The zip on tent is called an awning and it gives you extra space when you are staying in a caravan (it's not actually zipped on BTW). The caravan you saw is a touring caravan and is towed by another vehicle (usually a car). A static caravan is what you call a trailer and we call an RV a motorhome.

Beautiful countryside, cute little seaside villages, good food, and it's probably the only part of the UK where the sea is actually blue and clear

[@Thomes-Maisling]

I don't know why, but in most chippies i've been in it's pretty normal to get enough chips to feed a small family with just one portion.

[@neilgrundy]

Yep, my local one is like that. Two fish and one portion of chips will do the job for two people. I asked the owner about it and his philosophy was that it's only a spud and costs him next to nothing. Large portions means people come back and the profit is on everything else. Massive profit on gravy and peas.

I remember the time it was supposed to be a massive heat wave so no one would brought their rain coats.. Then the obligatory rain storm would arrive and it would be the biggest downpour ever, everyone would be running into wilkos for bin liners. That one summer when you'd be walking around and everyone in the town was wearing polythene black bin bags with holes cut out for head and arms was the most surreal I'd experienced, it was like some Vivien Westwood fashion extravaganza.

What I find so funny is that you are SO positive! You’re like ‘oh it’s freezing... it’s gotten worse it hasn’t let up dang “ and it’s raining and we need extra blankets but hey ho it’s cool...” us brits would be like “Effin rain lets go home ! “ 😂

[@BoingBB]

I've been to other countries where the rain came bucketing down but it was all part of the experience and didn't dampen our spirits at all. Maybe its because we were on holiday? I think we have had rain (or snow) just about every day since the new year started and I can truthfully say my spirits left about 3 weeks ago - but I'm at home and its different when your at home! In Italy at least it was warm rain... lol

Glad you liked it. There are real chippys in every town / main street in the UK, not just the coast by the way. You can only get 'real' fish and chips from a chippy, u will never get it the same at a pub or cafe or anywhere else, has to be a chippy, and they are everywhere. some better than others granted, but the taste is the same style. Oh, and you missed out on mushy peas!!!!!! Another point of interest is that i can confirm that having spent some time in New Zealand, their fish n chips is identical to the UK and just as popular, they took that over from us, also in Australia its exactly the same and very popular.

The fish is cooked in batter made with beer! This makes it quickly form a light airtight crust around the fish, which therefore never even touches the cooking oil or fat. The steam you see on opening the result shows how the fish has basically been poached. Nothing could be better. I'm hungry.

The Endless Adventure. You seem like nice people, I hope Britain treated you well on your stay, you are always welcome. I'm afraid the weather is unpredictable, but it's what makes our country green and great too, we are rarely short of fresh water! It's also the number one talking point and conversation ice breaker! In my opinion there is nowhere better than a warm English summer morning in July, or sitting in a pub in front of roaring log fire in the winter, so you get the full extremes. Now onto the food! Looks like you went to a good place for fish and chips, Mevagissey in Cornwall. Quality varies from chippy to chippy but yours looked so fresh and tasty I want to try it myself from this place! But if you do it again may I offers some tips? Like skip breakfast and wait till you're really hungry, it tastes even better then and you can eat it all. We hate waste you see. Fish and chips is one of the top dishes of the world (even famous chefs and critics will agree), and no harm in dressing it up a bit! So... Great on it's own with salt and vinegar eaten with fingers, but awesome with mushy peas, curry sauce, bread and butter, lashings of hot tea. Of course you can eat it this way with a knife and fork (no rules) but remember always go to a traditional chip shop, it's simply never the same in a posh restaurant. This is basically British street food and we love it that way. Now for pudding! Cornish ice cream comes no better than what you tried so you had the best. How do I know? Long ago I once worked for Mr Kelly. He used the best Cornish milk and cream from Cornwall's lush wet green pastures. He was Italian. Need I say more?

[@mmmmikkimac]

I was lucky to travel to London, England and Edinburgh, Scotland in 1992 - while in Edinburgh I ate lunch two days in a row at The Clam Shell just down the street from St. Giles - the fish and chips were to die for - I thought I'd died and gone to heaven - VERY generous portions - and I was reminded by two elderly Scottish gents that the Scots use Haddock (which I love) and the English use Cod for their fish - the malt vinegar sauce is delicious - I have an empty bottle of Gold Star brown sauce that was a souvenior - love the memories - wish I had not waited so long to see both places.

James Masters: The 'second floor' (first floor throughout the British Isles) is correctly termed upper deck, or even top deck. That's why they are known by the colloguial term 'double-decker'.

[@PhilippaRoseIliffe]

In England not many people have RV’s or large camper vans. Instead, we have caravans that we tow with our cars and then we buy things called awnings that zip along the outside to give some added living space. You can get so many different types so it’s very flexible xx

[@keironwright6947]

Awesome, better than any so called "professional" travel programme I've ever seen because it gives a more real experience of the places they go and the sort things you're likely to see when travel programmes go places most people can't afford, so give you a true experience of what it's like to visit these places on a budget.

I really enjoyed watching this, it’s very interesting watching you lot explore where I live.

[@steverogers1039]

Good video guys. Cornwall is awesome for seafood whether its top quality Fish and Chips or Michelin starred Fish restaurants. One small point, 'Eton mess' is pronounced 'Eeeeton Mess', after the famous desert created at 'Eton College'.

[@John_Flanery]

Where you got the fish and chips was in Mevagissey used to visit there a lot as a child and my grand pedants lived there very weird coming across it in a video 😁

[@anghinetti]

John Flanery: At the risk of being accused of being pedantic, who or what are grand pedants?

[@StuntdoubleDane]

Im a Yorkshireman living in Germany. I proper miss fish and chips, everytime im home i always go to whitby for a chippy. Best fish and chips ive ever tasted are from Riverside chipshop in whitby.

[@singletrackjunkie3603]

Emperor of Yorkshire Ive found that chippy on big curved corner on the east side to be the best in Whitby so far. They do skin on like fried fish is meant to be.

[@StuntdoubleDane]

Whats it called mate ? The one i got to, is just a little bit outside of the centre so its not so well known to tourists, but is always full with the locals. The people in there are really lovely people too.

[@singletrackjunkie3603]

Hadleys on church street. Occasionally a queue but nothing like the touristy second mortgage type places like Trenchers and The Magpie.

[@ronia3181]

Emperor of Yorkshire I'm American, spent a month in GB this past July, I miss proper fish & chips as well. And, Toad in the Hole.

[@StuntdoubleDane]

Ill try it next time im over mate. My brother insisted to go the the magpie last year, fish was about half the size what you get at the other places, and it was more expensive. Wont be going there again.

[@BetsyH]

I love hearing the rain.

[@DollyLocksable]

wow that tent looks super cosy!!! and the fish n chips looks amazing, man it must be cosy eating fish n chips by the docks and staying in super cosy a tent when its raining outside!

[@templetonpeck393]

RE: Your question about zip on RV tents. Those aren't RVs, we call them Caravans. Because our caravans are hooked up to a car, and often smaller than one of your large RVs, it allows us to have an extra bit of room so a family aren't climbing all over eachother. They also provide fresh air without the risk of getting soaked. I think if our Caravans were the size of your RVs, we would only have awnings rather than space maximising tents. But then, anyone who has a caravan needs to have their head examined, but that's a different topic for another day.

[@mouthstick-gaming]

I feel I should apologise for the horrible weather...but that's the UK for you I'm afraid!

[@NR-jr4sf]

Where does that idea come from? It’s so hot here

[@louisasmiles]

Don't apologize. The weather is brilliant

[@mintybadger1238]

Jokes on you were having best summer in decades

[@maxwellfan55]

Why apologise? We have no shortage of fresh water, lovely green fields and a conversation point!

[@JulieWallis1963]

MouthstickGaming why? At least we in the uk have real weather, it varies. We can and do have four seasons in one day. Our countryside is lush and green most of the time, our cattle is outside for more than half the year, our seasons change, we rarely suffer extremes of weather, we are quite warm for such a northern country. Yet *you* feel you need to apologise.

[@sugarcanemangoes9001]

Love your guys’ vlogs! Ive only recently discovered them and I’m addicted! You guys should add the temperature and season/month on your vids for reference! :)

[@stephenmcabe9137]

fantastic video loved watching you guys,as a Scotsman im glad u enjoyed a wee bit of the old UK

[@PHcomics]

If you ever come back over to the UK and travel thought Staffordshire you have to try a north staffordshire oatcake

Paul Hurst Haha yes they should! Personal favourite, cheese, bacon and tomato!

[@anghinetti]

Paul Hurst: Just picture the average tourist making the journey to England and then making a bee-line for Staffordshire just to sample bloody oatcakes. Then once they've sated their hunger for oatckakes heading straight back home.

[@eleanorheptinstall3499]

next time have fish and chips with mushy peas and some bread and butter. The best place for fish and chips is Whitby, North Yorkshire, Padstow & Looe in Cornwall are also very good for fish 'n' chips

[@ianchamberlin]

David Heptinstall Definitely the best I've had were in Looe!

[@danielstubbs3500]

Loved Mevagissey when I was in Cornwall on holiday. You can get Cornish Pasties in a shop before going into town. Went all over the place in the week spent there. Even found ancient fort works over looking the river down from Truro.

[@helengrainger8488]

I love the sound of rain on a tent

"the coating on the fish " omg BATTER *dramatically inhales * *it's...a...BATTER*

[@jgilly3362]

As a chef I was insulted when they said coating

[@citizenavatar]

very unlucky with the weather 2018 was the hottest longest dryest summer ever...

Can't beat fish'n'chips washed down with a large mug of tea.

Out of all the Americans that post VLOGs about being in the UK - YOU are the most grounded, gracious, interesting and intelligent. Keep up the good work, love it!

[@amanofmanyparts9120]

I'd already decided to have some fish, chips and mushy peas for my evening meal (maybe a couple of slices of brown bread and butter). The peas are steeping in some hot water and bicarb as I write this. Ps. Before my health went sideways I used to own and run a chippy.

[@fredekaeron2802]

Hey boys and girls you were not in St Austell eating your fish and chips you were in a fish village called Mevagissey.

[@Theendlessadventure]

+fred ekaeron we were actually in St Austell at first, then drove to Mevagissey - forgot to mention it!

[@Buckblacket]

Mevagissey is amazing. Didn't know anything about it but was staying at a Travel Lodge in St Austell and we went out for a little drive before bed, found this gem of a place and was absolutely blown away!

[@JackThomasCollins]

You are brave to call Cornwall, English.

[@davidmellish3295]

Keith Mathews well whether Cornish people like it or not Cornwall is in England

[@dancingmoth7517]

So fascinating to get an outside point of view on things which seem so everyday, like fish and chips!

[@ufewl]

Lol sorry about the weather, that is a proper British Holiday you are enjoying, getting soaked is part of the fun! Looks like you enjoyed it despite the rain! Dealing with this weather is character building!

[@alynette]

i've lived in england since december and still haven't been to a chippy shop haha i need to get on that pronto because that looked delicious :D

[@cr03ks]

They are literally everywhere

[@kalilou2]

Fish n chips looked lush and the tent/caravan holiday I've had great times, even when it's rained 👍

Enjoyed the video guys. You seem like excellent company for a road trip.
