Lots of house boats (barges) on the river near Chelsea.

a bit pedantic, aren't you? Lighten up.

I once ate at a Wetherspoon‘s in Great Malvern, and swore I would never eat at another one again…

@@MagentaOtterTravels They were not to bad to eat in twenty years ago. They have kept the prices low by dropping quality.

@@johnclements6614 it’s a pity!

Now look, hear, 1953, i'll have non of this blaggardism. your barred ! I use their peevers most of the time, absolutely fine by me. Boozers do'nt give a monkey's about the decor, r kid.

I had the worst burger of my life at a Wetherspoons (Jolly Sailor, Hanham). Overcooked, then cooked some more. Dry bun and no sauces in the pub at all. Mediocre chips.

I think the person that did the Roast is a Vegetarian.

I really hope it tasted better than it looked. Yeuk!

@@davidhookway514 I'm sure there are exceptions, but I've never met a vegetarian who could cook well.

I was thinking, "where's the roast? The main part of the meal? The bit of the dinner that gives it it's name...?". lol :)

Seriously that roast dinner looked terrible, you can get a much better one trust me.. looked anemic, but fair play to the fella for making it

Vegetarian Tossa obviously.☹️

Are you blind? It has roast chicken, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, stuffing and vegetables so it qualifies as a roast dinner.

Heard it all now.........a double - decker bus is........awesome!!!!.......what in Christ's name isn't awesome....??

William Wilkes, For people who don't have double decker buses they do tend to find them awesome, especially if they get a top deck seat at the front.

@@lyndoncmp5751 ok..,.......point tàken.............apologies where due........

@@williamwilkes9873 No problem. My German friend loved double decker bus rides 👍

@@lyndoncmp5751 my error.......a bad mood.............enjoy yourselves....,.

This comment tells me everything I need to know 😆

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And it was a pain au chocolat.

And it's a river, not a canal

...and that 'tram' is actually a train. :)

I often walk through St James's Park just to look at the 35+ pelicans. By the way, she 'thought' that their wings had been clipped, not so, they are free to fly, but stay as they get regular feeds and like to 'stick' together etc. Although (and I don't know if it still does?), one used to regularly fly to London Zoo for 'extra' fish... but that was in the news a few years ago now, so it might not even be still around; as I have no idea how long they live for? But you are spot on with their history and date.

I love those pelicans!!

@@MagentaOtterTravels - They are great to view 'close-up' LOL! My father often recited this when I was a kid and it stuck in my mind: What a wonderful bird is the pelican... It's beak can hold more than it's belly can! It can hold in it's beak, enough food for the week And I don't know how the hell-he-can?😀

@@stewedfishproductions7959 that is a very funny verse, I haven’t heard that one before! Years ago when I went to the park for the first time, the pelicans were out, and I got some fun photos of my husband posing with them. I have since been back many times, but the pelicans are never along the path! They’re always hiding on the island or something . It’s frustrating, because I’m usually taking visitors to see the park and I really want to show them the pelicans! Cheers! Dara

Oh, yea olde worlde hag............maybe we saw life as it truly is.............through rose tinted.specs'.............

I prefer chicken and the gravy was poured after I shot that clip.

@@taystaunton That's not a proper roast dinner. You need roast beef, proper gravy, roast spuds, Yorkshire puds and veg.

Roast dinners don't have to be exclusively beef. Any red meat or chicken or turkey qualify. It's a damn shame she has still not experienced a proper roast dinner!

Me too!

Thank you so much! Yes, I love Jammie Dodgers!

I love watching your experiences in England and if any one visiting from America /Canada . And if you Visit Liverpool please jump on the ferry across the Mersey (as the song sings) come visit The Wirral its home to the 1st Park mother of Central Park in New York... Thanks to Mr Joseph Paxton.

Nice

you must have blinked ,it was hardly featured.

We love England in general so much and hope to visit again very soon!

@@taystaunton Well the real English are now about 75% of the population. Lefties & Politicians should indeed be in the Thames River.

@@taystaunton How is it called Purple gin, when it wasn't even purple in colour?

Ha, a shame they are a lot smaller these days! 🤔👀

I found religion ..............Spurs, Tottenham......COYS..........

😂

That must have been Stan the Pelican.

Yeah,it is far different than the rest of England because it isn't English anymore. Londonistan is not London anymore.

@@anonymouslykind8981 Ran by a Muslim Mayor, 55% non white population, closed several hundred churches and replaced by 500 mosques. That is just a few facts for you burkha boy?

@@anonymouslykind8981 Go back to your own planet.🤣🤣🤣

@@anonymouslykind8981 Sorry Mohammed or Osama or whatever your name is but need to stop this conversation now as I don't talk to your kind.👋

@@bobbybingle1662 🤣

I never found it and your comment helped me to stop looking ! (and I agree with the space before the exclamation mark, it looks so much better, but not before the full stop).

@@chrisbodum3621 That space before the full stop is a bad habit that I find impossible to eradicate. Did it again but this time I read through before entering and altered it. Is it worth the trouble ,I ask myself ?

There was no roast dinner featured at any time in this video!

Oh yeah a real Sunday roast dinner... And fish and chips shops very different from South to the North of England... Oh and good ol cup of tea. 😁. I would even cook the roast dinner lol

Next week it will be Croydon.

We loved Kingston!

@@lotuselise4432 that would be impossible! LOL

They have been in St.Jame’s park for as long as I can remember.

Modern pelicans are found on all continents except Antarctica. They primarily inhabit warm regions, although breeding ranges extend to latitudes of 45° South (Australian pelicans in Tasmania) and 60° North (American white pelicans in western Canada).[4] Birds of inland and coastal waters, they are absent from polar regions, the deep ocean, oceanic islands (except the Galapagos), and inland South America, as well as from the eastern coast of South America from the mouth of the Amazon River southwards.[15] Subfossil bones have been recovered from as far south as New Zealand's South Island,[57] although their scarcity and isolated occurrence suggests that these remains may have merely been vagrants from Australia (much as is the case today).[58]

The pelicans got some bad press a few years ago when one ate a pigeon.

@@dinastanford7779 😹😹

They were imported ages ago, but they’ve lived wild in london for yonks

Exactly! Everywhere featured in this video except the airport was in London. Hampton, Bushy Park, Hampton Court Palace, Kingston, Fulham and Chelsea are all in London.

And Chelsea's ground is in Fulham!

Actually there are trams in Croydon. And in Canary Wharf there is the Docklands Light Railway.

Americans dont do double decker buses on the whole, but if you do see one it will be red and British, most likely in some tourist area, old ones are converted into coffee shops or stood used for advertising, Las Vegas has them, you can see them all the time going up and down the strip... still they are very rare...

@@rbnhd1144 yeh I went on one in Vegas, maybe why I assumed USA has them all over

hmm.. very quick to assume before watching any other videos that I posted after this one

Their not there. - From a friend 😉

@George Prout I no longer give a flying crap about autocorrect/typos. I'm a writer but phones are a nightmare.

The irony

I had to tell an Irish visitor the same. The last syllable is pronounced, 'm' not 'ham'!

Seems you haven’t watched my other videos 😉

Like The Lake District, The North Yorkshire Moors, The Yorkshire Dales, and that hell hole of poverty, Alderley Edge in Cheshire.

I was thinking that . However I still Journey up from the South Coast and walk the Thames Path between Kingston & Richmond. Also Kew Gardens.

@@davidhookway514 I visit London as well. But it is abit like visiting Pompei. One can admire the architecture and see the bare bones of an interesting people but as a lived culture it is not English in any meaningful sense. I'm not trying to offend anyone of course. I think I am just stating a fact. Most of the ethnically English people you meet in London will have a political and cultural pursuation that is rather hostile to the society of their grandparents. There is very little identification or continuity with what came before. National history is seen as inherently suspect, something that must give way to metropolitan ideas of global citizenship. While I like visiting certain cultural sights I find most Western European cities deeply alienating.

You would have thought that Americans, even those who've never ventured outside their country, (which doesn't apply in this case) would be able to distinguish between a tram and a train.
