Childhood

[JADsGames]

I just have one question, and in no way am I trying to be offensive when I ask this. When you say 'Football', you're talking about what Americans would call 'Soccer', right? I just wanted to make sure.

the brits bombed germany first. After that the germans bombed britain thats why after the war the allied court couldn't persecute the soldiers.

this was prior to ww2

[herauthon]

So i Wish you, in retrofit and lookback - a very fine Chrismass -and a very gentle 2010 - what a strange number - but then, 2011 is more funny and 2012..2013..2014.. and hey, 3000 is nice, too

[tiiiisha]

lovely:)

[harobikes3three3]

I really like your videos but the sound on them are WAY TOO QUIET

[kazimann]

You're a legend man!

[mamamialove]

[dirtyniggs007]

words can't even begin to explain the unbelievable amounts of respect i have for you. i could listen to your stories and your voice all day, good sir, and never tire of it!

please keep uploading videos, they're perfect to listen to on a rainy day. well, anytime in general really, but during a rainy day especially!

your existence is MARVELOUS

have you ever tried playing any instruments yourself?

[deadsloth2112]

thank you for sharing your stories with us!

[Nrana9]

I do really much enjoy listening to you and would absolutely love to hear more stories.

I am 16 years old now and for me it's just very very interesting to hear something about your childhood. By the way, the video was far too short!

[thingy186]

your cool.

[PinballTV]

Great video! I'm 21 and I wish people had more respect for each other. The Media hasn't helped the current state of affairs though.

[thelolbubble]

I would love to hear more stories, please!

[mcurren2004]

I certainly enjoyed your previous blarney story, but I like this one much better. Your stories aren't too long. I wish they were longer. Mary

[warrenayoung]

Love your stories.

Thank you

[vinoberg]

5:25 haha you were 11 in 1978? hate to say it bloke but you havent aged too well

[MyCrazyLife89]

he said 1938-.-

[akaakashaboingboing]

do you have any common sense?

[jusguyz]

love your personal history stories the best :-)

[derekcolman]

Brings back a lot of memories, Peter. We were respectful because of the sanctions imposed, the cane, detention and lines at school, clipped ear or whack at home. No bad thing. You went to CNS, now a comprehensive, but then the best boys grammar school in the area. I was sent to that private grammar school on a council grant as the CNS was over subscribed. I always had school dinners at 5 bob a week, and always got my moneysworth (second helpings) despite being skinny as a rake.

[erinwanze]

Thanks for the stories, Peter. I would love to hear more stories from your childhood and your life as a young man. And don't worry about the videos being too long. The long ones are my favorites. :)

[overeighteenaccountf]

you are a very talented man, you should be so proud of what your doing here on youtube. It is great to see a person of an elderly age influence this young community so greatly. I have great respect for your thoughts and opinions.

[MusicManInSC]

Hi Peter,

I've been trying to figure out for years how you've lived to the age of 82. Now I understand ... It was that 16 miles round-trip bike ride to school a few years back!!

Thanks, and I'll try to figure out how I can take advantage of that info...!

I would like to hear more. And don't worry so much about how long the videos are. Not everything has to be 3 minutes. I could easily listen to a nice 20 minute story about your life in the 30-50's.

[anmoose]

Peter, I *always* enjoy your stories, and I seem to be one of many. Please do feel free to lay them on us any time the mood strikes you.

[pizzanoobify]

love your videos peter :)

[0811232k]

agreed! i love listening to ur stories! ppl ur age have so much to share with the world that noone has yet experienced! i thought it was much entertaining =) thanks for the great bedtime story!

xo. ps. abt to watch ur new one after this!

[GOTTshua]

Kids need to bicycle to and from school. That would be great.

[downhill240]

I don't know how accurate it is but I've found that when I talk of "my old days" The road to school has gotten longer and the weather more harsh as I've gotten older. Too it seems I recall myself as being much more heroic in my memory than in fact. But your diarrhea story is the best I've ever heard.

No one could ever top that! I sleapt on the floor in the bedroom. Bedroom?! I sleapt in the hall! Hall?! You had a hall?! From these conversational one-upmanships legend is born! LOL

[collieennis]

peter, i remember you once talking about rabbiting with your father, i was just wondering did you ever fish? its something that Ive always enjoyed, was interested to see if you had any tales of fishing adventures.....? thanks!

[MediaMeandyou]

dioriea storie is awesome peter!

[stufish4040]

I didn't realise you were a Norfolk boy. Did you say 'boike', 'doike' and 'loike' , as we did in Peterborough ? =]

[jericomovie]

You are a charming individual.  Thank you. :)

[russtex]

Would love to hear more Peter!

[Argentium009]

Your videos are never too long, I just sit back, close my eyes or put my nose into a game of solitaire and get swept away with whatever story you're telling. Anyone who doesn't like your stories is goofy. :P

Hugs,

Michael

It's called Elementary School in the states my dear Watson.

[StrikingYouDown]

Peter, I've been a fan of yours for over a year now but I must say it was a bit of a jolt to hear the guy who reminds us all of grandpa telling an Artie Lange-esque crap-your-pants story. Mind you, I'm not saying it dosen't make for damn compelling viewing. Stay strong granddad.

[vcts5678]

the intro music:loved it,our childhoods are so much simpler than now i say

the story:a treat to know how your childhood was in 30s-40s Germany

[IsoscelesKramer]

I'd love to hear more about that time period. Thanks Peter!

[pwalpar]

Good video peter. Its amazing to me how I remember 50 years ago so well yet occasionally cant recall what I had for lunch. A lot of what you talked about is very familiar to me. 5*

[fuertherbube]

Far too long? I'd say far to short!

You know we like your stories. That's what made you famous for good reasons!

More stories! Whe are looking forward to them.

[Ishkiia]

nice vid. I miss my grandfather so much, but I imagine he would be old enough if he were still living to be your father because my dad was born in 1930. Neither are still living but I sure miss my grandfather's stories. I would love to hear more.

[BreeXDestruction]

tell us more!!

[BreeXDestruction]

you are awesome!!!!!

[Seccc]

I have that motorbike clock. :D

[davidiscool2345]

I miss hearing my grandfather telling me stories "from back in the day" and your stories remind me of them. I will most definitley be looking forward to more stories from you.

[NiteBlogger]

Love your stories Peter...my mom was born 1926 & for the last few years I get her to tell her stories & now I tape them. (she's finally gotten used to the camera) LOL

It is such a treat that you share yours with the world! ;)

[popautor]

nice to meet you

[samsarajade]

Well I didn't see the last video-but i want to now!

But I loved your intro and the music. And I always love hearing about your life. I really should talk to my dad more to be honest. I've learnt more about his childhood from the introduction to his recently published cookbook than I'd known all my life!

Topic of conversation next time I go out for a meal with my dad will be about his childhood, thanks to you.

I did ask him about the cars he's owned last time, I just wish I had it all on tape!!!

[MissPoncik]

you're the best I sub you ! =)

5 * <3

[fehquig]
