Love everything you produce – always fascinating and look forward to upcoming posts while still working my way through the backlog. Good luck with the house. We chat regularly with friends in the UK (who live near the Fens actually) and know from them what a horror it is buying in the UK. Seems less complicated here in Aus though getting worse. Enjoy the last of summer.
I feel your pain with buying a house. I've been trying to buy since 2020! But no luck….keep getting outbid. I'm now nearly 80% living in my microcamper. I wish you all the best with your purchase and hope you get sorted soon. I look forward to your upcoming videos 😊
I'm with Sean on that. You never fail to entertain. Good luck with the house. Looking forward to the "teasers".
David, I'm so sorry that you're having to deal with the insanity that is buying a house now.
Ok, so I'm an American viewer, but it's insanity here too now. I bought a house about 18 years ago, and the process was fairly simple, I made an offer significantly lower than the asking price, the seller accepted it, and the house was mine. At that point I felt like I'd overpaid when they took my first offer, and now 18 years later my house is supposedly worth about 5x what I paid for it. Thus the insanity, it's the same house I bought, it's just some time later.
Just been to Shrewsbury to watch a football game. Randomly checked the map to be right next to both Crick and Yelvertoft! The bus remained cruising the… errr… A14 (uncut)
When you finally get a house, instead of rampant lions at the gate, how about cast iron herons?
Glad you're doing well, David, and thanks for the update. Fingers-crossed on your house deal–good luck!
Good to see you. Appreciate the look ahead. The not a narrowboat clip is quite intriguing! Hope this house purchase is smooth sailing!
David, all the best with the house purchase. I always look forward to the next episode of CTC. Keep up the good work!
its got tires
Hello David, I know relatedto your other channel but are you going to be at the NEC campervan show in October
I see a mug purchase in the near future! Since you moved off the boat you seem happier and healthier. The variety of content is nice, it keeps things more interesting.
Good luck on the house!
just so you know, please don't change your ending music! (perfect ending every time) because it will always be associated with "Cruising the cut" Video's
The market will fall so no rush to buy a house
Thanks for sharing!
Best wishes with the home acquisition, David.
Always a pleasure to sit and have a brew catching up with your latest offerings.. 🎬 All the best with this getting settled malarky.
David, thanks for the update. I like all of your videos. but the documentary ones are great. I'm in Maine, USA and have never been to the UK although I have friends who live here from there. The information you share in your documentaries is great.
So sad I didn't know about the merch. Just a few days ago, I had one of my rare shopping sprees and did all my T-shirt shopping for the next 5 years! 😉 Nah, I'm joking, I might pick up one or two more, especially now they've got designs on them. "Narrowboat maintenance tool" is a definitely maybe, and I would buy "powered by cheese sandwiches" if my body would tolerate me eating cheese all the time.
A friend sells stuff in a virtual world — something between a game, a craft space, and a social environment. It's kind-of like the real world in that you walk around & meet people, or at least see them. He recommends wearing your merch, because then people see it; they know it exists, and if it's something they like, they may want to buy it. In this virtual world, potential customers don't have to talk to you, they can open your profile & look at your classifieds or "picks". On Youtube, of course, your viewers would see it and could look for your store.
Sorry to hear about the house situation dragging on. I hope it doesn't get too frustrating. I had a bit of a time of it looking for a place to rent, but I can't complain because it's much simpler when you're renting.
Good luck with the house…it’s a nightmare
Thanks and get that house signed soon or inflation will consume all your money 🙂
Fingers crossed for the house!
Totally agree about embroidery compared to print
That was good stuff… merch orders coming… happy to support the cause, and keep those vlogs coming!! Hope you get yourself a place to call home soon, greetings from Tennessee, USA.
Can you say sinus drainage??
We always enjoy anything you may post ! And thanks for the update , we’re still here in upstate New York watching our friend from across the pond as they say .good luck ,hope you feel better soon!
Great stuff!!!
good luck with the house hope you get it
Thanks for the update!
Sorry you're experience of buying a house has been so frustrating, fingers crossed that you will land one soon. How fabulous to be lent a boat for a week! Hopefully there may be more generous folk out there who will oblige in future. I'm happy to hear that integrity still has value and that it sometimes leads to just rewards. Good luck with the house! 👍😁
Hope the house pans out soon so you can get proper set up, your channel is alaways interesting?
Cor blimey. Not at those prices dude. Sorry
I hope you have not forsaken the old plain cheese sandwich. I must admit that I discretely enjoy the bourgeois addition of lettuce and tomato (as per the splendid T-shirt), but I always picked you as a real bread and cheese man.
Please forgive my familiarity, but you will, of course appreciate the gravity of the situation. 🙂
I look forward to seeing the cruising videos. It would also be great to get more videos on the workings of the Canal & River Trust. Not just the maintenance, but the history of various canals.
Please confirm that the shirt in the thumbnail is fake. Human civilization has never seen and will never recover from such horrific artwork if that is not a practical joke meant to encourage clicks and comments of horror.
"Cruising the Cut Is not about me or my house". Are you sure about that?
It’s the premiumness for me!
Your content is always interesting and your production values are first rate. Your knowledge of reporting, recording, and editing serves you well and elevates your material.
Interesting subjects + A-level presentation = Quality Content 👏
Looking forward to the upcoming vlogs!
