Okay so I watch RU-vid videos while practicing a musical instrument. I queue them up and let em go. When I get to yours I always have to crank the volume just to hear you. That introduces noise, but worse is when the next video in the queue comes up. It just about blows the speakers unless I get to it quickly enough to turn it back down. This is a problem on all your channels.

@bnigh5495 3 года назад

@@saddestchord7622 I have had that problem before but not on Simons' channels. I have a TruVolume setting on my speakers that tries to fix that by making sudden changes in volume even out (mostly for commercials). I have found it doesn't work that great, but it helps for RU-vid videos.

I found this interesting for I live in the town of Worksop, North Nottinghamshire. Worksop is called "The Gateway To The Dukeries" due to our location and the amount of stately homes around our area e.g. Clumber, Welbeck and Thoresby. You mentioned the army using Sherwood and can remember seeing tanks cross the road as you approach Sherwood visitors area. Welbeck Abbey used to be an army cadet place where military officers were trained, now has a brewery that produces some good ales. We are steeped in history in this neck of the Britain and the town itself has a church that used to be a monastery dating back to 1103, this being The Worksop Priory Church.

I think the first fire actually hit in the late 90's. I remember seeing the fire engines go screaming past my house. I saw some new timbers go up for a new roof a few weeks back so maybe it's actually going to get restored. Be careful if you visit the area with pets. The new owners supposedly put poison down to deter dog walkers and are thought to be the cause of several dog deaths due to poisoning in the area. Also be wary of woodland car parks after dark unless you're into dogging.

2:55 Simon's writers have a habit of suggesting that Denmark isn't a part of Scandinavia, as I have heard it in other videos too. Yet it is. And in fact Snorre Sturlason, the Icelandic saga author, called all Scandianvian languages the "Danish tongue" in Heimskringla from c. 1230. Thus -by placenames are equally as likely to be Danish as the -thorpe ones, also when looking at geographical spread of the name types. Also, just check a map of Denmark to see how many -by placenames we have here! Admittedly, -torp/-thorpe endings do appear to be more common in the the historical Denmark than in the rest of Scandinavia, so it is may be more or less correct to directly associate those with Denmark. But still. Denmark IS in Scandinavia!
