The bad news is, the technology for a pollution-free bus that doen't need cables at all is not coming any time soon. Fast forward two years - RATP Shepherd's Bush runs electric buses only. Another three garages are being electrified and the majority of the new contracts will be run by electric buses only. 49s, 281s, 71s. 65s etc. So, no cables needed after all :)

Just found this completely by accident. This is great. Would suggest you should be writing and appearing on broadcast tv but you are clearly wayyy too good for it in every manner.

I fucking died a little bit when u pronounced the Slovenian one... Why do English people always feel offended when their stuff is not pronounced right, but don't give a single care to learn how to pronounce others stuff right. PTUJ - as in PTUY That J at the end is pronounced like the I in the Oi.

Looking at the COVID measures, it seems the scientific advices given by medical experts are still being ignored today.

Nice to see you collaborate with Matt Lucus 😂

Over here mr fripp

Ngl... came here to check on Mat Goode...but stayed as the show was funny and informative as heck...

I absolutely did *not* waste my time pausing the video.

You remind me of early Adam and Joe

The violin part sure seems to have taught people how everyone feels about the situation.

Who were the completed anchors who invented these rules ? I hear what you did there

When I was hiking in the Mendip hills during 2017, I teased some of the locals that after I went to Frome, I was going to Rome (pronounced the same) to see the Pope!...

4:29 getting implacable nostalgia from that background music! from a game right? Tradewinds?

What we take down depends upon the military needs...so...

Former londoner here. Can I just say this is bollocks. Bikes are literally the quickest way to get round london. They are more maneuverable than cars and quicker considering the traffic jams at rush hour. I used to cycle to school for years there and was fine. Plus the amount of cycle routes on the side of roads are wide and safe enough to use, you just gotta instinctively know where to go and what to do... And cycling trainers out there do tell you how to maneuver through London easily. So this whole interview at the beginning that people don't use bikes cause the roads are dangerous is laughable.

The midlands is definitely the buffer, because I dont think of people from say, rugby or worcester or even birmingham belonging to either north or south

'Shadow Cabinet' sounds like the evil organisation in a shonen anime.

I was working as a temp in a depot that health-checked, repaired and serviced school buses when the GLC was abolished. One day an auditor from the council arrived. He was amused to discover that there was a chain of these installations across London, collectively employing hundreds of people, of which no-one in a senior, decision-making position was previously aware. The old GLC was labyrinthine.

Cycle paths sounds like psychopaths... Coincidence?

A very spotty Prime Minister in 2084.

In the bible women come from the South of England and men from the North of England. The only men that live in the South are the type of men that sneak on to lifeboats on the titanic when it was women and children first. Like that guy in the film. We are physically stronger in the north and bigger. Due to the higher elevation and colder winters. If a civil war broke out between the north and south...the south would lose. The only thing stopping northerners taking the whole island is the police. Once amthey are gone or society collapses....thank you very much. But then we'll go back up north after taking it. Because the atmosphere is better and the quality of the air is better.

Fun fact: Sussex, Wessex, Essex, and Middlesex, are all named for points on a compass, South, West, East, and Middle respectively. But why Middle and not North, you ask. Well, Little Timmy, there's no north because no one wants to be called Nosex.

I dont expect one of the Map(mad)men and my source of knowledge about the British Government (my mom works in the UK, I am from the Philippines) actually made really top notch songs Jay Foreman, you are a man of quality

India : we gonna interfere others border... Nepal Bhutan Srilanka : Ok Bangladesh : NVM have some bullets

I've never understood buroughs in london, always thought they were basically just suburbs with their own council. But it's really more like London is a small state of its own, and each burough is its own little city, or electorate.

It is a difficult one; certainly I would say Manchester. Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield, Hull and any further north than this is in the 'north', but not sure about Cheshire, places like Prestbury, Alderley Edge and Wilmslow are pretty 'well heeled' - a 'pocket' of the south sort of within the north (or north Midlands?). Then Stoke-On-Trent is further south than Cheshire, but in the north culturally.

You guys need to stop worry about Brexit, and just do what you've always done, focus on your greatest export commodity - comedy.

@Jay Foreman well, you know, you always have the Internet. And I hear Netflix specials are the way to go now anyway. Our boy over here in Australia, Isaac Butterfield, just did one, and hell, he's funny but you guys are funnier so I'm sure someone'll offer you a deal if you ask for one. Extra points for a creative method of making your case to get one, which I have no doubt you can pull off. Then your show goes overseas without having to worry about tour visas at all.

Because of Brexit, it’s harder for comedians to tour in Europe. A comedy festival in France has been cancelled next year, and it’s nothing to do with COVID, but because not enough UK acts can work without visas. So, yes, even our comedy exports are affected by Brexit, and I am so angry!

I’m from Sheffield and we’re definitely in the North.

According to Google maps a very large chunck of the river Thames isn't in greater London.

Did you bump into Matt Lucas and did he just happen to have a Hanslow top on him.

Nuke it

FYI. That whole bit in the middle is called THE MIDLANDS....I wonder how it got its name...

This is racist

Why does the theme sound so majestic 😂it’s so beautiful

SCP vibes everywhere

At one time in history Ireland was the best mapped country in the world ,the British mapped every inch of Ireland to help with the occupation of Ireland

Ohhh! I know this historical origins of this one! The concept of the "North-South divide" goes back to the Anglo Saxon heptarchy. In that seven kingdom system Mercia was considered the most northern kingdom in the "South" (Mercia literally means "border people" ) , which makes the River Humber - being Mercia's northern boundary - the dividing "line." And who said a degree in Anglo Saxon literature was useless?! 😂

The thing about not clapping is also to stop parties competing to see whose leader gets the longest ovation. And to stop people being accused of disloyalty if they are first to stop clapping.

Money is power, there thats the one in charge.

Great to watch and to learn about London’s history. Thank you

I need a t-shirt of the Berlin Wizard.

When he was 82, the artist Claude Monet had the lens of his left eye removed. Due to how our eyes work, this allowed him to see ultraviolet light, so in that sense, there really are new shades to see! (Wonderful video btw)

5:47 right before saying the special number is 32, the hitchhikers guide theme music plays. Well played

this vid was from 2009, wtf

Reminds me of Beer Beer Beer by the Clancy brothers

Amazing! #itrepresentsme hahaha

Why are so many Australian place names so hard to pronounce? Because during the war they strategically used aboriginal names (& other non aboriginal names) near their bases with letters that Asians couldn’t easily pronounce so it would be hard for them to communicate or navigate & therefore defeat the potential enemies with the cunning use of words

a popular German carthographer put a non existing town city next to the A2 and called it Bielefeld. The trap city was way to obvious and people find out pretty soon, as you could pass by the fake-city on the A2 without beeing able to see a city if you look out your car windows... There is just nothing .

Strewth is not used as an exclamation of disappointment, as you did. It is either surprise (at what another says) or confirmation of what you are saying (which is the original, from "God's truth"). And is very rare except in rural areas, and rare even there. But you guys are regularly facetious, so you probably know that. Or perhaps don't care and were just using random words to be amusing.

So how do you pronounce Shrewsbury?

Pretty sure Cirencester was pronounced sister, and Sandwich was pronounced sanich. Still follows the rules of ignoring the letters in the word.
