My son planted a conker 35 years ago in in the garden its now 25 feet tall and still going 😊

Helen I commend you for having such a positive flowing energy after many hours of gruelling shifts at the hospital. With you being a NHS worker, I salute you and appreciate you massively. James, you are such a privileged man to have such a wonderful caring lady. If she can't put a smile on ya chops, nothing will.

The reason there's so many Turkish barbers is because there's a special visa that entitles Turks to come here, setup a business and claim citizenship after 5 years. Also anyone they employ can also claim it after 5 years. So it's basically a dubious way to buy a UK passport and why so many are empty as barbering isn't really their main purpose. It gets even worse as a lot have been set up by criminal gangs, who are not only selling citizenship but running fronts for various other illegal activities (modern slavery, smuggling etc). I think there's a street in Plymouth which has the crown with 15 or so of them!

Thanks so much for the video and for putting a positive spin on scunthorpe. After living there all my life (56 years) I've always thought it is a grim sh#thole , which isn't as bad as it seems because it means where ever else you visit seems wonderful. I'm currently on holiday in Spain and was dreading returning home, however after watching the video and seeing what a wonderful place scunthorpe actually is , I can almost bring myself to look forward to coming Home. Straight to wetherspoons on arrival though!😂😂

Most enjoyable vlog. Enjoyed the double act being back together.

As a resident of sunny Scunny, this video turned out better than i thought it would have. It's a dying town, god help us if the steelworks closes. Of course there are some positives..... When did you visit, the high street looked busier than usuall. Good video all in all and thanks for coming.

only every been to Scunny to visit relatives for either a funeral or xmas and last time I went to Glanford Park was for a wake :( It looks a lot cleaner and tidier than Doncaster Centre, at least you have nice new pavements ! The ones in Doncaster are so un-even its mainly a trip hazzard, Looks a lot nicer than I expected tbh.

Suggestion for a future visit,,think you’d love a day out at Yarm in Cleveland. Lovely old market town with lots of pubs and restaurants. And try a bottle of fantastic salad dressing at Strickland and Holts made by my 92 yr old mam Renee❤👍

The comment about conkers keeping spiders away made me belly laugh...my mum bless her believed this great video as always much love to you both

Helen will like this, I think. Fun fact about nearby Flixborough. When I saw the Ferry House I recognised it straight away. I helped commission Burton Stather telephone exchange in 1974 and although I only lived in Sheffield I stayed in digs near the pub and went home at weekends. During the week I used to cycle around the area frequently passing the Nypro plant at Flixborough. You may recall that on Saturday 1st June 1974 is when the plant exploded trashing lots of properties in the locality. Another little story, after Flixborough explosion I started travelling every day to and from Sheffield. The car journey pre motorway used to take ages to get back home on't Gleadless Valley. But one night as I reached the main road from Scunny, a fire engine on blue lights and siren shot past towards Donny. I thought chuffin' hell, that's handy, so I pulled out and tucked in behind it. I stayed with it as it tore past other cars even through a red light at Thorne and through Donny and out towards A1 through Balby. I turned South down A1 and fire engine went straight on towards Conisborough. Anyway, I got home in record time and so early that our old lady thought I must have been sacked. Oh you two don’t half make me laugh and on this occasion brought back memories of Burton upon Stather.

well.....not sure i should admit to spending a good deal of my childhood in sunny scunny :) it used to be a lot nicer but sadly unemployment has ravaged it.central park used to have an outdoor paddling pool,bird aviary,pond,butterfly house and the annual childrens gala was held there,most of the town turned up.the market isnt very old,the old market had more atmosphere and was a lot busier.the pods leisure centre is next to central park you couldve gone for a dip x

Here in Scotland, you used to be able to go to college to learn gents hairdressing, get a diploma ,then perhaps ,open your own shop.cant see that happening today as every high st is swamped by Turkish Barbers with 10 staff and penny numbers customers...this happened during theTories " Strong on immigration" policy.😂😂😂LMFAO

Love watching you both. You should come to Ull (Hull). Lots to do and see, a great Old Town, lots of history and plenty of Charity Shops for Helen

Watching you picking up the conkers reminded me of when I was 14 years old and I went to Germany with my mother. We stayed with a family and they took us to different places and one of them was where there were loads of big Pine cones. I picked up loads of them in a bag and in my pocket and we got back to their house. I started to sort them out and then realized they had loads of earwigs in them.😳😳 So the lot went straight into the bin. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 We went to 'Bad Harzburg' which is near Hannover. (we actually stayed in Peine). but Bad Harzburg is a really beautiful place if you visit in the summertime.

Thanks James and sithee!

Mums nail varnish was a goto performance enhanced conker, love the advertisement good for you mate

Watched the Huddersfield vlog...pretty depressing , decided to watch the Budapest vlogs, the van vlog, and now Scunthorpe vlog, gradually getting a feel for your character which comes across as genuine, and your thoughts on places, food etc is fair. Enjoyed seeing Helen , made me laugh with the wig part and the 20-21 visual arts commentary was funny. Helen is funny and complements you and is out of kilter in a nice way. ( From the Hudd but live Down Under for many years so good / bad to see places I have been / not seen) Keep up the good work...enjoyable vlogs

I used to live in Village just outside Scunthorpe, we used to shop in Brigg mostly. Scunny market was the best for meat. Love the charity shops, me and Helen would have a fab time. Helen Brigg has a few too!

Guaranteed laugh out loud moment whenever Helens in the video, this time it was ‘sometime later’ insert you put in, when she was choosing the Guinness 😂 P.s. Take the subtle hint and “get your stuff done” James,Helen wants you smooth😉

The irony of the “Lucky Tuppence” in sunny Scunny! I had the pleasure of accompanying my partner to the Forest Pines Golf Club In Scunthorpe whilst he played me and a friend hit the town. It was then just a town of Bookies and Charity shops back then, with many other stores closed down. Such a shame that many of our towns are the same now. Mind you, many bargains to be had! Lol

I used to live near Scunny, (as they call it), in a town called Barton On Humber. Later on I lived in Scunny itself for a few years when I worked at a local chicken factory. You can imagine the reputation of Scunthorpe. I think I'll always have a bit of a soft spot for it. It's part of my childhood.

It’s only the high street in Scunthorpe that’s a little run down and that’s mainly because of the shopping habits of people have changed. There are lovely parts of Scunthorpe. You needed to explore more.
