The whole “walking” a boat thru a tunnel thing is where the term “legging it” came from.

[@danip3270]

Lovely. I wish I could follow you around these London areas. I adore all types of history, and love to think about everything that happened in these parks and neighborhoods. It’s amazing how much there is to learn, and how much most of us have forgotten. Thank you, from Colorado!💙💙

[@Useaname]

My old stomping ground. I used to live in Milner Square. Stephen Fry lived around the corner and used to park his black cab outside his house. I was collecting jumble for a local charity one afternoon, I knocked on his door and he kindly gave me a Levis Red Tab demin jacket hanging in the hall. We auctioned it for £150.

[@maryannebrown2385]

I have always wondered about that word “jumble”. How did it come to mean items for a charity sale? Here in America the word is still used but we have totally lost connection with the origin. If something is a “jumble sale”, you just know it is second hand items with the proceeds meant for a charitable organization. We never use that word otherwise-for example, you said you were collecting jumble for a charity sale. We would say we were collecting donations (or donated items) for a jumble sale.

[@Useaname]

@@maryannebrown2385 its just one of those words that has grown to mean different things on either side of the pond. I guess collecting jumble, then selling said jumble just became "jumble sale". Although here people tend to use the word "jumble" less and less, when advertising a second hand goods sale for charity. They either use "pre-loved", or "second hand".

[@vilstef6988]

Stephen is a great person! I loved the documentary series he did taking his London Cab all around the US. One of the big hotels in my city has a London Cab which they use to pick up people from the airport. The primary driver showed me the cab when a group I belong to had an event at the hotel. I'm in the US midwest and I don't think most people here would know the charitable aspect of a jumble.

[@maryannebrown2385]

Gene Miller Really? I am also in the US Midwest (Chicago), and when I was little churches or other groups used to advertise they were holding a “jumble sale”. It didn’t mean jumble in the sense that everything was a disorganized mess, but that they were donated items to be sold for a program at the church or a charity. I have seen that that phrase has really pretty much fallen into disuse. I am in my mid 50’s, and I remember it from when I was little, but have not seen it used for many years.

[@vilstef6988]

@@maryannebrown2385 Hi! I'm in my 60s and grew up in NW Iowa. Never heard of jumble as a sale or for a charitable event until I was like in my 20s. I had family in Minnesota, and they had Used a bit shops where we called them Thrift shops. Lots of differences even regionally!

[@fatsammy5270]

9:48 The most typical example of a typical modern day conversation you over hear in London, despite that I must praise the camera shot!

A lovely walk through time, it brings back memories of my time as a young policeman patrolling the area in the early 80s.

Thanks, Joolz, for brightening a rainy Sunday in New Jersey USA. Cheers!

Brilliant Joolz. I live in Romford, North East London (bourne here 63 years ago), and get a lot of inspiration for day trips with my grandchildren from your videos. We love sitting together, and watching your walks around London. So thank you Joolz from the bottom of our hearts :-) Please tell my Grandchildren that Grandad is allowed to have a pint on the way home, (as long as they get a Cola) ;-)

Thanks Joolz! My great-grandfather lived at the top of Rodney Street from 1880-1890, and moved afterwards to Claremont Square, so it was lovely to see what the place has got up to 130 years later!

Joolz! I was born in London (Brixton actually} during the war. Viewing your films, I now know more about London than I could ever imagine. I discovered "you" a couple of months ago and made it my mission to track down and view them all. I would dearly love to have a pint or three with you. I dont live in London these days, so it is very nostalgic.

[@immaterialimmaterial5195]

Thanks!!! Really interesting back street tour with masses of local history information. Enjoyable! Cheers.

[@jaddae6357]

I discovered that movie about a year ago; it is without a doubt, my favorite of the year, and I don't care for alien monster movies, but "Attack the Block" is brilliant! That is so cool about the clown eggs...I recognize Emmett Kelly there. Thanks for all the interesting history...as per normal.😊

[@vilstef6988]

Attack on the Block is probably one of the best low budget SF movies I've ever seen. It had a good tone of humor and seriousness, and a cast who could carry it off.

Hi Mr Guides, I can personally recommend Pentonville prison I spent 14 happy weeks on B wing for some thing I never did and had my day in court, cor blimey honest guv, I ate from the excellent Kosher menu at great expense to the crown and I recommend the Cinnamon Chicken 10 out of 10. Avoid the showers at all costs B wing has a north easterly exposure over looking the Caledonian road excellent shops but sadly on release I got a funny look when I asked for a Daily Telegraph and was told "not round here mate" and the staff were so nice they let me keep the grey track suit and blue boxers and its that personal touch that makes nick in the smoke so much better than anywhere in the U.K.......Great film again Mr G.

I was born in Barnsbury, Burgh St. the whole area has changed much and not all for the better however a lot of the old houses are still there though I haven’t been there for years, far to expensive to live there now for ordinary people. Chapel St Market was booming though I expect it isn’t now

I’d love it if this lovely kind of music were in more of your videos! Thanks for using classical music in this one. Thumbs up! Linda who enjoys your videos

[@funksoulbrother3620]

I remember when that building behind you on Market Road was the White Horse pub in the eighties and I lived in the James Leicester student hall of residence behind. There used to be a recording studio down the road and we regularly saw famous eighties musical faces in the White Horse which was great.
