Telling it like it is, thats Pete Waterman. I salute you sir.
Disagree with him about HS2!
Pete Waterman, brilliant bloke, talks more sense than any politician
Pete Waterman is a rock of good sense. Straight talker that we need to hear more from. Well done again Nigel.
Someone who actually has done other things In their life, and has great stories to tell. And let's off a bit of steam now and again.
I love a great discussion without the people getting upset. Great program
Its what most of us do or did. Social media makes us thinks we have to agree or hate. They both have strong views but you can see open minds in action. But not straw minds. lovely to see.
Pete Waterman only two words to say about him ... Top man.
One of the best pub chats yet. Peter is a legend and inspiration. Nice one Nigel!
A man of passion, a man of vision, a man of money. He can even read and write now! Self motivated winner!
Great interview, Pete is an icon of music and a train buff, more people should use the trains and leave their cars at home to go to work, whether it's London, Manchester or Newcastle. Never seen a duff Talking Pints yet, brilliant Nigel 👍!!
@@teamdoa
Yes AndyPandy you're right, for some people living in remote areas or nowhere near a train station, they have no choice on whether to use the train or not. However, for the majority of people that's a non-issue, they can take a train, no hours of queuing on the motorways, no parking problems, can work on the trains with laptops, many advantages 👍!!
Please get him back that was great!
I'm from the west Midlands and love pete Waterman! 😊👍he makes more sense than any politician!
Pete Waterman brilliant lad, finally a talking pints that offers a real debate well done both.
We would love to travel to London by train to see our son, it is just too bloody expensive.
Get a speed boat.
So you use a car and judge the cost by the cost of petrol rather than the real cost per mile including depreciation, service, tyres etc.?
All while happily polluting those areas you drive past.
And no I am no climate warrior but I do know which is less damaging to our climate.
@@1chish I judge the cost by how much money I have in my bank account, it is nice when people who are free and able to spend money without consequence lecture others.
Edit: I have been to see him three times in four years, bloody hell I am a great polluter, if trains were not as expensive it might have been more.
@@elwoodbluesmorris2120 Don't get on your high horse with me I am OAP so know better than you how tight cash can be. I cannot afford a car any longer but used to run one when I worked so know the real costs.
Now you said you can't afford train travel and refer to whats in your bank. But I was just pointing out that the cost of petrol (or diesel) is NOT the real cost. The RAC indicate a cost per mile at some £0.667p. So a 100 mile trip will actually cost £66.7p NOT the cost of petrol.
Maybe you should do another calculation? Or maybe buy a discount rail card?
@@1chish Well if what you say is true, you should try understanding instead of criticism, especially when you know absolutely nothing about my financial condition, hypocrite.
Could have listened to another hour of that discussion. 👍
Agreed, the interview was too short, but I really enjoyed it.
You can't beat a good train journey.
Pete Waterman so good to see you again …Well said Sir ..just talking sense is rare these days .regards from Manchester..
Pete, you are soo interesting..and you talk about lots of honesty...
Love to.us all.
Kind of you Nigel to bring in Mr Waterman.
I could listen for hours.
Could listen to Pete all day long about anything he likes to talk about speaks such sense and his passion for railways is contagious. Want to know anything about pop music he’s your man
Great guy still grounded could do with more like him
Stock aitken waterman wrote and produced some of the best music. Never really worked with established artists except Donna Summer and Sir Cliff. My music collection has many SAW songs. Thanks Pete. Give me a time machine to go back.
😂😂 Kyle & Jason world beaters
I remember in the early 90's coming home from nights out and watching Michaela Strachan and Pete Waterman on 'The Hitman and Her'. Also the cookery programme 'Get Stuffed!'.
Great days.
Yeah it was good crack mate
One of them was defo popping something
😂😂Thank god Acid house & Raves came along
A very good debate, I'm still on the side of firage, but by God I love waterman passion and (despite the current woke agenda) his open-mindedness to have a decent talk about issues
The real purpose of HS2 is capacity - the west and east cost mainlines are absolutely RAMMED to capacity, not with people but with trains, having to mix a 60mph freight with 125mph passenger creates substantial issues operationally.
The idea should be turfing long distance express services which aren't stopping on to HS2 to basically open the taps wide open and let the thing fly, leaving more room for container trains etc doing 60mph to mix it up with 100mph regional service so the disparity is only 40mph on a route which already has slow and fast lines.
Pete is right, the railway network is Victorian, the difference being they would tunnel under a whole mountain inside a month or so, now it would take them 3 years!!
At last someone who gets it! I wish Pete had made that point rather than get drawn into the zero sum game of '35 minutes saved to Crewe'.
absolutely SPOT on
Well said.
Yet again, far too short, I could listen to Pete Waterman for an hour
That was REAL talking and so enjoyable to listen to.......
Maybe because I'm not a Brit that I don't know the name Peter Waterman. Clearly though he's a top bloke. This was such an enjoyable interview because I sensed that Nigel wasn't 100% in agreement with Mr. Waterman and yet it was all very nice and polite over a drink. More please.
I doubt waterman is a very well known name.
Deffos Top booke if Farage disagrees with him
Rick Ashley never going to give you up. His company signed, wrote, produced like Motown like a house of music. Had 100's of hits in the 80s and invented pop idol precursor to xfactor
He worked on Popstars in 1999/2000, he was a judge on Popstars: The Rivals, he was a judge on Pop Idol and he’s helped Simon Cowell’s career, he was a r
@@handsoffmycactus2958 Thanks for that mate. Much appreciated.
Loved that. Lot of time for PW, says it as it is, And Nigel came across in a different light too, you always get the best out of a guest if you’ve done your homework and show a genuine appreciation. Exactly what NIgel did, well done.
Peter has a good point: funding emotions rather than infrastructure is dimwitted.
Great, thank you Pete (love your model railways!). Cheap tickets then travel by LUMO.
From 2022 Onwards -
Love Pete top man!
The best one yet! The Hit man and Her from Tokyo Joes in Preston .... I was there! These Talking Pints segments are still far to short - Give us an hour Nige! 🙏🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
The trouble with trains is, they never go from where I am to where I want to go.
It's because they have to keep to the tracks !
That was the trouble with the Titfield Thunderbolt.
There were many tracks before the Tories cut them under Beaching in the 1960s to give their pals in the road lobby a financial boost
AT LAST !! something totaly entertaing in this world gone down the bog.
What a fantastic interview. Very refreshing indeed 👍
Brilliant guest
Brilliant interview. No agenda from Nigel or Pete just good open debate and acceptance of right to hold a different views.
No agenda? Are you deaf?
@@ivorsmith3999 Quiet the opposite, I listen to everything, not just the bits I want to hear. Pete was given time to speak and put his views across, he was not interrupted. As a viewer I time to consider both sides of the HS2 debate. Just because someone has a point of view that is different to your own does not mean they have a hidden agenda.
@@binmanblog I said agenda, not hidden agenda. Farage doesn't hide his agenda, I'll give him that. But God knows what he would do if he ever gets into power. A second Thatcher maybe...
Talking pints, the best 15 minutes viewing anywhere today.
At last somebody puts Nigel in his place...well done Pete.
Proper railway man is Peter.
Yeah, Waterman shouts a good argument because he talks a load of bollocks.
Pete Waterman has inflicted many cruel crimes on us all with his Music contracts which should never be spoken about again but on the Positive side he is a quality guy with a lot of life experience and common sense
Woar Nigel.
Much love ❤
Love waterman, and his music
Please listen to him; I wasn't going to but I'm glad I did.
I think Peter likes hs2 simply because he likes trains.
I've got an interest in trucks but I still hate to see , British green belt covered over buy motorways and bypasses !
, Present trains can't even beat 1984 record , diverting 26 other trains.125 m.p.h trains averaging only 103 m.p.h.
Public transport is too expensive, unreliable, and don’t go where you need to go. Plus the HS2 will be used to transport these immigrants from south to north faster. Out of sight out of mind.
Trains are far too expensive now in comparison, and there is often too much first class capacity and emphasis on PRE booking to get the best prices.
Exactly chewy. These people, that tool is an absolute scumbag.
He has no remorse for what he did to rotherham.
@@philmills4473 Rotherham should have a train to London, Manchester and Birmingham. It's so sad. I live in Leeds and there's no train to Heathrow Airport from here which is ridiculous and Leeds Bradford Airport has no railway station to Leeds and Bradford. There should be a LBA to Bradford Forster Sq Station 🚉 Train and one to The Northeast via Leeds.
@@philmills4473 So what did Pete Waterman to Rotherham?
the west midlands.. greatest county in space.. the home of legends
I love taking trains 🚆 😌 ☺ 🤗 so I support HS2 and I also think Leeds Bradford Airport should be expanded and have a train station built next to it and have trains to Leeds & Bradford Forster Sq Station.
This is a cool segment, two legends debating the news while drinking a pint.
Yeah that’s kind of the point
I am 74 and Neither can I understand why so many drive and are obsessed by cars now! I travelled by train and bus until the mid 70s.
two top blokes
If you build it they will come
Great chat and far too short. I'm six years older then Pete but share his views about the Railways. Dr Beeching destroyed the British rail system because the government had put its eggs in the car market. Thereafter it was a continuous increase in fares and decrease in reliability and service frequency . For years I travelled to work by train and witnessed the reduction of passenger numbers , and formed in my mind what I called the BR syndrome . The more passengers that are lost the more they charge the few remainin g. Eventually I had to get a car because the rail service had became a joke . The last time that I was in Phoenix Arizona about 6 years ago ,staying at Scotsdale you could still catch a bus after midnight , and people used it. What FU this country was unions , and during my working life was a member of four of them , a waste of money .
Mr. Farage , Support UKIP s Referendum on Immigratio.
What a brilliant interview
I'm pretty sure HS2 is about more than saving some journey time, that's not the entire picture as you'll be on a brand new train, from a brand new station on a brand new line with up to date tech, people from architects to staff and many more in between will get secure short and long term jobs and the old lines will also get a chance to relax a bit and hear themselves creek. The pro arguments are strong and have substance, HS2 is breath taking on some levels, dynamic on other levels, it fits in with the greats like Brunel and Stevenson, the anti brigade limp points range from the bizarre to the ridiculous, fits in with a handbag and those who were actually concerned already played a constructive part in the planning ... cheers
Loved his music through the 80's, Kylie etc etc...
Great man is Peter Waterman.
Without HS2 what is going to happen with all the containers? Out them on an already over crowded and under staffed road system? Of course HS2 is needed and the sooner the better.
Amazing sample for society....
Self made man and living legend
While you Remoaners are complaining about every little hic-up of Brexit that comes up in the news, us patriotic Brexit supporting farmers and fishermen and us courageous carworker Brexiteers in Swindon are reaping the fantastic success of our glorious Brexit. Why can't you just let us wallow in our happiness that we won and that you lost. Get over it Remoaners.
They are not hiccups, they are vomit-fests.
Name one fantastic success that can be attributed to brexit.
Please try to avoid the rising wages/vacancies , booming economy , fastest vaccine roll out nonsense.
Thanks for the shortages, higher prices
Peter is right
Don't want people in Leeds getting on the train and telling people the truth
I'm a great fan of Pete's being a steam fanatic myself but I'm afraid you have to be rich to travel by train! BEFORE 9.30AM.
Can someone tell me how many free tickets my hard earned taxes are Goin to buy me?
because I can't afford to travel to work by train so WHY do I have money taken from me for subsidies for people that can.
Bet he gets his expenses paid
@@kerryshaw846 Reckon you're spot on there! He may well get free train travel as he used to be a railway worker! anyways he's not paying either way!
He’s right you know. Every £ spent in infrastructure creates many many jobs and wealth for well over a hundred years.
I get the stuff about all the talk of passenger railways but what I don't understand is how people can ignore how freight trains take so many thousands of lorries off the road, surely that's important?
loved it
Goodness me. What a stimulating conversation between two straight talkers.
Top bloke
I think the point of HS2 is rather than improving high speed trains, it's about taking high speed trains off the local routes in order to provide more local trains.
I couldn't stand, Pete&Co's, productions.That's a personal
opinion! What a great, bloke, though.straight, & to the,
point, just like our, Nigel!!
WELL IF THE PEOPLE UP NORTH DON'T WANT IT.... THEY SHOULD'NT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.. LET THE SOUTH PAY ALL THOSE BILLIANS.....
Pete smashed it in the 80s respect
Because England stops at the north midlands......
Another great interview Nigel but it was JUST TOO SHORT.........AGAIN.
Had a laugh remembering the 7 pint tins of Watneys Red Barrel the most horrible chemical masquerading as beer. 🤮
Does anyone remember 'Brew Ten' ?
What we need now is Pre-Election Contracts of Employment for MP Candidates Twixt The Voting Public and those later MPs who should be serving us and not Dictating To us. We need to get them under our Control Where they belong - Public Servants not Tyrants as they are now
If you didn’t know this dude, you’d swear the only band he ever produced was bananarama!😂
We Miss Pete
Talk about a highly priced but poor administrators.
be nice if investment could be put into the North. The North has been ignored for too long
I've never owned a car and I never want to own a car. I would travel by train if two things were fixed - 1) the high fares and 2) overcrowded trains!
Pete Waterman wrote a song that scored nul points at Eurovision. Legend!
That sounds good to me
I am not against upgrading the railways, but this HS2 is totally the wrong way to do it! The only way it should have been done is by Mono-rail Magalev systems, as the Japanese have had for decades! They are faster and can be taken overland without tunneling. and raised over agricultural land on pillars!
This interview never went how you wanted it to go
As much as I detest Farage's politics this was a good interview. I have to agree with him that HS2 will suck people and business to London. Early on it was described as a commuter service for rich people, and I have to agree this is what it will become. If Boris is serious about levelling up, he and subsequent governments, he will have to discourage businesses from doing so be it through tax or subsidy in order to base themselves in the north.
I agree, rich politicians and the like will be able to buy up houses in the country, pushing up the prices there too. Will ruin the countryside though motorways have done a good job of that.
thats some sorry looking beer
Pete says he is a fan of public transport and doesn't need to drive. While I am a supporter of public transport and think it should get more investment I would like to see how he manages getting on to a bus after doing the big shop at the local super market with 4 big bags of shopping.
Where I live public transport stops at 6pm. The train stops at 9.00pm, need a bus to get to the train.
Where I grew up the public transport was not good. Nearest bus stop was 3 miles away (along with the village) and the nearest train station was 5 miles away. So you needed your own transport.
I think the railways in the North struggle now, the idea of getting here quicker is pointless, unless your just visiting Leeds station. 🇬🇧
A densely populated country means more cars in a small country .With regret,public transport has to be used .
Is that Beer..??? "Tetley's Mild or "Tetley's tea bags...looks like cold piss........
Top man you should have made the interview longer .
Sceptical is the right word for the COP 26 spectacle...
Great argument boys
East Midlands and Yorkshire don't want to work with the Tories.
I like Pete. Proper geezer. 👍
i like waterman but hate his opinion on HS2
Why the hell would you want HS2 in the north? I'd want London to be as far away as possible. Don't blame them one bit for being apathetic.
Farage always seems like a perfectly decent bloke to me - probably why he didn‘t succeed in politics*. Yet if I said this in my area of Oxford, I‘d be shouted down by so-callled liberals who think he‘s seething with hatred. Because the Guardian tells the, to think that, for Christ‘s sake
* compare with Corbyn or Bercow
You got me in two minds now.. do I watch Panorama or Bananarama ?
Well the answer to why people drive cars is pretty simple - they get you from where you are to where you want to be whenever you want, in comfort and safety. By contrast, trains outside London and a few other big cities, are dirty, noisy, often overcrowded and in many cases - simply non existent.
When did you use one last
