Hi Stew & Jane about that rant - not only do you spend money and coment where you stop and enjoy the vacilities that are provided. You are KZreadr's and through that activity you encourage hundreds of other people to visit those places you praise and discuss who may spend lots and lots of money because of your videos. Remember your videos are freely advertiseing those positive places you visit. That could be very valuable to towns by increaseing many tourists to visit them as well as increaseing visits by "the power of word of mouth." Had a good laugh over your dog and the male exposing himself. Terrific.

But more importantly, taking you along with us means alot so I know Stew will really appreciate your comment as much as i do ☺️jane

This vid woke me up a bit. Occasionally I used to work in the next town, Le Trait, spent many happy off duty hours cycling along the Seine,usually to point du Normandy, have a Jupiler or three then cycle back. The tides rise and fall and the speed of the river make it a dangerous place for a inebriated person. We lost 2 chief engineers to that river in a short space of time so alcohol got really stamped on then!

Yeah we noticed the fall and rise and the arc the ferries have to take to counter the current…… so yes I can see the dangers especially with alcohol - once you’re in ….

Mont St. Michel will not disappoint, it is beyond words. I do recommend taking the horse and buggy out from the carpark, a beautiful trip. There is a helicopter buzzing around at times and it is to take people up and back down that actually get to the stage they are completely beaten by the climb, its called The Dragon! I got just over half way, but I was waiting on a knee replacement so I was happy enough lol. My wife and son made it the whole way and the pictures are just stunning. I think it would be amazing to stay overnight in one of the hotels, with the tide in and just cut off........ Cannot wait for your Brittany trip!

Aaah yes. I too had a sinking feeling over using a card at an automatic fuel pump. It took 150€ even though I only dispensed 50€ diesel, I did take a receipt however and carefully watched the bank app. The unused part of the payment was refunded in about 7 working days. It was a bit of a worry but since Asda and tesco both do the same over here I wasn’t bricking it! Mind you that was the least of my worries on that day!

Hi guys. Entertaining vlog as usual. We live in France and have come across the debit card issue at fuel stations. The french debit card system works similar to credit cards and all balances out at end of month. I’d advise using a credit card at 24hr stations which overcomes the issue. 👍🏻

Well with regards to Stews rant, I agree, it's not hard to do these things to allow us to overnight and spend some money. As regards for free, I think it depends where it is. I stayed at the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre last night which was a fiver and I paid it. Nothing but bins and a tap and walks, and loos and a cafe when it's open during the day, but they rely on the car park donations for the upkeep of the place, so in some circumstances payment is valid. As for Jane's rant, well we never even let Nanook off the lead, he had an extendable only, and the same applies for Wolfie. As a dog owner, I get extremely p*ssed off with people who let their dogs do what happened to you, but towards my dog. They don't know what he's like. Wolfie is a friendly boy, but it's besides the point. As for the flasher Jane, I bet your dog nearly enjoyed a sausage sandwich that day 😂

Another fun video. I think orally agree with you about Aires. However councils don’t have as much land as you might think. They have sold much of it to raise funds. Sadly having spent the last 11 weeks in Europe and visited many French ports sailing I wonder if the bigger issue is that iBritish society and values are fundamentally different. Britain seems much more self centred and less respectful. And accepting of others. Is NIMBY. I also wonder if the wires would be looked after by users as they seem to be in Europe?
