[@lindsayjohnson6299]

Really good to hear your story. Looking forward to episode 2 and your adventures to Tenerife. Well put together!

[@juliewillis6782]

Life skills are more important than a piece of paper with a number on it! I always said “ if you’re interested in something,you’ll learn about it, no matter what”! My teachers said I’d never get to be a nurse, I’m now into my 43rd year, hate it now ,but that’s because too many uni grads that think they know everything cos it’s on paper!!!! Hands on is the way to be!,,,,👍🏻

[@amandadodgson2444]

Really nice to know the story about the man behind and in front of the camera......work skills plenty more valuable than a 3 yr course, the first lesson you learned was the most important, no debt. Your work ethic is inherited from your parents, so clear to see, your customer service in bars has provided yourself and Laura the skills to have your own business and your own popular channel on you tube....very well done you two. Love your fun and detailed content. 😊

[@DreamingOfHolidays]

Really loved you sharing these stories - it’s very interesting and engaging - can’t wait to hear the next exposure and Garvey’s too

[@shirleenrogers7610]

Loved every minute of this. Looking forward to the next one.

Great vlog Mick & Elaine Belfast really enjoyed it cant wait for the next one brilliant 😀 ❤

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏽

[@annemulley4012]

Great video, brought back a lot of memories as I went to St Andrews school too. My mum and dad's ashes are buried at the church. I also didn't go to university although that was the path I was put on at Ormonde Drive Comprehensive, now Maghull High I believe. I started work at 14 at Lucy's General Store on Liverpool Road North which is now a solicitor's office and then went full time into a bank in The Square. University isn't for everyone.

[@Rachel-yc5hplovesIsrael]

So interesting Andrew. Really enjoyed this, thank you 😊

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏽

[@alexgraham39]

This is brilliant - Really enjoyed it. You can tell your parents worked hard from little to earn opportunities for their children and they clearly passed on those hardworking, down to earth values to you, which allows you to live and work in a place like Tenerife. Looking forward to the next part!

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you 😊

[@monicahatch9182]

This was brilliant more please

[@janetteno3]

Excellent Andrew you are what success is made of hardworking and enterprising

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏽

[@kezzacollinson621]

Loved this little story. Very interesting and I do totally agree with you about the university thing………I was the same as you, didn’t have a definite path so I went straight into work and have worked ever since in a job I love ❤ there is far too much pressure at such a young age to make a decision about what you are going to go into 😢

[@CheryleEve]

Loved loved loved this !

[@DavidAnderson-ge6tk]

Great vlog Andrew nice to see how you grew up and can’t wait to see the next one 👍😀😀👍

[@JacqueKane1309]

Just watched your video. It was put together really well. Totally are with you, my son was the same he was so young at the end was high school and was not too sure about going to Uni. He got himself a part-time job and work’s really hard up really early in the mornings also doing further study and now knows the path he wants to take. Can’t wait to see your next video and it would be interesting for your Dad to do one also👏👍😀

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏽

[@Adventurewithmatt]

Brings back memories for me. I went to Maghull High from 93 to 1999, i remember your dad's dentist, going to the shops next to the Meadows pub and playing football on the Meadows sports field and tennis round the back. My friend got married in St Andrews. I've seen your Dad cutting his garden when he had the dentist once too when he had covid 😂. Really enjoyed this video 👍

[@garyhomer3190]

We thoroughly enjoyed this different Vlog & look forward to the next episode

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏽

[@mountaingoats98]

Great video. Got my first car from Maghull when I was 17. Also well done for highlighting that the University route isn’t the ‘be all and end all’.

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you 😊

[@colinlawton1781]

Hi Andrew what a fantastic vlog Great to see how you started your journey from liverpool to tenerife I would say this is your best yet your mum and dad must be very proud of you keep it going 😎😎👍👍👏👏

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏽

[@annemarieelton2069]

Very interesting to hear about your high school years & agree when you said if you can go straight from school to your chosen career ..On job training & course work would safe time & expense in Uni … if the students know exactly what career path they want especially for those students who have more practical skills Great vlog 👍👍

[@christinescheepmans7693]

Very, very nice to watch this, cause I'm also a UK fan😅. And by following you with all your stories on Tenerife, my favorite winterholidayplace, I hope my English is getting better and better😂

[@jasondyer811]

Nice story Andrew,looks like a nice area .😁😁👍👍

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you 😊

[@tracyross2115]

Really enjoyed your story Andrew, your right about uni I have 3 daughters 2 went to uni . Gemma went to RGU in Aberdeen did business management but the job she does now she could of got without a degree. However my youngest Daughter Sophie was a brain box, she was the best pupil in academy and received Award for obtaining straight A in all her highers. Put her to Glasgow uni to do Aeronautic engineering where she done 5 years and got a distinction degree. She got a job at Leonardo in Edinburgh doing aeronautic engineering which she loves. She had the choice to go to rolls Royce where she had done placements at also . So you are right in saying follow your instinct and do what you are most happy to do. 42:19

[@oddy532]

Enjoyed that mate, spot on about uni. It is much more Important to find something you enjoy and look into that. My degree got me my jobs but I have never used it at all. As an aside, what you play off at the minute you must be half decent

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏽

[@karanedwardson8615]

Excited for part two 🎉

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏽

[@triciabrodie1015]

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏽

[@lucilleley1412]

Wow fare dos u were born to work hard well done u. Great showing us ur growing up years an meeting ur princess Laura x

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏽

[@annekristiansen5464]

Loved this! It is very interesting to hear about how things are in Britain. Very different from Norway school wise I think. We have a few private schools here in Norway too, but it's more common to go to public schools here. In Norway it is difficult to get almost any job unless you have some kind of grade. It was very different when I was your age. I didn't go to University, but I'm still doing well and got a decent job. Looking forward to here the rest of your story 🙂

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏽

[@samanthahobbs2966]

This is fantastic, I really enjoyed hearing about your past, can’t wait for the next one!

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏽

[@jenniferlight7404]

Hi I’ve just started following you and Laura! Trouble is that all I’m doing is your tube lol I’m off to Florida November my happy place

[@jordaniliev5825]

Great video! When I eventually go on a holiday to Tenerife I'll stick you for a drink so you can hear my story. :)

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thanks 😊

[@dominic8218]

Great to hear your story Andrew - excellent 👌🏻 . Would love to hear Mick’s.

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏽

[@richardshaw1968]

Working experience is so important, if you can get it in the field you are interested in so much the better. I went to university from a state school, a lot of the private school kids there didn’t have a clue about real life. I really enjoyed my time at uni and still use the things I learnt 30 years later.

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏽

[@dawnhopkins4069]

I agree with you about going to uni. I have 2 daughters who were both due to go to uni but 1 was undecided what to study and ended up doing an apprenticeship. She worked extremely hard and studied for her accountancy exams on weekends and she became a fully qualified chartered accountant at the age of 23 with no debt. My other daughter went to uni and studied pharmacy and is now a specialist cancer pharmacist so the debt was worth it

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏽i agree!

[@shirleywilliams4915]

I live at the back of West Derby golf club. I did part of my nurse training at Maghull health Centre. Always go to Burbo bank Crosby 😁😁 nice little memory for me also 👍

[@TheKnightStrider]

Small world 😊

[@lisadouglas7825]

Looking forward to the next episode😊

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏽

[@mikewest2428]

Great video Andrew revisiting your past some great memories there😂

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏽

[@petermurphy4428]

What a brilliant vlog, really appreciated the insight into your life and also the transparency and honesty whilst telling your story. Some great advice from this vlog, obviously a born entrepreneur who followed his "nose" for the better! Our first married home was in Maghull, 4 children & 8 grandchildren later, know all the areas on this vlog. Took a gamble (sorry about the pun!), with the lovely Laura, great team together. Looking forward to the continuation. COYB

[@TheKnightStrider]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊👍🏽

[@mikeroberts7741]

Wasn’t so lucky...I went to Manor High (now St Michaels?) down the road from St Marys...use to sail a model boat in the lake shown at Coronation Park!

[@TheKnightStrider]

Yes i know the one!
