I think it's a title used to attract people who maybe aren't interested in history as much as hearing about disaster. It could just say Victorian beaches and I'd watch but most need more to grab attention. I could be wrong
I love they tracked down someone that actually has lived long enough to remember it themselves. That 102 year old gentleman was as quick as any 35 year old. Absolutely amazing
10:00 What a good looking 102 year old man! He looks younger than most men, who are good 30 years younger than him. And he is still mentally so young. Wonderful!
It's often like thatz if they reach 100 y they are often clear in ther mind & indipendent, they often have the "go with the flow" mentality, little things just don't upset you when you been around for so long. I work i elderly care.. It's wierd to go from a 103 y old lady, so fast on her feet that us staff have a hard time keeping up with her.. to a 60 something, with multiple severe conditions, barely able to move.. I've had a few 100+ y old clients, they are similar in many ways
He's probably continue to exercise and keep himself busy long after conventional retirement age that's usually the case with all of these men and women
i think because a lot of todays tech was invented in this era, the victorians was the test dummies so we could be some what safer today 🤷🏾♀️ gotta admit they were both smart and incredibly stupid lol
@@chiquitabanana2272 Every time I see the words "Victorian" and "Deadly" together, I think "Yay! Susannah's back!" Not saying I'm disappointed with this one, but... I did kinda sorta say "Oh. Who's this guy?"
I've been to one really crowded beach (Mediterranean Sea, Italy) and for the life of me I can't understand how anyone could enjoy it. All the magic of the waves and sand is completely erased by having people so close to you on all sides that you could almost touch them, and have to listen to their conversations, arguments, whining kids, etc. I couldn't wait to leave; even the boring hotel room was better than that.
Sorry, but that is on you. There are beaches in Italy that you can actually enjoy, if you only researched enough. I hate the most prominent places and found several cheaper, hidden jewels just by the simple act of doing my research.
It depends, if you go to a more tourist prone area or to a "famous" beach then yeah it can get pretty crowded especially in August. I don't really mind it tho i think it's part of the experience 🤣 I'm from Southern Italy.
@@LathropLdST I'm sure you're right about about better beaches in Italy, but in this case it wasn't on me; I was the guest of someone else who was making all the decisions.
It's not just Italy it's all over the world at any resort, if you don't want to be around all those people and get sick from the crowd.🧏🤒 Yes your right you don't have a choice if you're a guest. But if you have a choice research google and RU-vid and pick a beautiful beach with very few people but it has more things/ activity to do. 🏖️🧳🏄🏊🤿🩱🩳🌃🌭🍾🥂🍹
My dad is a veteran "winterbather" he gos & swims in the sea every day of the whole year. We live in Finland, so maybe 3momths out off a year, the water is not freezing.. but he dislikes it when it's a nice temp, it's better when there is an ice sheet to him..
That gentleman brought back a fond memory of my grandmother, in those days. When I was a kid, I asked her why she didn't go swimming with me(at my great uncles cottage), and she always said, she wore the knees out of her bathing suit, and didn't have another one. gramma had a lot of funny stories RIP gramma and grampa, I miss you. Peace
It’s so wonderful that you were able to feel a piece of your grandmother after she’s passed. I’m truly sorry for your loss, but I’m glad you can relive those happy memories and keep her spirit alive.
I never realized that piers were such a big deal? I grew up in Brooklyn NY. The coney Island pier is still standing. I was there daily. It was free it's also not beautiful anymore. But nothing is in coney Island. Their hay day was the victorian era by far.. then there are the piers in Manhattan.. just tons of them. And in NJ shore.. I guess I took it for granted. I simply had no idea it was a big deal!
This is a ridiculous come-on title for a piece that had very little “deadliness” in it and was instead a nice historical review of the history of beach-going in Britain.
I agree. Unfortunately, this channel often uses misleading titles. Sensationalism. The real topic of this program was much more interesting than the title. 👏
I think my favorite part is when the little girl looks super disgusted that 'Boris' was stabbed. Lol. 😆 I think modern kids probably don't get that sort of humor.
Arson is such a terrible thing. Even if a fire is put out the water damage usually finishes destroying a building. Many times the building isn't even the worst loss. Irreplaceable and sentimental items are lost forever. If/when an arsonist is caught I think a 20 year, minimum, prison sentence should be applied. Depending on what was burned or if lives were lost life without parol maximum. Btw, I believe in exceptions to every rule/law. That means if say someone is charged with arson for burning down their collapsing barn cuz it's cheaper than tearing it down, maybe a fine is more appropriate.
The ice cold water is very similar to the cryogenic booth. Also you’ll find athletes take “ice baths” to help rejuvenate their bodies after working out as well as after their games.
I remember going onto the Steel Pier in Atlantic City, N.J., USA when I was a child. It was spectacular. I can only imagine what this great pier must have been like.
MY MUM USED TO BE ON BRIGHTON BEACH WHEN SHE WAS A LITTLE GIRL , AND SHOWED ME A PHOTO! THIS VIDEO WAS REALLY INTERESTING TO ME. MY MUM WENT THERE EVERY YEAR AS SHE LOVED THE MEMORI
This is an extraordinary video/documentary! While I do live in the States, I have deep sentiment for Brighton. This video, the various persons you have interviewed, as well as yourself, really radiate the passion for such a wonderful Seaside location. Good health and special appreciation to the 102 yr-old gentleman! Lastly, the incredible lady that lost her father is undoubtedly a quality human being, that words cannot adequately describe. Thank you for your wonderful work! 💯%
That bit with the Boris Johnson puppet was strange and off-putting. It would have been more fun to see someone recreate a period puppet show that ripped on a Victorian Prime Minister or something. I'm no Boris fan, but stabbing him in front of children? Who came up wit that?
All school children had to read aloud on an everyday basis from about 8 - 11 years old, if my memory serves me, and woe betide us if we mispronounced a word, gabbled or mumbled. I don't think that happens today, more's the pity.
@@jonc4403 Not at all. The teachers were dedicated to helping children reach a modicum of reasonable speech because the world was so class divided in those days that no matter how bright the child, doors remained closed to them the minute they opened their mouths, such was snobbery then. Subsequent generations benefitted from this as this upward mobility, however slow, allowed for more opportunities for all. Don't deride attitudes from which you have probably benefitted. It is very short-sighted.
Up until probably 20 or 30 years ago we were all taught that we were judged on how we spoke people would talk to speak properly in schools and to conduct themselves a certain way
This is such great material and I love every episode, however I think it would get more views if there weren’t so many ads and so much repetition. It’s distracting.
Arizona has plenty of "beach", the trouble is no ocean!! After 19 years on New Mexico, I finally moved to Cocoa Beach... finally water to go with all that sand🌴🌞
From the Cadbury website: An Ice Cream served in a cone with a Flake 99 is the UK's favourite ice cream. In the days of the monarchy in Italy the King had an elite guard consisting of 99 soldiers. Subsequently anything really special or first class was known as "99".
British people dont seem to look very well after their public places (i am talking about the Lido and the rusty remains of the Promenade) Also the streets behind the beaches dont look so welcoming. If you go to the german seaside resorts on the baltic sea, everything is maticulary looked after with flowerbeds, benches, playgrounds and so on. Is the impression i have wrong?
@@laschagga8886 There is always someone correcting our wording or spelling for some reason or other. You just can't make a statement without somebody doing corrections . I think they feel superior to make such rewording ones statement.. always that person waiting to critic .
I live in a resort town year round. I am on the very southern tip of New Jersey...[NO I DON'T LIVE IN WILDWOOD] I said the very southern tip of New Jersey. Cape May which has a massive amount of Victorian homes. The beach is always crowded and loud [so no l don't go to the beach] but there are a multitude of out of the way beaches. However...to get a slice of this one has to walk quite a distance and lug in provisions for the day. Not worth my time or effort. But those who do this love it emensely.
@@mattjack3983 the clothing wasn’t that hot because of the materials used, such as linen. The color white was important also when used as a reflective versus dark colors which would absorb the heat. Finally, clothing can act as an insulator against the heat and sun.
This is an interesting video but the title is misleading. The I360 is not a 21st century phenomenon, Vancouver, BC has a similar place that was built in the 70's-80's, Niagara Falls has had same for years as well. Seattle, Wash has had the Space Tower for even longer. Would be so wonderful if they would rebuild that Pier. Have been to the Santa Monica pier, it was a fun experience. Delicious food. I love that they are restoring the Lido. On my list when I go to Britian.
I would say those towers are different since they use a central elevator up to a spinning platform instead of an entire donut that goes up and down. Though I don't know what the Niagara one is like, just the Vancouver and Seattle ones.
So the art of immersing oneself in beach nature has turned into an expensive industrial indoor high in the sky immersive environment. Sounds like so much that’s happening in U$A. Creating a nation of wealthy indoor fat cats vs. the homeless and the poor who are “forced” into occupying outdoor spots. Loved the narrator.
What kind of stupid question is that?!?! How did you feel in the aftermath of your father being killed? REALLY !! That’s the stupidest thing I’ve heard asked to someone.
I was born and lived many years in Brighton in my youth it was a nice town (now city) with not only the seaside also very well looked after lovely parks , now in 2022 Brighton has become the opposite to nice, it is dirty , the parks have nothing to do with what they once were , some how the political elite in Brighton have managed to run Brighton into a unrecognisable hole and money is spent on the woke standing of Brighton and not on Brighton itself.
We are living the same reality in Boston Massachusetts, the truth is, it points directly to one person in America and his disgusting abandonment of our people and what he's done to our country. Our country will never be the same.
As a true rockhound, I'm just loving seeing the rocky beaches there. Wonder what kind of rocks I'd find there? Edit: apparently just flint, that's all they have. But a useful stone it is.👍
So done with this channel now too!!! Getting shows UNINTERRUPTED is why I use RU-vid!! Having an annoying ad BY the channel for History Hits is more than I'm willing to put up with! There are LOTS of other things to watch besides History Hits! NEVER will I PAY to watch videos stolen from the actual makers and posted for someone elses' profit!!!!!!
I was overseas after mobilization. Where I was they had a 50 meter indoor pool unheated. After about 2 laps you would warm up. I do not know if the pool was at 9 degrees celsius , we were in the desert but it was definitely cool at the indoor pool. So I guess the men in that swimming club warm up a bit after some time swimming.
Why do you call it a wreck? Why not call it what it is? A ruined sea scape! A wreck implies it was destroyed by either a bomb or hurricane or mayhap another means.
We sadly don't have seaside beaches, however we do have great places like Fossil Creek, Beaver Creek, as well as some nice lakeside beaches to get out fix in Arizona, until we can make the 7 hour drive to California and beaches like Santa Monica.
I mean, it is all very interesting and cute, but is the title mere clickbait? This seems to be mostly about different periods than the Victorian era. Not sure that I want to finish watching it.
Did anyone else notice the little girl's face during the Stabbing of Boris? On telly or not, that's not going to be a fond childhood memory at the beach.
