      I'm from new England. Live in UK now for 10 misurable years. Swansea Wales does. But in the UK it's always default weather. Aka. Grey is sky, kind of average weather n annoying type of rain. Not down pour or light shower. It's the other kind of rain. I only recommend coming here if ya a commie, criminal , or want to marry a child and don't want to live in Texas or middle east. There are some nice ppl here. Few and far between. Most are drunks who stab and rape. But there are some very great ppl here if ya know where to look. On the plus, marmite is so cheap in UK. But self defence is a crime so sayith the police here. Can't wait to move back home when I can. Kind of. Americans have their own problems but better than here. I can defend myself n my woman n not face jail time. But you rape or kill or invade a home with weapons. Cops do nothing. Kind of like Russia but worse lol

    Hearing you say "net full of cod" as you referred to Doggerland was a rather poignant statement for me. As a Newfoundlander, from the easternmost province of Canada, nets full of cod were once so commonplace that folks assumed it would go on forever. In recent years we are lucky to have cod fisheries opened for recreational fishing. Our once plentiful cod stocks are quite reduced. Unlike places like Dunwich, the loss of a way of life we have suffered is largely down to politicians giving away access to our fish stocks or at minimum not fighting to retain those stocks. Dunwich could do nothing to avert its faith and did nothing to prompt it. So tragic.

    • @philtorrez4198

      Cape Cod got it’s name because apparently the cod used to be so plentiful that you could, “walk across the water.” Humanity has left behind tragic situations in once thriving ecosystems. The most tragic thing, it doesn’t have to be that way.

    Reminds me of the Oregon coast. There are many expensive houses right on the edge of the cliffs going down to the ocean, some of them reinforced with wooden struts, all of them in danger of collapsing eventually. The home owners can't sell their homes because nobody will buy them, so they're holding out as long as possible. There are others that are located directly above caves that undermine parts of the coastal areas. I doubt they'll have any luck selling their homes, either, if they decide to leave.

      It's not even sandstone. In Suffolk, there are NO solid bedrocks - it's all glacial deposits, clay, gravel, sand, that sort of thing, and a layer made entirely of fossil shells, known as 'Red Crag'. It's tremendously friable, and a lot of the Suffolk coast is made of it. Red Crag can be crumbled in the fingers like a stock cube. Sandstone would have stood up so much better.

    Hi Arran, maybe I can help a wee bit here. My adoptive father is a retired maritime geospatial engineer who worked for East Riding Of Yorkshire council for two decades.
    As it currently stands, the thought on why the North Sea is the way it is comes down to depth and climate change. Like the Bay of Biscay, the North Sea resides over low-lying land that was once populated. Basically, the more shallow the sea becomes, the more violent it gets.
    Current estimates have Hull, Hornsea, Skipsea and Withernsea underwater by 2045. At that point, unless we come up with a new approach, there won’t be a point defending them.
    The same is true of Kings Lynn and parts of Norfolk and East Anglia.
    What isn’t widely known is that the sea won’t stop at Hull. It’ll take all portside towns up the Humber and Ouse. This means that towns such as Selby, Market Weighton, North Cave, North Ferriby and Goole will be submerged also.

    Good video, I used to live in Aldeburgh (or Aldborough as it was on the old maps) and it also suffered a similar fate to its shipbuilding industry as the Orford Ness spit grew across the river, cutting off the industry that once built the Golden Hind for Francis Drake, fortunately for Aldeburgh it was able to make up its losses through fishing and eventually tourism but it still has problems with flooding and erosion, the small village of Slaughden immediately to the south of Aldeburgh was eaten by the sea around the same time as All Saints church went down in Dunwich, with the landlord of the last pub sometimes having the open the front and back doors to let the sea go through. These days there's concern that at some point the marsh to the north of Aldeburgh will be reached if the Alde river breaches significantly and basically turns the older part of Aldeburgh into an island, which will significantly improve the traffic problems in the summer let me tell you. Another interesting place to look at is Fairbourne in Wales, it's a town of around a thousand people at the moment, but has been designated as being abandoned as part of the 'managed retreat' strategy of coastal erosion which means at some point within the next twenty to sixty years the place will be unsuitable for living in. I bet you that house prices are still through the roof though.
