61. Getting toasty & making a McDonald's McBreakfast McBagel

[@carycoombe3380]

That was me that sent the strange toasting contraption. The young lady at the post office was very curious about the description I put on the mailing info. Yes, it does burn the toast very easily and I always have to take the battery out of the smoke detector, in my camper/caravan, when I use mine. Did you happen to see the instructions I included in the box?

[@Vandemonium]

Thank you!! I did see and read the instructions then like any self-respecting chap I threw the instructions aside and continued regardless :-)

[@carycoombe3380]

@@Vandemonium 😂🤣😁 Of course. Wing it. Men really don't need instructions. 😉

On the narrowboat or just around town, you make your videos so entertaining! That's why you shouldn't worry about losing viewers! So glad you also have this channel!

[@Vandemonium]

Glad you like them!

“Let the incineration begin “ started me laughing out loud !

[@debpartin8737]

I absolutely love to listen to your commentaries. Love watching you cook.

[@for.tax.reasons]

Thank you to the anonymous viewer for enabling this astonishing piece of mastercheffery

[@FerroequinologistofColorado]

That sausage and egg bagel sandwich looked so delicious. A masterpiece indeed.

[@markattardo]

I do enjoy a van trip with some of the "mundane" daily stuff. Seeing other folks' methods can be informative. Also, bonus points for a canal fix👍👍

[@davidp7414]

This episode brought me joy, made me hungry, and gave me a little peace. Thank you

[@Debba521]

Deepest sympathies on the tepid showers but kudos on the fab bagel breakfast sammie! Hilarious restaurant in an old police station, romantic dinner in a cell and then home in handcuffs, if you're into that sort of thing... 😁

[@LongPeter]

In my mind, episodes of Vandemomium and Cruising the Cutting of this nature are part of a show called "Ooo, lovely. With David Johns".

[@Vandemonium]

Hahaha I like that

[@allaurence1092]

You're getting good at making tastey food. I really enjoy you're video's they are very well presented and deserve to be on the tv.

[@Vandemonium]

Thank you so much 😀

[@endeavour2968]

Can always tell a good David video by either tea and custard creams or David brings out the cheese lol

[@MissScrappy]

I just had to watch this again. I enjoy all your videos but there is just something about your cooking that tickles my fancy and makes my day. Cheers!!!

[@brianthomsen1163]

That breakfast bagel looks delicious! Almost as good as the legendary cheese sandwich!

[@johnfenton3699]

Excellent shot of the Grey Wagtail.

[@Vandemonium]

So that’s what it was! Ta 👍

[@marilyntatman5629]

If you can find a canning ring, the ring that holds a lid on a home canning jar, you can make a perfect egg mcmuffin sized egg in it. I spray mine with non stick spray, but it's the exact right size and shape for either a bagel or an english muffin.

[@Vandemonium]

An excellent (eggcelent?) tip!

[@JohnSmith-yv6eq]

@@Vandemonium You wouldn't have to shell out much for it either....

[@jjudy5869]

Or crumpet rings.

[@janeabbotts]

You have a knack of making all your vlogs really interesting. I enjoyed the sounds of nature, the canal and park. The tree was spectacular and the river running through the park was a nice sight. All in all a lovely town with some really beautiful assets. Thank you for the wander. Cheers.

[@DanNguyen-ey5tw]

i honestly felt i just watch a program from the BBC lol. The narration is superb.

[@JanelleVocate-Ames]

YAY! Good to see you!

[@billcarroll986]

Canal stuff in your van vlog? What a pleasant surprise!

[@BoiledOctopus]

"...and off I went home." Collecting your camera on the fence beforehand of course! 🤣 Sometimes forget the time and effort it takes to make these videos. Another entertaining viewing. Thanks David!

[@Vandemonium]

Cheers!

[@TheGhostofJTWalsh]

Hehe you said "Grotty" which I've said for 25 years after watching a hard day's night, haven't heard it said in the wild much, especially on KZbin, it should make a comeback!

[@r.p.mcmurphy6623]

I've been saying grotty for almost 60 years after hearing it from George. And I'm a Yank.

[@Scodiddly]

I watch enough Brits on KZbin that I’ve taken to inventing my own British slang. “Winky-wombley” is my signature phrase now.

[@roberthagood4770]

That was a good looking sandwich. Now you need a cooking show.

[@mickyjb2003]

Thank you Dave, you had me in stitches with your fast foreword cooking, your voice has me going.

[@robsin2810]

Very good David. A bit of normality, in a crazy world.🙏👍🇦🇺

[@acerone10]

Hubby made our once a year visit to McDonald's for a breakfast bagel and brought home a Berger King croissant. No more Bagel sandwiches here in Ohio, either. We were very disappointed. Yours looks great.

[@nmr3352]

The Burger King Croissanwich is my favorite. I like the bacon egg & cheese. ones.

[@paulhoughton5266]

Some great one liners in that video😂 A couple of thoughts for you 1) Brown sauce with sausage (sausage substitute, and ketchup with bacon (bacon substitute) 2) re showers with those pain to use bush buttons. On sometimes take a cable tie and leatherman multi tool. A fix cable tie around pipe and button, then cut it off when you have finished shower

[@iainturner7545]

Ha, a video that embodies the transition from canals to campervanning - well done young sir. Just to mention - in the old days we used to take the kitchen toaster on trips in our splendid Fiat Talbot Highwayman - oh those were the days. May your van trips be as enjoyable as ours were.

[@kimberlyzamora4437]

That is indeed a masterpiece, David. ❤️

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Was great to catch up again! And it's a shame McDonald's haven't brought back the bagel - it was my favourite, with BBQ sauce. *I'd always buy an extra pattie, too 😄

[@slots1407]

Vikkie, you're a delightful young lady and, I'm sure, skilled in all manner of things. But that tea looked like you'd waved the teabag over the top of the pot and returned it to the tea-tin. 🙂

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

@@slots1407 😂 That's because it was herbal tea lol. Can't remember what type they had.

Good for you David, I also eat veggie sausages, they taste good and are much better for the body. I'm supposed to eat low fat, low cholesterol because of a triple bypass years ago.

[@craigrschulz]

It just seems terribly lonely "living in a van...down by the river". :) God bless you!

[@jimmyjohnstone5878]

Take a zip tie ...put the shower button to on, tighten zip tie. Let shower run to hopefully reach warm temp. Shower, then cut zip tie off....need pen knife ! Also, go early. Before 07.00. Most camp site users are not up that early to shower so any hot water is yours.

[@nancycraig5601]

I'm going to have to try the breakfast sandwich. We'll done and thank you for sharing.

Gaffer tape over the press button for the shower might just have allowed the water to get to an acceptable temperature. 🤔 Lovely park, aren't some places lucky to have something so pleasant. Have a good week David , polish up those handcuffs 😉

[@Vandemonium]

Thanks for the tip!

[@loki7441]

I'm hungry now. 😄. An old tip for getting out of sticky situations like boggy ground or even snow. If you keep a couple of cheap door/floor mats, the carpet type in your storage area. If you get a bit stuck, jamb the shorter edge in front of the driving wheels and gently drive forward out of the boggy dip. Once moving drive to firmer ground and then retrieve the muddy mats for use again, hopefully sometime in the very distant future . If you dont drive over the mat slowly you risk them getting shot out behind and you have to start again.

[@OhioticketswithRobert]

At least you can still get away. I need that frequently so this week I went to a place called Land Between the Lakes (Tennessee Kentucky boarder) and camped on the Cumberland River (lake Barkley side) on some bluffs. I watched barges ferrying materials up and down so it was a bit like being on the canal except much larger barges. Happy to be home though. Cheers.
