885 Miles for Mediocre Fish & Chips! 

Beautiful place of culture. England was once like that

It’s just a church that’s painted blue Classic love it We need more influencers like this

Hi james. My wife is slovak (she is also a subscriber) , So this was a really poignant video. We both enjoyed your walk around and brought great back memories for us. Im with you on the "Bryndzove Halusky" goats cheese dumpling not for me i tried also . My wife likes it and loves the poppyseed gnocchi dish. The food is actully really nice especially my mother in laws when we visit. We are driving over again for new year, about 45 mins from bratislava to a smaller city and very nice. . The language is tough but i can get by with basics now and understand more than can speak and nearly all younger generation speak english. People are very welcoming actually though we both say customer service is a new concept still ... efficient but a bit cold. I greatly recommend the country for a visit and being not well known it is still genuine in many places. Skiing great in winter too , a best kept secret. Recommend you return with Helen and give it a real chance , maybe in better accommodation, it can be found very reasonably priced. Thanks james , gave us a nostalgic evening . Looking forward to where your going next, central europe is great to visit. Stay stoic 😊

Fantastic to see a place I’ve never been to or actually know much about ! Hope you find a meal you enjoy !

I must admit I watch these for Helen. She has so much joie de vivre

Great Vlog. Like your description of the places you visited. Enjoyed the breakfast scenes. Have a great break.

Looks really nice, good weather, nice one James, cheers 👍

Your not on your own James..I can hear Helen voicing an opinion throughout..🤣👍 in my mind..💐

Enjoyed the video great to see you getting around on your own

Hard travelling on your own when your part of ‘Jamelen ‘ , but still better than being on your todd in the uk antique dealing mate, chin up and thankyou for the well edited vlog 👍🏻👍🏻

It’s a nice place, enjoyed the tour.😊

David Bradley is 70 today. Happy Birthday Casper

I didn't break Barnsley law, at 1pm, today. Lunch was provided by Brent, Anne and the ladies at the Y-PAS chippy in Kexborough.

Just a note on sheep’s milk cheese,it’s nothing like goats cheese,which is definitely goaty,sheep’s milk isn’t like that,the Spanish ones are great,and I think most people would like them.There isn’t much in the way of cheese I don’t like,but sheep’s milk cheeses are my favorites.

I'm looking forward to the next video. You said this place reminds you of it. I'm guessing it's my favourite as well.

Really enjoy this, love it when you travel around. Great videos. My husband and I like watching. Thanks for sharing

Good stuff jud... really nice place..... brilliant vlog mate 🎉🎉

I thought it looked a nice place, with plenty to do, the streets looked very clean with no litter. Nice to have the beach and the river running through. Look forward to seeing where you go next, loved the Helen pop up too.

Jame's it's great seeing new places with you. I to miss Helen 👍 Looking forward to seeing where we're off to next. Best wishes and safe travels my friend ✌💕

I think your very brave ❤ and I think I love your independent vlogs

Great videos pal, I went to prague and tried the goulash and i must admit it was one of the best things ive ever eaten, id recommend trying that whilst you are in that part of the world 👍

Top top video mate, you have made me smile. It’s meant to be a cracking place and it looked awesome!! Love the channel pal it’s superb!! …. Smithy

Thanks for that... seems like a lovely city and it's refreshing to see that the people are healthy looking compared to what you see in Canadian big cities which often seem like a collection of the halt, the lame and the fat [whoops, did I say that outloud!]. I did some travelling by myself when younger and it can be very lonely but then again you don't have to cater to someone else's idea of what needs to be seen or not seen,

Modern art, load of tripe! Great video James.👍

Keep on tripping mate.

Hi, Wonderful vlog, looks like a lovely place to visit. Only one plaice 😂 to get fish and chips and thats Yorkshire 👌 That shopping centre could have been Leeds get out while you can, on this occasion maybe best Helen was at home, in a shopping sense 😊 That room looked like a prison cell hope you slept ok. Looking forward to your next vlog wherever you maybe 🤔 Take care, hope to see you both soon. Paul and Joanne 👍 😁

Come back helen james is abit dour without you.

It looks a great place .so clean.I’m glad you took the plunge to just grab a ticket. Well done that man. Proud of you James. 🌅🇬🇧🙋‍♀️

Fab video buddy, be safe on your travels pal

Yer a braver man than me, Gunga Din, tackling that. Hope ya get the reference. He was from your "neck o'woods".

I hope your next stop is Prague. My favorite place in the whole world, its stunning. Definitely an eye-opener for a Nineteen year old Wakey lad, all those years ago.

That Blue church looked liked a massive fucking bouncy castle

Resilience and perseverance!

that fish looks like those 4 in a pack i buy from icleands great vlog

"Is it more expensive I'm from England?" Too funny!

Nice vidio James take care

That looks a really nice place 😊

City looks nice. Food a bit unusual to say the least. Wikipedia says the Blue church was painted different pastel shades initially then they settled on blue. Sorry you had no-one to grumble to. I think we Brits are a lot more smiley and jolly than a lot of other Europeans. The Polish gal at our Post Office never cracks a grin.

Awww really want go here on my list thanks james,been prauge loved it n food yummy stews n rich,if u go xmas its beautiful n Charles bridge . Id not like that strong cheese do u think helen would of? Enjoy always a irish bar to found lol

dobro jutro James. Great vlog

Nice one James ,great vlog a nice place ….

It's just another church painted blue.....James another classic one liner 😂😂😂

Great vlog pal, didn't they have owt moist for them fish and chips 😂

Hi James, Bratislava looks a nice place, that hostel looked a bit hostile :) I thought it might turn into one of those type of horror movies, £40 though, bargain :) - anyway loved the Vlog, that fish n fries !! say no more ... at least you tried a traditional slovak breakfast buddy and shame Helen could not be there but thanks again buddy, really enjoyed walking around Bratislava with you, see you soon, from your biggest number 1 fan, Alec :)

I would love to see you and bald and bankrupt doing a video together, Mr grump and Mr positive 😂. Love your personality and Helen she is a good sport. Looking forward to Benidorm

That reminds me of Deansgate Manchester as you approach it with the music school looking the same as the music school there too.

Quality...he even better when you 2 are back together...hurry up Helen and clock off 😋😉

Going to watch later James take care 🙋‍♀️👋👍

Just discovered you. Spent all Saturday night with my wife watching them. Loved the Octoberfest😂

Great as always regards Howard from Cyprus

what a nice place full of culture cracking video James best wishes Phil

Great video, following and slightly jealous of your adventures. Hopefully following in a similar fashion when my son is old enough. Think you should do a "how it started video" for all of us with envy? Just to show it can be done. Run through your initial setup in van. Which if I remember rightly was made from a TV unit? Good luck on your adventures

Just imagine H doing a parody of Like a Virgin by the Blue Church, you'll soon drop off 😂

Came across your and helens vlogs on u tube keep up the good work guys!

Hi james loving the blog ,I wish I could afford to go away as much as you ,how long was you there ange

This looks like fun just "wingin it" around Europe. I was looking up the poppy seed noodle dish and it had powdered sugar in the recipe so that's why it tasted a little sweet. That looked like a nice little room on the barge, kind of like living in your van. I like walking the less traveled streets of a city and sometimes just get on a local bus and ride around. Well I'm guessing your next destination will be Budapest, a city I'd like to get to someday. Have fun!

Hi James well your hostel wasn’t very welcoming but the city looked ok. Can’t wait to see where you are next video (it’s your favourite city) we shall see. Take care and enjoyed the trip. X

City looks clean James… nice sunny weather 👍.. TC man 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇨🇦🇬🇧

That blue church looks like wedding cake. Any road where's the van ? Supposed to be van life innit ?🤣

What a beautiful city. You were brave doing all that on your own. Really enjoyed your adventure.

Hi James's boy . Yet another great vlog . Could you tell thee what that app was you were using to find your hostel location , one with the arrows ???

Cheers James ,,,nice one matey,,,as they say you don’t know till you’ve tried it ,,,👍🏽

Aye up good video nice one james

Looks a lovely place😊 Can't say the same about the food though, but fair play to you to trying local foods! Looking forward to where you are going next! I'm going to guess, Vienna? Salzburg? Both are beautiful ❤❤

Great video

Good vid looks a nice place. Not sure on the fish n chips looked dodgy lol ready for next vid from ste n dragon 😳

Brilliant walking round new places with you, keep it up mate. Surprised you stayed in a Slovakian hostel, you never watched 'Hostel' movie I presume. 🤣

Am a Brit living and working in Bratislava. It's a nice place, the people are all friendly,the culture is great too. If you speak English there's Office work here,the wages are similar to the UK and rents are cheap.

Oooh somewhere I'd never thought of visiting. Looks beautiful but the folk seem, like uou said, a bit dour! Dont think i saw one smiling face. Loved helens wee face popping up, expecially when you had the Guiness...she is missed but youre also doing great when she cant be there. That fish looked a tad suspect...strange shape - we dont have that shape in Scotland 😂😂. Looking forward to your next destination. X

Well done James!!! 😊

We had a great couple of nights there, if I had known I could have given you some recommendations

beautiful place.. can't match our fish n chips though.. looking forward to the next adventure

Our modern day Alan Bennett. Still chuckling here. Great stuff James.

You are not on your own, we are with you. Thanks for showing us around. ilona 🤩

Looks a great place very interesting

Lovely place Bratty, though I only spent a day there... I haven't peeked at your favourite town yet. I was thinking Vienna maybe, which's were I was staying and only a short cruise down the Danube. If it wasn't, that's a place deffo worth a visit too. Now I'm off to track down the follow up vid and see if I was right :) PS, salad has no place on a plate of F&C's, imho.

What have you done to me James? I had fish n chips the other day. (Try to limit fish n chips to twice a year). But I found myself thinking about them like you do and RATING them! 😵‍💫 Enjoyed the video. I could not have stayed in that last place though. It looked completely airless. Sardine in a can sprang to mind. Glad you were going to stay in a hotel next. Phew! 😊

Cheaper than going to Leeds.

I didn't like where you stopped mind ,but it looked a nice olace to visit ,how long are you there for ange you are doing well in your own 😊

Nice city and walkabout.The best Irish bars are the ones that dont call themselves an Irish bar.Enjoy travels.

James your a star never fail to surprise us.

Hi James, I think that Bryndzove Halusky left a pessimistic taste in your mouth for the day 😂😂 all the best David

It’s only one night.

When I wing it I usually end up in the seedy side of town😂😂😂

You're so like my hubby, miserable git, I love him loads 😅😅look forward to your next video 😊

Can u show the record shops where u r

fantastic a place i would love to go x

Great video James espesially at 28:46 !!!

The city looks so clean & tidy (no litter!) The chips are like French frites not really what we call chips here! And the hostel looks like a cell! 🤣 I hope you found something better for the next night!

James, you're a very funny man, Yorkshire dryness at it's best! 😂 John shuttleworth would be proud! Obviously our humour doesn't go down well there. The line, 'is it more expensive for the English' was classically lost! 😂 Although we all miss Helen, you're doing great on your own. I'm sure Helen's so proud of you too. Your tour of the city was brilliant. I like the turn of genre. Watch your back Walk with me Tim! Where's next I wonder? 🤔 🙏❤️

Living standards seem higher in Bratislava than they do in England.

Another grt video- well done James. Videos with H / better half are even more entertaining but we know she can’t be in all your vids

The adventures of james lovely city Hmm strange fish an chips .. yep deffo book hotel 3rd night u deserve it after the hostel they were even saving power on the light bulb lol x look forward to yr next episode ❤

I like it when you tell us the prices of things.

🙋‍♀️ I liked the Barge, nice and clean and at least you had a great sea view - whereas the Hostel was down several dark corridors, no windows - heaven knows if there was a fire - glad you were safe ‼️ But the 'square' (@ 2.30ish) was a big Circle 🙄

Brave man in Bratislava! Weather looks OK though. Modern History of this country not so savoury - Hlinka guards + politicians in bed with Nazi Germany and you can guess where that led. However, a modern looking place with lots to see & experience. The blue church looks like something out of Hansel & Gretl, very pretty. James you & I know if Helen was with you, she’d still be in the shopping mall. Well done again, a pod in the black hole of Calcutta. Onwards & upwards. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Good show James 👍

Brilliant, really enjoy your videos with or without helen james , you are so down to earth proper barnsley lad. The food looked gross tbh and the room well.......treat your self to a nice hotel in the next video .....im guessing Rome next but probably wrong cant wait to see where you end up. Quick 👋 to Helen....❤

Hi James, it looks very clean, no litter and the pavements are all very pretty, not like our up and down cracked pavements in Donny ! I have some friends that are Slovakians and are lovely, and they have some very nice deserts, think they have sweet tooth like me lol

I remember when you worries about filming yourself. You've come a long way mate. Cheers for sharing. Somewhere most people know nothing about. Have a great adventure 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
