And then again, one of the top video bloggers in the world...

What makes Peter Oakley (a.k.a. geriatric1927) a 80 y.o. Brit pensioner so special to have so many people subscribed to his youtube blog ? I really don't know, like most old people he enjoys talking about his past, he does have insights and is modest enough as to not take himself too seriously. He could be my grandad or anyone Else's, but i think he's more approachable then most... maybe not even that.

I do take interest in him because he gives me a a window into a very different environment with allot of life experience and is very summarized as to not bore me with the more boring parts of his life.

Anyways i do enjoy him and hope others will too, maybe he should be an inspiration to other pensioners on how to transfer their experience and knowledge to the younger generations.

Peter was also a part of "The Zimmers" (wiki) - British band, and thought to have the oldest members in the world:[1] the lead singer, Alf, is 90, and the oldest member, Buster, is 100. They take their name from the Zimmer frame (the British name for a walking frame).

The band was created as a feature in a BBC television documentary, which was first broadcast on 28 May 2007.[2] The feature of forming the band and recording a single was intended to give a voice to the feelings of isolation and imprisonment suffered by the elderly.
