Helen's bloodhound instinct for finding the bar is very impressive 😂

I went to a fair at the weekend, there was a Thai Street Food Stall there and the cheapest thing they sold was a tiny bowl of fried rice with a few peas in it for £11.50... decided to give it a miss and bought a lovely sandwich from Aldi for £1.19... I was so proud of myself 😀 Hate being ripped off😡

I went in a pub in Bradford and a non alcoholic lager and a coke came to £7.50. I went to Wetherspoons in the White Rose centre in Leeds and the same order came to about £4.50. I'm a big fan of Weatherspoons. That's the sort of price we should be paying.

Unbelivable being charged £10.50 each for entrance to that 'festival' it's akin to paying to enter a shopping mall. I reckon that once a week James, you, or Helen, should have a 'Rant of the week' feature on the channel. The way this country is going I'm sure you wouldn't be short of material! Anyway, thanks for another fun and entertaining video....All the best to you both.

As a local I can only apologise for these tourist trap events, we never go to these as it over priced tat. It's designed to get the middle aged middle class ladies to overpay for artisan crafts. On a normal Saturday that field is used for parkrun and kids football.. glad you found the real heart of the town.

I love Harrogate. Was my first gallop on a horse across the fields there. Never forget as I had learnt to ride a horse in my dreams ❤ thanks beauties

Totally with you on this. Same here in Cornwall and it's getting out of control. You are basically paying a substantial fee just to enter a trade show. Usually a really crap one too. You are also charged extortionate amounts for food and drink. The traders should take the hit on the cost of setting themselves up on the venue and promoting their products with discounted prices for the day and getting repeat business from this. After all, it's usually an annual event. It should be a business marketing expense. The Royal Cornwall show is an event I have boycotted years ago for this very reason. It's not just because I am a tight 50 plus year old grumpy Yorkshireman either!

Thank you for capturing a fair bit of Harrogate. You strolled along a part of The Stray close to our house along the Empress Roundabout where we lived 22 years ago. It's so nice to see what's new (Winter Garden) and what's still there (Betty's Tea Rooms). Back then the Cattlemen's Grill was called the Cattlemen's Association. Great to see that that they're still serving tasty steaks.

Brilliant video mate, I always really enjoy the park the van up and have a mooch around for the day videos, shame about being fleeced at that “festival” 😂
