My father John Jackson passed away on the 4th January 2021 x thank you to everyone for their kind comments, bless you all ❤️
I hope this comment is seen and pinned. The world would definitely be a better place if it was filled with John Jackson’s.
R.I.P 🖤
@@jlue1993 thank you so much for your kindness, I really appreciate your kind words
Many thanks mate
Back with his beautiful wife ❤️😥
I was just about to leave a comment about how precious he is then I saw your comment. He must have been the sweetest dad
@@thespiritfont2023 thank you so much, yes he was very precious, very kind of you
John already had something that money can never buy.
Well said!
Pendulous Testicles.
Yeah, you need a prescription for what he has :) He is top lad tho.
Well said sir
Yeah you could see his wife loved him and his family and friends he is like my grandad he deid a poor man with a lot of people at his funeral all crying and laugjing
People like him are a dying breed, give him 80k just for his character, what a great genuine bloke.
Jesse Bella lol unfortunately business doesn’t work that way but this mans class
I would of done
You said it man , if I had money I would have given it to him just for his positive vibe
Sometimes people invest in something that they aren't really sure on. Even the dragons do it sometimes and call it a punt. To be honest I could see this being a success on those late night infomercials. It's the exact kind of thing they push even QVC would love this product.
Too true great comment ❤️👍
He didn't leave with nothing, he left with my respect.
Yatoat And mine, a pure diamond!
Double like 👍
Mine too 👍
That is still nothing lmao
F
This is brilliant, can’t fault him one bit just a nice genuine honest bloke doing what makes him happy
Absolute credit
John may have left with nothing but John left something behind. Smiles.
Nope, he get publicity and now the company know where to buy the patent for that product
I wanna give this guy the biggest hug.
Weirdo
Cloud ffvii PKP you internet trolls get weirder by the day
@@rossjay7277 Oh damn you're so superior, edgy and tough.... Disliking human emotion and love really makes you so cool.
ZedX there is something called *consent*
Harleyk2795 There’s something called acting out on a desire versus asking first or not doing it at all. There’s also something called my giant towering middle finger :D
Thank you so much for your kindness x I've been telling dad people remember him for his appearance on dragons den x he sends love to all ❤️, thank you
well wishes
Please convey my regards to him 🙏...I lost my job during this pandemic and was feeling low...Your Dad taught me that no matter what we should always smile and be positive.
@@asifparkar31 thank you so much, I hope you are well and I'm so happy my fathers energy had a positive effect on you, my father died on the 4th January 2021, thank you for your kindness
Danny , just to offer my condolences to you and your family. Smiling as watched this episode with dad on it , such a cheerful character. Did the rotary dryer ever proceed into a business for dad ?
No matter, just love and blessings to you all xxxx
@@phillipaj.5588 Thank you so much for your kindness Phillip, no one would back his invention, he tried many times after his appearance on dragons den to find a backer, he was just proud that he made it for my mum, and he enjoyed me reading to him all the wonderful comments people wrote about him
Thanks again x
Aaaw, he made it for his dead wife when she was alive and it made her happy. That's lovely that is. What a top geeza.
Everyone’s dream grandfather.
Until you realise he was the guy who killed his wife... *eastenders theme tune*
@@thedunyadoneya2628 looll brilliant
@Paul Osc Slots cheers Paul glad my father has a resemblance to your grandfather
@Paul Osc Slots my dad's family originated from the east end on his mum's side,.. Dad is a genuine hilarious man, he always has been, I've been overwhelmed by the wonderful things people have said about my father & looking for a flyover for the sick people who commented haha...
@Paul Osc Slots sorry to hear off your grandfather's passing, all the real generation are almost all gone now
He really is one of the sweetest people on the planet.
What the dragons didn't realise is that in terms of what really counts, John was already richer than all of them put together.
that is what we tell ourselves so that we can imagine we are living some sort of 'better' life than our capitalist oppressors. i respect the sentiment but that is propaganda pushed by the wealthy made to make us not care about money so that the rich can keep it.
This Is why you will be broke and people like us will always have money . You can’t think with your heart . I wud have booted the old man if I heard a pitch like that . God bless capitalism .
Well said
Beautifully Said!
Don Carvalo
I Think Its Clear Who’s Really Broken Here... The Kind Of Broke, Physically One Can Never Fix... For True Death Holds A Bitter End...
He's so adorable. He put a smile on the Dragon's faces
Democratic Lefty Mom...its all Trumps fault right lol
I really liked John Jackson - "I just speak naturally" .. great words of wisdom.
He took the criticisms well, considering the product had an emotional tie to his late wife. Such a nice guy, Peter could learn a lot from him
The way Peter treats people is a disgrace most of the time
@@josephhunter907 why? I've seen alot of dragons den and I have no idea what your talking about 🤷 All "dragons" are heated at times, don't see how he is thre worst
Joseph Hunter Peter can be a little tone deaf at times
Can't help but feel that this guy was indeed the richest of them all in there :)
This bloke is a classic salt of the earth Londoner!
One of the most genuine people they've ever had on, proper old school, shame there's not many about these days
Agreed, a true dying breed.
I could listen to him talk all day! Just give me a snack and some water and a cozy chair and I'd just love to listen to stories about his life. What a sweetheart.
What a lovely man, I hope he made some money from this, maybe not something that would make much money it isn't a bad idea
One thing is certain, he's immortalised on video as a very charming man. His legacy, perhaps, small as it is, but it's a heartwarming 9 minutes.
I Could learn how to install the motor buy the tools and install the motor for much less.
@@Micfri300 I'm sure most people are competent enough to learn from the hundreds of youtube videos that teach these skills. I literally watched a 15 minute video of how to build a bunk bed with no prior knowledge or expirience and finished in an hour and 30 minutes. Especially considering the price of his product
I could see some people buying from him simply because of his personality and story, regardless of whether or not they actually want the thing in the first place haha :).
@@MWK-ph8pl sound like a right jobsworth mate go back to giving people parking tickets.
He reminds me of ' Grandad ' from ' Only fools and horses ' just by his innocence and mannerisms. This episode just made my day 😁
This man is is pure class. Bless his heart. Only thoughts in his head is for somebody else..his wife!! Get im back on the ole telly
A really nice down to earth guy, salt of the earth. RIP
This man is a national treasure I could of watched this pitch for hours, this is as genuine as a person can get.
The dragons's eyes said they like him.
I’ve fallen in love with this fella! Bless his heart, he has a good soul!
All me washin'll go up the bleedin alley wun it. lol
My father John Jackson passed away on the 4th January, thank you for your kindness towards him x
Your must be proud. What a fantastic man. Best wishes to you
@@gazza1196 thanks for the kindness, yes I'm very proud of my dad, always will be,
Thanks mate
Sorry for your loss, Danny. He is so pleasant to watch in this video.
@@psychopony8786 thank you so much jana, he was a pleasure to look after in his old age too 😃
Hearing his sweet-voiced "okay" as they reject him one-by-one... I had to stop the video or I would start bawling in the middle of the office.
So true omg 😭
I actually did have a little cry over how lovely he is!
80 plus years old and still an optimist and innovating and doing new things
Really impressive sir ❤️
I love this guy so much, just loves his wife so much he doesn’t want to let it go. Bravo mate.
The part where he told the dragons to F off in a cockney accent was incredible
It's kind of endearing how during his story about how the invention came to be, he mentions almost like an afterthought that he has a patent - which is usually one of the first question the Dragons ask about any invention.
Peter actually gave advice that would lead to the best possible result for the product. Kudos.
As a young man, I can say that men like John make me proud to be British. The quality of his character could not be bought by the dragons.
Thank you very much for the lovely kind words you have said about my father John Jackson xxx he is very ill now with prostate cancer, god bless all of you xxxxx
And thank you so much for enjoying what I enjoy every day with him xxxx❤️
Danny Jackson, best wishes to your dad. He is by far the richer person and the dragons the poorer for not getting to know him.
How is he doing now? I hope he is well.
@@princesshermione001 my father died on the 4th January 2021, thank you so much for your kindness
Wonderful, the world needs more Johns
He left happier than he was when he entered.
John.... gawd bless.... genuine ol'time Londoner.... sadly now becoming a thing of the past. You have my respect. From a fellow Londoner ♥️👍
Haha, what an absolute diamond geezer. I'll miss guys like him
"the frequencies in my ears is gone" that's the cutest way I've ever heard someone say "I'm goin' deaf"
Theo, casually fanning himself with a thick stack of cash. Oh, to be rich...
Jenny: this is incredible, I will invest every penny I have ever made into this invention
So 1p then?
And then he woke up.
Also Jenny: And for that reason,i'm out.
Meanwhile, in a parallel universe....
3:58, How adorable is his thank you to the question
This generation are gold. Money can't buy their stories and wisdom. What a top bloke.
DOOCUN
😂😂😂
He was one of the most decent and well mannered guy I’ve seen pitch.
A true east end Geezer-- Sadly the salt of the earth are fadeing away!!!!
Bang on there mate
Thank you my friend, my father John Jackson passed away on the 4th January, thank you for your kindness
@@dannyjackson9872 please accecpt my condolances, and of course you miss him as a loved one, but we will NEVER see the like of him again, he was amongst others the backbone of this country, which is now broken----all the best to you "Guv" x
Mr Westie, thanks geezer, yes dad was old skool in his ways, he found everything funny and was as genuine as the day is long, he even thought it was funny that he was dying, he had me in tears of laughter everyday, thank you again mate, God bless ya
I’ve just sat and watched this beautiful talented and sweet man for the very first time. He reminded me of my dad who was only 63 when he died. I wanted to find out how he was today so opened these comments. Made me cry knowing he’d passed. You were very lucky Danny to of had such a wonderful Dad, I’m so sorry for your loss. ❤
His spinny gizmo looks so futuristic and over engineered!😄
One thing that is absolutely irreplaceable and non-transferable from such people is their ability to tell stories. A good businessman MUST be able to tell stories that are captivating.
So refreshing to have a natural personality just ooze out in the cross-examination. If only more were as confident as him to just go for it and be upbeat no matter the outcome...
70 quid is cheaper than a tumble dryer and this product looks like something that would be good for the environment that all the kids are banging about
What a breath of fresh dragon air this man is : )
What a great man. Not sure I've heard a better story teller
It's one of the few inventions that still works even if the motor doesn't, which is more than I can say about my dryer. lol
The guy had a wife he adored and the admiration of the Dragons.. Well played sir
Bless his soul! If I was a millionaire I’ll just invest for the sake of his story
What a sweet, sweet man. I want to give him a big hug
Wish more people today were like this guy, what a diamond geezer.
Such a vibrant and precious being he is!
They should have asked where the 80K is going. They could have got him in contact with cheaper manufacturers. They could have done something.
John is the emotional support I need in a man
Keep smiling sweetie, my father John Jackson always told me to just keep smiling x
are you still available? seems women just want someone to look cute in their social media, take to social events, and pay for stuff.
Crying watching this. A good genuine man
"If i get anyone, it'll be Peter, Debra, Theo... I was not to sure about you Jenny."
Ah mate, always be yourself. Absolutely lovely... respect
Poor old guy: "My wife died"
Theo: talks about his own wife
The old guy was talking about what he did for her when she was alive.
I think it's actually a great idea, especially since I hang dry clothes, he's 100% right that it takes forever. That would be something I would definitely want.
🎉
We need SO MANY MORE ppl like this guy
I will invest all of my savings into him because he’s so cute 😭😂 I would not make a good dragon
Amrita Kaur You never know, helping him might just give you the drive you need to be the best dragon
😭😭😅u made me cry
This dude is straight out of central casting. He’d fit in so many movies that make it over to the US.
He didnt leave with nothing, he left with my heart
You know someone really made an impact when most of the comments are about them and not about Jenny being out
God bless this guy and rest in peace to his wonderful wife. 🍷
best pitch ever on dragon's den
I was on a crunch at work today and having Dragon's Den play in the background as my white noise. When it came to this episode, i had to stop what I was doing because the inventor's story was told in such a way you'd really want to stop and listen! He has a heart of gold, that man, and he may have left empty handed, but I was glad to leave him my respect and time. And to think he made the rotating line in honor of his wife. If that's not love, I do not know what love is.
And Peter's idea isn't so bad, if he could provide the patent to someone competent in the market to sell the product, he may well still be receiving income thru that alone. Bless this man. I'm sure if i'd meet him in real life, I'd have a blast talking to him :)
That product would be good for the elderly or the disabled or the injured especially if it could be lowered or raised depending on the injury or disability.
What a great guy. Salt of the earth. A rare breed.
What a sweet old man. I'm glad they didn't go too hard on him.
What a lovely gentleman seriously love him, bless him 🙏👍✌️wish he was my uncle. You know what was a alright idea. What a nice man 🤗
The guy at the end said John left with nothing, he left with a smile on his face even though he didn’t get an investment
This is one of my favourite segments of the series. So much character comes out! I'm from Canada and we have our own version of Dragons; Den. Though I find our version has more interesting deals being made, with royalties and loans and so forth on the table as well, I find the British version much more appealing because of the character of the dragons on this show, particularly the older series. Also, I think the British version does a better job of conveying a stronger sense of authenticity about the Dragons, rather than the Canadian Dragons constantly being focused on marketing themselves. That's my take!
Proper lovely old boy, just such a genuine character, exhibit a level of household ingenuity lost on most of us these days. His wife had a bit of a problem, he thought of a way to help her, everyones happy as Larry. Taking it forward as a full-on business wasn't likely to happen with the way housing situations have changed in the last couple decades as well as some other little problems, but its just a nice bit of an old man and his shed style tinkering. Good on him.
Seem like such a nice guy I would invest him just off seeing how honest and nice he is.
If he entered the Den in 2019 they would all make him a offer now
Sometimes, I wish people would get offers just for their characters.....💕
Wishing him all the best ❤️
Nicest fella to ever grace the dragons den! Genuinely a nice decent bloke, one of those blokes you could sit and pass hours of time talking to 🙏
I like how he had the last say 😂
What a lovely, lovely man. :) I'd buy one just to help him out.
Has to be the nicest and most charming person to ever enter the den in my view. So refreshing.
What a super genuine old guy ,wonderful .
Best pitch ever! Love him man
In 50 years, there wont be blokes like him
This is such a feel-good pitch 🥺💞
I think they could AT LEAST helped him with his patent or something
What an absolute treasure this man was. John was so warm hearted. Something that's unfortunately rare these days.
Omg; I was really rooting for him what a brilliant guy. Full respect.
What a lovely, lovely bloke. I could listen to him for hours.
This is by far, my favourite pitch!!
I could watch John all day! legend. just a unadulterated LEGEND!
Shame he didn't come on the show later, Jenny would've invested.
B TR lol 😂😂
