How true, so true... instead, we are left with an absence of values... a void where values once ruled.

Very true, its a lost place now folks are afraid to be British!! Fred was amazing man lived for the moment

You can find more on your British version of KZfaq us American limit the trash on here

Was a Knighthood ever brought before the Queen? I would think he deserved it very much so. He brought so much to the people there and abroad about the rich history of England and in turn the industrial age concepts exported to the world.Showed the beauty in his steam engines. He showed how it was done before our push button world came about. So much of the history we get is about your earlier history and the Blitz. Im from Alabama US but know a kinsman of mine on my dads side. Was with William. The Conqueror in 1066. Our name is written in several documents of the time including the Doomsday book. A Steele Abby and road was still there though that info was a letter a family member there wrote my Great Aunt in the 60s so idk if it so now. This man brought pride to the nation and let us all feel that pride in his every word. I only wish I knew more. He is in the top 5 people id loved to have met and I know so little. The turn out at his funeral spoke volumes about this man. One fello brought the wagon his coffin rode on some 200 plus miles another came from the Isle of man. A place I want to see before they ban the TT and they will one day. As Fred Dibnah hit the nail on the head about the state of many of the folks today SOFT and a large portion of them run things, On both sides of the pond

@@goingfarwebb26 no they’re not. Stop getting angry over things you’re making up in your own head!

19 dislikes just now. Who the hell are these people? Sorry, what the hell are these people?

26 dislikes now from people who aint filthy mouth breathing poms.

Health & safety officers I presume

They all knew what they were getting in to.

He was British?

You are so lucky. That sounds like the experience of a life time.

Fake

@gregcuntofaman..... You fucking bitter prick of a man. Clearly,you can top the previous fellas story eh you mug??? No of course not,so you troll people's messages bringing abit of joy. What a c++t you are. C++t.

You fucked him??

Not so simple, he was an expert in his field, like life long learning.

While Fred's sons are still here there will be men like Fred left,they are cut from the same cloth,also go to any steam show or gathering you will see many clones of Fred there.

There isn't anymore

Sadly they are a dying breed in these days, if any actually still exists 😥

It still has a few. The group working for the Cumbres, & Toltec scenic railway in southern Colorado rebuild steam locomotives using original tools, and techniques as their forefathers did. Amazing stuff I promise you.

Oh it does. Im born in 1980s and can fix anything, climb huge structures, and perscribe to a simpler life. Yet i do see the romance in the smaller world. Too many humans too much greed not enough honor. Though some of us still believe in honor and doing it yourself

It does,Fred's two sons are enthusiasts and work in the steam world,Jack, I believe works on the Isle of Man steam railway.

his biography is a lovely read . I found a copy in a second - hand store.. I reading it ..slowly cos I don't want it to end. happy- new year from Canterbury U.K. .x.

We're still here pal

Who's fred ??? Watch the documentary ?.

@@craigmcdonald4988 have just discovered this man and I am extremely disappointed to hear this. I have an extremely hard time figuring out how to navigate the admiration for a knowable determined hard worker, while being supportive of people of all sexes and races. It seems you have decided that he was entirely negative in his being and existence. Do you really feel he was irredeemable as a person,

Ha. BBC America is like that. Star Trek: TNG and three different Gordon Ramsey shows. TV stinks.

I love it, presenting for BBC and hands are still stained black

Glad to hear, we need more labours.

I like to think he's up in The Great Beyond with Oliver Reed & having one HELL of a shindig! 🎶🎶🎶

@@lukespector5550 Mindless dweeb. But as the married widow drowned, the propane tank sang to the porpoise. When the helicopter proposed lunch, the propeller saw the midnight daylight yesterday at you. Laughingly, the robin gasped, while moonbeams ate marshmallows inside the deer. Aware of pencils, aroma heard floor tiles selling whales. Branded as lost is the umbrella, as it elopes at tires.

Absolutely, to climb those ladders and then hammer brick all day takes some serious stamina.

​@@mikewest712 With a cigarette hanging from his mouth ! Unbelievable. Proper old school character

​@@mikewest712Fred needs no stamina, only a couple of pints!

Amazing considering he was carrying those huge balls of steel too ;-)

Darren Ross hehe its those huge balls that would make climbing back down difficult

That had better be Guinness in that glass, for dear ol' Fred. ;)

Smart, practical and daring. I wonder if he ever realised what a unique character he was.

Stephen Middleton I once asked a work colleague what was the difference between OBE & MBE I was told that OBE was Others Bl**dy Efforts whereas MBE was My Bl**dy Efforts. Fred definitely deserved the MBE !

Great ambassador for Bolton and a marvellous guy.

***** people have more opportunity now than ever before in my opinion .

***** wake up to the real world " my flawed opinion" = your ignorance . Education has changed for the better meaning lower classes can now attend and receive better educations . It's so called Great Britain that is Flawed as you put it .

***** I understand what you are saying but an education is better than no education , the world is now a smaller place than it was back in Freds time , anyone can now travel to anywhere in the world and work . No corporate company can break a persons sprit to survive and strive in life only one can do it to themselves . Unfortunately education is a business like most religions . Sheeple will always exist .

People have too many choices to handle. Too many forgot that you have to work to gain something, the free market proclaims endless consumption at once... pay later. I believe we all in our so called "developed World" are gonna pay a terrible price for it.

+Silas Lang True, but most simply don't take or even appreciate those opportunities, unfortunately.

cant agree more

Stop whining and change it then

Top man hard like my dad and my grandad we are all brought up like that RIP fred

Should shown them during lockdown to show the young how a man made his money.

Fields on KZfaq spot on.

@Taipan Tails Farfrom,this kind of work has come to a end, but what I am saying is instead of todays kids vandalising anything and everything in sight, they should be shown that sort of thing and think themselves lucky, they might also learn somthing

If you're quick, there's a few days before the last episode of Fred Dibnah's Made in Britain expires on the BBC iPlayer. That's the episode that includes Fred receiving his MBE from the Queen. The full series of Fred Dibnah's World of Steam, Steel and Stone is also available on the iPlayer - the first episode will expire in 4 days, the last one in 29 days. Enjoy!

its called technology. the generation before him would have said the exact same about him.

Who cares about opinion of drunk labour? 😅😂😂

God has a good sense of humour.

Do things best practical and animate young folk for it. The new generation needs good examples/models to stand a chance to carry a heritage on!! For doing so you need to cross the border of red tapes sometimes.... do it with full responsibility - not everything proclaimed right is actually right.

Since nobody in the past 8 years has commented on this comment complaining about the blatant virtue signaling I shall conduct a test for the people who have no proof of the situation and they say they don’t want them in there
