[@2trichoptera]

Neill, keeping us sane.

[@TheOneJoe]

We love you Neil!! Always enjoy watching you each time!! God Bless!

[@pamelamartin2800]

I'm in Canada but I listen to you and watch your shows faithfully. I wish more people were as aware and succinct. sending you love and support. p.

[@sharonakin574]

The biggest truth teller ! Neil has kept me sane in a world that wants to stay blind. Ignorance is bliss .. all that says is am not clever enough or to lazy to source information.. sad world we live in

[@okrookra6542]

Ignorance yields bliss...while knowledge yields despair. You can type the information right out in front of them. The problem is processing the information. The truth is so contrary to the story being told by the hierarchy. People don't know what to think. Average people shut down critical thinking when there is chaos, and conflicting information always leads to chaos.

[@lunevalleyparanormal]

Thank you for another wonderful love letter to the British Isles

[@malc.s.5373]

Thanks from Lincolnshire Neil, perfectly delivered. Information overload seems common now. "The more you know about the world, the less it makes sense."

[@glakiteejit1718]

Thank you for bringing sanity to our lives … sadly we are surrounded with so much hate for our country .

[@margaretjohnson1302]

Neil you are a true inspiration I love listening to all your work but to hear the joy in your voice in these podcasts makes me think there is still hope bless you

Thanks for your videos Neil. You did well on that GB news broadcast.

[@janetpigram3615]

Neil youve just taken me and my husband on a trip down memory Lane, my husband started work as a lift boy in Carmelite House evening news, went on to work at the daily sketch, express and evening standard, I worked just off fleet street for The Associated Press, The pubs you are right were our hunting ground, we walked the streets around there most days, sat in St Pauls churchyard and ate our lunch, I worked there for 16 years my husband for over 20, You brought back so many memories for us, Thank you Janet

[@gkewley42]

Hi Neil, I will stand with you.

[@annaliberated6137]

Love you Neil… love listening to you so much. Thank God for you - your voice of reason and sanity in this utter madness. How so many can’t see the bs astounds me. The minute I have any money I am going to be a big supporter of you and yes as others would say it would be great if you ran the country!!

[@itburns805]

I could listen to Neil all day. So glad Truthsteam media put me up on game with his videos

[@sharonsmith9817]

So good to hear a river of sense in a mad world 👍

[@bernardmolloy6241]

Very interesting and thank you. Londons Fleet Street, Temple Bar and St Brides Church have links to Ireland:- - In Dublin City Centre, there is also a Fleet Street, which leads on to a Temple Bar. - St Brides Church in London is said to be named after St Bridget, Irelands female patron Saint. With the Church in London said to have been founded by Irish Monks.

[@jeanetteschulthe1andOnly]

Keep the print papers! Encourage and support it. Buy books in print, what you think you will always need, would be good for all perpetuity and preserving editions.

[@nataliewilliams9741]

Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

[@mrt3946]

I worked in Fleet Street for Reuters in the 1980's and it was amazing fun. I was in my early 20's having come up from Brighton and working for the Evening Argus and there were so many amazing people there and an amazing vibe. As soon as the pubs opened the offices emptied out and people went them to gossip and share stories. I had a girlfriend Sylvie, a French girl who was one of Robert Maxwells secretaries and oh boy the stories I heard about him. I then got a job with a Japanese Bank in the City and had the rest of the 80's there. I think I experienced the best two business communities in London. Fleet Street and the City.

[@dianapugh1534]

That's right, an awful lot of information, what is the truth and which are the lies.

[@terencemiller6085]

I love these "Love letter to the British Isles" podcasts. They are very informative and relaxing, just what we need in todays crazy world. Neil is also a hero for speaking out on many subjects that the MSM ignore.

[@richardland9668]

Thank you for your warm and heartfelt videos….

[@SirKeefyKeef]

It seems every episode i watch i get a tear in ma een. Great stuff Mr Coast. 👍🙏😎

[@Ldavies2]

Typing & shorthand were my skillset foundation too! Started learning in HS, could earn a decent living by 19, which put me through university where I could take down lectures verbatim. To this day, word from the tv or music instantaneously become shorthand notes in my mind's eye. True story

[@marybarnett9645]

Thank you Neil I do look forward to your videos each week so I can escape into our past 🥰

[@guardcharlie2576]

I started work in The Courier in Dundee, it was really something to get a job there ❤

[@mickbeckett5136]

Another brilliant Episode, thank you, I bought the book too, which is fantastic

A fantastic entry to the 100

[@rebeccamcardle8071]

Yes my friend

[@derekmills1080]

After graduation in 1969, I went down to a friend’s wedding being held slap bang in the City of London (when it was much more civilised). I stayed in digs in, of all places, Harrow, and travelled in by train/tube. The highlight of my visit wasn’t the wedding (!!!), it was visiting the pubs in Fleet Street. I’m sure well known people were there, but I didn’t know who they were. Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese stood out particularly, as an atmospheric place (in more ways than one with everybody smoking) and I could see why journalists would want to have returned there to ‘recharge’. Sadly, the phrenetic activity would seem to be no more - just tourists - and the London I knew is no more, so I’ll give it a miss!!

[@evadaly-farkas6777]

Dear sir The words that’s ring in my ear is how in a blink of an eye it is gone Here too the two rival top newspaper that lived in gossip of the state of New Jersey They are long gone in the late 1980’s All the news we gravitated too or the various news outlets Gone In a blink of one’s eye All gone how when it mattered And wonderful to hear you speak of history and you journey Very awe inspiring

[@gordonrobertson404]

Very informative, thank you !

[@carolinecrosbie7367]

How interesting as always! My aunt is still in Annan and my mum and dad were from Dumfries and Thornhill 😊

[@katherinecollins4685]

Great video

[@Inisfad]

LOL….When I learned typing in school, I never thought I was learning a real skill or a trade. But in this era of the internet it has held me in good stead where, like Neil, I can type faster than I can speak. My sympathies to those who still hunt and peck with one or two fingers….how frustrating it must be to slow your thoughts down, so that they are in time with your typing…..

[@deanthefish314]

That was excellent ! That express building is something else

[@juliamacdonald294]

I also learned to do shorthand and typing with proper keyboard skills. I really enjoyed both and still make use of these skills, especially keyboard. I know exactly what you mean.😊

[@janicenicholson-taylor7404]

Very interesting.

[@johnbruce2868]

Information nightmare. The mobile phone and internet is the worst Pandora's Box in the history of Humanity.

[@darranwikeepa7079]

Two things: Wow, I thought I was old when I learned to touch type in my late 20s. I did Security for a major newspaper in New Zealand and the thing I remember most was the amount of booze about the place. Thanks to you I now know why lol.

[@rightasrain7949]

Wonder what the river Fleet looked like in the past with its mills and bustling activity before it became an underground sewer? Makes one wish for a glimpse into the past.

It was probably bright green and smelt like rotten eggs!

[@christinemaguire9746]

Yes wouldn't it be wonderful to take a glimpse into the past.

Neil for Scottish leader - he is a proper patriot and a kind smart person -

[@LisaVesander.Creative]

Unfortunately, you can't trust what used to be a national newspaper or channel on TV anymore, Neil, the A.B.C. in Australia is full of activists instead of non-biased journalists, it makes my heart break. So many people cry out for decent journalism and where do we find it?? Thank you for the podcast, very interesting.

[@VDP207]

Thanks Neil. I dont think this topic receives enough consideration as a huge reason why so many are confused, divided, and often grossly ignorant of world history and the present state of affairs we find ourselves in. And this deluge of information is certainly a useful and, likely deliberate, tactic imposed from the top. All this results in a global conversation that has melted into a homogenous incoherent static, and rendered completely illegible.

[@rebeccamcardle8071]

There are many love stories that British history deserve. Take Victoria bc. My home town. To this day I love the British influence of this city. It’s almost gone but there are vestiges. The whole tourist industry is based on it. I get the real deal with you though.

[@PhilosopherNewport]

And when is Neil gonna ask aloud, Why is there a noticeable increased number of "sudden deaths/died suddenly" within the population BUT NOT AMONGST MPs AND HIGH LEVEL GOVERNMENT PERSONNEL (throughout ALL countries)?

[@AntonyClayton-eq1ul]

That's what Andrew Bridgen is pushing for recognition of. But being blanked by the establishment.

[@TheMentalblockrock]

two very old buildings are still there on fleet Street; two of the oldest pubs in London; the "yea olde cheshire cheese" and "the old bell", both 17th Century pubs. But, we can beat that by a mile in East Kent, Sandwich has the Crispin inn that dates from 1491!!!!

ha Neil mentioned 16C, hnce the 17C pubs still there.....

[@manofkent4472]

i worked with an ex- type setter. As a worker they had suspicions about why the union rep had more pay envelopes than people in the dept. But it all went tits up at his paper when a new girl in the accounts couldn't get hold of anyone to collect a sections pay envelopes. Rep on hols and mate suddenly seriously ill, so no one covering. Finally she took it on herself to distribute and went about asking for the workers to give the envelopes to. Over half the envelopes were for people who had left years ago or no one had ever heard of. The corruption was from union reps to management. Also, the journalist had ridicules expense accounts.

[@Leif1963]

Neil...you and I share much but I must add that the job of the historians- the "rememberers" may soon be the most important. It should always have been but we were elbowed aside in the rush to the future. Your time in the press taught you to tell a story accurately but with enough color to hold your audience and burn an image in their mind...

[@optimisticgal]

It’s so crazy. Here’s what you need to do… Choose 1 day where you’re not going to focus on media negativity of any kind. Only put your mind to positive news and exposure. It feels amazing and reminds you there is an awful lot of good in the world. And then do it more often. Not everybody on the same day tho, because who will hold the fort? 😅
