  • Funny- although, Guildford does have the "boileroom" which makes up for the expensive and dull nightlife in other parts of the town!

  • so true

  • Go to Dusk the worst club in the World

  • @gsmith12 i couldn't agree more

  • do haslemere.

  • "The Only Way is Bracknell" search that!

  • This must sound a random place to make a video on.. But if you've ever been to Portsmouth, could you do one on that because im from there and i'd love to hear it! :L

  • anyone went to Merrow infant school?

  • I always been to Guildford with my family. I remember about the time in 1998 when we arrived in Guildford. I was about 3 yrs old back then. That was when I started in the playgroup called 'Shepherd's Hill Playgroup. Then I was in the nursery in Springboard School. Now I was too old for many of them. Now, I go to my new school. Linden Bridge School. I once started in Primary Junior, then Primary and now I'm in Secondary G. And the jumpers are navy blue, and the shirts are now all white.

  • Expensive... er yep i robbed there on 4.11.11

    it was in a shop next to the post office and it was

    £5.95 for a ordinary Sausage Baguette!! Bread 9" long Sausgae barely 6" long

    £1.99 for a tea...no it was a small cup!!

    £1.00 for a Mars bar

    I did think about reporting the robbery, but the wife told me to leave it!!

  • Its really not all that bad. I think its a beautiful place to live with lots of beautiful people!!!!

  • This is where Aub the Gorgon lives.

  • The answer is simple: reduce council tax, prevent cars from entering the town and prevent big companies from dominating the high street.

  • WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHA this is honestly the funniest fucking interpritation of guildford ive ever heard... you are a legend sir... Please do one for woking!!!!!!!!!

  • @ilovecarlajones Thanks very much. I have done one for Woking and many other towns, just type in 'come to woking, or farnborough, or aldershot etc. and they'll come up. Thanks again. :)

  • lol! Great job!

  • Bang Bang I live in the ghetto that is GU1. allow me.

  • so is it expensive than london?

  • OMG! Being a Guidford/Godalming-ite, I all of a sudden feel very special :-D Thaaaaanks! x

  • 3rd richest city in the uk for something x)

  • WARNING TO ALL STUDENTS: Dr. Vincent McKee,who used to run a company in Coventry offering private tuition,called ICUT (UK),has now changed the name of the company to University and Academy Tutors,or UAT (GB). DO NOT approach ICUT/UAT for your tutorial needs.Dr. Vincent McKee was outed as a FRAUDSTER by Sky News in January 2011.As a result,McKee has changed his company's name and HIS OWN NAME : he now calls himself Patrick Murray, and he is STILL DEFRAUDING STUDENTS.Just Google his name !

  • At 1:25, that;s my mum's Toyota RAV4

  • @RJPIL0T I knew someone would spot something like this. :)

  • Decent Kabab though from that van opposite the hospital.

    He gave me a free drink once.

  • This is so true I love this video <3

  • I love how this actually also perfectly describes Guildford Town Centre in Surrey, BC, Canada

  • i personally like guildford, but that probably because i live in camberley... still, your videos are hilarious, please make more in this area xxx

  • @willowtree95 Thank you. I do have another channel for these videos, there's one for Camberley on there. :)

  • I went to Uni in Guildford, worked in Three Pigeons(Pigs!) and The Star!! Loved it!!!

  • @HebrideanMoon Okay, good. :)

  • YAY! LEATHERHEAD!!

  • @tfstopmotionguy What, would you like a 'come to Leatherhead' film?

  • @gardenspoon can you make one?

    :)

  • @tfstopmotionguy Possibly, although I have quite a few others planned first.

  • What a load of bullshit.

  • @Troberttsss Oh, that's good. Well done!

  • This video is absolute bullshit. Guildford is a brilliant town and i feel sorry that you're such a pessimistic bastard. 'a reputation for violence'? are you fucking joking? go up north and have anight out in Leeds or Newcastle for god's sake. I hardly think that Guildford, being in the middle of Surrey can be considered a rough area. Jesus, some people in this world are so fucking negative, why don't you do us all a favour and go shoot yourself, the world doesnt need people like you. much love x

  • @BurningSTD I think you are missing the point...

  • @BurningSTD it`s a joke

  • @BurningSTD said "This video is absolute bullshit"

    It's all about personal perspective. I've only lived here for four months (leaving in two), yet I'd have to agree with the narrator, although I have no experience of the violent nightlife because I don't pay over the odds for a pint anymore. I've found Guildford to be very noisy; very, very congested in terms of people and especially traffic; very expensive; very commercial; and almost a carbon copy of any other built up area. A concrete heap.

  • ok so the roads and buses suck, but u forgot to tell about the amazing countryside, good shops and cool people that live there like me. also, how is the cathedral not a cathedral?

    you suck!!!

  • @rds106 I wouldn't say that there's much countryside at all, other towns are better situated for this kind of thing.

    You are right about cool people, I know many, but they are cool enough not to get wound-up by my video, in fact; they found it amusing.

  • @rds106 said "ok so the roads and buses suck, but u forgot to tell about the amazing countryside"

    Most people's liking of the countryside and other positives is tarnished by the constant drone of Guildford town. It's not just Guildford, every built up area has become nothing more than a collection of overly commercial buildings and pushy traders trying to sell us rubbish that we usually don't need. I'm moving back to the countryside in two months just to save my soul and breathe again. Exit now

  • I totally agree , and live near Guildford. I work in the Guildford and Waverley area and avoid the centre of the town most of the time. Ash is pretty dire as well, if youre interested, lol. Going to watch the one on Godalming now, hehe

  • @Pazaz54 Thank you. :)

  • I live here, I love it!

    Your video is bullshit.

  • @HappyHammer1895 You can love it if you like, but it isn't bullshit, it's based on the truth...

  • Oh how proud I can be that this was where I was born.

  • @BreezesofConey Thanks

  • i love cocky people (below me) xD think they know everything HAHAHA

  • Dude i worked in guildford!!! it was nothing compared to Central london

  • @Jigsjigz No, you're right, still crap though. At some point I'd like to make some 'Come to...' videos using some of the London towns. Thanks.

  • @gardenspoon do a come to ilford... ull see what i mean. i live in kingston its nice but has its flaws 2.

  • @Jigsjigz

    What do you mean it was nothing? Guildford is brilliant especially for night life which includes the bestest nightclubs Dusk, Casino, Barmed and Flares, and it's got the Guildford Spectrum which includes Swimming, Tenpin Bowling, Ice Skating and Video Game Machines.

  • @thefranksterboy i mean nothing as in its not as bad as Brixton etc... crime etc this video is saying Guildford has, i personally loved guildford its a nice lil town.

  • True about the dam traffic, and buses.

  • @FoxTechno Indeed, thanks :)

  • I enjoy visting Guildford , It is the BEST town for clubbing and also the BEST town for bowling and lazer quest.

    The best nightclubs in Guildford are Dusk, Casino, Flares and Barmed.

  • @thefranksterboy Yes, but it is so expensive...

  • Guildford isn't like this, you need to get out and get a life rather than making a shity videos that arnt true :l

  • @tbthehibee It is exactly like this, perhaps it's you that needs to get out of the house...

  • Comment removed

  • this is a lot of shit

  • @TSumners27 It's not anywhere as rubbish as Aldershot though.

  • this song sucks its shit

  • @leeho98 What song... are you posting on the wrong video?

  • @gardenspoon this song in the background is killing my ears

  • @leeho98 It isn't a song is it - there is no singing. Anyway don't exaggerate - if you don't like it don't listen - there's no point in complaining to me,

  • @gardenspoon FUCKING GOD, I AM FUCKING SHOCKED. so you tell me everything with musical instruments are not songs? fuck you, you dumb ape. a song is everything from baroque to noise. you fucking dumb ape you make me incredibly MAD.

  • @leeho98 You really are a muppet - a song music WITH singing, if it has no singing then it is NOT a song. Now go away you stupid troll.

  • @gardenspoon A SONG DOES NOT NEED TO HAVE SINGING IN IT TO MAKE IT A SONG, AND IF YOU CALL ME A TROLL I WILL GET SO MAD I WILL SLAY YOUR MOTHER. fucking asshole. ASSHOLE

  • @leeho98 I am a musician, I know what a song is, and I also know what the caps-lock is for, and I also know what a troll is - and that is what you are - end of conversation.

  • @gardenspoon LOL if you are a musician watching me wiping my ass will surely give you a heart attack. a song does not need to include singing, it can be instrumental.

  • @leeho98 ...and an instrumental is not a song.

    As I end said, 'end of conversation', I haven't got time for cretins.

  • @gardenspoon then what do you call the horrible noise in the background

  • @leeho98 You need more oily fish in your diet.

  • @gardenspoon I WILL CALL IT NOISE MUSIC LIKE THE GEROGERIGEGEGE

  • @leeho98 Well, enjoy your potato soup.

  • @gardenspoon I EAT FISH SOUP ITS TRUE I LOVE FISH ENGLISH PEOPLE DONT EAT FISH BUT I DO I LOVE IT PLEASE HELP ME

  • @gardenspoon YOU KNOW WHAT I WANKED TO THIS SOUND IN THE BACKGROUND. ITS FUCKING PSYCHEDELIC AND DEPRESSING (GOOD)

  • @gardenspoon that solo in the end is orgasmic

  • @leeho98 Yeah, I didn't use any tomato substitute

  • @gardenspoon please

  • @gardenspoon well, maybe its so abysmal you cant call it a song. your voice sounds LIKE A FUCKING QUEER ID RATHER SLAY YOU FAST YOU FUCKFACE

  • I live in Surrey and Hampshire... this is quite funny :)

  • @poloscar3 Surrey AND Hampshire... that must be one huge house!!! :)

  • fuk u I live in Guildford it's awsome ur just some fuck up person who's dad Fucked u up the arse we ur were a kid so if u want to be cockey say it to are faces ur fucked up wanker

  • @harrydude1234 How is anyone supposed to understand that? If you live in Guildford - how come you can't speak English?

  • @harrydude1234 Serious lack of communication skills there...

  • @harrydude1234 said "fuk u I live in Guildford it's awsome ur just some fuck up person who's dad Fucked u up the arse we ur were a kid so if u want to be cockey say it to are faces ur fucked up wanker"

    Such a revealing testimonial from this atypical Guildford resident should be used in the next batch of promotional material for tourists.

    "Come to Guildford and meet this fine, upstanding gentleman. He'll rob you blind then call you a gay. Have a nice day."

  • Bastard

  • @iiQueenOfHearts That was quite funny

  • @gardenspoon you suck

  • Absolutely brilliant yet true!!

  • :O you didn't mention the bearded lady.... you can't forget her!

  • @arrilouch I know, the bearded lady is great :) Thanks

  • @arrilouch I know, the bearded lady is great :) Thanks

  • DO fleet!

  • @SamShaps I may be doing Fleet on my other channel, it's linked on the channel page. Thanks 

  • whats the music? great vid btw, i love the come to aldershot too

  • @ALDERSHOT732 Thank you, I made the music for this video myself. :)

  • How funny, I have just read the comments that followed mine that I posted, can you believe it?, 11 months ago.

    I laughed so much at the comments made by the person that has removed them.

    A sad case of severe genetic sense of humour failure. Guildford is a crap place to drive in and that is why I still go by train, you are right in saying that in fact it isn't cheaper in money, but it is very much less stressful and when you get there it's really an OK place for shopping and eating.x.

  • @roadbiketraveller Oh yeah, that was very funny, I just wished that he'd left them. :)

    Thanks, Julia

  • @PaintYourTownSHIT

    Actually, it doesn't take much to guess what he wrote does it?

    Keep on making the videos, they are such fun.x.

  • @roadbikegarden I will, but don't forget that they going to be on this new channel, and you'll have to tell me what you think of the Woking video :)

  • @PaintYourTownSHIT

    will do :)

  • Make more of these 

  • @LOLfilms100 I plan on doing :)

  • @LOLfilms100 More on this new channel. I set this channel up just for the town bashing films :)

  • This is not funny! Its an accurate documentary, good film work too. But some of the potholes are fixed...so the Range Rover is currently on hold.

  • @SuperSmitters Observation is often the key to humour... :)

  • @fatboy22222222222222 No, I wasn't joking, there are no end of police knocking about in the town centre - are they doing this because they are too scared to go into council estates?

    I know Guildford is thought to be one of the safer towns, but I know many people who've been beaten up by dickhead chavs while out.

  • Big up Gtown!

  • Big up Gtown!

  • @MrDodge36 I guess you like it then?

  • Haha i live here its not that bad but that was funny x]

  • @x0Rebe0x Thanks, glad you could find the humour in this vid :)

  • I love the cheesy music in this! Did you make it? Do you have anymore?

    I used to go cycling on Guildford, did I tell you that? I knew someone at the Uni there.

  • @Danny77uk Yes, I made it, I did a load of stuff like this a few years ago.

    No, I don't think you did tell me that, but I know now :)

  • I was born in Guildford in 1972 and left in 1990 aged 18. The reason I don't live there anymore was for all the reasons in this video. It never used to be like this - as a teenager in the eighties it was awesome!

  • @GoldenLegends Areas do change from generation to generation. Most have disagreed with what I've said here, so it's good to read your comment. Thanks :)

  • Lol my dad works for the council!

  • @LOLfilms100 Really, that doesn't mean that he doesn't have a sense of humour though...

  • @gardenspoon yeah and they give us a "necessary pc for all council members" with has windows 7 and costs £500!

  • @LOLfilms100 ...and that creates a lot of waste; computers getting chucked away every couple of years, usually long before they have worn out.

  • LMFAO!! THIS SHOULD BE AT THE TOURIST INFO SHOP

  • @perduralucifuge You must know Guildford pretty well :)

  • @gardenspoon fuck yeah used to live there left becuase Surrey police loved the fact I kicked shit out of some Guildford bullys that bottled me for riding a chopped motorcycle(never mind the fact I was wearing my helmet) stupid cunts has anyone burned down the cathedral yet?

  • I will shit in your freezer. That is all.

  • @jackalope901 As long as you don't piss in there as well

  • you've obviously never been to Sheffield

  • @TheMrDobbins I have been, it isn't that great. Guildford is supposed to be, as people reminding me, 'the safest town in the UK' but every time I go through there the police are out dealing trouble.

  • You are a prick

  • @JackStutchbury Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed my video

  • @JackStutchbury agreed

  • @wagamagaman Another monosylbabic tosser

  • @gardenspoon monosylbabic? a long word for a guy with a small dick

  • @wagamagaman I bet you had to copy and paste that

  • @gardenspoon thats what she said

  • Hahahaha fab. Grew up in Guildford, now live in Aldershot. So much cheaper and only slightly less classy! hahahah Chav capitol, but at least I can afford to get wasted...

  • @lumdeedums I think Farnborough is the chav capital, but Aldershot is not far behind. Thanks for watching, glad you liked it :)

  • Well lets face it mate, there are a lot worse places in the world!!! And if you can't laugh at yourself, then how can you laugh at anyone else

  • @richaldo99 Absolutely, that's what being British is all about.

  • A heavy dose of irony. I've lived here all my life, but found this hilarious!!!

    Yes we have traffic, yes we have potholes, but our drinks prices keep out the gypsies, so we are happy : )

  • @richaldo99 Thank you very much, good to get a comment from a Guildford resident that has a sense of humour. I like your gypsy reference :)

  • What are you on about. the only thing that was true in that video was the potholes and Guildford is the safest town in the uk

  • @michaelward1234 Well the council tax is high, the traffic and public transport are dredful, the parking spaces are smalle, and I have known people to get beaten up in town, although it isn't like Aldershot I know. Anyway, this video isn't supposed to be taken so seriously.

    Thanks for watching though

  • Guildford sucks. the roads are like some fucking pathways. you cant even get into the city in a certain time of the day. Or if you are willing to play smart, there is another treat for you, get in the middle of a TRAFFIC JAM, Yay! this town sure is awesome, one of the best places on earth i must say.

  • @Peppepoppldoppl Well that is an unusual turn-around... have you ever been to Guildford?

  • @gardenspoon i have not just been there, i have lived there, In Worplesdon. if you ever remember Salt Box Road. you twat

  • @Peppepoppldoppl I know Worplesdon and Salt Box rd. Thanks for calling me a twat

  • @gardenspoon well does Cumberland Avenue tell you anything? bang your head silly boy, I even remember the remains of the burnt down house on the direction to Pirbright. oh yes, there is also a roundabout just at Cumberland Avenue and some Lane.

  • @Peppepoppldoppl No it doesn't. I've banged my head and all I can tell you is the fire is nothing to do with me

  • I'm not trying to be funny, but the irony of calling Guildford pretentious after making the most pretentious and cynical video I have ever watched... Nice one.

  • @bensausagesXD Very well made point there... I like it :)

  • it is one of the safest counties in the uk, violence? no.

  • Ha ha that is very funny and very true

  • @Sallyhmag Thank you, glad you agree :)

  • "And a reputation for violence" it's the only sentence I disagree with in your amusing video. I've never spoken to anyone about Guildford and have the word violence come up........we have some of the best crime figures in the country. Even if we didn't, were you ever afraid to walk in the town during the day or evening.......if you were at night I'd suggest you could easily be in any town centre at the point.

  • @cowboydom

    I've not had a problem with violence myself, but I have known a few that have, and as this is done mostly in jest I thought it fitting. Thanks

  • i'm 14 and i'm italian.. this year i'll go in Guilford! i'm very happy because i think guilford is a beatuful place.. and you english people, don't come to italy..... italy sucks is horrible youre very lucky..uk are the best country on the world! GUILFORD AND ALL UK RULES!

  • guildford did have a good diving board tho

  • I love Guildford. Sure its got it faults but where hasnt? Nowhere in the UK that id rather live

  • @timmybaz

    I don't really dislike it, but there are plenty of places I'd rather be.

    Thanks

  • LOL, love the vids mate - Farnborough was spot on, and this isn't far off the mark (I live just outside)

    Full of snobby pricks and wannabe chav rich kids.

    Traffic - shit. Parking - shit. Potholes - all over the fucking place, council still haven't sorted them despite all the tax they thieve.

    Oh and the cathedral comment - spot on! What an ugly modern hunk it is up close.

  • @fortuzero

    Hey thanks, nice to meet someone who enjoyed the video and got the humour too

  • Hahah, fantastic video - spot on. All the little boggles of Guildford in one neat clip.

    I must apologise on behalf of the local inbreds commenting below. Unfortunately there are a few nasty council estates with bad schools around Guildford, and someone gave these people Internet access.

  • @utterben

    Thank you,

    I must say I found your comment very amusing, though I should imagine some of those people won't... ;)

  • my girlfriend lives in guildford, i come fromm swindon, and i realy dont know what you're moaning about, guildford is 100 times nicer, and less violent, there are some wannabe chavs who think theyre bad but go to a private school.

    believe guildford aint shit

  • Swindon isn't that bad, and at least it's cheap

  • Comment removed

  • ive made a video on swindon, more problems than just no room to park.

    go onto my page and its there old man.

  • @gardenspoon Swindon isn't that nice either...

  • Oh get a life and stop complaining, if you don't like it here then MOVE OUT!!! How about getting a job instead of spending your time making crappy youtube videos complaing about everything and anything that happens.

  • I'm not complaing, I am making observations...

    Anyway captinvid, using your logic that I mustn't have a job because I've made a few videos; why don't you stop crying and selling crack to kids to fund your online bingo addiction? ;-)

  • That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, you obviously put a lot of time into the video, so I assumed you were unemployed, probably correct. Guildford isnt nearly that bad, never in my life have I had to spend hours looking for a space, 30 mins at the most, on a very busy Xmas shopping day. And I go back to my 1st point, no one is asking you to live here??

  • @captinvid

    Maybe you should spend less time making crappy comments about videos you don't like... I think that's probably worse... get out there and enjoy the town you clearly have such allegiance towards...

  • Excellent video! I would add the traffic is normally the reason why the bus services don't stand much chance of ever keeping to a timetable. You're spot on otherwise though, nice one!
