Rant and a Ramble!
A journalist got in touch with me about my film in Horden and then suddenly articles started appearing all over the place quoting me and detailing my video and the town.
I found it interesting/rather funny as I started noticing I was being misquoted quite a lot. The mainstream news sure works in strange ways.
On todays Rant and Ramble, I talk about how all of this came about, and also go on to talk about the news in general.
It appears that with my cheap house films, I have stumbled across a topic which was not touched upon, yet resonates deeply. The majority of people in the UK either don't know or didn't know that places like Horden exist. I was included in that category. Seeing street upon street of abandoned and derelict houses, at the same time being told by the main stream media that we have a housing shortage in the country, just seems crazy.
I also visit the tiny abandoned house I saw in winter, I am hoping to do more on this place in the future should some plans come to fruition.
Thanks for watching, always appreciated

Congrats man... your content is a lot more insightful than most "news" sources these days 😁
He is,
And all those other 'news sources' he mentioned are owned by a single entity so they all basic the same person.
The illusion of media choice is paper thin
Appreciate this thanks 😀
@@wanderingturnip Nice country side you are walking in now...
No Guardian journalist ventures North of Watford.
@@benbeasant3443 How dare you! *just kidding, you're 100% correct!* :D
Maybe the ‘journalists’ could remember what you do is what they’re supposed to be doing. Anyway congrats! That video really hit me and I sat down with my boys and told them about it. You are right this place has been forgotten by everyone.
'None of the politicians in London know places like Horden exist'. Thats the quote for the papers! Love your content (you were on the street where I grew up looking at the cheapest house in London!), and the Turnip origin story!
Oh no way. I bet that house you grew up in is worth something nuts now then
@@wanderingturnip Ah, wow! Hiyaa... 👋🏼😊 Full disclosure, my house was about 150m further down from White Hart Lane but the same kind of 2-bed, Victorian terrace... Seeing you do that walk up from the station was a bit trippy! 🤣 That house was bought for £34k in 1985 and sold for 10x that in 2022. Pretty solid condition but still, absolutely wild!
Well done you. You are a genuine journalist.
That’s very kind! 😀
Stay away from main stream media they are mostly just "faces and trite phrases". No News News.
Congratulations! I think you are a terrific journalist! You have a refreshing outlook and speak from the heart. You are asking the questions that need to be asked. Thank you.
Cheers Sue 😀
? Doesnt "terrific" mean awfull? You are great🤗
Excellent! Well done on bringing awareness about this situation with housing in the UK. We are in Canada, and my husband and I really enjoy your channel.
Well thanks for watching! I’d love to make it over to your part of the world one day to make some films 🤞
@@wanderingturnip plenty of abandoned farm buildings (and entire towns) that can be explored here in Alberta alone.
Your explanation of modern ‘journalism’ is spot on and I can see the positive influence your mum and dad have had on you.
The more I watch the more I like you and your channel. You are so likeable, and it is great that your hometown and surroundings get known to everyone in your country. Well done :-)
Really enjoy your videos and rants and not surprised your parents are journalists... your videos are unbiased journalism in my eyes
Hope you got some recognition for highlighting the issue in the first place.
Well done 2x👍
Great that the BBC are doing a follow up. I am in Australia and I told a Scottish friend about that video, neither of us had any idea but were outraged that nothing was done for the town's people. Love your work.
Yeah it will be interesting to see what they do with it 👍
Coming from north east of England,I think you did an excellent video on showing how it is in Horden.I believe the main news channels and some journalists have lost touch with people,the way they report things.
I love how you raise awareness of turd towns. The poverty in a first world country is shocking! I grew up in the Lakes ( escaped from Blackpool aged 3) in Keswick and even though it looks posh it hasn't got any facilities for local young people or families! We need to shout out about rich places that really aren't supporting local people at all. Death of the swimming pool, death of the youth club. Tory cuts! I work in early years so i have seen a lot of services cut since coming into this profession in 2004. I know things change over time but its like death of a community to be honest. Keep doing what your doing 🎉
The video on Doncaster really opened my eyes to the demise of the high street and expect that to be main news at some point....
I’m starting me series on the death of the high street next week so keep an eye out for that 👍👍
Well deserved recognition 👏🏼
Thank you 🙏
I subscribed some time back--before you were famous! After seeing one video, I then had to go back and watch all your other videos. You are a real person, talking about real things. Like the houses, and the pubs, and the smokestacks. And the walls! I've seen so many other videos that showed the walls, but everybody else just walked past them like they didn't exist! Thank you for making me start seeing things in a different way.
Thank you for watching! Buzzing you have enjoyed all my vids, I know there’s a lot of different stuff, and hopefully much more to come 😀
I just love your content.. it's refreshing and inspiring! That's why you get the ripple effect.. 👍Your enthusiasm is contagious! 👏
😀😀 what a lovely comment! Really keeps me motivated when people say kind things like this so cheers 👍👍
I'm absolutely creased at the Daily Mail referring to you as "The Burnip" 🤣
I discovered your channel when you posted the Hordon video and instantly subscribed.
Thank you 🙏
Cheers for watching Craig 😀
Go for the platinum button now 🎉
Spot on! And as for the Daily Fail getting your name wrong, well we all know about them and their sloppy, lazy "journalism" don't we? Nice to see the little abandoned house again. When are you coming to see Italy's finest? 😜
My husband and I are so glad we have been watching you from near the beginning. Now you are even in Brazilian news! Obviously in Portuguese.
Well thanks for all the support 😃 and ace, I’ve reached another language 👍👍
Who remembers that Fast Show sketch with the bloke walking about various places- brilliant!
Us Southerners don't have a clue what's happening up North! Hearing about the £1 houses, a few years back, absolutely shocking. I appreciate your videos putting things into perspective. Looking forward to seeing the dry wall video 👍
sorry? is the north a different planet. I find the southerners to be unfriendly and generally ignorant about anything, let alone the 'north'
@@petercross6960 Calls southerners unfriendly while being unfriendly.
@@monkey39128 sorry mate didn't mean to sound unfriendly. any time you are in Lancashire hit me up for a good cup of tea
Hordon finally getting something good for once 😂
You can be sure that 99% of people in County Durham don't know that places like Horden exist either.
That’s wonderful…. Congratulations on the publicity. Your much better then you thought! Excellent work. Great videos! Best of luck for your adventures.
Congrats pal, you are a freshness and honesty to the world of TH-cam and media . Onward and upward
Thank you for this mate 👍👍
I'm sure you'll have around 100k by the end of this year. Interesting insights your bringing great topics to us all. Keep up the good work. I really appreciate your efforts and hard work in making your videos.
You will be a TH-cam star sooner rather than later. I for one really enjoy your content. You have brought to light the plight of ex mining towns. You'll get a lot more exposure in the main stream media. Your Providing great content. Interesting times ahead for you.
Ah mate thank you for this. Keeps me motivated to make stuff when I get nice comments so I really appreciate it. It’s a fun world TH-cam and the support I get from you lot is ace and all I need 🙏🙏 who knows where we will end up but I’m so buzzing with where I am at the moment 😀
Determination will take you all the way there Mr Turnip…. great, fresh and down to earth approach…Keep On Keeping On
I’ve followed your videos for the last few weeks. Makes me realise how little I know about the rest of the Uk outside of london where I’m from!
Hey cheers for watching. I love to explore all over and I feel the same. I seem to stumble across things that you just wouldn’t expect to be here 👍
Congratulations, hopefully it gives you a boost, and hopefully it reminds London about the rest of England.
Congratulations! Great exposure for you, and hopefully for Hordon and Doncaster! Keep up the great work!❤
Bluebells 💐 that brings back happy memories wandering through the fields in Kent growing up. Hop gardens, apple trees and poppy fields 🙏💕💕🐨🐨🦘
Your videos are strangely comforting, kind of routine recently to watch your vids at night with a hot chocolate. It's really sad to see what's happening in parts of this country and you're spot on about the media. I almost spat out my drink when you mentioned how a journalist was referring to you as "The Burnip" hahaha
I love a Rambling Rant. Interesting that it was an area for bee hives. BTW. WT has a Patreon now. A great way to support the channel
Congratulations David, I am so glad you received recognition for your video. I am in the USA so I appreciate you taking us around your country. I love your content and especially about the stone walls. I find great artistry in them also. Wish you all the best and success you deserve.
Another fantastic vidio , great to see the nature
Cheers Andy 😀
Said your talents wouldnt go unnoticed keep it up
Ah cheers Gary. Thanks for always watching my stuff it’s massively appreciated 👍👍
In a distant faraway land a legend was born, some say he was myth, some say he was fashioned from the earth itself , whilst others believe he was an ancient deity but all knew his name..The Burnip.....(Spelled like turnip)
😂
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Awesome
Really enjoy yr vlogs👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌻🦘🌻🦘
The reason why, is because your videos are absolutely brilliant!!!
😀😀
Cracking job The Burnip! You’ve helped to highlight a shameful situation and with luck the correct agencies will now get involved to fix the problem 👏👏
Now get yourself up to to Cragg Vale and Heptonstall to show us the film locations from The Gallows Pole, please 🙏 😁
Ooo you know I have been planning something to do with that, keep an eye out 👍👍
Well done Swede, maybe I should stop calling you Swede now, as a southern now living in Lancashire, down south we call them Swede not turnip, It was meant as an endearment.
You are our very own Simon Reeves of Hebden Bridge. I do hope the BBC give you something for the idea and content. I love your channel it's down to earth and honest.
Good luck Turnip. Cheers Milly
Nah you can keep calling me Swede, it always makes me laugh 😀👍👍
Maybe you'll start an investment spree into Horden!
Funnily enough grew up not far from there, before moving further south after Uni. Personally I think the place has a lot more going for it than Peterlee and with the reopening of the railway station for employment at Newcastle, Sunderland or Teesside its not the worst.
Even if someone just needed a house these days to stop paying a year or two's rent to save up for something else it would be a stop gap. That £5k might cost another £20k on a shoe string fixup, but plenty of people are paying 000's to live in damp ridden flats....
Well done mate, big respect to you, I always enjoy your content!!!
Thanks Anthony 😀
Yeah Well done David!! Knew you would get noticed, your a natural so bound to attract attention! 😆
The Burnip, haha I love it.
Nice one the Burnip!! 😂
😂 the Burnip say cheers 👍👍
Well done, great content and insight on UK areas
Thank you !
Your incredible, pointing out the housing situation due to the industry loss, I was very interested in your vlog on the area, as I was from mining village.
Great video.Thank you.
Nice work mate, only discovered the channel the other day, great content!
Ah cheers for watching mate! Lots more to come hopefully 👍👍
Congratulations David, well earned.
Great news !
One of the best doccy channels on YT. Captivating and interesting stories with real facts. Hope you go from strength to strength.
Thank you mate I really appreciate that 😀
I hope your channel will get more subscribers , I like how interested you are in the history of your country .
Congratulations, well done!
Gooood, your content is so good. My parents are from lancashire and they've been watching your content here in Canada and they're abhorred by what is happening. But Im pleased your content has gotten notice
Cheers for that Ben 😀 glad you all like my stuff
@@wanderingturnip they really do. They left the UK almost 30 years ago and were Publicans working for Marstons and Borders, and the one on the pubs you did, especially as my Dad is from Mancs and they had a pub in Darwen, was something they enjoyed. my Dad said it was sdad what happened to the industry over there.
Well done love watching your travels 😊
That’s a turnip for the books 😂🎉
Good for you! Your videos are very insightful and interesting, keep up the great work, best channel.🎉
Thank you Jane 😀
David, you’re a journalist, through and through. You have a rare inquisitiveness, perhaps inherited from the same attitudes your parents have.
Who, what, when, why…..I missed one.
Your dry stone wall videos prompted me to learn a tiny bit more than I knew before & within days, I passed that on to my oldest grandson, who is four. He asked questions about EVERYTHING and he does internalise what he learns. He surprises his parents and his grandparents with statements, links and further questions a few weeks later. He’s a deep thinker, perhaps taking after me (I’m a scientist and I was of that ilk before I had any training).
Keep your freshness, your lack of cynicism, your questioning, your outward bound viewpoint.
By the way, your Stoodley monument video. Did you see the weird skies?? I shared some stills with a pilot friend. For some reason, he doesn’t want to chat to me about this. I think he’s concerned that I’ll inadvertently trap him. I’m not on his case. I’ve got eyes and a memory.
Keep wandering, Mr Burnip. Great name. Mine’s Yeadon (as in Yorkshire). My mums family name was Cockayne, nearby in Yorkshire.
Brilliant... The Burnip, down to earth as ever :)
Your channel is unique W.T and that is rare in this age .
You keep it real man, that's what really counts imo👌✌👍🙏
Well done 😊
Man i have just found your channel that is really awesome for you your channel is really awesome keep up the good work man
Hey thanks mate! Lovely comment to read 😀 I’ll do my best to keep putting good stuff out there 👍
@@wanderingturnip I hope we get more of these type of blogs i will watch more of your blogs your blogs are really awesome and very informative
Well done mate, I read the the report in the online papers.
Please could you do a video on low cost places to rent with an actual infrastructure? Finding a reasonablly priced property, that accepts pets is sooooo difficult. I'm in the West Midlands. ❤
Great video and great sentiments regarding the ‘ media ‘ That abandoned tiny house seems to be calling you, see if you can get a good deal on it and turn it into your dream bothy !!!
I am so glad to have found your channel Wandering Turnip. Excellent job! You are so respectful and honest with your content.
It was a great vid so makes sense it went a bit viral. Congrats and well-deserved!
Thanks for this 😀
It's mad how everyone is Calling you by name now. Well done wandering turnip 😊
Great to see something coming from it! One subject that never comes up in any news piece about mining villages or mining areas is that they were funded/subsidised by the company that mined them, right up to the present with quarries paying into the local councils. It's a subject that really needs to be addressed as it feeds into why there is a north/south divide in government funding. The government didn't need to fund areas that had companies subsidising them and now feel resentment for why money now needs to be redistributed to those areas.
Ahh that is really interesting. I’ll get doing some more research on this as I’m going to be doing a lot more films on these types of places, so cheers 👍
@@wanderingturnip For the area around Horden you only have to look to Peterlee, once a saviour of the mining people as Peter Lee (the person); where they tried to close the villages and channel people into larger towns to better look after "people". At one time the priority of local councils was to close the mining villages as they cost too much to look after. In the 80-90-00's period it was normal to see Council provided services demolished, banks closed, facilities removed. People refused to leave the villages to live in a new town. Now the council have accepted that the proto villages installed 100+ years ago are here to stay. More or less...
Congratulations on your wonderful and outstanding success! You must be thoroughly chuffed by this well deserved success. I first discovered your presentations through the one on the old abandoned beekeeper' house, and have been a subscriber ever since. The boarded up town houses saddened me: I never got to see that part of the UK when I lived there (southern part and Wales ) But, having grown up in Northern New England 《USA), your tramps through the English countryside touched a responsive chord. So I wish you continued success and fame. And I assure you that whatever you choose to explore and film will be a pleasure to me.

eI I
Thank for this. It means a lot when I hear from people who enjoy all the different aspects to my channel. That keeps me wanting to find new stuff to be inspired by. I find TH-cam can push certain videos more than others, but often the nicest comments come from some which I never expected to do well.
So massive thanks 😀😀
"the burnip" lol. Well done, mate
Funny isn’t it 😂
Good job 👍
Hopefully this press will finally create some change in Hidden. The area needs help and support, the way you highlighted that was respectful.
Please can people now not just see a tag line of cheap property and deprivation. instead see what can be done to improve the place
Great content!! I binged a load of your videos a couple of weeks ago!! Brilliant production value, Brilliant content, Completely engaging, Truly compelling!!!
Take a bow Sir you are a Legend 🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I have it on good authority that ITV are looking for a new front Women/Man/None Gender Specific Presenter, however you may be over qualified!! Sitting on a sofa and talking fluffy 💩. I hope you Willoughby staying on TH-cam!! if I see your sponsored by a certain boarding company that you’ve previously may or not mentioned 😂😂or strangely Taylor Wimpy 😳Stay true to your beliefs ✊🏿 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Ah cheers for that mate. Always nice to be called a legend 😀 thank you for watching all my vids 🙏
Nice one lad! Love watching your videos.
David , your videos are very interesting and informative full marks and little Ted is also a STAR x
Thanks from me and Ted 😀
Love your story!
Brilliant mate, I watch all your videos
Thanks Paul 😀
That’s really cool 😎 well done, my nickname as kid was illy which turned out a late relation from west Yorks Ray Illingworth (famous cricketer) in his day , nowadays people would think of the Coffee brand 😂 your Channel name is cool.
"The Burnip" 😂😂😂 dying! 😂😂😂
Congrats keep it real 👌
Good Work mate, I started following you when you had less then 1k subs, just shows you need that 1 video that gets noticed and the channel explodes. But fair play dude, this is only the beginning a great journey 👊🏼❤️
Oh nice well thanks for the support from the beginning.
And you are right, it was that Burnley video for me, it completely pushed my channel which is buzzing. No idea why the algorithm grabbed that but can’t complain 😂
Appreciate it a lot mate thanks for watching 👍👍
Beautiful walk❣️ Every person can make a difference. You matter.✨♥️🙏🏻 I love the name David. I had a son named David. He went missing years ago. 💔
congrats mate, lets hope them at the top, think up something to do about this problem, cos most towns in the uk are using nice green fields on the outskirts, to build new houses that we don,t need, while houses that we already have are sitting empty & will prob end up getting demolished, its same near me, old terreced houses are sat empty while their building new houses everywhere.
Certainly, the politicians that represent those areas must (I hope) know the conditions. The question now is, how do they see revitalization? Are they even in tune with their represented populations? I suspect the answer is no.
I no longer think they have any intention of revitalising anything.
I believe they’ve written us off and they’re moving the wealth out of the country.
I’m absolutely not joking.
I fear that “the elites” have decided that The West is done & we’re surplus.
If they think so, they can leave it to us.
Stumbled upon this video, love the little stone house all run down and forgotten. Where are you hiking? Is this a park? I'm in America so idk where you are.
fantisimo from LV NV congratulations
Love that I got support all over the world 👍👍
Good lad - love your stuff.
Thank you 🙏
Well done keep going
I shall thanks for watching 😀
Thats fabulous your content is super interesting :)!
Thank you 😊
I'm looking forward to more videos & insight from "The Burnip."
You should come to Nuneaton town centre. A lots of the shops are empty.
You done a fantastic video mate! All of your videos are brilliant too! What if you could link up with other TH-camrs like Bald & Bankrupt and Backpacker Ben, and do some sort of collaboration! There's potential for some more brilliant stuff there imo! Whatever you do, best of luck and keep going with this great work, and thank you for raising awareness! 👍
Yeah mate, I have seen the different articles in various papers and I knew immediately it was your content! Well done on the video success bud and thank you for highlighting the dreadful state of Horden. Thumbs up again bud!
Thanks for the support I appreciate it a lot 👍👍
Well done. Why can't UK Govt buy these cheap houses, do them up & allocate all this vacant housing to people need. What is the problem? Thanks David ❤❤❤
You are a hopeless dreamer. This government, in particular, is not interested in helping those in need.
We constantly hear about a housing crisis here in the UK or how young people can't get on the property ladder because housing is so expensive.
The real truth is that the economy is unequally distributed in terms of quality of jobs and wages that housing problems are highly regional.
There's a lot of northern towns around where I live that had coal mines and other industries close which almost wiped out their entire economy at the time and sent local unemployment from 5% to 70% overnight. These communities never received any compensation and have suffered from a lack of funding ever since leaving them far behind.
An example is my house that is worth around £120k, if I transplanted it where my stepson lives it would be worth £600k.
Where I live we still get a third less government funding per person than London and we come out as just outside the top third of the most deprived communities in the UK.
How does government in London expect communities like us to go net zero in 2030 without the massive investment we need? Heck, we don't even have a comprehensive, reliable bus service in town let alone train services. Everything is left to private companies who won't run unprofitable bus routes. We don't have such as tfl here. Having a personal car is essential if only for getting to work when you work shifts like me. There's no night buses.
When we are literally decades behind the likes of London, how do they expect us to make the huge leap of net zero by 2030? Heck, we need 30 or 40 years, if we got the same money from now, just to catch up to where London is now. There's no way areas like mine can go net zero in the next 50 years at least. We are just so far behind and despite getting levelling up funds, we still get less per person of government funding than London.
This disparity cannot go on forever.
The economy has to be spread out more. Companies if necessary, must be forced to create so many of their jobs in these more deprived areas to bring in more jobs and employment, more wealth, more investment and such to create the ability start the move forward.
This would also spread out demand for housing so housing prices would become more even over the whole country instead of 40 people trying to get one rental flat in likes of London whilst rows of houses sit empty and boarded up in places like Horden.
