Amusing and educating: YouTube videos of a Yeoman tour guide at the Tower of London. I thoroughly enjoyed them, I hope you do too

I can't understand the funny accent.

Good fun, Monster and well worth watching.

I think I'd prefer the slightly less confrontational London Walks version.
But that's me - liberal pansy-arse PC-mongerer.

Reminds me of the guides on the Thames boats to & from Greenwich though.
Funny, entertaining and very secure in their own position in the world.

Except they (the boatmen) work for tips.
And they are factually inaccurate sometimes.
But they like to mix a little bit of editorialising in with the spiel. More subtly though, so tourists accept it as fact.

And most of them are North Londoners.
Never trust a North Londoner.
