  • Peter is a breath of fresh air. You know, we all get old.

    It's not a crime. To those who choose to post pointless rude comments, just remember: what goes around, comes around. It's called karma.

  • go on!

  • I'll wish you a great recovery. Enjoy reading and watching the responses you've earned and aquired.

  • I'm truly sorry to hear it. However, I wish you a good recovery, and I completely understand that you find it hard to continue. I wish you the besty of luck, whether we hear from you again or not, but for certain, Youtube will be a poorer place.

  • why is the chair talking?

  • You never say goodbye to your truetube friends. I am with you always and I am proud of you that you are determined to take care of yourself and you shall beacuse you have a desire to survive by yourself. Have a hppy long life.

  • My dear Peter, my friend, I hope that "The Great Pretender" was not a way of telling us that you are not ok? Please do all you can to get rest, gain strength...I hope you will be back on your feet, inlightening us with your wonderful life stories and experiences. I will miss your, "Hello youtubers" as well as, "goodbye" (such a peaceful, lifting voice) but please do not let this be a "goodbye." I will be saddened until your return! Heather

  • Peter, enjoy your rest. But please come back as soon as you see fit. I love your stories and the way you tell them. You are so interesting and I feel as though you are a dear friend. Alice- USA

  • Dearest Peter, you are such a soft, kind soul. Please do not feel overwhelmed by the fact that you have touched the hearts of people more than any other since the inception of the internet. Please just continue being you, an angel in disguise.

  • I really admire your determination to stay independant. My own grandmother is quite similar, but she's probably going to have to go into a home anyway soon.

    I loved all of your videos, I look forward to any future ones!

    Love from across the pond,

    Tracey

  • Thank You, for the touching video's u have made and hopefully there will be many more to come! You are a true Great British Person!

  • thank you for all stories peter!

  • I think he stopped cause people are spamming off all his content, and some scumbag, or corporation is trying to profit off those domains.

  • i felt quiet sad hearing you say farewell with the empty chair. You are a real pro on youtube.

  • Cya till then , hope to see and to hear more of you realy soon so gb till then =/

  • Peter, I have so enjoyed your stories. Here it is, the middle of the night in Chicago ... and when I can't sleep ... I am comforted by listening to you. You have touched the hearts of thousands of people like me, by sharing yourself, your life, and your observations. You've entertained us, nurtured us, and made us think about a thing or two. ... Hasta la vista and God be with you. We will all be on the lookout for you, should you decide to come round again. Ronnie in Chicago

  • Please, Peter, come back soon!!!! I love to listen to your stories, because my father was born in 1921 (unfortunately he died in 1997) and for that reason, it is like being with him again. I look forward to your return!!!

  • hey was that freddie mercury during the captions or some other guy?

  • farewell peter. its been great fun listening to you!

  • the thing that blows me away the most is how computer savvy you are

  • I will miss your video postings & will check back at future dates to see if you're back on-line. Good luck, God Bless, & party until your last breath!

  • You really do remind me of my grampa. I miss my grampa :-(

  • It's been interesting, Peter. Don't be a stranger, you said you'd still be around. I know you'll keep your promise :).

  • Although I'll miss your stories, I must say that I do admire the fact that you do what you want. IMO, you have paid your dues by contributing to society and have every right to enjoy your golden years. However, I do hope that you'll post every now and again, concerning your new adventures.

    Have a good one!

  • Take care Peter. Don't let them get you down their not worth it. Many Blessings

  • i hope you make another video soon!!! good bye

  • Your honesty and forthrightness is so very refreshing to see on the internet. I have enjoyed your stories and wish you the very best.

  • You know, my father did just what you are doing. I am not sure if he was right or wrong.

  • I hope the press of the media didn't influence you to give up this wonderful video. Don't make your break too long. How can we do without your wonderful stories. Take a rest and come back. Cherrio!

  • Peter, we will miss you! I found YouTube due to publicity re: your videos, and I have really enjoyed hearing your stories. All the best -- Mary in Dallas, Texas, USA.

  • You're just a kid....my pop is 89!

  • Peter thanks for letting us take a look into your life. It is inspiring to say the least. I hope other older people learn how to share their experiences with us all as well. We all have something to learn from one another.

  • I've never bothered posting on YouTube, however, i've followed your videos since you started with them, and i kind of feel.. touched, and vaugley upset with your comments of this being your last chaper in life.

    Anyhow I just want to wish you the best of luck with the farm mucker or whatever it is you plan to be doing with your self over the coming months.

    All The best.

    Stewart In Edinburgh.

  • I miss you already.

  • I like this...I think Im being inspired. I dont think you should quit.

  • I am so glad that I found you..thanks for sharing your life..I wish you the best..I am from Indiana(USA)

    I have the upmost respect for you..you could never be a bother to anyone in your life..:)

  • mikma was annoying

  • Check out my first video blog in the video responses!

  • I have sat, entranced, through all of your videos eagerly awaiting the next. Your enthusiasm for life inspires me! I sincerely hope that your 'reluctant farewell' is so that you can take a breather and catch up on your many responses, rather than as a result of any upset caused by a few opportunist fools. I'm sure I don't have to remind a man like you that negative words/actions like those say nothing about you, but speak volumes about those making them.

    Sir, I wish you all the very best.

  • check your music history, one made it, one made it famous!

  • I presume that you were trying to encourage us who are fortunate to still have older family members to talk to them, which I can only agree with. Peter however unlike many older people was happy to chat at length to ultimately thousands.

  • Good Luck with the rest of your life peter, you've given hope a prosperity to millions of people around the world, and if you never come back to youtube we will all miss you and hope that you have a great rest of your life whatever you decide to do, you are a role model for millions of people around the world with no hope and prosper in their lives

    We would all like to say a big thank you for the last two weeks!

    WE LOVE YOU PETER!

  • Greatings from warwickshire Thank you peter a nice introduction to you tube for me.Don"t stop more vidoes please.Good story tellers a rare commodity these days

  • Peter enjoy the rest and dont be gone for too long. I hope that people will use your videos as a example of what can be done by honest speaking, a refreshing change from the clowns.

  • Good Luck with other things, I will sorely miss you so much, I really enjoyed watching your videos. It was very enjoyable to sit down at six o' clock in America to watch your videos farewell. Good Luck with other things sir. As I said earlier I highly respect you.

  • You deserve a rest fella. I was a bit worried this whole experience may wear you out so have a good break/catch up and then POST ANOTHER VIDEO in the future.

  • Good luck with things!!

  • R.I.P. Man...

  • MonocleOWinsky:um-you are really annoying

  • Hello again, Peter... I am sorry to hear of this, and I do hope you return. It has been a pleasure watching your videos and listening to the stories told. I wish you luck in your journies, wherever they may take you.

  • ciao ciao! hope to see you soon! take a good rest and come back anytime you want!ciao

  • No, I think that Peter was alluding to the fact that some unscrupulous folks might take his absence and try to exploit it by "pretending" to be him (which is why the song was over those notes). He is quite a wise man.

  • Sir Geriatric, I will expect your return as soon as you are done reviewing your mail.

    It would only be proper for a "Knight of the Thistle"

  • Please Drop in from time to time. If I know your a coming, Ill back a Cake. :) You will be missed. You have such a calming affect on us all! You taught us To slow down and smell the roses. God Speed Peter. Take Care!

  • Dear Peter: I'm gonna ask you something in the name of all we the YouTubers who love you. Promise you will at least post a little monthly video to let us know how you are doing. It is not much to ask from those that you have "tamed". You have planted a seed of love in thousands of us, and now should think of watering the plant from time to time. Love. Budd.

  • Hey Grandpa dont go!

  • Dear Peter,

    this is Michael from Germany. You have such a beautiful heart and spirit, you move me very much. I think you are doing a lot for younger folks to learn that love of life, honoring each other and humour are great things to have. Please keep posting those films of yours and don´t stop sharing your wonderful creativity with us. Lots of love xxx Michael

  • Man, I'll miss you.

  • You summed your whole life up in eleven five minute videos. Good job.

  • Good luck with everything.

  • Thank you Peter! I've enjoyed your videos, hope you return after you take care of your business.

  • I just starting watching your clips today and I was hooked. I'm 27 and from Michigan in the state, I grew up riding motorcycles, they are my life. I think your doing a great thing and enjoyed every minute of it. I'm sure many people are patiently waiting for you to make a comeback. Anyway, have a great life and Thank you.

  • Peter, thank you for your contributions, your videos, your wisdom, humor and a wonderful set of videos that I can have the pleasure of viewing at my leisure. The best to you, and I as well as I am sure others would state...hope to see you again. Michelle, Arizona

  • Peter I am a year behind you but we could have shared a lot in the tell it all format. I have wanted to get a copy of my web page to you but youtube wont allow it for some reason. geocitiescom/wylds1 I am trying very hard to learn! Love this new logitech fussion web cam. Hope to see you on with video 12 soon!

  • Hi! i'm form Argentina (South, South America), and i've been watching your videos for a long time now... you look like my grandfather and all the things that you say are so nice... keep making videos!!

  • ty. nice to have had the chance to listen to you.

  • I feel like my grandpa has gone. you have comforted thousands of people such as myself with your priceless wisdom. Don't stay gone too long.

  • oh im sad. i loved ur videos

  • lol, why is everyone talking about profiteers??? If you mean the last bit hes just saying incase...did I miss something??? :P We'll miss you and can't wait to see you again Sir.!!

  • you're the reason great things get ruined.  go spam somewhere else.

  • shame man your gonna be missed

  • I don't pretend to like it, but I thoroughly respect your wishes, Sir.

    Looking forward to "Telling It All: Part XII" when it comes!

  • ...DON'T LET THE BASTARDS DRAG YOU DOWN...

    it's a terrible shame that your hand has been forced to click the close button on your videos as they have far more worth than a lot of rubbish on here... i fully support your action to stop and can ONLY dream that those responsible for making it a necessity for you to stop recording realise for one second what they have done.

    WE HAVE BEEN ROBBED. DAMN YOU PROFITEERS...

  • What do you know that the rest of us don't?

  • i really hope that u see my comment old man!!!

  • why?? yo!! screw the bull$#it. dont let the nonsence stop you from doing somthing if you really enjoy doing it!! 4 real!!!

  • Missing watching you already, but understand your reasons. It's too bad something so pure and honest as your videos had to be tarnished by the money making media/websites, but I do hope you return someday. Best wishes always.

  • sad to see you go mate

  • Hi Peter

    Do you think that you have gotten anything out of this. I would just like to know.

  • I would like to thank you for telling such wonderful stories. Being Vietnamese-American, there was always a language barrier between my grandfather and I, and so I never really got to hear the stories from the older generation. I was happy to hear that your life went so well, and hope that I will be as cheerful, and respectable as yourself when I grow older.
