Hearted Youtube comments on Wandering Turnip (@wanderingturnip) channel.

  1. Don't usually leave comments but just wanted to let you know that this made me walk 15 mins to my local chippy

  2. This video is absolute truth. My family have owned a fish & chip shop for 58 years and I can put it into perspective for you. Before the war in Ukraine broke out, we were paying around £80 for a freshly frozen (at sea) box of fish. After the war, that went up to £250 PER BOX. That then came down to about £170, but it was still double the price and that's only one of the commodities that skyrocketed. Add to that the fact that our electricity bill went up by THOUSANDS and it kinda tells you why fish & chip shops have had no choice but to raise prices. We HATE having to do it, but it's just necessary. Businesses like ours are dropping like flies. You're absolutely right. It's not profiteering - it's survival. Plain and simple.

  3. Thanks so much for accepting my invite and coming back for a second look! I hope I didn't get any of my history wrong. Sorry to people who know better, if I did. It's been a long time (clearly) since GCSE History for me. Seeing you recognised on more than one occasion was a real buzz, this series clearly means a lot to people. And the best thing about Youtube is that it's interactive and a comment like the one I left can inspire a second visit. I expect you will be getting a lot of invites in future! If you want to come back some day and do a 'cheapest houses in Nottingham' that might also be a good one and I'd be happy to help. Cheers, Rob @ForestFanTV

  5. Don't think you're being negative. This is top class journalism.

  6. Loving this series because you are showing the real face/state of the UK that the majority of us experience on a daily basis (not what our corporate media and government, want to talk about or show the rest of the world). You are doing a public service young man, but watch yourself because a certain section of society won't like it. Don't let noone hold you back. All power to ya 🙏🏿

  8. This guy is more than a decent presenter, who would kick half the wannabee's on the box. Natural, engaging & genuinely authentic. Keep doing what you're doing.

  9. My home city. My beloved Sheffield. The place where I had some of the best times in my life. The wild stories my mum told me of Mojos, The Fiesta & Josephine's & where I spent my childhood in the working mens clubs of the of the 70's & 80's & where I clubbed throughout the brilliant nightlife of the 90's..The Leadmill, The Drop City Hall, Cairo Jax, Niche & where I spent all my Saturdays walking round all of the vintage clothes shops, record shops, Castle Market & The Forum. Sheffield has a very special place in my heart. So I'm probably going to watch this & cry. If anyone has a time machine, I'd like to go back to Sheffield in about 1991 thanks........

  10. A lot of small UK businesses don't shout loud enough about what they do. This series will be a good one.

  11. People who complain about the negative aspect of some of your videos don't realize that what you're on about isn't so much how bad things are but how much better they could be. This video highlights a success story; a little investment comes up a winner. Keep up the good work!

  14. Turnip property sales and lettings 🤣🤣🤣

  15. Reading the numerous posts about Nottingham being less in a decline than depicted in the last vlog, I think the fact Turnip went right back to do a part two and cover areas suggested shows how he truly cares about representing these cities fairly.. Hard hats off to you, David! 👷‍♂️👏😄 I've been looking forward to this.. Instant thumbs up from me, as always.. 👍

  17. Duncan is what you call a true entrepreneur. Took a risk that people thought he was crazy to do but with a bit of foresight and initiative, he's made money AND regenerated the town. Well done 👏

  18. Leasehold: the biggest scam in property "ownership." Thanks for reminding me why I left London. 🥳

  19. As a British person I’m biased but I have to say the wild, rugged, beauty of Britain and it pastoral history is unparalleled.

  20. WT - this structure using Orwell’s book as the narrative engine of the trip is superb . Love seeing your presenting growth .

  21. Never knew I was part of the origin story of Wandering Turnip! Love it. Keep up the great work mate.

  22. Boss idea to revisit with a local. I can imagine you're gonna have a lot of fans asking to do this in the future.
    238
  23. You and Wendall do great work in this field. Considering the financial weight of UK domestic TV channels, YouTube documentaries like these are often better and without bias. Keep it up. Regards from the south east. 👍

  24. Soon, we will all be dead. When I see stuff like this something stirs within. Something like a yearning for freedom and a hope I could do something similar one day. Good for you.

  25. I've always said that no matter how "uninteresting" a topic is, listening to someone who's passionate and enthusiastic talk about it will always make it much more interesting. Thank you for making a video about Bradford that isn't just looking for the unpleasant aspects. And congrats on hitting 100k! Absolutely well deserved.

  26. The UK seems entirely broken at the moment so to hear a positive story like this is just brilliant.

  27. I saved an absolute fortune this Black Friday, by buying f*** all 🎉

  28. Liverpool is honestly my favourite city in the UK, everything is so close together and the gothic architecture is too good.

  29. Great to see local communities turning derelict houses into green spaces

  30. @mcrand7887  no it isn't. But that doesn't stop it from having a global effect.

  31. War in ukraine >> less Black sea fishing and almost no exports from ukraine >> less fish on the global market >> higher prices

  32. When you hear the term True British values and wonder what it means, this is a fine example, hats off to you folks.

  34. 1. I played football on that football pitch 2. I worked at that closed pub 3. I learnt to ski at the ski slope 4. I made slippers at Lambert Howarths mill for about 1 week when 16 deciding it was not for me. As far as I am aware they moved all the manufacturing machinery to Malaysia for the work to be done there and now just sell the slippers as retail points. I live in Tod now so in 48 years "emigrated" about 8 miles 😂 Your videos are always thoughtful and ernest. Top man

  35. I live in Accrington and have done all my life 😊 I'm only 41 mind. I have never seen your content before but I saw you getting the half a brick from poundland and were curious as to what you were doing until I saw someone post your video on a local forum. I just wanted to say thank you, people come to these run down towns that used to be the backbone on the country and do nothing but slag it off and it's people. The town might be run down thanx to the councils ect but the people take pride in what they have and will do anything for people 😊. I love your content mate, not because you came to Accrington ,the rest on your content is second to none. I love your enthusiasm and the fact you can see past the the disrepair and deadness of the places you go and take people as you find them 😊

  36. I love that the third one is only marginally worse-looking than some of the London houses you've shown.

  37. A very eloquent and interesting co-host with you this week - thoroughly enjoyed it !

  38. Truly devastating when we erase history, it’s something we should preserve and not destroy for profit. Thank you for appreciating our history Turnip xxx

  39. As a semi-retired furnace engineer and metallurgist, I really enjoyed and appreciated your video. Well done🇬🇧 I have fond memories of Sheffield and of the skill and friendliness of the people.

  40. Talking about how your distant grandfather had to move coal, and you walk around carrying a camera to record things--having some coal mining in my family history (in another country), I would have to say that your ancestor would most likely be thrilled that you are not in the mines, and think that you are doing a valuable service with your camera and your words. Well done.

  41. What a lovely heartfelt and fitting tribute to John the Waller. I’m sorry you never got to meet him and make that film. It seems he’s still with you though, and all those who admire his walls for many years to come. What a solid legacy. Rest in peace John. Keep on trucking David 🥾🥾

  42. I'm an electrician by trade. I used to fit grommets all the time in back boxes etc. I never used to think where they came from? I always thought they came from abroad! Who would have thought? That was really good that video! Good luck with the new series!

  43. YouTube just NOW decided to reveal this in the algorithm. How have I missed this?!? Some of the best content on the web! People ought watch this and learn.

  44. I can watch what I like, even if it is some English bloke at the other side of the planet from me who goes into moldy houses or drafty malls, and this is good shit, my man.

  45. Emily Brontë wrote Wuthering Heights. Despite what people think, it is largely set indoors. As a kid you think it is a Great Love Story: as an adult, you see it as a tale of how violence is passed down generations and can be overcome - people forget the ending, where Cathy Linton and Hareton Earnshaw are happy together. Charlotte wrote 4 books, Anne wrote 2. Emily only published one. She was working on another when she died, but her rather controlling sister Charlotte destroyed it. The Brontës were half Irish btw: Their father Patrick came from Ulster, and rose, incredibly, from peasant life to being a Cof E minister. His wife died young and he outlived all six of his children. Tragic life, but sadly common at that time. You won't find me being nostalgic for the days before antibiotics!

  46. Brilliant advert with the suitcase, so funny.
