Alfie the "TWAT"

[Moodyman]

No...this is not a rude word.

It stands for Tandem With A Trailer.

It's short BBC film about an 18 year old boy/man, who, after successive failed jobs goes into self employment doing odd jobs. His bicycle and trailer are both his tools and transport.

It's both funny and sad.

Good on him!

He seems like a decent bloke with plenty of determination and motivation. I hope he does well for himself.

Sounds like Guy Martin. Are they from the same town?

Seems a good industrious lad who is getting on his bike to get work.

Wonder if he needs a commercial waste license?

 

[gavroche]

The world needs people like him. Good luck lad.

I like this sutble mockumentary comedy that BBC3 does so well. Perhaps a series in the offing?

Agree, though I fear the film-makers are being clever-clever taking the P. Shoreditch twats?

I'm not sure where the "p" is being taken?

 

[Blue Hills]

Doesn't exactly act as an ad for his handling skills of the bike and the stuff he is transporting for folk. Some serious editing of footage gone on.

All the best alfie. May see you around.

 

[Hitchington]

Pssst, I think it's not real.

Pssst, I think it's not real.

Now what would make you think that?

Are you real?

There was a photo in a national newspaper,where it looks like he is pulling a very large sofa,but it is massive,and i thought i bet motorists down some narrow streets will love that.

 

[Blue Hills]

Was there a picture of Hitchington with him? Claims to be in "that london" but s/he may get out and about.

Pssst, I think it's not real.

Most motorists pull an empty sofa about with them every day!
