The govt hate to see people with a bit of freedom

[@Whisky_Warrior]

This is it in a nutshell! The Government is NOT on our side. They have a plan to steer us in a certain direction and are making sure they cut off all the 'escape routes' (van life being one of them). The 15 minute Cities are the plan for all of us, all well documented and even being trialled in certain areas.

James, maybe an idea for the future - you and Helen could own/run a motor home site.

[@frankiebye]

Hi James, I always used to fill up and move to the side before I paid in the petrol station until one day in Lewisham (London, I live close by) this bloke who worked there came charging out being really aggressive accused me of attempting to drive off without paying. He pushed me so I decked him, ended up in the police station accused of assault and bailed to appear at court. When the police finally reviewed the CCTV from the petrol station the charges were dropped against me. When I told the police "Right, you've dropped the charges against me but now I want you to pursue charges against him". They said "Oh no we can't do that he works there, that's the price you pay for being polite". Can you imagine, You can't win James

[@yodaami]

That was one over keen employee! I, forgetfully, drove off without paying one day, I realised when I was nearly home 20 miles away, I phoned them and they said don’t worry, pay when you pass by next time. When I paid the next day She told me that they dont actually do anything to people who drive off, the licence plate is sent to a debt collection agency, and it might end up in civil court if you don’t pay, and the station has insurance. I find it difficult to understand why an employee would confront you.

I ignored him and served someone else. He was perplexed as to why I hadn't served him, so I explained that I would serve him once his request included the word please!!

People complaining about vans being unsightly they need to take a close look at some of these places where people are camping out in tents. I just watched something on KZbin where immigrants/travelers are camping out in affluent places such as Mayfair in London. They’re using the bushes and in between parked cars to go to the bathroom. Tell me that that’s not a health hazard and not a thing is being done about it.

[@iaincphotography6051]

It's because they are homeless and to be fair better to be homeless in Mayfair than Tottenham.

I was cycling on south cliff Scarborough ( Just past the Italian gardens by the clock tower) 6 AM and saw this big Hymer motor home just pull away and out popped a black bin liner of rubbish from the passenger side which split open, most of its contents were McDonalds and Greggs packaging, wine bottles and lager cans. That one action just tars all motor home owners with the same brush, so locals are bound to be pissed off, that spoils it for the majority which are fine respectful and do spend money in the places they visit and leave no rubbish.

But I think over the last 5 years or so it's changed during covid it became widespread. Now I look at it as great just normal people our country should provide more services for them. They spend alot in different areas and on their vans and should be welcomed. Only UK tries to ruin anyone's fun put rules and crazy parking charges. But the shops are closing down.

Ey up James. 'Him' I hope Helen likes it. I usually let my missus pick my aftershave just to be on the safe side. My rants which you might want to discuss are: 1. People who leave their dog's crap on the pavement and don't pick it up. 2. Knob heads who bag up their takeaway packaging then lob it out of the car window in the middle of nowhere and there being very little chance of it ever being picked up. 3. Lane changers who suddenly swap lanes all the time on motorways just because one lane is moving a bit faster than the one they're in. 4. When you take your car to a garage or supermarket to give it a jet wash and the last person to use it has tangled and tied the hose in flaming knots and if you don't untangle it before pressing start you end up trying to straighten it out instead of washing your car/van. 6. BMW drivers who don't know how to use an indicator switch. Cheers James & Helen. Si thi.

It makes me mad, if you’re not going to pick up then don’t have a dog!

[@JamesWilliam70]

I usually find that the Mercedes drivers lack the desire to indicate in a self privileged snotty manner,. BMW and Audi drivers are becoming one of the same when it comes to speeding and general aggression and I think it's starting to catch on to the Skoda drivers with similar sized saloons. Cyclist taking up the most of the road width and pairs side by side in conversation is a blood boiler. Irresponsible dog owners that let their muts off the leash to crap everywhere and anywhere on nature walks, especially in reserve areas. The stubby female neighbour that looks like Winston Churchill with 3 yapping rats that she takes to piss on the grass on the street in front of my house 3 times a day. If I'm not careful, I might curl one off on her doorstep! I've heard she's a social worker so i guess that explains things... Life is definitely testing me ha!

Hi James. I live in a town on the "other side" among the long necks. Moved here in '99. Used to drive into the town centre two or three times a week and always used a council carpark, mainly in an effort to help put revenue into the place. Would spend +/- a tenner a week on parking (say £500 a year in total at "then" prices). In 2003 i was literally two minutes late back to my car to find the ticket had been written and superglued to my windscreen. The traffic warden was walking off and already about 100m away. Ticket must have been written before the time was up and slapped on, to the second. Absolutely no leeway. Paid the 30 quid, like you do, but I've never parket in a council carpark since... and never will again. 21 years... And now the town centre has tumbleweed blowing down the high street 'cause most people, probably victims of the same scam, shop out of town now. Councils with their short term vision and unreasonable greed are their own worst enemy. *Long necks... Lancastrians peerin' ower't Pennines to see what's happenin in God's County. Love a rant me.

Campsite prices have gone up but so has everything ,you can’t seriously complain about prices going up when you choose this life , people with mortgages who have seen a significant rise in their mortgage payments just have to suck it up and take the hit ,I don’t think anyone would be jealous of van lifers , but when a family turns up in a car to park on the seafront but can’t get parked , I can see why people would complain , there does need to be some regulation

Petrol stations are now holding drivers to ransom, it's like you can't get gas now unless you want to spend a fortune and people need to protest the high prices by supporting your locals stores in regards to getting your food. These petrol stations/supermarkets are only going to keep raising their prices on food. I'm not joking, one gas station that I arrived at charged 6 euros just for a fcking sandwich:? It's like 5 euros 55 cent for a small block of cheese and 5 euros for 8 small sausages. This is what people get when you stop shopping at your small local shops and you start supporting big supermarket and gas station chains.

Him! Loving the rants, James. Love the bangles too 😁

[@Jennifer-ep1sr]

We have a small town near us here in Tasmania that has lots of tourists. The small supermarket there has set aside an area behind the shop, for overnight parking for vans. Oh James, you are starting to show some age. We are already there being in our 70's. A little less tolerant but still polite. Have to remember we were young once. However, we never felt "entitled". The word this week is "HIM". Perhaps Helen will let us know if she likes it. ❤🇦🇺

[@suzannewatson7566]

Great vlog James 👍🏼 I feel exactly the same about this Scarborough business as you. I can’t see it ever coming back now they’ve banned it 🙄😢 btw I’m a Barnsley lass and I get your humour 😂 keep being grumpy it’s so funny 😂

[@SteveTopper-if9dg]

Hims. New type of hinged bottle tops need a rant, how can you drink out of a bottle without cutting half your nose off. Saw you trying to drink out of one on a previous rant and you didn't say anything! Why can't they leave things alone.

[@SandraPrice-c5g]

Dear James, Ask Father Christmas for a little more patience. Men can’t wait I have found over the years. Otherwise your rant is OK. I actually do agree that there seems to be a lot of ‘anti motor-homes’ around now, and the worry is that it will increase. Why tar them all with the same brush ? There might be the occasional bad apple, but things can get out of proportion thanks to the Press & Media. Anyway, get a bigger van and do what you’re doing now, don’t change. 💕💕💕

[@philllloyd6218]

Hi James, have a rant about people who stop and have a chat by shop doors and you can get in or out of the shop.

[@callmebeth]

The use of the word "guys" Last time I looked I am a female not a guy lol

[@nigelwatson2750]

Everybody needs to speak up about what is happening. No exceptions. No more free riding.

[@Gerry-dt6uo]

I like hearing your rant. I think the real you comes out! What is wrong with’ can I get’ lol. I am a Brit living in America and I hear this every day. As a Brit I always say”please”😉

[@jacqueline8559]

It sounds so rude. Like a demand rather than a request. I feel like replying, " you can if you ask for it, yes" Americans invariably don't say please. You do, because you're British

[@mange2]

Apparently there's about 60000 people living in motorhomes/campervans/vans etc in the UK. Maybe we should all go to the council and tell them to either give us housing or leave us alone.

[@MarkE-me]

Its good to get things off your chest mate & everything you said was spot on James , keep on ranting & Him

[@shaunmerrills4483]

Keep up the rants Pal i live in Staffordshire now and miss having a rant with me mates and my Mrs loves hearing ya 👍

[@anthonyrobson9791]

It's generally just nosey local people who think they are above the law, having a bit of troubled time with a couple of my family members at the moment, are falling out with me at the moment because I've changed my lifestyle , working less than I used to, and guess they see that as a jealousy thing, but I've earned the right to change and have earned my graft. But it's my life not theirs , also you are right with those signs being out up crazy

[@teessidedroneservices]

as an hgv driver, most of us, after filling up, move the wagon forward or out of the way of the pump so next geezer can get on while u go pay.

[@IanHarris-d9i]

spot on James, recently our Sainsbury garage has just put a Greggs bakers shop in the pay kiosk,, you can`t get near the pumps on busy periods,,, 🙄

[@MrJim1972]

Love your videos James, but I’ve noticed you’ve done one of my pet hates recently a few times… British KZbinrs who use Americanisms 😂 I can’t stand British people (usually young KZbinrs) who say “Off of” “Thirdy, Fordy, Pardy” “A ways to go” and the one I’ve heard you say James… “ANYWAYS!” You are one of the most authentic and natural people to watch compared to 99% of KZbinrs, please don’t fall into the Americanisms trap! Keep up the fantastic work, I love the rants, me and my wife watch every video you do, love to you and Helen! 😊

[@johnmclernon5170]

Hate to say this to you but you can't see everyone's disability

[@franklivesey6266]

Loving the rants James. A couple of mine are people that can't park within the white lines on a car park and those who park in the mother (and father)baby spaces with NO CHILDREN!!!!!!!!

[@stephenwride5695]

Good tip ife used once keep some long cable ties in your car and lock an empty trolley onto one of there door handles.Stand back and watch the fun.

[@OMSGA]

Hi. In my opinion it’s nothing to do with the mess and how the Vans look and how people behave etc, this is more to do with B&Bs and Hotels being protected. I think it’s short sighted not to build a special park up for motor homes. Bans never work and are more detrimental to the wider business community.

[@DG-rq1gd]

Hey up. We've only recently discovered your videos. My other half absolutely loves the pair of you. I'll come downstairs after work and she's watching! And James, just be yourself, that's when you're the best. Look forward to seeing more, keep em coming both 😊

[@geordiegirl164]

I’m just being honest….. I love your rant today 😊❤

[@kezzacollinson621]

I am so glad you mentioned “can I get” I work in a pub/restaurant and that is the one phrase I HATE 😫🥺😞🙁 A pub crawl is the norm 😊

[@backstageboxing954]

My pet hate is people that do 50 in 60 and 40 in a 30.

[@TeresaFlowery]

When on a single or dual carriageway the legal speed limit for vans is 10mph less than cars so if I drive at 60 in a 60 speed limit I would be speeding and breaking the law.

[@backstageboxing954]

I mean car drivers

[@craigstrath9819]

These rants are becoming KZbin Gold. The stuff your bringing up is the same stuff that drives me insane as well. Good job James and if people whinge and complain well tell em to get stuffed.

[@shaunkynaston8836]

Love a rant. Agree on petrol stations, waiting for the driver to move off after paying ugh!!! People walking down the street on speaker phone.... Why??? HIM? A POUND? probably rose water 😊

[@andrewvezey]

British comedy is based on your rants, James. From councillors to computer says no, it’s the base of all comedy writers in Britain, the Brits and their ways!

[@JimmyCall]

Isn't Public land, Crown land in UK? The Monarch vest the management to the Shire, but that doesn't mean they own the land. Also residents don't own the land in the Shire, unless the Shire buys land for the Residents exclusively.

[@iankirby2339]

Now then, I live in Scarborough and I can honestly say that the amount of time I’ve got up in the middle of the night and not been able park on North marine to complete my night’s sleep is zero 😂 Please keep coming

[@ricatkins4918]

..pet hates. People who get on really packed trains with their backpacks on... expecting everyone else to make room...

[@deedahinkent]

GRRRRRR! me too 😠!

[@mitsi_overland_adventures2691]

I drive a work van and the amount of shops that put height barriers is a joke. How dare I go to a shop on my lunch break, loads of these no overnight parking spots is bollocks. If you pay your VED (road tax as it was) and pay for fuel you should be able to park where you see fit. They want you to use camp sites yet the amount of camp sites that have unruly guests that make excessive noise and ruin your peace.

[@nickm3140]

Love your vids but just be aware that all disabilities are not physical, keep up good work ❤️

[@BonnieFerns]

Him love the rants keep them going x
