Thanks for the info 👍👍 I’ve been to Luton Airport to catch a flight ✈️

"lok nee" 🤣🤣

I love this great city. ❤

nice place, shame about the locals, not very friendly

Thanks John, much appreciated. I used to fly up to up Aberdeen on a regular basis for work on the rigs and the occasional week in an office. I really like the architecture of the city but the grey sky and grey buildings for days on end can apparently get people depressed. Some nice pubs as well. Nice to see the old film of the city to see it has remained the same. I hope you have a prosperous New Year.

Thank you John, although the video is from 2 years ago I'm sure most of your information is still relevant. I am planning on moving back to the UK in January 2025 I think Inverness is at the top of my list

Thanks for featuring the positive side of Antrim.😁 Merry Christmas.🎅🏻

Leicester is a dump so glad i left never going back

I'm 43 and have lived here all my life. 20yrs ago Newport was actually the crime capital of the UK, mostly violent crime and drugs. It did seem to improve around the time of the Friars walk being built, but since 2020, it's level of drug crime has increased 10 fold

loved this video, I'm from newport and it's nice to see a positive perspective on it!

I have lived in various parts of the UK but was born and am back living in Leicester. Wherever I have been, there has always been a vocal minority of residents who make negative comments about where they live and I see that there are comments here in that regard. There are lots of things going on in Leicester but I do have to agree that there is a lack of greenery in the city centre. I have never before heard that Leicester has more than its fair share of adulterers - perhaps I had better keep a better lookout for such activities! I have always resided in the suburbs, wherever I have lived, but I suppose I might have a less rosy picture of Leicester, if I lived in one of the terraced houses that ring the immediate proximity of the city centre.

Obviously a very high budget production..............

Its full of nasty liars

Belfast is a cold grey dirty expensive shit hole d9nt come here its crap

Could improve on pronunciation and pacing

Laegan

I made it to 1m:16s before giving up on the dreary voice and 'music'.

City center pubs don't shut until 1.00am

The positives you can walk anywhere in Belfast within a few hours if you're not lazy the negatives paramilitary crime gangs still control large parts of it.

Interesting.

Been to Dundee once, that was enough!!!

Leicester has become a complete shithole. First-world people move out, third-world people move in, result, it's now a shithole and a disgrace to the East Midlands. I am very glad that I was one of the first-world people that moved out.

Well I’ve lived in Wakefield all my life, I’m 33, For me personally Wakefield is stunning, but the amount of drugs smack zombies everywhere, They’ve closed all the chemists in housing estates so all the addicts end up at boots all day stealing and causing havoc’ The city itself is pretty, it literally takes 5 minutes out of Wakefield city to be surrounded by nature! Jobs are sparse, progression is non existent! And it’s pretty much a lawless state! Like you said 3% conviction rate! We’re constantly failed by services, Trinity walk tore Wakefield into two! The ridings almost collapsed 4 times! But buyers kept investing, now the bottom floor is ruined because the council cannot get planning permission!! We have no community spirit, we have no market, We have hundreds of takeaway, barbers, basically laundering fronts EVERYWHERE!! The drug problem is far beyond a crisis! We have people pretending they are homeless hounding you outside Sainsbury’s, yet they are nowhere to be seen when it lovely and sunny outside! they aren’t there when the weather is crap, which is about 90% years the time! The city itself has tons of potential, but the money just doesn’t hit where it’s needed!

The M4 west section from 15 to Wales was opened first and I remember it being 1972 actually. It all was completed in 1971 opening in 1972: Took a trip on it with my parents west towards Wales and I know what year that was ! A car lost its roof baggage just as it got down the slip road. Wichelstowe was Swindon's front garden and I don't think they even put any proposals in for a further junction. It only got talked about as has having a service station at Spittleborough. Junction 15 was and still is Plough Hill interchange NOT Baydon. Despite bimbos putting up a new sign just because they've built a new housing estate nearby of that name. It used to be the A345 and ran into Swindon as Marlborough Road then Queens Drive. Now all roads into town have been renumbered as they apparently are less important routes!!😮 A419 taking over the A345 instead of heading to Hungerford. That now is the B4192! On Spittleborough junction 16 that was once the A420. Now A3102 to Calne. The A420 still goes to Oxford but has been split in two now. Starting again near Chippenham! Crazy I say !!

I remember cycling on the M4 before it was opened with some friends and being chased of it by the workforce 😂😂

What a freaky man I can't watch this video he's frightening.

I enjoyed that,I was born in Newport but IV moved away now

I left Leicester over forty years ago because i was beginning to feel like a stranger in the city i was born in. Last i heard the indigenous population are now a minority. I go back sometimes to see the fantastic foxes and its depressing to see hiw its changing.

Locals to clicky for me.

Toothill got abandoned. No 1 used to go through Freshbrook and Toothill into town before cross town routes came about. I'm not happy about that. We had a number 2 bus as well. Swindon and District ran with Thamesdown on these services. Then Stagecoach took over former Swindon and District routes owners being Cheltenham and Gloucester with before that Bristol. I wish we still had double deckers dominating the town but at least here in Toothill we have a mix with Stagecoach with their Scanias and remaining Alexander bodied Dennis Tridents. AXL400 style. As for the bus boulevard. A total waste of money. The council should of looked at bus stations like the one in Swansea. Massive space for the buses. Passengers under cover. Like I encountered on Jersey on a smaller scale. Sliding doors opening when the driver wanted his passengers to board, therefore no exhaust gas entering the building. Behind it a massive shopping centre called the Quadrant. Beautiful! We have loads of space to create a similar scheme, but alas , stuck with Fleming Way bus stops in a lower road. Total crap!!

Love your pics. I've got plenty more.

I moved to Bradford from London twelve years ago, and I am glad I did

I visited Newport twice. Once in 1955 to watch Wales schools play a touring South African schools team. We won. The second time in 1963 when I saw Newport beat New Zealand. Never got further than Rodney Parade. Today, via computer in California I watched the Dragons { please just call them Newport and dress them in Black and Amber} beat the Ospreys!!! Ex-Merthyr boy me.

Place is an absolute sh1teh0le.

I am now very lonely person now on narborough road Leicester from Garry whiting

Swindon was a power house of a town back then

Які території окупувала Україна в Польщі?!

І що поляки робили на території України?!!!!окупували,так як потім росіяни??поляки окупанти,вбивці?

My old home town. But yes lots of worries now. The metro is a bad joke for...30 years.

What a wonderful garden John! Can't wait to see next year's update!

That’s a great video! Thanks John!

Born there, glad I’m still not there. If the world had piles, that’s where they would be.

Weres this clown getting his info from!!? Complete nonsense.

That guy ain't got no lesta accent!!

I lived in Bristol from 2009 until 2013. Best years of my life

My grandparents lived in Newport and I always loved going there. Yes, it has its faults as do all towns and cities, but overall the positives easily outweigh the negatives. Star of the show has to be the Transporter Bridge but there's also St. Woolos Cathederal, the stunning views from Ridgeway, the canal (disused for boats but still open for lovely walks), the Market, Roman remains at Caerleon (part of the city of Newport) and much Victorian housing, full of character and home to great communities. No family left there now but I still consider it a bit of a second home and occasionally enjoy going back.

Got out years ago Thank Goodness It's a shite hole

I was born here in 1982. Still live here. Everyday i try to win a large amount of money on lottery scratch cards so i can escape. This place is so boring. I lived in Weston super mare for around a year in 2007. That place sucks but it's better than Bristol

My ancestor named William Morris born in 1785 was from Sherston 😍

I am planning to move there ， thank you for telling me about inverness❤
