Enjoyed the program, keep on doing what you are doing as you seem a good egg pal.
CZcams needs more Alfie. Hopfully see more soon.
Keep doing you Alfie. Amazing stuff.
Hope your doing well Alfie I've subscribed can't wait to see more best of luck from bonny Scotland 🏴
One of the best programs I’ve seen that pal funny as fk aswell but well in👍
This boy is the definition of grafter, hard working, and polite with a good heart and soul. His community are lucky to have him. Well done Alfie
Honestly this guys work ethic is 💯 mate he'd be an amazing employee to have in the right role
If u ever come to Ireland I'll give you a job 👍u are a true grafter
👍
@@jakemcalister7384 I've heard he's also the right employee to have in the right hole 😛 also.
👍
Why is nobody talking about the insane quality of this documentary . Film like. Really motivating to see him.
You can film this kind of quality on an iPhone these days....
I'm 9 minutes in and have already decided that this guy is a LEGEND! What a lovely, kind hearted dude.
Makes me wonder why he isn't a youtuber doing his random jobs earning money from views........seems daft not to
@@weeeeee374Methinks that he's still quite naive in this respect & thus he needs to be shown such things by someone with sufficient knowledge about, & experience with such things...to me, it simply "seems daft not to" help such a wonderful soul in any way that WE can, eh?!
He try he not sitting back living of benefits good luck to Alfie mate he a legend mate
The guys quite genuinely a hard worker just needs a little help and guidance to speed him along. Bless him
@@davebarber9510Spot-on, Dave...if I wasn't 'Down Under' & was instead in Ol' Blighty, then I'd be helping the guy in a freaking heartbeat...such an awesome should upon this lad...cheers mate...Matt.
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.
he reminds me of old fred dibnah ..born in the wrong time..
True and what a young man he is.
He's an inspiration to help a pensioner in the street, pick up litter, care for a relative and all that in between.
@GanjaDan well hes kinda like fred but not even close to freds knowlage ;)
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!
Hear hear!!
True 🙌
👑
I got the tingles at the end. Brilliant!
Are you related to the director of are you the director?
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.
This man is literally the opposite of depression.
Perfect way to explain him 👍
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
Correct rather than banning him from the tip
Keep up the good work Alfie and keep making videos thats where you will make your money
Totally agree....come on you council big wigs....here's the best employee you could ever find for you town!! Get him hired!!
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 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
there more self starter etc now cause this internet bollux made it easy.
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
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.
If my little 4 year old boy grows up to be half the lad Alfie is I'll be happy. You are incredible buddy. xx
Look at the thieving tories and such in government. See the “lord” that scammed tax payer money during covid and is still sitting in the house today
Agreed, I feel the same about my lads
“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!
Spot on! As soon as he said that it got me thinking, that's actually how you should be living your life....good lad is Alfie👍
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 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.
Alfie reminds me of Del Boy from fools and horses, what a character, so unusual these days.
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.
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 !!!!
You do realise this isn’t real😂
@@seymourhundos7986 it’s not real?
@@seymourhundos7986 he’s a real person no actor
@@THABONEZONE yea I realised after watching other vids lol thought it was a skit
@@seymourhundos7986 hes real 😊
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!❤
Documentary makers, take note!
*_No cheeky marimba music!_*
Beautiful sound. Natural pace.
Agreed!
lol, put this on because it was on my feed randomly, thoroughly enjoyed watching and what a top bloke Alfie is! total entrepreneur spirit.
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's friendliness is something I've only ever seen in old movies, top-notch documentary
reminds me of fred dibnah
@@lacossanostra EXACTLY! As soon as he started talking ... . ...
And Guy Marten
@@lacossanostra A Fred Dibnah at heart. A dying breed of man, Simple, Focused, Driven.
that's North England for you..
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.
A proper decent lad, definitely born out of his time, wish there were more young people like Alfie about 👍
This young lad restores my faith in humanity. What a absolutely cracking lad
The world needs more Alfie’s ❤
💯
Salt of the earth, may god bless his soul
Defo
My wife might disagree 😄
@@alfiewilliams273 😂 😂
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 👍
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
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.
From the states here..what does Bloody Mean???
@@tammyhall1008 it’s just another word for “fucking” but less offensive lol
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
What a great guy, with a great attitude, the world needs more people like you Alfie.
Top guy
We need more youngsters like you, what a breath of fresh air.
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 🤣
“Life is shit. But there’s someone always worse off than you”. That line the pure truth. He’s sound and down to earth.
It isn't truth. It is a perspective.
Alfie, I so hope that you are still around running your little business and spreading your happiness wherever you go. You are an amazing bloke and deserve every opportunity that comes your way.
What a guy. Massive respect if more young blokes had the same mindset they’d be a lot happier… you keep going fella
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.rection5906 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😂
"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🙏
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.
This is honestly one of the most heart warming thing I’ve ever seen. What a fantastic young man you are.. the world would be a better place if everyone was a little bit like you lad
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!
Absolutely 💯 he does more for the local community than any council could ever do.
The council are a joke
The council could hire him. 😂
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
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...
Alfie......your #1 fan from America! I can't tell you how much I admire and appreciate you! More people need to follow your lead. Such a genuine and admirable mate. Well done, Alfie!! ♥️
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
GOD BLESS THIS YOUNG KING
Give him a job!!
He could do Vegan delivery 😇
He end up on dragon den he a trier in life mate
What a lad you are Alfie…. Im a lot older than you, but I can honestly say watching you has not only helped me pull my own finger out my arse but I’ve learned so much from your spirit and kindness. Thanks pal … you are a inspiration. All the love to you and your family ❤
It's been a long time coming to find a real documentary to watch. Alfie is a living legend. A hero for todays youths but who will remember him?. I will. Hats off good friend. I wish I meet you one day and help you with your journey
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
What a smashing kid Alfie is, he’s a credit to himself and his family.
The world could do with more like him
@@robovac3557 What the fuck are you on for that to be your take??? Are you an owner of one of the bins?
What a legend. We need a series of Alfie or another documentary
I absolutely love him! We need more of Alfie all over the place!
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!!!
This needs to be at Tribecca or Cannes Film Festival. And Alfies gonna smash it in whatever he does, a CZcams 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.
Alfie. You are THE BUSINESS. Not afraid of hard work and always willing to help. Bless you mate.👍
I’m glad I’ve met you Alfie. You deserve all the praise lad.
Don’t give up on yourself
People like Alfie restore my faith in humanity.
Top job lad!
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
This needs to be a full in SERIES ! Fantastic camera work and editing. 👌🙏
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.
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.
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.
#Alfie Odd Job
Does Alfie have ago-fund-me page, or a Patrion. More important, does the camera man and the editor's, etc.
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!
Alfie is an inspiration. This is the role model we need today.
This guy is so fun to watch. He should have his own show
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

The subject matter, the storytelling, both absolutely perfect.
A true work of art.
When Alfie is the Prime Minister of Britain some day, I won’t be surprised.
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

Your community is lucky to have you bud, what a legend !
What an inspiration & such a kind hearted soul. The world needs more Alfie's.
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!

Fully agree. Also you couldn't make it up with the timing Leonard appeared in the camera. 😂 Felt a bit comical but perfect timing!

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.

Glen I guarantee he has a lot more money than you do
@@glennpittman2253 As long as he's happy it doesn't matter. What do you think he should be doing at 40?
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 👍
Can see him with a battered range rover with wheelie bins hanging off it in a year's time😬😂 definitely got the dibnah about him in many ways!
He reminded me of Fred Donna has well
What a legend. Every town needs an Alfie!
I Watched this lad on CZcams do so many things, and nothing keeps him down keep up the excellent work Alfie
The old lady while painting the fence was a blessing of patience. Stayed outside and was just helping him do a better job lol
The look of confusion on her face when Alfie said he was 'fasting' so he couldn't drink lemonade was priceless!
I don’t think she was that impressed tbh!
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❤

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 😁👍🙏
Definitely some Fred Dibnah in there too.
This post sums up Alfie to a T! Feel like I found a piece of heaven today. Alfie your a legend.
Thanks for an absolutely brilliant documentary! And, Alfie, you've just made my day knowing you are in this world!
Absolute class. Hat’s off to the whole production team as this has been so well made. And Alfie, you’re a grafter with an amazing heart and kind to everyone you come across. Keep up the amazing work as you’re inspiring people.
After seeing Alfie with Edna, the seniors must love him. He actually spends time to talk to them and cares.
If more people were like Alfie, the world would truly be a better place.
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.
@@Xxd_unit_007xX India mate. Those crazy folks don't know nothing of road discipline, they seem to do alright lol.
@Kris Horner its a tandem push iron with a goddamn metal ladder strapped to it and another set of wheels 🤣
@@Xxd_unit_007xX What does the DH stand for in your name ? Could it possibly be " Dick Head"
@@hamhotpocket3788right.. expect they have the most dangerous roads in the world and thousands die every year because of it
Mate that was one of the funniest, heart warming things iv ever watched on CZcams well done lad could watch you all day keep it up 👍🏻
What a GOOD LAD. The world needs more like you.
This young lad deserves all the success in the world. Keep doing what you're doing lad, your time will come.
This is great. Reminds me of Fred Dibnah's show years back. Same work ethic. The world needs more people like this. Well done Alfie 👍
Phenomenal. Best thing I’ve watched in years.
fantastic mate! love your philosophy about not worrying. people can get so serieus these days cheers from across the pond 🇳🇱
