What happens if you want to edit it and you've got tabs in , does it make it more difficult ? #

Healthy sensible eating has reached , has reached finic #

You should read through it every so often #
in this ,as more and more people become concerned with their health and the effect of what they eat has on it I'd think about your English in that and how you put it together , that there sentence #

Okay , health conscience , not , it isn't health conscience people , it's health conscious people #
You're conscious of your health not conscience of your health health conscious #

Manana #
Those curtains in there Paula the side , you know that track I repaired the other night #
it's gonna come down again , the we cos you're stacking stuff against it #
But did you notice ? #
It's fallen against it , it's gonna rip it down again #
Yeah , draw the curtains back #
It's like an oven in there #
What about them ? #
Yeah #
Why not ? #
Yeah #
Really ? #
Who's beach huts are they ? #
The people whose they are ? #
Or do they rent them off the Council or what ? #
So the Council are saying although it's yours , the hut's yours , the land is ours #
we want a say in whoever has these #
not , not the price that they go at #
So who's handling the sale then the Council or est cos I've seen these things #
in estate agents #
have you ? #
Yeah #
Yes #
Of buying it from you #
and then they sell it on ? #
They've got to make some money out of that haven't they ? #
Otherwise it's costing you lot over at Southwold a lot of money #
I don't blame them #
Yeah there's that side to it #
Yeah . #
Mm . #
Yeah #
except in your own garden #
it's your property , it's your land it's #
Whereas down at the erm #
down at the erm seaside it belongs to the Council #
Yeah , what a pity #
What's it saying in the paper then about it ? #
Has , it just a report or is it a comment ? #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
I thought , I though Southwold Council was a Conservative Council #
Ah is it Waveney Council that's decided it ? #
District #
Ha , yet the Southwold Parish Council , I've seen it in there , er there's been a some vandalism on the golf course , you know on the common and er #
Yeah it's in there somewhere , and they're complaining , you know the people who play golf , the golf club are complaining , and the , the Council are saying it's the Southwold Council , so maybe it's the Parish Council , they're saying that er yes it's our responsibility this club and we must look after it and we must find the culprits and so on , it's in there somewhere cos I read it this morning #
cos it happened over the weekend digging up holes in the erm in the golf course . #
Yes it's er , I'm sure it's in there somewhere yeah I wonder what will happen then with the beach huts it could be it could be that you've got to get the , you can still sell them private but , and the Council will , will just say yes or no #
Right #
You see , with all their beach huts all the way along the coast , is that , or is it Southwold that they're doing it with ? #
That strip #
yeah #
Yes when the cliffs , when the cliffs collapsed , yeah #
Although they own that bit #
or are responsible for it #
Yeah #
Mm . #
Mm #
but there's , there's a #
a village isn't there really , a small town a village #
Mm , mm #
Yeah , but again there is , there are more houses at Walberswick than there were at East Bra is it Bravance or Badance ? #
Eastern Bramont yeah #
Mm , yeah , yeah they're on about erm , below erm , not Thorpeness , where's the one with the , Orford isn't it , Orford castle #
there's the farmland below the castle you know going towards erm Felixstowe that way , they say the land down there , the farm , that low-lying farmland is very susceptible to flooding and the coast is being eroded #
oh they are , is it our Poll Tax ? #
What have you got ? #
Go on then #
What've you got ? #
yeah #
Two hundred and forty seven a head ? #
Per head , yeah #
that's cheaper than our rates #
I feel sorry for these old folk who are over here though , on the other side of the road , two forty seven for them #
That's what's wrong with it though , isn't it ? #
Mind you there again it's cheaper than it should be because we're paying it on VAT , you know , it , er , they must think we're fools #
Well there's a general election coming up , it's a Tory Council , they're not gonna raise it as , as high as they possibly can are they ? #
But you're paying for it in your tax ,you you'd paid a whopping subsidy on it , it's a big con . #
Well that was , well it should've gone up from that , what did they do with the VAT stuck two and a half percent on it and said there you are we're gonna hold the Poll Tax down , how ? #
By making you pay more on your VAT , so we can knock the Poll Tax bills down , you're still paying for the damn stuff , ah , ha #
why don't this country wake up ? #
I don't know what's happened today I think it's , they've run out of #
out of ink , yeah #
Yeah it must of been a few they'd got through #
It's the biggest con that Poll Tax thing go er the amount going down that this lot have pulled on us and everybody's fell for it hook , line and sinker #
ha #
Look , if , if somebody charges you three hundred pound , and you say that's too much and you complain and they knock it down to two fifty , but they say but we want you to pay fifty pounds on something else , extra , do you think the two fifty's fair , eh ? #
No , well that's all they've done #
there's about six erm , six sheets in it ain't there ? #
There er , more like ghost printing #
Sounds like Marks and Spencers there #
forty nine pounds , ninety nine #
Yeah , we won't charge you a pound for this we'll charge you nineteen and eleven #
it's under ten pound , yeah nine pounds ninety nine #
Yeah #
But was it Woolworths or Marks who had that little slogan , was it , nothing , not a was it not a penny , nothing more than a penny or not a thruppence #
Yeah go on #
Sixpence a bucket #
Mm #
Woolworths for sixpence #
and could've gone round the corner for #
See there's , there's the con again you see , it's the same thing , you can convince people they're do they're doing brilliantly and charge them more #
Well Marks and Spencers look at #
Do you ever see a price in Marks and Spencers that doesn't have ninety nine P on the end of it ? #
It must cost them more in time in getting that penny out you know #
till yeah , crazy , well look at the erm , the price of sugar the other day you were talking about that , what was it , fifty odd P ? #
And in the supermarket it's what about ? #
Sixty eight , yeah , and that's a corner shop #
you go to the big supermarkets #
and you think it's gonna be cheaper , it's gotta be cheaper because it's wherever #
Yeah #
Yeah #
Well the supermarkets do the same thing don't they ? #
Loss , loss leaders or if they're not loss leaders they're very low aren't they ? #
But when you think if you go to your corner shop and you , you don't want a lot it's cheaper to go there than to get in a car #
spend your money on petrol , pollute the place #
That's the , that's their weakness isn't it ? #
Yeah , mm #
Yeah #
They've got the erm , that mobile shop that comes round here #
Haven't you seen it ? #
The blue one , from Debenham , and you can phone your order through #
ready boxed up for you #
so you can do that with him , so if you're not too well you know like #
say if it was yourself and father who both weren't well , he would , if you just pick up the phone and say , I'm running short can I have a b b and he , he brings it round , like you know ,j j #
I can remember my mum when , when I was little , she used to have a book , a shopping book and she used to write in it #
what she wanted from the shops , it was like erm a thick notebook did you #
ever have anything ? #
Did , is that right ? #
And prices at the side #
and she knew #
Oh no she wouldn't of , no didn't have that , no #
Yeah #
Aye . #
She used to hand it in at the counter , this #
book , she wrote a list out what she wanted , she used to hand it , I remember , I'd forgotten all about this , let's just say we were at the Co-Op , she'd hand it in at the counter so the , the groceries counter all , and she'd written it all out , and when it came back it was , was five minutes , it was all together for you , there it was , it was built up on the counter , and each time the amount was written at the side so #
that sort of predates this er till slip , this till roll you get #
don't it ? #
But she , she knew #
what she was getting at , she knew exactly what she was shopping for , she went into that shop , there was the list , it was handed in , I bet it took her less time to shop then , than it did later when she went shopping with a vague idea well I mustn't forget this , I mustn't forget that , but then the wandering around sort of oh that looks nice and I fancy that #
Yeah #
Mm #
Mm , mm #
But people still shopped at different shops ? #
Well , well why , well why would you choose #
to shop at that particular shop rather than #
that one ? #
But not everybody shopped at the Co-Op did they ? #
Yeah most people did , yeah , but not everybody #
My mum used to say such thing as like you know bacon's better from #
from such a place rather than such a place #
so it was , she knew you know #
You knew him and he knew you #
Mm , yeah #
But he was also a family butcher and he served the family didn't he ? #
Yeah , er we used to go to certain ones that's right #
It's amazing how much you forget isn't it this , the supermarkets know , you just go , you pick it up , you stick it in your trolley and move on you pick it up , you stick it #
there's , there's no se there's no erm #
there's no service is there ? #
None at all #
Mm #
Yeah #
Mm #
Mm #
Mm #
What shop was that ? #
Debenhams , well you see , are they really trained for , for those #
little departments within the store those people or just put on #
Yeah #
that's right #
but that's not just because somebody was away for their dinner , it's , if that person was back from their dinner #
they most likely wouldn't be able to give you the help as well , they're just placed on #
these particular department little sh #
Yeah #
Mm #
Mm #
But do you ever see bolsters sold now ? #
Peo #
Where at ? #
Yeah so if they're still selling bolster cases I wonder if they're still selling bolsters somewhere ? #
Mm #
Yeah , true , true , true #
No #
When I was er , you know this Saturday morning work and weekend you know this weekend , but not Saturday morning this weekend work and holiday work at a tailors in Runcorn , the manager of that shop , gentleman's outfitters right , the manager of that shop , there's two other men worked in there full time and myself at holidays and weekends or if they were on holiday you'd have to work , you know , the erm to cover one of those and he , the manager was brought up , he's , brought up , his training was in Liverpool , in tailors where they , a man would produce a suit for somebody #
you know you'd produced the shirt but produce er , and there would be lots and lots and lots of these people , these very skilled men #
all working in their own little houses sort of they looked liked houses but in fact they were little workshops #
I remember once , yeah it was like that , yeah that's right , not one , but a few times I used to get on the train from Runcorn to Liverpool , I had an address to go to in Liverpool , rough directions how to get there , to pick up a suit or to pick up a fitting , you know you'd get the , the different #
stages of fitting #
oh yeah , all that , you know all the #
That's right , that's right #
well the slight adjustment so to get it , get it right , that's what you're paid for and he's , that's where he was , that's where he was brought up in the trade , and he could take a piece of cloth in his hands , he had rolls of cloth , and he said that was made such a way , the quality of this cloth is because and that #
socks the same #
exactly the same with socks , the blend of wool or nylon , er , just pure wool or nylon or whatever whether it's cotton in it , all these things type of shirts and that , the strengths of the cloths feeling it , telling you that'll wash well that'll last #
that is worth that money #
and that's a bargain , and se you know these reps would come round selling this that and the other and if , you could only see samples after , wouldn't touch it with a barge pole like you know , yeah I'll have that , that's all but that's because he had a good grounding #
now he passed that on , that had , sort of knowledge on through the people in the shop okay , if you , soon as that link gets broken and you go into a shop something like erm Burtons okay , big retail shop like Burtons , you go in there you'll have a manager in there and assistants and so on , but their background knowledge has nothing to do with tailoring , nothing at all #
so you can go to them and ask them for advice and they can't give it , because there's not that link back to where you know #
Yeah #
Yeah #
oh yes , yeah , I remember that , yeah #
I'd forgotten about that #
Fifty shilling tailors #
nothing more than fifty shillings #
Yeah #
A good quality one #
and it would be as well . #
Yeah it's a week's wage now #
Mm #
But now you see you've got these big #
these big retail shops #
these , you know these national thing , all that they're interested in from that manager of that shop is how much did you sell that week #
just pure inset , and just headquarters , that's all they're interested in , not whether he knows his job or not , not whether he could give advice because he has no control over whatever comes into that shop , he doesn't decide we're not having these T-shirts in or , or we're not having these suits in because really they're a load of rubbish , headquarters decides it , all he does is put a nice little display out , usually , and it's shown how to do it by headquarters and so on , these people come round and show them what to do and so on , do all that , in fact he's as much expertise in there as I have or you have , anybody could literally with a bit of training in the company way of doing things #
take on that job , you don't have to be erm somebody who has knowledge about cloth , about way , the way things are made , the sewing , alright , how close it's sewn to the edge #
yeah , things like that #
Oh I don't know #
not all , there's still a fair amount #
Oh yeah #
still there , there isn't , there isn't as much as there used to be , but some are fair amount #
That's it #
it , it didn't matter did it ? #
No , that's what I'm saying #
and #
if you'd of gone to them for advice and say which is the better buy , which will was wash better and why , you know , I want I want #
this particular thing , they'd be , they'd be flummoxed #
Yeah and convince you , if you pay more for it , it must be better , and it , that isn't always true either , usually is but not always #
Mm #
Yeah #
Yeah #
So they were waiting #
Getting low #
Yeah #
he walked out the door , he's forgotten #
Yeah #
Yeah , do you think it still happens ? #
It happened with us , when we borrowed money to pay for this car , finished it off now , the bank , oh the letters they send you , about three months before you're about to finish paying , I am an esteemed and valued customer you know and all that crap #
oh God did he #
They don't esteem you , you're not valued #
you're , you're just a number on a damn computer but they crack on #
as if you were something , somebody very special and again it's a big con and it , they must think people fall for this #
Yeah , yeah , yeah #
I give you a good example of that , erm , well not how easy it is , not on that , but how easy it is to get money without having the money , okay , Tony wants that , the computer #
and we wanted to get it through Access , and the credit limit on Access was what was it a thousand ? #
Something like that , trying to remember now what it was , sixteen hundred , sixteen hundred that was it and it says your credit limit is sixteen , sixteen , you could spend up to sixteen hundred pounds , whether you got it or not you can spend it , so we said if we're gonna get this computer because you get these Air Miles out of it , you know , every ten pounds you get an Air Mile , well if he's getting a computer over a thousand pounds you know with all the paraphernalia that goes with it , well that's a lot of Air Miles there , well we said we'll get it through Access , but there isn't , our credit limit on Access isn't enough to pay for the computer , sixteen hundred it's more than sixteen hundred , in , in the long , once he's got his printer and God knows what you know , so I phoned them up and he said erm is it possible to adjust the limit upwards ? #
Oh yes we said well what's the limit ? #
Well they said what do you want it to be oh God , I can't , there you are it's as , it's as easy as that , it's as easy as that #
About electricity ? #
Yeah #
Yeah #
storage heaters , yeah , yeah #
Yeah #
That's got nothing to do with it #
and warm #
and warm #
I don't know Paul . #
You can burn it #
I don't know Paul , it's erm , ask Tony he's the one who'd of put it away , have you asked him ? #
Close the door please #
Yeah #
Yeah they , they're telling you one part of the story #
and they forget to tell you that once upon a time doesn't always have a nice ending , yeah #
Mm #
Yeah , but they're also forgetting as well it isn't just the maintenance that it's a long term commitment to paying #
back money #
twenty , fifteen , whatever years , whatever years , and in that time you've got to be pretty sure that you can do that #
that your job is secure , yeah that you #
Nobody's job is secure , but some jobs are more secure , have always been more secure than others and if you've been , as some of them have been relying on overtime #
and the building societies #
this , will , oh the second job #
and the building societies at one time would not take overtime into account , but in the eighties oh my God , you know , how much , oh have as much as you want #
but they took all that , they took overtime into account , now as you can't guarantee overtime , you can't actually guarantee your basic wage #
but of the two you can't , you can't have a ba you can't have no basic wage and only overtime #
yeah , one will always be there if you've got , if , if you've got a job , the other one is very iffy and yet they were lending money to people who right , right , rightly in their minds have , and as Maggie T said oh yes go on , go , yeah , independence and all that , erm they were going out , never having done it before , no tradition in , in maybe in their family of doing it before , got this goal this sort of Disney World ideal you know erm , sort of make believe world who are we gonna be and we're gonna be dreaming the dream , the dream #
Yeah , like the electricity , but your chickens come home to roost when your overtime goes , when your job goes and you take on a commitment and they never , the last ten , fifteen , twenty , twenty five years and they've never ever , ever taken on a commitment like that before , when it's presented with just the roses around it , everything's sweetness and light and roses and the other side isn't really put , put to you , think of the worse scenario , you're out of a job , what can you do ? #
Can you keep it going ? #
In that case could you keep it going for a while if you're out of a job ? #
What limit of borrowing should you be borrowing to ? #
I know accountants say borrow to your top limit because of tax purposes , but they're talking about people who've #
so much money you know , they've , they've got to erm #
they've got to spend #
Do you know how much it was when we got our first house , just before we were married , it wasn't two and a half times your salary , it was one and a half times our salary #
and one salary #
That was , that was the realism of life wasn't it ? #
That your marriage , one your marriage could break up #
two , even though you're both working you can't guarantee that both will continue to work , it's taking it to a real , a realistic level #
Right , yeah #
Yeah #
Yeah #
but this is , this is the way of , values of of #
the place of the moment , at the moment isn't it ? #
That bricks , mortar , tellies , carpets and God knows what #
rat matter more than people #
it seems to be #
Mm #
Mm #
Mm #
It would cost them less than two hundred pounds a week #
that's right this is the meanest of it #
this is the meanest , you get into the system of the , of the legality of it , the , the er ,thes these people who lend money where we want our money back #
we want it there , we want this guarantee , it's , it's a bit s it's sort of well #
it's a bit Shylockish , we want our pound of flesh at the end of this day , now that , the fact that the cost of that pound of flesh will cost you more than this two hundred pound a week #
cost you far more getting it like that than saying we'll support you #
it's , it really is a bit Shylockish #
Mm #
Mm , mm #
Yeah #
Hold on , it's not people who've got spare money , it's people who #
who've got plenty of cash , always will have as well and this is , this is the unfortunate part , this , this is the sinister part of it really , because the people who've scratted around and have suffered #
borrowed up to the hilt , they , they , their er , I , what should I say , their erm unfortunate circumstances #
are benefitting people who don't have to , never had to scrat around #
they actually they had , the poor #
if you look at it one way are subsidising the very rich #
the very , the ones who've got so much money they could and they're buying up things as a result of somebody's misery at a way lower price than it should be bought for #
and they're doing it again and again and again , it suits them , it suits the ones that are really rich to have ordinary people struggling like that and it suits them not to have that two hundred pounds a week going in to help those people and they're the people who it suits who will decide whether that two hundred pounds a week goes to help on the mortgage or put them into what is it , a bed and , a bed and breakfast ? #
So if it , if it look at it like that , these people are benefitting ho again and again , time and again and again out of some , out of somebody's #
misfortune , and yet , and yet the cost of putting them into a bed and breakfast would stop those people's houses going on the market and it would stop those people who are benefitting from it , from benefitting from it #
They're parasites aren't they ? #
Yeah so #
the rest of us #
are subsidizing the rich to buy houses that are becoming cheaper onto the market #
so we're all helping the rich to become richer #
because these poor sods can't pay off the mortgage #
It suits them #
not to let them get out of the pov that's what I'm saying , it suits them because they can buy up property much cheaper than if that two hundred pounds a week that's being spent on bed and breakfast , that , they were spent on helping them with the problems as they are at the moment . #
It's crazy , it's crazy , if only people again'd sit back and look at it and see exactly what's happening , rather than saying it serves them right , they shouldn't of done this , they shouldn't of got themselves into that position they're in that position #
they're in that position , it's gonna cost us to get out , cost us to get them out of it and they can go out into a bed and breakfast or they can stay in the house #
That's right #
but to start with they shouldn't of borrowed to the limit they were borrowing #
That's building societies , yeah #
Mm #
Mm #
Or , one of them , or one of them #
or one and a quarter or one and a half or whatever #
Mm #
Mm #
That's right #
These people who are buying up houses now so cheaply from these , you know from these repossessions #
they must rub their hands together you know when these booms are going , you know , oh as much money as you want #
because they must know what's gonna happen when they , you know , when the cows come home , they must know when the chickens come home to roost they must know what's gonna happen #
that there are gonna be so many thousands of people in a right mess and they're #
gonna pick up cheap pickings , they're gonna go round like the vultures , just taking it and taking it #
Right #
What's reasonable ? #
Ha #
reasonable to whom ? #
When the Council houses were sold , a lot of money went into the , went into the Council #
yeah #
and they're not allowed to spend it , that's the craziest thing of all but housing associations can build houses , but Councils can't #
or they can but a tiny amount , it's this sort of dogma , this blind faith , has put commonsense right out of the window completely out the window #
it's #
How they work ? #
Well the government subsidizes them a lot for , for a start and it's , again it's the government , the philosophy of the gover of a government either subsidize something or it doesn't , doesn't it , and it subsidizes what it #
wants to be a success , it did , it takes the subsidy away from #
something that it , either it is successful in itself and it no , no longer needs to be subsidized or something that they want to see go to the wall , if they want to see something going to the wall , it #
I don't know exactly the #
the ins and outs of them , but there's a lot of government input into it , there's a lot of government help in there , a lot #
and it's , it's the philosophy that people will stand on their own two feet and own #
and own their own houses #
which is a good philosophy #
alright , alright #
Yeah #
You're a fat board #
yeah #
Oh it's not a case of putting the world to rights I'm looking for this bacon #
Got it , got it #
it's only two pieces #
Paula #
Paula #
it's only two pieces of bacon #
It's on it , oh , thought you said put it on it oh God #
Up , not on the pillows but actually sitting up as if he was #
Bolt upright , yes , fast asleep and then he'd move his hands #
erm , do you know like erm in meditation people , when they're meditating and their minds are away and , and the bodies are calm and relaxed , it was like that then , then he'd #
go back into his sleep #
and then he woke up , his , his eyes opened from this , he was actually asleep and his , he woke up from it , not with a start , but the , it's , he woke up very quickly , instantly and he just started to do things . #
Oh well in his seventies , touching eighty #
I think so if not he's in his high fifties #
his high fifties and he's very old , young #
Paul , erm he was his wife was there and his dad he went for a bath for a walk , a walk around #
Yes , yeah #
he's , erm #
I think so , yes #
Yeah it's erm #
Well she's got something wrong with her legs hasn't she ? #
Yeah #
Which was that one ? #
Oh yes at the end , yes , yes #
Anything else need going on ? #
About half an hour off the potatoes , you don't want the sprouts on just yet , do you ? #
I'll get those out . #
What time did the chicken go on Paula ? #
it's ten past now , ten past twelve #
about ten o'clock , half ten #
It was eleven , about half ten , it's been in an hour and a half #
is that enough ? #
No , I'll just go to the freezer #
what's that ? #
They're the tops of paint pots , you put the #
you put the plastic pot on the bottom , that on the top and so long #
Ha , they're dirty #
They're dirty , and so long as you erm fill your paint pots up so the water in the pot is below , below that , if you tip it over it doesn't spill #
That's the theory #
the practice is a bit different How long do the sprouts take in the microwave Paula ? #
How long do the sprouts take in the microwave ? #
Twelve minutes ? #
That's too much , yeah spilling the peas all over the place here #
A good drying day isn't it ? #
Yeah #
What's that ? #
Nah I think Paula might hit the roof if you start ironing #
Well he doesn't need them today #
No pyjamas ? #
How many pairs of pyjamas has he got ? #
Paula , Paula says hundreds #
In the socket in the wall you can plug in #
Mind yourself #
Well do it , see the light there , the that thing #
I'll , I'll put it up for you #
which way do you want it ? #
Don't pull it out like that , pull it straight out , don't wiggle it #
You watch #
watch , oh missus #
just pull it straight out , if you do that to it #
you'll wreck it , never mind good God #
that's true , you're a what ? #
I can see #
A Uri Geler #
well if you do that to it , to something , no wonder , is that the right way round for you ? #
Which way you ironing ? #

Are they cotton ? #
Great #
they are #
it's not hot yet , give it a chance #
still warming up , oh God #
Ha don't bother ironing them then #
yeah #
I think that's been worrying him more than anything else you know #
Well they said it was , cos his bowels weren't moving and that #
he said that's , and yet he says now they're moving but , by themselves he doesn't need any , any anememas or enemas or whatever #
yeah , what she done with them ? #
You've not thrown them away have you ? #
The peelings , the erm , what you call it the sprouts #

well get that done what else have you got to do ? #
I forgot , right well get yourself in there . #

Alright , you're alright that's plenty , plenty #
Ah it's a bit daft not to , isn't it really ? #
they iron better you know if they go out #
That's right #
It's good when you put them in , if you put them in a tumble dryer #
that helps them , but if you put them on radiators and God knows what round the house trying to keep them , get them dry #
Yeah true , true , true #
Oh yeah #
well not really stick , stick them in a tumble dryer if you're lucky depends how much money you've got #
What's that ? #
Oh , yeah , yeah #
Steam from what ? #

Oh it's only the return spring on it , there's nothing wrong with the dryer #
Ah there's donkey's years in that yet , oh God #
No , there's nothing #
Yeah , nothing wrong with that #
Well you see when you turn that you see turn , turn your control #
and it's set and it should click back shouldn't it slowly ? #
It does that , so there's a #
return spring gone on it that's all #
get in the top of it one day #
nah , nothing wrong with that , it dries them , dries them beautifully #
Well done Paula she's used all the hot water #
Had a bath #
Yeah well if , it's a stupid way of doing it when you've got a boiler that's heating up , you can just wait on a bit #
Yeah , it's an expensive way of of doing it anyway #
I can set it up #
economy wash #
Oh yeah #
oh I couldn't agree with you more , that's plenty #
yeah you catch enough wind there don't you ? #
Same as this , this catches a lovely #
Will be once that hedge gets up #
You notice how the Pyracantha are there #
these , this little group here are different from all the others #
different breed , different variety #
Which one the #
the beech #
that was already in I was gonna #
Yeah , oh yeah , that's gonna look good that when we , when we get it to something like #
when it fills out #
Pyracantha , about four years now #
Yeah , well we will do once we'll get them to the height we want we'll start trimming them and they'll bush out a bit more , that's not bad they're about four , four or five foot now aren't they ? #
Well you've got your hedge trimmer haven't you ? #
So you've got the tool to keep it #
to keep it under control #
No , but you've got the tool I'm saying to keep it under control #
No #
See these , this type of thing , this er Pyracantha , the reason why you've go that , it's evergreen #
its thorns , it's got thorns in it so it stops #
any well anybody can #
deters , deters them #
you've got some , you've got flowers on it ,wh those white flowers and then you get those lovely red berries #
so you've got a mix of everything in it #
it's an ideal thing #
Erm , a nursery up , going towards Norwich on the A one forty #
and he just got them in , real , there's a #
there's a better one now , you know , er where we found out , you know where we got the Laurels from at the other side ? #
Well they are erm , we got those from a place the other side of Ipswich on the Shotley peninsula , I think it says Paul Doubleday in , name of the nursery and that's a genuine nursery , not some of these pretending to be a nursery in a garden centre , he se he grows stuff to sell to Councils and you know big organizations #
Cracking plants really good ones , and alright , they're not , they're not the cheapest in the world , but you get quality plants #
I suppose if you're buying by the thousands the price'd come down a lot , but when we were only buying about , you know , forty odd plants #
Oh yeah , well you could plant it yourself couldn't you ? #
Yeah #
but it , that , that's okay providing in the winter , you haven't got some of it that's evergreen and some of it that you , you know , then you've got to hedge it's #
and mish-mash in the winter #
Mm #
What it does #
Yeah #
When did she move in ? #
Yeah but when did she move in though ? #
Mm , mm #
Mm , mm #
True very true #

You lose it all just a slight detail , leave the door #
Are you saving this on disk or is this going onto hard disk ? #
Stack of them , yeah , but how d'ya get it out , are you gonna save it from the hard disk onto a floppy ? #
That's what you're going to do ? #
But , er yeah , cos if something does go wrong , if there's a power fail er now #
you would be up the creek without your paddle wouldn't you ? #
Wouldn't you ? #
Well if it didn't save it on that how does it , how do you get it back ? #
without you telling it to save #
and a #
Yeah #

Well it depends on what you , what #
Your frequency is #
Ditto , ditto my or may ? #
Key words #
None #
Comments rubbish #
You daft thing #
How do you know , oh it's saving it onto the disk now #
How many bytes are free yeah #
A hundred and twenty four thousand , nine hundred and twenty eight bytes free #
Yeah #
What frequency does it save it at ? #
If you want #
Why don't you do it one , every minute ? #
What happens if you #
Yes , yeah #
Yeah #
So , so when it's auto save it's , then you edit it does it auto , will auto save again , does it take out the things already in that you've altered , that you've edited ? #
Yeah it overwrites everything #
so what you , auto saving every ten minutes #
I think you're a bit wrong there old son #

it just does it without you knowing it , that would be good wouldn't it ? #
Without interrupting your flow #
Yeah #
Yeah #
You've lost the lot #

limbo yeah , you're coming together again in the house or whatever you have , a reception , and you need to go through that to come to terms with it or you can , you can need to go through that , but some people can't take the pressure emotional pressure of , you know , all the , hour , two hours , three , four hours before that it just , they #

No , oh cos I can't smell anything . #
The food tastes like to erm cardboard ! #
You know it's all it's all just one taste #
it's like a flat taste . #
Yet last night I could taste erm er the food we had for tea last night and it's lovely when you can taste . #
You just don't realize that , but when it dri drifts away from you . #
Cor ! #
You're enjoying this aren't you ? #
I dunno . #
What on earth are you doing ? #
Taking the skin off ? #
You've done well . #
There you are . #
Can't you ? #
The skin off the tomato ? #
Nobody came , no . #
Ooh a bit of roughage does you good then . #
Maybe you should eat that knowing your complaint ! #
It looks good . #
It tastes good . #
By golly it does you good ! #
Oh yes ! #
Yeah . #
Mhm . #
Seeds just go down there . #
Say it was sewage farms that's #
that's what they have you've got a #
drip on the end of your nose . #
Oh , you've got a bit of a cold haven't you ? #
The poll tax , oh . #
So he we came along dug the tomato plants up and took them home ? #
Oh . #
What's supposed to be good for you ? #
It's got iron in it hasn't it ? #
Something like that , plenty of iron . #
That's why it's a green colour it's got iron in it . #
Mm , yeah . #
I hear you didn't have er , you didn't enjoy your liver the other day ? #
Ox liver or something is that right ? #
It was foul ? #
Pity that cos lamb's liver's beautiful isn't it ? #
Gorgeous . #
Well I've never seen anybody carve erm a tomato before . #
This , this noo noo nouveau cuisine . #
Oh proper ! #
Bet the queen doesn't do that ! #
No , I'll go back home and get some bacon and sausage and eggs , see to myself . #
And I've gotta go in and do the budget and get the budget today . #
Got to sort that out . #
Gotta find this two and a half percent that has dropped us in it ! #
You know he's given us all seven and half #
and there's a two and half percent short fall that we've gotta fight so I'm gonna se see where I can get it from . #
See which courses they can put round what and squeeze a bit of money out of it . #
Good job they didn't give us more than seven and a half percent isn't it ? #
I think we'd have been right up the creek without the paddle ! #
It's very good at the actually oh ! #
Or they're pun they're pouring money into the countryside now forty five million , he's going in for these developments er to create a better countryside just announced this week . #
I wonder why ? #
I wonder why ? #
It's the most considerate and caring government we've ev we've ever had over this last fortnight ! #
Right . #
For how many years have we been told it's tax payers' money do you remember Maggie and the tax payers' money , it's like this animal somewhere called the tax payer but it came out of the wall as if we weren't one of them and that we had to look after the tax payers' money . #
What are they doing with my money now ? #
They're bribing people left , right and centre with it ! #
I object to that ! #
Mind you , I suppose if the others were in they'd do exactly the same thing wouldn't they ? #
I don't think you should be allowed to tinker around with the with things like this say within six months of a general election and that's why they should have fixed term appointments . #
Proportional representation . #
Yeah ,prov provided you don't get like you have in Israel at the moment where you got ve ve very minor parties the religious #
parties that take about three , four percent of the vote but they have got far more sway over the government than their vote really . #
It shows . #
Well they're holding the government #
there . #
Well i it is , they're building on the West Bank #
in , in wha what is Jordan really , not what was Jordan , what is Jordan they call it now , they call it the occupied territories it seems to clean it up if you call it that . #
But these they've erm the religious parties you've got build there , you know we've got to expand Israel this is our homeland and if you don't do this we're not going to support you . #
And the Americans are saying if you build that we pull out our our , our aid to you . #
It's , it's a bit like in Northern Ireland where you've got your the religious erm influence they've got somebody like Ian Paisley the strength of that man and his group #
phenomenal ! #
That a don't you want your lettuce ? #
What's for pud do you know ? #
Oh it's a the trolley comes round is it and you choose ? #
The cheese trolley and the sweet trolley and the gateaux trolley ! #
No ? #
I think I'll , I'll go after you've had your sweet anyway cos otherwise mm , once I've had my dinner two be about three o'clock before I can get in to do this budget . #
So I'll go after you've had your pud . #
I'll have a word with the doctor . #
I'll have a word with the doctor . #
Is it , now with the two nurses there ? #
A physio by the looks of it . #
You could still be in Monday couldn't you ? #
You could still be in Monday . #
I know you are . #
I don't think they'll send you out today . #
I think the earliest you can go , be out now is tomorrow at the earliest ! #
Did they send you out on people out Saturdays and Sundays ? #
But this biopsy lab does it work through the weekend ? #
So i #
What are you going for ? #
Wow ! #
Bit of rice pud ? #
Jelly and ice cream . #
Do you get erm do you get a balloon with it jelly #
and ice cream ? #
And a cracker ? #
I mean a cra Christmas cracker , you know jelly and ice cream , Christmas party . #
You can have cheese and biscuits . #
Oh Golly ! #
What more do you want ? #
You'll enjoy it , what do you want ? #
Yellow jelly . #
You ready . #
You got another spoon ? #
That looks good ! #
Looks good aye , yeah ! #
It's alright that . #
Should have had Paul here . #
Mm . #
Why's that ? #
Aye , yes . #
Guarantee the same portion every time . #
That's your roughage . #
Put ten ton of that stuff down you ! #
So they're orderlies are they that #
So I reckon tonight you're gonna get mother and Paula round . #
Paula's a lot better he slept first time last night right through without #
getting up and coughing and wheezing and all the rest of it and they actually slept very well last night . #
I think she down to five a day now five today is it ? #
What did she start on , was it nine or eight ? #
Whatever it was . #
You know she's doing the count down little red things she's got that she swallows she's down to five , I think it's five . #
I think Tony's made up his mind for which he's , school he's he's going to go to . #
But the , well we should have the forms in completed today and in the post today but I think he'll go to Northgate . #
The one down the road here . #
I was impressed with his how he didn't disregard one you know #
you know out of hand , he didn't do it #
out of hand . #
He , he balanced the strengths of one against another #
and what I was a really impressed with he , he balanced the , the human , what he felt were the human strengths of the school what it felt like you know , what the people were like in it and erm I think that's made his decision more difficult because he hasn't just gone on the ec the academic side of it he looked at the , the all round aspects of it . #
That's it , and where is he likely to feel most comfortable . #
You know , which one is more like him . #
You know yo you can be in the best place in the world but if yo if you don't fit in , if you don't feel right there you're not going to flourish are you ? #
And once he makes this decision he he can't after a year or two say well no that was wrong , I won't I'll er I'll change now because he's only got two years there . #
So he's , he's really got to get it right from the word go . #
But whether he will I hope he chooses right for him . #
But it will be his decision . #
Yeah . #
He says , you know , what do you think and I say well look it's up to you and I put the question back to him and say well what do you think ? #
And that gets him talking then . #
You've really enjoyed that haven't you ? #
You've had jelly , ice cream and and fruit , fruit cocktail . #
What's for tea , have you any idea ? #
Wha have you chosen it ? #
You've got That's not bad . #
Yeah ! #
Don't they have a wine list with your menu ? #
So ideally when you come out is Sunday afternoon innit ? #
Is it two o'clock ? #
Get you a wee dram ! #
Go and see this #
Just nurses now . #
They could be on their dinner . #
Having their dinner . #
Well I'll find out . #
And I , I'll ask , if they don't , they don't know . #

Do you want me to ask for you ? #
Yep , okay I'll only be a minute . #

if there's any chance . #
Okay then , thanks a lot . #
Right thank you . #
Thank you . #
No news . #
Nope , no news no . #
Hopefully today she said . #
Hopefully . #
So when you're #
Now , is hopefully , today . #
Hopefully today , that's all she said . #
She said Mr explained everything that's all there was , you know there was nothing else . #
And I said maybe you'd had heard between Mr #
and but no . #
Never mind ! #
Never mind ! #
I think it'll be oh it's dinner time now they'll all be on their dinner , they'll all be on their lunch won't they ? #
Mm , yeah . #
So the , the earliest you'll be home is tomorrow afternoon isn't it ? #
The earliest . #
If not it'll be Sunday . #
But if , if do if you don't get it through this afternoon it won't be Sunday will it ? #
Er #
be Monday afternoon Tuesday . #
Yeah . #
I think that's what it'll be . #
Anyway , better get off , okay ? #
Yeah , and er tonight no idea ? #
Most likely Paul and mother . #
Might get the lads , you might get a pack of cards again and a did they leave you their cards ? #
Better give me a game gonna thrash you whenever I could of thrashed at whatever ! #
No , the crib board ? #
Mind you , you could use a piece of paper and erm #
what do you call it ? #
A pen . #
Can't you ? #
Do you wanna quick game ? #
Give #
you a quick game . #
You sure ? #
Give you a quick #
thrashing at crib ! #
First to sixty on the back of there . #

Get your cards out . #

Coming down there ? #
Right , ready ? #
I'm a demon at this ! #
Okay ? #
Fives two #
up a bit the volume is like on this way you put that up , oh we where's the gear stick don't wanna get that turning with the gear stick . #
You okay , right ? #
Yep . #
It'll be okay . #
That's oh ah well this is the last visit . #
I mean at to hospital . #
No , no . #
We've gotta get over to the bungalow #
and rearrange the furniture in the bedroom to the way he wants it . #
So that's gonna take a bit of #
lifting and the best thing the to do is to do it when your grandma's not there . #
Otherwise #
Well , I think what'll happen tomorrow is one of two things , either your mum and grandpa will go to the hospital and pick grandpa up #
oh , must find this seat belt ca can't find it won't go in it's flashing at me saying I haven't got my seat belt , but I have or and we'll go off to Southwold #
and get the bedroom sorted out . #
And we'll take with us whether it'll be yourself and me , or Tony and me or #
you sa the three of us but whoever it is it'll be with Philip as well #
so and we'll go in the Metro . #
Yeah ? #
Your mum drives down to Ipswich . #
picks up the picks up grandpa #
and takes him from the hospital up to Southwold . #
So we we're there #
Can we just take that , take that spare cassette ? #
Otherwise it's gonna fly all over the place ! #
Keep hold of it . #
Erm , we're there we're sorting that out the other thing is you see grandma will have to go shopping tomorrow . #
So you'll ha she'll have to get this her supplies in her provisions . #
The milk and the milk and the milk . #
Yeah . #
And then o over to the bungalow , now she'll either do that she'll do the shopping before we go off to the bungalow , maybe we'll pop down to Asda and #
and get it there then go back back home swap cars , pick up the Metro and drive over to Southwold . #
If we do that we can only ta I can only take one other passenger along with your grandma and Philip so that could mean either yourself or Tony being at home #
staying at home #
oh yeah ! #
or going down into Ipswich with your mum and coming up with grandpa . #
Told who ? #
No , she's gonna phone Felic up in New Zealand #
tonight because ten o'clock tonight here #
is New Zealand in the morning . #
So if ten o'clock here is at night , it's ten o'clock in New Zealand excuse me ! #
In the morning . #
They're #
twelve hours in front of us exactly aren't we ? #
Ten #
ten o'clock , ten o'clock #
Ten o'clock at night , ten o'clock in the morning . #
So Felicity now , well yes , they'll just be getting getting up . #
or opening her eyes . #
So #
your mum's gonna phone Felic #
and she'll phone Anne she'll most likely phone Joan and the rest of them . #
To le that the end is not nigh he's gone it's postponed #
He's tricked us again . #
Stop #
playing with that ! #
That Champagne's gro growing what ? #
Poured over him ? #
I don't think he'd appreciate that ! #
Poured down him , yeah but not over him . #
Christ I've been up and down this road this week ! #
Not far off . #
What a way to spend your holiday eh ? #
Oh yeah , couldn't of been a better end ! #
This news is brilliant ! #
So he might get his wall built but he might have to wait a year before he starts it . #
Yeah but #
I don't think he'll be making it this year Paul . #
He was within a a whisker of death ! #
Do you , he was as close to death if he hadn't have gone in se to Ipswich and seen the specialist at the time he did er #
another day or two and that would have been it ! #
He was as close to death as that ! #
Yeah , his body would have just couldn't have taken much more ! #
Well when when the doctor saw him on a fortnight ago this Friday today , a fortnight ago today the doctor phoned the ward and said have you got a bed I've got a man here who's be who is between myself and my curry dinner time and you could be saving two people's lives my life cos he was so hungry #
and your grandpa's cos he was so poorly . #
You know , when people pull out in front of you on the road #
they you brake #
I don't know why do it then and then drive slowly ! #
If they're gonna drive so slowly why do they #
make these #
crazy manoeuvres to nip in front of you and then drive like a snail ! #
Well I think when your mum went #
to see the family G P in Southwold I think that got things moving because I don't they would have done anything , they'd have just accepted that this is the end , you know , he's gonna die in agony . #
And when because the family doctor really know whe anything that was happening but was holding on the phone over the phone , oh he's got a pain you know . #
Those painkillers you've ar aren't good enough . #
Not , could you come out and have a look at the chap ! #
I think you just assume that if you give somebody painkillers and they don't work , oh that's it ! #
That's the end of the story . #
Bye bye to this world ! #
They failed to realize that you need it's your own body #
it's your own body and you have got some say in what happens to it , or what doesn't happen to it . #
And if you're not satisfied with what is happening or not happening you should say something but grandma insists that she mustn't upset #
mustn't upset the doctors #
ooh if you upset the doctors when you're ill , when you're really ill they won't let you into hospital ! #
Tha that's her attitude ! #
I don't know what century it is but it's it's a crazy attitude ! #
Don't , don't upset them , don't say anything , don't ! #
Well this thing about this car #
it's been going on now for what ? #
This new car #
it's going on now for seven weeks #

Well I don't know whether they'd get it but they don't want to upset people , the fact that they've been really inconvenienced by not having it doesn't seem to come into their thinking . #
The only people they don't want to upset are the people at the garage the fact that somebody isn't doing their job properly somebody's sitting on a form somewhere #
not making a decision #
and they're allowed to get away with that sort of gently what was it his cosy middle job could ta you know where you don't make a decision where you everything around you is nice and cosy here if provided you don't make a decision nothing will happen ! #
And if nothing happens it's even cosier ! #
And so it goes on and on and until somebody gives them a kick up the backside they'll continue like that forever and ever amen and a day ! #
And that's what your grandma doesn't want to upset people like that #
in jobs #
in jobs like that . #
No ! #
Well er I thi maybe , maybe #
that's typical of Britain ! #
We accept things . #
That's where the Americans score over us #
they speak out , they're clear what they want , what they don't want mind you they go over the top a little bit #
at times . #
With the yahoos and the screams and the what's happening over there ? #
See it ? #
It's a breakdown I think . #
Oh we'll have a game of crib tonight . #
Well what do you fancy playing then ? #
just lose . #
Well he beat me at dinner at erm #
at crib . #
We had a game of crib at dinner . #
What's happening here ? #
What's happening ? #
Seven and half tons is it weight limit ? #
Is this the new #
thing ? #
They're trying to relieve the congestion on this Norwich Road #
by trying to stop , yes . #
Well they can't stop that one cos the bakery's here . #
They can't stop the lorries coming over to the bakery cos the bakery's just on the road can they ? #
What do they do ? #
Do they have a chain of people or a conveyer belt going across the football fields ? #
With bread on it ! #
Everyone but them . #
I wish they'd put more of the stuff on to the #
on to the rails . #
The old Norwich Road entrance ? #
Because you'd have got a queue of traffic here , you'd have had a terrible junction #
here . #
Just back up there . #
We're not going into a car wash . #
If you want #
I'll give you a bucket #
warm water , warm soapy water and a good sponge #
plenty of ho warm soapy water #
You can be the car wash . #
You can be mister automatic himself . #
Wisht ! #
We didn't ! #
You look at the back ! #
a #
It wasn't the number plate , is was the whole of the back there , it didn't really clean the back . #
There's a Christmas tree there . #
See it ? #
The lights on that car like a Christmas tree . #
Which library ? #
Yeah which #
he #
And you come out onto the main road ? #
The one runs across the #
oh , Crumpalls Road , yes . #
I know where you mean but I can't #
I can't picture the shop . #
A shop did ? #
Ever tell you about the erm a house Nottingham #
When I when I was learning to drive it was oh , right at the August , September time #
and this house facing the the part of Nottingham they call the forest it's it's not Nottingham Forest but it's called the forest , it's where they have the goose fair each year . #
And it was one of a a long row of of Victorian I suppose semi er , semis or terraced , big houses , like these here bit #
like those #
okay ? #
But I don't thi like these are detached or semi it was more like that , that's it , like that there #
long rows , but they're semis as well aren't they ? #
Anyway it was the type of house you looked into it and you expected to see cobwebs you know , sort of fustiness sor #
erm as if a window had never been opened for years and years and years that type of a house . #
It had the feel of it this little garden you know , the doors , the paintwork everything about it it gave you that feel . #
Ah home okay ? #
And #
erm I was driving past it learning to drive , concentrating like mad and the driving instructor er , said to me , and it was only the second what , second , third , fourth lesson , it was early on in the #
lesson he said to me just look at Christmas in that house ! #
And I'm concentrating on the road #
and the traffic and it's Nottingham and it's a busy place he said look at that ! #
Like a fool I looked ! #
Nothing happened , but #
I should never have looked and he should never really have said just look at that , oh aye ! #
Well well for years after it #
when I drove past that #
I used to look in there and there was the Christmas tree and the Christmas decorations and they're always up right through the year they never took them down ! #
So they're the first up with the Christmas tree decorations each year . #
And the last #
down . #
Twenty to eight . #
Yes ! #
Yeah . #
What was indigo ? #
Oh no , what the other one , the black knight ? #
That's right . #
Oh no . #
No . #
Yep . #
Oh the erm #
aqueducts . #
And what was his reaction at the end of that ? #
Did he thump you ? #
Pardon ? #
Who does he know ? #
Who is pipping for ? #
He had a bit of a cold this morning . #
Yeah . #
His eyes were a bit watery , runny nose I hope it doesn't start , if he gets home and starts with the flu ha ! #
That's all he'll need ! #
Poor chap ! #
Mm . #
That's right . #
They erm #
Pretty healthy . #
Yeah , try and keep it down , chemotherapy . #
Yeah . #
Oh he's back ? #
What part of the periwinkle ? #
Which part of the periwinkle ? #
The what ? #
The petals ? #
Really ? #
How much periwinkle have we got round our back door ? #
A lot ! #
Are you #
periwinkle ? #
The flower periwinkle ? #
Not winkles the #
the mollusc ? #
We're doing well here ! #
Doesn't take us long in the evening . #
Traffic moves along smoother . #
There seems to be as much traffic #
you see it always seems to re move more smoothly in the evening . #
Pardon ? #
Ready for the weekend . #
Maybe , maybe not . #
Half term skiing . #
Really ? #
Have you got #
plenty going ? #
Why's that ? #
Let's , just a minute let get this #
got stopped here . #
Oh , and because it's going to gi go in to your #
coursework time ? #
Right . #
What , does everybody go on the Edale visit as well ? #
Well and maybe that's the reason why . #
Because you'll be going on two visits one to to the skiing and one to the Edale #
But the time , the sessions of your coursework you mean ? #
I don't think they blare away as they come into the hospital . #
They only #
they only put the sirens on erm when they want to cle clear a way through traffic . #
But if there's no need to er , make a loud noise #
they don't #
they don't put er any sirens on . #
And if a patient's really ill they try to keep it as smooth and fast a ride as possible . #
So they don't frighten them , you know , if you're lying there you're having a heart attack or you just had one the last thing you want to hear is sort of the noise of the siren , the panicking noise of a siren . #
Well this is the last time this hospital we hope . #
Your mum'll do the rounds tomorrow the the visits tomorrow pick him up . #
That packing and the picking and the #
portering , pick , pack , porter ! #
There's a little bit of alliteration for you . #
Eh ? #
Pick , pack , porter ! #
Have you taken your seat belt off ? #
If we have an accident the insurance is null and void ! #
Did you know that ? #
No ? #
What do you mean suppose so ! #
It's true so #
Mm , yeah . #
Oh no , let's put this off . #
Lock it . #

All that stuff I brought bring that back with you . #
Bring that back with you there . #

There's something there . #
No thanks dad . #
No , I don't like that ! #
I don't like that ! #
I don't like that ! #
You don't like hot milk ? #
An Ovaltiney ! #
Ha does you good ! #
It's good for you ! #
Mm . #
You see . #
Yeah . #
That's why you end up with nine pints is it ? #
Twenty seven P . #
Twenty seven and a half P . #
You save seven and a half P a pint . #
Four pints #
you save thirty P , you see you've nearly the cost of your #
your third pint . #
You see yo #
That's right . #
Yeah . #
Mm , yeah and now it's thirty five . #
Do you know di #
What crisis ? #
Which crisis ? #
We haven't had an oil crisis ! #
Have we ? #
There wasn't an oil crisis ! #
It wasn't a crisis ! #
The oil excuse ! #
Yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah yeah , yeah , yeah ! #
Yeah . #
Mm . #
Did you know that the people who sell the milk , the dairies that sell a bring it round to you did you know , not many people know this ! #
Did you know #
No . #
That they are allowed to sell it to shops to shops cheaper than they are allowed to sell it to you . #
There's a minimum charge they can sell it to yo individual customers #
but they can sell it to shops , a crate of it to shops cheaper than than they can sell it so that means #
bu #
No , no the shop could use it then as a as a loss leader he could make say , a penny on it an ge so if he buys it at , you're buying what , thirty five ? #
I think they can buy it at twenty eight . #
So if he sells it thirty , just , he won't even cover his overheads on that but it means instead of having it delivered you go down to Joe's shop get it for thirty P save yourself five P . #
Now isn't that crazy ? #
Now , the regulations that control that , that decide that are absolutely barmy ! #
Because they're encouraging the people who are providing the business to go out of business . #
Aren't they ? #
Then actual consequence of it #
No . #
So do you ever , do you have any delivered ? #
At thirty five P a pint ? #
And you get your er #
and you get your other milk from the supermarket #
when you go shopping ? #
Why don't you get say , two four-pinters on a Monday or whenever you go shopping #
and then #
She's got #
Ah . #
Oh he delivers those as well does he ? #
Yeah . #
He delivers those as well ? #
So you're paying for a service really aren't you ? #
Mm . #
You're not just paying for milk . #
You're paying for the two things you're paying for the opportunity #
you're paying for the opportu by that chap coming round #
and doing that you're paying for the opportunity of having erm other services #
like bread #
yoghurt #
Oh it's like that is it ? #
Yeah . #
Fish and chips ! #
Don't Paul ! #
Yeah . #
Mm leave him a little note . #
I think we'd better go Paul . #
You're getting a bit restless . #

Truth is known if the truth is #
Twenty ones . #

Well that's a hopefully that's our last visit . #
Hopefully #
that's the last major thing that happens to him . #
It's a tight bend that ! #
Isn't it ? #
Do you think he was lucky ? #
I don't think he was lucky ! #
He was fortunate in that he had the right doctor at the right time in the right so hospital #
the right expertise around him . #
He hadn't had those how they #
It would have depended on which hospital he'd have been sent to . #
Erm if he'd have stayed at Southwold Hospital he would have died ! #
They couldn't have coped with it , no ! #
What they've done with him there is remarkable ! #
The skill the level of skill #
No , I think I've got some at at home Paul . #
Oh ! #
If you haven't got a bottle of whisky at home or I'm sure your mum can get one on the way in way in tomorrow can't she ? #
Have you ? #
Have you got a cold starting ? #
Everything I do #
I don't know how you can be so tired when you only get up at half past ten in the morning ! #
Pardon ? #
What do you want to do tomorrow ? #
Do you want to come over to the bungalow and sort this bedroom out or #
You want to go to the hospital ? #
Okay . #
Well we'll see what Tony wants to do . #
If you both wa if you both would rather go to the hospital you can't do that . #
One of you will have to come with me . #
Flick a coin ? #
Pardon ? #
Really ? #
No . #
Will you blow your nose you're going to give yourself a real bad chest ! #
A really bad chest ! #
Well at your age you should have a hankie with you , you shouldn't have to be told ! #
It should be there . #
But you don't have to be told to put your socks on do you ? #
No . #
Well , we'll see what see what Tony says . #
Then if you both want to go to the hospital you can't somebody will have to be either graciously accept to go over and get the bedroom sorted #
or ungraciously have #
to toss a coin ! #
That's a #
Oh it's the red button on that recorder #
but black the orange light's shining on the red button made it look black . #
Have a look at it . #
Don't press it but just have a look . #
See it ? #
Mm . #
Mm . #
Because the lights are #
Ultra violet ? #
Whi a bluey white ? #
But isn't ultra violet blue ? #
A blue light ? #
But the lights aren't blue . #
They've got a blue hue to them , a blue tinge to them but the lights aren't blue lights are they ? #
Does it still look like a runway to you then ? #
Pardon ? #
Everything that I do The other night when we came back the streets were deserted . #
The night of the F A cup replay . #
Watching it or listening to it on the #
Was it on , I think it was on Sky or something #
Sky T V so they were either watching it on their own or being very neighbourly with their neighbours or listening to it on the radio or as you say , up in Liverpool . #
Pardon ? #
It is a pity though winning two one , being being up two one and then #
Yeah ! #
And then losing three two . #
Yeah . #
If only , if only ! #
I think Des Allan , #
Who ? #
The #
Was he ? #
For how long ? #
Pardon ? #
Pardon ? #
Say that again ! #
Did you know that if a man #
jumps off the top of Big Ben #
wearing a tweed jacket #
he'll hit the ground in eight and a half seconds ! #
Not many people know that ! #
Mm ! #
Not many people know that ! #
Nah it's right innit ! #
Ha ! #
It's thirty , it accelerates at thirty two feet per second #
per second #
doesn't it ? #
Oh yes ! #
Yeah . #
Yeah , so if as you're falling from a great height . #
Okay if the theory is , if you dropped a feather and a penny at the same time from the same height the theory is that they both should reach the ground #
at the same time #
but in fact they don't #
Yeah , so if #
there's a #
it tends to float down a bit . #
Just hold on to your seat belt I've got somebody right up our backside ! #
Oh he's dropped back a bit . #
I thought we were going to have a visitor in the boot . #
He's right #
right up behind us . #
Well never mind . #
He just got a lot closer than that . #
A lot closer than that that's #
and at a guess is it Ford ? #
No it's not . #
It wasn't a Ford it was Japanese #
It's a funny shaped Ford Granada that Paul ! #
I thought we were going to have a visitor coming in through the back door . #
Yeah he was close I don't know why . #
He was very close ! #
Here we go ! #
It's a nuisance that , isn't it that ? #
It's only happened , you know when the windscreen went all the bubbles appeared #
on in , in , in the laminates alright well when they took the windscreen out and replaced it with this one it's only since then that repair #
that this has started to creak and crackle . #
And one good crack with the back of your hand sorts it out for a couple of minutes . #
Pardon ? #
It's in the back there whatever it is that's bouncing around . #
Pardon ? #
Shove ! #
Faster and faster . #
I saw bits of it , I was talking with your grandpa today about that . #
Pardon ? #
Oh that's why I came up wasn't it ? #
You know #
Yes . #
That's the bullet ? #
Those #
it was shot by compression rather than explosion #
Yes . #
Explain it again you've lost me already . #
Yep . #
Why was there gunpowder ? #
It was an actual gun ? #
An ord #
A rifle ? #
Forty metres ! #
So it was a gun that was only , you'd only find it in a building ? #
It isn't an , an #
actual gun that you'd see #
somewhere ? #
So it's ju it's purely #
experimental ? #
It exploded . #
the bullet moved away from it #
They shot a cylinder away ? #
A solid cylinder ? #
But a cylinder is empty ! #
A ce it was cylindrical but it was solid ? #
Yeah . #
But it , but as it went #
through , through the gas , yeah ? #
So the cylinder fixed tightly inside the barrel like just as if #
it was #
a bullet ? #
Yeah . #
Now what hits the plate ? #
The gas or the bullet ? #
Okay . #
What's the point in putting the hydrogen gas #
Go on . #
Yep . #
It gains , it gains momentum . #
Mhm . #
And they've only got it to seven ? #
Do they think they can get it up to fifteen ? #
And what's the purpose of it ? #
At fifteen kilometres a second ? #
Because of the danger of space things in space being hit by debris and the the debris is travelling at fifteen kilometres a second ? #
Yeah ? #
A flake of paint ? #
No metal attached to it ? #
Just a flake of paint . #
Is , is , yes it's , it's , that's doing it . #
So how much junk , garbage , rubbish #
whatever is up there . #
Is it in one particular area or is it just scattered #
That's stupid isn't it ? #
Why don't they collect it together then ? #
This is crazy ! #
It's waiting for an accident to happen ! #
Because if one of , not just a flake of paint if something bigger than that #
a piece of a rocket or #
a bolt or a nut or something #
it would really damage it wouldn't it ? #
Oh my God ! #
So , are the plans afoot to collect this rubbish ? #
Are we go ar are we going to have dustbin men orbiting the world ? #
Ha ? #
Waiting for a Christmas tip ! #
That's a thought isn't it ? #
Maybe there's an industry in the fu er , for the future there Paul ? #
Seriously ! #
Refuse collection #
Orbital Cleaning Services ! #
Refuse refuse collection of the world world out of this world , we're out of this world ! #
We're #
Oh , said he could drive back , I don't think he might be able #
to but I do #
I think it would erm that would set him back Paul that really would . #
Don't play around #
with that ! #
Well it's good that ! #
It's #
it's important he's feeling he wants to do things . #
When the wardrobes are moved it could be that they will hide the wall light switch and he's not bothered about that one little bit ! #
Because it doesn't , as he says he doesn't use the main light in the room he uses the bedside lights okay ? #
Good ! #
He just doesn't want it on ! #
So i it doesn't come into it that ! #
Okay ? #
Right . #
Pardon ? #
Small room ? #
Yep . #
Out tomorrow ! #
Hasn't he done well ? #
Pardon ? #
Mm . #
But the others that have got the #
cancers I think you'll find that what they're doing with them ar a lot of those cancers will be cured . #
Yes . #
Well , if you find a universal cure for something that's what it #
means ! #
I don't know . #
Ah but that's the simplistic #
side of it , er all it is is that #
It's what triggers it and what causes it to keep triggering and moving that and #
going out of control . #
What and if we can find out what it is that does that #
and then #
and then find #
and then find what it's what we can do to stop it triggering and carrying that reaction on and on and on and on or turning it back . #
If that makes that happen that way what makes it go the opposite way ? #
You know , what makes it reduce ? #
In safety , that is . #
Cos you might find you give somebody something erm which counteracts that #
but then because it's going into the body it's also counteracting so many other things that you don't want it to counteract . #
Yeah . #
Right , come on then . #
Can you bring in all those things out of the back ? #
Please ? #
The sweets , the books the lot , everything he's just given us . #
Don't leave anything behind . #
Have you got the lot ? #
Three carriers , whisky and wine that was it . #
And wild , wild women ! #
Close the door properly . #
Three carriers bottle of whisky bottle of wine . #
Bottle of wine . #
They're his thankyous . #
He's getting ready . #
He's given them to us that's why ! #
No I'm not . #
Well he's no once I'm home . #
Whisky , wine erm #
Well he , he asked the nurse and the nurse said obviously said we don't care for anything like , we do it for the good of you . #
And he said said yes #
I know you do it for the good of us but I still like to to buy you something as a thank you . #
So she said well and he said whisky ? #
And she said , oh no not that much , you know not , not that , no , no I want to , says well oh no , how about wine ? #
We like wine . #
So he said yeah , alright wine and then he said and whisky . #
So , I'll see I'll see what I've got down here in here . #
No you won't ! #
It's our thank you as well . #
I'm not being daft it's a fact ! #
It's our thank you as well . #
Erm he's cold #
yeah , he was a bit tired . #
No , his cold from this morning , he had a drippy nose remember ? #
Yeah . #
Er , his eyes were a bit full , you know , you know when somebody's #
sickening for a cold erm #
God , they're not worried about that ! #
They've got all his tablets sorted for him for coming home . #
You know , what he'll have #
dosage , frequency so on . #
Erm he didn't say that that'll all be no doubt he'll have all sorts of notes and that er #
Any , any time after ten o'clock he said . #
Any time after ten . #
No , he said don't break your necks he said any time after ten . #
I said , about eleven ? #
Yeah whatever time . #
He said but whatever you do don't come before ten . #
Okay ? #
Aha ! #
Is Paula upstairs ? #

Any time after ten . #
Okay ? #
Erm three carrier bags #
Yep . #

And three carrier bags bottle of whisky bottle of wine . #
They're the gifts they're the thankyous . #
Okay ? #
Oh he said , he said he just , he's just gonna leave them . #
I think the wine will definitely go to the nurses and the whisky will go to whoever wants to have a drink of whisky . #
So it'll be never know , you might get some happy doctors ! #
Erm what else ? #
He asked the nurse . #
She said wine , he , she suggested whisky and oh no not that much then , oh no you're worth more than that , you know the usual thing to #
Yeah . #
Erm his , his cold looks as though it's settling in his eyes #
you know it's what else ? #
Erm we didn't play cards he was a bit he was okay but he was obviously he's finding it hard at times . #
Staying with it you know , he's tired . #
Don't look , there's no need to look like that ! #
He was just #
he was tired , he's got this cold coming on but he said you can be in here so long but after a while you feel as though you've got to come out , you need to get out ! #
You know he , and he's at that point now #
where he needs to get out . #
Which is fair enough . #
Alright , yeah ? #
Has er Tony phoned ? #
Cos he said he'd phone back . #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
Yeah . #
Have you explained ? #

He thinks they'll be able to #
Yeah . #
Mhm . #
You're joking ? #
There just might be too many people there . #
Yeah . #
Well we've got to we've gotta go there sort this bedroom out . #
Doesn't matter . #
Doesn't matter Paul , they say i i #
in a place like that Paul people are coming and going all the time . #
Well let's hope we don't have to go back ! #
Er no . #
Unopened ? #
Yeah ? #
Erm yeah he's okay , he was he's in good spirits . #
He's looking to getting out of the hospit looking forward to a , a change #
of of scenery and so on . #
I was thinking you know he's go I don't know how long he's gonna be cooped up in that bedroom #
you know , how long #
and getting up and that would it be worthwhile buying him #
Buying him one ? #
Not ge you know just #
To whom ? #
To whom ? #
When ? #
What was their reaction ? #
Really ? #
your mum doesn't she ? #
That's a simple one she said . #
That's what I was thinking . #
No . #
No . #
The only thing is he's gonna find being a lot of tensions there . #
Once the erm initial ecstasy of being home has is over . #
Er #
I don't know how long that'll take for it to be over , whether five minutes or fi #
or ten hours . #
Pardon ? #
From them you know ma that she's got over the ecstasy of , yes he's coming home ? #
She's not looking forward to it ? #
No ? #
Right . #
She's been saying that ? #
And what and surely you didn't just say nothing to that ? #
Didn't you tell her that was a bit unfair ? #
You can tell her , I'm afraid that's what you need to do ! #
No , no , no , the longer you the longer you let something like that ride #
Ah well no that's #
Yep . #
Yeah but what I'm saying is when she says things like that I think you've got to be clear and honest with her . #
And it , it isn't a personal thing on his part it's no not going shopping or driving her here there and everywhere because he he , he , he er er he doesn't want to it's just that he's incap he will be incapable of doing it . #
Sh surely she understands that ? #
Well , in New Zealand . #

When did you get #
cayleyed #
We're recording now #
She's an old lady though #
It is , yes , that's making it worse she's an old lady #
No she'd drive me #
up the wall #
I thought I could , I thought I could I really thought I could but oh God I'd be okay if I could #
could go deaf , if I could go selectively deaf , then I'll be alright #
Well that's fair enough #
No I think that's just showing interest , that's the questioning that's just showing interest #
Yeah , that's , that's when it's hard she asks you the same thing again and again and a few minutes later , then half an hour later , then , then you think have you listened #
What learn how to #
She hasn't got one #
She's not going to get one #
Oh I see , yeah , ah , go , she's just , she's just got to have something to do #
Well yeah but she is seven seventy isn't she has it always taken her or has it ? #
It's always taken twice , three times the length of time as anybody else ? #
Bit of exercise keeping herself fit #
Pardon ? #
You wonder if Philip was what ? #
Oh I think it was psychological that #
Erm , well what your mum and dad said to me is that he gets very worried , het up , really tensed about doing things , that's going , you know , things that are gonna happen , like just driving down to a different place , er and he get's himse himself so het up , so worried , he makes himself ill , I think that's what's happened #
The pressure was off and he was fine and he was he was his normal self and that's what happens each time #
Yeah , he made a miraculous recovery today and I think that seems to point or to confirm what your , what your mum and dad was saying #
Yeah I'm afraid so , I think it's compounded by the fact that your , what your dad says sums it up beautifully about your mum , I was talking to him about , you know , what does she , what she's got in her life other than what she ever had other than a home , working and so on , has she got any hobbies at home or does she do anything is there anything that takes her mind off things #
and he says no she hasn't , she , her hobby is Philip #
Then she turns on him #
then she turns on him , yes #
Mimics #
You are my mother #
the Germans are out are they ? #
Must get better a few people are walking about very , very #

yeah , when we came back , did we see your mum and dad and Philip when we came back from that ? #
Did we talk about where we'd been and what we'd done , what we'd seen and what had happened ? #
No here #
Yeah #
Well today we were behind a G registration Jag and I turned to Paul and I said oh maybe that's one of the Jaguars we saw being built in Coventry and I said no , no , no , corrected myself , I said couldn't of been #
because it would have to of been H reg wouldn't it ? #
And then she said oh , have you seen Jaguars being made ? #
I thought yeah , last year , don't you remember ? #
No , why did you go to Cadburys ? #
And then it was oh we didn't , you know , you had a free sample at Cadburys , oh , I said we got a free sample from Jaguar , we got some walnut veneer which is , I suppose , half Cadburys #
no , oh I said well do do don't you remember we went to Massey Fergusons as well #

Oh God I thought ya , ya , ya , ya , ya #
She could be , actually she could be going #
started to go #
She could be #
She's a bit young for that though #
No I think the mother-in-law jokes are right she's a cracker hope it isn't too busy in here #
You'll end up shopping then #
It will you'll end up going shopping #
Well do , do you want me to put a five pound bet on that ? #

Take her out , take her out yeah #
Okay , let's see if we can find a parking spot , here , it'll do nicely , or there or there , no there's not one there #
Do that one , bit worried about that computer in the back you know #

How much are these now ? #
It isn't a case of wanting them they're such good knives you don't get them at that price , too often right can we just have a look at the price of microwaves , while we're here #

Why wants some #
Here we are , what do you need ? #
What shampoo ? #
Wash and Go #
Don't lean on it #
make you go to sleep #
It looks like a bomb has hit it here #
I don't think we need anything else out of here do we ? #
No #
pardon ? #
they can see it , but there's two different types we'll try that one though #
how much is this ? #
God that brings back memories #
let's seal it , now you want some goats cheese with that , that's what you'll need , lying on the beach at midnight going to sleep in your sleeping bag , with a bottle of that and your goats cheese #
Are we ? #
Where we going to ? #
Famous last words #
he'll be back in hospital #
Here are Paula , it's better stuff #
It's good for you #
They'll say home #
We'll have a week at home then , cheapest place you can go , I tell you where you can go that's really good , your mum's , have a week with your mother nervous wreck by the sea #
Do we need washing powder ? #
What about erm , oven top cleaner ? #
Got it , yeah oh #
ah I think he might find he will be #
Yes we're alright , er salt , are we okay for salt ? #
I haven't bought any recently #
Facilities Northgate , I thought the people at Stowmarket at Stow Utland were on the par with the others , you know you can get , you can easily be convinced that the place is good because of it #
because of the look of it , when in fact that's only part of it it depends whether he's gonna be motivated there , they mo it's not gonna need much motivation but if people are interested in you for what you are like , like they have been , yeah , and he's experienced all , he's been somebody special there hasn't he ? #
Yeah , and if he becomes just an auto run it could just knock him back a bit , one of the crowd , you know , just another one #
Er , I hope I don't think #
I don't think it will , but I'm sure it wouldn't do at the other two places #
I was hop I hadn't , I hadn't really made up my mind that's plenty biscuits Paula , yeah it's plent don't get , biscuit mania , Easter eggs , God #
No I don't when is Easter , it's late isn't it ? #
April , it's another six weeks yet isn't it ? #
What you looking for ? #
Anything special ? #
Pardon ? #
Nothing oh dear #
No #
no I think it's the speciality is that , in him and how he reacts with people , it isn't you know just what he's good at or not good at #
Don't think he'll what ? #
Yeah , but it depends what , how it takes , what form it takes if he's if it's sort of their others are of similar ability , okay , but if it's because , if people don't take any notice of him because of #
no just because of they're that type , they don't take any notice of anybody #
you know , don't take an interest in them as people #
I think that could happen anywhere , but #
but #
No it doesn't , he , he doesn't have to follow his brother's footsteps #
he's got to be his own person #
he's got to be himself , for , yeah selfish it's been easier for us for transport problem , if Paul decides to go somewhere else I think you've got to give 'em them freedom to do it , freedom of choice #
Really , so Paul is in , hasn't got freedom then ? #
Is that right ? #
Is that what Paul said ? #
Good , it'll do him good #
I think , I think he needs to do it #
No I just think he needs to do it #
He , he just might grow up a little bit #
oh yes , which ones #
There's , there's one of these beef and tomato I think , I seem to recognize that #
I'd be more worried about Tony , cos I don't think Tony's as well wise as Paul is , in some ways really for both of them it wouldn't do them any harm you know because look , they're , they're , they're not typical lads in many ways #
which I they're not typical lads in many ways are they ? #
you know I rather did it before because if you do it after that's when the job situation becomes a bit of problem , look at John , look what's happening there #
Don't know , I've never spoken to him at all , don't know #
The degree #
Oh God do you want some toast then ? #
I'm gonna get some healthy bread any blackcurrant pies ? #
Why is it that you have everything but , there you are , there you are they're cheap too aren't they ? #

How many have you got so far ? #
Dunno #
You're in the way Paula #
Just check that , make sure you've got no doubles going through #
Anything ? #
Yeah , even so a hundred and six pounds is a lot of money , when did you last come shopping ? #
Yeah how much did those two boxes cost ? #
Three pounds each , six pounds #
Ah , yeah , yeah , so , you take that off , you take the six off for those boxes that's a hundred , take fifteen off for the t-shirts , you're talking eighty five pounds then . #
Mm , mm #
Yeah , because it's money for you to spend #
Whatever money's left over that's not been committed by you , if they find that they've got fifteen hundred say , that's not been committed by you at the end of the financial year , that will automatically go into deposit #
And were you getting that four thousand from last year's , this year's money ? #
This year's trigger #
Ah #
Yeah #
Yeah #
So they'll have fifteen thousand on deposit #
Ooh #
But , hold on #
Yeah , but , er , I've got six thousand carried forward from last year , okay you've got twelve they've got six #
yeah , see what I mean , and this year , the budget #
I've got this year it's all accounted for , I can't take anything out of it #
and , and put it to and put it into a deposit , you know this , this building I want , at the back , there's , there's nothing there , pardon ? #
Well , yeah , there's plenty of time , I don't think sort of , it's not a magic one is it ?Is it gonna fly ? #
Oh no #
Well just , I put it under here as well #
bring them back if it's sticking up #
hold on , let's put this box in first , let's get this out , right #
No #
that's light the rest I'll have to #
there are , all that lot'll have to go onto the seats , mind your fingers can you go down there , open that door no you'll have to come this side , I'll have to pass them through to you okay on the floor Paula might be bet the heavier stuff , then if it does fall off it's not going to make a mess #
see that's gonna , see what I mean , as we go along that'll fall on the floor that , you'll have it all over the place , put it away okay , get some petrol now on the way #
Yes , that's because of the floor area #
At the moment ? #
Sixty seven #
Crazy innit ? #
but the implication , the big your biggest charge on the school is the staff #
that's why it's crazy you see it , oh , it doesn't make sense that so much emphasis is put on floor area if er less emphasis is put on floor area and more on children #
Er , yeah , but there's a heck of an #
because it , the biggest cost us teachers and the number of teachers you need is governed by the number of #
children you have #
I'm not , I'm not saying that you should have any #
I , I don't think you should have any less money , I'm saying that we should have more , we are , we're losing out #
you're not gaining it's #
it's us that are losing out #
there should be more emphasis on , on number of children that was lucky , it's on this side isn't it ? #
Your side the erm cap , petrol cap are we paying by Access ? #
Oh I thought that was your , that was one of the teachers at the course there #
The trigger on that gun went at fifteen pounds , er just about #
sixteen , I've got the card here okay #

Really , are you gonna carry on taking the those red bombers #
that he's given you ? #
Seven #
Oh you've had today's ? #
So it's three tomorrow you know we've got away with this winter #
Yeah we had , er that cold snap before Christmas and was it November ? #
And we've had one or two cold snaps , little cold snaps #
hadn't real we've had the frost of we have #
we haven't had the bad weather , we haven't had the fogs that #
we haven't had the fogs that other people have had #
we've done very well for escaping it , the only trouble is we haven't got the rain and now , this , this coming summer I dread to think what's gonna happen , look how dry those fields are , just look at it if we get a wind up , if we , a wind starts to blow it'll move a lot of this , it will just lift it up into the air , we'll get clouds of soil blowing all over the place . #
We won't , we won't have snow drifts we'll have soil , soil drifts , as daft as that , God where is all this traffic coming from ? #
Oh , yo , yo , yo , yo if he pulls up he's , he's a goner , ah , pull off there , the bus got off , has he ? #
Now #
right up his backside #
Was it because he was tired ? #
washed out he very quickly got tired , you remember in hospital , he quickly got tired and if he laid down he quickly seemed to get his energy back , he'd come back and be #
God I hope not but it is a reaction obviously er to the radiation treatment but #
it's the amount of tiredness that is cu you know he's showing and , and his speed into tiredness and then his recovery from it , that's unusual that he could be #
Well he's on six lots isn't he ? #
What ? #
What , designed to do what then ? #
To relax him #
Ah , yeah , maybe #
Looks as though Ipswich have won #
all the scarfs are flying #
Well they usually don't fly when , when they've got beaten , let's see what's on there we are #
That's division three division three this West Brom #
One week , what he wants to do is to change it round #
Nil seven away , scored seven away four , three he said down here didn't he that lad ? #
So what's , when you say he's #
when you say he's got erm , he's going to Saint Paul's as a pupil ? #
He must have a good voice then #
he's blossomed since you've been there #
Oh do you think Anna would of , I hope she's doing something like this #
Pardon ? #
If she's er if she's sorted a village out , that'll be great #
say , sort out erm a school #
With a school , yeah we could be asking too much you know #
with that #
You don't think so ? #
That's right #
Yeah #
What about the Hungarians , you know that thing about the #
Who you going to ring Romanian Relief ? #
Is it only office hours ? #
Does er we need to know things like that and if you #
Why ? #
If these are the problems #
or not #
Mm , doesn't matter #
taxes ? #
That's why I don't , well if the Hungarians are gonna charge is it two thousand pounds or something ? #
If they go and charge that we #
we can't afford that #
Yeah , but if you get it back in funds well that's no use to you is it ? #
Who's gonna take two thousand pounds worth of pounds out of Hungary ? #
Who ? #
Nobody in their right mind , do you remember that , were you there when that guy from Kuwait #
tried to change #
his foreign and done it , done it all legally at the hotel and so on #
and the state he was in and they didn't want to know did they ? #
They more or less called him a fool when he tried to change back into whatever it was our current whatever it was and if that's the case erm Hungar Hungarians are holding on to this two thousand pound , it's surety isn't it ? #
You'd be stoned dead #
well , well that's what it is but if you can get into Romania #
I can't see that honestly I just , I just #
can't see them #
seeing it as an import so they're taxing imports #
I think I wouldn't of thought they'd be so thick skinned as to turn away help , that so much help , I just can't see it #
They've had , not just from Britain they've had help , they've had it from all over Europe and it's still #
it's still going in , the media's involved in it as well , I would of thought people like Anneke Rice would of picked that up Are you going to try her again #
Well it's , it's gonna be very late there , you'll be getting her out of bed if you're not careful I know she says it doesn't mind , she , she doesn't mind it doesn't matter , but oh dear , there's a piece here in the newspaper did you see that ? #
Mrs have you heard of her ? #
Have you heard of her ? #
No I don't , she's obviously been before or been involved with it before What time does Tony want picking up ? #
Same as Paul #
Right mm wonder which way this paper's going to go , on the election , there's a piece here about title that that's no way to treat a lady no , I think it's all to do with , yeah it looks like #
An Access card had been found at a meeting of the Liberal Democrats for Eastern Region contracts , and , M S Sue Sutton , who was a candidate for #
South West #
Hampstead they've found , and the paper says the grey haired woman who #
to collect the card but did Ms Sutton gracefully rise from her seat to hand it to her , no , she tossed it over the rim of the platform onto the floor below leaving the poor woman to scrabble around for several minutes looking for it and the , and the punch line is a little later an embarrassed Ms Sutton is contesting Cambridgeshire South West for the Lib Dems at the general election , apologised for her cavalier behaviour , let us hope she learnt from the experience yeah #
now what on earth has that got to do with a policy of a political party , the way somebody handles a lost Access card I wonder , mm ? #
No way #
