If you wanna see a thriving high street for once come to burntisland Scotland. We must be an exception because our high street has never had so many shops and there are local initiatives to spend locally
We love your videos! We live in Canada, my mum came here when she was a teenager with her parents. She sees these videos and is shocked at the prices and how sad some places have become! She used to go back every year, but now, I go and come back with the news for her. Your videos give her, and us, such interesting and informative insight to what is happening in her home country now. I just returned from the Uk a few weeks ago. I loved everything I saw. If my family would follow, I would move there in a heartbeat! I have a question, that I asked before but I did not receive an answer. I was wondering why, when you purchase a home, say for about 400 thousand pounds, why do you still have a lease on it? When we actually buy a home here, it is ours. If it is a condo, there will be monthly condo fees that cover the maintenance of the property, like grass cutting, and snowplowing. But when we lease a property here, it is not ours, we don't own it, we cannot sell it. It is like renting every month, and you don't pay a fee for it. Just wondering if anybody could explain that to me!
This brought me to tears. I was born and raised in London, and left 8 years ago to find something new. It was already too expensive and on its knees then, but coming back last month with my wife I could feel the sadness on the face of the people in the place where I grew up. I hope we can create a new country full of life. It is so painful to see it like this.
Something you missed here - as you were at the "Trip to Jerusalem" you should've been shown the Park Estate just behind it - largely populated by students now, but the only estate in Nottingham to still have gas street lighting... (oh, & the Robin Hood statue? the original arrow was made from copper, hence why it was stolen...)
With a decent and COMPETENT council Nottingham could be even better. I’ve lived in a few places around England (Midlands, West and North Yorkshire) but settled in Nottingham around 20 years ago. So many problems are caused by the incompetent, car hating, money wasting Labour council and it’s a sad state of affairs that it will never change.
Just wanted to say how happy I am to see the legendary Gary Prail and his great new record/clothes shop FAC1968 featuring in your video on Nottingham. I encourage anyone in Nottingham to check it out as you will get a warm welcome and there's something for everyone in there. It's no understatement to say that Gary has supplied some of the best DJs around with music for decades. His previous amazing shop Funky Monkey was hugely influential on the scene in Nottingham and beyond. I clearly remember him encouraging me to start making records back in 2004, suggesting things to rework and remix when I was just starting out as a producer. He also connected me with distributors when I started pressing up records and let me have the records delivered directly to his shop so they could be collected by the distributor. He used to let me test my fledgling productions on the shop sound system on the CD player - which was often a rite of passage if someone 'big' like Charles Webster walked through the door and they were suddenly listening to your dodgy demo! As someone who's had a 20 year + career making records (some of which did ok) - I honestly credit Gary hugely in helping me get started - without his support and encouragement, I would have found it even more challenging (it's not the easiest thing to do successfully believe it or not). So yeah just wanted to give Gary a huge shout out for being kind and generous - I'm sure I'm not the only one with memories of this. We need more Garys in the world - people who recognise and respect other peoples dreams and want to help them - this is in short supply! Danny Berman (Red Rack'em)
We have the same issue in some places in New Zealand, its unfortunate but in some places its not feasible to save the houses if there's nothing solid to mount the erosion defences to. Those giant lego blocks they are putting place look great but give it a year or two and a couple of decent storms and the sand will wash out from underneath them and they will fail. Their best bet would be to plant coastal grasses which holds the sand in place and protects it from the wind but it takes years.
It was always cheap and cheerful, a working class resort for northern mill workers etc. Then from the 1960s package holidays to Spain were introduced as a cheaper alternative with good weather and cheap booze. It's been a long and steady decline for Blackpool.
I was raised in the UK, I lived in cities like; Leeds, Newcastle and Wolverhampton, never lived in London but it must be really hard to see what's happening right now😢😢
I dont think you took his estate agent comment too well going off how your reacting here 😂 your certainly on a high here 😂 ignore the haters. You're great, they probably just jealous. Love your videos 😊
I'm from Burnley and I'm sick of these videos that show Burnley in a poor way. What about the nice area s of Burnley ?? It's no more dangerous than any way else !!!!!!!!!
Nottingham has seen justice after this video. Concise and comprehensive summary of Nottingham. Well done Rob for making people aware that Nottingham still has a lot going for it.
It isn't just the George that's dying off in Grantham. Everything is. The council seem hellbent on just letting things close or get shut down with nothing to it's place; then they complain about teenagers mulling around and causing issues, all because these teenagers have nowhere to go and nothing to do. Drugs (especially weed) is on the rise, the market is a shadow of it's former self and the high street is mostly Turkish barbers, foreign shops and kebab houses. It's awful here, there's no wonder we go to Newark or Nottingham if we actually want a day out.
I'm quite behind, mid-season two. Don't worry I ruin plots for myself so no spoilers I haven't already done for myself. Lol great video. I love Rhys Connah lol he plays such a sweet little boy and he's intuitive but still innocent and forgiving and tries to understand why Gran does what she does. Well done to him! Great video. I found it on Reddit and I was kinda mad it only had three comments lol I look forward to the ending. Tommy Lee Royce drives me crazy ugh I just want to punch him lol
What? Nottingham is one of the few cities where different ethnicities and groups have got on decently since the 60s. It's in our blood here mate. None of this is new to us. Furthermore the reason for boarded up shops and malls - ACROSS THE WESTERN WORLD - is the rise of the internet. Train your braincell a bit better
As a Grantham resident with a friend who worked in a shut-down cafe in the George Center, they had to relocate because the owners apparently live in London and charge extortionate prices which can be compared to prices down there, only problem is we're a small town with an insignificant population size compared to the capital

I've said many times, I am certain by the end of this decade, the UK will predominantly be a 3rd world country. In many parts of the UK, it now pretty much is like the 3rd world. For example places like Birmingham where the council has gone bankrupt and many diseases such as typhoid are coming back. Crime is out of control, there is no law and order, people living rough, rubbish pilled up everywhere. If this doesn't resemble the 3rd world, I don't know what does. No company wants to do business here anymore because the taxes, rates and costs are too high it just isn't worth it. No incentive to try and prosper in this country. Many of the well educated, decent and law abiding people are leaving so this then causes brain drain where there are no skilled workers. The government just don't care and only worry about lining their own pockets. It will only go from bad to worse and if I could leave tomorrow, I would be gone. My advice to anyone is if you can get out, do it. Life is too short. Why on earth would people want to visit here is beyond me but again I'm certain soon word will get around just how much of a dump this place is and then people won't want to come. This will also affect GDP as tourism brings in a lot of economy. Some countries that you would never think would be doing well are now up and coming, but the UK will continue to decay. By 2040, maybe 2050, the UK just won't exist as we once knew it. It will be a far distant memory for those whom can remeber how it was, lets say in the 80s/90s. I feel sorry for the children growing up in this country as they have no future.
