The Moment You Realise You've Forgot Your Passport

[@davidmonkman1767]

The reason why you've got to 40.000 is that your videos are brilliant through rain or shine you always deliver and you and hellebobs are so down to earth.

[@Slowmartian]

Ye and these vlogs are nothing without James. 😀

[@bythecurb]

Thank you David 🙂

[@claireleamy3168]

Yes the quality of yout videos stand alone. Their success is not dependant on the fact that you live in a van. So when you and Helen get your forever home, I sincerely hope you will continue your channel and continue producing videos...Because I have a feeling that your subscribers will remain loyal and be keen to see where life takes you. We are jnvested in you as people, not in the circumstances of your life at any given time. X

[@carole_Uk]

Nice one James on reaching 40k. Well deserved. Love Helen but I disagree with whoever....I think with or without helen your channel is brill and down to earth that's what we love bout you. ❤

Thank you Carole 😊

[@lynnramsay315]

James you are the reason I watch your channel so please don’t think it’s all about Helen as much as I love her I love you too 😁

No it's not that bad without Helen. We love watching you on your own too James. Much love. xx

That hotel, I couldn’t stay there, too dirty I like the videos with or without Helen You just look happier when Helen’s with you and you have someone to bounce off

Well done In reaching 40,000..Watched you from the very start..Hubby and I watch you,and you and Helen every video. Keep doing what you are doing. I used to have two labs..One golden and black, Beau and Alice..Gone to the spirit in the sky now. Yep labs are great dogs.

Golden retriever are the best, so placid and gentle. Your pal for life😌xxxxxxxx 10:53

[@jillcharnock4986]

It’s so sweet how lost you seem without Helen. But enjoying all this childhood reminiscing can just see you with a Golden Retriever on the seat at the side of you ❤

[@bythecurb]

I'd love that 🙂

[@Al-eo4em]

You make this channel too James, as much as it is good with the both of you, you still produce good content and is good veiwing. Don't be discouraged mate, keep up the good content.

[@Ian-qt5qs]

Without Helen you are bored and lonely, bless you both.

[@mum-0217]

You deserve 40K with all the work you and helibobs have put in. Every video is so down to earth and straight up, I respect the fact that you have a back bone and you tell things as they are..Please keep this up.

[@leslietaylor1668]

We love you as well James don’t worry keep the good work up

When I first started watching you James you only had 1000 subscribers …. you’ve got so professional but still down to earth and “normal “ love your vlogs and have got family members and friends to watch you 🎉 here’s to 50,000 🎉 and more 🙂

[@bythecurb]

Thank you Jackie, I really appreciate that 🙂

[@jameswadsworth2604]

James!!! I didn't know you lived in Swinetown. My mum is from Kimmy and shopped in ur Grandmas shop. Fair play mate, love watching ur videos

[@louisathomas945]

You make us laugh so much with your dry sense of humour, my husband is from Yorkshire you sound like peas in a pod ! Also love a Labrador ! Best dog ever , less hair than a retriever too !

[@bythecurb]

I had a labrador years ago. Brilliant dog

[@carolineahern9568]

I';m very surprised you don't have more subscribers, you and Helen are very likeable people. Take care x.

[@thelmabrindley2369]

Great vlog again and James YES YES YES to having a Golden Retriever. I had two, a girl Libby and a boy called Barney. The girl was so laid back and the best dog ever, the boy was nuts when he was younger but he mellowed as he got older but was never as loving as "my girl". They are an amazing breed to own. Congrats on the 40K, very well deserved.

[@bythecurb]

Thank you, I'd really love one but my van is just not big enough. Maybe later in the year when I upgrade the van

[@JasonDodson-s9z]

Congratulations on the 40,000 subscribers James and Helen, you deserve all the success because you are just being yourselves, even if you have a posh voice at times lol. I think it is time that Aldi sponsored the channel though, you have done enough subtle brand endorsement for them over the past year, it is only fair that they give something back. Hope you have a safe journey back home Helen.

[@bythecurb]

Thanks, I'd settle for an Aldi sponsorship 😂

[@lcfcgrayforeverafox3603]

As wonderful as Helen is,I love the vlogs where you're out on your own visiting all the different places,very much like the the Bald and Bankrupt vlogs- and he has over 4 million subscribers,your channel is every bit as good,keep doing what you're doing and heres to 50k.

[@bythecurb]

Wow, thank you so much 🙂

[@pete7179]

Given you a shout out on Bald and Bankrupts latest vlog around Plymouth,his subscribers are sure to enjoy your vlogs too.

[@JohnElsenPlus]

The little piece with Helen worked really well.

[@zyllinui]

Your channel is great dude. Helen obviously adds a different vibe but I enjoy your uploads, it's such an easy going pace you have. It's pretty harsh what that commenter said , some folk just enjoy being critical.

Well done James on your 40k subscribers. Love the videos of you and Helen. Proper Lovely down to earth couple. The missus and i love watching your videos with a nice drink or two 😀😀

[@westcountrywanderer01]

This is a blast from the past. When we were kids we used to walk from Romish and play up there for hours catching frogs at Pottery Pond. Mental when ya think about it, must have only been around 8 years old. Wandering the streets, doing what we wanted. Great times. Feel sorry for kids these days.

[@davidcockayne4502]

You are both great and together something really special.

[@grandadknows]

James, you are the foundation, and Helen the building (sorry-ex builder). You both are there because of the other, irrespective of whether you’re together or not. A couple who found each other and a way to share their experiences with us. Never doubt yourself buddy, you’re on the right path, keep going, the majority of us are loving it. What happened at the end? No sithee! Sithee Andy & Glen.

[@bythecurb]

Andy & Glen, I really need to up my sithee game again!

[@grandadknows]

@@bythecurb appreciate the belated sithee. I’m currently attempting to encourage an appreciation society for the Curbside ‘Sithee’ and other Yorkshireese. Hoping you can offer some insight into the sithee use and other Yorkshire use of the more traditional language? Maybe some of us Yorkshire folk could offer some ‘samples’ of same? Maybe a book deal James. ? What do you think? Andy & Glen.

I love hearing the Yorkshire accent. Don’t feel like your videos are not good without Helen in them. I love all your videos The ones with just you in are funny and enjoyable and interesting. You are down to earth and real and say it like it is like a true Yorkshire man. Keep up the great videos❤

Hello James just to say we love your blogs with or without Helen, bless Helen with her passport easily done all turned out OK in the end. A beard would suit you, also a nice handlebar moustache. It does not take long to get over the wirey feeling. I have had a beard since I was 18. I'm now in my early 60s. Keep the good work up all the best for now. Andy and Pat from Norfolk.

Ignore the comment James, it was only one person and you can see from all of these comments that everyone else disagrees. I love seeing Helen in your videos she adds a different dynamic but I also love to watch the ones with just you in them. You are really relatable, you make me laugh and I even enjoy watching the videos where you are just chatting (it’s like having a catch up with a friend). Keep up the great work and keep being you. Hope Helen had a good holiday - despite the hotel 🤢

I thought I recognized the place, Swinton is where my family are from on my Dads side (Headon) and they actually lived in one of the gatehouses to the Rockingham Pottery works, next to Swinton pond. I do remember as a child in the 70's actually going inside the pottery structure when there were no gates. Of course I subscribed some time ago and enjoy all your adventures and pub crawls, either you on your own James or when you're with Hellen and the first batch of videos I got into were when you went to Benidorm, which I have been meaning to visit. Keep up the great content and congrats on 45K subs.
