  • A controversial subject I know but its a enjoyable pastime I enjoy with friends and family so why not talk about it.
    I hope to show you how enjoyable drinking can be, when done in a sensible way, and the many advantages having a few drinks can provide.
    Its a positive look at drinking which makes a nice change.

    I'm with you on the alone drinking. I also like sociable drinking but I still love my own company and my own music sometimes. It's meditative, I think. Not everyone enjoys their own heads though.

    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!!

    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.

      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."

    Patrick this was perhaps my favorite pub shed video. In fact, I just shared it with my very best school days mates. 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).

    The way you speak about how drinking keeps your friendships together and brings a smile to your face is the same as myself and friends treat cannabis. I hope one day people can consume what ever they wish in peace, without the fear of law enforcement.

    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 🍻

    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.

    Thank you for this joyous vid Pat. There's been a lot of peddling misery on TH-cam 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.

    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 ;-)

      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

    @jerryenochson4409 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks, Pat. Some time ago I actually commented how we enjoyed your small pub videos.
    You said you might do another soon...and you sure did now. GREAT!
    We have our own small pub and share the same thoughts that time spent in it are something to enjoy and look forward to.
    It's not a thing about "heavy drinking", whatsoever. It's a place to enjoy less crowding, assured seating, and you control the type of music you are in the mood for any particular evening.
    We also can stock the type of beers we wish to have on hand throughout the various seasons of the year.
    It has become a place of haven when the pandemic struck and will continue to be so moving forward.
    Even through your earlier videos...we saw and ordered from somewhere a similar "Worlds Smallest Pub" plague that you have.
    We sure will NOT be find anything uncomplimentary to say about a video theme of this type as a different occasional choice from camping.
    So "THANKS"...and let's all
    "HAVE ANOTHER!" (Smiles).

    • @patrickdickinson6492
      @patrickdickinson6492  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Jerry and thanks for really nice comments, must admit these pub sheds are amazing places, little hide aways where you can go to another place like going back in time to a simpler life style.
      It came into its own in lockdown and really helped stay sane and get through in scathed, hope to be visiting on a regular basis to share a few drinks with my viewers..... thanks Pat 👍

    What a wonderful time I had at your pub tonight having a drink or two, and listening to sage advice :) I too started drinking with my buddies in local bars at about 16, where the bartenders knew us as local hardworking boys, and would entertain us with their hilarious stories. I loved those "old" guys.

    Another great video Pat and a very different subject, but I have to admit your observations are spot on,getting together and reminiscing with your old pals around a pub table, maybe a game of darts or pool with a decent pint is one of life's greatest pleasures. Keep the videos coming, as an ex train driver I would love to see another travel video, it's been a while. All the best.

    Great video Pat. Like you I started my drinking education in Sheffield - just a few years in advance of you though, first pub visit in 1967. Of course beer drinking in Sheffield was always associated ith the hot and dehydrating work in the steel works. I had to move down South for a job and had to make do with southern beer, not the same though, probably due to the water but you get used to anything. Any reference to drinking always makes me think of my wife's Grandad's saying " One's sufficient, two's too many and three's not NEEEEarly enough!". Cheers and all the best.

    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.

    I must agree with you, when you pull a pint it is a truly work of art, and a gastronomic delight. It was such a pleasure to be invited into your pub and sup a pint or two with you.

    I was randomly suggested this video by TH-cam and ironically I currently work as an Electrician/Patrolman in Substations and HV transmission lines except I'm from Texas, in the USA . The Power industry is certainly not the place to show up hungover or drunk. Although I have many times drank far too much, especially when I was I the Navy , as I've gotten into my 30's Ive realized that less is more. I really like you bar, and your cask beer tap. Cheers

    • @patrickdickinson6492

      Great to hear from a fellow power worker, I probably mentioned I spent 40 years as a Engineer, had some great times and worked with some great lads, a lot of us starting together at 16. Also so tough times when storms hit and you hardly slept for a week, but we'll compensated money wise. We all liked a drink and it has sort of kept us together...... all the best Pat
