John, we see idiots like this every time you video. I hate to repeat myself, but it's as if brains and manners fly out of the window as soon as they reach the UK

My first impression was "Arnie".

Lol John I was waiting for you to notice the difference in the gatesman uniform when he came back out. You were so close when you mentioned the sash on the boxmans curisse, I thought you would notice that gatesman had returned without it. Also that would be the reason the chitsman went in after the gatesman returned to remove his curisse. Thanks for the video.

A very good day to you, John. I have some catching up to do on your videos, been a bit tied up.

That’s obviously the Big Ben in the beginning of video an symbolic landmark in London. The equivalent of the Eiffel Tower. Unfortunately underrated cuz we can’t climb it

I agree.

Most people wouldn't dare behave with disrespect to on duty military personnel in their own countries so why they are disrespectful in other countries is beyond me.

Totalmente de acuerdo

@@msfrred1st Morons are morons in their own nation as well, and behave just as badly to their own neighbours and citizens. Except in their own nation they'd probably get locked up and knocked about!

John, I love how ❤ you make your blogs, you put people in their place when they do something stupid like now! Never stop John,😊 besides if people are going to a country where they don’t know their language there is a site on there phone that will help them. Besides they have tour guides also unless they are just as stupid! 😂😊 we need you in the US John we have the same stupid people here! From Texas, USA

It wasn't stupidity, it was deviousness and a conscious decision to start trouble so that person could have bragging rights.

Was the jerk American?

@@user-rm4rn1sf4g 👍

Ignorance

@@user-nk7xu8uy7c defiance and challenging, should be taken aside, and frog- marched away!

For likes and bragging rights online. #sad.

they can speak english when they chose to, acting ignorant when they chose to - next to impossible to travel without that ability or have someone always with them that translates - don't understand they can't sue the military or the monarchy - still disrespectful! - I'd be so tempted to say 'well your ignorance is now going to be shown on worldwide youtube" (I'm like that sometimes lol )

I wonder? Maybe she was “dropped on her head”. Or maybe she has fought other scary challenges throughout several periods of her life that have broken her. She now freezes. It happens to me now at any time there’s a confrontation. Has happened a few times. Even just coming face to face with someone in a crowd would result in me standing stock still for many minutes after the other person moved aside and walked away. If I came face to face with someone say five years ago (in a crowd who had a sword) I reckon I’d still be standing there! Pigeon shit statue! Im the first to admit its horrific behaviour if she was intentionally being disrespectful. I do honestly believe tho, John needs to understand we have many people of different abilities walking amongst us. It’s quite possible she’s not being intentionally disrespectful towards anyone.

You would think so, but for some brainless idiots they just stand there. 🤨

He was a gent. She most certainly was not a 'lady'.

Sounded like he said “move back” three times. She’s lucky he didn’t shout at her.

I heard him say "move back" a couple of times, first time in a faint voice, the second time in a louder voice. Yeah, that was my impression, too, that when the COH told him to follow him inside, was because of what had happened like 1 minute prior, and he was going to be told off. The sequence of events, happening one after the other, indicates that this could have been the case😮. I hope he wasn't reprimanded because there was no reason for that😱

@@geliconner9669 Yes, i heard it too, "move back".

@@Roox8115 No, he went in to remove his cuirass.

Why don't they just shut this down ? these people have no common sense at all enough of these crap !!!!!

​@@jc7052 and this is exactly what they want. Don't shut anything down for anyone. Period.

The military and government establishments that involve military ceremonies bring a lot of money into the country from tourism. Many tourists come to tour various parts of UK but very often London attractions are a must visit for a day or two. Like most countries the tourist industry is a major industry from both home and foreign tourists.

Total ignorance

It's a fantastic part of our heritage and stands beyond dippy tourists

Even in Disneyland it isn’t “anything goes”. Misbehaving can get you tossed out of the park. Even the Magic Kingdom has its limits.

It would not be tolerated in other countries! They would be fined or jailed for their actions! Thanks for sharing! Blessings to you!

That’s the problem, ‘tourists’ don’t realise these are active soldiers, on duty, and think it’s all just a show in which they can interact 🤦‍♂️

I agree. Why do the guards allow tourists to touch the horses? I have watched as huge crowds swarm the poor horses. I am not one of the new breed of animal worshippers, but it looks abusive. I do feel , that sometimes, the guards allow for a carnival atmosphere.

Respecting the military is respecting parliament would you care to give five good reasons why you respect parliament is t this a business to generate money in return to reap the returns in tax , the royals don’t run the country do they so please also explain your patriotism and incorporate in your answer some good reason why there are probably British people even ex servicemen on the streets yet the government are building houses for Ilegal immigrants. What are we being respectful to , is it the fact we have been robbed by this business for far too long . I’m waiting to hear your reply .

😂

Amen!!!!

I'm not sure they would appreciate the word' sweet' 😂 but yes, I totally agree! ,❤

Thats because there military.

Im glad they finally realized they needed more help to disapline

How can you close a public footpath to the public?

​@@george-ev1dqyou put up a sign saying CLOSED.😂

@@christinewhitfeld7939 but they do not have the authority to do so.

@@george-ev1dq ah to hell with that. Protesters didn't have the authority to invade and deface MOD property either.,🤣

@@christinewhitfeld7939 MOD property is public property, bought and paid for by the public., the defacing was totally out of order of course.

Respect is a thing of the past, unfortunately! I don’t think parents teach it anymore! Sad!!

It is like an amusement park. The guards are ceremonial. Who would use a sword nowadays

Collective stupidity. At least one of them spoke English - I was standing next to them.

Yeah, people will often do things in a group, they’d never do alone, because when you add numbnuts together, you automatically get a negative IQ…….an Unintelligence Quotient, if you will.

They look Mexican or Colombian to me to that look and they are quite short in stature ... but Im sure if it was emergency in their Hotel where they are staying they soon know to understand English.... But as you say ... Manners and common sense doesnt need to be translated .. its just normal international common sense . @@LondonCityWalks

@@LondonCityWalks Then THAT PERSON should have told them to move before the Guard even got there!!🤨🤔

​@paulinemegson8519 Numbnuts, haven't heard that term since high school.🤣 Are you sure you're not from Canada? Just kidding. Enjoy your evening.

Someone said there was a phone call for him? I hope it wasn't terrible news ... Seems strange to take a man off shift for having muddy boots and keep him away from his post for so long. If you find out, let us know please.

He was joking. The guard was removed so he could take off his cuirass. The unmounted guards don’t usually wear them as they’d be pretty damn heavy over 2 hours on foot.

@@paulinemegson8519 thanks for the info, Paul, it just seemed such an odd thing to happen. I've obs not got properly to grips with John's dark humourous quips.silly me!

​@@rubydazzler😂

I guess I don't understand why the public and tourists are allowed where they are in the first place, to even get in the way of the guards. Like it needs, not the guards, not the police but a further subset of a security patrol , part of the tourism staff... that would help keep the public in their place... behind some lines either actual or painted. Possibly either charge a fee for tourists or sadly discontinue such free access... maybe restrict it to go through eoth a guide. Or keep it how it is and find some ppl that just dont get it. Surely some of the guards are perfectly fine moving the public out of the way... get a little rise out of making way for the guard... mist ppl move quickly ajd respectfully, when surprised from behind... this type of response isn't the norm... thankfully...

Yeah that was very cute. The troopers are very fond of the horses.

Maybe better to shut the tourist attraction down

@@george-ev1dq or make the tourists buy tickets with clearly defined terms, conditions & behaviour standards. Some people might then value the time spent close to the King’s Guards.

Yeah, this location has been opened for reasons of historical and cultural interest. It's time to restrict access again because obviously so many of the people who visit have no idea what they're looking at or what it's for. Restrict the access.

Last time we saw Rarden her hoof number was pretty far down so it could’ve disappeared by now. She’s not as feisty as usual.

Marks are more likely cover rub from a neck cover. They’re just broken hairs.

@@geliconner9669 I think Rarden is quieter because there are not as many people bugging her. Lol

I think it's time Policy starting on the spot arrests and fines.

hello fellow Michigander! 👋

she was definitely at the bottom of the unfed food chain

Not gonna repeat my comment again re: why the cuirass was removed again other than to say that the foot guards generally don’t wear them. They’d be pretty heavy for a 2 hour duty on foot.

Thank you Mike

Predictive text grrr. Should read gruelling not duelling

@@ejfox8448 duelling seemed rather appropriate to me. Lol. They carry swords after all! 😄

Mid 80'sF here in the Atlanta, Georgia area. Hello spring!

29F (-1.67C) here in North Pole, Alaska Beautiful blue skies! T-shirt weather!!!! Finally!!!

13 ° here in NL, Canada. Not bad weather for us. Spring comes late here.

lol, or sure!

I live in Oklahoma and was given a “tour” of the Air Force base. I was looking a an AWAC plane and didn’t think about it, but touched the chain that was blocking off the plane. Immediately I found that I had an M-16 rifle pointed at me and a soldier instructing me to “Get off the chain”. I did not think it was the least bit funny and turned loose of that chain held up both hands where he could see them and backed up 2 paces. Maybe they should try that with the stupid Karen’s a couple of times!

Not all Americans are rude or ignorant. Please don't assume we all are because of a few stupid tourists. Thank you ❤

That guy was so tall that he hardly fit in that box!

THICK in other words....

@rosies14 in Disneyland you get to pat the horse and photos of you and the horse. Then it's done onto the next photo opportunity. Their onto their next Touron - I mean tourist moment.

Probably not. And don't care.

The stall is outside the boundary of the military establishment itself. If they had applied to site it closer to the building itself the Ministry of Defence would have strongly objected to the trading license being granted.

And I’ll bet they pay a premium for the trading license there.

@@paulinemegson8519 Hi Pauline. Yes, that wouldn't surprise me xxxxx

Most likely.

Route.

Oh God... How awful... I'm so sorry.

@@christinewhitfeld7939 thanks Christine. We said goodbye at the train station really happy but she got knocked down on a Zebra crossing by a lorry driver who was messing about looking at his radio instead of watching what was in front of him. The guard commander met me with the senior officer and told me what had happened! It was the longest, loneliest journey home. They put a car and driver on for me and I was rushed home. Although I’ve now been married for 48 years that day still haunts me!!

I am so terribly sorry Graham. How truly horrible. As a recent widow, I can entirely relate....❤
