He's a young guy, yet he acts Ike he's from generations past. Alfie is what we're missing in the world. This is someone who live in reality not social media.
Yes I thought that too. He wouldn't be out of place in the Clitheroe of the 1950s or even the 1850s. That is not to say he is 'old fashioned' - he just has the sort of timeless quality that some people have always had.
I mean Alfie is just a Top Lad but can we take a minute to appreciate the Director. Stunning edits, great framing, just really well put together! Made 50 minutes feel like 15!
Clitheroe Town Council need to hire Alfie as the towns maintaince man!! He's proud of the place he lives.......what better man to take care of the town!!! Keep up the good work Alfie
He seems like a really good kid, and I'm not saying you're wrong but he seems to need a bit of a mentor/teacher. As someone who has done quite a few odd jobs watching him paint that ladies fence was excruciating. He was getting paint everywhere, nothing was uniform, it looked like shit. I feel like people are willing to pay for a good job, he could've got 60-70 for that fence if he did everything correctly. The attitude is right, but you have to stand by your work too.
…..and sell his dreams for the honour of becoming a slave.. no way..his freedom is something money can’t buy! Stay loose Alfie, you are your own man and hopefully always will be. 🤙
Alfie, I watched this video when it was posted a year ago or so, and was inspired by your resorsefullness and resilience, by your kindness and humor. The bin train will be forever engraved on my mind 😀 Anyhow, I am a 53yr old lady with ADHD, I don't drive and have always struggled with jobs. I have been retraining as a gardener recently and now I am proudly a "commuting" gardener who pushes her trolley of gardening tools and travels to jobs on the local buses. I invented various hacks for my tools to make them as light, small and portable as possible etc. I now have various clients who are a joy to work for and I love gardening like no other job I had before! What I would love to add to your message in your film is that I really believe that one should do what one loves but it also needs to meet the needs of the people out there (market) and when you add your personal touch to it, which is your character and personality, preferably a positive one, then you really will succeed in this world. Not necessarily in the eyes of everyone, but most importantly, in your own eyes. You should end up being satisfied and rewarded.
“You can look at life two ways, you can be frightened of it, or just live it.” Actually one of the most meaningful things I’ve heard someone say. This lad is a lot brighter than he gives himself credit for.
He was exactly right when he said you can keep worrying about something that never actually happens. So many people spend so much time worrying about the worst-case scenario that they get used to being paralysed by a fear of 'what if' but if they saw a graph of how many times 'if' happened they'd soon realize there's nowt to be worried about!
Why hasn't Alfie's local authority rewarded hm for what he does in the town? This documentary is a terrific advert for Clitheroe and its people. Alfie is a fabulous member of his local community and a shining example to other youngsters.
This guy is a living definition of having honour and integrity instead of arrogance and ego, well done Alfie and you have loads of fans from the muslim community ❤️
His parents did a fine job raising this boy. They should be proud . What a inspiration to watch . I thought boys like this were a thing of the past . I love his spirit . Whilst he is poor in money. He is rich in spirit. And that's priceless . ❤ you go alfie !!!!
Protect Alfie at all costs. Glad to see people get behind him. Definitely shades of Fred Dibnah. I love his humility and the way he connects with people. Breaking fast with Abdul and painting Edna's fence were really touching moments. Nice one Alfie lad. RIP Edna
As a retired secondary school teacher I can already picture what a rascal Alfie probably was in school but…regardless of his academic ability he is polite, nicely spoken, caring, kind hearted, well meaning, sensible and a whole host of other commendable qualities. He’s making the absolute best of his life and trying to make others lives better too. If he can make an honest living like this he should be commended not punished. Better this than becoming a loud and foul mouthed yob, causing damage, threatening people, robbing, drinking, taking drugs or worse being an alcoholic and selling drugs. I don’t know this lad but I’m proud of him. Go Alfie!!!
I'm doing what he's doing but a bit different. I live day by day finding odd jobs. Leaflet dropping etc. I've been backpacking around Europe for 4 years, left UK with £1000 and went to Norway. That ran out in a couple of months 😅 so 2 or 3 months in I was broke. Found a job in Germany for 6 months and met another guy who wanted help on his house in Elba Italy and we flew over in his private plane. Worked there for a few months in early 2020 and drive the work van back to Germany and started backpacking again. I saved enough for interrail pass for 3 months a drone and money for 6 months. Spent a lot in Netherlands mind as only Germany and Netherlands was open first 6 weeks then done 12 countries from may to October 2020. It was amazing, now been in southern spain on the Mediterranean sea funding odd jobs and surviving. This is a great way to make a living. He's eco friendly too like me as I don't have a car I walk mostly. This is like the old days this kid is a legend. 😊💪 As long as he's not claiming benefits it should be fine. He pays tax on things he buys.
take yourself for a walk, cleanshirt. it's none of your business whether people drink or take drugs or even sell drugs. why even mentioning them in the same sentence as threatening and robbing people? was the secondary school for disabled people? you special mate? fuckin yob hahahahahaha
He’s such an incredible inspiration, I’ll be working more on myself to become a better human and a friendlier person. Alfie has changed the way I see things❤️
Alfie i have been in the dumps of late, lost 2 mates lately so i want to personally say thank you for cheering me up. I am a carer for the elderly and it makes me happy, i am on my 22nd year of care work out of my 45 and the little old lady you helped with the fence reminded me of the britan i once knew, Alfie is like a slice of the past. Good on you lad.😊
He is, in his way, a great healer. I feel such a love for him. Someone ought to front him a portable generator/power washer. And a bit of business tuition. Such a work ethic should be encouraged. We happily throw money at rehabilitation of miscreants, we must assist the Alfies of this world too. I’m also deeply heartened by your story. I was a nurse. It is a most special person who loves caring for the elderly. Bless your dear heart. I’m so sorry for your loss. One is hard enough to cope with, two must be devastating. I hope your doldrums pass quickly. You are also a true gem.
This should be a series. Travel the country doing weird and random odd jobs for people. People pay for the personality. What a legend. Got at least one fan in Australia Alfie boy ❤
Be careful what you wish for. When media pick up people like Alfie, who is clearly vulnerable, it can end up destroying them. Hope his family are protecting him enough
And Abs treated him like a total prick. The kid starved all day, spoke highly of the Asian bloke and dude wouldn't even bring Alfie round the family for iftaar. Because Alfie is totally oblivious, a bit of a moron and dressed like a tramp.
Alfie is a throw back to a time when people were self -starters and entrepreneurs, This guy has a lot going on and I see his future as a successful man. The community needs to acknowledge him and note his community oriented mindset.
The local authority shouldnt stop him from doing work they should bloody pay the lad for what he does!! He is an absolute star!! His community are so lucky to have him!
This is f***ing brilliant. I never knew that such an awesome fly on the wall doc could be made these days. There's no constant stupid, inane muzak but proper songs at appropriate points like by George Formby and Hank Williams. Well done to those involved in making this film not least to the subject. It's hard to believe he's so wise and witty and still a teenager. An amazing lad basically.
That’s one of the best documentaries I’ve seen; British Realism at its finest. I like that the film maker doesn’t try to dominate too much, although there are narratives imposed (like Alfie always doing the jobs wrong or encountering problems) but it really brought me in to his world. I really hope Alfie keeps on trucking, and doesn’t work his body too much into the ground. He’s really smart, and takes responsibility for himself which is far more than our shit politicians do. In some ways Alfie is freer than most people. But you still need bread on the table to keep going. It seems like the people in the area are quite supportive though.
Alfie is such a likeable person in that he is willing and makes work a priority, a very good example to youths who does not want to work, he leaves a very good impression from the upbringing of his parents.
@@dianematthew8202 He does. Although he also shows how the entrepeneurial propaganda that was pumped out by our gov for the past 3 decades doesn't always pay off for those that didn't get the best circumstances. Where is the support?
@@lotuseater7247 Your right JH he puts our politicians to shame and zero support for our own.I work in Clitheroe and am gonna meet Alfie and try and set something up for him.What a great kid.
If Alfie's ADHD is I suspect, then it means he struggles to keep focused on a task so he flits between things. This makes it difficult for an employer when you need someone reliable. You can see this with how many different things he's tried. And the medication to help with this changes your personality as it's basically speed. Alfie though seems to have found his vocation in community assistance. Hopefully he can focus that and make it a life long living / success around it. If you can harness the wild energy ADHD can be something very impressive.
so not only does he provide a cheap service, he cheers people up whilst giving people a human contact like a good neighbour and friend, this is what every neighbourhood needs. good on you for trying to make a living from such a basic need, we need more like you
If my son turns out half the lad you are Alfie then I will be the proudest man alive, your a total inspiration for the youth of today. Keep doing you lad because your only going to grow grow grow, and in time when you can and you have a small van your business will pick right up. Good luck kid and I hope your local community continue to support you 👍🏼👏🏼
@@NathanMatthews. yep a very long time, but he’s doing what my age use to do, youth of today are fixated on gaming and social media, but Alfie’s out there trying his best and thinking outside the box. Yeah 100% he needs fine tuning but he’s got the foundation. Most that work his age can’t go in unless their phones are glued to them and try and get an honest day out of most is like asking the sea to part
He's doing more for the community than the local council & has amazing communication skills & can turn his hand to anything - nobody can accuse this lad of being work shy. So funny when the dogs took him for a walk 🤣 So impressed with his spiritual fasting experience. 🙏🏽🕯👏
I've been watching Michael Palin travel docs. I rate Alfie up there with him. I hope we're going to see more of Alfie. He now has his own channel, 'Alfieoddjob'. He should have his own TV show - if he were given a team to film him and he continued as he's doing on his channel, I think that would work best. He is a genuine star.
When you get paid for hauling away rubbish, it's commercial waste that needs to be paid for at the tip, or anyone could set up with a big car and do the same. & declare taxes & on that bike is unsafe loads
Lad did in one 50 min video more than most councils do in a year. Cleaning road signs, graffiti etc, all because it's a good thing to do. Not many like him sadly his age, but hope more follow suit.
That's exactly what I thought buddy, and for free I have left a pretty long comment to say how councils would do it basically for the council to do the same job it would cost hundreds if not thousands to do the job bung Alfie a fiver and he will do it in 5 minutes, bureaucracy at its best mate councils waste so much money on making sure they don't get sued now it ridiculous, just take a pot hole years ago you would literally have 2 guys in a flatbed transit with a tar pot on the back and some asphalt or whatever to fill them In and just be basically out on patrol when they find one they just fix it job done! Now they wait for it to be reported then send an assessor out to determine the risk factor of said pot hole and the importance of fixing it they paint it a certain colour and fuck off, 3 months later and tonnes of paperwork and many more pot holes including the original one are now worse but now the team come out with traffic management and "fix" the pot hole with that new shit Pot Ash crap that has to be compacted down by the cars themselves 😂 then 6 weeks later its all gone and the pot hole remains plus all the office staff to manage this mess all get payed when years ago it was 2 guys in a van that fixed everything they see that needs fixing daily without being told where and what to do they just used their common sense and fixed it there and then saving a fortune, unfortunately this is the way it all works now and the councils are going bankrupt all over and they wonder why, if it ain't broke don't fix it comes to mind well it is broken and they don't know how to fix it without spending even more wasted public money!
If you want to come to the US you can stay at my house and we have enough work for you for 20 years. God Bless you. You give us a glimmer of hope in a screwed up world.
@@danielduke5059 They wonder why? Councils have had their budgets slashed in the last decade. Every penny is accounted for and there aint enough pennies to mend all your potholes etc
Alfie keep posting your life on here. Every job you do pick up a camera and film it. Daily vlogs. You will soon start making bank. There's people making money on youtube who don't have an ounce of the character you do.
A modern day Fred Dibnah, salt of the earth. Everybody’s friend, polite, hard working, takes everyday as it comes. Finally, a REAL person getting some exposure. Keep it up pal 👍
Alfie, you are an inspiration, I’m 23 and I live in a static caravan doing anything possible to earn a penny, people think I’m crazy for living the lifestyle I live but I absolutely love it and seeing what mindset and what determination you have is another reason to keep on pushing forward. Thank you mate 👍
I’m 34, spent 13 year in the army have a nice house on a nice quiet estate, iv left the army and recently done my plumbing and gas safe qualification. Mow My goal is to sell the house and move to morcombe buy a static caravan and do bits of plumbing around the local area and local sites, self employed set my own pace at work and also through life take on my own jobs with no pressure. Sounds like a good lifestyle to me, you keep going mark 👍🏼
@@johnwolfie1945 Exactly the same thing I want to do with bits and bats of mechanical work. I hope it all goes to plan John and I wish you the absolute best 👍
You have warmed a grumpy old mans heart mate. To see such a young mate with a mind that is so determined and a manner that proves we do still have some amazing, hardworking and caring people in this world. When you spoke about Leonard's disability compared to your foot ... I was floored by your amazing respect and humility towards others. Keep going Alfie ... and please keep posting. I am sure I will not be the only viewer telling everyone they know to watch this and subscribe.
I’m really lost for words, what a guy! I never laughed so much watching a TH-cam video. If every 18 y/o had half the attitude Alfie had then then what a world we would live in. Please please please do a part 2! 👏👏👏👏
He is a very beautifull soul bless you Alfie the world needs more Alfies, and everyone needs an Alfie in his life keep up the good work stay yourself greetings from the Netherlands
What a genuinely nice guy this kid is. Hand on heart, I've never wanted anybody to achieve more than what this kid deserves. Hopefully, soon, he'll get his just rewards. Keep going, Alfie.
@@MONGOBOY it looks so scripted , if he is genuine & actually like that , he's one of a kind , I adore him , but it's like it's just too good to be true 🤣 one of those
@@themacattack6312 he’s well known in his area and the bbc have made a documentary about him he’s also been in his local news paper and also not to mention this whole documentary it sounds like a whole load of effort just to fool people he’s a nice lad… ❌🧠
What a poignant end to a wonderful Lancastrian documentary. "You come wi nowt and you go wi nowt" said Alfie, and then we learn Edna had passed, but at least she went with a well painted fence so it's not all bad.
Alfie I’m showing this video to my 2 boys who are 15/16. They’re a little lost with what they want to do in life and you will give them the hope and belief that they can achieve anything they want. Congrats Alfie on being the man you are today. Many would’ve changed their paths and gone down a different way of life. ❤❤
Ah such a breath of fresh air from the usual “plastic” rubbish across TH-cam, you are a credit to your society Alfie and I wish you all the best. I look forward to more content.
Someone help this dude out he is the pilar of his community doing jobs for free what an absolute good role model and inspiration to young lads he is, my young lad 12yrs of age told me about Alfie he loves him and now so do I this guy really deserves a lucky break 🙏 what lovely young man so polite and courteous to everyone he meets and funny too. You put a smile on my face i really enjoyed this thank you...
The determination of this young man is absolutely remarkable!, please don’t let anyone or anything stop you doing what makes you happy, you are a absolute credit to this country 💙👍
This guy is extraordinarily charismatic. The way he communicates with everyone around him will be his biggest asset in life. He is destined for a life in sales.
Sales!? He is a philosopher. I want a book of Alfieisms. Like those quote books, with nice pictures…. And so does the world. Shit Alfie, careful up that ladder, son 😬
It’s a strange feeling at the end of this. I would love to think that someone has offered Alfie a job by now BUT I would also like to see this as a series. The gentleman that made this documentary has gold on his hands right here. I just hope he knows that. Good luck Alfie I really hope we get to see more of you young man.
if everyone was knocking on each others doors all the time looking for work and nearly causing accidents with ridiculously long bikes... the world would truly not be a better place.
This has to be one of the best documentaries I've seen in a while, definitely inspired by Alfie's story! Hats off to everyone who made this doc possible, the direction, the shots, and every single thing was on point! 10/10 hands down!
What an absolute legend this lad is. No questioning himself or his abilities, will take any task thrown at him. Not a lot of people like this nowadays and it shows the levels of laziness in society. Got diagnosed and didn’t let it define him and disagrees with the labelling of children. This man needs an award and he will go incredibly far with his intelligence! Carry on smashing it Alfie and inspiring those to make a living any which way they can with out feeling embarrassed 👍
What a documentary, boy do we need more 'Alfies' in this world. Alfie is already a LEGEND at such a young age, this cheers me up no end. Keep up the good work Alfie, what a guy.
I got around 8 minutes in and already worried this docu would end too soon. What a breath of fresh air and joy this was. A cross between Carl Pilkington, a dash of Peter Kay, a lot of funny one liners. I knew I was in for a treat when 'roses are red...' was blurted out over a tannoy with the reaction of "shit" and grey haired old lady popped up from nowhere looking startled. I laughed so much through this 'fly on the wall docu'. Alfie, if you read this, you're an absolute gem. There's something very heart warming about a young man calling an old lady 'love' or 'sweetheart', one little word to make someone feel seen and special.
I have to agree with everything u said. He really is amaz. I wish we had a lad like him on our road. Those lads are the best they'll always be around and legendary. Have a beautiful day 😁👍🙏
Nobody can knock this lads effort. You don’t get many young lads doing what he does anymore. Fair play to you Alfie mate keep on doing what makes you happy, that’s all that matters
Alfie is a legend I wish more young people were like this. He doesn’t care what he does as long as he’s doing an honest job & helping others. I hope he makes it big.
This bloke is an inspiration. He’ll become a star, that’s for damn sure, I only hope he keeps his pure spirit and authenticity as he goes. Right now he represents a generation of people who have been forgotten by the system or unsupported by education, but they bring grit and entrepreneurialism and make a good go of it. Go Alfie!!
100% this. If people with this level of ADHD are to part of society without being medicated on some strong drugs that change there personality then we need to rethink how the state interacts with them and makes them productive. It's difficult but we should make the effort.
Burnley lad here, with a high level education and seen and done a fair share, but I swear on mother nature I could never advocate anything as much as this video, this lad and the people in it, salt of the earth the lot of them. Alfie lad, please never stop what you are doing and PLEASE more content, hopefully still collaborating with Aaron 👍
Best documentary I've seen in ages. Perfect example of how hard work pays off, and no matter what life throws at you, keep your chin up. Well done, Alfie!
What annoys me is we are paying council tax and he is doing the jobs the council should be doing in the first place not to mention the executive of the council earning £200k a year just sat around a table doing nothing for the area.

As a Muslim, i really respect you for fasting, honestly. I enjoyed the doc. Keep up the excellent work, Alfie. I hope you achieve lots of success. Could be the next Charlie Mullins of Clitheroe for Odd Jobs.
Remember seeing you featured on National tv Alfie and this has just come up on my time line. Message to all those living near Alfie if you can use his services or sponsor his bike please do as he's a remarkable young man who cares for his community and the people in it. Well done Alfie.
Well made documentary. Was this channel made to help Alfie financially? If so, great effort! There are very few young people like Alfie these days. And his kindness and empathy is amazing! Well done Alfie's parents! I pray you will be super successful and continue to be generous and kind, Alfie. The higher you go, the more you give back and I promise you, your blessings will continue pouring in in abundance. All the best & take care!

Why hasn't Alfie's local authority rewarded hm for what he does in the town? This documentary is a terrific advert for Clitheroe and its people. Alfie is a fabulous member of his local community and a shining example to other youngsters.
Well said and very true, he should be rewarded.
I scrolled through the comments after making mine and I would agree he really is a credit to his family, friends and his community.
Because they are too busy dealing with the brain cell buzzing around their head
Alfies a wee prick who knocked up my niece and ran off with the contents of her skip as she was getting her house done
@@callummcgregor4589 yeah I bet 🤣
This guy is a living definition of having honour and integrity instead of arrogance and ego, well done Alfie and you have loads of fans from the muslim community ❤️
Awesome comment 🙏💜💚
Love this comment
Why can u as one guy Talk for the Muslim Community ? Trash Religion shit everywhere …..
Wow!❤
I want this lad to have his own series!!!! I'd watch it on repeat!! Go Alfie ya bloody ledgend!!
This young lad restores my faith in humanity. What a absolutely cracking lad
His parents did a fine job raising this boy. They should be proud . What a inspiration to watch . I thought boys like this were a thing of the past . I love his spirit . Whilst he is poor in money. He is rich in spirit. And that's priceless . ❤ you go alfie !!!!

Protect Alfie at all costs. Glad to see people get behind him. Definitely shades of Fred Dibnah. I love his humility and the way he connects with people. Breaking fast with Abdul and painting Edna's fence were really touching moments. Nice one Alfie lad.
RIP Edna
Ah,crikey....Poor Edna
He is damn similar to good'ol Fred!
Literally just said this Fred would be proud that lads like this are still about his beck of the woods
Alfie is never rude, always polite, kind, generous and much more. He deserves all the love we can give him.
This lad is like what a lot of people used to be like in this country ..well done lad
still are a lot of people like that
@@Hugh.G.Rectionx 1% of people?
A rare gem and I wish all the best in the future, I will be watching! Respect!
@@mintythemoose They broke the mould in making people like him!
All the young ones now don't even know what gender they are😂
As a retired secondary school teacher I can already picture what a rascal Alfie probably was in school but…regardless of his academic ability he is polite, nicely spoken, caring, kind hearted, well meaning, sensible and a whole host of other commendable qualities. He’s making the absolute best of his life and trying to make others lives better too. If he can make an honest living like this he should be commended not punished. Better this than becoming a loud and foul mouthed yob, causing damage, threatening people, robbing, drinking, taking drugs or worse being an alcoholic and selling drugs.
I don’t know this lad but I’m proud of him. Go Alfie!!!
100% agree
I'm doing what he's doing but a bit different. I live day by day finding odd jobs. Leaflet dropping etc. I've been backpacking around Europe for 4 years, left UK with £1000 and went to Norway. That ran out in a couple of months 😅 so 2 or 3 months in I was broke. Found a job in Germany for 6 months and met another guy who wanted help on his house in Elba Italy and we flew over in his private plane. Worked there for a few months in early 2020 and drive the work van back to Germany and started backpacking again. I saved enough for interrail pass for 3 months a drone and money for 6 months. Spent a lot in Netherlands mind as only Germany and Netherlands was open first 6 weeks then done 12 countries from may to October 2020. It was amazing, now been in southern spain on the Mediterranean sea funding odd jobs and surviving. This is a great way to make a living. He's eco friendly too like me as I don't have a car I walk mostly. This is like the old days this kid is a legend. 😊💪 As long as he's not claiming benefits it should be fine. He pays tax on things he buys.
take yourself for a walk, cleanshirt. it's none of your business whether people drink or take drugs or even sell drugs. why even mentioning them in the same sentence as threatening and robbing people? was the secondary school for disabled people? you special mate? fuckin yob hahahahahaha
Nicely said. ❤
Academic ability is worthless if you dont have any other qualities
Alfie is a legend! Well done mate. x
need more people like him! world would be a much better place
He’s such an incredible inspiration, I’ll be working more on myself to become a better human and a friendlier person. Alfie has changed the way I see things❤️
You can't cook.
WE LOVE YOU JAMIE❤
@@qz9720 how do you know jamie?
Alfie i have been in the dumps of late, lost 2 mates lately so i want to personally say thank you for cheering me up. I am a carer for the elderly and it makes me happy, i am on my 22nd year of care work out of my 45 and the little old lady you helped with the fence reminded me of the britan i once knew, Alfie is like a slice of the past. Good on you lad.😊
He is, in his way, a great healer.
I feel such a love for him. Someone ought to front him a portable generator/power washer. And a bit of business tuition. Such a work ethic should be encouraged.
We happily throw money at rehabilitation of miscreants, we must assist the Alfies of this world too.
I’m also deeply heartened by your story. I was a nurse. It is a most special person who loves caring for the elderly.
Bless your dear heart.
I’m so sorry for your loss. One is hard enough to cope with, two must be devastating.
I hope your doldrums pass quickly. You are also a true gem.
Bless you!
This should be a series. Travel the country doing weird and random odd jobs for people. People pay for the personality. What a legend. Got at least one fan in Australia Alfie boy ❤
Now that's an idea to give Alfie something to do and focus on.
🤞
Why would he do that when he loves where he’s from?
Be careful what you wish for. When media pick up people like Alfie, who is clearly vulnerable, it can end up destroying them.
Hope his family are protecting him enough
This needs to be at Tribecca or Cannes Film Festival. And Alfies gonna smash it in whatever he does, a TH-cam career probably a good place to start!
You have a point there - this should be submitted to one of the film festivals
I absolutely couldn't agree more! Definitely should be submitted.
I agree with everyone above. This is 💯 film festival worthy. Everyone needs to see this.
What a bloody guy , if everyone was like Alfie the world would be a better place ! I just hope life doesn’t bring him down 🙏🏼
Alfie's a character but if everyone was like Alfie we would be living in a very different world.
But yes hopefully he keeps his love of life.

@@tammyhall1008 it’s just another word for “fucking” but less offensive lol
the manners, the chirpiness, the balanced outlook on life, the cultural sensitivity to Abs fasting. what a lad.
Manners? He was swearing all through the video. Cultural sensitivity? Don't be pathetic.
And Abs treated him like a total prick. The kid starved all day, spoke highly of the Asian bloke and dude wouldn't even bring Alfie round the family for iftaar. Because Alfie is totally oblivious, a bit of a moron and dressed like a tramp.
Lovely kid. Just too lovely. Few respect it.
Alfie is a throw back to a time when people were self -starters and entrepreneurs, This guy has a lot going on and I see his future as a successful man. The community needs to acknowledge him and note his community oriented mindset.
He’s went down another route think he’s on drugs now
More of the new generation could take a leaf out this lads book. Can well tell he's been raised correctly ❤️
Loads of people are self starters and entrepreneurs now- myself included. What a dumb comment
@@danielcostello4064 doesnt look like it bro

Absolutely 💯 he does more for the local community than any council could ever do.
The council are a joke
The council could hire him. 😂
People like Alfie restore my faith in humanity.
Top job lad!
This is f***ing brilliant. I never knew that such an awesome fly on the wall doc could be made these days. There's no constant stupid, inane muzak but proper songs at appropriate points like by George Formby and Hank Williams. Well done to those involved in making this film not least to the subject. It's hard to believe he's so wise and witty and still a teenager. An amazing lad basically.
"not the brightest"? man you're brighter than most of us mate, you saw a need and filled it. Ambitious and good willing, keep at it boss🙏
Haven’t laughed so much for a long time this needs to be a series on c4 it would be a great success ,what a lovely young man Alfie is
Same here -needed a good laugh so much -Thanks Alfie
You should watch ‘That Peter K Thing: Episode 5, Leonard’
@@mrtwostrike oh god 😂😂
@@mrtwostrike I’ve never heard anyone else mention that dvd.
He's not black or Asian, he's got no chance
That’s one of the best documentaries I’ve seen; British Realism at its finest. I like that the film maker doesn’t try to dominate too much, although there are narratives imposed (like Alfie always doing the jobs wrong or encountering problems) but it really brought me in to his world. I really hope Alfie keeps on trucking, and doesn’t work his body too much into the ground. He’s really smart, and takes responsibility for himself which is far more than our shit politicians do. In some ways Alfie is freer than most people. But you still need bread on the table to keep going. It seems like the people in the area are quite supportive though.
Alfie is such a likeable person in that he is willing and makes work a priority, a very good example to youths who does not want to work, he leaves a very good impression from the upbringing of his parents.
@@dianematthew8202 He does. Although he also shows how the entrepeneurial propaganda that was pumped out by our gov for the past 3 decades doesn't always pay off for those that didn't get the best circumstances. Where is the support?
@@lotuseater7247 Your right JH he puts our politicians to shame and zero support for our own.I work in Clitheroe and am gonna meet Alfie and try and set something up for him.What a great kid.
@@SuperRickyjenkins wow that’s good 👍🏻
@@SuperRickyjenkins good idea mate
How has nobody snapped this lad up for work! Absolutely outstanding youngman
Seems he is the "independent" worker by preference.
He just saying in the video, he can't keep up with bosses so he's self employed
If Alfie's ADHD is I suspect, then it means he struggles to keep focused on a task so he flits between things.
This makes it difficult for an employer when you need someone reliable.
You can see this with how many different things he's tried.
And the medication to help with this changes your personality as it's basically speed.
Alfie though seems to have found his vocation in community assistance.
Hopefully he can focus that and make it a life long living / success around it.
If you can harness the wild energy ADHD can be something very impressive.
This guy is so fun to watch. He should have his own show
44:54 Absolutely amazing comedic editing. The framing of the shot and the two poor dogs being torn away is pure gold.
Absolutely hilarious =)))
One of them was just trying to go for a peaceful wee too.
I've laughed way harder then i should when i saw this 🤣
Yes so funny, looked like something out of a comedy sketch
I loved it when the brown lab took a shit and he said alright eat it up!!!
A proper decent lad, definitely born out of his time, wish there were more young people like Alfie about 👍
so not only does he provide a cheap service, he cheers people up whilst giving people a human contact like a good neighbour and friend, this is what every neighbourhood needs. good on you for trying to make a living from such a basic need, we need more like you
If my son turns out half the lad you are Alfie then I will be the proudest man alive, your a total inspiration for the youth of today. Keep doing you lad because your only going to grow grow grow, and in time when you can and you have a small van your business will pick right up. Good luck kid and I hope your local community continue to support you 👍🏼👏🏼

Probably been a long time since you was young lol. Alfie's great but not a inspiration at all.
@@NathanMatthews. yep a very long time, but he’s doing what my age use to do, youth of today are fixated on gaming and social media, but Alfie’s out there trying his best and thinking outside the box. Yeah 100% he needs fine tuning but he’s got the foundation. Most that work his age can’t go in unless their phones are glued to them and try and get an honest day out of most is like asking the sea to part

He's doing more for the community than the local council & has amazing communication skills & can turn his hand to anything -
nobody can accuse this lad of being work shy.
So funny when the dogs took him for a walk 🤣
So impressed with his spiritual fasting experience. 🙏🏽🕯👏
Of course some parasite from the council who sits round all day doing fuck all has a problem with him
I've been watching Michael Palin travel docs. I rate Alfie up there with him. I hope we're going to see more of Alfie. He now has his own channel, 'Alfieoddjob'. He should have his own TV show - if he were given a team to film him and he continued as he's doing on his channel, I think that would work best. He is a genuine star.
Get this guy an MBE for services to the public. What a guy. Respect to the direction and editing this was quality 👏

Lad did in one 50 min video more than most councils do in a year. Cleaning road signs, graffiti etc, all because it's a good thing to do. Not many like him sadly his age, but hope more follow suit.
That's exactly what I thought buddy, and for free I have left a pretty long comment to say how councils would do it basically for the council to do the same job it would cost hundreds if not thousands to do the job bung Alfie a fiver and he will do it in 5 minutes, bureaucracy at its best mate councils waste so much money on making sure they don't get sued now it ridiculous, just take a pot hole years ago you would literally have 2 guys in a flatbed transit with a tar pot on the back and some asphalt or whatever to fill them In and just be basically out on patrol when they find one they just fix it job done! Now they wait for it to be reported then send an assessor out to determine the risk factor of said pot hole and the importance of fixing it they paint it a certain colour and fuck off, 3 months later and tonnes of paperwork and many more pot holes including the original one are now worse but now the team come out with traffic management and "fix" the pot hole with that new shit Pot Ash crap that has to be compacted down by the cars themselves 😂 then 6 weeks later its all gone and the pot hole remains plus all the office staff to manage this mess all get payed when years ago it was 2 guys in a van that fixed everything they see that needs fixing daily without being told where and what to do they just used their common sense and fixed it there and then saving a fortune, unfortunately this is the way it all works now and the councils are going bankrupt all over and they wonder why, if it ain't broke don't fix it comes to mind well it is broken and they don't know how to fix it without spending even more wasted public money!

I got around 8 minutes in and already worried this docu would end too soon. What a breath of fresh air and joy this was. A cross between Carl Pilkington, a dash of Peter Kay, a lot of funny one liners. I knew I was in for a treat when 'roses are red...' was blurted out over a tannoy with the reaction of "shit" and grey haired old lady popped up from nowhere looking startled. I laughed so much through this 'fly on the wall docu'. Alfie, if you read this, you're an absolute gem. There's something very heart warming about a young man calling an old lady 'love' or 'sweetheart', one little word to make someone feel seen and special.

She was a lovely lady trying to help him out...she obviously loved her garden and was trying to make it look really nice... I think she was worried about all the paint being spilled over her garden and pathway lol... RIP Edna... she reminds me so much of my own mum.. she loves her garden as well.
@@DenzelLN936 hey cmon a little more compassion there mate.
I'm 51 and suffer from adhd.
The concentration is like double the amount what some others do.
Our brains work at very hi speeds with no brakes or gears.
O to 60 in milliseconds.
It's knackering.
I don't sleep well in 8 hours. 2 of which is eventually such a deep sleep that you wake up totally knackered!
Then the next day begins.
But what I do love about us folks is that we really can think outside the box, triangle, rhombus and see more efficient ways of solving problems.
This is medically a recognised disability.
Whether you want the label or not. It's better for everyone to understand each other and help progress fir the common good.
Now I'm not a key board warrior so I'm not angry at what you said.
It's just publicy other people might be given misinformation which isn't healthy.
Have a great weekend❤

As a Muslim, i really respect you for fasting, honestly. I enjoyed the doc. Keep up the excellent work, Alfie. I hope you achieve lots of success. Could be the next Charlie Mullins of Clitheroe for Odd Jobs.
Who cares about your supernatural delusions? It's 2023 now, grow up
Alhamdo lillah.
Subhan Allah.
Masha Allah.
Alfie deserves more than he does going out doing a service for the community around him.
How long the best for fasting.

Remember seeing you featured on National tv Alfie and this has just come up on my time line. Message to all those living near Alfie if you can use his services or sponsor his bike please do as he's a remarkable young man who cares for his community and the people in it. Well done Alfie.
Well made documentary. Was this channel made to help Alfie financially? If so, great effort!
There are very few young people like Alfie these days. And his kindness and empathy is amazing! Well done Alfie's parents! I pray you will be super successful and continue to be generous and kind, Alfie. The higher you go, the more you give back and I promise you, your blessings will continue pouring in in abundance. All the best & take care!
This was beautiful, well done to Alfie for the work he does for Clitheroe and well done to Aaron for documenting it! Rest in peace Edna
Can someone please tell me who is Edna please.Respect
@@ac534 Watch the film to the end.
