Merry Christmas Peter love your videos because as a kid in school when they asked you what you wanted to be when you grew up and all my friends wanted to be footballers, pop stars or Astronauts, I said that I wanted to be a lighthouse keeper 😊

Hello Peter! I wish you and your family and friends a Merry Christmas and a happy new year from Sweden! 🇸🇪 As of since we last spoke, i've studied and became a ship engine engineer for a company here in Sweden and im most proud and happy with it! And of course to your very well educated videos of a Light House Keeper would work, i've learned alot and seen you as a mentor as to that i have watched your videos with short notice to gather infomation and tips through my education! And as Seamen i shall say with truth to me heart. ― Fair Winds and Following Seas Captain.
Wow, well done . I wish you well in your new career, stay safe on the high seas. Thank you for your very kind comments. Hope you and your Family are having a very Happy Christmas Take care and stay safe.
Hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year, Thank you for all your hard work compiling these programmes, Please keep the videos coming they are superb,👍
Thank you very much, hope you had a great Christmas too and get a brill New Year. I will do my best to keep the videos coming, but some kind soul had decided to send my desktop pc a nasty virus that has shut it down. I will know the outcome of wether it is recoverable or not at the end of next week. I'm answering this on a laptop. Stay safe and take care.
In the olden days, most men could still be trusted to do as they were instructed. Nowadays, they are all friends with the managers - which is the only way to get a job now - and so they know they can do what they want. At least that's how it goes on the railways, but to my knowledge in any industry. Have a wonderful Christmas and all the best for the New Year!
@LittleKitty22: Yes, but Trinity House is a registered Charity under a Royal Charter not the Public Sector. At least our lighthouses even though they are no longer manned every day, are still being checked on in case of failures, however I think we rely too much on technology and what if that fails and it can and not having the "old school " there as a backup is big mistake.
@@jane1975 I know, I was referring though to the fact that in the olden days - for example in 1839, which is when the instructions in this video were being released - men could still be relied on to follow instructions. Nowadays, one gets a job by knowing, or sleeping with, the right manager - and then one can do what one wants. There's no honor in carrying out a task properly any more, no passion for what one is doing! That's why everything is in a mess now.
Great video Peter, very interesting to learn about the rule book! Looking forward to the next video at the start of 2023, thank you for all of the wonderful videos this year. Hope you have a great Christmas and new year - I think I might watch your Christmas at the needles lighthouse video tomorrow! Cheers
that was interesting! i hadn't thought there was a rule book/keepers guide before! this was indeed fascinating, especially as just a reminder as i'd guess keepers of back then and current (well, as there are none due to idiotic money saving ideas, past!) would know exactly what they were to do by both training and "drilling in by experience" what they were expected to do. 😊 have a great xmas and new year everyone! 🎄🎄🎄🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼
