  • You have Skype? What's your contact name? :D

  • Iv also wanted to make YouTube videos but I never have mainly because of the amount of haters that are so eager to try and upset people

  • Very good video and I'm sure you will do just fine with the world wide web. Children should definitely be monitored while on the web and this is coming from a 24 year old with no children. Although I do find most of the videos on YouTube be they sexual or offensive very amusing; I definitely wouldn't want my 10 year old brother subjected to it. Great video!

  • Preety amazing for someone with your age to make a video

  • Once upon a time there was a statement.

    A statement of what the fuck are you talking about?

    It's pretty funny to watch this shit when you're stoned, what the hell am I doing here? What the fuck are you talking about? `__´

  • You seem like the type of person I could strike up a conversation with that would last for hours, in a good way.

  • Just blow off the morons that post negative comments! There are a lot more people out there who support you than feel the need to post a retarded comment. They are idiots and have nothing better to do, probably because they've never done anything in their lives anyway. You are right though most of them belong in the mall. fil

  • I think you do deserve an award. You're extremely nice and I can't believe how much you know about the internet. My mother, who's 56, has no idea how to do anything - or next to it.

    And I'm not quite an adult yet; only 14, but I know enough to respect you the way you deserve to be respected.

  • It is a privalege to watch your videos.

  • I agree

  • during the war

  • I love your telecom ad I come from New Zealand and it is my favourite ad.

  • if you dont get the award for oldest you nead to geta nother 1 for best blogger

  • Hey Peter, I see you get a lot of comments, I have a question do you get emails for every comment you get like how we do? If so I dont think I'd be able to take it, I would probably open up a new email and have them all sent there if so.

    And you definetly deserve a award you are SO cool!!

  • @natalie54545 there is actually a button that lets u turn off the emails

  • "I've already gone to 5 minutes" No problem at all, Peter! Those were 5 minutes well spent. Good thoughts, really. The creativity of the young has always been amaing, but with today's technological possibilities, they can express themselves in such great ways, so YouTube should be and remain a platform for them. People "can't go to the bathroom ..." :-) and other attention craving baboons are really treated best by ignoring, but also by giving them a chance if behaviour improves. Hope's the key!

  • That is something ive been preaching for a long time now. When you respond negatively to the "attention craving baboons" you are only enabling them. Besides i have a sneaky suspicion that many of the rude commentators of ignorance ARE  children.

  • This fellow seems very intelligent. Good job man.

  • You're great, sir

  • Wow, good on you mate. You are a good man

  • You are deffinatly right about the rude and stupid comments that people insist on writing to other peoples videos and that description of said people deffinatly sums them up perfectly.

    Banning people will never work. It just creates problems. There is a system in place where you can moniter peoples comments and delete them or report them as spam which I think is adiquite.

    Altogether a good video though. Keep it up :)

  • well said 1927

  • You are awesome :-) Well done and keep up the great video's. x

  • yay! you do deserve to get an award for being the oldest youtuber~!

  • You certainly do deserve a prize-you are so cool!

    You make an excellent point. Some people are cruel and vulgar on any site such as this and this should be prevented.

  • The thing is mate, there is a system allready in place where by people can vote negatively towards a comment and with enough negative votes the comment will be hidden by default. However the main problem with this is that there's just so many comments being posted on the more controvertial or popular clips where comments might matter that people cant keep up with pace of sensoring everything. Indeed for most videos I usually only bother reading the first page of comments out of, often, thousands

  • Good stuff! Keep it up old friend!

  • great vid

  • I LOVE YOU =]

  • keep up the work grandpa!

    your the best.

  • oh wow!! 79 and a youtuber! YOUR THE BEST! Total respect for you mate!! Where in the UK?

  • dude u rock more old people be like u!

  • i would say, more younger people should be like him... because it is us, who become them ;)

  • There should more people like you on YouTube!

  • thats exactly wat im thinking!!!

  • i love this guy! He just used the word fortnight in a sentence!

  • will u be my grandpa?!

  • Good man!

  • wow i wish can grow up and be so bright and wise as him

  • You are a ray of sunshine around here and the voice of reason.

  • You seem like such a lovely man. Thank you for the note of civility. :)

  • You know what is spectacular? This has more views than the video it is a response to... =)

  • he reminds me of hmmmmm yoda

  • maybe for his wisdom?

  • nice 1

  • LOL  Aww Grandad!

  • what a wise wise man :)

  • I've not really looked at your videos much, but I have looked at a few tonight and find your videos to be a great asset to YouTube and to the younger generations who peruse YT.

  • desde españa, tienes nuestro apoyo

  • omg this guy rocks :D:D:D:D:D

  • wow for a man of your age your very into the internet. well done. and WMM gets very easy after a while ;)

  • Im English too! LONG LIVE ENGLAND!

  • reborn, with respect, if you disagree it also doesn't mean that his ideas are Quite Simply Wrong. It's his video, and these are his thoughts. I am so pleased that we have this gentle, polite and courageous offer of opinion here, from the older generation. Thanks Peter.

  • Your ideas are quite simply, wrong. The "protection" is not protection, but actually limitation and censorship. Also, the idea of censoring these "unsavory comments" is quite absurd. In my opinion, there should never be any form of YouTube censorship other than the blocking of videos deemed in some way "pornographic." You are entitled to your opinion, but it doesn't mean you're right.

  • How is it any easier to determine what constitutes a pornographic image than what constitutes an unsavoury comment?

  • YOU TUBE will set the world free. Freedom is the free exchange of ideas. LONG LIVE You Tube ! !

  • is that a suffolk accent? I'm so glad that there is someone keeping a video with someone speaking in suffolk :) It's not as broad as some i've heard but i know it's dieing out cos i am suffolk and my accent is more similar to london

  • Just a quick reply to your comments.. I moved back to the USA last year after living in Suffolk for 7 years and during that time I noticed a gradual waning or diminishing of the suffolk accent which I found so endearing at the beginning. Its sad to see it disappearing. I noticed very few younger people with the accent. They all seem to have more of a london (as you describe yourself) or a soft version of an essex accent. Anyway, just an observation!

  • Yes the good old boys of suffolk are going to be no more soon, it's a real shame. Such a beautiful accent that gets overlooked by the media.

  • I LOVE your videos :))))

  • it is nice to see an experienced, level-headed individual blogging about what he thinks with a point of view that so few people using YouTube possess. Keep up the excellent work!

  • i just love this guy!:D

  • can we get rid of spammers too please :D

  • Hey, good stuff. I've just discovered you thanks to the BBC. Keep going love it.

  • inspiring man...keep up the good work

  • hey just wanted to say u totally rawk!!!!!

  • Peter, I thank you for your quiet voice of reason in this video blog. Along with acknowledging that some people are just socially inept, you underline that many more are bright, inventive, intense and warm! Anyway that's what I see from the recent commenters here and what you've presented. Respect for one's elders is wise; listen up, young'uns. As to the issue of censorship, ah, that's too big a discussion for this medium. I'm on to your next blog

    Ta

  • Wow... this is awesome. My Grandparents would NEVER even think of, let alone even KNOW HOW to do this. amazing. (well.. they're amish so ofcourse not) but this is simply awesome. Keep on rockin grandpa. :P

    (oh... and I'm subscribing for sure)

  • Hello Peter, I have just found your site and viewed about 5 of your videos. You so pleasant to listen to and I have a question for you. Let me know by email if you would like to answer my question. Have a great day.

  • I still say you are the best! Love to listen to you.

  • I'm impressed with you. I think because of the internet and programs like YouTube people are able to take part in communities that had never been available to them before. Just because we get old we shouldn't be refraining from taking part in life. You're an inspiration. ;-)

  • you're very computer literate for your own age, and i dont blame you for not knowing this, but maybe youtube staff can start IP banning, so they cant even use that internet signal..... maybe, i dunno. but still, you're an amazing youtuber and an inspiration to many

  • hallo u r very right but some people think young people shud not be alowed why no all of us were little before then we grow up

  • I saw your video on VH1 congrats on that.

  • Wow u r the kooles old person ive seen!

    I wish my grandpa was as kool as u

  • You're my hero. It's so inspiring to see people of all ages come together to form intelligent ideas. Yes, there are nasty people and nasty comments, but the good will drown them out. Ignore them like you said, and perhaps a few of these immature people will become more educated and change there ways. If we change only a few, it will be worth it.

  • ur awesome dude wats ur msn?

  • Dude, you talk on MSN? What's your screen name? I'd like to talk to you. I agree with a lot of stuff you're talking about in your videos.

  • I'm from the uk to:)hats off to you it just goes to show the net is not only for kids and i 100%agree the ignorant must go

  • On a positive note, Im really impressed with your will to communicate with the world at your age. I also am very impressed with your glasses they are like aviator reading glasses and aviators.

  • (I recently turned 15) and to me cursing is not the words you use as much as the way you say them. Anything can be a cuss word, because its the way you mean it not how you say it. The thing about the internet is that you cannot tell the way things are said (Example: Sarcasm) and that means that the words may seem harmless to young people and we simply ignore their use much as we would the word "and".

  • Cheers mate...class never goes out of style..like George Sands... like my father a Korean War Tank Recovery Vet named Bob Perry...79 like you...Ta

  • ok... no offense geriatric but i watched this one video 4 times and I still don't know what you're talking about. 3star?

  • your brilliant. I don't even know why but your videos are just so intresting

  • UK must be a nice place to live, I want to go there one day.

  • You know my dad is quite old i admit (67) i am the youngest child and I am quite used to grumbling and all of that sort. Im 12 and I think you are cool and I'm glad you can use technology my dad is lacking the ability and you should try making your own type of talkshow almost need more ideas just send a messege

  • You are great pal, where abouts in the UK are you from????

  • you might be the coolest guy I ever ran across, greetings from the netherlands

  • I agree with Geriatric. Nothing is more revolting than hearing a group of young people, or anyone for that matter, cursing in public or public forum addressed to minors. Young people like the last poster may not care, but there are a lot of people who do.

  • ok i normally agree with you but the whole protecting the youth??? from what swearing and adult things....well too late and to be perfectly honest we dont actually care (i am 15)

    ...seriously i know people as young as 2 that swear.... its just that times are changing and in 20 years it will be even worse

  • i think this guy is right...hes a pretty wise cool guy

  • That is sooo cool i mean its COOOOL how you can still make movies cause you see people that usally are at your age does say "computer's are for stupid bums" i mean its cool that you show that that is wrong!!!!

  • lol he speaks like the black neighbour of peter griffin (forgot his name)

  • lol i yjought so too...

    this is maybe the oldest and the coolest guy here HA

  • Cleveland

  • you are as old as my grandpa!!

  • it's awesome that you adapt to new technology and make video's!! Keep it up

  • I love your views! Down with the ignorance - if it stays there's no way forward.

    I have nothing wrong with the old people - Your mind is the same no matter what age you are.

    May Youtube reduce the amount of bigotry - I'm getting depressed and fed up. I'm 15 and frankly very disgusted at most youths behaviour.

    You are a great spokesperson and role-model.

    Keep it up.

    *thumbs up*

  • You are so wise, keep speaking we are listening. The internet needs your comments so badly. You are so popular now that I'm sure you will not get to read this, but I hope you do. Thank-you so much for bringing balance to the net.

  • Your an excellent role-model for everybody, young and old i think. And i think your right about the 'yobs'...i like that word...;D They are really disrepectful to everybody that makes videos and spends their time putting them up. I think that your great and some people should just not give a comment if they dont have anything nice to say...Wow...i wrote a lot:D Have fun, your videos are great and most of them make me cry...

  • zzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz!111­

  • he is doing what most guys are, trying to get some...he looks like he is sleeping, and this got boring really fast...now I am sleeping.

  • Consider: it might be very difficult to know where to draw the line with respect to editing posts like that.

  • Geriatric1927 Your videos amaze me. I've always despised the way that people class the elderly as 'opinionless'. But you sir, have a way of getting your point across in a respectful manner.

    Grandad, you're a great rolemodel for everyone and anyone that wants to try something new, and that they shouldn't be afraid of it.

    I agree with the idea of editing comments that are offensive. It does bring the spirit down occasionally.

    You're a very unique man.

  • Geriatric1927, or grandad as I'm sure I'd be proud to call you, you're a trooper. Having seen your first three videos and can say that good things come in threes. I see why your channel is so popular and justifies such news coverage - a media superstar at 21 again. I'm sorry to say that there are a very many young people in the UK (and elsewhere) who desperately need a sound, experienced, positive, male role-model such as yourself. Keep up the good work.

    To be continued...

  • fair play, good for you

  • My neighbor calls such people who snipe, "bottom feeders". :)

  • jesus christ ok i like old people but do u have to keep calling him sir?? is he the king of england or something? or u guys just suck ups??

    p.s the old guy is cyady

  • Calling someone "Sir" in most countries is a sign of respect. Us guys don't suck up to Peter; we just give him the basic respect he deserves.

  • very well said, alot of respect your way, positive views, i look forward to hearing off you more sir!

  • thats it man! i keep bumping into u on utube, and i end up watching ur videos and enjoying them...IM SUBSCIBING!

  • why don't they listen to you and stop people from writing shit.

  • What's a yab?

  • yob: a rude noisy agressive person! hope it helps :)

  • Thankyou.

  • Sir im 22 years old and i never knew any of my grandpas. Can i adopt you?...anyway, i think y0ur solutions to this problem are very accurate. I vote for the comment edition. But of course, that would take a lot of time from You Tube and i dont think they are willing to waste it. Its good listening to you tho. Hugs.

  • I've always been drawn to the elderly for what they can teach us and for just being lovely people to know.

  • You are a very interesting gentleman. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Cheers!

  • You my good sir, are a gentleman and kudos to you for staying with current technology, quite an impressive effort.

  • Sir, you have my deepmost respects. We all look forward to hearing you here in Youtube. I wish all the best. You brighten the lives of many, many people.

  • You bring home the point in the original video.

  • You`re such a big inspiration for me and propably for most youtube.

    Keep the good work =)

    Respect

    With Love

    Zejotik

  • i think we should replace the words like the word shit should be used as flower or something i'm not sure i am 110% behind you :)

  • Dude, your an inspiration for your generation and I hope when I'm your age I will still have the gumption to try new things and get involved like you are.You Rock!!

  • MATE! you are an absolute legend!!!

  • It's so good to see a much of your age and wisdom participating in our community. Keep the posts coming sir. Thank you very much. I hope to someday shake your hand.

  • Very good sir you're the best and you got my respect seriously you made my days better also

  • Sir, you've just brightened up my day.

    Thank you so very much.

    Happy New Year! Best wishes to you and yours.

  • Happy New Year from the Pacific NW in the USA. You are always a joy to encounter. I wish you all good and gentle things in 2007. Any chance of hooking you up with my mother? She has been alone since 1988. ;)

  • You make a lot of sense to me my friend

  • I will however agree with u that he shouldnt be treated extra nicely and belittled as iff hes retarded just becuase he is old, that gets on my nerves how just because old people deteriate physically, doesnt mean they magically transform into toddlers again... anyway, keep the stuff coming 'geriatric' and merry christmas!

  • I will however agree with u that he shouldnt be treated extra nicely and belittled as iff hes retarded just becuase he is old, that gets on my nerves how just because old people deteriate physically, doesnt mean they magically transform into toddlers again... anyway, keep the stuff coming 'geriatric' and merry christmas!

  • WHOA! A little harsh 'willrobe'!! So what if hes old? Yes, being old does generally make u wiser becuase uve experienced more! It doesnt mean hes more clever, but he is wiser. And why dont u learn some manners and stop being so negative just for the sake of it?!

  • You are very itelligent man. Plz produce some more videos. PLZ. And dont listen to other idiots who insult you.

  • wow, the rudeness of people toward you shocks me. i enjoy your commentary and it is lovely to hear your opinions. thank you for sharing. i'm sorry for the terrible people who say such horrible things.

  • HAHA dude you crack me up when im high! LOL Old people discovering the internet.

    Keep em coming.

  • But then who decides which comments are acceptable and which are bannable? If it's done by Youtube members then anyone who disagrees with a poster's comment can just vote down and ban him/her. If it's done by administration then the sheer number of comments posted will simply overwhelm.

  • Only just found your videos, i'm not a hardcore youtube person but I occasionaly look at videos....

    Really enjoying your videos so far. I'm only 19, (20 this month) and English and enjoy your videos lots, I don't know what it is about them.. going through them from start to finish...

    Just really disgusted at the people who leave such stupid childish comments on your videos like this one. (only watched 3 so far!)

  • I 150% agree with you..

  • you speak soo well, and have many good idea. i really enjoy listening to your videos.Thank you .

  • I love your stories keep it going please. I miss hearing a good story but will keep you added to my list just to hear them. Love it!

  • I love your eloquence. More people should have such a vocabulary.

  • I sure hope i'm as cool as you when i'm your age =]

  • OMG! if only my grandmother could get hold of the technology like you have, sir! Blog on! :)

  • hey cool video..=) hope u will still live long...regardz from germany buddy =P

  • wow your such a legend for just using a computer and msn at your age (no offence). thats really cool. a lot of elderly people say 'i'm past using a computer' but its great that there are some people who can open their minds a bit. keep it up.

  • great video! Thank you for your information!

  • I think getting rid of the ignorant losers on this site is a good suggestion, if only YouTube would wake up and see whats going on!

    I saw Renettos video and when I heard about the kind of responses to his son's videos I was so shocked!

    Your awesome, buddy!

  • great show for this age..

    go on... :D

  • damn sir... my respect... i dont care what u say... but putting a video isn't easy... my grandma can't do that... u really are the oldest member in youtube... good luck...

  • You are great :) Way to go o/

  • I am a support of free speech, as well as free expression. However people must realize that you tube and other things of this nature are privileges that people cannot abuse. If they do abuse that privilege then they, by all means, should be held accountable.

  • But ignorant people do make up Youtube, and they will always. But nice video.

  • Sir I am from Texas across the pond from you or "the drink" as we NAVY types call it. Although I do admire your point of view, I must say that no amount of banning /censorship should be tolerated. Editing included. Freedom of speech, ignorant or not is imperative in a world of ever crushing political corectness and ignorance.

  • you are so intelligent and sweet. dont ever stop talking!

  • your are very cool! An good example for everyone

  • I'm proud to be British and you are a legend.

  • You dereve an award - but editing posts by you tube is imposoble - you have 1004 coments -do you get to read them all

  • I wa
