Yes I guess Emirates will have paid a lot of dosh for it. I enjoyed meeting Noel as well as some of the other people there. Something very different and hope to attend another meet up one day ! thanks for watching and taking the the time to leave me a comment. I really appreciate it !

Location of hotel is great for flights in and out of all the terminals. Pity the pool bar was closed as would have been nice to have a cocktail in there. Mind you it would probably have cost 20 quid or more 😁 All will be revealed on the next video!

Yay! Glad it arrived ! Need a pic of you wearing it some day lol

No doubt!!

Can’t argue with that! Thanks for watching ! I hope to return and do part two so I can sample the ones that were closed

Haha, cheers, no the loos were for everyone , nothing just for 1st class. They need to get some new trains !

I thought u were gunna say that immortal phrase ‘Av u seen that in there’ 🤟🏻

@@DirkDiggler007 Haha! classic !

Thanks ! Great to be back doing what I love !

@@TheTeessideTravellerUK Absolutely! I know what you mean. Follow your dreams 😎

I've never used the park and ride. Is it a reliable service? Thanks for watching !

@@TheTeessideTravellerUK On the occasions I’ve used it, absolutely!

@@anpj2006 I must give it a try ! 🙂

I was there for Halloween last year Nick and the weather was lousy then, but not as bad as you experienced. I do recall all the flooded fields as the my train went in and out of York. Thanks for watching :)

Yes they are very tired, but I guess their prices reflect that. Last LNER I travelled on for a previous video was a bit tired too and that was an Azuma which aren't that old - strange !

Thanks! Not my greatest video but wanted to get something out - really appreciate you watching !

Yes you’re so right there. I always use Teesside when I can. I use the airport a lot for work. Thanks for watching 😊

Oh thanks so much for watching . Went to Bahrain once on way home from Qatar.

Thanks David

Thank you Nigel !

Thanks guys !

Thank you Nick

Thanks for the heads up. I am aware of cannon park play brew and plan on paying a visit this summer 😊

Haha, well with bacon I have red but always have brown on a sausage. Great idea to take some butter though. I will keep that in mind! Hoping to do a sleeper train video at some point too! Thanks for watching !

You're the only entrant Dazza - so by default, You are the winner ! if you send me an address - I will get shirt in the post my email is [email protected] PS I have a couple that are a bit smaller the the ones featured !👕

@@TheTeessideTravellerUK Weyhey 1st time I’ve ever won owt 🤟🏻 I’ll send you an email

@@DirkDiggler007package will be with you soon! Congratulations 🥂 😂

Yeah , gonna get some that fit me haha! These were just samples 😃

sorry , no

I went to border an area in Indonesia because want to a board.

Yes how things have changed Brian. Unfortunately you cannot go on the bridge at all right now as there are structural issues. They are supposed to be spending some money on it to get it back into use. 🤞🏼

Thanks for watching the video. I think a lot of towns are changing from retail to leisure - hoping Stockton will continue to be reborn. Enjoy the rest of your visit 😊

I should have checked instead of assuming 😂

I’ve bought several of these sauces from previous visits and they’re really good. I love how they do them from very mild to very hot and all things in between with lovely flavours ! I’m not being paid to say this by the way 😃

Thanks Richard !

Home

Oh yes! And they were delicious!!

Yes - it’s in the list and fly out for the drone too. Not sure when though 😊 thanks for watching Nigel

Will try one next time! Thanks for watching !!

Thank you very much for watching !!

Haha, did not even see one !

Small world !

Thanks !

Hi there, thanks for watching, I didn't ask for permission to fly over the stadium as you don't need to, there is a code of conduct for flying drones, which I always follow. - But, obviously if it was a match day I wouldn't have gone near it. I did a video of Stewart Park Farmers Market recently and I will be returning soon as am doing a Captain Cook video beginning there. I plan on using the drone on future videos, so keep an eye out! thanks again ! 🙂

Hi Nick, I had a couple of job on The Tees in the early 80's, Whessoe Offshore as it once was (never expected to be back working on the old site!) and I also worked at Davy Offshore Modules, next door in the shadow of The Transporter Bridge. All looks very different to the area I recall back then.

thanks so much ! Take That (pop band) are setting up to do a show in the stadium 24/05/2024

ah yes, i recall that now! thanks Sis x !

Hi Tony , it's comments like yours that make all the hard work worthwhile. Thank you so much for story of your connection with Teesside. Any plans to visit the area? there are so many things to see and do here. I am doing a Captain Cook trail soon.

@@TheTeessideTravellerUK Hi, thank you for the welcome. I've not been to Middlebrough for a few years now, last time was a fleeting visit in 2019. Unfortunately I'm now at that time of life when many of the people I knew have passed on. I do keep thinking about a visit though. I was planing on coming up that way in 2020, but we all know what happened that year 😐 I would like to do some walking along the coast will I'm still active enough and high on my list is a visit to Roseberry Topping, one of my mum's favourite places, she grew up in Marske, and loved that part of the coast. She always wanted to move back, but life didn't work out that way for her. I'll keep an eye out for your Captain Cook vid 👍 By the way, in my original comment when talking about my Great Uncle and Australia, I meant of course, that he was a part of the team from Dorman Long who went out to build the Sydney Harbour Bridge, although I'm sure you understood that 😄

@@tonym480 Hi Tony, well I do hope you make it back up here, as you know there are a few hidden gems for sure! I went up Roseberry Topping for the very first time only a couple of years ago. I should have chosen a different route ! I went up the steep way at the front ! - nearly killed me! I did a video at Saltburn Farmers market and went on the cliff lift afterwards, which was a treat. Unfortunately there was a fire in the control room recently, I hope they manage to restore it back to full working order soon. That is some accolade, being a part of the team that went out to Australia to build the bridge. I hope to visit it myself one day.

Hi Darren, yes ! you are correct, I should have done a bit more research. I don't know where I got the mini from ! maybe some other incident ! Hope you are well mate ! www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/nostalgia/actor-terry-scott-drove-jaguar-23064746

Yes all good here Dave .. keep up the top work

@@DirkDiggler007 cheers Daza

Yep and I used to work there when it was whessoe offshore in the early 80’s - never expected to be back there in 2024! Thanks for watching !

@@TheTeessideTravellerUK thanks mate, I used to work at Redpath Offshore LinDin Yard

@@djangsthemangs4085 I also worked next door at Davy Offshore on the Marathon Brae B modules. Good times, shame it's all gone now.

@@TheTeessideTravellerUK I too was on Marathon Brae B 2 Accommodation Modules at LinDin and then M57 and M58, Flare Jacket and Bridge at HiFab - small world - good days
