      Im not an englishman nor do i dring tea often, but tea is not rotten leaves, tea is mixture of multiple plant drugs (drugs in pharmacy term. May reffer to leaves, root, or any other plant part with healing properties.) Dried up, grinded or just fine cut depending on the plant and ultimately put into hot or boiling water. Nothing is rotten, and tree leaves are not used for tea. pharmacognosy is a fun subject.
      Edit: you should probably filter your tea, or you can use drugs already packaged in filther papeg bags.

    My best translation goes:
    "No, you know on Osborne Road near the restaurants, there's the square bushpieces (might be square pots with ornamental bushes, or might mean bushes trimmed to have corners), there's the circle (might mean bushes are arranged in a circle, or that you've got to walk around them in a circle, or might be a circle unrelated to the bushes but nearby), they're near the phonebox.

(Think he's suggesting the dogs pee outside the restaurant on the pots that the bushes are in and he's filling the watering can so he can wash it away each time it happens).
    EDIT: The phrase at the end might be 'for the dog's widdle' which would mean for the dog pee.
    It's been pointed out that he might have said "postbox" instead of "phonebox". The phonebox nearby isn't particularly close to any building that matches his description, but the postbox is.

      But I still find it deeply ironic that the greatest minds in science have concluded that everything exploded out of nothing 😂
      That's not any less ridiculous than saying God made the universe in seven days, even though he made the sun somewhere in the middle, meaning there were no days yet 😅
      Anyhow, the point of my comment was merely that science is indeed not immune to dogma.
      And that the big bang may have been God's fart 🤣

Actually this is because the celts that roamed these lands gave yew an special significance and all important reunions where done around the biggest of these trees, often in the center of a town, which led to build the churches in said places.

    Moses was told to take his shoes off because he was on holy ground, so if they took their shoes off on the street, it would seem the place was held in very high reverence.
    Commenting this now in case I forget, I’ll delete it if he does go over it in the video though.

    This was really interesting. I've passed this ruin a few times and never really stopped to see what it was. I'd love to see you do similar videos on all the other ruins around Newcastle.
