FRED DIBNAH VERY FUNNY CLIP 

It is like watching a play that writes itself, old rural communities definitely have turns of phrases and ways of talking that seem to be from another time. I think its magic to listen to. I am from Dublin, my auld fella was born on a farm in the West of Ireland. I found they all love asking questions telling stories, but are slow to give a straight answer!

58yrs I run an allotment with my mate Kenny he's 78 worked as a docker it's a privilege to listen to him talk about what a man's working life was like back in the day some funny stories some heart breaking stories about men killed by accident

I am Southern Irish but I understand what you what you mean. Pubs are incredible social spaces.

but not forgotern

LEGEND! Sadly missed :(

theres no such thing as "working class"....theres those that work hard - be they rich or poor - and lazy cunts - be they rich or poor........Fred was a hard working genius who loved a pint

Hey guys yes it's very sad he's past ,I'd only seen one episode and that was laddering a chimney. As I saw more parts of the this beautiful and professional documents that have been presented to us , I sadly learnt of his passing but I haven't seen all of the episodes yet He died in 2004 but I don't know what from . As I watch all of the parts I should find out but there's so much on him to see, I'm watching thing's outta order though. He is a legend and professional with his work . I was annoyed to hear his property was ransacked. It's so sad that there's people out there that steal from the dead . R I P Fred .

I agree with you buddy some would quiver in there shoes working with him . Let alone doing anything'to help him . I would of loved working with him . Some people are employed to hinder the hard working people to slow us down. We want to get on with the job ,cause I want the next job to do . It's the challenge.

I'm from the early 50's and born in Stockport with similar values. It is very refreshing to read that you appreciate and respect these fantastic workmen. Please retain your stance and do not feel "very alone." I am confident that you will go on to enjoy meeting others who hold these treasured views and values.

Ninjaturtle9001 w You mean served *my* time and *my* grandad. No wonder you have to go labouring and can't get a proper job, if you can't even write English!

I had the same experience here in NZ. I was in the very last school of apprentices who were taught the same work ethic and values as Fred. The last of the old school tradies. The young guys for the last 10-15 years, have been declining rapidly from what I've witnessed. And for the "educated ones" you might be able to construct and elegant sentence, but you forget that you wouldn't last a day on a building site. We all have our own unique set of skills, it doesn't make any one better than the other.

@@sickofit9247 Don't be a moron if he's correcting him. Bladclat.

Lord High Admiral Of The Hobby Horse Marines thanks for the article, I find this sort of intergenerational conversation very engaging. Ninja turtle you sound like an admirable young man, I also agree with some of these others, keep up these values but when it comes to writing, do it correctly and express yourself with confidence

Proud to be northern more like.

Proper geezers,

fred's dead?! wtf?! i was gonna... nvm.. my dog died last week... didn;t need this right now.,. heart broken...

i feel like he was a father figure to me.. watche him all my life.. he's... my heart is broken...

There is no such thing as 'british' 😅

Back bone of Britain.... Top man..

I totally agree with ya. I'm so intrigued by this man.

die warlock shut up no he’s not

We are lucky these documentaries were made when they were. These days the BBC wouldn't give the likes of Fred a look-in unless he declared at the beginning of every episode how disastrous the industrial revolution had been for the environment.

Bermimham I believe to played major part steel works ect

K1lostream p

One of his funniest vids that one, like..

K1lostream 8

LOL

lol

Yes I'd travel back in time just to sit in pub with him & have pint 👍

They are few and far between these days but you do still find them at work or in the pub, can't beat the proper old boys

I thought the empty look on his wife's face said that he went out at night for a drink leaving her to grind. That was a very sad episode. Probably her last straw. He was a pratt letting that go.

That's right his wife, Alison only got a holiday because Fred needed to get a new front tube-plate for the steam tractor. Also those yobs the old gent was referring to trashed Freds place and robbed the place for the brass & copper.

In the pissin down rain with the Mrs on the ropes 😂 legend

I do too hate how now a days people think life revolves around pleasure like fred says some has pay for it

Fred Dibnah was a great bloke

I did a lot of painting. Up and down the ladders is a work out

I know men who couldn’t bench press 225lbs if their life depended on it, but they can carry 4 sheets of drywall up 5 flights of stairs like it’s nothing. Some muscle is for show and some muscle is for go.

I’m a plasterer Pal and there’s no way I could carry four boards on flat never mind up the stairs he must have been the Incredible Hulk 😂

@@SJM6791 Dont talk shit, if they can carry 4 sheets upstairs they must be built like brick shit house

@@SJM6791 Hahahhaaa, oh that were funny!

And enterprise. The stuff that made Britain Great, Fred knew all about that..

Not all of us need that lesson. Don’t get me wrong, lots of people, well most people now a days, do need that lesson.

@@mikeznel6048 oh please

@@mikeznel6048 million peoples today work hard in the uk for feeding theyr family, in germany the same, many million people have theyr job and a second job today...

Thickies?.... making some sort of point?

Alan Thomas Fred said it you fool , watch it before you get on your high horse

8:43

He was right. Nothing foolish about the comment, snowflakes....

Plays Live I lived in a bedsit on Bromwich street the next street from freds house where hes referring to I hit hard times but it was rife with druggies and theives but they was not all the same in them bedsits ..I used go to freds yard helping him out and as a kid growing up ironically I lived 5 streets away from his childhood house just off burnden park he was a top fella was fred

remember reeece callows insignificant comment. 2018. Wow, Not........;)

'DONG'

My dad knew him, and sounded exactly the same. This old accent has nearly disappeared, it's incredibly sad. Long live Lancashire.

Yeah yeah yeah Yeahs.

I would have loved to meet him .

In the days of bed bugs and Meth drinkers, that's Methylated Spirits for those who don't know

A reminder of normality

Hi......I am hoping you are at least 60yrs old......(.your taste in entertainment has changed.)......I am still watching old Spike Milligan Q series!! Please don't get depressed over it all.........the past..the present..and the future. Face the new world with a firm belief that you are rooted in the old. Red beans and lentils.

Watching the chimney fall down then go for a pint...that's be a good day.

Fred was a grafter all right, but he understood that the younger generation was robbed of opportunity.

Makes you wonder, the stuff he could achieve at his age, people 20 years younger these days couldnt manage what he did.

Excellent memory ❤

If that's correct, I'll bet that you paid for his pint, I knew him well through steam rallies, and he was as tight as f#?..never listened to anyone except himself. Actually, he was completely self centered, why do you think three wives gave him the bullet...

I’m truly jealous that you got to meet him and I never got the chance, rest in peace fred you were one of a kind

I bet my house it wouldn't be a just a half either.

Ed Jones - it always starts with just the half, and the best of intentions.

Got to clear the brick dust from your throat somehow.

just to wet the whistle.......nine pints later the missus comes storming in and you end up wearing your dinner.

half x 12. decent prices back then

I mean he was probably very aware that he was being filmed .. wouldn't do to be seen being rude to the guy 😂

I'd listen about 20 minutes...then slope off to the pub :{P

Captain Snort Aye and they'd keep you up all night and all :)

and he would be there ahead of you supping a well earned pint i live in liverpool and my brother is a bricklayer and he took me for my first pint in a bar side of the pub and i met the best type of tradesmen and down to earth men i loved it and it is sad to see all these pubs shutting down its the heart and sole of my liverpool city losing all the outer city pubs and we will never get it back so sad i learnt alot in these bars and the youth of today will never learn that so sad

@@paulparry3697 yeah there’s loads of pubs in Liverpool that have gone . The area I’m from the red house and the cygnet are long gone, but the black horse, the masons and the white house are still going .

I could listen to Fred, the other narcissist would do my tree in!

Thought fred was speaking to Brian Glover at first.

True that

Yer yer

I like his flat cap

rather watch the cimney fall

Must be the polite version of "he wouldn't give the steam off his piss"

Sounds like a right layabout that nephew what about The Busby 'babies' , think he meant babes , looks like Leon Arris the ITV wrestler

Micheal Prendergast no.

@Harvey7878 these bellends hate there own culture and history Marxists the lot of em.

Empires are built by bullets the point of a bayonet. Please don’t sully Sir Frank as an imperialist. He served his community and his country. That’s more than good enough.

I speak of the empire built on steam and steel. Also, it's Fred not Frank and he wasn't a Sir. He was awarded a MBE not an OBE.

@CorePathway The British empire was the greatest empire of all time. The moment we left or handed the courtesy back they went straight back to barbarism.

The British Empire nothing to be proud of...a source of Shane for the misery it caused to millions so a few wealthy families would get wealthier

@@seanrohan5829 and today it still the same ...LOOK ZIZILENSKIYY IS ABOUT

To be fair that's literally what a postman does.

@Cat Olefunt Lol.. straight over it!!!!

@@AlexR2648 Doh!!

Yes, thats funny. No jobs for thickies! Whos the comedian from Liverpool who talks about the thick table?

Love Fred's spot on analysis on modern society the other geezer look like Brian Glover out of Ken Loach's 'Kes' , pure class!

Jobs for thickies are all gone now, then the guy says "Well I told him to get a post man's job! Lol

Are you going for ,"A swift half". The rest of the world do not know what that means. Fred you left us too soon. RIP

Fred was no thickie.

Then pulled it down or knocked it over.

After Thatcher put all the miners out of work

Health and safety? What health and safety? How he did some of the jobs he did amazes me

Back when men knew they were men and not a woman or non-binary! 😂

He didn't even take out insurance on many of his jobs, unless they were for Mr Courtauld. Fred often said with the price of insurance, he'd rather 'take on his own back' if anything happened, even though he would have been a ruined man had one gone wrong

Aye,another proper character,who's gone. Shame.

remember the Alamo....

Jason Leedham Proper LOL at that, stay on the path lads!

I thought it was Brian Glover, absolute spitting image, must have been related

Caspar! Caspar!

Remember that other man , Blaster bates who blew up towers , he also was a legend with some very funny stories 😄

they were prob drinking special brews, laffin

Cracking jumper he has on.

Definitely knew how to take a dig if he'd been in with the Christian Brothers.

I thought that as well so I saw you wrote it and gave you a like and a comment.

Not with what Fred was earning to do it 🤣

Nowt wrong with that old fella.

@@Critical_Stinking I liked the old fellow.

CAVERN1234 ha ha ha ha

Top Lancs men.

You hit the nail on the head,A dying bread! it’s a complete shame that his generation disappeared and never to return so sad.

This...😢

That's why the 16 to 18 Yr olds for the past 25 yrs or so hve been forced to go to 'college'. There are no jobs or old fashioned apprenticeships.

@@irenejohnston6802 Yes, because a lot of the unskilled jobs have now been automated and lost.

MAN CITY FAN FROM BOLTON AHAH

It's all gone.

His house is for sale right now on Right Move
