Hey Patrick. I have followed your wild camping videos for a while, and even "compared notes" with you with regard to old gear. After many years of wild camping, my buddy (72) and I (68) head off tomorrow to Greece to climb Mount Olympus, and in July to climb Mt. Fuji. So here's to us old guys who still love tent life, who thrill at the mention of a trek, and who enjoy tipping a pint or three to salute both comradeship and life itself. We will tip one for you too! Cheers Mate!!

You get right to the heart of real friendship and drinking is right at the core of all the great times we enjoyed (and still enjoy).

Thank you so much, same size as mine, should make a perfect pub...... all the best Pat 😊

[@dlittlester]

That reminds me of a beer commercial here in Canada a few years ago. There were four adjoining properties where each of the guys built a garden shed in the adjoining corner. Then they showed the interiors.... They were all joined into one big building, and everyone was drinking and listening to music, and there were gorgeous serving girls. So one of the guys says to his wife "Just going out to do some work in the shed, love."

[@revieboy]

Superb pub shed Pat, it reminds me of one of the old pubs in this area, such as the Little Plough in Doncaster, the Scarbrough Arms in Tickhill or some of those other old pubs in Sheffield like the Gardeners Arms. Nice to see you got hold of one of those lovely pub tables. Cheers 🍻

I loved this video, you make so much sense, its great having friends, for 50 years or more, your friends look so happy, I loved how you thanked the two that took many of your "on call" shifts, its so good you've not forgotten their good will. Your pub shed is so impressive, Id love to see you enjoying a bag of crisps or KP peanuts with your beer. I also learned you started work at the YEB building now the Kelham Island Museum, I started my working career just a few hundred feet away from you at Brook Shaw's, the Ford Dealer on Gibralter Street, its a small world. My Best friend took me to the Kelham Island Museum a few years ago, I was quite fascinated, I suppose the biggest surprise for me was that Sheffield used to make cars, it was all very interesting, anyone in the area with electrical or mechanical interests would enjoy the Museum, I highly reccommend it. Happy Drinking to you and yours, thanks again.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes Kelha is a great place for a drink, some nice old traditional pubs, and alot of history in the area as well. Was good to all get together or a drink, the main thing we had in common, and what has kept us together, the museum also is the location for the Sheffield beer festival in October, another great day out..... thanks Pat

I developed a strong alcohol intolerance in my 30s and can’t drink at all now without getting unwell. Even a small amount will send my heart racing, skin itching and give me a stabbing headache. I was never a big drinker so it’s not something I miss terribly, but seeing how others enjoy their drink sociably makes me a bit jealous sometimes. But it’s good to hear your story and I’ll raise a virtual pint to a life enhanced by beer 🍻

Popping down the pub for a drink with my mates used to play such a big part of my social life back in the 80's and 90's, and it was the same with my mum and dad and the rest of my family, have lots of good memories from my childhood playing in the pub beer garden, getting a bag of crisps and a soft drink of some sort. But how times have changed - just about every pub I can remember from my younger days have gone - closed down long ago. Dozens and dozens of them, all gone. And none of them have been replaced. And all of them were a hive of activity every night of the week just two or three decades ago. Such a massive shift in our way of life in just the span of a generation.

Cracking video Pat. Some of my earliest memories of being with the extended Family (from my Mum and Dad's side) are from when we spent time in the Greenland Road WMC. As I grew older we would go with our Dad to his cricket and football matches (at Brown Baileys Sports Club, Olivers Mount) and we would always stay for the socialising after the games. Having a drink with friends was engrained into the psyche. I remember going up to Whiston (from Brinsworth where I grew up) to chance our luck in the pubs there when 16 or so. more often than not we get sent away in the pubs at the bottom of the village, but we always got served at The Hind up the hill. Then when I joined the TA at the tender age of 17 having a few jars after a hard days training was par for the course. The friends I made there are still friends today, although we don't see one another very often these days. We all still enjoy a pint. It was nice to share a drink with you at the Rail Ale fest earlier this year. If it's on again in '23 and you plan on going, first one's on me ;-)

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Andy, yes agree with all you say, drinking is part of my life and the friends I drank with when young are still my friends today. My grandmother came from Brinsworth with my great grandfather being a underground manager/ deputy at Treeton pit, found his grave in the churchyard. There were always pubs were you could get served under age, I know the Hind and Wickersley pubs as I worked for YEB in Rotherham in the 1990,s. We spent our early drinking days in Rising Sun at Nethergreen in Sheffield, on a Friday night, 80% of the people in the pub would of been underage....happy days... all the best Pat

Agree with everything you said Pat, having worked for carlsberg for 20 years having a sensible drink is one of life's great pleasures, nice one Pat great video brought back many memories, Thanks for that.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Stephen, thanks for that, so enjoyable but moderation is the long lasting answer....... all the best Pat 👍

Great job! Great video thank you!! I watch you for the joy of drinking. Love watching your pub shows. in fact its why i watch your videos. Thank you for your honesty. agree the lower alcohol beers are more fun. like to enjoy a bunch rather than a few.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Bob, always a good time in the pub with a few beers, the more you have the better it gets...... thanks Pat 😊

[@davidmiller2558]

[@jonpilling5464]

A great video Patrick . A good honest video n enjoying ya self. I’m a Head Brewer for nearly 40 years. I enjoy your films . With the great outdoors. Maybe we can meet up for a camping pub crawl ⛺️🍺😊

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Jon, you must have some great experience with beer, has always been important in my lifestyle, intend trying my hand at home brewing, as my local brewery has closed.Looks a lot to learn, but very interesting, and making with grain, then quite a cash saving....... thanks Pat 😊

[@andrewrobertson6827]

Another wonderful video. Thanks Pat!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Andrew, some great comments..... thanks Pat 👍

[@dieselestate]

You inspired me to build my own garden pub that my wife and friends enjoy often. Keep up the videos and I’ll continue to enjoy a beer virtually with you, cheers you’re a legend

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Stephen, and yes we'll keep sharing a pint in my pub videos. Great that you built your garden pub, such wonderful places were you can spend some quality time...... all the best Pat

[@malcolmcog]

Nice talk, I like a drink, especially sitting in the garden on a warm evening on my own ! Happy memories of me as a 16 year old being happy to be served beer in a pub at a good distance from home !

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Malcolm, yes the photos triggered a few memories for me...... thanks Pat

[@SuperJimbo04]

Cracking video Patrick....looking forward to a few beers when i get home from work this evening, cheers 🍻, James

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks James, enjoy your beers..... thanks Pat

[@lindseykaine-walley6339]

I Don't drink but I still like watching your videos! I love your pub I think it's a fantastic build. Am in Greystones so not far from you. I was hoping you would do another pub crawling video I really enjoyed the last one. 👌

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Lindsey, was sat in the Banner Cross beer garden a week ago, wether I do another pub crawl, will have to see... thanks Pat

[@jamesohanlon7119]

Spot on. Some of my most enjoyable solo pints are had watching Pat in his shed. Wife and kids packed off to bed. Pint in hand. Perfect company. Lovely

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks James, great to share a pint with you, we all need a bit of peace and quiet at times..... thanks Pat

[@henryporter5466]

Loved it, Pat. Like you, I was having a gargle at 15-16, best advice my old chap ever gave me was, 'Remember it only takes one pint to get you pissed'. He was right!!!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Haha know what you mean Henry..... thanks Pat

[@EdExploresScotland]

Great video Patrick. Made me wish I had a beer in my hand, but I'm suffering a little from excesses after the beer festival in the Briggait in Glasgow at the weekend. I'm a solitary beer drinker myself, one of those old guys who sits at a bar counter and hopes for a chat with some other poor soul; but I remember those good old days when a pint was 1s6d and us under-18s were drinking our first pint and saying stuff like, 'I can definitely feel an effect!'

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes great memories Ed, can,t beat a good beer festival, great to sit with a beer and just watch other people..... all the best Pat 😊

[@niallbourke7963]

Ha, ha, yes I can remember sitting in a pub in Dublin aged 16, pint of Guinness in front of me priced 24 new pence and saying 'I can definitely feel an effect'. Must be a universal thing!

[@HighlandMike325]

A cold pint on a summers day on the benches outside the Cherry Tree in High Hoyland. Or the Glenuig Inn in Lochaber. Or The Watering Hole in Perranporth. Can't beat it.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

They all sound fantastic places Mike,...... all the best Pat

[@stevesmusic1862]

Drinking got me thru the pandemic Pat, and I must admit I had a few brews whilst watching your channel!! All the best to you and yours, good to see you here

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes we're the same, life would of been alot harder and miserable if it was not for a few beers at the end of the day....... thanks Pat 😊

[@brianhall9893]

Well done Patrick mate. Another fantastic vlog. Some well deserved good comments on here 🍺👍

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Brian, I think we are all of the same generation...... thanks Pat

[@lessismore83009]

Relate with all you've said Patrick, what an absolute legend you are! This is what KZbin is about. Brilliant 👏 Thanks 👍

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Philip

[@simonmartin5284]

That's like a breath of fresh air. I was with you all the way. Why are drinking friends allways put in a bad light. Here here,my friend. Finding the goldilocks stage is challenging, But when you're on it there's nothing better. Thanks Patrick. I enjoyed having a good drink with you. Kind regards Simon. ✌😎.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Simon, yes some of my best memories are days and nights drinking with friends, the best,....... thanks Pat

[@bilkoandfriendspodcask6249]

A thoroughly enjoyable video, thanks for sharing it Pat. 🍻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@patrickdickinson6492]

My pleasure, one of life's great pleasures just simple drinking 🍺..... all the best Pat 👍

[@peterwemyss6490]

Great video Patrick. Only come across you through KZbin’s algorithm. Very jealous of your pub. Keep up the good work, new subscriber here. All the best from East London.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Great to have you along Pater....cheers Pat

[@johncarlisle6865]

I like nothing better than going into a strange pub, sampling a few unfamiliar real ales, putting a few tunes on the jukebox & having a bash at solving a crossword. it's great having decent company, but spending time on my own is good too. thanks pat, for another enjoyable video

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Agree with that John, great to try new pubs and new beers.... thanks Pat

[@vixthemiller2702]

A superb video, Patrick. Exactly my thoughts entirely. All the best to you and your pub-shed!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yep, so many with same thoughts.... thanks Pat

[@oldskoolpaul77]

Totally agree Pat. I really enjoyed this video (as usual) Cheers 🍻

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Paul.....such a great pastime....... thanks Pat

[@philipgillam8975]

I am bit younger than you Patrick but your video has brought back memories of when I was 15 1994 me and 2 mates first Saturday of summer holidays going round every pub in Croydon trying to get served and when finally my mate walked out of pub to the beer garden with tray of pints it was a fantastic feeling you felt like you was not a kid anymore when you make these videos you are definitely not drinking alone because we are all drinking with you hope you never stop making these videos

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Philip, yes we must of all experienced the same great feeling of " getting served under age ".....a real confidence booster and such a great part of growing up, every night out was a adventure. Great to share a drink with you all..... thanks Pat

[@CottonBud]

Thank you for this joyous vid Pat. There's been a lot of peddling misery on KZbin recently, and often from wild camping channels. Not to mention a lot of 'my life is so much better without drink' stuff in general on social media. Not knocking that but how refreshing (in multiple ways) to see a bit of balance from a man at peace with himself and the world and admitting this particular vice has enriched his life. A massive 'cheers' from me! Bottoms up. Rich 👍🍻

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Great comments Rich, I feel my age group are a different generation, the pub was the social highlight, we did everything with our mates at the pub, and still do....... all the best Pat

[@michaelhamer1277]

hi pat, great to see a new video..im off to the wildcat motorbike rally at john o groats, (a short boat ride from here lol..) 1st weekend in july...will raise a dram to you there...at 16 our drink was marsdens pedigree..lovely beer when i lived in manchester...all the best my friend, mick in orkney.....

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Mick, still got Pedigree in some pubs, had it a few weeks ago, nice rounded bitter, enjoy the rally, lime you day just a short ferry trip...... all the best Pat

[@rogerhowis]

Hi Pat what a brilliant video. i can relate to everthing you have said. I was a good goal keeper for our village and at the age of 14 would go to the pub with the other footballers but because I was so young but 6foot tall I would get served at the village pub. My Fathers was the village policeman so the landlord new how old I was but still got served. You have brought up o many happy memories.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Sounds a great childhood and you were well looked after by the older lads, could imagine the pub is the heart of any village...... all the best Pat 👍

[@taxalterror]

Hi Patrick, I got 4 minutes into this video,,,,, and love your thoughts on drinking beer and laughter. I went to an old friends funeral three weeks ago, a really character of our so called Village! Whaley Bridge, we all met up at our local club it was so nice to see all old really people, it was like going back 35 years, having a good drink is so good. Thanks Patrick you are a Great man,

[@patrickdickinson6492]

We're all getting older, so it's great to spend time having a drink with old friends , drinking certainly helps to prolong friendships...... all the best Pat 👍

[@ryhar65]

this is the most wholesome channel on youtube! thanks for the company Patrick!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Great to spend some quality time with you..... thanks Pat
