Helloo is part of your “trademark” along with your leather trousers, Airstream and of course Dougal. No need for change in my opinion 😊

[@malcolmpreston5722]

Ann Brooks totally agree 😊😊😊

[@Erin-Thor]

Ann Brooks - we should all "threaten" (not actually) to boycott if he stops!

[@cindym6138]

Totally agree! Missouri USA

[@adrianpipe3323]

Totally agree 👍🏻👍🏻

[@katcankan7129]

We all agree 😊

[@cbascaran]

“Hello”, “sorry” and mirrors are definitely keepers!

[@christianlewisphotography6910]

Leave the "Hello" in. It's your signature 😃

[@firstmotorhome8024]

We love the “ hello “ and the “ sorry “ 😂😂😂😂

[@CaravanChitChat]

Don’t you dare stop the “Helloo!” We love it!

[@sheenadunlap1775]

“Hellooo,” “Pizza,” “sorry,” and “thanks for tuning in,” and the leather pants, all keepers! Don’t stop being who you are. Dougal looks like he is enjoying his vacation. Enjoying the videos, thanks.

[@G-ra-ha-m]

Since Pizzagate I'd suggest not saying 'Pizza' too much TBH, Pizzagate was never really debunked, merely presented as such with the odd phrases and situations that gave rise to it still unexplained.

[@andrewjditton]

Thank you Sheena!

[@travellingtom6091]

Love the HELLO. Dont ever change! My daughters always look forward to the HELLO and the accompanied "sorry". I was even doing it today in various campers. Just can't help myself. Just left the show and on the M6. Shame I didn't bump into you.

[@rodsnap]

Keep the" hello" and the trousers. It's who you are . We don't want boring and humourless. keep up the good work.

[@markkemsley8872]

Andrew - I paused the video when you asked should the “Hellooo” continue to comment straight away 😊 100% most definitely - it’s part of your channel. Always a part that makes me laugh, especially when followed by “sorry” 😂 Please keep doing it 👍🏻 Right, back to watching

[@andrewjditton]

Cheers Mark!

[@jazchief]

Andrew, keep the “Hello going, it’s a must. Cheers

[@edwardparks8570]

Please keep the “Helloo” and the”Sorry”. We Love it. We Love Dougal too!

[@nickjury5198]

Don't stop saying the "Hello" or wearing the leather trousers👍😂

[@buckfuddy79]

Keep doing the "Hello" and rocking the leather trousers, it's your personality, screw 'em.

[@debsbird8693]

We love “hello” don’t you dare drop it 😂

[@danielbaeken5601]

Hallo lief knap vrouwtje ik heb intressn in u xxx

[@TravellingBox]

I so hope I get to see you on Sunday. My son really wants to say “thanks for tuning in” to you 😂 Andrew, never change who you are nor how you present this channel. “Hello” and your leather pants are you and I would hate to see anything that makes you you missing.

[@namespacetoosmall]

You be you! ❤️ Keep the leather trousers and the hello/sorry!

[@coveredinpaint7318]

Ignore the fun sponges, I love your "Helloo"s, and I wave at the TV screen, and say helloo back! Even my husband likes watching you, and he has no interest in caravans and motorhomes! Keep doing you.

[@andrewjditton]

Thank you.... and thank you for sticking with me all this time! :)

[@clairebrennan2218]

Love your 'helloo's' almost as much as ' he never smiles!' + 'thanks for tuning in' Pls don't stop. X

[@tagoooU]

Love the "hello" drop the "sorry"

[@kimjohnson-ely2591]

Don't stop the helloo. Life is too short to be serious!!! More laughter is needed. I love it!!!!!!

[@johnfitzpatrick2083]

It is part of your sence of humour love it

[@przemyslawlangner1250]

Love “Hello” and “Pizza”!!!

[@MeritOfBeauty]

I sometimes watch your video just to see your Hello! Makes my day every time!

[@marktrvls1218]

The hello, the leather pants, dougle and all the other ‘little things’ add style and uniqueness to your channel Andrew, absolutely no need to change a thing 👍

[@JPNYC315]

Love the leathers and the hello 😍. Still waiting on your NYC visit 😘

[@wevegonetouring]

43.4k subscribers the answer is obvious Andrew it's your channel. Thanks for the Vantage footage, you nailed exactly why we own one. Michael

[@jaylangdon]

Don't listen to the negatives, just do what you do, that's why we watch you. We sit waiting for the "hellooo" and "sorry". Keep up the good work. J & G.

[@darrenbills1106]

Please don't stop the "Hello" , nice to see the leather trousers back lol.

[@sallyfenney429]

Never too old for leather hun....oh yes......love the hellos too x

[@agibsonallan]

The bit of camp and the hello is part of you and we all like it

[@MYJ61]

Andrew, don't change a thing! Your humor and personality keep me here far more than just the facts of the RV's!

[@andrewjditton]

Cheers Mark!

[@marc.ohillen1079]

Don 't change a thing , we like the way you are . Keep doing what you're doing ; making video's 👍

[@Jacquiandteddy]

Love the 'hello', 'sorry', and 'pizza', and of course Dougal! As for what you wear, now that someone has commented negatively I think you should wear them as often as possible haha!

[@heathermcginley7944]

Please don’t stop the “hello” our 9 year old loves it, and she says it in our caravan mirror all the time 😂

[@noniluscious13]

Hi Andrew! I say, you do you.... one of the resons we’re here is because of you ( and Dougal) in all your glory, :)

[@martinkitchin6204]

And of course - wonderful Freedom Caravans Stafford 😀

[@sgfmsc]

[@glennmata9272]

Good job

[@andrewjditton]

Thank you!

[@lyndapas1048]

Never drop the 'hello' its your trade mark x

[@catb2223]

You MUST keep the "hello!" My son was heartbroken when you stopped briefly a while back, and it still makes him sad that you feel like you have to sorry. He (and I) would like to encourage you to say it at every mirror!

[@debih8666]

"Helloooo" and the leather pants..........it`s the you we love, please don`t change! x x

[@nealeTH]

Love your work - and never ever ever ever stop saying hellllooooo

[@aabbbfs7555]

Please don’t listen to people telling you you should do this or you should do that. The reason we watch you is because of who you are. I love it when you say hello in the mirror. Keep doing what makes you you. Sincerely Leslie Blalock from Washington state USA

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks Leslie! Greets back to your beautiful state (many happy times there)

[@annettefournier9655]

" Hellooo " is your trademark. Along with the leather pants and Dougal of course. It's part of your charm. Keep it. It's endearing and always brings a smile. Thanks Andrew. That Nugget is quite nice and could possibly change my thinking about pop ups.😁😉👍👍💙💙

[@karenhoskins5358]

HI, DON'T STOP THE HELLOO, it puts a smile on my face every time.x

[@dianegregory6562]

Nice to say hello to you today thanks for the selfie. We sent it to my daughter who thinks we are very sad. As we said we love your channel.

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks Diane! And as for your daughter... HOW RUDE! It's us that's having the fun... she will get there! :)

[@ixtlanisabelle]

Be yourself, sometimes with "HELLO" sometimes without... Love you

[@lindahealey6992]

You’re right, fun is where you make it sometimes and your “hello” in the washroom mirror is wonderful. Do not stop! Your reviews hit all the important bits, the oven/grill, the lounging spots, everything important. Still miss Dougal-

[@andrewjditton]

There's a video just for you Linda that I have just uploaded. I think you might like it :)

[@danielbaeken5601]

Hallo xxx

[@robinooi9304]

The hello stays

[@Bonettirider]

Keep the "Hello" and even add more pizzzza 😎

[@andrewjditton]

PIZZA!!!!!!! :)

[@aks8291]

another vote to keep the 'Hello'. Its your style. Stick with your own choice of trousers. Great videos, keep them coming

[@bobmanwaring7882]

Keep the "hellooooo", it's part of the experience. We do it too!!!

[@lorirugato6463]

Love The Vantage ❤! Leather is always comfy and in style!!

[@sherrylangham2476]

the leather pants and "Halloo" are part of the fun. Keep it up.

[@kernowcapers6199]

I love the "helloooo" and do it when I look round caravans now. 😁

[@ceriedwards3]

I like the hello, drop the 'sorry' afterwards. Own your fun!

[@vanlossie]

The “hello” has become the default to the point that I need to stop myself every time i see a mirror. I swear I had to cut a few out of my footage from Düsseldorf so the KZbin algorithm wouldn’t register it as a copyright violation 😅. You do you andrew, that’s why we love you.

[@andrewjditton]

Cheers Kristoff!

[@dogferocious8927]

Love your silly hello's, it's part of your blog. Would not be the same without them, gives us a laugh.

[@okcantbelieveit294]

It’s who you are for goodness sake. Carry on carrying on. 👍

[@stitch4076]

Love the Hello, please do not stop. Keep wearing the leather trousers, you rock them. Love to Dougal xx

[@mloistianto87]

I think just do whatever makes u happy. We will always be here..

[@andrewjditton]

Thank you! :)

[@cazbah1909hollywood]

Keep up the great work Andrew. Your phrases set you apart from the boring. I love having a laugh. There is always some negative people around. I will continue watching. ❤Love the leather pants by the way.❤

[@stephenminto4598]

Please don’t stop the “hello”,”sorry” it’s part of your charm! Thank you for all your hard work! #cantwaittoseedougalagain

[@anneronsky3059]

I like the hellooo and look forward to it, it is your fun thing, please do not get rid of it, it makes us smile :)

[@JohnJohnson-lu9we]

OK Ditton, listen here, keep those "helloos" coming, I've even started doing it myself whenever I'm alone with a mirror, and for goodness sake man don't you dare drop yer pants, there's only so much a viewer can take I tells ya !! Carry on.

[@andrewjditton]

OK John, that's me told then! :)

[@terryjones1682]

Excellent review of NEC ....Thankyou. Please keep “Helloooo”. My family also love “Pizza” when you open the grill!

[@Silia1]

Keep the „helloooo“, i like this 👍🏻😊

[@waywed]

"Helloo" is quintessential Ditton - just like Dougal. Both are compulsory!

[@Figure11_Home_and_Garden]

Carry on being you in your unique style, with Dougal of course, this I suspect is the reason most of us watch.

[@chloes9595]

We love the ‘hellos’ pleas don’t stop! Thanks for the great videos, we really look forward to a new ‘Andrew Ditton’.

[@shiraleewest1351]

Keep it !!! I look forward to it, makes me smile 😀

[@bengambles]

You’ve got to keep the hello in the mirror. And the leather trousers lol... it’s you.. and most of us watch because of your knowledge and because of you yourself.

[@w123au]

I always look forward to hear Hellooooo.... and please don't say sorry all the times after saying hello... i love it...

[@karinvankersen3521]

SIMPLES!!! WE LOVE YOU AS YOU ARE!!! ❤️

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks Karin! :)

[@xxshireenx]

Love ur catchphrases and leather trousers! Don't change for anyone! 😘💖 x x xx

[@Nikki_Holland]

Don’t lose the Hellooo. I look forward to it in every camper/caravan review.

[@matthewpengelly761]

I know i'm a tad late for the debate, but i love hearing the 'hellooo!!'. It makes the reviews much more friendly and personal than others who don't say anything other than mentioning the features.

[@andrewjditton]

Cheers Matthew!

[@ellenjenner1488]

You signature silliness needs to stay! We love it!

[@carolynhaywood7701]

Keep saying Hello, we love it. Another great review.

[@robertwsrwick398]

Keep doing what you always do on your fantastic footage of vans caravans and motorhomes people who tell you different should keep their views to them selves .

[@waddy78]

Keep the Hello, my missus very rarely watches youtube but she recognises you as the "hello" man.

[@grahamlaurie]

OMG, Mr Ditton. Don't ever stop doing you. You are a breath of fresh air on an Internet so often full of nastiness. Hellooooooooo. (Sorry)

[@krippleinacaravanxxx707]

Well if Zebedy can do an “Hello” then I can’t see why you can’t ! After all you do have a Dougal! All l the vans ook great! I’ll be hobbling around tomorrow as they have no buggies left to hire unless I knock someone of theirs! P....

[@wyyeti4004]

Andrew...don’t you DARE stop saying “Hello” or ”Sorry”, or anything else! The leather pants are YOU! This is part of who you are and why we enjoy tuning in! You are a brilliant person, with so much to offer, and extremely helpful and insightful hints and commentary. Be yourself! The trolls can go find a cave and gripe at rocks. BTW....what is happening with your Airstream AND how are you doing with managing your migraines? Kind regards!

[@andrewjditton]

Hi Sue, the Airstream axle is being replaced early November. I got ticked off (jokingly) by the main man at Airstream for off-roading in the Outer Hebrides :) The migraines are still there but MUCH improved thank you. Good sleep hygiene is the main key. I'm also trying an app called 'Curable' but it's early days with that yet. All the best.

[@Greg-zr4wm]

I love the "hello" it is totally your trade mark

[@Greg-zr4wm]

As well as Dougal I love that little pup

[@renerensenbrink3410]

Ohh, come on! Helloo is your own signature! And Dougal of course. So keep up the good work, its great!👌🍻

[@briankruelle413]

Looks like it’s an overwhelming keep the hello and sorry. I will throw my 2 cents (pence) in and say keep them too. Thanks for giving us something to tune into.

[@andrewjditton]

Cheers Brian!

[@Simon67316]

I think you have great comedy timing and you always make me laugh at some point in your videos including your catch phrase!

[@colinjoyceart]

Don't change a thing Andrew. Love it all.

[@theonlywoody2shoes]

“Helloo” and the leather trousers (along with your oh so sincere apologies) are part of who you are, please don’t change!

[@amymoose2248]

You gotta keep the HELLO, it’s epic every time

[@christinagreaves7932]

Lovvvvvve the hello !! Its you !!!!!! Really cheers me up🤣

[@davidtaylorbfd]

Keep the " Hello "

[@pauldickson5387]

Love the “Hellooooo” please don’t stop that......oh wait hang on, I should be telling you to continue shouldn’t I 😉

[@brianknowles1727]

There'll be a welcome in the hillside 😁😁😁

[@andrewjditton]

BRIAN! I need you as my scriptwriter! How could I have not thought of that myself? ;@)

[@TeddyWandererCamera-Bear]

Please, please , please keep the helloo's , they always make us smile in this house :D Also wear whatever you like Andrew no need to change just because someone else does not like your leather trousers !!! We love everything you do on your channel so just keep on doing what you want to do ( we dont even have a caravan ) Thanks for sharing and inspiring us one day we might find a way to afford a van of some sort :D Teddy

[@robertellison4049]

Don’t stop the helloo,s it’s part of what makes your channel yours love your videos there fun and informative and we love Dogal to of course keep up the good work

[@brian40115]

Keep doing what you. Love it!

[@jamespkuzman]

Whomever suggested dropping the leather pants... wait, let me rephrase that... whomever suggested a wardrobe change is likely someone who could never have successfully worn leather pants themselves. And as far as “Hellooo” goes, we wait for it as soon as the washroom door opens and, somehow, now anticipate it and say it aloud with you. Some would say that puts us ever closer to the rubber room, but I say it’s an example of just how engaging you and your videos are. Now, before that goes to your head, understand that Dougal is the real draw ;-) Keep it up, friend - you’re doing good work and making people happy by virtually tagging along on your adventures!

[@robforrest12739]

Definitely keep the “Hellooo/sorry” and leather. It’s you so don’t change :-)

[@henrylinsdell9598]

Love the hellos and leather, makes the videos more enjoyable

[@andrewjditton]

Cheers Henry!
