Mate, we're all feeling sorry for ourselves, with good reason. But, an impromptu sing-a-long with a road-worker is just balm to the soul. Thank you for all that you know and do.

"I didn't do nuthin'!" - best Rambo impression ever! LOL

I think you are absolutely amazing - can't believe you know SO MUCH about everywhere in London. I think you are a National Treasure!!

Every time I click on one of your videos I think, “I don’t have 20 minutes to spend on this”. And every single time they’re so damn fascinating I watch every second. So Hello from the middle of Ohio, there are a whole bunch of us who think you do an excellent job, and someone should pay you more for doing it

Dude, I used to live in London. I had to move back to Brasil. Your videos help me remember that beautiful City of yours. Thank you for the videos

[Valiumtino]

Your Jimmy Stewart voice impression is spot on!!😄

[sarahrosen]

Could never imagine a Brit would WANT to do an impression of Stallone, let alone actually DO a really good one! Cheers, Simon! And Joolz, spot on with Jimmy Stewart. Old movie on a dreary rainy day. . . just the thing . As always, a bouquet of sunbeams, you are.

Love learning about the history of the area. I grew up around there and can remember when Kings Cross was practically a no go area in the 80's. Now look at it! Whenever I walk past that hotel I think of the Spice Girls, thanks for the great rendition!

"What's the difference between a phone and a camera?" No answer from the Jobsworth...LOL! What's he going to do-call the police?

[badshotuk]

Simon's 'Rambo' was bang on! I grew up round there, I remember the old gas works and asking my mum who all those women were hanging round on the bridge?

Can’t resist… In 1964 at 13 years old with my sister 14, returning from France, unaccompanied, we sat on the steps of the arched entrance to Kings Cross station for 6 or seven hours waiting for our French cultural/language exchange student guests to arrive. They had been delayed at the French side of the channel… immigration nonsense, of course. We knew they would eventually pass by there on their way to catch the train north to Berwick on Tweed. We gave up eventually and using the five pound note that was safely squirrelled away, we spent the night in the Great Northern Hotel, travelling home the next day. Our guests, it transpired, came through the archways within a half hour after we gave up! Sweet memories. I’m a Scot and live near Montreal, speaking french, of course. However I spent a couple of years in London and and I’m captivated by your Walks. Thank you.

Now I've got that song stuck in my head "dirty old town dirty old town..."

[daviddalby]

[westpoll]

The worst thing about lock-down is not being able to watch more of your splendid videos.

[markmccreesh]

That was the best Rambo impression I have ever seen.

[davidwilliams]

2 things freaked me out in that excellent vid. The first was when that geezer was strongly trying to suggest that recording objective reality was subject to terms and conditions and the second was the Spice Girls erm.. Anyway, top people and ta from t'north.

[craigadams]
