My dad lived in a block of flats with a warden and a day centre communal area, the warden is like a manager of about 100 apartments with old people in them. They have their own home, but there's some control to look after them. My dad had the red hanging emergency pull cords which hang to the floor incase you've collapsed but he also had the pendant around his neck with the button on it too. And that's his mum and grandma in the audience.
What Nick says about turning and rubbing batteries, yep still do that with my retro TV for retro console gaming, take the 2 batteries out and swap them, hope they might just get a little bit more juice! lol
Swapping the batteries' positions in the remote is a classic. It's like when you're carrying heavy bags of shopping and you switch arms it suddenly becomes lighter... for a few minutes at least.
Elderly people in the UK usually have emergency alarm cords in all rooms *and* pendants, but often don't wear the pendants, unless they're very frail. :-)
most bathrooms in the uk have the cords hanging from the ceiling to switch on the light - so when you get the emergency cord hanging from the same location and arent aware - sh^t can happen
Years ago my mother wanted some replacement Duracell Batteries. Instead of saying Duracell Batteries, she said Durex Batteries. Oh how we laughed and she wasn't even old.
I worked in supported housing / sheltered housing for 17 years, he's actually spot on, spent my days, untying these cords. Also the neck pendants, and not wear them.
In most pensioners flats or complex they have a person who looks after the residents as a point of first call, he will immediately decide whether it’s an ambulance or jiterally anything else and deal with it accordingly
In the UK a warden in this instance is usually a person who is employed to look after old persons accommodation which could take various forms such as bungalows or flats. They would check on their wards regularly to check they're alright and generally chat with them. They would also probably caretake and maintain the premises or arrange for it to be done. They will be first aid trained and police checked which is known as DBS check (Disclosure and Baring Service). In general warden is an old title and is someone who has a ward or wards. These can be persons, property or things/items.
@@johnwhear9600 yes that's just one type of infection and probably the most common. STD like VD refers to the whole range of things you can get.🍾🥂🥳👍🎉😱🏥💉💊😭
@@davidmarsden9800 Yeah it was a catch all for everything nasty like that.... So many times I heard "Yer no a real man until you've the clap and at least thrice"... Yeah, nah, hard pass for me 🙂
My car went wrong a few years ago the auto electrician Danny came out and I told him my key fob battery needed a new one he took it out and put it in his mouth for a minute and then put it back in talk about above and beyond the call of duty.. it did work.
It can be difficult if you don't get the Northern humour, but I think you did very well. It can sound cruel, but it's not really meant to be. Over here, the victim laughs so everyone is happy. It's a joke.
On the subject of batteries, twice I've had to explain to my parents that you're not supposed to put regular batteries in a device that uses rechargable ones.
*Warden* is etymologically identical to guardian, both terms deriving from the Old French garder which in turn is of Germanic origin, wartēn meaning to watch or protect.
You need to understand George Formby he was a legend when I was 4. He was my first crush. He was not good looking and I absolutely loved him . He wasn't even that good. He was pretty shitty but you should check out George Formby when i-m cleaning windows. The sound of my childhood
😂 I think I'm due for a leathal injection tomorrow its Monday and the Warden comes round to check if you are still alive, we don't do that in the UK they just give tax breaks to the rich and let the old keep doing word searches, good old Torys.Billionaire Sunak😢
You take them from another controller? Who? An air traffic controller? The controller of the BBC? The Fat Controller? Oh, I see... you mean you take them from a *remote control unit.
@@barrymitchell6444 very smart very clever you seen the joke in it yahoooo im not a VIP why are you a VIP I THINK NOT im glad you can live easy now you have a reminder of your life
i love how his mum and grandma go to his shows, he rips on them but he loves his mum and granny more than anything
You're right, that was his grandma 💙
Sat next to his Mum!
Yes, the battery thing, do it every time, amazing how you can squeeze that little bit extra out by rubbing them rapidly between your hands.
Facts 💯
No real need to rub them, it's the heat that raises the voltage.
what you got to realise , there is a genuine warmth behind his humour. He actually respects his elders. a good bolton lad/

Love it! My dad loved the American cop show NYPD Blue, but he kept calling it Nympho Blue. I never laughed so hard.
@@Jinty92 Brilliant 😂😂😂
Yeh that's his folks and he's is utter GOLD
If your in Scotland then they have a fabulous soup called “Cullen Skink” it’s a fish soup. It’s glorious.
Made me chuckle when you said taking batteries out of other things ,like toys etc , ,we've all done it 😁

Warden = Building Supervisor.
I saw Peter live last month and in part of the show he said that his Grandmother has recently past away.
That’s sad
Makes me proud to be from Bolton does Peter Kay he's amazing.
It's funny cause it was genuinely my brother who did the balloon setup for the show. He wasn't happy about Peter calling it out
Years ago my dad would put low batteries in the oven for a few minutes to warm them up, and get a few extra hours use out of them.
That is his grandma and his mum next to her.
Your alright we have yhe alarm round the neck too.Yes it is a nightmare when the grandchildren are little with the long red vords.🙄

I'm not sure, but I think in Great Britain a "warden" is a medical worker. Loving the Peter Kay.

Your reference to VD is long out of date in the UK since I think the late 1970s early 1980s it was officially changed to STD.
@@davidmarsden9800 Worked with a few Brits over the years, it was always 'the clap"... 🙂

The Glen Miller reference would've sailed over. Your google-fu is required.

you mean the battery, right? Or did Danny really go above and beyond
🤣🤣
That's why "video discs" were dropped.

Have to admit I’m one of the battery people hit the remote then open it up rub the battery try them again would’ve been quicker putting new ones in 😂
I rub batteries too lol.

Put batteries in the oven and heat them up. I don't know how safe it is? But you get about another three months out of them. ❤👍🙏

We do have the red button around the neck you can press in an emergency!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wardens check they are okay and don’t need medical assistance

loved the reactions but the batteries thing is so true even i do it rub them turn them and then take batteries from another controller
That's great. You've been an inspiration. We can all be happy for the remainder of our lives knowing that.
You take them from another controller? Who? An air traffic controller? The controller of the BBC? The Fat Controller?
