*TiA Part 1 4,700 people E-Mailed him prior to the making of this video, The relisation of his popularity sets in. born in 1927 young life spent when world II was happening. At the age of 11 "they" decided to ithor further educate you or throw you out at the age of 14, he went on to learn things like latin. He loves motercycles. Tears up at the end.

*TiA Part 2 Peter explains how he left school and looked for a job. His mother bought him an expensive new suit with 'a year's worth' of ration vouchers, and got a job in a local government office in the public health department. During this time he underwent training, and was unhappy that he had to return to a nightschool. Peter explains about not being able to use his motorcycle as much as he would like, because petrol was very highly rationed, and when he did get any petrol vouchers (admitting it was 'probably dodgy'), all the signs had been removed. He was conscripted to the army soon after, and explains that it was a gruelling experience, where 'your brain is scrambled' and you are changed 'from a boy to a man in six weeks'. He explains that he wasn't a soldier on the front lines, but (worked with?) radars, still in the country. Old m 16:32, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Managed to get a business selling motorbikes after working in the industry. Ben 20:21, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

*TiA Part 4 His motorbike business was a good success, and married his wife six months after his business was set up. Frist child (daughter) year after marriage, second (son) 1 1/2 years after that. One of his friends sold him his (profitable) business, which allowed him to move into a town with good facilities. 10 years on Peter and his wife fostered a disabled four year old. He developed a liver problem, and sold his less profitable business and left the managment to someone he trusted. Peter's wife died in '97. Ben 20:40, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Old M; could you add details for TiA part 1 & 2 and we can decide what to add to the wiki

And he says quite clearly in one of his videos that he is 79. My guess is the profile is out of date. Perhaps we should just include the discrepancy in the article at this point? --Siradia 18:40, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I reckon the profile is out of date. I figure it is best to state his age as 79 for the moment because he stated he was 79 quite clearly in one video. --Haplo7 19:37, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Official Website Discussion

Argent009 08:20, 18 September 2006 (UTC)Whoever is editing the entry for askgeriatric.com to say he has no control over the site, stop it now, you are a bold faced liar. That is Peter's official website and he has complete control over it. I am Michael, his friend who set it up for him, none of you have any knowledge of this situation so quit your nonsense. If it's edited again I will report it.[reply]

Reply:First off, please sign your comments with ~~~~, so that we know who you are. Secondly, we can not use Wikipedia talk pages as a reliable source for such a claim. Thirdly, you cant report someone removing unsourced information, because Wikipedia policy clearly shows that you can do such a thing. It would be worth reading up on the main policies of Wikipedia (WP:V, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR) before threatening someone on here again. Remy B 03:09, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Argent009 08:20, 18 September 2006 (UTC)1. I do not do wikipedia that much so I don't know all the commands and formatting conventions. 2. You can verify who I am simply by GOING to the website or viewing any of Geriatric1927's latest videos, #REDIRECT[[1]] he mentions me plenty. 3. I am Argent009, view me on YouTube, what other proof could anyone need? Peter himself tells you who I am and that this is his official website. I think any more proof would be redundant, how can their be a more reliable source than the man himself? So, again I state, do not change that entry or I will report the violation to Wikipedia, simple as that.[reply]
