#
Yeah I pushed one down and the other one down #
In the machine . #
I saw it actually when I was just doing it and it went how loud it was . #
How could you be unobtru but it isn't look . #
Can't hear it . #
Cos you can hear it bzzzzzzzzzzz #
I thought loud . #
Yeah . #
You could be an ob an obtrusive making that noise . #
Though it doesn't make a noise cos I was doing it wrong . #
Yeah . #
That's it . #
Mm Don't stop talking now . #
silly . #
It's all gonna go quiet now isn't it ? #
Nobody else'll say anything . #
That's ridiculous ! #
You gotta #
Yeah . #
Mm . #
Yeah well it sounds ever so funny when you hear it #
Horrible . #
You think I don't sound like that ! #
. Really makes you think . #
I wish done something about my the way I speak . #
Mine's terrible because I've got a low voice , a deep voice anyway . #
Sound more like a man I do . #
I do on the phone don't I ? #
Used to telephone didn't you ? #
Didn't know it was me . #
People have told me on the phone that I sound cos I've got a deep voice I #
Does she ? #
What , her voice is different ? #
Or does she talk different because she's on the phone ? #
Some people do . #
They put their phone voice on . #
Don't they ? #
Oh I can't put any voice on , I've just got me own . #
I find people do tend to put a quite a lot do , put a telephone voice on . #
Yes . #
Oh I'd better go and wash our dishes dear . #
Most of them . #
There's only yours . #
Have you had #
enough to eat ? #
I think I've used most of the hot water . #
I think I need to put the immersion on for just a little while . #
I need a bath as well but #
I've used quite a few buckets of water washing walls . #
About that little flat in in Albany Road . #
You have to realize that we're never gonna get away from work . #
Cos when the wind blows you can smell a tandoori and #
It's when you walk up that way you know you're getting near it #
cos you can smell it . #
Won't bother you ? #
Mhm . #
Getting there . #
It'd be quite nice for me to be able to pop into town and get a bit of meat or something #
Very handy . #
You can go in for a drink . #
Not very far at all . #
Yeah . #
You're there . #
I said if you go for a drink you don't have to worry about getting home . #
Yeah I know we'd still go up the Clickers sometimes but we don't have to go all the time do we ? #
Mm . #
lot of things . #
You and Andy ? #
Where did you meet him ? #
When you went to Russia . #
Suppose you know that song well as well ? #
Suppose you know that tune well as well . #
You wrote it did you ? #
Mm . #
Sing it then . #
When I fill a book in about recordings and that how do you put have you got a regional accent ? #
Mm I'm aware I have . #
And so have you . #
Local I suppose I put #
No . #
Think we'll have to put down yes though when we talk to mum . #
No . #
You have to put the the regional accents acc accent if they have one . #
Like er Liverpudlian or #
No it I won't see . #
cos he comes back next Friday and we're on lates so he's on earlies so #
We shan't be seeing him . #
Essex isn't she ? #
Yeah , Essex isn't she comes from London doesn't she ? #
Oh she definitely has . #
Ann has n't . #
Yeah yeah . #
Definitely . #
Mm yeah . #
No but he has got a bit of an accent . #
Says lots of words that I don't use . #
Get old Sonny and George . #
I won't though cos we hardly see them . #
Which is a pity because they are #
cos they've both got accents . #
Norfolk . #
Er and George is Holbeach #
in Lincolnshire . #
He's got a funny little voice hasn't he ? #
yeah . #
Mild weather . #
Cloudy mild weather's forecast North Gloucester . #
Why didn't you go in for that ? #
Meteorology . #
Is that what you call it ? #
Yes . #
Cos you're quite interested in the weather aren't you ? #
See what it's like Saturday evening when we go to the party . #
Whether we're gonna walk , ride or what . #
Good walk up there you know , isn't it ? #
Is it ? #
Oh . #
We're usually pretty lucky when when we're on holiday . #
Aren't we ? #
It's just #
I tried to watch that but it wasn't very interesting . #
No . #
to it . #
No . #
I I turned it over in the end . #
I turned it over and that's about Did you have #
Ooh would you ever ? #
Did your teachers used to hit you ? #
Oh , would have hit other kids cos you wouldn't have been naughty enough to be hit . #
Wouldn't he have felt it as well . #
Mm . #
Chose the one . #

No . #
Good boy . #
Yeah . #
One of the goody goodies . #
Just a good boy . #
Sometimes . #
Mm Well you never hardly go ever got into trouble at school . #
You were a model pupil . #
You always did your homework . #
I don't think I , I don't know , well I didn't get caned . #
I got a swipe or two off Miss . #
Her with the withered paralyzed arm that she bashed you with because she couldn't clear it and you blooming well could . #
Her arm was like this only ever such a little hand and if you , she used to go and it just sort of reached your earhole when she was walking past you and if you were talking in class she'd go . #
That's all she could move it really was #
like that . #
Stop that . #
Sit still . #
She a few times . #
She was a the sewing mistress . #
And do you know , with this arm it was the right arm as well there was the most beautiful sewing . #
She used to hold it , she sort of took it in here #
and then sew with this hand #
one hand how she And it was beautiful work #
she used to do . #
Really did . #
she used to call us heathens cos we didn't wear vests . #
So we would deliberately not wear one even if you did #
if you had to go and try a garment on , you deliberately didn't wear underwear or #
just just to annoy Heathens , she used to say . #
Disgusting ! #
Where is your underwear ? #
But I wear a bra miss , I've got me underwear . #
Where is your vest and your liberty bodice ? #
You will come to a bad end ! #
You gals . #
Yes Miss we'd all chant . #
She used to really get not just sit , you know really silly old bat . #
And we had Miss who used to wear knickers down to her knees . #
She used to sit behind her desk like this with her legs open and her knickers used to come down here , pink ones and blue ones . #
And she used to eat chalk . #
Yeah , she was ever so odd . #
She used to #
she used to chew it . #
Mm and it used to be all around her mouth and she used to have a bit here sort of one of those old ladies who had whiskers on her chin and it'd be all white . #
We didn't take a lot I mean she was a history teacher so now you know why I didn't learn a lot of history cos all we did was giggle . #
And if you played up she used to chuck the blackboard rubber at you . #
She was really dotty . #
Really was . #
Absolutely bananas . #
She always used to sit with her legs open and these bloody knickers #
right down her knees . #
Yeah . #
It's just as well she wore knickers like that the way she was sitting behind her desk . #
Miss but by god she had a good aim , she might have been bloody dotty #
You got up giggling and laughing the back of the class and whoosh the bloody board rubber come flying across the classroom . #
Mm and blooming hurts and all . #
That terrible ?what they're gonna do with them ? #
Put them away for life we hope . #
Would you like anything before you go out dear ? #
To abandon me to your friends . #
Don't love you any more heard it all before I know #
I know . #
We're on holiday and I'm being left on my own . #
Cruel cruel hard man . #
Not stopping you going boozing though is it ? #
I don't want to . #
Well it's about quarter to seven so I suppose you're soon going to be off . #
Oh they don't know half . #
Oh we had much more discipline when we were young than they have nowadays and I don't think it does them any harm . #
If my children came home and said to me that they got the cane at school I'd have just said well you must have deserved it . #
I wouldn't have gone rush I mean some mothers have gone rushing up the school and complained . #
I said well he must have done something to deserve it . #
Otherwise they wouldn't have done it . #
Jonathan the other two didn't so much . #
Jonathan did couple of times . #
He come home with lines and write passages out of this that and the other . #
Well Steven used to tell on him you see . #
He's been in detention again . #
Tell-tale . #
What you tell her for . #
Huh You telly-tale oh you're too goody goody , you never get . #
Over exuberant , that's what they put on Jonathan's report , school report . #
That's what one of his school reports said . #
Jonathan suffers with an over ab abundance of exuberance . #
When I were at the parents' evening I said does that mean er he never sits still and he's always tearing about and #
said well something like that . . #
Probably . #
I don't think he was , he was just I dunno #
Yeah . #
And I I er and not only that I used to say to teachers well if if they'd ask him about and if he had anything er er and he'd be bored . #
why do you Jonathan ,St Steven said oh he'd been in detention . #
Why have you been in detention ? #
Oh I was playing up and they chucked me out the class or something and I had to stay in at dinner time . #
Said well why were you playing up ? #
I was bored . #
I tried telling some of the teachers that . #
He finds the lessons boring so obviously they're gonna mess about . #
If they're bor if you're bored and you can't #
So you , you get distracted and do something else #
you shouldn't be doing . #
And that's a fault in some ways of the teachers . #
If the pupils are bored the should make it interesting enough to keep their interest . #
Mm . #
Yeah I know subjects they're not you can't be interested in all of them . #
Look at them cars . #
And you can't even have a bloody free Dinky car . #
Mm . #
Yeah but it's still twenty seven quid . #
They don't get many twenty seven pound customers . #
Fiver or what have you . #
That's it . #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
Mm . #
Not very fair is it ? #
Saying cash I mean it's still cash innit ? #
big business that . #
Toys . #
Terrible prices . #
Oh I don't know . #
Mm . #
Yeah . #
Oh well I'd better go and do the dishes I think . #
I must do them now and then it's out of the way cos you and I want to see Emmerdale at seven . #
Come along dear . #
Oh I know there was . #
At that time of night ? #
Usually have it half way don't they ? #
Oh so you've had bloody supper have you ? #
Huh me sitting here and you've been eating blood supper . #
What , it was for the team there as well ? #
Chatting up the women probably if I know Ron . #
Quite enjoying himself . #
Yeah I bet he was . #
Eyeing up the bums like you . #
Mhm #
And I suppose you were saying I had Ann saying oh leaving me . #
I'm going to bed now . #
So Bob's gonna be in the in trouble . #
Well I didn't ask when he come in the door up there where the hell have you been ? #
With me on me own for five hours . #
Oh well you've quite enjoyed that and you've had a few of them by the smell of you . #
Smell like a bloody brewery . #
Told you , that's not a bad little pub is it ? #
Told you that and you said yuk . #
I don't mind it in there . #
Not bad is it ? #
Yeah I know . #
I know . #
I know and a little stage . #
I've seen yeah I have . #
round the corner a bit #
Mm yeah probably . #
Because erm because er Sue #
thing and her dad's got a country and western music I mean he , they go all over the bloody place . #
But we we were in there one night and he , he was playing . #
They had country and western night on there , now I think I was doing nowt one Saturday night and Sue and Steven were going to hear her dad . #
Why don't you come with us for an hour or so ? #
Mum'll be there after bingo at half past nine . #
I was going to bingo and I said and I said to her well we'll go and pick Sue's mother up and we'll pick you up and all and she went the Empire , I went the Corn Exchange but that's beside the point . #
And picked us up and I went in there and I were yeah half past eleven time . #
I mean it was a bit loud because it was live music I suppose but it wasn't a bad night . #
got lively . #
Oh #
Yeah . #
Well I was , it was round the back where #
he stood with erm the #
And there was a bit of there's a bit of floor in front of it . #
And we were dancing on that bit you see . #
There weren't a lot of room but you don't care do you ? #
When you've #
at ten o'clock at night and pub was packed . #
People singing with the the group . #
Yeah he plays guitar and sings Sue's dad does . #
You know everybody . #
Biggest part . #
Might even have had my Steven in wouldn't have known him . #
How do you know ? #

Probably his mother and father her mother and father had been in there anyway . #
Oh no , course not . #
Course not . #
I'm going soft in the her mum and dad'll probably be in . #
That's their regular if they were having a country and western they would ask him to do it because he's #
He's big . #
He's a , such a big fella . #
Fat . #
Sue's mum's little and fat , nearly as tall as she's broad . #
But dad's a #
bigger I mean he he he's at least as tall as you if not bigger and er also #
Yeah . #
And she's about the same size round but about five foot two . . #
Sue's a big girl . #
She's as tall as me and weighs nearly #
she must weight fourteen , fifteen stone I should think . #
Sue's big #
Oh she usually goes after bingo . #
They'll probably be in all night and she's just walked up from the bingo and toddle in there . #
I wouldn't think they'd be in the lounge . #
They could be but I wouldn't have thought so . #
Well I don't really know do I ? #
Empire . #
Do they have it Wednesday night bingo ? #
Is it Thursday night ? #
No oh I don't know . #
Oh well she wouldn't be there after the bingo then would she ? #
Probably went to I know that she does go . #
She there most of the evening and she goes to bingo and #
Cos they live down round near Tina's but not like Tina's house , before that off Allard Avenue round the back of Allard Avenue . #
Sherwood is it ? #
Yeah . #
Yeah they live up yeah . #
So it's not that far for The Loco really . #
It's sort of their local type of thing . #
anyway but Well Ann is going to retire . #
I suppose you're gonna have a bottle and a fag . #
Mind you , the smell of you I think you've had sufficient bottles but #
Told you not to drink much . #
Ooh . #
Perhaps I'd better stop up then . #
What ? #
You had quite a few . #
But I might as well go to bed . #
But I might as well go to bed ? #
And you do realize that this conversation is on a tape recorder ? #
Not sure how natural though #
We haven't got any left . #
I drunk them . #
Mhm . #
I drunk them as well . #
Without . #
Falling over now . #
Oh that young couple next door ah ! #
Oh I wish you'd have been at home , I'd have gone round there . #
Oh god ! #
She's been screaming . #
He's been reckon she must have locked herself up in the dark . #
And the only place with a lock on is the bathroom and I reckon they'll blooming knock the blooming door down by the sound of it . #
Quarter to ten till about half past ten . #
Or half an hour till half past ten #
No . #
And and really I mean you can't I'm I'm s I'm saying that you , you can't interfere but by god I'd long for someone to come in and interfere . #
I really would have done . #
And er er I I could never understand why people that obviously could hear what went on and pretended they never . #
I know you don't wanna get involved #
and this that and the other but people must have heard what went on and and you know the next morning they'd see a black eye and just carry out a normal conversation as though #
and you know they hadn't heard it all and #
ooh have you had a fall or something ? #
Then you know I mean they must have what was going on oh aye they just completely ignore it . #
I'd be walking round if I could get around . #
It were just you know oh it's a nice morning when I'm hanging the washing out as though everything was wonderful you know #
normal . #
Ooh I thought he was going to , ooh I felt made me go cold and I I thought if , if I hadn't been here on my own I'd have been very tempted to go round and and say is there anything I can do . #
Or I'd have called the police I think . #
I weren't sure what I'd have done but #
Oh . #
He was a calling her effing this , swearing oh it was dreadful . #
She was screaming and you could hear her crying . #
Then you hear , she pounded up the bloody stairs and he was after her and I reckon well the only room with a lock #
is the bathroom , so she must have been in there cos he's hammering on the door and bashing it and kicking it . #
Bloody hell of a row . #
Or whether she opened it or whether she was in the front bedroom with something behind the door I dunno but #
and she run back down the stairs and the front door was opening and banging and shutting , whether she run outside or what I don't know what happened , the dog was bloody barking . #
Well it's a wonder Ann and Rita haven't done something about it . #
And they had company as well there's a car there , blue car . #
Or Ann and Rita . #
I don't know . #
I don't know who it was . #
Sally can't drive so it must be some #
Her latest beau I should think , I don't know . #
But it was I mean I could hear it over the telly . #
I know I don't have the telly on full blast but I could hear it #
above the telly . #
When I first heard the first noise I thought what the bloody hell's that and I turned the sound down . #
Thought bloody hell , put it back up but you could , it was really distressing me cos #
Yeah . #
A woman and that don't s I mean if you're having just an argument it's raised voices but a woman doesn't scream and cry like that unless #
something awful going on . #
I mean Ann and Rita reckon they're not married or anything but why the hell does she stay with him then ? #
She's not got a bloody #
she's got no children . #
They're only young . #
It's her house . #
Isn't his . #
He couldn't , she bought it without , with her father and #
and he come and lived with her in it . #
Bloody hell . #
I know I mean I stayed with him but I had three kids . #
I had three kids , where could I go with them ? #
If I'd have been on me own I mean that's all I was waiting for , mine to grow up so I could clear off . #
If I'd have been on me own I wouldn't have stopped bloody long . #
I mean even if she walks out he doesn't , no court in the land would give him the house if it's hers . #
evicted and then she could come back again . #
Well if she went to the police they'd chuck him out . #
He has no legal rights to the property . #
It's in her name , she's , her father's helping her paid the deposit or something and she clears the mortgage she has no right , he has no right to it all if she went to the police . #
They'd just turf him out wouldn't they ? #
Well why stay in a relationship like that ? #
Don't understand it . #
Went quiet about half past ten so whether he buggered off out or what I don't know . #
Certainly the front door was opening and banging and shutting . #
Well banging on the wall probably with all the other banging and #
So much bloody banging going on . #
And the people on this side you don't know how they were reacting as well . #
Say , they was a quite young couple . #
We don't hear them that much do we ? #
Mornings is the time I hear them most . #
Cos they go out to work at half past eight and you hear them between half past seven and half past eight #
There you are I've made you a cup of tea . #
Thank you dear . #
Are you sure you don't want any breakfast ? #
You want nothing at all ? #
You'll be hungry . #
Eh ? #
What do you mean good ? #
Don't be silly . #
What's the point in getting really hungry . #
How would you like that ? #
Order's not completed you've got to stay till it is . #
Not many would . #
Very rare . #

Oh my god ! #
I had that yesterday . #
What's our post code ? #
They was looking for it on a list . #
Said I know it's P fourteen , I don't know the rest of it . #
And he looked on a list he had and he put seven something . #
Well you're good at remembering numbers . #
Yes darling . #
Yes very strange but you are strange . #
You always remember numbers . #
Don't you ? #
Car numbers and telephone numbers and #
When they come round at work and says this car blocked in I say oh go and ask Stuart he'll probably know . #
Give you a blooming it's a blue something or other and this is the number . #
Go and ask . #
I said go and Stuart or Bill they , they know most of them . #
I wouldn't know one from another . #
I don't . #

Oh that's not right . #
I wonder how she is if she's at work or at home . #
Oh that's nice . #
You don't care about work getting in a muddle #

That's not very nice . #
No it isn't . #
Cos it isn't . #
Yes darling . #
Well you know very well . #
We are going shopping . #
Whenever you're ready to take me shopping . #
Well probably Wisbech . #
No point in going to Lynn if we're going to mum's . #
Wherever you wish to take me . #
I don't mind . #
Haven't got a lot of choice . #
I don't like Tescos at Wisbech cos it's . #
So it's Gateway Gateway or blooming Rainbow . #
Suppose we could go down the Rainbow and have a look at that microwave . #
But I'll have to go into town first . #
Cos I don't think they'll give me the shopping for nothing and there's no bank down Rainbow . #
Well there is , a Co-op bank but I don't think they'll let me have some money out of it . #
And seeing as I haven't got an account with them I don't think they'll say well you can have some anyway . #
No . #
Got to see the estate agents and see if we can view something today . #
other ones that we are definitely interested in and underneath the ones that we are not so interested in . #
I don't know if that isn't erm what they call it who died not long ago ? #
Hazel's mum's . #
Cos perhaps the dad's moved out or you know . #
Quite close to her . #
Oh what was her name ? #
Old Hazel's mother . #
The little old lady who went to Salvation Army , always wearing a little hat . #
Oh what was her name ? #
Cos you know her as well . #
And I said oh my god she's died and you said oh I know her . #
She was to Salvation Army . #
Ever so small little lady . #
or something . #
I can remember her kids and I can't remember her name . #
Terrible . #
Hazel and Terry , mother-in-law's brother Terry fire officer at Wisbech , it's his mother-in-law laws . #
And she died not more than a few months ago . #
Oh it's awful . #
It's dreadful I mean quite fond of her . #
I think it's her house . #
Yeah I know cos I think you called on her cos you knew her . #
When she died you said oh I know her well . #
I put a ring round it so I know #
I think that is her house . #
Mind she had a husband but should think he living with one of the kids . #

the college . #
She drives . #
Then there's the college . #
Lot of people park in the college . #
Don't they ? #
Yeah . #
And it fell to bits . #
Do it a lot of good would it ? #
Woodwork and #
and even the brickwork . #
damp and If you get me back to mum's for about three o'clock time at the latest to take her to Osborne House . #
No it #
Yeah cos I mean you'd probably run her back , rather than her biking . #
As I say I mean we , if we could make an appointment say three fifteen or three thirty to see Sefton Avenue . #
Cos we'd be up there anyway . #
Wouldn't we ? #
Before it gets dark and you couldn't see anything anyway . #
Well that's it . #
cos you can't see a lot . #
Cos there won't be electricity on . #
Anyway you wanna have a good look round seriously consider it . #
Cos I think now we haven't heard from Mr and I think that means he's not prepared to take it so he's not bothered about coming . #
Yeah ? #
Is that the way you're reading it ? #
Ignore it cos the man might just leave him in there renting it until or when forever it goes up . #
But we can't afford it to go up . #
Yeah I am . #
Yeah I am . #
Exactly . #
That's it . #
He don't have to keep calling and wandering around after us . #
But I'm not prepared to go on renting it . #
As you say three thousand pound a year that could be paid off a place of our own is is just I mean if I have to rent it well I'll have to rent one . #
If we can't get anything else and we can't afford anything else we've just got to go on paying it but #
when there's so much other #
Yeah I know . #
Some of them are terrible . #
I know . #
Three hundred . #
No ! #
That's the one I fancy . #
If I went anywhere into another flat , I'd quite fancy going into #
Mm I know . #
Mm I wouldn't I wouldn't go in to Armada Close I don't think . #
Yeah well you see , furnished you see they can charge extra . #
I wouldn't want a furnished one now . #
I know they are expensive . #
Which is why I #
which , which is why now er that Rose and Jean when they considered it . #
Mum said how about renting one in Wisbech but I said well if she can't afford a mortgage you can't afford to rent one . #
Not anything that's worth living in . #
fifty quid a week ones are er forty pound a week and so on . #
You gets what you pay for which nowadays isn't a lot , not for that money . #
You know when I asked , was gonna have er on Lynn Road there what was that fifty a fifty a week ? #
I mean it was #
it was clean but that's about all you could say . #
I don't know where Ann is . #
No I think she's down Victoria Road somewhere . #
She won't tell anybody . #
But I think she lives somewhere down Victoria Road . #
I don't know . #
She's only in a bedsit . #
I know . #
That's cos she's lonely and she just wanders about . #
She gets up #
don't want to stay in the bedsit . #
One room she she shares a bathroom and kitchen . #
She just goes for a walk . #
I mean she's seeing people and #
I don't really , I just presume she lives down Victoria Road somewhere but I don't really know . #
She couldn't do any other . #
She hasn't got a vehicle , she can't afford one . #
She could be . #
But that weren't a bedsitter that I was in . #
Shared bathroom but I #
but it was a kitchen and bedroom and living room . #
They're only tiny like an alcove bedroom but #
I mean it was the only one with a with its own kitchen . #
The one that I was gonna have . #
This was right up the top and there were a tiny attic bedroom thing was made into a not very salubrious but it had a cooker and a sink . #
And as I say that was fifty or something a week and it wasn't wasn't worth it really . #
Furniture wasn't that posh but then er but the only thing I thought about it was safe and it was clean . #
Needed a bit of personalizing but it was it was old-fashioned furniture but it was polished . #
It was clean . #
Had a reasonable carpet on the floor and , and so on . #
But it wasn't worth fifty pound a week . #
Definitely not . #
people do . #
People are desperate to buy and they'll have whatever and they have to pay . #
When you think that one what was thirty three thousand two hundred and sixty a month or something wasn't it ? #
Well that's gonna be about two hundred and forty , two hundred and fifty a month for that one down . #
Cos thirty three worked out two sixty didn't it ? #
Mortgage . #
So you can say two hundred and fifty pound a month to buy a place . #
And yet they want two eighty to rent one . #
Seems quite ridiculous . #
Yeah but at least you've got , actually got the property haven't you ? #
You're not just paying somebody else to have a Cos if you're moving if you can't sell it you can always rent it again . #
Which is what a lot of people are doing houses especially . #
They buy a house cos they've had a child or something . #
They can't afford to they can't sell that one so they rent that out which pays the mortgage for it and start again on another mortgage . #
Oh yes . #
Got to be careful of your tenants . #
pay . #
That's why it's best to go through an agency or er something like White and Eddies because they have people that collect them and they have people who have to take up references and #
And they have they have proper leases . #
I mean after that they're out and #
Oh yeah I know . #
Oh yeah income tax on it . #
But a lot of people are doing it . #
Lot of people are doing it because they just can't well circumstances . #
It's either the job or something means they've gotta go away or they can't afford , they can't sell them so they I don't know if that would make your income different if you were still paying a mortgage . #
Even though your , all the money #
you were getting in was getting paid out again ? #
Paying them more tax . #
But I think the expenses when you're #
Yeah but you , you'd be able to claim expenses . #
You wouldn't pay the whole of it taxable if it was you know you would claim expenses for one thing and another . #
Otherwise probably that's why they are dear because they have to do things like that . #
That's it . #
Pay fifty and thirty quid a week more is a bloody what they get stopped off them . #
I mean Tina's got that little house . #
I mean now you'd get it two hundred and fi , I mean Tina pays two hundred and forty eight er pound a week , a month . #
Three hundred and forty eight pound a month mortgage on that little house . #
I mean that was bloody thirty nine thousand , or was it forty one when she had it . #
It was #
forty one I think . #
I mean now they're going for thirty two . #
We can afford one like that . #
Mm . #
They don't sell now . #
Not selling at all . #
There's a few renting now cos they can't sell them . #
So It's a nice enough little house but I'm not awfully keen on it are you ? #
No I don't #
If it had a door and a wall and #
Mm . #
It's not so bad . #
That's it . #
That's why Tina doesn't like people smoking in her house because it gets into her bedroom . #
Yeah . #
She doesn't like people smoking in her house . #
Because she says I don't want my bedroom smelling of smoke , her sheets and everything else . #
Mind you they have done a bit more to it since Wiggie's been there in as much as she's had a big curtain put across #
All the way across . #
Because Steve couldn't sleep . #
Because it's light . #
See you'd even the patio door light went #
straight upstairs . #
Because he's , and then #
skylight . #
He's had a blind put up a special blind that leads straight across the fanlight . #
And she's had curtains big track put across so that sh #
she can shut it right off . #
She couldn't , she just wasn't sleeping . #
Said was broad daylight . #
She said oh he you know we've had all that done . #
Tracked across the ceiling so that shut the off . #
She said he just couldn't sleep in there . #
With all the lights and daylight and sunshine through the bloody thing and It was alright once he got off but he had a job getting off when it was #
as I say when it was sunlight shining through the bloody thing on his face . #
Mm they've had a special , they had a skylight blind made . #
They couldn't have an ordinary one cos it would hang down . #
Has to be on a runners on the side as well otherwise it would just fall down . #
Yeah . #
It's got a , you know like a frame what you put in along . #
Mm . #
But it's got runners to hold the side in you see ? #
I mean but Steven would but #
the building society and erm #
They'll have to pay another mortgage as well . #
Well she must have paid a bit off . #
She's been in there about three years . #
Yeah . #
That would be added to it you see . #
Well I don't know , I mean Steve must pay about eighty pounds a bloody week . #
Maintenance and one thing and another . #
Mind you saying that , three hundred fifty pound a month to buy a bigger mortgage anyway . #
Nowadays . #
Yeah well that's what I mean . #
They could have bought , afford a #
a a better property for about forty four thousand or whatever for the same money . #
Cos that's how it's worked out . #
Yeah so she's got to buy a cheaper one and that would be added to it . #
Mm and just his wages how much extra they could afford . #
I know Steven would like . #
He'd like one with a spare bedroom so the children can come and stop . #
I mean Tina's worried now , she's got his mother coming for christmas for a fortnight . #
Don't know where the hell she'll sleep , she's got to sleep in the living room . #
Fifty two probably get the fifty . #
Hefty mortgage . #
Tina reckons out of her wages she's got ninety , ninety six pound a week out of her wages just for mortgage and #
expenses . #
That's gone before she starts . #
Seventy five I think he pays . #
It's a lot of money gone before you've even #
Depends what you want most don't it I suppose ? #
She'd like to change the car . #
I mean she never liked that car . #
Ever . #
She had a nice car before Chris made her have that more or less . #
She didn't want it . #
She hated it at first , she wouldn't drive it . #
Noisy and clumsy , she didn't like it at all . #
She never has really . #
She doesn't like it . #
Never been happy with it . #
Never . #
It was Chris's idea to have the diesel one and that model . #
He talked her into it . #
But she hated it at first . #
She'd do anything rather than drive it at first . #
I don't know what she had before but it was a #
Mind you it was quite old . #
I think it was a car that she'd had for was well looked after her dad used to see to it for her but it was she'd had it for some years and she was always poodling about in you see . #
And it was her second car that she'd ever had sort of thing . #
She'd had it five or six years or something like that . #
You know , think it was about ten year old when she got rid of it . #
Something like that . #
But , say it was a lovely little car really . #
And she hated that . #
Times she used to go really hate it . #
Paper man . #
Morning . #
Thank you very much . #
Thankyou . #
Bubye . #
quarter past ten . #
Yeah . #
I don't mind . #
And if we make an appointment to view some places and then we'll know what time we've got to doing the shopping and fit it in round taking mum . #
Seeing mum . #
So you don't fancy this afternoon ? #
Cos as I say if we did see Sefton Avenue or New Drove today . #
Oh yeah , there's plenty of time . #
I don't really want to go on a Saturday . #
Saturday afternoons with mum . #
well I wouldn't be absolutely if , if I had to go out then I'd have to go out . #
Then there's always Saturday morning see Helen but then Stuart likes to sleep in . #
But no I think Saturday's out really . #
It's not a day for viewing houses . #
We could go out Sunday ? #
And mum could come as well . #
Oh yes . #
People at work all the week don't they ? #
Gets dark in the evenings then then then definitely . #
That's the only time you can view a property . #
I mean unless somebody's living in it you can't go in the evenings in the winter can you ? #
And I don't fancy a house that somebody's actually living in . #
Cos then you've got ta wait while they #
And it can all fall through because theirs is falling through or they can't get out when you want and that can go on for Can it not ? #
Sometimes it just can't be helped cos there's nothing in your price range you know that you like that isn't empty but I would prefer an empty property so that when we decide and then whatever just #
Certainly if we'd see something that would do this afternoon , or New Drove today , that's fine . #
Two of them at New Drove are downstairs and one is an upstairs . #
The one upstairs , because it hasn't got a bay window #
is larger . #
The upstairs one is slightly larger . #
number seven which is an upstairs one hasn't got any bay windows . #
It is larger than the two five and six that are downstairs . #
Well one's Cornerstone . #
One's Cornerstone #
Two are Hansard #
I think it's Cornerstone one that's the larger of the two , the three . #
Six seven . #
Hansard . #
They're doing five and seven so they've got one above each other . #
One's doing five and seven which is this is for two and one's doing six which is this one . #
Seven is definitely slightly bigger than six and five . #
I checked it out . #
The lounge is fourteen by ten . #
The bedroom is thirteen nine by nine instead of eleven by eight . #
That kitchen's thirteen by five , that totals eleven by seven . #
No . #
None of it's much difference . #
It's only a diff er it's a matter of two feet here and #
But then I don't mind . #
I don't mind living upstairs or on the ground . #
Well I mean if they've got the key to both might haven't decided on both of them you might as well go and see them . #
Both of them . #
See which one you like the best or if you like them at all . #
But as it's got that financial package #
Yeah . #
it . #
The financial package . #
Cornerstone . #
No #
Yeah . #
But actually the one at Cornerstone is fifty pound cheaper than the both of them at Hansard . #
It is ! #
One's nine nine fifty and one's nine nine #
So it's forty five pound different . #
Oh yeah . #
Yeah . #
Yeah that's just Yeah . #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
The only difference is he's had a few thousand extra because it's got two kitchens and two bathrooms . #
partitions and #
But apart from that oh an extra bath instead of the other bedroom #
and erm another kitchen instead of a dining room or something and that's the only difference . #
Say three four thousand probably . #
For the extra bits and pieces that's all . #
I don't know how many of them there are . #
Whether they only had four flats or whether there's a flat on another block and another block of fours down the road . #
I mean I don't know . #
Well there might be four blocks of four or I du n no . #
No I don't know . #
I mean you know the area better than me . #
I've no idea . #
I know them council houses aren't usually but I mean I can't visualize how much land there is . #
I only know that by going to school and #
where they are . #
Probably should have gone the other way into town but #
Eh ? #
Well you could have gone sort of like round the Rainbow and that way on . #
That's what I meant . #
the bypass that end of town would have been perhaps a little bit clearer . #
That's it . #
Whether you wanna go and see it . #
I mean we know where Sefton Avenue is and we know that's #
a nice house . #
Well I mean I mean #
No but I mean I know which house it is with that one , and you do don't you ? #
Well I think so as well . #
Oh I think , just to make sure that #
it is the house that we're thinking about . #
We think it is . #
I said as soon as I see it in the paper oh that looks nice . #
Where's that ? #
I mean not sure . #
It's that one . #
Yes . #
That's it . #
Think it is . #
Looks nice . #
Nice house though isn't it ? #
You know sometimes I like as I say they've got #
they've got erm #
Yeah it's a nice house . #
And this is a back , the back door #
this one because you , there's the back view look I mean that's that's a back door isn't it ? #
So you have the downstairs back and the the front stairs go up to the can't actually see That's definitely the back door . #
Oh yeah it says allotted parking space . #
We have made him an offer but he's not very keen . #
It looks as if he's not very keen on the price we want to pay . #
He said he knows the market's low and he'd rather wait . #
But then we wouldn't be able to afford it if the market goes up and #
Well that's it . #
I mean we're paying two hundred and fifty pound a month so at least he's getting that coming in . #
But then you can really have a mortgage for that . #
No . #
But at the moment he's well he's not come back to us with any answer from our offer at all so we're we're presuming that means no so we thought we'd better start looking . #
That's it . #
Yeah it's it's not much more . #
And Stuart's been and enquired and it wouldn't be much more for a small property . #
That's it . #
There's not a lot more in here is there ? #
There's a bedroom , it's very #
No . #
This bedroom's got the bay window . #
They've got security locks same as ours . #
Yeah . #
Quite nice . #
No . #
Yeah , mm . #
Mm . #
Cooker goes in there and the washing machine in there . #
Nowhere for a fridge . #
Well you'd have to have it sticking out round . #
The cooker would have go in there and the washing machine in there . #
No fridge . #
I'm afraid it would have to be sticking out . #
No just an ordinary fridge . #
Well there will be . #
Just an ordinary one . #
Oh this is just exactly the same only the other way round . #
Yeah . #
in the cupboard #
It hasn't got a sink in this one . #
Or toilet . #
It's all been #
Er actually it has been broken into , this one . #
We looked at it outside and and the window #
at the back there is broken . #
somebody's been helping themselves . #
Number seven . #
This is the . #
Yeah . #
Yeah you see your washing machine . #
Cooker that #
Yeah . #
See you could have your cooker one side and your washing machine and fridge , washing machine under there and fridge there . #
Yeah . #
Mm . #
I said the one upstairs was bigger . #
I was reading the things and I said it was a bigger upstairs is , are bigger than the downstairs . #
Yeah . #
It's quite pleasant that is . #
Yeah you see it's bigger cos the bedroom #
is a bigger bed bigger room altogether . #
Yeah that's right . #
This is the bedroom . #
But even the bedroom's bigger . #
It's bigger . #
Most definitely . #
So you'd have #
I could tell by the you know the details #
it just seemed that #
Yeah the way it was reading . #
I said to Stuart I'm sure #
the upstairs is bigger . #
He said that can't be . #
But you've got the hall and that underneath you see . #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
I like this one , I don't like the downstairs one so much . #
It is isn't it ? #
Yeah I prefer this one definitely . #
It's quite big as well isn't it ? #
Yeah . #
No they never do , do they ? #
Yeah I prefer this one to downstairs . #
It's much better . #
You've also got the loft there you can shove #
rubbish . #
Well that one actually's not advertized so it might have gone . #
we've only seen well we've seen advertized six five six and seven #
but that one wasn't #
well there's no details in #
Yes . #
said . #
I do . #
Yeah I do . #
I like it very much . #
As I say you've got plenty of room to have your #
You know , you've got your washing machine goes in here the cooker there your fridge here . #
You'd get everyth , you'd get your cooker cooker goes there , fridge here , washing machine under there , you're #
Yes it's more #
Yeah that other one was a bit narrow and #
Yeah . #
I like this one . #
I definitely much prefer this one . #
And I say the rooms are bigger as well . #
Seven . #
Mm . #
Yeah that's it . #

 #
I like this one . #
Yeah . #
I definitely #
Yeah that's , when I was reading the thing I said to you somehow the upstairs seemed much better . #
It is . #
It is a nice size bedroom . #
Yes . #
Mm . #
It is , that's it . #
It's not likely to be over well actually I don't we don't know if they're gonna be building there . #
Eventually . #
Yeah . #
Well I certainly , yeah , I certainly like this one . #
Thirty two and a half maximum wasn't it ? #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
That's it . #
And this one's , as I say it's twenty nine something so I mean it's it's about right isn't it ? #
It does yeah . #
I definitely like this one . #
Gain . #
Mm I definitely like this one so #
Yeah . #
That's why I said to you #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
Yes I like the colour better . #
Mm . #
Yeah down here there's no , no . #
I know but in here there's no window at all it's er you've got to have the light on all the time . #
Don't you ? #
Mm . #
Yeah . #
It is dark . #
Mm . #
Yeah . #
It's quite but what I'm I mean where would you put your fridge ? #
I mean you've really got to have a fridge in this day and age haven't you ? #
No . #
No cos then you wouldn't have enough space . #
You couldn't have your fridge sticking out here so you could go and to get #
No . #
Oh yeah . #
Yeah . #
Mm . #
Yes . #
I do . #
I like that one . #
Yes . #
Well w we said we'd prefer to be upstairs #
rather than have somebody above your head . #
We work , we we work shift work so I I mean you know we get up at half past four in the morning and and if you've got people trundling about above your heads all hours of the night it's er #
Oh . #
Stuart . #
Erm #

 #
Window , oh we've done it . #
Ah that's it . #
No . #
Ours is actually a new house . #
It was but er the market was so low that he decided not to well I don't think he could get a buyer actually , it's just stood there so he he he let it out rather than have it stood there with the option for us to buy it but I say now the prices are lower he's not keen on selling it at that price . #
And I'm not prepared to go on paying three thousand a year renting it to give to him when I could be buying one myself . #
Mm . #
I mean three thousand a year to rent one's a lot of money really . #
That's the kitchen is it ? #
Nice size kitchen isn't it ? #
Yeah . #
It's a nice size . #
No . #
That's #
Doesn't , doesn't say . #
It just says a cooker point . #
Yes . #
So the carpets may be as well . #

Yeah . #
No . #
It's better than having the water . #
Mm . #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
We've got a similar one on ours . #
Mm . #
Yes it's quite large as well isn't it ? #
Mm . #
Yeah . #
The bathroom #
Oh it's a nice little bathroom as well isn't it ? #
It is isn't it ? #
Yeah . #
Yeah , it's quite nice . #
Yeah . #
Yes it's a nice colour . #
Mm . #
Nice . #
Yeah . #
Same as we've got at home . #
Yes . #

Yeah . #
We have ours on two and it's ever so warm . #
Quite nice really isn't it ? #
Yeah . #
Yeah we've got one like that , I know . #
Yeah there's space under there for bits and pieces . #
That's a nice size bedroom . #
Yes . #
It's #
quite a big bedroom . #
Mm . #
Yeah . #
No , we don't like it too hot in the bed , well Stuart doesn't . #
He's always well I'm always #
cold and he's always boiling . #
If I have the heat up very high in the bedroom he can't sleep . #
It's ever so nice . #
Above . #
Yeah the door there isn't it ? #
Mm . #
Yeah I was gonna say same . #
this one . #
If he goes to the pub Stuart would probably know him anyway . #
That's the stairway . #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
probably is wardrobes there . #
Yeah that's bigger . #
Yeah be nice . #
Was bigger than the downstairs . #
Mm . #
Mm . #
Yeah I like this one . #
They renovated it . #
Thank you very much . #
I'm sorry to bother you . #

We're not really in that much anyway are we ? #
No . #
We work long hours and #
Yeah , you can do things like that . #
Yeah you can talk and #
Mm . #
It's nice isn't it ? #
We'll have them both . #
Yeah , you can live in one and I'll live in another . #
Nice aren't they ? #
Yes #
Washing machine and cooker and fridge So of course you could have in here . #
Oh yeah you could have a taller fridge . #
I know . #

I dunno . #
I'm not waiting , bother waiting for the desired #
Yep , thank you very much . #
Yeah I like it . #
Mm . #
Right in but it's only a few minutes away . #
No . #

Thank you . #
Yeah well you're going out anyway so you #
don't need the heater on . #
How are you , alright ? #
Oh well . #
We didn't have to come . #
Yeah . #
What time we were gonna be viewing houses but we've been to see two . #
No . #
I don't know whether it's #
Well you can't just leave it and not bother can we ? #
We thought there'd have been some response #
by now but there hasn't been . #
Yeah . #
And they haven't bothered . #
And he hasn't bothered . #
Well we thought we'd better get looking . #
Albany Road and New Drove . #
Down near Queen's Boys #
That one . #
Yeah , brand new . #
Mm . #
They're both flats that we've seen . #
Well there's one of each but we prefer the upstairs one , it's nicer . #
I didn't like the downstairs one . #
I didn't like the kitchen . #
It was like a passage weren't it really ? #
It's a funny little #
funny kitchen . #
No . #
Brand new . #
Mm . #
Nobody's been in them yet . #
No . #
No . #
Upstairs half . #
Yeah . #
There's one bedroom and a living room and a kitchen and a bathroom and it's qu they're quite sizeable really I mean they're not #
Mm . #
Yeah we haven't , we liked the upstairs one very much . #
And we can get a good package on that you see . #
Well he he's wanting to sell them . #
And he'll either you can either knock he'll ei , you can either knock some money off , which he'd accept whatev ,mo most or he'd pay your deposit for you . #
Well I'm if it's full price thirty thousand , that's three thousand pound innit , near enough ? #
Fifteen at five percent . #
Or or he'll knock it off the price if you want to . #
You can get a good deal with him because #
he wants to get , he wants them sold now he's built them . #
That's a flat as well . #
Yeah . #
That's a downstairs one . #
. #
Yeah . #
It's been #
builders ren made it into two separate . #
Mm . #
I think they're both nice . #
The kitchen's nice #
Yeah . #
It's a lovely kitchen . #
There's some lovely lovely units in that one . #
Well I don't think so . #
No , they're quite happy to lend Stuart the money as long as it's not more than thirty two which that isn't . #
And we'll probably knock him down anyway because say there's #
properties aren't going . #
Top top of Chase Street . #
Behind factory . #

Mhm . #
Hello . #
Glad when it's all over . #
Be glad when it's all over . #
Otherwise she's alright . #
Yeah . #
Mmmmmmm #
No . #
Do they think you'll be able to go back to work ? #
Six months ? #
Mm . #
Then you'll have to be careful #
won't you ? #
Be very careful . #
But he's not allowed is he ? #
He's not allowed he told you didn't he ? #
told him that er seeing he's on the sick he wasn't allowed to go . #
Show him your scar #
Do you wanna say cheerio ? #
Bye bye . #
Bye bye . #
Yeah we'll see you tomorrow . #
Yeah when we called in . #
Isn't Stuart coming ? #
Mm . #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
Cheerio . #
We're not going he's bringing his clothes . #
We're not going home . #
Yeah , well there's no point in going home . #
Bye . #

Yeah . #
That's lovely . #
I was gasping . #
Especially when that man was #
Yeah , which I didn't understand any of it . #
Pension mortgages and this mortgage and and he didn't really know how er er cos that that foreign Lucy or whatever her name was #
that foreign lady was quite amused . #
She was laughing when you were asking him questions . #
as if to say ah ah he's not sure what he's doing . #
He's got somebody here who knows . #
Instead of just sitting there and quoting all these figures #
and blinding you with science . #
Somebody who can ask questions and knew what he was talking about . #
And she was giggling away . #
She kept raising her eyebrows and laughing . #
I was watching her . #
No you had your back to her . #
But I could see behind you and she was #
Well that's it . #
You're not , and you're not gonna be blinded by all these like he was , what was he saying about all endowments are are not unit then you were saying yes they are and #
said that . #
But you were confusing him because you knew , where he's used to just sitting there and telling blah blah blah blah and #
And you knew what he was on about . #
And you didn't want that did you ? #
And you haven't got enough money . #
But do you think this thing what he was on about , pension mortgage , do you think that would be better ? #
Was that that PEP thing what's all in the papers at the moment ? #
Is that what it means ? #
Oh . #
Is it similar ? #
Oh . #
Sorry . #
Mhm . #
Well that's the most important thing isn't it ? #
Yeah . #
Mhm . #
Mm . #
Mm I know you can take them along with you nowadays can't you and into a #
Mm . #
Where they used to be frozen and then you started another one wherever you went next time . #
And you ended up with three four d silly little bits and pieces didn't you ? #
Yeah . #
I know you can take them with you now . #
And it was a lot less money as well wasn't it ? #
It started #
Yeah . #
Mm . #
And and a cash sum at the end of it . #
Seems quite doesn't seem a lot does it ? #
And would you still have to have an insurance on top of that ? #
So you'd still have to have #
you'd have the two hundred pound and then you'd have a life insurance on top ? #
The whole lot ? #
Well why doesn't everybody have them then ? #
I know but they didn't , he didn't suggest it to you or why doesn't he say well there is this er er , you said that he didn't . #
And he must have known that they're gonna be cheaper so why doesn't he advise people who are starting out to take one of them ? #
Rather than a #
I know , exactly . #
But surely that's #
his job . #
If he's trying to find you the cheapest #
Exactly . #
Because a young couple going in well even in our situation , you haven't got much money and you want the cheapest thing for the best we you know . #
But he never suggested it . #
You said what about a company , what about a a pension mortgage and he #
Mm . #
Exactly . #
Yeah because it is cheaper and #
Mm . #
No he just could do an endowment one and that was it . #
An an endowment policy , and endowment mortgage and that was it . #
He didn't tell you anything else . #
I know . #
Ninety six . #
Two hundred and five and then that on a ninety six #
Mm . #
Yeah . #
That's quite clear . #
Mm . #
That's only five pound a month to earn your pension . #
That gives you five pound a month towards your pension which is nothing is it ? #
What's term assurance ? #
Don't understand that . #
Well if you died you'd be dead . #
Well that's fair enough isn't it ? #
You wouldn't want anything else . #
And if you died the would be paid . #
That's it , you'd pay #
What and arrange your own ? #
Or he'd just tell you ? #
No , that's it . #
Mm . #
You've got to get the right deal . #
Yeah but that's not that much a we #
It's only three quid a m a week . #
Well that's it . #
Mm . #
Well he said you could get tax relief on the whole lot . #
That's what he said . #
At twenty five percent . #
Well that's what he said didn't he ? #
Er you'd be handy for a a tax relief on the whole lot rather than just #
part of it . #
Mm . #
There used to be but there is no #
But they stopped it . #
Mm . #
Yeah be because you you confused him . #
Because you knew . #
Rather than somebody as I say like me who sat down there and he'd just quote all these figures and you wouldn't know what the hell he was on about and just , all you , all I would understand at the end is that's what you gotta pay . #
Which is what most people that go in there #
Well they wouldn't understand all the rest . #
This plan , that plan , the other plan . #
They only know well you either have this option paying this amount , that option paying that amount or that option paying that amount and which one do you want to have . #
And and you don't understand any of the rest of it . #
You just sit there mm yeah mm no mm well that's the cheapest , that's the dearest and and take their advice which ones the best for you and have it . #
And that's er that's all normal people who don't understand any of it that's the way they'd go about it isn't it ? #
You'd just accept whatever was #
Yes Stuart . #
Yeah . #
Mm . #
I tell you what you wa who you wanna go and see . #
Who I saw when I bought the house at er thing . #
Now he was , I know he blinded me with science but he wa , he was really very good and he had his computer there and he went through all these different societies and plans . #
No but he had I mean he had a screen and er #
and that was that's along near Maxie's near the post office but it's a #
Yeah , I saw him . #
Oh and he was smashing . #
And he explained it all to me . #
He he explained it all . #
And although there was all these figures and er and he explained what was best , I mean he was purely a financial I mean he he as he said when we went in cos it doesn't make no difference , I I I'm not attached to anything . #
I'm here to #
I am here to give you advice . #
And that's it . #
And and therefore I'm not here to sell you this or that . #
I'm here purely to find out , you want to buy this council house and and and I'm here purely to find out your circumstances and and what would be the best deal for you . #
And he went , I mean I was there for blooming ages . #
And he went through everything till he found out and it wa I didn't have the abs the absolute cheapest one . #
Cos he didn't think that was a because Steven was disabled and that as well and on my money and one thing and another #
and and one thing and another but er it I mean mi mine ended up with the Bradford and Bingley , I mean #
Yeah I know but he did say that even though agents I'm not giving you this and then he showed me all the things you know to sort of prove that he was doing it . #
But that's wh oh yeah that's who I had . #
No well that's what he said , it doesn't but I mean he went through all these and insurance companies and because of my kidney being removed I had to pay , I had to pay higher even though I didn't have to have a bloody medical but I had to pay high because of my #
because I'd had medical Yeah it was cos I'd had all these operations . #
You know you had to put how many operations have you had in the last ten years and have are you er receiving any treatment and all that bloody blah blah blah . #
And so mine , mine was higher #
than er than other peoples which is why he went to all these bloody quotes . #
He sorted it all out . #
But he was really good . #
Mm . #
But when you buy a council house it is slightly different in as much as some some of them won't have them . #
Then also , he also gave me I mean I got hundred percent mortgage which you are allowed on , I mean the law says er t the chance to buy so therefore you don't have to have a deposit . #
But he also gave me enough to cover all my fees , legal fees . #
So I borrowed over what the house was worth . #
But that was only because I'd lived in it for a long time and I got a discount so the house was really #
worth more #
than what I was paying for it . #
Cos I got a discount so er I borrowed another thousand pound #
to cover all the costs for the survey for Maxie's and and this that and the other . #
Which I think come to about eight nine hundred pound . #
Anyway he borrowed all that for me . #
Mm . #
Mm . #
But to go to somebody like him who knew his job #
which was his job and and had everything there and he , he patched through to this computer this place and different computers that he had . #
And the facility to to get through to . #
That he could get all these to find out what he thought was the best policy in in your #
as I say because of my health and one thing and another you couldn't just and he , and he was really good he was and explained everything to me I say that #
Mm . #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
Ever so nice . #
He really you know made me feel I say I weren't sat there like I was with that fella thinking well he don't seem to know what he's saying anyway . #
Which is what the impression I got about him , he wasn't really sure himself . #
But I think that was partly you floored him because you knew . #
He sort of was a bit you got him a bit couldn't say . #
But certainly that man that I went to that time he was very very nice and #
then you could see he'd patch into all these different bloody things and #
and and and I ended up with er a reasonable #
It was an endowment . #
Yeah it had to be . #
I dunno why but it had to be . #
Well I don't know but that's what #
My mortgage ? #
I had it in eighty one , twenty years so another ten years . #
No they were all cancelled weren't it ? #
Oh yeah I signed the form . #
Everything's all #
Yeah . #
Cancelled . #
Stopped . #
The money was all . #
I don't know . #
I just signed forms to say that I was no longer responsible or had any claim on the property or whatever . #
And that was it . #
I didn't have to pay any more and I didn't , and I was passing it over to to Steve . #
I don't know what happened . #
The whole lot was in was it endowment ? #
No I dunno , it can't have been can it ? #
I don't know . #
No it wasn't it was a no it wasn't an endowment . #
I didn't pay . #
I only paid extra insurance . #
Yeah because yeah because , because of my health . #
Yeah . #
That was it . #
Yeah it was Yeah . #
Because of my health . #
I couldn't , I don't think he could get the other he got that one because of ,i in my health you couldn't they couldn't say how long #
because of my kidney . #
The other kidney could go all blah blah blah and this that and the other . #
Yeah . #
It was just ordinary insurance . #
I don't know how much it was . #
I don't know . #
I mean I only paid a hundred and sixty pound a month but I mean #
Then I only borrowed twenty odd thousand cos I got a forty odd percent discount off the price of the house anyway . #
Twenty two I think it was , something like that . #
And the rent was thirty six pound a week . #
And it ended up I was buying it for less money than what I was paying monthly for rent . #
So it was all #
Might as well have done it . #
So I went into it . #
Yeah it it worked out hundred and sixty one pound a month , with the insurance . #
So it's alright I mean I paid the whole bloody lot to them , I didn't #
sort it all out . #
You don't pay it separate , I didn't . #
I paid to council offices . #
And they sorted , they forward it I suppose or did whatever they had to do with it . #
Used to pay at the council offices . #
different book . #
used to go and pay it . #
Write the cheque out and he'd just take it in . #
I could have had it done through the bank but he was always up town anyway so #
didn't make any difference one way or the other . #
Save you going to the bank . #
Couldn't I ? #
Just give you the money you spends . #
Well of course we will . #
expect you to pay #
Sounds smashing dunnit ? #
That's what I said , why doesn't everybody have them ? #
Well he said go back and tomorrow at least and #
Mhm . #
If that's right that's the one you want really isn't it ? #
Mm . #
But even then it won't be will it be that much ? #
Would it be that much more ? #
Well exactly . #
So it's gonna #
be less than a want two hundred and eighty . #
I said so you might as well have that and have a lump sum and a blooming house and #
And a pension . #
That's what I mean . #
Might as well have your pension . #
when you get to sixty . #
Yeah . #
If if you get a better job and what have you you can always #
Yeah you #
Exactly , yes . #
Yeah . #
Mm . #
Mm . #
Well see what he comes up with . #
And certainly say two hundred and twenty five pound a month it's still worth having . #
Mm . #
Even if it's two hundred and fifty it the same #
you're gonna have a pension and and a home . #
Yeah well that's it . #
You could volunteer to pay two hundred and fifty a month couldn't you ? #
Mhm . #
That's what I mean . #
If anything happened . #
Mm . #
What happens then then ? #
If you get made redundant ? #
And you've already got it . #
Mm . #
Mhm . #
But you've got to make the decision cos I like both of them very much . #
So therefore you have to make the decision which one , if it comes down to it , would you like to live in . #
I mean if we could get that one down at New Drove what is it , twenty nine ? #
So that's gonna be , say if you get fifteen hundred off it it's gonna be twenty eight . #
Yeah . #
Well say you get twenty eight and a half . #
You're gonna get it cheaper the mor the monthly payment is cheaper . #
And then aff and then you could afford to buy some blooming carpets . #
And with the other one you've got to find a deposit which you'd have to pay back . #
You wouldn't have to buy the carpets . #
Well a cooker you definitely , a fridge say we could perhaps borrow that one of mum's until we could afford one . #
Or pick up a cheap one . #
But a cooker's no problem because I know you can go into the Electricity Board and say I'm moving into a new property , I haven't got a cooker and they would , you can get them . #
No deposit , just added to your electric bill . #
That's a way to because #
Oh yeah on er er a financial agreement . #
Second hand one . #
Yeah . #
I mean there's no difficulty in getting a cooker . #
Mm . #
Well that's it . #
You could #
I might have one before I go home . #
No . #
Mm , no no . #
I'll have a I might have a sliml er bacardi before I go home . #
Just one . #
I #
Mm it's still extra calories . #
I shall be drinking some tonight no doubt and and eating . #
Yeah please . #
Yes please . #
I shall be partying tomorrow night . #
There was a a house , a bungalow two doors from Stuart's mum . #
And I popped out to the shop on Sunday the second of November and came back totally and utterly bemused to see them putting a christmas tree up and father christmas in the window and fairy lights all over the place . #
On the second of November . #
I mean wouldn't you be absolutely pig sick of them by the first of December never mind christmas . #
Good god . #
Oh well I couldn't believe it . #

Yeah , not not beforehand . #

As far as putting them up too early as well I say they get all dusty and you get sick of looking at them . #
Time a week or so after christmas has come you're you're glad to get them down and out the way . #
And then it looks bare . #
Then you think oh oh it looks bare . #
Wouldn't what ? #
I don't think I have any . #
No , cos I was gonna pay the butchers which I would have had to have changed a note and you said I'll pay . #
All I've got is some coppers for the tin . #
So you'll have to change some money up if you want #
See . #
But I haven't got any darling change . #
Sorry . #
Well either that or she'll have to change you a note up . #

Did I put me king , the ten #
Yeah . #
But I wanted some of me boxes as well I suppose . #
Oh , so I done it wrong ? #
But actually #
I've got six in the box . #
But I didn't know you see , I #
I couldn't work it out . #
I didn't know whether to put two blue queens in or ten things or #
a king and queen . #
In which case had both . #
Mhm . #
Oh god . #
Oh bloody hell . #
It's impossible , I can't do it . #
And them two go together , them two go together and them two go together . #
All of them go together and these two are a pair . #
Exactly . #
I'll have to take a chance won't I ? #
Well I've got to somehow . #
I've gotta #
Mm that won't help me . #
It'd have been better if I'd kept them two . #
Go on I know I've done that wrong . #
Four . #
Oh . #
Oh bloody hell . #
Oh I don't like this , it's not fair . #
You're not playing fair . #
No you're not cos I didn't know what to put in the box . #
Oh yeah not right for me . #
I'd have been better off keeping that one two . #
I had two sixes , two queens one two . #
Well I didn't know . #
Mm that's why I was yeah . #
Yes well I didn't know you see . #
If I don't like playing singles , easy as doubles because you only have to put one in and it's easier . #
I don't think I've got anything . #
I've I've got four . #
Mm nothing in the box . #
Nothing in the box . #
blooming street ahead nearly . #

Seven six five four three #
Well how , I don't bloody well know what to put in it . #
I haven't the faintest idea , look three four five six seven eight . #
Oh well it weren't to me cos I probably would have given you the eight #
You know what I've got now anyway so it don't matter . #
Two in there so #
I give you that and it's probably a big mistake . #
But I hadn't any choice . #
Thank you . #
Yeah here we go . #
Oh I've bloody hell , . #
Oh it's my , is it your box ? #
Won't matter will it ? #
Oh what do I do ? #

I know but I don't know how many many is . #
That's three . #
What's the chances of one of them coming up ? #
I don't know how to work it out . #
Look #
Keep them and one of them in case you get another three or a six . #
oh oh oh oh oh #
That's only four though innit you see ? #
No , yeah . #
That's what I said , to do that and hope for a three or a six or another five or a king . #
Two for jacks . #
Oh . #
You know I haven't got it . #
Not enough though . #
You've done it anyway . #
That was quite a good game actually , in the end . #
Didn't I have some bloody funny hands ? #
Awkward hands to work out . #
Threepence I owe you . #
Yeah . #
Mm #
Tut oh ah I can't win no matter what I do . #
Least I know what to put in the box . #
Cos I worked out that was fifteen and there were a picture go . #
Or a three or a six . #
At least I'd erm four five , what two in one . #
You know and that's #
Yeah or a #
But er #
a six or so I knew what , that the nine was no good to me or the #
s six . #
Just th just the turn up I wanted ,or a five . #

He said , come off the chair and all the along the bottoms of the tables and you can write your name in the dust ! #
No but I mean it is . #
Cos I said to Bob , are they managers or what , cos if they're managers surely #
they they get an allowance for somebody to clean and if they've got a cleaner , I mean , they should have sacked them a long while ago ! #
It is it's dirty , there's no other word for it . #
It is it's disgusting , I mean it could be a nice pub that really the gardens are about this high in weeds . #
It isn't now how long's he been #
there ? #
We wouldn't go in at a , I wouldn't go in at all , but Stuart's mum used to live right opposite and she likes to go in occasionally cos she sees all her old friends , she don't see them very often so she likes to go in and see all her old friends , otherwise I don't #

He wanted me have a go , but I'm not no I I'll have a go another time when it's quiet , not when there's be been showing me . #

I'll just get a few #
I was #
er #
you know It was quite good fun really , I enjoyed it . #
Erm #
What are you doing at the moment ? #
isn't it ? #
Yeah . #
Drink it straight down . #
Yeah . #

Oh . #
Yeah . #
I know . #
Yeah . #
Oh . #
Oh just as long as they're #
oh that's nice #
then . #
I see . #
I'll have a Bacardi now please , one before I go home . #
Yes please . #
I'm trying to be very good but er I can only so much of that ! #
I'm allergic to it . #
I heard #
Oh I get it all over , terrible . #
Mm . #
I can't touch orange . #
Luckily I'm not over #
keen . #
I just get , if someone #
if you sat there peeling an orange and some of the juice squirted on me , I'd I'd blister . #
Sore it gets #
I wouldn't dare eat them I'd be in a terrible state . #
Yeah . #
Yeah #
Yeah same as #
this . #
I know a little boy who had that #
Yes . #
Yeah . #
Funny innit ? #
It's years since I've dared have an orange yeah if I eat an orange , I'd damn well #
get blisters over me wherever it touches try and eat one , I'd have them on my tongue and in my mouth and everywhere . #
Just daren't touch them . #
Yeah . #
Only look what I've er #
I probably could , it depends if it's got real orange in cos when I went to work at Lockwoods at Lymestock #
we had some carbonated drinks factory I said well they they asked me if I'd go over there and I said I can't work in there I'm allergic to oranges and he said oh bloody or I've never seen an orange , don't worry , you know it's all chemicals ! #
Orange flavours that's about as much as what we'd ever get in here ! #
There's no blooming so I mean I could drink something like that , which is purely chemical and never seen as li a damn orange That's all it is is flavourings and water and #
sugar and #
But yeah , but the pure orange I wouldn't dare to touch Cos they're some of them canned orange drinks are #
are not orange , they're all #
Yeah #
that's it . #
And if someone just squirted , just #
squirted on , that would be it #
Yeah . #
It's the only time Stuart does , if they're away . #
He loves it , but he wouldn't have one at home . #
I've offered him , I mean it's not as if #
it's not there , but he just won't #
he says no I can't , it's a special and when you're on holiday it's different you can sit down and enjoy it #
and relax and #
and er if you're going to work or something you don't er #
Yeah . #
He does when they're on holidays #
stay and have brea #
Didn't really want it . #
Yeah but #

Brought it in . #
Oh yes . #
Sweet ha ha ha ha . #
Oh . #
Mm . #
Wh whe where we go in Yorkshire that Stu Stuart usually gets them out of the Cameron the the pub one , where we go and stay and or they're dealing with you know what he's like with his deal , he knows if it's there it's usually good fun so , you know . #
Oh . #
So #
I'd just as soon stay in a small pub #
rather than wholesale outlet . #
Well like Black Bull at Boroughbridge you mean ? #
I mean I know it's a beautiful old pub the meals are absolutely wonderful ! #
But , well it was only a pub #
I mean t to for the cooking that they did for a pub it was and we had duckling and salmon , poached #
salmon and #
wonderful meals and she she was a real good #
good cook #
I mean the only th there was only about twelve or fourteen that she could cater for fo for a meal , you know , she had her dining room #

Yeah . #
An tha and that was about it but #
I mean they were really lovely meals ! #
look after you so well #
Mm . #
Yeah . #
No you see I'd I I'd #
prefer to try #
if I'm going out for a meal I prefer to try something different , you can have a steak at home , I mean #
so , but I wouldn't go and get salmon #
or duck , yeah and say #
Yeah . #
Me I'd rather try something different . #
So wh why have so why go out for a meal and and eat something that you #
you can have at home anyway and #
That's what I like about #
Raw ? #
yeah #
I I rather have a #
starter or a #
or #
I always have the main meal and the sweet ,Stu Stuart has a starter and the main meal . #
Cos I I love the sweets see #
then I ca #
then I can't , if I eat the starter then the main meal I do I can't eat the rest . #
I love the sweets . #
Week you go . #
No I on a weekly then you might have four or five dishes on it #
and then the next week she'll have #
you know , another lot . #
I mean she does everything , you know , burgers you know , stuff that people want , I mean that's bar meals , but to sit in the dining #
room you have #
proper meals . #
If you wish . #
So #
so she did I think it was four se special meals then when we were there there was salmon , duckling #
Sit in there . #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
When you're eating , no #
that's right , I know #
Yeah . #
right . #
No . #
She don't want to be , #
Stuart's the one for a cook marvellous , Stuart is should have been a chef , he should smashing cook . #
Smashing cook , he is . #
I'm not that bad but Stuart can beat me if he gets in the cooking mood , . #
Mhm mm . #
Same time that's the #
Hot and #
It's getting used to #
Who won then ? #
Who won Stuart ? #
Oh getting a clever devil isn't he ? #
That's it . #
and #
You're telling me you're playing la , he told me he plays in ladies teams , I bet you all had great fun , watching them women bending over table . #
Yes that's what that's what I said #
to him , in the #
tight trousers he kept saying . #
Said he ain't going no more . #
Said he ain't going no more , if I find out it's a ladies team that's it he'll be banned . #
No thank you . #
Changing the subject quick . #
Oh . #
Yeah . #
As long as she's #
, yeah . #
Mhm mm mm mhm . #
there maybe . #
No , she don't . #
Why should she ? #
Why should #
you put up with it ? #
I mean it's your home as well as your #
pub innit ? #
They'd have a fit . #
No that's it #
Stuart don't like it in front of a woman . #
That's it . #
well we used to come in here before went and that hasn't been the same at night cos it got a bit so he'd say excuse me , love there's ladies present here can't have that . #
Felt the same way and he said as you can see Ann's here we won't be having no more of that . #
They shut up . #
Mind you , like I said Stuart I was in the bar and and if I didn't like it I could of gone in the lounge so I mean they couldn't ha he wouldn't have it . #
Yeah just cos you're in a a an open #
plan . #
show up #
and said they were sorry you know . #
It'll be alright after that but #
they said he was a just a really . #
But I mean he ju he just stares at you . #
No . #
Yeah she should pay for it and all . #
Yeah . #

Only I won't be around to live to see it . #
Well when you're eighty odd I doubt it dear . #

Wrote to Lloyds Bank telling them , that if they try and keep #
You're usually sir , madam and esquire on the bank things . #
Are you satisfied with their service ? #
No Stuey , it's not very exciting by the sound of it . #
Yeah , could of been , yes . #
I thought it was just a or something which I'd a owed stodge #
god knows why you're at #
When did you go and get that ? #
What's the time Stuart ? #
Please . #
Right . #
Near enough That's ooh in the oven and the steak's done If it's late I can grill it then you have it when you want it . #
Minute for the sp before I get there . #
Didn't sleep very well did you ? #
No , things going through your head innit ? #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
I know . #
What it's all gonna look like ? #
Will it look nice ? #
Yeah I know . #
As if we were both tossing and turning and #
Bound to be like that . #
Bound to be like , you know , a little bit #
Did you ? #
It's the #
Aren't you tired now ? #
When I did go to sleep , I went I don't remember but it was a long while . #
Got it out the way , just to warn him , there's no po point him getting all these letters about mortgages , you know they're who you are or well can't do that , can you ? #
No , there's a packet in my bag . #
A whole packet , yeah . #
My bag the weekend in case you were in trouble . #
I'll have them on Friday , if necessary but Thursday I get you a packet down . #
Yes , I know We're going to be investigating some carpet shops while you're signing on the dotted line , won't need me in there now will you ? #
Really . #
Moral support well you need that other stuff first #
side . #
No well I'll go with you , if you want . #
And I'm hoping that they get that letter , you seeing them weekend . #
And you're not working Saturday morning , instead of going to work late we can go a bit early and do a bit of shopping ourselves . #
Before Monday . #
Don't know if I could do the electric one definitely Guess that's about whether the I'd like one of them , one of them and yeah but we don't know when it can be delivered , so we can't do it that early you can't say yeah but but er we'll let you know , well we can so it's there that's what we wish , they'd the bills go and we'll let you know when you can be the keys can be available for you to put it in . #
Mm , I know . #
Yeah cos it's much easier than dragging all #
They've gotta send for . #
I don't wanna get carpets without you with me cos you have to live with them as well . #
Yeah but they won't be exactly the same in shops . #
Similar but not the same . #
Oh and I'd rather #
I'd rather go in the shop and see it cos sometimes , especially if it's got a pattern on turn out to be better than the catalogue cos when it comes , it don't look the same , and then the same colour do you ? #
Cos a reproduction's never perfect is it ? #
In a photograph it's never true then you go in a shop and what you see is what you get . #
carpet #
for a bathroom , I mean neither were very good . #
Well I don't #
So two colours . #
Yeah , I'll go and put that together those #
What ? #
No . #
What's it say ? #
That was . #
Well , that's all that ready just popped it in the oven . #
Are you ready #
well . #
Yes . #
All seems to have happened in such a rush . #
There's so much to think about . #
No because we wouldn't have got that fifteen hundred pounds they hadn't agreed to do us a service . #
I wanna get it through . #
Yes . #
He must have been looking for bathroom . #
Otherwise he wouldn't have accepted without any #
No . #
Yeah . #
Yeah well he said a thousand because he knew he could get he'd carpet that er er for a thousand . #
That's why he mentioned that sort of figure if all you wanted was a or , a fridge , a cooker and some carpets , you could do that easy on a thousand . #
Yeah . #
Gotta be careful when I'm cooking , I shall have to have the window open me I've got smoke alarms all over the place darling which is good in a flat . #
Mm but erm you get steam up in the cooking area and er #
Ding a ling a ling a ling a ling a ling #
You think bloody hell , what the hell's going on here ! #
There is a smoke alarm in the airing cupboard in case that overheats and there's one #
No . #
There's supposed to be one in the airing cupboard . #
Case the airing cupboard overheats , but it says on the spec one airing cupboard when it , will have , hot water tank and smoke alarm . #
In case you let it hot water tank starts playing up . #

Oh yeah Fire services , recommend everybody to have it #
especially in an upstairs flat . #
It's a and plenty of warning to get out . #
That's why he's had them put in cos the flat's more than house in in the only thing is I would say to you to let a heat from the kitchen and the #
smoke and steam they do tend to keep going . #
Ha ha and everybody starts running out the door and all you're doing is frying some breakfast or something ! #
Burning the toast ! #
I'll be dissuaded buying a pussy cat altogether now won't I ? #
Once it starts that upstairs flat . #
With a deadlock on the front door so he can't get in and out or anything . #
Mm , no they wanted to be in , but you not hear it no I think pussy cat is gonna be a no no about us you'll have to . #
Looks like a #
I think I would just about give up over that . #
, but I mean a downstairs one wouldn't be quite so bad #
but those stairs won't like , I mean , I wouldn't like it that if it was just indoors forever would you , honestly ? #
It's not fair on an animal even . #
Cats or something . #
No I know and I don't fancy litter trays and things either . #
Yeah but but not while we're there , I don't think it's must get another budgie sometime get Steven's budgie or something . #
Definitely is up here , it's #
not fair on a animal as I say , he's bound to be trapped at the bloody door for hours before anybody come in and #
No . #
The stair carpets . #
Hadn't thought of that , well that's gonna be noisy anybody coming home late at night wooden stairs . #
Well fling that rug out the hall it'll be a start , bung it out on the landing for a start . #
So at least there's something up there at the doors to wipe your feet on and what not , but I'm not splashing out on stair carpet until somebody else has been #
in as well . #
Well there's something that will have to be will be #
needed eventually . #
But you come home late at night when people are asleep #
and you lot , and stroll in after half past four an five o'clock in the morning , you know , you do . #
If I don't get up till nine , it's a bit #
It won't be very nice so we'll have to just manage as for as the stall light the hall lighting who is responsible for that ? #
Cos the staircase has gotta be lit , I mean you can't get #
I mean who who cares for the electricity ? #
It's gotta be on someone's electric hasn't it ? #
You can't , one flat's not gonna be responsible for having the hall lit up all night long which it will be and then length of time , unless it's on a timer switch . #
I know . #
I mean with #
Steven's flat the council are responsible for lighting hallways but we th they're not #
They must be on some sort of a one of the meters or somebody's meter or somewhere . #
That smells mm mm . #
Mm mm ! #
Well that's gonna be alright I don't understand why every time #
Give it another ten minutes , make sure the top the bacon #
Nice . #
Er yes . #
Yep that's fine . #
I think we need to a empty the ashtray darling . #
Or do we get a new car ? #
Yeah let's have it . #
Bless me . #
got a cold , you better go home . #
Yeah definitely poorly mother's sick for a fortnight . #
Won't use so much petrol from now on anyway , to get to work will we ? #
Oh won't it ? #
Oh , use more petrol , I see . #
Mm . #
Oh . #
Ah sorry won't do it perhaps you turn li little bit there . #
No cos they'll still be popping out to the an will we not ? #
Yeah so do I don't wanna lose touch with them now . #
Yes , that's it some odd nights we was on our way home from work , it's going up to the even when we're on earlies and and weekends we can go there can't we ? #
It's not that far there along the bypass there , it's not that far away is it ? #
That's what I mean , it's not #
So it's not a lot of lot of bother the only thing is that i you gotta drive in town rather than drive on country lanes to get to the main roads little bit more dangerous as far as getting caught is concerned ha ! #
Yep walk in the town if you're going #
if you want a good drink , doesn't matter does it ? #
Can you get through to town there's no through road that way , other end , but couldn't is there any short cuts you get into town that way ? #
No ? #
Is it ? #
Ah I just wondered , I mean I don't know out that way . #
That's going the wrong way dear . #
Not sure of where he is mm mm . #
He's forgotten something . #
And come back again . #
No I didn't know if you could walk if there's any short cuts if you wanted to walk into town . #
I jus just wondered , not knowing the area as well as you do wondered if there was a little #
Do you end up sort of metal box end ? #
Well #
Yeah I know that's what I mean , if you get walking down there you'd come to all the factories I presume . #
Mm mhm . #
Mm . #
I didn't know if there was lanes going off into town ,whe or oh I don't know . #
I shall have to be looking out for a second hand bike-y just for the occasional trip into town without getting Stuey out of bed so I be a bit more independent than just bothering you all time , if I just wanna pop anywhere . #
No I know my but it it'll give me a little independence as well will it not ? #
Yeah it's not far is it ? #
It's not far from Rainbow really , to do you main shopping if you in a hurry , is it ? #
Yeah not far . #
The other way , no . #
Yeah yeah that's what I mean it we're nearer to the both of them really . #
Always fascinates me that , a little person driving a big car . #
It looks very odd , yes , when the heads hardly go above the the seat , you don't have is it a kid driving or a an adult or is anybody driving ! #
Or is it just trundling off on its own ! #

and help him do that . #
No I mean we wouldn't ask him if he's not well . #
He hired a van , how much it was . #
See if we can borrow one from somewhere . #
No . #
They wanted #
too much money . #
They wanted too much money #
just bought one there . #
So #
Or somebody , you know give them #
twenty quid or something , if they'll me theirs or #
Cos I'll be having a new three piece #
so I shan't take that and #
carpets we're #
having new and #
I mean another thing #
They wanted too much money for it , I mean we paid three thousand in rent and that was supposed to come off it , he still wanted #
the same a as what Ann had for theirs I mean we've had it for a year and paid all that rent . #
So we decided it weren't a good enough buy re he #
wouldn't knock he wouldn't come down at all and then the everywhere else were knock some off if the market's not very good at the moment . #
So we've got quite a bit off this one #
so so we went u #
Yeah , it is it's near enough to town but out of it . #
Out the way . #
We been li that's what we've doing , house hunting . #
Yesterday we made our mind up to have that one and we've set a sign some papers so #
it's all going ahead they want us in as soon as possible that's how we got such a good #
thing but my #
rent's up the sixteenth of December and there's #
no point in paying another months rent . #

she's quite happy . #
I mean that'll go towards solicitors fees . #
I mean I wouldn't ask him if he isn't very well . #
I say I don't think I can a manage to l help Stuart lift the washing machine #
and the big wardrobe it's #

it's gonna cost us to move . #

bargain , you see . #

I've only got a thousand Sainsburys to do and we'll be all done by #
or not long after so why have they been doing that if there's nothing much to do ? #
Why is John ,and Ann and Paul and Teresa and all them been on that trussing line , and Merv . #
Oh yeah , but I wonder if we're gonna all finished by nine o'clock and you'll have us all in your ha ha ha #
Well we would , but we'll live . #
Not much else to do . #
Well , with all the trussing the might carry on trussing and get that done . #

Is there enough in that cup ? #
See you at my mums . #

So we got a thousand letters to do that's all , well it might be over I don't know they're but #
Do they ? #
Yeah #
Ooh ! #
They've all finished early , they've unless they came in late with the order or something , extras or something . #
Mm , cos somebody hadn't up wrong then Where is she ? #
No that's what I say if calculated wrong #
Mm #
Yeah , little bit over . #
Yeah and that's . #
I've go I've been in work some of these #
Yeah and we're supposed to do all of them #
you see put John , one of us start trussing early but we didn't need one Ann's got another team in the other room doing it . #
I'll I'll be finished before long . #
Well , about another hour . #
Yeah #
they didn't do them ! #
Actually they perhaps let us go back on them then #
tomorrow #
You mean go back on them , cos we didn't finish them cos there was three pallets and we didn't even do two . #
We didn't finish them cos they wanted to start trussing early #
and then Ann started that little line trussing you see , so we've done it between us but I've got a thousand to do and she's got about four d t #
I bet you feel like a now ,give them in when they can't truss them dunno . #
We give them in when they came trussed with the though we had before . #
Well , with the two lines going yeah would have been about right then but see , John I don't suppose he realised Ann was gonna fetch all the people out of here there and everywhere and start that up . #
Well I pa #
No #
no so she started trussing , helping me . #
I suppose that's what John thought , we might not get them done , start early and get them finished #
He just said leave the Bird's Eye pies and start your trussing . #
Yeah . #
and T D C when we come in , I mean they hadn't checked any goujons , they hadn't checked any of the fillets . #
There was two baskets of bones . #
Jeanie and Hilary are doing that . #
Yeah tha yeah and I mean yeah We'll definitely be finished in about an hour #
Won't be till ten anyway . #
If we get in trainee . #
Never mind you got as far as you could ,so at least you got that far Deirdre . #
Yeah . #
Yeah it's just nice to know if there is something wrong #
isn't there ? #
Any #
time er , put it right . #
Yeah . #
Er yeah #
yeah you can #
yeah that's it . #
You know what he's like #
that sort of person #
Who's that behind ? #
Peter , David , didn't they and #
Over Cook's side , he only lasted about three more weeks , I mean #
Glenys has been doing it ever since ,han #
Ian only last about three or four weeks , he was gone . #
Yep . #
He wouldn't d , he didn't wanna do it , did he ? #
He said he wanted office . #
You know , I remember him #
coming in cos John #
said well you do what you did with him and show showing him how to do #
all the jobs , he said I don't want to learn them I've come to supervise , he said I don't wanna get mucky ! #
I couldn't believe my ears ! #
I said Oh ! #
So why John said would I show you how to truss nice , I don't wish to learn thank you ! #
Yeah he said I #
He said he'd come to supervise , not to do it ! #
I've no no wish to learn it thank you . #
I said , well fair enough , I'll go to do something else ! #
See John when he we as soon as John arrived he said to me will you take me he said , I don't wanna learn it proficiently but I want to know every job so I then took #
up and down every line . #
and i and when this Peter come he said well you know , just show him everything and like you did me and he said he didn't wanna know thank you . #
Yeah he said #
he said I come to sup be supervisor he said , I don't know , I don't wish to learn all that ! #
Well can you supervise if you don't know what the hell's going on ! #
That's what John said , he wanted lo #
so he good , a rough idea #
Mm . #
Yeah . #
Well that's certainly my feeling I'm naturally disappointed but it I say , you did well and i er #
No point is there ? #
That's it . #
That's it . #
No I'm listening to them ,I'm doing a project . #
I'm taping all your conversations anyway #
not in the factory I didn't li , I could of asked Tom . #
Everywhere I go . #
It's all anonymous , you're not e e e nobody know who it is , it's for it's for a dictionary and they want new words that are commonly used and they don't want and all old words that never get used it'll be dropped in the next edition of the dictionary . #
No it's er I'm taping all my conversations I have with everybody for a week . #
Oh yeah you you have to erase it but nobody's gonna sa , I mean to say , nobody knows who you are , what you've said anyway at all , do they ? #
What ? #
I don't write anything , I send the tape in , they don't know who you are you're just a it's just a voice speaking nobody knows who you are or anything , they only know me nobody else . #
Why ? #
Who's who's gonna know when they lis to compile a dictionary and what words you use who's gonna know who you are ? #
That's all well if you want it erased , I will I mean it's up to you entirely #
but #
Ay , I I've I've said that to them I said well you might have , if I take to work you'll certainly hear some they said tha well if that's common usage words that's what it has to be and words that we never use at all that are in dictionaries and nobody ever uses them , they want to know common ordinary speech words that we use . #
Ey I told them , I said you might hear some right a I was in the pub Saturday night , mind I did tell afterwards and he's ever such a nice bl fella he comes over door #
so he's killing himself laughing I I've got to tell you Ron , I've been taping he said I don't give a monkeys you tape what , he said let them all hear , they'll all be able to pass it round ! #
Are you ready ? #
I said I got a good joke for you here ,started to laugh and he said I ain't said it yet ! #
Well I didn't tell him it he can wind it just erase it I mean I don't I said I'm alright love just to do all that , I've got twenty tapes ! #
Someone asked me whether , I thought it'd be a bit of fun But as I say nobody knows who you are , or what you've said or anything so it doesn't matter does it ? #
It's the words they're interested in , not what you actually say and the #
words that yo people are using I've got now , so I don't even think of it , it's just there and I just talk normal that's the idea really and if anybody asks you what you're doing , then you tell them and it and you say , if you don't wish to be on it , well #
wipe it off but nobody knows who you are anyway so what difference does it make ? #
Unless it got personal , I'd turn it off , I mean I mean when we went the estate agents and solicitors #
sort of sit there putting what the solicitor said in your #
turn them off #
Or if anybody told me , I mean I wouldn't and talking in confidence about their private life or #
just turn them off , and that's it Just normal conversations the words that people use in common different areas of the country , with accents and th dialect and one thing and another it's for the Oxford English Dictionary the next edition . #
We've got to take that specification thing with us this morning , it will might help #
Seven foot six by seven kitchen , plus units so you would get two metres it's not very much at all #
I know it was fourteen by nine foot something , I'm up to nine , ten which is exactly which she said #
They'd rather do that than having to piece twelve quarter then you've got to have join the bit then all the pattern that will be matching exactly er you'll use more . #
to cover er a metre #
you have to cos they can't do nothing with the bits , they give you all the bits #
Well yeah you do , you can't end up quite a lot of it #
suppose they have to match the pattern otherwise it does look quite silly which is what they've done in here , they haven't matched the patterns that wall there is it , it ain't joined #
walk in , here , this is the end of the where they all went too and that piece is a piece cut off and it's not , it's gripped together underneath #
but it just knocked the cotton sticks out , just put the piece down , there's no way I'm gonna do this , so it doesn't matter does it ? #
That's definitely , this is the raw bit and that's a bit of the end of the cut-off , probably have the landing or something can use the rest of it through #
Bedroom has got a , it's in an alcove so you'll have that piece where it's bottom of the stairs or wherever , I mean , the , stand on slip mats you're gonna get that because of the , the airing cupboard is part of the hall , part of the bedroom and nothing you can do about that one , and on the wall it's just gonna be one length of each room ,cut off ,perfect , , actually they don't normally do that , they usually just the measurement , cos I not , never understood why they don't have measurements there all standard , you guarantee use the one strip of another roll #
The new houses are pretty standard why don't they convert them , you know , you guarantee if you use six rolls of wa wallpaper you'll need one to seven , something silly like that #
Need to buy , you have done . #
To do underneath the window or on top of the door or some silly thing like that #

Don't treat me like a naughty schoolgirl . #

What's for lunch dear , well , ready #

Are they ? #
Oh mm . #

David #
Yes , same type of thing as mm , mm #
, I don't think he could , that's three hundred and ninety nine oh #
Nice isn't it ?very good , it's quite nice isn't it ? #
I'm more than happy with something like that . #
It's that #
a microwave . #
We've got nine hundred pounds approximately , after the cooker and the fridge . #
Five hundred pound for carpets , leaves four hundred pound , two hundred pound for suite and the microwave #
Yep . #

approximately , you've got four hundred pound really to play with ,approximately four hundred pound left over , say five hundred pound , six hundred for electrical goods . #
Pardon ? #
Yep . #
About six hundred . #
Six hundred for them two and five hundred for carpets . #
Eleven , you've got four hundred pound , you got so it's a good second hand one or a cheapy no , well it would be a cheapy I told him most of them around about seven hundred and ninety nine #
A reasonable one , I mean you can go up to two thousand for a good one , but a reasonable one you wouldn't get nowadays under seven hundred and ninety nine #
Oh yeah , definitely I think #
rather than go second , #
got #

Two or three years on the others . #
I don't like , just , I couldn't be like Deirdre and , put me overall on and in go in without collecting me thoughts getting myself together Deirdre never arrives till about three minutes before she gets in the door , she's putting her overall on saying come on ladies , its time were , but she's putting her overall and on , and they all sit there looking at her and so #
they all sit there looking at her and saying bloody hell she ain't got her own hat on , we've been here quarter of an hour and she walks in the door , takes her coat off and says come on ladies you're suppose to be off your hind by two o'clock , leaving here at two #
I know she's right , but she should , set an example in some ways , mm people are so used to her now they just look at her and carry on talking silly old bugger , you know , , shut up Deirdre I'm don't want to do that , shouldn't be , cos there wasn't much to put on , although they left , left quite a bit off yesterday , they cut short , there was five hundred breast portion short and two hundred oyster eggs , so Deirdre informed me but they injected six hundred too many and four hundred eggs to Tescos all quite ridiculous . #
Pardon ? #
I know but it's just ,waste of time in it ?they'd been better spent to finish the order that they did have , and inject that , ha oh be fair to do that to use though , no doubt they will , pick out all the things we didn't do right bloody should done too many of this or not enough of that #

That's what I'm working on #
Mm #

That's why you suffer with constipation love , because you don't eat no vegetables , you wouldn't need ,laxatives , if you eat veg . #
Yeah there wasn't any when I was #
finished . #
I mustn't be #
What did they #
Jeanie moaning , Lily weeing , she's got a water infection so she's been about to the loo about five thousand times #
Lisa's friend burst into tears in #
she's got problems she's split up with her boyfriend , #
She's also got a little debt behind #
Tony hasn't been paying the bills . #
she's been contributing that's one reason one , she's , discovered other things , this morning somebody turned up apparently they took a loan out #
apparently turned up this morning and they want a hundred pound by tomorrow , and they're coming back tomorrow for it paying him ten pound a week and thought it was gone and he had er none so find a hundred pound by tomorrow and she didn't know where she was going to get it from , she just stood there and burst into tears and run off going on #
but she saw him on the way to work in town , had a bloody great barney with him on the market place on the way to work , just say , she was in there about ten minutes and burst into tears #
dear , , we do , we do tons and tons of it every day #
You wouldn't if you , you wouldn't if you had to deal with it all day long #
It's very expensive . #
Ever so expensive #
Its two pound thirty five for six bits #
or er , half a pound er #
About six , seven pieces #
Two pound thirty five ,half pound #
Yeah there's a lot goes in apart from the chicken there's a heck of lot goes in it in the #
Put cream and the expensive bits , not like the chicken and the time it takes #
So does Stuey and so does Bob , don't you Bob ? #
It's tandoori that he likes . #
I don't like any of them and then when you've seen them all day long it puts you off a bit don't like none of the #
Can't get hold of them . #
Used to get them a lot , but we haven't seen any for ages . #
Hello my darling #
Yep #
Yep and what's the plan of attack today ? #
I'll go and tell the estate agent you'll be a little bit late . #
You go to the solicitor and then I'll see you on the wa , on that part of the shop #
Yeah , on the appointment you could get from the solicitor was #
Get those soon as poss , and I'll go and look in the carpet shop #
find out a few details and I'll meet you back at the estate agents #
or if you're out early , well forms sign , so you might be a little while and if you've got , oh we're going to mum's then aren't we ? #
Said it's still very early , we could pop to Leveringham , oh we don't know where it is we might have some details in this , what we gotta do with my money . #
I shouldn't think until you at least gone to the mortgage he's gonna give us authorization to spend his money . #
I'm not gonna use authori to go and spend one thousand , five hundred pounds and it all falls through #
after we've spent it #
And what we having for lunch ? #
Taking fish to mum's or find something when we get there ? #
No #
If we're gonna be late , we'll have to buy the fish , cos we won't have time to cook anything . #
Yeah , yes I'll just have a piece of fish and you can have fish and chips , we won't have time to cook anything will we ? #
Depending on the time . #
Depending on how long we're gonna have to cook it , well I mean , , oh well what I can still you'll have to fish and chips #
still you perhaps have to buy fish and chips #
cos Ann hasn't got a lot of pennies anyway #
hasn't he ? #
Oh bloody hell , we're poor streaks then dear . #
Bloody hell ,then , it's chicken #
It can go in microwave . #
Go in the microwave that's all , I ain't got much money at all , I didn't have that much left , I bought mum's cigs and that bit of shopping the other day and that was the end of that we will survive . #
Even if we only have a tin of soup , that will do me . #
Yeah but you can't get it till tomorrow there is a little bit in the bank , but not a lot , go wait till tomorrow and we must get to Chester Hill today . #
I like that , I don't like Jason Donovan but I quite like that , do you ? #
I don't like him , I never have but I , try not ,quite pleasant isn't it ? #
I've never liked anything else he's had ,particularly have you ? #
But I just find that pleasant listening . #
Pleasant and nice songs I suppose I don't know it's just , quite like it , it's now big , it's about the most thing he's ever recorded that I have liked , #
I've absolutely never been a Jason Donovan fan before Christmas number one's going to be Bohemian Rhapsody which I do like you know #
yes , it's already going to the top of the charts to be number one for Christmas all the other Christmas songs are #
yep #
that will do . #
Well , I understand its reasoning , but , I think if you've been very hard pushed list , with this money , don't you ? #
Considering I'm not supposed to have that cos I had it when Ann and bought it not sure if it's now are you ? #
upstairs and #
market #
I'm not thinking it object the sitting tenants #
as it stands at the moment . #
Mm . #
See here , they're gonna get thirty six for it as it stands put it on the market as #
Might even two years . #
Oh that's it , that's why they're coming down , that's why are quite pleased to see us dear , especially at this time of the year , not many people will buy Christmas time , think oh we'll wait and go and get Christmas over and the spring and #
You can get two bedroom #
Well #
I'd better get some clothies on cause a bit of a stir round the estate agents , naked from the waist down ,darling #
What that's ten minutes slow Just a-f-bout done all your paper work on them teams #
got a he's coming tomorrow you know , got the bird as well ain't we , that's why I got up early to I , go through deeply objective . #
it's completely anonymous number you know it's only to be on that , said I'll wipe it off then , you bloody well won't , I think he wants to tell people before he can say very wrong , could say something personal ,if it was personal , no longer it , no you weren't personal to you , but I'm quite happy to arrange it if you wish , no , no , no , no , no , , I shouldn't have to tell you not to take my points in full , there we go it's driving me doing that in the factory having without people's permission , I want to know , I ask permission if I'd er wanted to as a without being asked to do it , I would of gone and seen personnel and asked , I would not of dreamed of doing it in a work's situation unless I was asked , say anything personal I'd turned it off not that it , apart from me and Stuart #
apart from me and Stuart there's nothing personal on it really , we went me and er telling me about her problems I only put that on a tape do you ? #
you know , anything personal like that you turn it off don't you ?not that they know or care whi anyone's personal problems anyway , they don't know who we are #

Yeah , but #
yeah #
the person have a private conversation and let someone say it to me and it , what they , problems it's not something that you wanna be on somebody else's to listen to is it ? #
You just don't do it , you know its anonymous . #
Deirdre's the only person that's erm got one I on there #
Well #
I suppose I had better make a move to get some clothes on you think ? #
No won't go nowhere that I do #

Yes it will be good , I hope so , I'm getting nervous now . #
Yeah #
Cup of tea #
I'm a few minutes #
Monday , Tuesday , Wednesday and Thursday afternoons , and evening and er #
It's house Sunday ,out Christmas at least it will be a bit more that was the instead and you and I sleep on the settee . #
turf her out on the bed she might sleep with me and you sleep on the settee or would be a bit better than two beds than the settee , an extra bed space for her mum's house too much for over Christmas , that's not fair she's not all over the place . #
about moving , I chest some things , she won't be there , I'm not taking it all up there . #
She got I don't fancy that at all , sleeping in the to her garage looking my things , #
It 's all his stuff in the garage , that belongs to oh #
exactly , it don't sound very good does it ? #
Cor , he's low , bloody hell #
What have you lost ? #
Oh we won't go far without them . #
I lock the door you lock them in ?on your knee . #
And off we'd jolly well go . #
Broke my nail look at that . #
It looks horrid doesn't it ? #
I caught it on a rack in the #
It was hanging on so I had to take it off they are a bloody nuisance them racks you know , dangerous #
It's a wonder people haven't had serious injuries from them really . #
Don't know we get away with it they want the whole lot bloody scrapping and the new lot all the rust ones , there's hardly one decent is there ? #
At least , yeah , I should think nine tenths of them would go , very there's yesterday's winner darling . #
Still trotting along . #
I got ride on a horse , poor horse with me on it #
There's heavier people than me that ride , jump jockeys are nearly as heavy as me that ride . #
No , she's #
She's not fat but she's a big lady like me . #
Yeah yeah , she's a big lady like me , solid . #
Yeah jockeys are eleven stone aren't they , er jump jockeys jump jockeys are #
Yeah ,and going over jumps and god knows what else which one's quite a way really isn't it ?it's quite comfortable eleven , eleven and a half , eleven stone over jumps innit ? #
Is it ? #
do they have weights do they jump jockeys , #
I think I quite enjoy a ride yeah . #
Did you like horses , you don't fancy getting on the back of one ? #
Oh , thought you would . #
you are a large , but #
Especially this one it does say , it will have to be a bloody great stallion wouldn't it ?but er ,I think it will be quite enjoyable . #
Wash the curtains today in the pub Oh god , I got a frog in me throat . #
Where you going to park ? #

No , #
I can't understand why people who do , who work in town don't use that one really . #
Pardon . #
Oh I don't know , cos there's a hell of a lot of people parking , same cars in that multi-storey in there . #
can if you want , in the it's not that far to go around and use one for the whole day . #
Pardon . #
Yeah , that gets pretty full weekends but I don't like that one every week in The Standard there's always a , you know , this break in , that break in and #
I know , but that one seems worse than anywhere , isn't it , every week you know stolen out of the car park car broken into , I mean who's , I can't imagine with all them cars in there that nobody ever seems to see anything . #
Or they do , and turn a blind eye . #
Yeah #
I think a lot of people are just , you know , I'm not getting involved in them , they might belt me one , walk away , anyway you can't blame them , sad , people can't , people can't say it were you and your boy , you know , leave that , leave that alone or else I'll go and get a policeman , the fear of them #
belting them one . #
They're gone #
seen so much of it that it , that somebody will see some of it but then , well maybe there , and he didn't really erm , you know , you get out of it quick . #
Yeah , cos they don't want to get involved and they're frightened of the consequences . #
more police statements and probably hours police stations #
that to find out that you shopped them they just as liable to put a brick through your window , or belt you one , or damage your car next time they see it . #
So you can't blame people in that respect really . #

Yeah #

I say , I've got a lounge , bedroom , the hall , and the bathroom and I've got about seven hundred pounds and that's about it , so erm #
Right , I'll be back #

I don't think so , no thank you very much #

Probably , don't tell the tax office what you earn anyway , I #
He just brought his things . #
Yeah ,oh god I don't understand it me , but erm #
They must be used to that , or got out of practice . #
Yeah , cos he must of dealt with blooming all the sign here , I remember signing , he signed , I signed , he signed , witnessed it and witnessed yours , remember ? , he must be quite used to it #
Mm , yeah . #
Yeah , they do . #
Yeah , and it's all held up #
for one bit of paper . #
We want it done as soon as possible to #
No . #
Mm , mm . #
Fine . #
We just #
Yeah . #
Seventh of January if we've got it #
Bye #
No . #
No I'm not either . #
I'm not either . #
hard . #
Oh fine . #
Well subject to him getting the mortgage . #
He's signed er for everything and seen the solicitor . #
We've just got to see if the #
We've brought some fish and chips . #
You didn't want any did you cos you're going to Vera's ? #
That's what we thought otherwise we'd have brought some . #
Not unless you want to sit at the table do you ? #
I don't mind . #
Wherever you want to sit . #
Yeah we've just got now wait for solicitors an an and the mortgage . #
Yeah he's been to see him . #
Yeah . #
So that's all arranged and now it's just waiting for everything to #
Well the mortgage people have said a couple of days #
then we'll know whether he's got it or not . #
I mean all the papers won't be through but they can tell us whether it's #
alright . #
And then you can exchange contracts solicitor . #
But he said he's got a lot of things to go through before he #
he can advise us so #
We can exchange contracts probably next week some time . #
No , that's it . #
Fine thank you . #
So , it's all up to the solicitors really er their solicitors and and Stuart's solicitors they will get everything s sorted out . #
Yeah . #
Mm . #
Getting exciting now . #
And once we've exchanged contracts then we can have this solicitor's letter for this fifteen hundred pound to go ahead and all this that and the other . #
So we can start deciding what we're having and where . #
It's funny you know , we went to #
No . #
No #
They're trying their best to get it done before christmas , so #
shouldn't be that long . #
Yeah #
Well he's got to ring Mr and see if he if he really pushes for a month's notice well we'll have to just pay another month and stay you know ? #
And if if he doesn't , if he says that's fair enough , well we're erm there's no point in paying another one when that money can go towards something else can't it ? #
He's had to pay forty pound this morning . #
Still have to have a search . #
Isn't it #
ridiculous . #
Even though it's a brand new house and they're not gonna pull it down tomorrow to build a bloody factory on top of it . #
He's had to pay he's got to pay forty pound this morning for a search . #
Solicitors . #
We'll sit here . #
It's alright . #
It's no problem . #
I just want a piece of fish . #
No . #
Just , just put a bit of salt on it for me . #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
No he has to pay , it's forty pound for this search . #
He said there won't #
be no problems as far as he knows . #
He's already dealt with the company so #
They have to do it . #
They have to do it . #
To make sure it's not gonna have a motorway going through in next year or whatever and #
Yeah . #
You have to just sit yeah #
pay up . #
He paid that forty pound anyway , that's #
made a start . #
But at least there's no stamp duty because it's less than thirty three thousand . #
And that's quite a bit of saving cos #
It's thirty three thousand under #
Anything over that . #
No . #
Thirty three now . #
Oh no it's it's #
thirty #
thirty two thousand five hundred . #
Anything under that you don't pay . #
Yeah so they could so they could , didn't have to pay it . #
I mean what is stamp duty ? #
It's ridiculous really isn't it ? #
That's it . #
Why should they have a cut of it ? #
You buy a house and have to pay the government for the pleasure . #
Had a stamp on it , yeah . #
Yeah . #
I don't know whether they do that . #
I know it's quite , the stamp duty can come to a lot of money can't it ? #
Yeah . #
Yeah , you had it out the other day . #
It's a lot of money . #
Well that's it , they just they just see to it all . #
You don't know how many , how much #
No . #
Mm . #
Yeah . #
We signed all the forms anyway so that's something . #
But with his being tied up with a pension he gets twelve thousand pension as well . #
Once he retires . #
Oh yeah . #
It will be yours . #

Yeah . #
You're his next of kin and you're the one on the paper . #
He had to put your name down on it . #
As you're next er his next of kin and you will the property will become yours . #
Oh I don't want as that , I didn't want as that . #
I said a couple . #
Don't matter does it ? #
I say I can't see you saying right he's died tom today , out tomorrow can you ? #
You're his next of kin you see . #
Mm . #
he didn't mention it . #
Your name's on it now . #
Well your name's on it so that's it . #
Yeah but if you're the named person . #
Mhm . #
Sh Sheila's dad . #
And that's the law isn't it ? #
Lovely thank you . #
Your husband would have been entitled to it . #
That's it . #
I'll make it in a minute . #
Yeah it looks nice . #
It's nice . #
I know . #
She's already had a little bit . #
You don't want me any other time , do you ? #

All the house and the , it's all all in motion . #
He hasn't opened it yet . #
And he's applied for his job so . #
New house new job . #
keeps saying to me new house new job new baby . #
No , not possible . #
Oh . #
Mm . #
Better not look at your numbers then . #
Taking your fish now . #

We just had to go up and see him and #
Yeah he's been to solicitor as well . #
He still does . #
You're gonna have to see Stuey now cos Ann's eaten her fish and he's got . #
It was a lovely bit of fish . #
I never had one bone in it , have you ? #
Yeah . #
Mm . #
We don't have it very often . #
I suppose you appreciate it more when you #
We cook it as I say I mean but I don't often go up the chip shop . #
Mm I know . #
I know . #
Well the last time I bought some then it was three pound something for me and you . #
Yeah . #
That's what I paid . #
I just had just over a pound #
of fish and it , it was three pound something . #
Mm . #
No , cos there's a lot of batter #
round it . #
Mm . #
I know . #
It is expensive . #
You see we moan about paying three pound a pound for meat but you pay it for fish . #
It's no different really is it ? #
Oh it was cheap . #
Yeah . #
Mm . #
What did we have last time ? #
Whether we had haddock or something , didn't we ? #
Or plaice , was it ? #
Plaice I think we had didn't we ? #
Something like that I know #
Trout's the cheapest and #
That that's ever so cheap , trout isn't it ? #
It's only two pounds a #
Mm . #
Mm . #
Not that much . #
That's it . #
Mm I do . #
Only the head and the tail and the innards #
and then the rest's all edible . #
Is he alright ? #
Or is he a bit , still a bit #
Oh . #
Try not to talk about it . #
That was , that was li like that day wasn't it ? #
When we were , that Sunday when we all sat here waiting for somebody to say something . #
Everyone waited for Stuart to start and he wouldn't . #
He wouldn't , he wouldn't start the conversation off . #
said to him , say something . #
No , let them say something and nobody said anything at all . #
We , they went in the end . #
Oh yeah , that's nice . #
Yeah it's a nice jumper . #
It's #
It is quite big , but then #
Well , it don't matter does it ? #
I'd rather have it too big than than #
skimpy on him . #
be lovely and warm . #
Mm #
Lovely and warm won't it ? #
She begrudges you every little bit of that . #
Her head goes up and down every time you put a forkful in . #

On your chair already . #
Thought you'd gone . #
Gone . #
What you doing sitting over there ? #
Time you time you were in bed . #
Mhm . #
Take your knife darling #
Is it ? #
Ah . #
I'm sorry . #
No . #
Oh it won't hurt him for once . #
Very , very rare . #
We don't have many chips at all really . #
I'm not a great one for chips and and fish #
I mean I like , if I do fish usually I , I do it myself . #
Yeah . #
No I do . #
I like to do it , there's very few fish that I don't like . #
No . #
It's all batter . #
And it's not cheap . #
It's not a cheap meal . #
I mean you can make a a proper meal for what you #
pay for fish and chips really . #
Mm . #
Occasionally it's just handy isn't it ? #
It's gone gone twelve o'clock . #
By the time we got here and started cooking something it would be rushing to get it eaten so . #
I doubt it . #
Not the way things are #
at the moment . #
It's so quiet . #
We did some of today's #
Never never known ever to be laid off in five years . #
No , I think it's just I think they plan well according er to John yesterday they planned it this way . #
And it was quiet and it it's quiet . #
The they haven't taken the orders for this week and so they can next week it will get busier . #
So that we're all caught up ready for the christmas rush . #
That's what he said . #
They didn't plan a big order book these few weeks before christmas so that everything could get caught up and we're all #
all straight ready for er #
extra orders the week before christmas . #
Cos I said to him I've never known it as slack as this in , in the few weeks before christmas . #
He said oh this year it was planned like that . #
Yeah . #
Cos other years we've been two days behind with orders you know and #
rushing about and everybody working all hours god sends and #
and he said it was planned for this lull beforehand . #
See what more money they want out of him he'll scream . #
Or cry . #
I don't know . #
That's an interesting conversation . #
Mouthful of biscuit . #
He knows I wouldn't have one . #
That's all . #
Good heavens . #
And you said you didn't have , you had loads of wool left . #
Surprising isn't it ? #
That's only just gonna do it isn't it ? #
Oh , is there gonna be enough ? #
Yeah , yeah . #
By the time you #
do the neck and cast off . #
There's only just gonna be enough . #
Just to say we've er #
Mm . #
Not telling us . #
You didn't ! #
It said what ? #
It's private so #
Put in an offer for this house . #
No , we could do with one to keep everything together cos contracts and that you have #
keep safe and solicitor's letters and that . #
So it's now sold subject to contract ? #
That's what it'll have on it . #
Nobody else can have a look at it now . #
No , that's what they put on them now . #
Nobody else can have a look . #
I don't think that , they can't put a better offer in can they ? #
When it's sold subject to contract . #
They can't gazump you at the last minute cos it makes #
that's usually what they write on them isn't it ? #
Sold subject to contract don't they ? #
Yeah . #
Well that will keep everything together . #
No that's fine . #
Mm cos you've got to keep all the bits and pieces together . #
It just says thank you for your you have applied to par apply for this house subject to contract and that's it . #
Like I say that's what they will put on the thing isn't it ? #
Sold subject to contract . #
Well he said a telephone call will just will tell him that won't he ? #
If you come in Monday the tel #
a telephone call will tell you whether you've the papers won't be drawn up but they will be able to tell him on through the phone whether it's okay . #
No . #
I think , he had to give his doctors how long and what illnesses #
Dunno . #
He's had no illnesses or #
Well we give his name didn't we ? #
I mean really anybody can say anything if you don't , if they don't look into it . #
I could say I've never had an illness in me life and whatever can't I ? #
Anybody could s #
Cos otherwise you could say anything couldn't you ? #
You know I mean anybody could say anything . #
I could say no I've never had an illness . #
I mean it wouldn't be the truth but you , if they didn't look into it you could say it couldn't you ? #
And no doubt some people who would try that kind of thing isn't there ? #
If they think it spoils their chances . #
Yeah because this is a pension mortgage you see . #
Oh well . #
You can bump him off now you know , from the fifth of January cos you get thirty thousand quid if you bump him off . #
You do . #
You're his beneficiary . #
So once he's paid the first payment by the fifth of January . #
Ha we'll share it ? #
Yeah . #
You're you're you're the beneficiary of his er hi hi his f thirty thousand pound . #
I'll have to see if I can get some banana skins put on the stairs . #
Yeah , we could go via Bahamas couldn't we ? #
Cruise . #

Yeah . #
Yeah , well then we could sell the flat . #
So we'd still have the money . #
Wouldn't we ? #
Yeah but I mean we'd have a a flat without any any mortgage . #
It would be completely owned by your mum . #
So therefore she could do what she wanted with it . #
You can name he said , who do you wish to name ? #
And he put your name down . #
I mean it doesn't say #
No , it can be anybody I suppose , couldn't it ? #
He put your , he he just put your , you down and that was it . #
So that's it . #
Mm . #
Yeah we'll go that way round . #
To Australia . #
Visit to Australia cos we might as well have a long cruise . #
Mm . #
Better watch your step next time you drink whisky #
few things on the stairs #
Most people are if they've got property aren't they ? #
Yeah , we are #
That's all I I'm hoping #
that Stuart's done the right thing . #
It's him that's signed it . #
Well #
Yeah . #
Well at least he knows with this m mortgage and that , he knows what it's all about . #
It's not like one of us going in and not #
understanding and just signing papers . #
At least he knows and he #
questions and he , he understands it all . #
Which a lot of people would , say they go and sit down there and they say blah blah blah sign here and #
It's what happens because you don't understand all the #
terms and the things they use . #
You don't know what they're on about . #
I mean even today he'd made a mistake on that thing and you spotted it where I wouldn't have done . #
He didn't take tax relief off . #
Cos Stuart will get tax relief and he hadn't put that down . #
But Stuart noticed it straight away . #
No , not many peo you've got I don't know why . #
I don't know why it doesn't crop up because it's cheaper than an ordinary one , so why it doesn't #
Why it doesn't I don't know . #
I don't understand that . #
And not only does #
Well it is as mu it's it's worked out a few pounds cheaper . #
But not only that at the end he's also , as well as the house he's getting a pension as well instead of just the house . #
Well that's it . #
Well er I'd never heard of it . #
I'd never heard of it . #
Pay an average amount of your wage , whatever . #
Yeah that's that's what happens with people now . #
People who are paying seventy eighty pound a month mortgage who've had them for years and then #
Yeah . #
But we've got all that side sorted out haven't we ? #
Er er #
Yeah well that's it , if your wages are only eight quid a week if you're paying a month's wa #
one week of your wages out it's #
has to come out of his bank . #
Every month . #
It'll just be took automatically #
out of your bank , won't it ? #
His money his money will be gone and we'll live on ours , mine . #
So I mean it's just the same whatever isn't it ? #
Oh yeah we'll be alright . #
As I say if they took my wages into consideration they would have let us buy next door even . #
They would . #
I mean it would have been a hell of a lot of #
Well it would have been a hell of a lot of money . #
Well that's it you see . #
But if if I'd have , if we'd have gone joint we'd have had enough #
Seat-y belt on Stuart . #
Okay . #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
Yeah #
Townwomen's Guild . #
Did he know you ? #
Oh . #
But he , did he know who you were ? #

Like me . #
We'll we'll be starving in our garret together darling . #
If it , if if #
So it's #
Yeah if we absolutely #
We'll have to do it . #
Is it hard getting them out ? #
I don't know , or I can't remember . #
You don't want to make a loss if you don't have to . #
Until it's taken out . #
I mean it's not a good investment is it ? #
Speculative . #
It's alright #
Well well well that's it . #
I mean there's safer investments . #
That's what I meant . #
If you wanted to #
It didn't matter so much to you . #
Mm invested them somewhere else . #
No . #
That's one of the things that you don't know about . #
Are they ? #
And you wouldn't be ? #

Laughed his head off and #

belt you one if you don't shut your gob . #
I know I shouldn't have said it but soon as it come out me mouth #

It had come out and I'd said it's what I felt at the minute . #
Taking the piss and w he wouldn't get out the bloody way and I'm trying to get through with that rack . #
Well I could have quite easily hit him last night . #
