When we first stumbled upon you I wasn't sure what kept us watching and coming back, but it soon becomes obvious - you are so charming, naturally funny and sweet, with complete honesty on some of the nonsense around us, it's perfect. You could film a video in a sewerage works or a 5-star hotel, but it doesn't matter, your personality and humour shine through and truly cut through the crap. Love it ❤

'I'd rather live in Barnsley' Brilliant. If I ever see you in town I'll buy you a pint. You're my new favourite KZfaqr

It just shows how little there is to do in most places in the uk for free. The powers above have made it virtually impossible to live a free and entertaining life. Everything costs an arm and a leg, consumerism is awful.

Sometimes just driving somewhere with no plan is the best way. If you'd looked into it with more detail you probably wouldn't have gone but, as a result you produced ,what I felt, was an interesting video. Weather was crap and the village appeared to be like something out of the Stepford Wife's, so what. Makes you appreciate what you have up here in't North. Keep em coming mate.

The richest person is the one who is content with what they have , I am content with what I have

We watch your videos, and think that the two of you are so engaging and the sort of people that we are too! You already have almost 19 thousand subscribers, so well done! 🙂

Nothing ventured eh James. Can't believe I'm spending my Saturday night watching a fella eating fish, chips & watery curry sauce. At least you were actually there 😀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

You know it's gonna be a good 'un when it starts with "Ey up!".

Hey James what a shit hole that was. Big houses to rattle about in, no pubs or sense of community, everywhere shut off with gates and no doubt stuck up, stuffy people looking down their noses at outsiders. At least we know you can have all the millions in the world and still be unhappy. Till the next vlog mate, thanks for the vid x

Hi james If you are still in Virginia waters I own a yard in Shepperton witch is 2 miles away you are welcome to stay they as long as you like

Not so much a village - more a gated community!

Really enjoyed watching this James, brilliant...but £12.65 for fish n chips, bloody hell!!! Keep up the good work 👏

Welcome to the South. I spent quite a lot of time at the Civil Service college which was located in Sunning-dale which is neat Virginia Warner. The college has sadly been shut due to government cuts. Really enjoying your videos.

I'm from Kent just outside London you'll find people in London are rude / stressed unlike the people I've met up north mate 👍

I bet all their dogs wear Barbour jackets and the owners have big watches haha

30 years running pubs and I still find it scandalous when I hear of people getting ripped off. £6.60 for a pint is ridiculous. I don’t know how they keep a straight face.

“It’s not posh, it’s crap” “I’m not even interested in golf” 😂😂 you crack me up, bloody hilarious 🌟

The Karl Pilkington vibe you give is hilarious.. cheer up love 😉

Wow cool going in that Hotel . I got thrown out of a pub in Windsor just up the road because my shirt was hanging out. He said you cant come in here dressed like that.

Health and happiness most important

Great vlog James, whatever you put out its entertaining and we love it...

What a nightmare! The place / village looked really soulless- you are right Barnsley would of been better! 😂 I was feeling your stress! The fish and chips did look lovely - expensive abs Shame about the curry sauce. At least you found a place to park in the end Great vlog Rachel & David

That curry sauce were definitely too “Moist”! 🤣. Next road trip could be to the Cotswolds, many beautiful villages to explore, we recently went to ‘Bourton on the Water’ amazing place, Helen would love it for sure, another one is ‘Castle Combe’, we stayed overnight in the car park at the top of the hill, no charge overnight. 🍻

I think you were having one of those days mate, that I get living in my van. Nothing seems to fall into place, and you get angry and peed off at everything! I get that often mate, oh and boredom as well……. I feel your pain buddy

Just started watching you guys ,already watched a few of your videos ,enjoyed everyone of them it's great what you do ,and the most important thing is that you both enjoyin life .keep it up 👍🍺🍺

Can't believe Elton never got to see your T-shirt. Gutted for ya mate.😉

Hi mate, TBH it was a great video ! as far the village even if i could afford it looks a bit dead ! well worth the effort well done budd all credit for sticking it out and going to the posh bar ha ha keep it up luv ya both !!

Ha! You reminded me of me and my old man driving around places saying "even if we HAD the money, wouldn't live 'ere!" 😁. We do the same with our old moho too: "wouldn't have a new one THROWN at me" (..... we would😬). Keep on keeping on James - and look forward to the next vlog with Helen 🤗 (PS have you tried the car park nr the Castle in Lincoln - a good night out for official £4.50 overnight parkup👍)

Hi just started watching we love your content , Benidorm vlog was amazing x

Your benidorm trip popped up on my KZfaq ive been playing catch up on your videos since, cracking channel.

Brilliant video you made me laugh out loud 😂 I'm currently lying in bed in my van with my dogs😊

I just love watching you and you two the honesty is great and James it doesn’t matter where you live in one of those massive houses or under a bridge in a cardboard box nobody is better than anyone else we all have the right to be wherever we want just some people think they have more right take no notice you’re amazing and I’d be chuffed to see you anywhere I’ll let you know where I’m dragging me cardboard box to next 😂😂😂 stuff them and their barriers 🙄

Hi guys, I’m a newby, but I love the content ! You two should have your own TV show !! Helen is like a really really fit Jane McDonald, and her brilliant sidekick is Karl Pilkingtons slightly older brother !! A match made in heaven. ❤️❤️

Just like to wish you and Helen a very merry Xmas

James what you should have done in a suit n packed a tent in stealth mode into a supermarket bag, walk into the gated bit and do a wild camp. Public are permitted to walk through gated communities (even posh ones) you just could get stopped and escorted out say if you were a hoodie in a tracksuit. There might be a park inside.. did you have alook on Google earth beforehand?

Those fish and chips looked amazing!! 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Brave, you are on the right track. Keep going 🙏

Great video mate, never do research as it wont be as authentic, love your groans haha

Don’t like class we like down to earth people like yourself😊😊

A really interesting place is cockington in Devon and babbacombe really good places good pubs food nice people and affordable👌👌😁

I enjoyed the video James. Really different and a good idea

I remember the days like you when pay to park didn't exist . You should check out North Norfolk coast head to Kelling heath to park up for free before it's gone . England use to be a fun place in the past it's all about money now.😮

Best place we went where lots of posh houses was Brockenhusrt in the new forest, we really enjoyed it and the locals wasn’t stuck up, in fact we got talking to one guy who had just been to the boat show in Southampton and he was really nice and had good banter with about football etc

Coming back to my home town Barnsley can’t wait to have a fish Pattie god I’ve missed them

What an eye-opener eh ? Thanks for the info, a place I’ll never go to. After all the various & interesting places you’ve seen on your travels you have seen how the other half live. Have you ever tried the SW of England ? For character and beautiful coastal seascapes you can’t beat it. Cornwall fills my soul; makes my heart sing; be interesting to see what you & Helen make of it.

At least even with loads of money the can’t change the weather . Great video keep it up .cheers.

I can’t imagine you not fitting in anywhere yr such a nice down to earth bloke ! Curry sauce looked revolting and in my opinion so did those huge houses ! Soulless

Nice vid James 😊😎👍

There’s a huge lay by almost opposite the wheat sheaf pub on the A30

Great video. Authentic and although I wish you had enjoyed it. It was good x

Brilliant video! 😊

“I’d rather live in Barnsley” You do make me laugh James:)

Good show James, I now know where not to stay the next time I visit from across the pond 😆 Haddock, my preference too matey. That curry sauce was a soup, and a watery one at that 🤮

I'm from the same generation as you I share your idealistic nature Now it's about dialling down your expectations nowadays. Good luck my friend.

Also maybe the bar man thought you were part of Elton's roadies

Way to posh James!!! Bet it’s way expensive there x

James & helen keep up the good work 👏

'Need to get saving, really'. Love it.

Google earth everything! Gives you a great insight into an area you haven't been to. Here in Cornwall there are many great places for camping in uour van...free!!!!

The Bruce forsyth comment cracked me up 😂 great video james

Stay up north mate!! Much better!😂

You made me laugh more than once in this video HAHAHA, im full time in my van, I know these days very well lol....

Back streets down there oh dear 😳

don't worry James far to posh for a park up 😂😂

Cotswolds is pretty nice walks local pubs shop cafes

I see your plan here as your latest business venture, your clever 👍

Wait and see what happens to this place when the new arrivals move in. Which they will because we are running out of space..

Been watching you both for a while now .... great content new subscriber here❤

I enjoyed the video is was good :)

Thanks James - Your Video is Fine

I'm cracking up watching this A think av found mi spirit animal

Seeing you in that hotel I can imagine you at the court of Queen Elizabeth 1

😂even the vlogs u r not happy with makes me smile. Just brilliant. I envy u big time. 🫶🏻x….luv to Helen xx

I do love your vids and i watch them all BUT sometimes i feel like i need to take a vallium after 😅😅..

Well I enjoyed that thank you james

You show the real side of things. Do not under any circumstances change anything, that's why we watch you. Take care and continue to be real and happy....best way always.

I can imagine it would be an intimidating place for sure, nowt like Barnsley 😂

You’ll like finchingfield mate. Most photographed village in England by all accounts.

something different aye mate.... good om ya

That fish and chips was about the same size as our small fish and chips on Flamborough road Bridlington at ship to shore mate 👍 only 5.30

Head up to Watford and whippendell woods is nice place to walk

Cobham is another commuter village to take a look at.

So James all in all … a great place to live 😂🤣come to Australia with Helen mate,, you’ll love it.

I love being in a jeans and a well worn t shirt in a place with suits because they may have the money but they won’t be as interesting.. nice vid! There’s no consistency with curry sauce is there!

You and Helen would luv newquay west wales and surrounding areas. Car park as u come in charges 10pd a nite 4 camper vans. Fabby place,luvly people, plus the resident dolphins😍.

Come to Shoreham by sea pub crawl is easiest pub crawl ever !! 🙂

Get yourself to Trawden, voted best village to live in 2022. Community owned shop/library and pub the Trawden arms.

Sorry if I missed it but can you just confirm did you enjoy Virginia Water 😂😂😂 another great video 👍

That was a good video, you kept it real. You didn't need to drive quite so far though. Come across here and I'll show you a good walk, and good places to park. 😁 ilona

fish chips looked yummy curry sauce looke terrible ,great vlog xxx

If you ever go down south try Poole and sandbanks we've been a few time

Helen , you are such a happy bubbly person. You make the videos so enjoyable.

Come to Penicuik… fish supper is a tenner and twice the size from that posh place!, Penicuik is outside Edinburgh…

Have you thought about Wales? Lots to see. North Wales is more convenient for you. Anglesey. Portmeirion. Conwy. Snowdonia. Jeez its got to be better and cheaper than Surrey! Fish and chips looked crackin though 😋

I wish I knew you were coming down I would have loved to have met you. I live not far from Virginia Water, it’s changed so much over the years. The VW lakes car park was free when I was growing up and you could go there 24 hours. The pub never had barriers and was an old fashioned family pub. It’s now all changed like many places, I don’t like it in Surrey anymore it’s full of pretentious people with lots of money. I’m looking to move up North where some family are. Thank you for the video. 😊

That pub was beautiful inside! Shocking prices though...the village definitely didnt have alot if anything going for it,but saying that as there wasnt anything around or shops etc, i bet the street crime rate is almost zero! The most expensive village but other than the property's it had nothing going for it. Id have taken that water ( curry water back) terrible and i bet it was about £2 a pot for the large... Have you seen the new ish selling platform, whatnot? Its free to list and a auction style selling platform. Give it a look.. great to see you out on your travels again and i bet you wish you were in that sun still now 😂...

I thought that was a cracking video mate. Some lovely gaffs down there as you say but not for me, even if I had the money!! Im from the black country and appreciate what I have got. Loving these videos to pal, keep them coming. All the best, safe journey back up north to Barnsley 👊 …..Smithy

James you could of just nipped into ascot and plotted up there, and there’s shops, pubs etc

I was just watching your video on Sunny Scunny, I was bought in a village between Scunthorpe and Grimsby. Now I live about 10 miles from Virgina Waters, to be honest I think it is not my kind of place, and anyway I would never have the money to live there even if I wanted too 😀 As you say Virgina Waters has no soul.

Pissing myself here 😂😂
