Really sorry your bike was robbed the f**king pr*cks. What a great find with that signature. You were the first one to see it in nearly 70 years. Wish you filmed the rest of it. The way he described his wife was funny and so of it's time. I loved finding stuff like that because it's a little snapshot of history. I did a little Google and found this on a website... "One of my grandfathers was a rural postman in Wales for many, many years. He delivered to remote villages and isolated farmhouse all over his designated patch. He had a little hut several miles from his home where the mail was delivered and where he sorted it. As he was often waiting for a second delivery and it wasn’t worth cycling home and back again, he had a little vegetable garden next to the hut which he could tend whilst waiting. When he retired the GPO calculated how many miles he had cycled in his time with them. They presented him with a special medal and a certificate. It cost twopence-halfpenny or 2 1/2d (1p in current money) to post a letter in the early 1950s. This rose to threepence or 3d in 1957. There were two deliveries a day to households right up until sixteen years ago. Back in my dad’s childhood, there was still a delivery on Christmas Day. You posted your Christmas cards to arrive on the day, the way we do with birthdays. Their family always had Christmas Day on Boxing Day because the 25th was taken up with my grandfather working all day plus two visits to chapel, morning and evening." .... I wonder if he was Bob or if he knew him because it was in the 50s. The postmen used bikes back then, no matter what the weather was. Can you imagine how many miles he did on his push bike?
@@matthewadamsofficial Very true haha. But then again the same could be said about you and Dave because I can'y imagine many women doing or even wanting to do the hard graft that you two put in.
@@MrEvilWasp i think most women work smarter than to put themselves thought a project like this haha! Our first few projects, you just got to get stuck in and get it done.. a bigger pot of cash with an extra pair of hands would help allot.. the only way is up 😁👍🏼
@@matthewadamsofficial lol yep been there many times before. The toughest one wasn't physically exhausting though. I was decorating a mental hospital for military type people on a RAF base on the outskirts of Swindon. It was during the Iraq war in the 80s so there were quite a lot of guys in there who were shell shocked, called PTSD nowadays. There was pretty much constant screaming and booting the doors all day long. There was also a woman in there who had lost her baby and she would just shout "hey where's my baby" all the time, literally without taking a break and bang her head on something in her room. She was locked up pretty much all the time we were there. One day i was on my knees in the corridor painting the skirting and had a little radio on top of the radiator. I had a weird feeling and looked around and she was stood right behind me in her nighty. She had somehow escaped her room. Damn near crapped meself lol. Eight of us were on that hospital. After the first week there were just three of us left because they couldn't cope with the noise and the fear if one of the soldiers managed to break out of their room. You had to be on constant alert with one eye over your shoulder. I thought you were going to have a guy called Kevin coming to do labouring, was he a no show?
@@MrEvilWasp that’s horrifying! I think the pay would have to match the work with that one.. I don’t think I’d have slept properly after that.. I can’t handle jumpy horror films never mind in real life haha! Have you not thought about writing a book, got some good tales to tell haha Yeah Kevin, he’s the removal guy who helped us move the RSJ’s & doors from Wigan to Anglesey :)
Channel name and style seems a bit formal if your after clicks and need to be clever with video naming - something like “Welsh cottage renovation on the Isle of Anglesey”. Maybe focus more of the Anglesea renovation and aim to do regular renovations of cottages or dwellings in picturesque rural locations. More shots of area be good too. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the input, time plays a massive factor with filming better content.. recording is a full time job within itself, just trying to document the best I can as this building project is taking over my life at the moment..
@@matthewadamsofficial yeah must be tricky . Just going for catchy titles is easy thou as is changing channel name. Depends what you want though I suppose.
