Hi John, you have another fan in my 92.5 year old mum (she likes to add the half bit🥰). I was sitting in my garden watching your video when my mum came out and sat with me. At the end of the video she said what a lovely soothing voice you had and she loved your humour. I of course agreed 😊😊

@@jo4vt A short and admittedly inadequate summary: the way I’ve seen it, British patriots are mad about the large crowds marching in London and other major cities pretty much every Saturday since October (with escalating violence and rioting), and their lack of respect for Britain, the country they live in. So people came from across Britain to get together in similar large numbers to stand up for their countries. This event was planned and advertised for some time, so the other side decided to counter-protest, calling it a protest against “racism”. (If you’re from the US, the situation is kind of like the border/illegal immigrant/housing crisis in the US, groups of people in the US burning the flag, etc.)

Calvary Jackboot - The term originally denoted tall 'winged' leather cavalry boots, which were reinforced against sword blows by use of mail sewn into the lining of the leather. The 'wings' (backward projections) on these high boots particularly protected a rider's knee-joint from a sword blow. The term originally denoted tall winged leather cavalry boots, which had been "jacked", or reinforced against sword blows by use of mail (armor) sewn into the lining of the leather. The wings on these high boots particularly protected a rider's knee-joint from a sword blow. These boots are still worn and still so termed by the Household Cavalry Regiment of the British Army, founded in the 17th century. The term originates from the French word Jaque (m) meaning mail. The term is of Catalan origin, descended from the Arabic schakk. These boots were made very heavy by the mail reinforcement, and are slightly less so today from the use of modern materials as stiffeners. There are few manufacturers of Cavalry Jackboots extant in the 21st century, the most famous being Schnieder Boots (pronounced Schneeder) of Mayfair, London, the official supplier to Her Majesty (now His Majesty) Household Cavalry. 🙂

John there are many different accounts on Facebook constantly posting videos and photos of Peter Ellis and more appearing every day. One of the new ones is even trying to infer he is Peter without actually saying so. It’s morally wrong and in fact pointless in a way as he’s no longer part of HCav. According to people who comment he is engaged, married, no longer with his gf, even no longer in HCav because he has died of cancer. It’s extraordinary and upsetting

I saw here on YT some months ago exactly something like that about a German couple, both very famous singer in Germany after they broke up. Already the thumbnail was clickbait so I knew what to espect.😊 The 5min video was always repeating that they broke up and that the're successful singer and they broke up but they were successful singer aso. I was brav enough to asked in the comments if anyone knows wether they broke up or are they still successful singer.😂

Just love that amazing horse, what a beauty. Maybe the lady's jeans are too tight to do up😉. Thank you John for the excellent content.
