Was common in large houses up to the 30's when to save space they were combined. My Grandmother's 1920 house had them separate, a pain if one needed a pee when in the bath and peeing in it was not an option as someone had the bath and same water after one. Nowadays multiple toilets are the norm.

Did you go to Leeds Castle while you was in Kent? its a lovely Castle on an island in a lake, i'm not sure i have seen you visit a Castle in England yet. I hope you go to the Cotwolds villages in England like Bourton on the water, Bibury, Stow on the wold, Broadway, Upper & Lower Slaughter, Castle Combe during your stay and also the Lake District in the North of England the lovely Grasmere and lake Windemere this time as you missed out on those beautiful areas last time. Should also explore more of the South West of England, Devon, Dorset Somerset etc has some stunning locations!! go to Norfolk in the East and explore the lovely beaches of North Norfolk, Holkham beach, wells next to sea etc have beautiful sandy beaches. Take a boat trip along the Norfolk broads. i know you like filming locations so the medieval village of Lavenham in Suffolk should be on your list, its one of the filming locations for harry potter.

A separate toilet and bathroom was very common in the UK at one time, I'm so surprised you've not seen them before. In the 1966 my parents bought a nice new detached four bedroom home, it had a separate toilet and bathroom, you see its quite handy to have that toilet on its own, so one family member can have a soak in the bath whilst the others can do, well you know... 1 and 2... lol. In fact all the of the five homes in the UK that my parents owned all had separate bathroom and toilets, two of the homes had toilets outside the home in our yard next to the coal house, One of our homes had no bathroom at all and the toilet was in a block of 8 up a neighbors back yard 3 doors away, I'm not joking, we would have a stand up wash in the kitchen and go to our aunties for baths, then we moved to America and bathrooms included the toilet. In the UK we went to the bathroom for a bath, in the USA we got to the bathroom for the toilet, I know it sounds crazy but its true. BTW that bnb looks OK to me for the money, these homes were built way before BnB was ever thought of, it looks typical of older UK homes. Beds now that's a subject, Our British relatives love telling us they have bought a King Size bed, of course they think its as big as ours, not likely, We've never even mentioned a California King which is even bigger. lol When we moved to the USA we were surprised how big the rooms and furniture was, there is no doubt about it America has what all Brits who move here call Over Sized Furniture, its over sized to fill the rooms. I love your content always so happy and upbeat, good for you. ((Brits in Oregon))

I have a lot of fond memories visiting Ramsgate and Margate growing up. My mum and dad use to have a caravan in a caravan site we use to visit several times a year, to get away from the busyness of London life. And while we were there we would enjoy driving around Kent during the day, and visiting the clubhouse on the caravan site for evening entertainment. Remembering also how busy Margate beach was, and how hot it got in summer when I walked on the sandy beach bare foot and scorched the bottom of my feet, while eating a vanilla ice cream in a cornet with a chocolate flake. So funny as well, when my mum or dad or older twin brothers and sisters would sit down on a foldable decking chair on the sand, while I was building sand castles with a bucket and spade, and they’d fall off the decking chair because it wasn’t balanced properly on the sand. Before cheap packaged holidays became available in Spain many Londoners would travel to Margate or Ramsgate for their holidays, and quick getaways on bank holiday weekends and it was always rammed on the beach. Since then, both Ramsgate and Margate has been unloved, and degenerated a lot with lack of investment, but I’m glad to see slowly both these locations are getting more investment, with many Londoners moving down that way because they can buy properties there much cheaper then London prices. I remember also Dreamland in Margate and the huge rollercoaster they use to have there, but sadly I don’t think Dreamland is anything like it’s heyday, and I remember that horrible concrete tower block which overlooks Dreamland Margate, wondering why the council allowed it to be built, when it looks out of place and a monstrosity. Having said that, I think Margate has a lot of potential now, now a lot of young millennials are moving there from other parts of the U.K., especially london, and I foresee it being the next Brighton in time, with Tracy Emin’s Turner gallery there, which looks like it has a funky vibe.

Lots of childhood memories of Margate (in the '70s & '80s) … had family who lived there so many summer holidays spent there. My great-grandfather (and later, my grandparents) rented a beach hut for the season - the huts had gas rings so you could make hot drinks etc.. Remember going on the slot machines on the Sun Deck (which is long burned down now) where the machines took 1/2p coins… and late night bags of chips on our way back to the boarding house. Might be 25+ years since I was last there.

I found your video about Toby Carvery and noticed it was my local one. Looked at your channel and saw this. It's so surreal to see people talk about my town as a tourist because Ramsgate's not really been a tourist center for a long time. In terms of Ramsgate 'getting better', I'd totally agree. While there are some rougher parts, I've definitely noticed the town getting nicer recently. I think in the next decade, if all things go well, it'd be a really pleasant place to visit. Just hoping I don't get priced out!

A. W. N. Pugin [Augustus Welby Northmore] often just referred to as Pugin, was probably the greatest nineteenth century British architect /designer and is buried at St Augustine's Church, Ramsgate, the same location as theh the Pugin museum. Pugin, the father of the gothic revival, during his short life [40 years] managed to design applied and decorative goods for a number of manufacturers and wrote a number of books. He was architect to many buildings including the interior to the Houses of Parliament, also many think the exterior should be credited to Pugin.

Ramsgate!! Woooh!! I had rellies living there and my annual Summer Holiday was spent in Ramsgate - every year for about 12 years! My Great Aunt lived opposite a rock factory (rock as in sweeties + as in a long and brittle coloured sugar stick - usually pink! - with the words Ramsgate running through the middle! The smell every morning of the rock and candy floss being “cooked” was a child heaven! (Every British seaside resort has its “own”:rock with the seaside name running through the middle) Ramsgate is only about an hour’s car drive from my home, so it is our “day trip to the seaside” destination 👍🏻😁 The beach is huuuuge and when the tide goes out it’s even bigger! The harbour is lovely and you can walk right out along the sea wall Hope you had fun in Ramsgate! (And did get some rock!)

On the Friday, the last day of my holiday, my doting aunt and uncle would give me a 10/s note (ten shillings in old money 50p in new!) to spend at the funfair or on the “penny slots” machines - rides on the Dodgems, the Helter Skelter and the Big Wheel and the finale would be the walk back to their home eating chips from a newspaper (and in those days, it really WAS a newspaper!) and drinking a bottle of fizzy pop - the ultimate treat! - such happy times… There was, however, a tragic accident in Pleasurama - a miniature train crashed - I will see if I can find a link that explains it all

Obtaining bigger & historic buildings on the coast with the great light,maritime weather & kindred spirits at a third or half the price of property in London. Hence “ Franks” van.

You didn’t show the outside of the house you were in, but from the high window in the kitchen and the look of the houses in that area, it looks like you may have been 'downstairs'. Not a full basement, but down a few steps from the street, while a fancier set of stairs leads up to the front of the stairs? This sort of set up is common in houses of Georgian/Victorian eras. The layouts of these half sunken floors are often peculiar, but were built with purpose. The Butler, cook or housekeeper may have a room on this floor, while other ' lower’ ranking staff - chambermaids etc. had rooms in the top of the house - often in the loft. The reason for the odd layouts in the 'downstairs' floor is usually because they were laid out for tasks, their might be a room for a senior head of staff, a kitchen, a pantry, and scullery. Many seaside homes were owned by rich city dwellers who would just bring a small staff with them while they 'summered' in seaside or countryside homes. If you ever visit some of the larger historical buildings, you will often find more complicated 'downstairs' layouts, with lots of little 'task' rooms - in the grander houses you'll also quite often find a second set of staircases tucked away, which allowed staff to move from the 'headquarters' of downstairs to individual floors unseen, and will run up to the top of the house for the lower ranked staffs quarters.
@adrianmcgrath1984
@adrianmcgrath1984 Жыл бұрын
You mentioned the low ceilings, in a house that age, the servants quarters will have been designed for utility rather than comfort. In older buildings - like some Tudor buildings, you will find low ceilings because the houses weren’t built with two floors. They were built as a single story building - the technology for putting in upper floors wasn’t really available, but the buildings were built extra tall to allow for smoke from fires to dissipate (chimney technology wasn’t great either and were often just holes in a high roof). When the technology came along to build upper floors, lots of those houses were retrofitted. Low ceilings were just a factor because they were dividing a vertical distance that hadn’t been designed to be halved by adding a second floor. If you are into architecture, or history - or even just lateral thinking - the little quirks you find in the houses or streets of the UK can be fascinating

Almost everyone stayed in the UK and had there annual holiday in places like Ramsgate and Margate using those large buildings you may see there as B and B’s or a Caravans on Caravan parks just outside also there were holiday camps all over the UK run like kids summer camps in the US making sure people had a good time with all day organised leisure activities, then in a large dance hall with entertainment with beer and gin & tonic for the parents and soft drinks for the children. Very unsophisticated. They even had a comedy TV series called High Dee High to highlight the simplistic holidays we the Brits had at that time. Now you are seeing Ramsgate and Margate post annual holidays where now everyone goes to Italy, Spain or anywhere else in the world they can afford to go. The most well known holiday destination in the UK was Blackpool “up North” just North of Liverpool. Originally a lot of Scott’s used Blackpool as there favoured holiday town. If you haven’t been yet worth a trip with the Blackpool tower and the pleasure beach! (Just a big fair with still a wooden rattler ride) hope you like your trip in the UK welcome!

I presume the Blackpool little rattler ride comment was a tad sarcastic. The Blackpool Pleasure Beach is a huge attraction with excellent Roller Coasters. 😂😂

​@Mark Wolstenholme The pleasure Beach used to get over 7 million visitors every year. That was before Amanda Thompson decided to lock the gates and charge people to just walk around. Then she stopped that so you can no longer just walk round you have to pay the standard admission charge of around £49 per person. A bit cheaper if you book online in advance. Plus it's now only open 10am to 6pm, it used to be open until midnight at times.

Hornby Hobbies - Hornby, Corgi, Airfix and Scalextric are based in Margate and have a visitor centre to see all their past toys. You were right next to 'Thanet Earth - the largest greenhouse complex in the UK. Historic WW2 airfield Manston has a small WW2 RAF museum. Just down the coast is Dover Castle and the famous white cliffs. Touristy Canterbury has the large Cathedral, the Roman wall, and the West Gate and gardens. Whitstable has a famous tiny harbour, and sea food.

Looks like a nice and clean flat. For the price you can't go wrong. We pronounce Van Gogh van Gocchk in the UK and in Europe. Whitbread is a pale ale. Artist Tracey Emin is from Margate. There's a Turner contemporary art gallery there.

Whitbread was a Brewer in the UK, and the beer was bad that’s why they’re saying that as a signage it’s a kind of a joke

I am shocked that you complain at first about paying only £47 per night in a place that can sleep 6, in an old building from an old era when things were not designed to be spacious, but just functional. You can pay £200+ a night just for a double room! King and Queen sized beds are just a bit bigger than normal. You need the SuperKing or SuperQueen size in the UK. Having a place that can sleep 6 with a kitchen and laundry facilities is an absolute bargain for that money!! What kind of trashy place would you get in the US for that price?! Ramsgate is very famous for various things, the massive passenger hovercrafts ( that we invented ) and Hoverports, and it's where most of the small ships sailed from during WWII to rescue UK and American troops from the various beaches in Normandy, France. I spent many childhood vacations in Ramsgate when I was a kid, and £47 will only buy 4 packs of cigarettes in the UK, to give you some perspective. A large part of the seafront was demolished and rebuilt last time I visited about 25 years ago. So some of it's old history has disappeared. That is not the 'Rams Gate' either, just so you know. Did your friends not tell you about the very steep hill in St. Margaret's Bay, Margate? My Dad's car struggled to get up it years ago! 😱😂🤣

People were a lot shorter back in the day. That's why the door frames are smaller. If you are staying in an older building things WILL be all " nooks and crannies". You can't alter the layout. Spaghetti and SALAD !? "No WHIT bread"....NOT white bread. Whitbread ( pronounced WITBRED) is/was a make of beer.

The real Dutch pronunciation of Van Gogh is hard to type phonetically, but it's more like halfway between 'Hoogh' and 'Hook'. Van Go or Van Goff is fine for an English speaking country, Dutch is a weird language.

The "Sorry, no Whitbread" is a reference to the terrible mass-produced tasteless rubbish beers from the bad old days of the 1970s, 1980s. Whitbread were one of the worst offenders! So, not having any is a good sign 🙂
