Back in the UK and it's freezing. I went to Darlington to have a look around the town, but things went wrong including an expensive accident in the bushes.

I was born in Darlington,witch I left in 1979 for Italy . My father was from bishop Auckland. My memories went back here. I remember still a lot of things but in so many years they have changed so much . I remember my school ,my church, the market ,the library, the river and the train made of bricks . Lovely to see Darlington again, thankyou

@jojoynes4823 I can relate! I've spent the last 10 years caring for my Dad. He had Vascular Dementia and needed 24 hour care. He died in May. My head is still all over the place but like you, I watch an episode of By the Curb and I feel better! They are so relatable and refreshingly honest. I also feel like I've been on a journey with them (such a wanky phrase!!) But it's true! I remember when he had the old set-up, if you think how far he's come from there, it's fantastic! Jo - I hope your luck is changing for the better, and there are happy times ahead 😊✌

It got me teary this one - especially when you were in that pub with the DJ. It was touching to see people doing their bit to bring some cheer on a quiet afternoon. We’re all trying, and it’s so hard not to feel absolutely heartbroken about what the UK is dealing with. But here you are, keeping us connected with real communities, our history and heritage. For all of that, much respect to you James. Thank you 🙏🏾 💜 PS - if in the future you ever venture further north to Sunderland, there’s a mural of my great cousin, the footballer Raich Carter, on the side of the Blue House pub in Hendon, Sunderland.

The Ghanaian intrigued me.I spent a month in Accra and enjoyed myself to the limits of fun. I cannot ever forget the warm and fun loving tempo there, the carvings and skill of artisans, the gyrating night life with talented acrobats and dancers who could balance table eggs on their heads, the sexy statues,customs traditions and luscious food. It's a must for all adventurers! It's the best place I've ever been to.

You are so right about the costs of visiting tourist places of interest.My son was in London and really shocked by entry fees to places like the Tower so just visited museums. A french girl he met thought the prices were too much as well compared to Paris so did not go into them. I'm sure if they halved the fees they would get many more visitors.

George Stephenson (born in Wylam-on-Tyne) was Robert's dad, they are/wrre Geordies and these locomotives were invented and built in George Stephenson's engine works immediately behind Newcastle Central Station and taken down to Stockton for the trials on the rail lines run between Stockton and Darlington. Robert Stephenson (born in Willington Quay ) was the father of the railways ...actually, he built, not only the rails his dad's engines ran on but many, many fantastic bridges in the uk & all around the world!

My father was USAF so I had a bit of a nomadic childhood growing up. He always found ways of doing fun vacations for as little money as possible. I really like that you show how to have fun in the States without spending tons in the big cities.

Hi James, we went to Chatsworth last weekend, cost £40 per person for the market, light trail and house tour, expensive. The food was really costly, a pasty £8, brisket and cheese in a bun £14.00! But it was packed and I thought money was tight. Plenty of barbour jackets and wellies (know what i mean) with hounds trailing along to trip you up. That's my rant!

Yes they have to pay for the upkeep, but £25 for parking (even though your parents were only being dropped off!) on top of the money that people are spending on entrance fees, and more than likely food etc. The past few years I have been caring for my elderly parents (I lost my dad last year) so I totally understand your frustration/anger towards places like that, and it really hit a nerve with me. Anyhoo….keep up the great work that you’re doing, you truly deserve all the rewards that you are now reeping from your channel👍

I enjoyed that vlog James! Honestly...I've thought from the start (which weirdly for me...was the SOUTHEND VIDEO!...I watched it purely by chance because I used to live in Southend)...that YOU don't really know WHY your channel is so popular! So...I'll tell you (from a well-OVER 50s bloke!)...😂... Two things... 1. We get to see places that we may have never been to before. And... 2. YOUR unique "Yorkshire Blunt"...TAKE on these places. It's actually a simple, but also very hard to achieve recipe! It's the same reason that we love... Whitehouse and Mortimer Gone Fishing... And... The Detectorists... And... Salvage Hunters etc etc Just...middle-aged "blokes" take on the world around them. Highlights of this video for ME, were... 1. Seeing that Stephensons Rocket bridge!...because I own a copy of the original biography of Robert Stephenson printed in 1864. 2. Did you notice that the woman you spoke to in Boyes...was a SOUTHERNER? 🤔 I wonder what her story was? 3. Just seeing another majestic northern Georgian industrial town (City?)...which I'll almost certainly never get to myself. So...as much as you think the video was cr@p... It most certainly WASNT mate. 😊

Great to see you doing more stuff in the North East - I was born in Middlesbrough and brought up in a nearby but busy-ish market town called Stokesely, not far from Darlington. I've lived away from there since 1992 but pretty much most of my family are still all up there (I'm in Poole, Dorset now). I'm looking to move back up to the NE in the next couple of years, so great to see videos like this to give me some ideas of what different areas are like nowadays - look forward to your next one starting at Redcar! You should come and do a VLOG down around the Poole area at some point as well - I think you'd like it here!

Hi you two. Love the channel, love the rants most of all love the honesty of your vlogs. If your ever in the northwest and want to follow up on Stephenson rocket you could visit a town called Rainhill ( near St Helens) where they held the steam train trials in 1829. There’s been a converted train carriage to remember the trials at the local library but there are plane to have it moved to the original train station where the trials took place. Keep up the great work 😁👍🏻

Don’t get disheartened James. Coming back from Texas to Darlington is a culture shock. Get to the sea side get Helen to come along you’ll soon pick up where you left off. Love what you do. Keep on doing it. Happy birthday for the weekend enjoy quality time with the family. ❤

I live down the road from Darlington. Too many shops closing now. Binns is my favourite and there's a nice café inside. Good video. .

Hi james, i live in Darlo and it is a nice town centre, there are quite a few independent shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. If you do come back then the library is a lovely building inside and out, also hopetown is free and it shows you the history of the railway plus on certain days you can watch people building a new steam locomotive.
