Had a few comments on tonight’s vlog saying there is no sound our it keeps going off i have asked you tube to look into this but for now can some one tell me the timings on the video where the sound is bad or can you let me know if you found the sound fine as we have watched it 3 times with lots of other subscribers and all say sounds fine and you tube have just confirmed the sound perfectly fine on our vlog and sent this to those having trouble
support.google.com/youtube/answer/3037019?hl=en-GB&sjid=2767607226039671362-AP
yes, sounds fine on this one
Sound was fine for me
I was watching on my laptop with bluetooth headphones on lisa it started a couple of minutes in and was on and off throughout the video.its been like this for the last couple of videos so i thought it was a problem at my end but had no problems watching other channels.hope this helps love your videos.
The sound was perfect on mine
Sounds was good for me. A bit northern though. :)
hi guys just incase you have bought a coffee or left us a super thanks we will give you a shout out but our filming is more or less two weeks behind so your shout our will be coming we never release the same week for certain reasons love Mark Lisa and Chicco ❤
Sat here on a Thursday night, not knowing what day it is. A Lisa classic.
Safe travels. 😂👌🏻😂
Classic
❤We went to Gibraltar 30 years ago with our brother and sister in law.We travelled from San Pedro the queue of traffic to get in to Gib was a nightmare then this Spanish guy gestured to us to join a faster queue 10 euro’s for a vip ticket to skip the queue 😂 We got out of the queue we were in then🙀 we realised we had just been stung and nobody would allow us to join the queue again 😢 Lesson learned we parked in a slum area and prayed the car would still be there when we returned (it was).When we got into Gib we took a local taxi up the rock it was cheap and the local guy was very knowledgeable. Lisa you and Mark seen a lot more of Gib than we did. Well done.❤ You can get a day trip to Morocco.How cute is Cheeco❤Little Cheeco would not have been safe near those Monkeys they grab stuff from tourists and will return it for chocolate.
oh no there are some nasty people you always have to have ya wits about ya thank you for your lovely comment xxx
Love you guys!
In late September there are about 90 of us driving from the UK to Gibraltar, it's called The Veterans Banger Rally, it will be filmed by Bargain Loving Brits in the Sun for next years series, it'll also be filmed by us for our channel too, really looking forward to it and especially visiting Gibraltar for the first time.

Try to go to Ronda on your way north just north of San Pedro on the Malaga road I like that area and have spent lots of time in that area. I’m in uk at the moment. Ronda is wonderful great views x
Thanks for the tour as Gibraltar looks great c
Our pleasure!
Love you guys, the best out there, so professional in what you do. So addictive to you xx
Thanks so much!!🤣❤️❤️❤️🐕🐕
Cheers guys and lucky you, I've been wanting to visit Gibraltar for many a year and still haven't managed it...but 40 quid EACH to get a ride up the rock is a bit excessive!! Great video btw 👍🏻
it is a guided tour around the island in the taxi with stop offs and loads of information lasts about 1hr 20 mins
Got to Morocco for a day on a cruise. people touting for business, i can't stand that. It did have a great beach though. Gibraltar looks nice. Might go one day. Liking the Roy's fish and chips lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gibraltar and La Linea are both lovely. We stayed in those boat house , it was a fab experience and visiting the monkeys was fun 😊
ohh i’m jealous how was your stay
The boat house , was so quirky and cute . Lovely to overlook the marina , stairs upto roof terrace with views to Gibraltar rock . Spent two lovely evenings just listening to the water . Ideal for la Linea and Gibraltar. Will definitely go again as I'm missing the monkeys ( young one sat on my lap ) . It was really quiet as well . ENJOY x
@@Carmel303 we will defo be back
Hi guys I’m not into motor homes but love the videos , my daughter left Barlick 12 yrs ago and has lived in Gib ever since (she’s one of the police officers you mentioned)we go out to see her regularly and stay on the ship we love it there , Gibraltarians have there own language it sounds like Spanish they wouldn’t like you saying they were Spanish lol . All the best Roger
hi roger thank you for watching i know barlick well and your daughter sounds smashing what a lovely place to live xxx
GLAD TO SEE YOU DOING THIS WELL WHERE DID YOU GET THE PORTABLE SOLAR POWER FROM THAT LOOKS A REALLY GOOD THING TO HAVE AND YOU ARE USING IT WISELY
Love Gib went there years ago for the day . Up the cable car to the cafe area on the rock where the Apes are .. loved it . Had a feeling a couple of weeks back you where heading there as Mark said something about getting sausage and chips . Great video
we had decided to go in to the cable car then found dogs ain’t allowed such a shame as he was in his carrier as well
@@NorthernersonTour best thing really as them apes can be nasty ! Saw them snatch a blokes bag and run off with it
Hi guys great vlog again thanks 😊 Be safe
Thank you! Will do!
Sounds fine. Great vlog guys.
Awesome thank you!
Just looked at map the main road to Ronda is off the A7 this road takes you to Malaga there’s some nice quiet beaches along this road enjoy waiting next video drive safe x
Thanks for the info!
No problem with sound great video PR
Ok thanks!🤣
Another cracking video guys, loving your travels and having fun, where are you both from ? Its like watching 2 mates on holidays, great stuff and be safe x
aww the that’s such a nice thing to say we are from lancashire
Great vlog both really enjoyed watching ☀️🚐👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Lovely video well done m8 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Hello! We just to know if Chico does his business outside? We love watching your channel. We are from Miami Florida USA.
Not yet! little tinker he is scared of missing something i think 🤣🤣🤣 he will when he is ready ❤️❤️
I have no sound either ? 2.10 it starts then 2.36 ,4.48 it’s comes back on, 5.50 back off, Luke that all the way through x
out of interest are you watching a tv or on a phone with head phone julie
On my t.v no headphones, one minute you have sound , next minute it goes all the way through the vlog x
We stayed in that aire, pretty handy for nipping across the border and tons of space, definitely much better than trying to take your van in to Gibraltar as some people have done.
Wish we'd explored that town on the Spanish side though!
We walked up the rock to save the cash 😂 Even got Stephen doing it. But it was actually amazing in the end. 40 quid seems a lot for the taxi trip, you could get the cable car up and into the attractions for less or similar I think, not sure if it gets you back though, it confused us, another reason we walked 😂
the taxl is yours guide for about 1 hr 40 mins and takes you to every attraction with stop offs and info and picture taking time so i don’t think it was to bad really
I even click the like ✅ before I watch x
❤️❤️🐕🐕
Loved this it was amazing xx
Thank you so much!!
A great vlogg x
thank you so much x
Loved them boat houses, you'd be ok lisa but not sure about mark 😂he would probably spend most of the time in the river tumbling of the roof terrace 🤪🤣😁🩶🩵❤️
Very true!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
sounds great to me!
thanks paul xxxx
Staying in la Linea I have been before like your videos.
it’s lovely ❤️❤️
Great vlog guys and one day I might make it to Gibraltar xxx
you must nikki xx
Great video again we love to follow your journey and hopefully will be doing the same in a few years time cheers guys
it’s the best life good luck xx
Another great vid. However Lisa, it’s not your first time walking across a runway - you’ve done Elvington at least twice (2022 and 2023) lol.
let’s say a very active one then ❤️🤣❤️🤣
😊
The part of Morocco you can see from Gib…is officially part of Spain 😊
ohhhhhh🫶❤️
Not quite - the small mountain on the "left" is Ceuta, everything to the right of that is Morocco, all the way to Tangiers.
Great video guys
Glad you enjoyed it
Sorry if I missed it but where did you put your scooters? Did you come back and put them away in your motorhome and I missed it?
Hi guys great vlog 😊 trolls icecream 😂
off all the flavours he could of had
Hi both, we're fairly new to your channel and enjoying all the vids, we would like to know how is the mattress holding up and would you still recommend it, keep em coming.
hi eddie it was a budget mattress pro on for weekends away a bit as we are now in the van full time we are noticing it is not as comfortable as it used to be so maybe looking for a new one in the future. Hope this helps
Another great vlog and the sound was ok. Did you manage to get your bacon from Morrisons and are there any restrictions on taking fresh food goods back into Spain and did you have any problems doing so?
no restrictions they where that busy they didn’t even stamp us back out 🤣🤣
Hi guys we went to Gibraltar , we loved it , crossed over to tangiers while we were there . Went up the rock , saw the caves up there , brilliant x went up the cable car . The view up there is amazing . The bus system is also very good x
oh wish we could of gone up there xxp
Just a note that at 8" you say how "Spanish" Gibraltar is and that it wasn't "proper English" - i suggest that you had the wrong preconceptions. We in Gibraltar don't claim to 𝙗𝙚 English, and 𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙚𝙚𝙯𝙚!!!! we're certainly 𝙣𝙤𝙩 Spanish. We have heavy influences from both Countries and we consider ourselves a particular flavour of 𝘽𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙝, much like the Scots, Welsh, Northern Irish and the other UK bits and bobs here & there across the Planet.
Can’t wait to see Mark climb the rock of Gibraltar naked 😂😂😂 errr actually i can 😂😂😂😂 What a cracking place n Vlog ya beauts! Loved that! 🤗 xxx JP
jp text me need to ask you something xx
@@NorthernersonTour done xxxxxx
Sound keeps going from both earbuds to just the left one ?
try with out ear pods xx no one else has said anything sorry
hi mark and lisa its not spain want Gibraltar back as the people there don't want spanish rule, and spain ceded gibraltar to britain in perpetuity meaning its not up for negotiation, also there are more British people in Gibraltar than you think, and there is not more than spanish people than brits living there, plus the runway doesn't split spain and gibraltar as the border is 100 metres away from the airport also the airport is actually owned by the MOD and operated by the RAF
thanks for that tony
Fascinating that UK law says no E scooters but Gibraltar (under UK rule / law) has scooter lanes?! Very strange.
it’s ridiculous isn’t it
Just started watching you blog fro Gibraltar, please please can you sort out the problems you are having with the sound as it spoils the blog as we can't hear you 😢
there is not people you tube have reviewed and listened and said problem with end watcher

are you watching on tv or earphones
But what happended in Morrisons?
we say on the vlog mike
Tell mark there’s a Chinese at top of that hill lol
Haha Haha 🌞😁😁
I believe the cargos are travelling on the Alboran Sea, one of the busiest shipping routes in the world. All ships entering the Mediterranean Sea must pass through the Straight of Gibraltar and the Alboran Sea before docking at final ports - both Gibraltar and Ceuta are military and naval bases. I believe Ceuta is still under Spanish rule and the wall you were looking at dates back to the 17th century. Hope this helps🙂
thank you daughter ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Still no Crocs come on Mark 😂😂
waiting till we get to uk as loads cheaper
@@NorthernersonTour 😂😂
Do Chicco's paws ever get too hot on the pavements or does he wear boots ?
if chicco is out on a hot day which is very rare he is either carried or i an chief foot temp checker,,, we know how hot a floor can get
👍👍
❤️❤️❤️
I got married in Gibraltar, never been back and never will.
ohh dear
Been a couple of times from Malaga and thought it was great
I also got married in Gibraltar, and I’d LOVE to go back ❤
As I said they are radar’s they track all sorts of things I did the air conditioning on them he he
thanks kev
Omg get mark back up
How olds chico
5 months xx
What's wrong with the sound
nothing we have confirmed it with you tube and lots of subscribers watch it on some thing else x
can you tell me what part you can’t hear please (the time)

@@NorthernersonTour Hi sound stopped at 2.08 till 2.27 then 2.54 till 4.45 it does it a lot more during your video i really enjoyed it though x
No sound at a lot of bits 😢
can you let me know the time this happens on the vlog
Hi guys, I'd love to say great video as usual but I can't get to the end of it. Long time subber and actually an ex neighbour of yours, love watching your adventures. However recently (last 3 ish months) I've got a problem that only presents on your videos. I watch YT for hours every day and hundreds of channels (while I work) and yours is the only one that does this. While watching the sound will suddenly cut and within a few seconds the whole thing (usually a fire stick but also android TVs) resets. Like it's turned off but it hasn't as the led light is still on. As I say, this only happens on your vids. It's just done it on the
Is vid at 4:56. I watch koi, car, business and diy channels and have never ever experienced this with any other channel. My subs channel list is around 300 strong. Makes no sense - any ideas? Hopefully it's not effecting too many others as the only solution is to change channel to another.
same thing happening on my laptop mate the sound just goes muffled for a while then back on again
@@derek-q3m can you let me know the time this happens on the vlog
first starts 2 mins 34 until 4 mins 46@@NorthernersonTour
@@NorthernersonTour i mentioned in my post 4:56. That was the 4th time and there were a couple after that too. Twice it happened right after the vlog started again. I thought I'd let you know as you have a great channel and this glitch makes watching impossible. Also i have just checked it again today and the very same happens. Other than this vlog I've had YT running in my office for about the last 6 hours without a single hiccup (other than when I tried to play your video again). I hope you're able to get some answers as I'd hate to see this effect your channel subs / views. 👍💪
They are baboons and scared the living daylights out of me he he
Gibraltar macaques are actually a tailless monkey called a Barbary Macaque
Of course there aren’t many English there! They are gibraltarians! The money isn’t “English” either! It is the same value as Sterling but they are Gibraltar Pounds! The people have British passports (even yours are British despite you thinking everything is English!). Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory! There is a huge Military presence in Gibraltar so the Spanish wouldn’t be able to make the place Spanish “in 2 weeks “!
It’s odd that they accept ‘English’ money in Gibraltar even though theirs isn’t English? Don’t recall us mentioning our passports are ‘English’ in this video but it’s been a while since we made it and I’d appreciate if you have the time to let me know the timestamp in the video for this ?
Also we feel the Spanish influence is very strong especially when they are the ones controlling the border!
Sound intermittent all the way through 🙊
through head phone or on a tv
Through headphones, maybe stereo issue as when cuts clip it goes off then comes on again on next clip, have found its ok without headphones.
@@mickdunn5538 thanks for the reply x
40 pounds each 😂😂 for trip go solo much much cheaper
it is a guided tour that lasted an hour and a half and it took you to all the attractions of Gibraltar so I don’t think it’s that bad and they also stopped and give you loads of information and give you a chance to take photos
Just watched your latest vlog, no problems with the sound 👍 I'm looking forward to seeing mark climb that rock naked..... I'll remember not to look up 🤔🤣🤣🤣 i had to hold my breath when mark was walking down that rough path in his crocs , i was 🤕 expecting him to trip up and add to his other injuries. I'm glad you made him come back up 😂. I can't understand how Gibraltar is all set up for all e scooter's but the uk is not 🤔 seems odd doesn't it . 🫶
sounds like we are getting well and truly ripped off by the english government doesn’t it matt 🤬
