haha the old days of Youtube. Didn't know there was such a short limit on time back in the day. I joined in 2008 and barely used YouTube before that so yeah
I love watching these videos. You remind me so much of my grandads, who went through the same sort of thing as you. They had similar experiences during the war. It's so interesting to listen to you talk about the life you had. You are so nice to share your stories, as i know that it's not always easy to talk about the war. :D x
Amazing! Simply Amazing! It's like reading a book. I really think that they could make your outstanding life into a movie and I would love to watch it!
My grandfather lived through World War II. He told me about it a few times. He was also born in 1927, and had to drop out of high school to support his family on the homefront. He was not drafted, however.
That was a very interesting story, Peter. It's very enlightening to hear something from an Englishman.
Your story and my grandfather's are both very wonderful (doesn't really seem to be the correct word, bit of an understatement, I suppose...).
@Xallo72 not cool. Respect your grandfather. I never got to meet mine, as both died before I was born, and one was hit by a car just about when I was conceived I believe, less than a year before I was born. it's killed me for the whole eleven or twelve years that I've known (I'm 16). I'm sure Peter wouldn't like what you've said either.
Who the fuck are you to call this veteran a cunt? It's because of men like him that the nazis were beaten and your country was able to recover from the bombings. If you don't have the attention span to listen to an old man pour his heart out, head out with your chav friends and down some cheap lager.
Your ignorant opinions are unwanted. Show this man some respect, hes a better person than you could ever hope to be.
You are wonderful! I am forwarding all your you tube links to my family - especially my parents because you are an example for your generation for acceptance and embracing change for the next generation. I hope I am as cool as you are when I am your age.
Yeah DVD! That'd be cool. But wow I didn't know that signposts were removed during the war! I can't quite think of the rationale for it.. maybe anti-spy? Anyone know?
Wow, wow, wow! This is really fascinating-seriously! I think you're an incredibly man. You've been through so much and you tell your story so well! I will be sure to subscribe!
Hi my Dear Peter, It's me again. I'M hooked on your stories! I can't tell you how much this means to me! I LOVE history and I've been waiting all my adult life to have somebody just like you to tell your experiences to me! Hugs & kisses, Nnek@ ;o) xxx
ya i agree, dont rush your videos because the ppl who are watching them are deeply interested in what you have to say. any way great work and dont forget to bring back the blues music once and a while. cheers
OK i don't often comment on videos but i feel compelled to tell you that i admire what you are doing and i really enjoy your videos its very interesting to hear what you have been through in your life and i just want to say thank you.
PLEASE DON'T READ THIS you will die in seven days if you don't post this comment on 10 videos in the next hour. if you do, tomorrow will be the best day of your life
no your not you stupid cretin, my mum should have died about a thousand times. I should have been killed by asian girls and people with names carved in their backsides about a million times. Get it in your head pix elated messages do not carry lethal properties
Sir, I would like to again say thank you very much for telling us about your life. I have gained great respect for you and I enjoy watching our videos.
Please take your time. I want to hear more, more everything. More details, more information. I always feel that i have amassed alot of meaning full information (and im only 20) even though i only consider what ive leant in the last 2 or 3 years of any importance. well you have 60 years of that over me, so how man millions of peices of information would you have in your head that i want? even the bit on having no street signs i found interesting. PLEASE MORE!
What wonderful videos! thank you so much for sharing your life with us. i have great respect for you and i look forward to catching up on your videos.
It's so refreshing to have you on YouTube. My dad is an Army veteran who was in his 20s during WWII. Just like you, he has stories to tell about the war. Unfortunately, my mother's brother, a fresh graduate of the Philippine Military Academy, perished when his battalion was sent to face the enemy in Bataan. He fought side by side with the Americans in the Philippines, then a U.S. colony, right after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. He never came back home. Thanks for sharing and more power to you!
Huh, Isn't it ironic? Two of my granparents are from Czech - former czechoslovakia, the third one (grandmother) was from Sudetten, quite strange both czech and german territory. and my grandfather was from germany and he actually fought in WW2. My grandfather could as well kill you in some battle ... but he NEVER wants to talk about it. He never told me a word about it .... 20th century was very strange and stressful. Thank you, geriatric!
I think the reason why I cherish these so much is because both my grandfathers died before I was born, so I never really had someone to tell me stories about the wars or about life at the time or about anything really, at least from a grown up point of view. I really do love watching them. Thank you so much!
ur vids are amazin this is incredible i luv ur vids and so do many people iv spoken to, they're amazin its so special to learn about how it reallyu was
Just started to watch your videos after the snippet about Youtube on the BBC website. Brilliant, looks like I'm going to be here all day to catch up to the present day!
All of your videos are so touching. :) I'm very grateful that we can have someone like yourself on youtube-- it's definitely a better place with you here. Take care.
you have been threw so much and i admire you very much and it must have been hard for you juring the war and we were doing a project on the second world war in school so i will tell them about this and we can all whatch and realy learn something
I just starting to watch your videos- I cant get enough! I find your storytelling very interesting and think that its great that your on youtube. Also your voice is so relaxing to listen to! Thank you, and keep on making more videos
You know whats great about these videos? They have so much history in them, which is fabulous for me because my favourite subject is History! Keep it up!
I love your videos! I feel like I have so much to learn from you. You are one of the beams of light in an ever-darkening world of Internet scams, etc. Please keep enlightening us with your wisdom and wonderful, bright personality. :)
I don't know why some of you idiots feel the need to tell everyone that he is fake. Fake or not why the hell is it so important to you. If you think he's fake then simply quit watching his vids. We can all do without your little immature hissy fits. Coming here crying about how you think he is fake is not gonna discourage people from watching his blogs and it's not gonna change the way his fans feel about him so quit your damn crying.
hey dude you rule . the ariginal teller but i dont like all these copy cats aspecilly like the 1s that have just started there lifs... you r the best and dont listen to people that sey other wise..
Looks like I'm in for a long night of superb storytelling. Just subscribed to you and am watching your videos from the begining. They are mysteriously addictive and a pleasantly different from other videos I have been randomly sampling for the last week. Thank you for sharing with us!!!
Hi Peter, I remember seeing you on the news a while back but have only just started going thorough your videos, it's so no nice to hear from someone who actually has something to say. I'm sure I'll be up to speed soon, but you have a lot more guts than me you won't catch me on that side of the camera just yet. Good luck
Hallo, what I liked about your videos was the sound of irony about how the world was ruled and it's obvious that you have a deep sense for injustice, not one of the herd
I'm afraid that these days aren't much different. Someone steel decides for you if you're good enough
And the army is steel ruled by control and power freaks
Only at the beginning but I look forward to hearing more about you. I wish my Dad had been as open and honest as you, he died a sad lonely old man and having 5 children and many grandchildren and great grandchildren who loved him or wanted to get to know him meant nothing to him. Reach out and touch the world and it will reach out and touch you. Love the way your shirt matches your wallpaper. Take Care, Tracy.
i must say i have seen a few of your videos now and i enjoyed them all so much, thank you. your doing a realy great job and i must say that i have never found something like this on the web before. keep up the good work! im a huge fan!
Sir, I don't know if you are still (or were ever) reading these comments, but I want to thank you so much for your stories. I only hope that I have such a storehouse of knowledge when I'm your age. (At 40, I already feel I've forgotten more than I ever knew)
My mom was in a Boot Camp, she always said it made her less violent because you knew what you could do. Do you think that's true for you? Have a nice day ^^
i really love what you are doing. realised you have so many videos already,so i shall go thru them slowly. Btw, i got to know about you thru a local newspaper in my country some time back.
How awesome it is to be able to listen to your life stories. As with my parents who are english its simalar to thiers. I am so lucky to have come across your vids i have subsribed to you so that i can keep listening.congrats well done keep em coming..also how exciting for you to have this avenue cheers
Thank you very much for sharing! I subscribed to you when your first vid came out, but I've only just been able to start catching up. It's worth it! Thank you!
I should be going to bed, but I found your video and I'm hooked! I've even put a link to this on your blog. You are history, and it is fascinating. My mom, who is 87, tells me stories such as this (we're Canadian, my aunt was a WREN) and I wish she was as good on computers as you are. Anyway, on to part 3...
Thank you for sharing your stories with us, there are things everyone should hear. My grandfathers were in the war too but one is dead and the other just served as a medical aid. You have been through many things in ife but I can tell they've all made you stronger. You're wonderful
Hello peter .. thank you for all your videos , i am especially intrested in this video because i am due to swear my oath of eligance tomorrow morning ... My best wishes Dominic Lewis 25221340
i am sorry but his is really boring i respectyou and everything but i thing this site is for people in there teens and 20s but if you like this good for you
You sound as though youve lived an interesting life. A lot diferent than the way my grandparents lived there life. I wonder if i should get them to do something like what your doing. It would make a bit of a change from Doctor who, which is all ive got on my acount at the moment. Feel free to have a look. Im also making a few other clips which you may be interested in. Such as an audeo drama about the war and a comedy horror set in a hotel (which hasnt been posted yet). Anyway goodluck.
This is very interesting. You do such a good job of telling your story. I loved the remark about needing an IQ of 10+. Just the right touch of saracsm. I also think it is important for people to hear stories like your's so they can know what generations before have gone through.
A thought just came to me that it would be nice to have all of your segments put together onto a compilation. In this way, you wouldn't have to be stopped by artificial time constraints when you talk about your life.
I just happened upon this, gave it a listen. It took me back so many years. Listening to my Grandfather and Grandmother, thank you Mr. Pete,for the gift you are giving.
geriatric, the thing i love most is that you mean hope for me...hope for people not forgeting how good they live now and how hard life can get..and this leading to appreciate life to the fullest and appreciate what you have :)
im getting used to listening to you before going to sleep...that this expeience makes you happy makes me happy :)
I hope you understand me because I am Peruvian and my english is not too good, however, I like your stories about your live that amazing, and when i listen your voice I can Imagine all that you say, congratulations good bless you and you make me feel peace. gracias por contar su vida me encanta oir su voz parece una narracion de una pelicula. muchas bendiciones para usted señor geriatric 1927
The part which caught my attention the most was that you were sent to Aberdeen to learn about radars. I've been visiting Aberdeen for my entire life (the whole 17 years it's lasted...) and I'm moving there for University next month! I never even stopped to think about what could have gone on there during the World Wars- other than what my Grandparents have told me.I hope you keep posting and allowing us to gain an insight into your life.
haha the old days of Youtube. Didn't know there was such a short limit on time back in the day. I joined in 2008 and barely used YouTube before that so yeah

I love your videos! I feel like I have so much to learn from you. You are one of the beams of light in an ever-darkening world of Internet scams, etc. Please keep enlightening us with your wisdom and wonderful, bright personality. :)

I don't know why some of you idiots feel the need to tell everyone that he is fake. Fake or not why the hell is it so important to you. If you think he's fake then simply quit watching his vids. We can all do without your little immature hissy fits. Coming here crying about how you think he is fake is not gonna discourage people from watching his blogs and it's not gonna change the way his fans feel about him so quit your damn crying.

Hi Peter, I remember seeing you on the news a while back but have only just started going thorough your videos, it's so no nice to hear from someone who actually has something to say. I'm sure I'll be up to speed soon, but you have a lot more guts than me you won't catch me on that side of the camera just yet. Good luck

Hallo, what I liked about your videos was the sound of irony about how the world was ruled and it's obvious that you have a deep sense for injustice, not one of the herd
I'm afraid that these days aren't much different. Someone steel decides for you if you're good enough
And the army is steel ruled by control and power freaks

Only at the beginning but I look forward to hearing more about you. I wish my Dad had been as open and honest as you, he died a sad lonely old man and having 5 children and many grandchildren and great grandchildren who loved him or wanted to get to know him meant nothing to him. Reach out and touch the world and it will reach out and touch you. Love the way your shirt matches your wallpaper. Take Care, Tracy.

Sir, I don't know if you are still (or were ever) reading these comments, but I want to thank you so much for your stories. I only hope that I have such a storehouse of knowledge when I'm your age. (At 40, I already feel I've forgotten more than I ever knew)

My mom, who is 87, tells me stories such as this (we're Canadian, my aunt was a WREN) and I wish she was as good on computers as you are. Anyway, on to part 3...

You sound as though youve lived an interesting life. A lot diferent than the way my grandparents lived there life. I wonder if i should get them to do something like what your doing. It would make a bit of a change from Doctor who, which is all ive got on my acount at the moment. Feel free to have a look. Im also making a few other clips which you may be interested in. Such as an audeo drama about the war and a comedy horror set in a hotel (which hasnt been posted yet). Anyway goodluck.

This is very interesting. You do such a good job of telling your story. I loved the remark about needing an IQ of 10+. Just the right touch of saracsm. I also think it is important for people to hear stories like your's so they can know what generations before have gone through.

A thought just came to me that it would be nice to have all of your segments put together onto a compilation. In this way, you wouldn't have to be stopped by artificial time constraints when you talk about your life.

The part which caught my attention the most was that you were sent to Aberdeen to learn about radars. I've been visiting Aberdeen for my entire life (the whole 17 years it's lasted...) and I'm moving there for University next month! I never even stopped to think about what could have gone on there during the World Wars- other than what my Grandparents have told me.I hope you keep posting and allowing us to gain an insight into your life.
