he sounds like Noel Fielding

Funland, Billy Butlins first venture in England on his arrival here.

5:55 over to the right is a skate park. When Ben Raemers started to learn to skate with his brothers and locals. (Look him up if you don’t know who he is

1:40… there IS a way down to the beach… where you’ll often find washed up sharks teeth… you just have to walk a bit further than you did…

I’m from Yorkshire and every summer I used to stay with my late sister in Canterbury. Whitstable was my favourite place to spend the day. Bag of chips overlooking the sea. Sometimes ate at Peter Cushing Wetherspoons. Whitstable six miles from Canterbury and 20 minutes on the bus for my sister. She used to go every week. Happy memories.

A bloody toilet? 🫣

Hi should have started at Sandown castle 😊

Went a few times in the 80s, when it was known as Bembom Brothers, and had some classic rides like Mary Rose and Looping Star. Always thought the entrance down the side-alley was weird.

And the caves at St Leonards. Around the corner, to the West, would have been Bexhill on Sea

Lived here all my life, think my lot go back to 1820 something or other the blue house on the hill was a pal of mines, but they’ve down sized now, still a wonderful house behind that big wall .

Who wants to listen to product placement? Downvoted for supporting the awful Ringo app.

if you live around here its Hunston or Hunny.

I’ve warmed to this channel after seeing Jack visit my home town recently (Leigh-on-Sea) and one of my preferred holiday locations (Menorca). I now challenge you, Jack, to visit Canvey Island and make it NOT look like a shithole.🤔😅😉✌️

Although you weren't there in the evening, Hunstanton has the most amazing sunsets. It's the only resort on the East coast where the sun sets (and sinks) into the sea. This is because Hunstanton is on the tip of The Wash and facing west.

Chives wine bar & brasserie, on the High Street.

Lived in southsea 94-99. Loved the place . Ruff and ready pompey but great people and great culture. Just re visited and what a change. Lovely sunny friday afternoon and beach covered with groups of african migrants. Migrants whizzing round pavements on scooters nearly killing people. Sunday canoe lake was rammed with indian people like calcutta. No trouble but i felt like a foreigner. My pompey has gone forever .

I absolutely loved watching this entertaining video. Thank you, Jack!

thank you so much was my home town 50 years ago was lovley to see

H E Bates was the name of the author, not E H.

Portsmouth is lovely except for their football team. For Premiership quality, Southampton is the number one!

Yes, thanks for the video. I was 'brought up' there, living on the sea-front from lived there from 1948 to 1960, swimming daily in sweet waves, and visiting what-was-then an indoor aquarium behind the canoe lake with a huge turtle as its startling main attraction. Growing up in what you also feel is a giant village, sailing boats on the Canoe Lake. In the USA now, but my first visit whenever back will be Southsea. John.

Love the dog parasol, glad he got his sea legs. Another good one Wash Monster Jack.

Really concerned that the Bean To Cup didn't happen - the construction work opposite what were the world's smelliest toilets was the Kit Kat club, sadly it burnt down but remember Mum drinking Top Deck and me 7 up and scampi fries and watching what seemed good entertainment at the Time, where the golf was I remember being embarrassed that Mum got asked to leave after eating our own sandwiches under the table, and the arcade you went to had Thomas's Revolving Bingo, which often got turned into Revolting, famous they were for Friday night is party night, and the joke shop is awesome, very much look forward to returning to Sunny Hunny in September after a trip to Skeggy, is that on your cards too, it is so close by water but a fairly long drive, great video nicely shot and just full of laughs cheers

Just go for a swim when you need facilities 🤷‍♀️ isn’t that a rule 😂😅

Great job. We as a family always went to Menoca. It’s such a beautiful place as you showed it. Thanks Jack.

Spent many a night there , respectfully and professionally as an invrstigator. Sadly we investigators are being blamed for noise and rubbish left when its the yob element who turn up in cars thinking its a laugh to scare the girls , and who are leaving rubbish and making loud noise (they've disturbed our vigils and audio a number of times) so now the car park gets locked early to stop us and others from parking up at night. Its a shame the antisocial yobs ruin it for everyone else including us investigating who have been nothing BUT respectful of the village and its people and have never left rubbish anywhere.

Didnee find the nudist beach did you..

should have gone under the road pass..shocking buskers..outsides mcdonald always drunk people there..quite funny though

Hey Jack, it was a Turnstone. 11:11 Love the way you prefer the smaller independents to the chain stores and food outlets. Really refreshing to see. 👌

me watching this as i just got home from hastings !

Hasting used to be quite an attractive place to visit, then it went downhill!! The seafront was the 1st to experience decay! Lots of ugly abandoned buildings. Then the town centre was next, not a place ti be at night, not feeling safe. I avoid going there now. Its a pity cuz i have family there.

The ''great more secluded beach '' at 1.40 is our nudest beach ; )

Two of the forts have been recently sold at auction. You didn't even get to Gunwharf Quays

Take us for a tour of the actual Town I am sure your viewers will enjoy that!

Should have gone to warrior square in st Leonard’s

Loving the recent vids!

3rd Generation Hastings here. It's always been a great place to live. Its always suffered from the classic modern day seaside down condition. Its slowly being gentrified in the st leonards end by DFLs. You'll note the general accent changes and the general attire goes to that of a prebuild persona choice brought from a personality off a shelf shop. The town centre is still suffering from everything shutting up and turning into vape and phone shops. The council removed all the benches and toilets due to drunks taking up the seating and it being a poor attempt at moving them on. The music and community is great. It's been great for years and years. Well presented video of the town.

Could you include places to eat and drink please ?

AHH Hastings, the anus of Britain

Sand martins nest in the cliffs at reculver.

Ship inn on a Sunday beef steak roast

I lived in Granville Road near the Dover patrol memorial with my brother and mother where we rented a 1 bedroom flat 1981-1989, it was such a small village. The primary school was (and is) outstanding. As French nationals, we could capture French TV on our French receiver on the white cliffs, way before satellite! My 1991 A'level Geography project was on the management of St Margaret's seashore and required much fieldwork at the beach! @6:17 No parking fees back then, it was free. Unfortunately, St Margaret's is completely unaffordable today. Lawyers, principally. Rocco Forte has a house there. Best to buy in Deal or Walmer for affordability.

Nice video. I joined one of those heritage sites a few months back. All my paternal relatives from my Great grandfather who moved to Greenwich ,London ,as far back as I've got to the early 1800s are in the Romney Marsh area . Great Great Grandfather married in the church in Dymchurch... The Census records him and his family living in a village called Orgarswick ,I think Dymchurch swallowed it up as I can only find a street of that name! They were all agricultural workers...he went on to be a tenant farmer in the village of Newchurch more inland. All sheepfarming I believe. I still live in London.

You didn't get to Alexandra Park! Some amazing old trees and lakes. It's just up from Queens Road in Hastings I'm a Londoner moved down to St Leonards many years ago. Hastings and St Leonards has everything you could want. Cafes in Bottle Alley and at Goat Ledge (St Leonards). Live music on Hastings pier in the summer. Art galleries and antique shops, And the charity shops are the best.

Really good fish and chips

Botany Bay,chalk stacks and aðjacent Kingsgste chalk arch; caves climb to cliff top as discovered as kids !

Will get back there one day - not the cheapest place to visit seems about 1k pp for 7 day average, but might be lucky with a last min deal
