Completely agree. Enjoyed the dour Scotsman act, the cheapness/ of the beaten track of where he visited and the fact that he was doing it as a 'single'. The vibe completely changed by introducing a partner and more upmarket destinations. They're all introducing a partner and it always ends in failure, as they move away from the original concept.I’ve just unsubscribed after watching regularly for probably three years or more. I just don’t find his content interesting any more. Even when it’s something like the transatlantic crossing or New Zealand trip he manages to boil it down to something completely mundane. I think he’s very keen to be seen as not having any airs and graces but the dour Scotsman act (and I believe it is partly an act) wears thin eventually.
He’s also introduced Alicia into almost every vlog. It’s basically a double act now and as much as I don’t have anything against her I don’t think she adds anything either. He’s not the only one to do this of course, it seems to be a bit of a thing to start a channel, get some success with it and then start bringing the other half into it. They should remember why their original audience got hooked in the first place and as much as a new personality might attract new viewers there’s a risk that they don’t, or even worse that they’ll turn old viewers off.
He only follows 11 people and if you look a the young lady with the initials 'c-e' on her double barrel name with xx at each end I think it could be his daughter. They look alike and if you look at her 22 February 2025 pic in particular she has his exact same nose. Also he has mentioned a few extra "secrets" about easyJet in past vlogs and this person in question is cabin crew.I wonder if he’s got a previous wife and kids in the background somewhere. Unusual for a straight man of his age not to have been round the block at least once before.
I didn’t think he had any kids let alone an ex to have any with!also he might not have mentioned her because he's ashamed she's round about the same age as Alicja, maybe that's why they moved away from Edinburgh because he stayed in a council flat in a council house scheme (no shame in that) but people talk. It probably wouldn't have went down well a guy in his mid forties with a foreign girl in her early twenties. People might have thought she was getting taken advantage of.
