    ​@@marcse7enpeople need not take words out of context. I'm 100% female in every way, i have no problem telling another female she is beautiful or she has a nice body. It don't mean I'm hitting on her or trying to get close. Now days because there's so much hate and type casting, many are even afraid to look at another person much less speak to them.if more were honest they would admit every family has someone who is LGBTIA, I have no phobia about anyone. Own who you are, never be ashamed of who you are. I think he's cute too.😊. Please don't think I know what you like, just commenting on what you said. I agree.

These days, as a gay man, I love a bit of flirty fun, and I see nothing wrong in complimenting a guy, whether he's straight or gay. Of course, not everybody sees things that way. I've experienced too much hate in my life, like you wouldn't believe. But onwards and upwards? Incidentally, are you American? I'm British.

Stratford has been a magnet for tourists for centuries and you are one of those. Will anyone ever dare dig him up and face his challenge? None so far.

    I visit here at least once a year. I didn’t realise Ann Hathaway’s cottage wasn’t open in winter. Or the church. Fair do’s to the person that let you take a look inside. I don’t know what the harm would have been to allow you to film, but at least that person was kind enough to let you look inside. I’m more of a Charles Dickens fan too. But Stratford is somewhere I have loved to visit for the past 40 years or so. It was during lockdown that I couldn’t visit. The Christmas market is something I enjoy. There’s a little stone plaque under a tree near the church that’s dedicated to actress Vivienne Leigh. It’s often covered by weeds and not always easy to find. I have visited “The Birthplace “ house in the past. It’s an interesting building. And there’s a connection with Charles Dickens. 😉 You probably can’t film in there either. The town has changed a lot over the years. There used to be a replica of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre near the riverfront. I’ve seen many actors walking around the town over the years. I’ve been lucky enough to see a few plays at the theatre. Judi Dench and David Tennant, two of my favourite actors were as you’d expect were amazing. The butterfly farm is a good place to visit. Stratford, like many towns has lost many shops over the years. Woolworths, Debenhams, BHS. The Body Shop is a more recent store marked for closure. I’ve always fancied doing the ghost tour there. It’s a pretty place and worth a visit. Cheers Paul, nice to see Stratford Upon Avon on your channel. The Most Haunted live episode was quite something a few years ago. Did you see it? 🥄 😂 It might be on KZread.

    For many years, English teachers have done William Shakespeare a great disservice. Plays are meant to be performed before an audience. I doubt Shakespeare imagined that hundreds of years after his death, there would be English literature lessons where awkward and self-conscious adolescents would be reading parts aloud, hoping the embarrassment would soon be over. Any attempt at putting in some effort would result in your mates giving you a hard time. It's that sort of thing that can kill a child's enthusiasm.

    Thanks for making this trip and video. Stratford looks to be a really nice place, but I am not surprised that Anne Hathaways cottage was closed. Old properties like that can be a devil to heat in the winter. Churches are mostly closed as there aren't enough volunteers to open them up and there are the usual problems with vandals etc if no-one is there. Today's society I am afraid. William Shakespeare's grave is very simple but well kept. The church looks lovely from what we could see. I am pleased that someone thought better of your request. 😀
