 👍👍👍 We loved York, so much to see and do and we will definitely return to York as we missed out loads and just ran out of time. We send you both our best wishes xx
Another fantastic video. York is a beautiful place. Unfortunately, some place just dont want your money or custom. 😮I wouldn't have waited so long. You have more patience than me. Thanks for taking me along. Great video ❤
You really showed off York so nicely, it makes me want to go again, I love the old time streets and shops, and the Friendly food places and sweet shops, we will forget about the posh eating place, not for us, I love good customer service so it would not work for me.
Love York and enjoyed your vid immensely. About 20 years ago, we inadvertently walked the whole length of the walls with a very distinctive Collie x Saluki dog before seeing the ‘no dogs’ sign when we came off. It was heaving up there and no one said anything, not even a tut or disapproving glance.
@@Stchristopherofatlantis His name was Benji. A very distinctive dog with black and white colouring and feathery plumes. You'd have been hard pushed to miss him on the very narrow wall. Thankfully he was very laid back so you could literally take him anywhere.
Hi Guys, great video as always! We love York it never fails. Thanks for the honest review of the camp site. We have always stayed in a hotel when we have been so may try a campsite a little further out as we like the peace and quiet. Just back in Northern Ireland getting the ferry tomorrow so back home soon after 6 weeks touring. Cheers Trev and Sue.😊
Also, those ceramic ghosts look super cool. The queue scared me off on my last visit to York, but will be back and brave the queue next time. Great content thanks 👻
Guy fawks inn was a nice little place for food, also it was all lit by old fashioned gas lamps inside when me and family ate there. I loved York with all the museums including Dick turpentine prison cell. Great video guys really enjoyed myself, it's been emotional ✌🏻 gained a new subject today to tag along on your next expedition. Keep safe & keep smiling 😊
Great vlog guys. Hubby and I went to York 2 years ago and loved it. Watching you brought back lots of lovely memories. Thanks for sharing it with us. ATB to you both and the fur babies. Take care and stay safe.x
That was a real and revisited favourite amongst UK touring caravan sites with my ex-H and I- well over 30 years ago. I do agree about the lack of surrounding hills and woodland - but you are bang on the doorstep of York City and all its treasures. It's a trade-off - can't have both. If so, I'd be delighted to know. So nice to revisit a much loved site and city with you both. Thank you! x
We went to the Ivy a couple of weeks ago. They have a special menu that's about £20 each for 2 courses. Really good food and great service. Cheaper than we expected
We went to Betty’s in Harrogate, I bought a tea caddy which is great but thought the afternoon tea was grossly over rated for the price. We could have had a nicer one at a cheaper price in a smaller establishment.
They trade on their name now. Might have been easier to queue and buy two Fat Rascals and take them back with you for tea. Ask me how I know - from experience. x
Always queues outside Bettys , both in York and Harrogate . Try Bettys in Harlow Carr Gardens just outside Harrogate , a little less busy . Loved seeing York again , My husband comes from there and I am a Leeds girl .
Love York ,lucky to live 25 mins away but great to see new places , great video again love the humour 😂. Ps what is the beautiful song you play at the end of your videos ? You probably said but i can’t get it out of my head ❤
Hi guys There is a site ( maybe uv been here ) that's 10 mins on bus that costs only £2 each from right outside park It's called YORK CARAVAN PARK Its adults only and very peaceful We wer there in june
We were in York last week love it go regular always something to see or do.Bad experience in Grays court awful service.Cross keys is good ate there, pies are great .
The mayor doesn’t live in the mansion house..they are allowed to use the small flat at the top if needed but the reside in their own house during their time as mayor
Yes agree regarding the motor home service point took us a while to sus it out, But we enjoyed York and the campsite It was really good seeing your experience and acknowledge O we been there ha. We were there late June this year.
Maybe the waiter should have come over and asked if you wanted anything else and then all the misunderstanding could have been resolved as for the lady not apologising is disgusting great vlog as always guys 🍻❤️🍻
Well there are, as you say, plenty of places which are wise enough to welcome all orderly customers. There's always Bettys, b for the ultimate afternoon tea but also for a fun lunch or afternoon tea, take the river cruise. It comes complete with a very informative commentary, but does need to be booked ahead. They definitely make everyone feel very comfortable though.
Steve Mcqueen rode a Triumph TR6 Trophy motorcycle in the Great Escape and I believe he owned a few Triumphs but according to an article I read one of his favourite bikes was a Husqvana 400cc but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, Great vlogs by the way keep up the good work 😊 from a 71 year old biker (Royal Enfield 650) my bike 😊
Interesting Fact, When you walked through the rooms in Grays Court, my wife had lectures in them rooms when she was at teacher training college in the 80s, before it was turned into a hotel. She also has lectures on the lawned area in the summer. Hope you enjoyed your time in York..
Spent many a hazy drunken night in York as I trained at York St John on Lord Mayors Walk back in the day. It truly is a beautiful city, loved your tour you captured all the best bits cheers, how very rude of that hotel don't deserve punters. Keep em coming guys bet your little four legged friends sleep well, best wishes to you all.
Thanks again guys for another fabulous tour, another place that we've not been to but will now, as for the ignorant waitors obviously they don't recognise motorhome royalty lol. Looking forward to more travels with you.❤
How dare they snub our favourite you tubers. We wont be going there in a hurry! The Bike was a Triumph. Steve didnt actially do the jump over the wall in the great escape . He wanted to but the producers of thd film wouldnt let him! So he asked his mate Bud Ekins to do it, so its Bud who actually does the jump. ( I have a Bud Ekins edition Triumph Bonneville) Keep safe👍
@neilself581 apparently the old road is knee lengh below lol ..been on the local news a few times and other pubs some have apparently even heard cornum ( roman horns ) been blown then seen the romans walk bye
@@markbowman7240 I lived and worked in York. One of my colleagues, usually a sane, calm, rational girl insisted she'd seen the Soldiers marching through. She was very freaked out🤣 The original roads are lower, obviously, and have been built upon several times over the Centuries. As you enter the Jorvik Viking Centre, you will see a wall that's been excavated. It demonstrates the different levels of road, that will have existed during different Historical times. (the archaeological teams obviously know how to decipher this) It always makes me wonder what they'd find, from Viking times, under the opposite Marks and Spencer . Had they demolished THAT, I'd have been quids in 😂

I’m originally from York but live in Rotherham now, really enjoyed the vid, thank you ☺️ Cannot wait for the day me and the hubby can get get a camper van and just go wherever we want to go, making memories and having adventures along the way!! Life is too short 😊 subscribed, looking forward to watching more of your content 😉 xx
@joanna3526 thanks for subscribing! You don’t live too far from us then in Barnsley. We wish you happy travels
Was it because they had pups with them then or...?
No excuse for bad service, I would definitely make a complaint.
Hi 👋 thanks for watching
I agree about those not using headphones. My Dad loved playing his music loud in 70s, and we were thrilled when he got a stereo with headphones. It's in the 70s, I went to York and still looks amazing but £17 for a cheese and pickle sandwich I will live vicariously through both of you. Thank you for sharing this. 👍👵🇬🇧
Hi 👋 your message made us smile
Thanks so much for watching 👍👍
Please could I thank you for posting your videos? I’m disabled now so can’t get about as I would like, so watching you guys doing your thing helps me to escape my house. I love the chemistry that you guys have and I laugh so much at your humour. I also like seeing the places you visit and hearing about them. Once again, huge thanks and best wishes, Ian.
Hi Ian. Thank you so very much for your comment and for watching our videos.
Sorry to hear you dont get about as much.
We hope you continue to enjoy.
Let us know if there is anywhere you’d like us to go and if we can go, we will 👍
Hello Ian, Fellow virtual traveller hereI never 'get out' unless for scans nd things at hospital. I love this aspect of YT., A wonderful friend w his 'phone cam 'takes me' up on the South Downs and surrounding towns, otherwise, I would see v little :) Happy Wandering's! O, btw, Google Eart can be good, but not as interesting as this :)
If there is anything around Washington state that interests you, let me know. I’d be happy to film it for you.
Hello 👋 thanks for watching
I'm ambulatory disabled and I like watching these videos because they are so clear and I can see which places I could manage. Funny relatable couple, always respectful of others, informative and very cute dogs.
If it's any consolation, that hotel only scored 1 for hygiene and cleanliness last year. It was upgraded on appeal but still.....
Nooo way?!?! Really!! That’s terrible
It’s mainly a wedding venue, been a few times and not very memorable 😅
I've had the same experience at Betty's in York, fourty-five minutes we waited and never got served. I would never go back again.
What a shame. Expensive cuppa tea 🤣🤣
@@Stchristopherofatlantis What I didn't say this happened thirty-five/ fourty years ago, yes, I hold a grudge.
Claire here and I’m the same as you!
Betty's there and in Harrogate has always been very snobbish. Remembering right back to the 1960s. Not truly high class in my estimation
@@Eekyellie pseudo posh , new money chavs with no idea of manners .
Cannot believe nobody even came to clear the table , very bad service .
It wasn’t too busy either. Bit of a shame
You didn’t miss much. The food is awful we had smoked salmon, terrible.
Oh noooo!
It's not known for good food. You escaped lightly , to be honest. There are many, many better places to eat in York
@@Stchristopherofatlantis You were better off not being served. The food is expensive and rubbish. Many better places to eat
I would never queue for Betty's. But for tourists it's ok. The staff watch over you to rush you along to get the next person in the queue in. Always go to The Ivy. We go for every occasion. They're always polite and the food is amazing. And you are NEVER rushed.
This sounds fabulous. Thanks for this 👍
I always go to Betty's in York although since covid the menu is much shorter. They used to do a pear and parsnip soup - wonderful. But all these tourists having 'afternoon tea' in the morning are a real nuisance especially when they are getting the waitresses to take lots and lots of photos of them eating a macaron. Much better to ask for a seat downstairs.
Shouldn't laugh, but that is funny......although extremely annoying
We have been watching since you went to that site that cost 53 quid, yes 53 quid, I have to say I instantly liked you both, you are typical South Yorkshire and I like that, you both get along so well, no moaning, just two genuine funny caring people on a journey with two little dogs, love them too. Thanks a bunch and good luck to you both.
fifttyyyyy hoooow muuuchhhhhhh
Thanks for watching and your kiind words. We hope you keep enjoying
Ah! Good old York. York is a very special place for me as I went to university there. Love visiting whenever I can, as there is so much to see and do. For anyone interested in trains I would recommend the National Railway Museum, next to the railway station, but there is something for everyone in York. I can't wait to visit again. Thanks for posting this lovely video.
York is beautiful and we lived our visit
We will return 👍👍
I haven't seen the "posh place" incident yet; I'm only eight minutes into the video. But what an amazing place this city is. So beautiful, everywhere. I'm just glued to this. I'm regretting now, that I didn't take more trips to other parts of England in my youth. At 80, we're not going anywhere. I left England on a boat when I was going on 11. The costs of travel were huge in those days. Once you left you didn't go back. I went back once in 1976 just so my Mum could have a last look. My son must go. I'll tell him. He had an English accent when he was little and he'd never seen England in his life. He loved the Queen and he particularly likes King Charles. Wonderful place, you're visiting. My Dad was from Yorkshire so I wonder if I'm being drawn in, genetically? You never know.
Hi. Thank you so much for watching 👍
England is beautiful with lots of cracking little places to discover.
Where do you live now? 🗺️
We hope your Son visits!
@@Stchristopherofatlantis I'm on the West Coast of Canada. Right on the Pacific Ocean. The U.S.A. is 9 miles away from here. We left central Ontario in 1967 so now we are a continent away from York. That was the best British city I've ever seen on TH-cam. What a place! Beautiful.
Disgraceful, I’d never treat customers like that
It wasn’t a great experience 🤔
Recently started watching your videos, I like the way you highlight the positive side of places you visit it's a refreshing change from the negativity others look for really enjoying your relaxed approach
There is beauty everywhere!!!
Thanks for watching
I’d have gone to him and explained politely how long you’d being waiting and that others seemed to have being served before you even though they seemed to have arrived after you. They would have had to tell me to my face why they weren’t prepared to serve me and why! Then I’d have asked to see the manager.
Hi 👋 thanks for watching 👍
We so enjoyed this video of your time in York. I was born and raised in York (1967). Caesers Restaurant used to belong to my mother's family, Bowman's Butchers. The abbetoir was behind the shop in Bedern (the snicket beside the shop in Goodramgate). My Grandad Bowman and his brothers ran the shop for many years before it was sadly sold. If you ask the current owners of the Restaurant, they know about the history of the butchers shop. My mum would help to run errands delivering meat during the war on her bicycle. One day she dropped a packet of highly prized sausages from her bicycle basket onto the road and a bus came along and ran over the sausages!! She was in bad books!! Fabulous videos and we really enjoy them all. Thanks for great content and sharing your experiences. Sarah and Win Rogers x
Hi Sarah and Win
Love to hear this story and hope others see this comment. York is beautiful and you are lucky to have grown up there ❤️
Thank you for watching our video 👍☀️
Thankyou for sharing your lovely backstreets tour of York. 😊😊
Thanks for watching
Thankyou for sharing your lovely backstreets tour of York. It’snot often😊😊
Thanks for watching
I live in York and love going into the centre. You did a great job of showing some high lights. It can get extremely busy in the summer, Christmas markets very busy also. Yes the campsite in the centre and it’s always booked months in advance.
Hi, Thanks so much for watching
Not good to leave you sitting 30 minutes waiting to order. You guys are 'proper' so I won't be wasting my hard earned in that establishment.
New to your channel but what a breath of fresh air you guys bring.
Welcome to our channel
Thanks for watching 👍👍
You two got further in than we did back in 2019. Wouldn't even let us past the front reception room.
Really??????
Next time you get ignored like that,
Just click your fingers and shout waiter ! waiter!
I do it and they don't like it much and the wife doesn't like it either,
especially when I'm at home 😂
Have you been speaking to Andy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Knew a waitress who got sacked. Some loud guy kept clicking his fingers at her while she was serving on a busy night. She eventually got to him and said
[ it takes more than two fingers to make me come ] and walked off😂
@@calvbutler5894 clicking your fingers or shouting at waiters is a gross behaviour. just wave them or walk up if you need urgent attention..
found your channel love ur adventure, just subscribed can't wait 4 the next❤ wow what horrible treatment at that posh place! So glad u found a better place! Safe travels 🎉🎉
Hello and a big massive welcome to our channel. Hope you enjoy our highly informative travel videos 😂😂😂
I love sitting & watching people going by
People watching is the absolute best
My first time watching .what a lovely couple and loads of history and facts.thoroughly enjoyed,have subscribed.😊
Thanks for subscribing. We are delighted you found our channel
Hi yes that’s my name on the stones the flooding was bad evacuating the site at 1.00 in the morning !! Was a warden for 21 years worked all over the country did 5 seasons at Rowntree glad im retired now happy days
Wow Sheila we are delighted that our video found you ❤️ Thank you for watching our video.
We loved our stay at Rowntree.
Happy retirement. Any site recommendations you have are welcome🤣🤣👍👍❤️❤️
Hi there are so many nice ones for you in a MH Cirencester Pk in the Cotswold lots of history and a lovely walk through the Bathurst estate and if you choose the right time you can watch the royals play polo really enjoy your videos from a Yorkshire lass
Hi. Love these recommendations. Thank you
Back at ya from a couple of Yorkshire folk xx
@@Stchristopherofatlantis How about Chatsworth Park? All the woodland you could wish for ANd some lovely views as well - although no City on the doorstep. Beautiful grounds and House as well - and a nearby village on the estate is well worth a visit.
First time I've seen your channel and I subscribed within two minutes! Love the historical information and your sense of humour 😍
Hi welcome to our channel, we are delighted you found us 👍👍❤️❤️
Have a great week
🫶🏻🙏@@Stchristopherofatlantis
My first time watching you. Your video was great--very interesting and entertaining. Thank you for the historical info as well!
Hello welcome to our channel 👍
We lived in York and loved it. It's a truly beautiful City. The history is wonderful. I loved to visit all these old Churches and sit in peace. Some have amazing medieval statues , candelabras and pews. Its a shame the more modern shops have been built around so many beautiful gems. Keep your eyes peeled for them, in small side streets. NO, Betty's is NOT "JUST A CUP OF TEA" Guy Fawkes WAS born in York, He was Christened in St Michaels Church, a beautiful Church right next to the Minster. He was imprisoned ,and hanged ,in York Prison ( which still exists within the Castle Museum and is well worth a visit.) The Jorvik Centre is a travel back ,through the rebuild of the ACTUAL Viking village, that was found during excavations under the Street. It's amazing with houses where they actually were excavated. Sights, sounds, smells bring the Vikings back to life. You need , at least, a good 3 days to do a visit to York justice . And you will miss out on most of the sights,:- The Minster, The walls, The Jorvik Viking Centre, The Railway museum , The Castle Museum, (which would take a day alone to visit) The Treasurers House, Fairfax House, Cliffords Tower, if you take dogs. There's not much point going, in fact !!
Hi, We agree there is so much to do in York that a short weekend just isn’t enough time. There’s loads more we wanted to see and ran out of time 🙃
Thanks for watching
Thank you. That’s fascinating. Are there any memorials there for the Great War soldiers?
Only place in the UK that is not dog friendly.
Our daughter and husband love York and visit 3/4 times a year, if you want a Posh Hotel in York they recommend the Grand. On their next visit they have been upgraded FOC to a suite.
I do fancy a night with no dogs… this could be it 👍👍
Thank you for watching
Love York thankyou for showing us around , lot’s of little shops the Shambles are beautiful ❤ lot’s of great information from you 👍❤️
Hello, thankyou for watching our video
Brilliant video, lovely couple
Hi 👋 thanks for watching 👍☀️
lovely tour
Thank you
Hey Andy and Clair! Just wanted to say your York vlog was absolutely brilliant! You two had me laughing out loud with your humor while also packing in so many cool facts. It was fantastic seeing all those amazing locations around the city-felt like I was exploring right alongside you. But that hotel garden scene? Oh my gosh, I was cringing and laughing at the same time! I can’t believe you were forgotten and then practically held hostage by the garden furniture! You turned a horrendous situation into comedy gold. Keep up the great work! 🍺🍺🦴🦴
Hi Tony,
Thanks for watching and laughing out loud 👍👍👍 We loved York, so much to see and do and we will definitely return to York as we missed out loads and just ran out of time. We send you both our best wishes xx
Another fantastic video. York is a beautiful place. Unfortunately, some place just dont want your money or custom. 😮I wouldn't have waited so long. You have more patience than me. Thanks for taking me along. Great video ❤
Hi 👋 How are you?
Thanks for watching
@Stchristopherofatlantis I'm great thank you. Just need some half good weather to fly.❤🙃
You two are obviously so in love, you make me smile. Your dry humour is wonderful.
Thankyou for your kind comment
Try Nayburn lock campsite. 4 miles outside York. You can catch a water taxi (large boat) takes dogs, 40 mins boat ride into centre of York.
Made a note of this. Love the idea of the water taxi 👍👍👍
What a lovely, friendly couple. 👍🏽
Thank you 👍
You really showed off York so nicely, it makes me want to go again, I love the old time streets and shops, and the Friendly food places and sweet shops, we will forget about the posh eating place, not for us, I love good customer service so it would not work for me.
Loved York, it was super, smashing great
Love York and enjoyed your vid immensely. About 20 years ago, we inadvertently walked the whole length of the walls with a very distinctive Collie x Saluki dog before seeing the ‘no dogs’ sign when we came off. It was heaving up there and no one said anything, not even a tut or disapproving glance.
Hi, This made us smile. What was your dogs name?
@@Stchristopherofatlantis His name was Benji. A very distinctive dog with black and white colouring and feathery plumes. You'd have been hard pushed to miss him on the very narrow wall. Thankfully he was very laid back so you could literally take him anywhere.
❤️❤️🐾
Really enjoyed this video ..🇨🇦
Helllooooooo 👋👋👋👋
Brilliant as always thanks for the tour really enjoyed this one 👍
Hi Ray, Thanks 🤣
Hi Guys, great video as always! We love York it never fails. Thanks for the honest review of the camp site. We have always stayed in a hotel when we have been so may try a campsite a little further out as we like the peace and quiet. Just back in Northern Ireland getting the ferry tomorrow so back home soon after 6 weeks touring. Cheers Trev and Sue.😊
Hi Trev and Sue, been following your travels and looks excellent 🚐❤️ Safe trip home xx
Also, those ceramic ghosts look super cool. The queue scared me off on my last visit to York, but will be back and brave the queue next time. Great content thanks 👻
Hi 👋 thanks for watching our video 👍
a brilliant tour and video of york ..makes you proud of being from yorshire seeing all that history so close by
We are proud Yorkshire men and women too ❤️👍
Guy fawks inn was a nice little place for food, also it was all lit by old fashioned gas lamps inside when me and family ate there.
I loved York with all the museums including Dick turpentine prison cell. Great video guys really enjoyed myself, it's been emotional ✌🏻 gained a new subject today to tag along on your next expedition. Keep safe & keep smiling 😊
Hi 👋 welcome to the channel
That pub sounds fab!
Thanks for watching
Great vlog guys. Hubby and I went to York 2 years ago and loved it. Watching you brought back lots of lovely memories. Thanks for sharing it with us.
ATB to you both and the fur babies. Take care and stay safe.x
Love to read this, glad you enjoyed it Yvonne x
Really enjoyed this 💖
Thank you ❤️☀️
That was a real and revisited favourite amongst UK touring caravan sites with my ex-H and I- well over 30 years ago. I do agree about the lack of surrounding hills and woodland - but you are bang on the doorstep of York City and all its treasures. It's a trade-off - can't have both. If so, I'd be delighted to know. So nice to revisit a much loved site and city with you both. Thank you! x
Hi. Thanks for watching. We agree think action is perfect for exploring 👍👍
We went to the Ivy a couple of weeks ago. They have a special menu that's about £20 each for 2 courses. Really good food and great service. Cheaper than we expected
Sound good to me 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Really loved your tour round York, Thank you
Thank you for watching
We went to Betty’s in Harrogate, I bought a tea caddy which is great but thought the afternoon tea was grossly over rated for the price. We could have had a nicer one at a cheaper price in a smaller establishment.
Hi thanks for watching and sharing your experience 👍
They trade on their name now. Might have been easier to queue and buy two Fat Rascals and take them back with you for tea. Ask me how I know - from experience. x
This just popped up randomly nice vid and you both have a great sense of humour and you have doggies new sub.
Welcome to our channel. We are happy you found us 👍👍👍
Brilliant vlog this week guys you are just getting better and better. Great watch 👍👍👍
Hi. Love to read this, thank you 👍
Always queues outside Bettys , both in York and Harrogate . Try Bettys in Harlow Carr Gardens just outside Harrogate , a little less busy . Loved seeing York again , My husband comes from there and I am a Leeds girl .
Hi 👋 We loooove Leeds
Thanks for watching 👍👍👍
Love York ,lucky to live 25 mins away but great to see new places , great video again love the humour 😂. Ps what is the beautiful song you play at the end of your videos ? You probably said but i can’t get it out of my head ❤
Hi. Glad you like the song, it’s by a band called Houses on the Hill and it’s called World Goes by. You can find it on Spotify 👍 happy singing
We love watching you two..Good tips on where to go .Thankyou .
Thank you great to hear this. Hope you use the tips and make memories 👍
Hi guys
There is a site ( maybe uv been here ) that's 10 mins on bus that costs only £2 each from right outside park
It's called YORK CARAVAN PARK
Its adults only and very peaceful
We wer there in june
Hi. This sounds like a good place for us. I will take a look at this for next time. Thanks you for the recommendation 👍
We were in York last week love it go regular always something to see or do.Bad experience in Grays court awful service.Cross keys is good ate there, pies are great .
Hi. Thanks for watching our video. We love pies. Have a great day
Fabulous vlog. Must put York on my bucket list when I visit UK.
100% yes 👍👍
The mayor doesn’t live in the mansion house..they are allowed to use the small flat at the top if needed but the reside in their own house during their time as mayor
Hi. Thanks for watching
Brilliant video! We’re booked into Rowntree later in the year.
You will love it, location is excellent 👍 Enjoy
Listening to you guys on motorbike intercom is like being there with you. I've been riding really quiet to hear all the jokes. Thousands of them.
I think some are missed there are so many 😂😂😂😂 thanks for listening x
Cool place,bags of history.
The spooky tour sounded good - maybe take a hip flask to help find them mischief ghost fellows :^)
😂😂😂😂👍👍
Yes agree regarding the motor home service point took us a while to sus it out, But we enjoyed York and the campsite
It was really good seeing your experience and acknowledge O we been there ha. We were there late June this year.
Hi. Thanks for watching. We can’t wait to return 👍☀️
Another great video 😊 Thank you xx
Thanks for watching xx
Loved the extra length video ! ❤
Hi 👋 hope you guys are well
Maybe the waiter should have come over and asked if you wanted anything else and then all the misunderstanding could have been resolved as for the lady not apologising is disgusting great vlog as always guys 🍻❤️🍻
Hi Guys, hope you are well and having lots of happy travels 🚐☀️
The whip-ma-whop-ma bit was hilarious 😂😂😂
It was like a scene from Benny Hill….. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Enjoyed again thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
I have had drinks In grays court on numerous occasions ands have always has wonderful service
This is great to hear 👍
Well there are, as you say, plenty of places which are wise enough to welcome all orderly customers. There's always Bettys, b for the ultimate afternoon tea but also for a fun lunch or afternoon tea, take the river cruise. It comes complete with a very informative commentary, but does need to be booked ahead. They definitely make everyone feel very comfortable though.
Oohhhh of course. The afternoon tea cruise, we would have loved that as well! We shall have to return 👍👍
The fire was on t’other side. Do you remember the Blue Peter contest to design the new ceiling “bosses”? I always look for them when I’m back home.
Hi, Absolutely loved Blue Peter, watched religiously and wanted a badge.
Steve Mcqueen rode a Triumph TR6 Trophy motorcycle in the Great Escape and I believe he owned a few Triumphs but according to an article I read one of his favourite bikes was a Husqvana 400cc but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, Great vlogs by the way keep up the good work 😊 from a 71 year old biker (Royal Enfield 650) my bike 😊
Hi, From a 46 yr old biker to a 71 year old biker. See you out on the road soon
My lovely - its Ginnel not Jinnel - with a hard "G" as in Gate, thoughts lovely to see the area through fresh appreciative eyes!
🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍 thanks for watching
Outstanding vid 😀
Thank you 👍👍❤️
Interesting Fact, When you walked through the rooms in Grays Court, my wife had lectures in them rooms when she was at teacher training college in the 80s, before it was turned into a hotel. She also has lectures on the lawned area in the summer. Hope you enjoyed your time in York..
Hi 👋 This is a great history. Love to read this. Have a great day
❤👍❤ Great wee vlog again guy's 🍻
Hi hi. Thank you x
Great video guys,one of mine favourite places to visit for a few days 👍👍👍
Hi 👋 Thanks for watching 👍 Hope you are well
Spent many a hazy drunken night in York as I trained at York St John on Lord Mayors Walk back in the day. It truly is a beautiful city, loved your tour you captured all the best bits cheers, how very rude of that hotel don't deserve punters. Keep em coming guys bet your little four legged friends sleep well, best wishes to you all.
Hello, thankyou for watching and glad you enjoyed.
Those mights out must have some stories - haaha!
Have a great weekend
@@Stchristopherofatlantis definitely haha saw loads of romans at 2.30 am in the morning 🤣🤣🤣😜
Thanks again guys for another fabulous tour, another place that we've not been to but will now, as for the ignorant waitors obviously they don't recognise motorhome royalty lol. Looking forward to more travels with you.❤
Hi 👋 how are you?
Definitely recommend York to you if you like history and quaint cafes 👍👍👍
@Stchristopherofatlantis yes me and my wife like old quirky shops and beautiful churches, can't vouch for my lads though...keep up the good work
Another brilliant vlog. York is one of my favourite places to visit.
Glad you enjoyed watching 👍☀️
Loved your visit to york .. Hopefully gunna go visit there soon 💞
Hi 👋 yes you absolutely must 👍
How dare they snub our favourite you tubers.
We wont be going there in a hurry!
The Bike was a Triumph.
Steve didnt actially do the jump over the wall in the great escape . He wanted to but the producers of thd film wouldnt let him!
So he asked his mate Bud Ekins to do it, so its Bud who actually does the jump.
( I have a Bud Ekins edition Triumph Bonneville)
Keep safe👍
Hi. We love this fact, Cracking bike
Andy = new bike soon 🏍️👍
Each to their own.❤
🤣
How have you only got 13k subs? I love you guys and my sister now subscribing :) keep these coming
Hi. Thanks for this. TH-cam is making us work hard but we love it
Thanks for subscribing and delighted you enjoy xxxx Hope to see you on the road
The Treasurers house is haunted by a legion of Roman soldiers who march through the cellar at knee height.
Wow. Just looked this up. Brilliant. Thank you
Was they dwarf ?
@neilself581 apparently the old road is knee lengh below lol ..been on the local news a few times and other pubs some have apparently even heard cornum ( roman horns ) been blown then seen the romans walk bye
@@markbowman7240 I lived and worked in York. One of my colleagues, usually a sane, calm, rational girl insisted she'd seen the Soldiers marching through. She was very freaked out🤣 The original roads are lower, obviously, and have been built upon several times over the Centuries. As you enter the Jorvik Viking Centre, you will see a wall that's been excavated. It demonstrates the different levels of road, that will have existed during different Historical times. (the archaeological teams obviously know how to decipher this) It always makes me wonder what they'd find, from Viking times, under the opposite Marks and Spencer . Had they demolished THAT, I'd have been quids in 😂
@jacqueline8559 so much history above and below ground .you can feel the history when walking round .
My daughter recently had a stay in York, the breakfast in The Ivy was around the same price as the hotel option and was fabulous x
We must visit the Ivy!!! 👍👍
Happened to me and the wife at a certain beach front hotel in Cornwall horrendous left early life lesson learned
When we did ask we were not listened to so just left. A shame
