(music) #1209 - Sunday Papers - Let Me Bore You To Sleep (6th October 2024)

Hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name's Jason Newland. This is Let Me Bore You To Sleep and today is Sunday Newspapers! Sunday, Sunday, Sunday Newspapers! See I have like a little jingle before each podcast episode. I hope you appreciate that.

I spent a long time recording that and I'm hoping that Vinnie manages to keep quiet because there's a dog downstairs that's just screaming. It's basically, I guess he wants to, he's been left alone for a little while which is a bit like what Vinnie does and he's really making, he's a puppy and he's making so much noise. It's high-pitched.

It doesn't actually affect me personally because it's not that loud but Vinnie can hear it and he can really hear it and he now he knows who it is because he's met a dog and it's a little dog that lives downstairs. It's a little now but it's going to be huge apparently but it's a puppy and beautiful, beautiful little boy. Honestly he's so cute and so soft but also really full of energy like puppies are and Vinnie was barking at him like around him because he kept, he kept jumping on Vinnie.

He's bigger than Vinnie and he's a puppy. He's bigger, he's yeah, he's quite a bit bigger. Not a huge amount bigger but bigger and Vinnie didn't like it and I think Vin thought he was the boss, you know he should be the boss and downstairs used to be his place because my friend lived in that flat so that was his his domain as it were but up here, in fact he knew downstairs before he came up here.

He'd been in there a few times so to come, you know when he goes down there he thinks it's still his place but it isn't, is it Vinnie? No, now he's just listening. You can see his ears flapping. Oh dear, so please only listen when you can safely close your eyes if I haven't already said that.

Vinnie's coming in for the cuddle now so he's gonna, he's gonna back up and cuddle into my body, yeah unless you're gonna bark. Now I won't edit that little bark out but if you do start barking Vin, I'm gonna have to put you in a bedroom. I won't have any choice because it's taken me way too long to edit these recordings these days.

These recordings, these days, these, these, these. He's constantly having to listen through to see if he's barking and try not to miss it out and because the recordings are quite long as well for some reason I seem to have, I seem to be making longer recordings over time. I mean the way it's going, I reckon in a year's time I'll be doing like, I'll be doing 10-hour recordings without even having to add anything on, just me talking for 10 hours which will be too long and impossible to edit, just impossible.

It's, yeah, so anyway, what's happened? Not a lot. I woke up today, I woke up very early. Vinnie was being a little bit restless again.

I think it's because the dog downstairs, so he's kind of a little bit on edge which puts me a little bit on edge and I woke up very early. So I, I got up and I thought, I might as well just get up. I got up and then decided to get up.

You know, I got up, did a wee wee and then I thought, what's the point in going back to bed when I'm just going to be laying there? It's just disappointing. So I went and did the editing. I was half falling asleep while I was doing that and all the stuff that goes with that and then eventually I did go back to bed for an hour or two afterwards and I'm feeling quite hungry if I'm honest.

You know, I don't like to be honest but I'm feeling quite hungry. But yeah, it was, it's all right. So I got it done and uploaded it, made the 10 hour version of the video.

So I'll tell you about that. So the new thing that I'm doing is I am making, so I make the normal recording on YouTube and still doing the one with music five hours and 10 hours available on the podcast and then I create a video, a 10 hour video without any music on YouTube. I post that onto, takes a while to upload and to produce and all that stuff.

Takes a couple of hours, two or three hours from start to finish. But then I, it's 10 hours long you know, so it's quite, takes quite a lot of energy from the computer and the internet. So then I create a page on my website specifically for the new recording and I embed an audio player and a video player, an audio that you can listen to stream and a video you can watch, which is the one that's on YouTube.

And then I upload the all four recordings so that you can download them for free on that page or from that page. Then embed the on my first page, if the front page of the website, you know just the home page, there is I always have the first, the most latest video and the latest audio and there's a list again like a little playlist of the latest ones.

So that that's quite cool.

So I've got that on there. It's quite time consuming to get it all updated every day. I've got one thing on automatic but the video couldn't really find a way to do YouTube automatically to to embed the latest YouTube video.

And there is a way probably, there must be a way but it's a little bit too technical for me. So I might look into it in the future because it would definitely be good to get as much automated as possible. But the actual latest audio recording, because I've got a playlist, it just automatically updates it whenever I upload a new one.

So that's good. And what else? That's it really. I've got my Facebook group Jason Newland's Boring Group.

So you can join that if you're a super fan. And yeah, oh man, it was proper raining today. I went out this morning, I took him out.

And we're going to go, we're going to go for a thingy. I won't say out loud. Too much rain.

So we went into the garden and stood under the tree and I was begging him to do a wee wee. Please, please, please do a wee wee wee wee, please. And eventually he did something and then we went back inside.

I just didn't, I didn't fancy getting soaked through. Just wasn't, didn't really appeal to me for some reason. And then we waited till I think it was gone four o'clock and we went out for a walk.

We had a proper walk this time. And it wasn't raining. It was a little bit musty, you know, musty rain where it's not really raining, but it's kind of musty.

Kind of is raining, but it's not really. It's almost like it's just, the rain is just static in the air and you walk through it. Blimey, there's a toilet downstairs.

I made a lot of noise. So yeah, I went out, but it kind of cleared up once I was out. And then, oh itchy ear.

And then we came back. Yeah. And I spent most of the day working on the YouTube channel, posting links to the website, the individual website pages.

For example, I haven't done today's one yet. Wow. That's a good point.

So if you click on a, on one of the YouTube videos, one of the more later ones, you'll see, in fact, any of the Let Me Bore You To Sleep, apart from today's, but that should be done. Not today's, yesterday's. Yeah.

Like the Saturday magazines, that one. So the first, right at the top of the description, there it says download all four versions of this MP3 free or something. And then there's a link to the page.

So that's something I do for every new pay, every new video as well, links to the new page. So yeah, it's, it's a, it's a quite a lot to do. I've done all the Let Me Bore You To Sleep ones.

I'm now doing the Relax and Sleep Hypnosis daily ones, and I'm 130 in of about 220 or 209, I think maybe. And then I'll do all the others. So that's going to take the rest of the week probably.

But I have to be careful because I am not ignoring, but I'm kind of not focusing on the university course, which I should be because it started officially yesterday. Although there was a week previous that was part of the course as well, which I haven't done, but I'm not even started. So I need to what I'm going to do tomorrow, actually get on it.

And then every day of the week, weekdays, I'm gonna maybe try and do it. So 16 hours a week. 36, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.

36, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. 36, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16. 36, 9, 13, 14, 15.

So five days, three hours is 15 hours. So one hour divided into five, what's that? Two, four, six, no, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 minutes, 10 minutes. And it's about three hours and 10 minutes.

Two, four, six, eight, two, okay. Three hours and 12 minutes is no. Yeah.

Two, four, six, eight, yeah. Three hours and 12 minutes. That's a bit specific, isn't it? Per day, three hours, it seems like a lot.

It doesn't seem like a lot, three hours. But I probably spend more, I do spend more than that doing these podcasts. But yeah, so I need to take, be a little bit more, try and be a bit more organized.

So I've got a kind of a routine for the podcasts, you know, make the recording in the afternoon or early evening. It's now currently 23 minutes past 6pm. And I will so have this done by whatever time I get this finished.

And then I'll then I'll turn everything off and I will upload first thing in the morning and process and work stuff, edits and all everything. So yeah, that's kind of my lot of routine. Because there used to be a time when I'd make a recording and then I'd edit straight away and process and upload.

And because I knew all the work that was to be done, it almost put me off wanting to make a recording. Because I knew it's going to be the next maybe three, four, four hours, five hours even before it's all done. And I thought, nah, but this is a bit easier because I separate the two things, you know, recording and then the editing separate different day.

It's just nice to have that break from it. Other than the fact, well, I can't remember what I talked about the day before. So thank you to Cara for your lovely words about one of my recordings.

Right, then he started barking. But to be fair, there was a lot of noise outside as well. So he didn't have a lot of choice really.

Didn't have much choice. You're gonna lay down and cuddles. Come baby, cuddles.

Give me cuddles. Come on. Good boy.

That's it. Cuddle. No, he's not.

Fair enough. So today we are doing the Sunday papers. And I'll try and look through some different papers because it's quite a few to go through.

Daily Mirror. What? Retros. Wow.

Here's one. This is the retro. Daily Mirror.

Readly Retros. This is from Wednesday, October 2, 1974. Blimey.

I wonder if it's going to go through. Oh, it's not. Oh, it is.

The cost of keeping quiet. Wow. Nixon's men go on trial.

A pat on the back for Britain. New motor strike chaos. It's 14,000.

The weather, 35, 55, 59, 54, 56, 54, 57. No, 13. Wait a minute.

13 degrees. So sorry, 55 is like, that'd be 100 Fahrenheit. So centigrade, 13, 13, 15, 12.

So it's raging around like the 14, 14, 13 centigrade, which is about normal this time of year. I don't know what it is now. Secret of the back row boys.

The smiling boy in the back row did not reveal his identity during the three week holiday visit to a French school. Andrew. Oh dear.

Oh no, not all day. No, no, no, I'm just, this, the current, the, he was introduced simply as a son of a landowner and a non-working mother. And he went on famous.

So the secret only came out when he returned to England. The non-working mother was the queen and the boy was Prince Andrew. So he went on a school trip.

This is 1974. This time, 1974, Prince Andrew went on a school trip. And yeah, he was keeping secrets back then.

And the soccer playing Prince was in a party from the school parties. He also scored in the classroom. A newspaper said yesterday, he also scored in the classroom.

What does that mean? Andrew is a bright student and certainly plays a jolly good game of football. Very few people knew who he was. We had to be discreet for security reasons, but naturally the family he stayed with were informed.

You think so, wouldn't you? Yeah. Andrew's trip was part of an annual, annual, annual exchange visit. Oh, is, is this weird? This really strange looking old newspapers.

I like this. So this is the, the Daily Mirror, 1974, October 2nd. So up goes sugar.

Tate and Lyle. I was two years old. No, I was 94 years old.

Up Tate and Lyle, the Mr. Cube giant, is putting up the price of sugar by one and a half pence for a two-ib bag. One and a half pence. The rise, the second this year, will increase the average price in the shops to about 14 and a half pence.

14 and a half pence for a bag of sugar. That's just ridiculous. It's not a huge amount now, really.

If you go to like a supermarket, you'd probably get, it might be two pounds. No. Yeah, that's for a big bag.

The little bag. Yeah, so it's probably a couple of quid for the big bags now. Two pounds.

Or is it a kilo? Do you get kilo sugar? I'm not sure. It's caused by a high refining, higher refining costs and by higher prices, which Tate and Lyle had to pay during a sugar shortage, sugar shortage. For supplies from countries they do not usually deal with.

Britain's big three bakers have asked the price commission to approve a half a pence rise on a loaf of bread. That's weird. Bakers have to ask to put up the price of bread.

Shouldn't it be up to them how much they charge for bread? Didn't know that. So what else? What have we got? Healy takes US by storm. Dennis Healy gets off a British Airways flight in London this morning.

He would still be switched. I don't know what that's about. Page three.

Oh, the Daily Mirror and a different page three. Usually has a model on there. Britain wants a vote on Europe.

Wow. So most people want the right to decide whether Britain stays in the common market. Mr. Wilson said last night.

So I'm guessing Mr. Wilson was the Prime Minister at the time. But only Labour would give them that chance, said the Prime Minister. He supported his claim that people of all parties wanted a market vote by quoting figures.

Oh, blimey. So there's a big advert for cigarettes. Blimey.

36 pence. Wow. Bad word in here.

Right. This is guards. This is like literally a genuine cigarette advert.

Guards king size 34 pence. Two pence less than other king size. So it's 36.

Yeah, only 34 pence, not 36 for 20. So it's 36 pence for 20. Would be the average price for 20 cigarettes back then.

It's now 20 pound. If that was the case, if sugar went up the same price, then a bag of sugar would now be. Wow.

I can't even work it out. 20 pound. How many thousands of percentages that gone up? Blimey.

But there is a really bad this is this they've got a big headline, which is not a good headline there. And, you know, it says, cut your smoking costs at a stroke. It's like, no, that's bad wording.

Bad wording. But this is back in the 70s. They weren't.

I think I think even doctors used to smoke in the surgeries back then. Labour peril by Heath. God, it's the same thing.

It's exactly the same as it is now. The newspapers is constantly picking on the politicians like all the time, all the time. Oh, look at this.

There's an advert here for a Mazda. Okay, here we go. This car was made for a small, overpopulated island where petrol is expensive and repair bills high.

It could do well in Britain too. Wow. That's a bit of a controversial thing, isn't it? Car was made for a small, overpopulated island where petrol is expensive and repair bills are high.

So obviously, that's where they were back then. Overpopulated in 1974. What are we now? Blimey.

So yeah, that was a bit controversial, wasn't it? I mean, can you imagine they do an advert like that now? It's for a car. If you think things are pretty tough over here, you should drive a car in Japan. They got less room, higher bills, no North Sea oil to look forward to.

So if the Mazda 100,000, rather, can make a go of it where it's really tough, it ought to thrive in Britain. For a start, it was built to be right-hand drive, so there's none of the conversion problems you get with some foreign cars. I love this.

This is funny. Wow. And it's got in brackets, like the passenger getting more of his windscreen wiped than the driver.

Yeah, I guess. Blimey. Like us, most of their driving is done in the city streets.

So the Mazda 1000 has a turning circle of only 27. I don't know what that means. And if you can leave a car out all night in Tokyo, average annual rain 66.

You won't have too much trouble in a sunny place like Manchester. Average rainfall 33. Sunny.

I mean, I've never known this country to be described as sunny, ever. But I remember my memory of the 70s was it was sunnier. You know, that's my like summers were sunny and hot, really hot.

And yeah, just memory, I suppose. Wow, this is like a proper big page and expecting people to read it all. As for petrol consumption, you can expect up to 45 mpg or miles per gallon on the cheapest two star variety.

The 985 cc overhead cam engine has an alloy head at a top speed of over 80. Wow. But the biggest thing that makes it a success in Japan also seems to be its biggest attraction over here.

It's a lot of a car. It's a lot of car for the money at £1,079. £1,079 for a brand new car.

Yeah, well, it's a while back in it. You get two speed wipers as well. Oh, if you'd like more power, or more room, there's a 1300 cc version and an estate car.

But we'd advise you make up your mind soon. One thing Japan and Britain have in common is price rises. And our next one is due this autumn.

That's the budget time which is coming soon here. And it's like really weird how how kind of political politically integrated that advert was Marge Proops Ah, that's right. No wonder there's a bunny shortage.

So this is one of the this is like the agony, agony thingy. It came as no surprise to me to learn of the problems the Playboy Club is facing in recruiting bunny girls. 1974 everyone.

Wages are high, fringe benefits attractive, but girls are certainly not flocking to become glorified waitresses in black tights and fluffy little towels on their bottoms. So, so desperate is the bunny shortage that their recruiting officer hoped to scout around the top girl schools. What? Are you? Are you serious? Right, here we go.

So, so desperate is the bunny shortage that their recruiting officer hoped to scout around the top girls schools in the hope of finding possible talent among the hockey and lacrosse set. Wow. Can you imagine that now? But the headmistress of the three top snob schools have given a cool turndown to the suggestion that this particular career is one of their people.

That that this particular career is one their people should pursue. I would have been amazed if any sensible headmistress felt there was worthwhile job potential in being a bunny. It's hardly a career a responsible teacher would recommend.

So the fact that there's no rush of applicants indicates to me that more and more girls are becoming disenchanted with the idea of earning a living as sex symbols. Okay, the men who enjoy the services of buddies and presumably get a great kick out of being served their soup by a girl whose bosom is spoiling over her tight corset top. I reckon can blame the shortage on the women's lip movement.

So this is an agony on this is this is this is her her comment on this. So she's blaming the women's lip. Not even girls that claim they scorn the militant antics of the liberals are more influenced by them than they imagine.

The number of girls prepared to subordinate themselves wearing that ludicrous outdated gear in order to serve food and drink to goggle eyed tired businessmen is decreasing. And quite rightly to sort of the shortage of bunnies is one more demonstration of the fact that the exploited sex symbol is on the way out. I join the liberals in shouting hooray and wow so that's from 1974.

What are you doing Vinnie? I can't believe he just can't behave himself. Look at this for an advert. A free stretch cover when you send for a free brochure.

For the next 14 days only when you send for the plums stretch cover brochure we will also you will also receive absolutely free of charge and without obligation a dining chair cover. Judge for yourself the superb quality and value for money. Machine washable, drip dry, colourfast, hardware and double stretch fabric.

A perfect fit every time. I don't even know what that is but it's one pound fifty. Only one pound fifty.

But it says a free you get you get it free so what what is one pound fifty? It's a dining chair cover but it says you send you're you're also you oh you receive it free of charge and without obligation. Okay so they'll send you it but you do still need to pay for it or send it back. Wow a big freeze on love.

What's this one? Dear Marge or Margie Marge my boyfriend is very loving and demonstrative in public but as soon as we're alone he freezes. Get a warmer flat. On buses, in the street, at parties or when he comes to our house he's forever cuddling and kissing me.

All my friends think I'm very lucky to have a boy who is so loving but when my parents go out and we're alone in the house he doesn't even sit next to me. I don't know why that's funny. It's usually the other way around isn't it? It's like maybe I don't know.

I don't like to broach the subject with him because I'm crazy about him and I don't want to lose him. Why do you think that he acts this way and is there anything I can do? I am 18 and he is 23 and we have been going steady for seven months. So Margie answers I haven't a clue.

Why would you post? She must have got like thousands of letters a week. Why would she post one that she doesn't got an answer for? I haven't got a clue why your boyfriend freezes when you're alone. I could make a guess or two.

He could be one of those males who intends to wait for the honeymoon before making you his very own in the fullest sense of the world. Word rather. And know that once he starts something it's very difficult to stop.

He could be maintaining strict self-discipline so as not to be tempted. Or it could simply be that he regards you as a nice cuddly girlfriend but not as a future mate and doesn't want to get deeply involved with you. But my guess is as good as yours and the only way to find out is to ask him.

Now wait a minute. I'm not writing to you for your guess to be as good as mine. Otherwise there's no point me writing to you is there? Marge? What was the point? Marge? I mean I just give... You have to be careful though how you tackle this delicate subject.

You don't want to start him questioning your motives and priorities. Really? Still I think that if it's going to turn into a serious relationship with marriage as the ultimate goal for you both the time must come when it's a good idea to have a sensible talk and decide this time the time has come to come. But don't rush it.

Wait until there's some clarification about the future. It would be foolish to get as far as calling the... calling them what? The band bananas. Calling the bands before trying to discover whether or not you're going to have a fulfilled and well-balanced life together.

I don't know what that means. You could... not the last bit. Have a fulfilled and well-balanced life together.

I understand that. I understand the concept at least. But what is as far as calling the bands? I don't know what that means.

You can afford to be patient for time will tell if he wants you for a casual girlfriend or a future wife. I wonder what happened. I mean she was 18 when I was four.

So she'll be like in her early 70s now. So I wonder how it worked out for her. She'll be 72.

What was her name? Didn't say. This is she conned him into marriage. Dear Marge.

That's the headline for it. It's a different one. Dear Marge, I suppose I committed just about the worst possible crime to get my man to marry me.

I don't think it's going to be the worst possible crime. Maybe in 74 it was. We've been going together for a year and he... he... he was very reluctant.

It's quite difficult to read it because the... well because I struggle to read. Don't judge me. We've been going together for a year and he was very reluctant to get married.

So I deliberately became pregnant. Oh. I mean it's not a crime but it's... it's... I don't know.

It's something that I don't know people still do these days. Can people still get pregnant these days? I don't know. We've been... I deceived him into thinking I was safe but I knew he'd marry me if he was expecting a baby and we got married two months before our daughter was born.

But now I'm terribly unhappy. I know he doesn't really love me and although he's fond of the baby. Fond of the baby.

Yeah. How do you feel about your... your little baby? I'm fond. I'm fond of him.

Like him as a friend. I mean yeah he's all right. I'm fond.

I mean you love a baby. You love the baby don't you? He's fond of him. He cares a little bit about him.

Fond. Strange word. And okay.

Okay. I know he doesn't really love me and although he's fond of the baby and a good father. Sometimes the look of dislike I see in his eyes when he glances.

Wow. I'm sorry. It's not funny.

It's just. It's. What a situation.

The dislike I see in his eyes when he glances at me. Okay. I'm sure he suspects the truth.

Well. Just don't tell him. There's no reason to tell him unless you've told everyone else and now they're all keeping secrets for you.

As long as it's his kid then the rest is just. It's happened. It's got to move on in it.

That's my. That would be my advice. It's a little bit late to be fair because it's 50.

50 years too late. But you know. But ultimately just.

Just you know. Stay or don't. But you know he's still gonna be the father.

But anyway. I know he doesn't. SEX is almost non-existent.

But what can I do? Should I confess in the hope that he'll understand I did it because I loved and needed him so? Okay. Right. I'd say no.

That's just kind of like what what good can come from it. Basically in that situation. I don't see any anything that could come from that other than.

I suppose it could ease her conscience. But I mean it's obviously not a nice thing to do. But you know.

I've had a. I had a pregnancy once. But it was. It was a false false alarm.

It's a you know. It was a false alarm which was. Yeah.

It's weird. So what's the next one? Oh yeah. She says confessions are not always wise.

But I think in your case it might be the only way. What? So she's advising her to confess. Oh it was constipation.

And it's taking a gamble though. And you ought to know the odds before you admit to your husband that you trapped him into marriage. It's yeah.

I mean. Those are the days when getting married was kind of the the norm wasn't it? People was used to get married very early. Well it wasn't early to them.

But getting married at 18 was quite a normal kind of thing in the 60s and 70s and stuff. Well it still is. It still can be.

There's no. As long as I think you have to be 18 to get married now. Or is it 16? In this country.

I think it's 16 here. And but. Imagine the anger.

16. That's. No.

Different law. Different country. Move on.

Blimey. We've got different laws. It's like we don't have to wait till we're 21 to drink alcohol here.

I mean blimey. Very strange. Strange laws that people have in different countries.

I find that whole having to wait. Because you know people come over here. People come over here.

Americans come here. And I don't think they can believe. That they can drink alcohol in public.

At 18. Without any kind of repercussion. It's like wow.

But in the same way. You know it is illegal. If you go to.

If you're. If you're dating someone that's still married. They might be separated.

But they're still married. And you go on holiday with them together. And you stay in a hotel room.

In certain countries. You go to prison for that. So you know.

It's different. Different rules isn't it. And it wasn't a huge.

I mean. I suppose the gas build up was quite. You know.

I did put a bit of weight on. My belly was expanding. No one could really blame me for thinking it was a baby.

But so she's saying oh you should take a gamble. If you're so sure he knows anyway. Telling him won't be giving any finnies.

Just done a smelly ass guff. And in confession you won't confer. Blimey that's a bit.

I don't know. Stinker of the week. I nominate my.

I nominate my wife's best friend as stinker of the week. She is. Wow.

This gives you the sign of the times. She is separated from her husband. Is now on.

And is now on a hunt for another man. No she doesn't want to be happy does she. How dare her wanting to be happy.

Have a happy life. So she picked on me. But because I love my wife I ignored her suggestion behavior.

Okay she's trying to get other men that are married. Okay that's probably a little bit different. I ignored her suggestions behavior.

Suggested behavior. She then told my wife that I had made a pass at her. And even reported actual words I'd allegedly said.

Wow. Yep stinker of the week she is. That's not good.

Yeah yeah. What is it? Right okay let's have a look what's next. Don't look now.

Portugal takes a turn to the left. Oh the left. The left is tightening its grip on Portugal.

So that's the left rather than the pampered life of the pimps. What? The vice kings of Soho were kept in luxury by their girls a jury heard yesterday. They cashed in on inflated rents and the girls earnings.

And it was alleged the ladies competed to see who could buy their bosses the best presents. Why? Story of the high life pimps was told at the old Bailey vice trial. A dark-haired lady identified as Miss G-Spot claimed that she paid a hundred pound a week rent to one of the accused.

Hundred pound. That's a lot of money. A hundred pound.

When you think about it every two weeks you could buy a new car. Every 10 weeks you could buy a new car. So a hundred pound is a lot of money for rent back then.

A lot of money. I mean if you imagine paying and a pack of cigarettes was 34 pence. A hundred pound for rent.

Wow. This is really weird. Okay so this is a big crime syndicate.

Yeah they're said to have earned up to 600 pound a week. Let's see. Yeah that's the girl.

Well that is that's a lot of money back then. Blimey. It's quite a lot of money now to be fair for me.

The cost of reliant shitter. The car owned by Princess Anne went up from 3,012 to 3,194 yesterday when the company increased its prices by an average of seven percent. The price of a standard reliant robin saloon goes up by 65 to 992.

That's really weird. It's almost like they because did they put I guess must have put the interest rate or the prices up on cars. I don't know.

Just seems weird that they knew the prices of cars. I don't know the prices of cars. Oh look take cover it's a bargain.

Like many other motorists this is an advertisement. Like many other motorists I have problems with my car seat. In winter it's too cold and clammy.

In summer it's too hot and frisky and sticky. The solution I find lies in a guardian sheepskin type seat cover. It's warm in the winter, cool in the summer and it helps beyond that.

I found it excellent too for preventing trouser shine. Trouser shine. What's trouser shine? It washes marvellously easily.

Its usual price is five pound and 20 pence but readers get it for just three pound and 30 pence plus 35 pence for packing and postage. Send off today. Blimey.

You know what? I just remembered I can't connect because it's 50 years ago. Okay plus I don't have a car yeah. Oh look up to 800 green shield stamps free when you buy woman.

It's a magazine. Wow there's got there's a picture two pictures of magazines and there's a picture of a lady with her head sticking out of a green shield stamp. I'm not sure what green shield stamps are.

Don't bodge it. This is another headline now. The bonus system in industry and government departments is making us a nation of bodgers.

There's only one way to do a job and that is properly. But bonus schemes encourage workers to cut corners to get more money. If we did away with the army of so-called time study experts we could afford to let men take more time doing their work well.

Oh this is public opinion. This is people sending in their letters their personal opinions. So the next one is about parole.

I am horrified by the news that more. Okay I'm not I biting biting. I dislike Jeremy Thorpe for setting.

Like I can't read that. I literally can't read it. It's too too um out of focus.

Right so this is the laugh laughter little cartoon. It says two policemen holding hands like crossed arms. All right you can let go now we're off duty.

I really don't know what that. I don't know. Oh I think it's because of all of the strikes and they were kind of so used to help the linking hands to stop rioting and stuff.

So here are some more cartoons. So there's a man sitting there. There must be some food around.

So what is this? So there that's not a bad joke actually. So two blokes on a desert island vultures surrounding them and they've got no food and one of them says there must be some food after all they have to eat too. Yeah it's quite funny.

Can't find you. Can't you forget you're a traffic warden. There's a bloke watching tv with a sign no parking in the car.

A couple of I don't know. I can't can't see them too small. So what's this? Cold shoulder for the temp.

Miss Smith's. Take a cold shoulder. Presenting a self-point of new artist by Tommy Steele.

Tommy Steele's dazzling career took a new turn yesterday when he's launched and he is launching as a part painter and one-man show at a made fair gallery. So Tommy Steele was a celebrity. He used to be he used to do singing and stuff I think.

55 councillors think they have found a sure way fire to save the ratepayers cash. They want 23 of them. What? 55 councillors think they have found a surefire way to save the ratepayers cash.

They want 23 of them to be sacked. The members of the Asheville council in Nottinghamshire have asked the boundaries commission to cut the number of councillors to 32. The chief executive's executive offer Mr Stoney Beedum said yesterday the members have found that a council of 55 for the area is unwieldy.

If the council is cut down savings will be considerable. The number of seats will be cut just because the next council election just before the next council election if the commission agrees. Okay well let's get this into perspective.

So there's 55 councillors they all got together to figure out how to save money and they decided that 23 of them should be sacked. How do you even how? And you know that everyone that voted that that agreed with that were very much probably thinking that it's going to be someone else. It'll be someone else they won't get rid of me.

I've been here for years. The only bar in Ville Longue near Lourdes has been closed because it was closer to the local catholic church than French law permits. Don't they don't they drink wine in church? It's a lockout by Len the caretaker.

Okay so what is this? Caretaker Len Woodall went on strike yesterday and locked 200 pupils and their teachers out of school. Mr Woodall was ordered by his union the National Union of Public Employees to lock the gates and turn off the gas and electricity. Mr Woodall caretaker of the East Sheen primary school at Mort Lake said I hate to do this to the children they feel rotten.

More than 60 schools were affected by the dispute over payments of a new London allowance. But last night the dispute was settled and Noop spokesman said everything will be back to normal. Yes sir.

So there was a lot of striking back then. A lot. It was like constant.

I tell you if you ever um there's a movie called Carry On At Your Convenience. It's a carry-on movie and it's like comedy. It's an old comedy but it it's really making fun of the the how things were back then but constantly strike strike strikes constantly.

So it's kind of funny because that is actually what was going on at the time when they made it. So it's a very um very good political commentary I guess. Uh okay hands up all those okay I've read that one.

Uh okay Augustus Barnett's October Scotch prices. Wow this is these ain't cheap really when you think about well I suppose I mean Scotch whiskey £2.48. Johnny Walker's £2.49. The thing is all prices inclusive 8% VAT. Teachers Bells was £2.59 for a bottle.

Wow so this is Augustus Barnett's £2.49. So I suppose I mean a bottle now would probably be 10 times that probably. Yeah so I don't know just it seems like quite a lot for those days but maybe not. These people keep your food bills down.

Three oh look at this three pence off computers. Well not quite but Peter Kempton our data processing manager uses modern computer techniques which help us to sell your crisp crackers a little cheaper. Uh a whole lot of other foodstuffs too.

Remember Peter is just one of the many people helping to save you money at Safeway. Ah so it's an advert for Safeway supermarket. Sook it says here supermarkets Safeway supermarkets of the 70s.

If you think a supermarket is just shells of merchandise think again. Oh so oh look at this. So this month's this month's £75,000 winner number picked by Ernie the premium bonds draw machine is 1 F F 5 8 9 3 4 9. The winner lives in North Humberside.

The £25,000 winner number is SPL 5 9 2 9 1 3. He lives this person lives in Devon. The five thousand and one thousand weird numbers are. Oh it's not showing anything.

Oh blimey there's quite a few there. There's one two three that's a lot. So yeah some people would just be buying this paper just for that.

Just so they could see whether or not their the premium bonds draw came in. I wonder if they still do it. Look at this.

Where to see Schreiber furniture when the shops are shut. What? In comfortable sitting rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, kitchens and in the Schreiber leaflets. Send to Schreiber furniture Hodderson whatever.

A folder holding leaflets. What? A folder showing all arranged from Britain's furniture maker. Send.

I don't understand that doesn't make sense. You'll also be sent the names and addresses of Schreiber furniture centres. The specially selected shops which now show you practically everything Schreiber makes and which can usually let you have your order within 28 days.

Sometimes even less. What's that got to do? Oh right I suppose you can see the Schreiber furniture because it's on a leaflet. Well that's what they mean by when it's shut.

Okay okay. Oh look look look look look look this. Enjoy your colour TV free home trial but run your beady eye over who's renting.

Ooh they'll run theirs over yours. They want to know you're reliable before leaving a 250 pound set in your living room. It's the same for you.

The law says you have to pay 10 months money in advance whoever you're renting from and your set will quite likely need some attention in that time. So your beady eye ought to look out at what service you're getting among other things. We'll tell you frankly about ours and what we can and can't guarantee doing.

We won't make promises we can't keep. Other people might claim more but when we say our average colour service visit takes around 10 minutes from arriving to getting your picture back you can bank on it. Our sets in terms are good and we're friendly demonstrators, showroom people, service engineers and everyone at DER.

Come in and look us over. Free DER colour TV home trial. No problems, no pressure.

So when you want our man to come and will come and he'll come with whatever set you want. He'll need a powerpoint and an aerial. If he can spare the set he'll probably leave it.

There's nothing to pay, no contract to sign. You don't need a colour license for a demonstration. Ask him anything you like and then he calls back.

Simply say yes or no. If it's no we promise we won't press you to change your mind. We'll simply unplug the set and be away.

If it's yes you can settle things on the spot. Welcome to DER. All rental companies want to give you a demonstration and sign you up.

So do we and we try to be frank and friendly about it as well. Drop in at your local DER showroom and see or phone if you'd rather. We're in your telephone directory or yellow pages.

In our present... what do you think? I tell you it's weird because it's in our present... this is a big advert... in our present national crisis which do you think is more important? Donation or nationalization? What we need... this is Vote Conservative... what we need is a new kind of government. The Conservatives seek a clear majority. Seek a clear majority at this election to form a new kind of government that puts the country crisis before party differences.

Oh look Wimbledon champions Chris Everett and Jimmy Connors have cancelled their wedding due next month. But friends claimed yesterday that was their romance was not on the rocks. It's just they're very much still in love.

They can't be bothered to read the rest of it. Oh into... what's this? The standard Skoda comes complete with 115 pounds of extras. I was supposed to say Skoda now aren't we? Skoda not Skoda.

I know why they did that apparently. I think I know it's because of the asking... I won't say the name A-L-E-X-A or you know some kind of thing and maybe saying Skoda wasn't working. So they're trying to educate the western world to start after... let's face it over 50 years of calling it Skoda now they're supposed to call it Skoda.

And sorry no. They did that with Lidl. I've mentioned this before they kept having adverts going Lidl it's Lidl.

Welcome to Lidl. Great place to eat Lidl. They gave up after a few years and just call it Lidl.

Save a Lidl save a lot. You know they've even rhymed it now for their adverts. They don't call it Lidl anymore they call it Lidl because they realized the one thing about English people is we will not change no matter what you do what you say we will not back down from pronouncing things correctly it's not gonna happen it will not happen So what's next? A modern myth is that Britain is no longer ruled by the old school tie a study by its government supported...

Okay well look at this.

Vinnie's just let one off again. Vinnie's gonna bark in a second. Wow it's got a TV guide.

Let's have a look. Not in colour. Not in colour.

Not in colour. Not in colour. I remember seeing that.

The words not in colour. Blimey. So BBC one there was only back then there was BBC one BBC two and ITV.

That was it. Three channels. So that was on ITV and BBC one.

BBC two 6.40 to 7.30 open university. A play school. A play school.

I thought play school was on BBC one. It's on BBC two. Just see where... no EastEnders.

So BBC one Pebble Mill at one. I used to watch that when I was a kid. So there was like stuff BBC one.

There's all the schools. There's like engineering, science, science sessions, math workshop, maths workshop, words and pictures. Blimey.

And what was on there for the kids? Play school at four o'clock. Boris the Bold. I don't know that one.

Jackanory and there's Yogi's Gang. John Craven's Newsround. I used to watch that.

That last... that was okay. I went on for years. A Little Princess.

Captain Pugwash and then the news 5.45. That was like local news and then the national news at six. So this was Wednesday, October the 2nd. And guess what was on? A movie.

After the news, Carry On Spying, BBC one. I can't remember the last time they put a movie on in the evening. Like it's not a normal movie on a... you know, it's not a normal day.

Like at six o'clock, you know, after the news and stuff. It's usually sort of TV, I don't know, stuff. I suppose it's going to be TV stuff because it's on TV.

Okay. And let's have a look. Oh, look at this.

Sports Night 9.35. Conte is fighting for the light heavyweight championship of the world. So I don't know if it was live or it was just, they were just replaying it back. Let's have a look.

What was in the early evening on ITV? Going Bundle, University Challenge, Crossroads is on 6.35. See, I used to watch Crossroads. And then go to bed afterwards when I was... Blimey, four, five, five or five years old, something like that. Survival of the Million Dollar We... Seaweed, Coronation Street was on at 7.30. Love Thy Neighbor was on at eight.

Tommy Cooper Hour was on at 10 past nine. And then Golf Highlights. So BBC Two, what was on in the early evening? Worldwide, Charles Aznouzou, The Frost Interview, Where We Live, Newcastle.

I think BBC Two was a bit more highbrow back then. A bit more, yeah. So all of this, another advert.

So this is for International, International, the store that you feel at home with, International. So it's got a picture of two people. Nice people, nice prices.

17 pence for a quarter of an ib of Scott Virginia ham. 13 pence for a large can of Spillers Choice Cuts. McVitie's Rich Tea Biscuits, a packet is 12 and a half pence or p as we used to short for it, because pence is a big word for p, this makes it easier.

Sunsilk Hairspray, large, 27p. John West Pilchards in tomato halves, 11p. Ribena, 27p for a bowl, including bottle deposit.

See, recycling is not a new thing. We should do recycling here because it was back there decades and decades and decades ago, where you used to be able to return a bottle and get paid for it, like a penny or whatever. So it's, you pretty much get the money back, so that penny would be, I think it was a penny, it might have been half a penny, I'm not sure.

So it kind of ensured that you'd bring the bottle back, so it would get recycled. And it seems like quite a good idea to do. I mean, no one's going to do that for half a penny, but you know, £10 a bottle, I'd return mine.

Cussons, or Cussons Imperial Leather Ivory Bath Soap, special twin pack. Why would you need a special soap for twins? 23p, Heinz Cream of Tomato or Chicken Vegetable and Farmhouse, 9p for a medium can. OXO Cube Red Chicken, £12.50 for a pack of 12.

And this week's special international, Ceylon Tea and Tea Bags, 20p for a packet of 72 tea bags, or 6.5p for a quarter of Ib tea, loose tea. Wow. Blimey.

4,200 plus for it to be a maintenance man. Roan Consolidated Mines Limited has vacancies for the following categories of maintenance personnel at Kalingvar, an open cast copper mine in Zambia. 4,200 plus, which, I don't know what the annual was back then, what the annual wage was.

I'm guessing that was a lot more than the annual rate in 1974. I'm just trying to figure out like the price of a car. So you wouldn't be able to buy a car for that.

But generally the average, you could buy a car for an annual, annual wage here. And the annual, the average wage is I think 30. Minimum wage is 15.

No, minimum wage is, this is, I think it's 15, maybe it's 17, 15 something, 15,000 pound a year. But the average I think is about 30. But you know, which doesn't really make sense if you start including people that are earning huge amounts of money, and then people are just earning small amounts.

You know, it's, I think they should do, forget the highest earners, forget the lowest earners. So ignore the part timers. I don't mean not in life, but just as far as getting the average wage.

Don't take the part timers as part of that. And don't take anyone that earns more than 50,000 pound a year as part of that either. And then average that lot out.

Then you're going to get more of a proper idea. These are the jobs, these are jobs. So our engineers care, our engineering careers release a lot of potential.

One of the worst things in any career is realizing halfway through that, with the right opportunity and the right encouragement, you could have done a whole lot better. In electricity supply, we're glad to say that things never happen that way. With us, you'll know right from the start that our training, our jobs, and the unique nature of our industry can bring out the very best in you and your career progress will prove it.

And you could start your career in one of the regions of the generating board or with a local area board. Either way, we'll start by sending you to college to study for recognized engineering qualifications, normally an ONC and then an HNC. If you join us with O levels, a degree, if you have an A level entrance between your spells at college, we'll back the theory you've learned with formal instructions in some of the best equipped training centers you'll find in any industry and help you make practical sense of what you learn by giving you real on job experience and the money to match.

And when your training's over, you'll find that our industry is big enough and varied enough to give you a career in the kind of engineering you're good at and interested in. It's a training and a career that demands and brings out your best. I'd have loved to have seen adverts like this when I was a kid.

Instead, the advert I saw was, change your life, come and work in a chip shop. It would be the best thing. Earn nothing.

Waste two years of your life. In this job, anything can happen at any time. Right, are you going to guess what this job is? Whatever you do in the police, you're never bored by the day routine.

Whether you drive a fast patrol car or a dog handler or a detective or a PC on the beat, anything can happen at any time and you get £1,757 a year starting pay, more in London. Plus free housing, free housing or a generous rent allowance. If you're physically fit, why was I told? That's ridiculous.

If you're physically fit, at least 19 and 5 foot 8 or more, women 5 foot 4, send off today for brochure to police careers, officer, home office, department, London. I was told you had to be like 6 foot to be in the police. That's what I was told.

Not by a police person, but I'm 5 foot 9 now. And it used to be 5 foot 8 or 5 foot 9. So I've always been tall enough to be in the police. I could have been a police officer.

That would have been quite a good job for me. Because I like helping people. I also like hurting people.

No, it would have been a good job for me. I actually wanted to be a policeman when I was a kid. And I was told no, you're too short.

I was like, I don't want to be a policeman now. I'm 11. But they said no, you're not going to be tall enough.

And you need to have O levels. So I didn't even try because I always had a kind of a, when I was a kid, a very, not so much now, but when I was a kid, right and wrong. I used to tell people off for swearing.

Seriously, it was, it was a very kind of a law abiding person back then. Wow. So it just goes to show how much that $4,200 a year is for the mine in Zambia.

If you get paid $1,757 a year as a police person. Wow. Here's an advert.

Be your own boss at night. Night security officers, new pay rate, an average of 53 pound plus per week. And Stratford.

Stratford. E15. Wow.

So Victoria, which is SW1, Stratford, Tramway Avenue, East 15, Fulham, Uxbridge, Wandsworth, Enfield, Securicor. Wow. 53 pound a week.

I mean, I was getting what was I getting? When I left school, before I went on the YTS, I was getting like a full rate. My full wages was 60 pound a week when I very first started working full time. And then it went down because I was on this youth training scheme that started in September that year.

And I turned 16 at that point. So when I was 15, oh yeah, 60 pound a week. I feel the average wage was about 100 pound a week, which would have been five grand a year.

And that was in 1986. Yeah, I think five grand a year would have been a good rate for someone my age. Maybe even older.

Rent was, my flat was 40 quid a week. So that's probably, you're probably looking at 40 to 50 quid a week for a flat. So yeah, maybe, maybe you could get more than 100 pound a week.

In fact, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, I was getting more than that. Because when I was 18, I had a job in a factory and I was, I was definitely taking home more around the 600, 550, 600 a month.

I was doing overtime, but yeah, I was definitely getting more than 400 pound, um, 100 pound a week doing that job. Yeah, I was. But I was 88.

And I went back in 90. And I was getting paid. Yeah, I was getting paid 150 a week.

150, 600, maybe 700 a month. Yeah, it might be in seven, six, between six and 700 a month I was getting for that job. It was a good job, actually.

I liked it. It was, um, I was on night shift. And I got on with all the people I worked with, including the supervisors and everything was good.

And then they changed, they moved us to a different, they basically built a new, a new factory next door, gave us two weeks off while they moved all the stuff into the factory. And then basically, I went back. And after a couple of weeks, they decided to change the shifts, they had a, they had a very skeleton scarf on, scarf, a skeleton staff on nights, and they moved me to do shifts like double shifts.

So six to two, one week, two to 10 the next, or two in the afternoon to 10 at night. And I did that for a few weeks and then I left because I couldn't handle it. I needed the stability of just doing the same hours.

I could have done two to 10 easily. But see, I couldn't, at the time, I couldn't get up in the morning. Well, I could, but it was very difficult.

And the night shift was perfect for me. Back then, oh man, I was love, I loved the night shift. I really did.

And I did night shift when I was a security guard, but it was different because there was no stimulation. I was just sitting down, waiting for the time to go by. There was no internet, there was no, you know, there wasn't anything to do really.

I mean, given that position now, I could make recordings. I could take a portable version of what the recording equipment I've got is, and, you know, a half decent microphone, and I could make podcasts every day, and I could work on the website, and I could do all that stuff and get paid for it. Just all night long, just do that.

For, you know, if I got a shift for 12 hours, I could spend eight hours doing that. And then go home and go to sleep. And then wake up and have, you know, the time where I don't have to, I just, yeah, I don't know.

It just, that would be ideal. But not all security jobs were like that. Not all security jobs were static, as far as you could just sit there all night, because, you know, some, you have to walk around the building and, you know, buzz different areas, just so they know that you've done your patrol.

Other ones, you'd have to phone in every hour to make, to let them know that you were awake. Yeah, so other ones, just, I did, worked in a hospital, had no lights in there. It's an old, derelict hospital in London.

And we had to walk around with a torch, patrolling the place, because people would get in there and do weird things. And I didn't want to do it, I'll be honest. It's just like I said, come on.

I was happy to do it, if someone did it with me. I didn't want to walk around the hospital on my own. And I never would, I don't think there's any point that I would ever want to do that.

Because literally, it's just so vulnerable, you can't see, you got a torch. But we're talking about a big, empty hospital. So yeah, I didn't, I would, because the people I was working with refused to do it.

So I phoned up the office and said, yeah, I won't be doing it. I won't be, I'll be here, but I won't be patrolling because we're supposed to do it in pairs, and none of the people here are willing to do it. I said, so there, that's how it is.

And he said, well, fair enough, nothing we can do. If they're not, if they're unwilling to do the job, then I'll have a word with them tomorrow. I said, okay, but I'm willing to do it, but I'm not doing it on my own.

Because I'm a scaredy cat. He said, you are, aren't you? I said, yes, I am. At least I admit it.

Look at this, home and overseas property, all this luxury for just £3,450. Fully furnished studio apartments, beautiful private urbanization, private swimming pool and gardens, all amenities within walking distance, including golf course, five minutes from the centre of Torremolinos, 10 minutes from the airport, one minute from the sea, 30 seconds from a volcano, a five-year credit facility available, immediate occupation. Blimey.

And there's a picture of, I suppose, the outlay of this, you know, of this place. So what is this? This is accommodation, jobs available in Southern Ontario, Canada, screw machine setters, tool makers, centerless grinders, first-class machinists, turret lath. Blimey.

So you can't do that now, can't just, this is Canada. So you can't just go to another country like we used to be able to back then. Lowest fares to Australia.

Okay, let's have a look. Let's have a look. And New Zealand.

Oh, it doesn't say how much. By air, by sea, by jet ship. Oh, you'll have a full life in the RAF, 1974.

We'll train you in a trade, we'll introduce you to new sports, new interests, new places. We'll look after you well, and on top of that, we'll even pay you. Good money.

You need no formal qualifications. Find out a bit more, call Oring, or no, no, call Oring, into your local RAF careers information office. Blimey, I wonder how much they used to get? Yeah, I wonder.

Right, it's pretty much got to the end of this paper now, from October the 2nd, 1974. The moment of truth is about, oh, okay. This is say no to Labour's plans for record.

It's another advert. £3.99 for some shoes. Fashionable styles that won't pinch your feet or your pocket.

Super Vanguard. Okay. John Conte has kept his promise.

The fight of his life for the triumph of a lifetime. The world lightweight title at Wembley last night. Okay, so they were showing it on the TV, but it was the night before it was shown.

So it took him the full 15 rounds of one hell of a fight to master the immensely strong, impressive, brave Jorge Ujumanda of Argentina. But the contrasting picture at the end told a story of how total that mastery became. Blimey, so that was John.

John Conte was a definitely a bit of a a hero. Okay, so there's more. So it's taken up quite a bit of room.

That's good. Oh, that's also on the back pages. Wow, cool.

So that's that's done. That's the whole thing done now. All done.

So all read, read the whole paper. 1974 you know, I quite enjoyed that. It's there's a lot of similarities.

I know I probably read out a lot of adverts, but I was interested just in the price changes. And I don't know what kind of adverts were available back then. But yeah, it was it was quite nice.

I quite liked those retro newspapers. And I looked to see if there's any more I can get hold of that I can read. I was interested as well seeing what was on the telly back then as well.

And just the prices of things and what kind of sales techniques were being used in adverts. You know, like the trial of a coloured television, just have it for they didn't say how long for did it in the advert. But that that is the the puppy sales technique.

And it's basically it's based on the principle is if someone gives you a puppy for a week or two weeks to look after. And you know, with the thing where you can you can buy the you can buy the puppy if you want, but just have it for two weeks. You're not going to want to give the puppy back because you're falling in love with a puppy.

I'm not saying everyone would but you know, just humane people. So that is the puppy, the puppy dog technique of selling to give someone a TV and then take it back if they don't want it. It's fine.

No questions asked. It's and the longer someone has a TV, the longer they're gonna want to keep it, I guess. I had a similar thing with the Sky dishes, where in 1989 I used to, I used to need a drink of water.

I think I've been talking for a while. I don't know how long. Whenever I start talking, right, it's over an hour.

I Yeah, I did this canvassing job, knocking on people's doors, offering them sky for free for I think it was a month, maybe it was longer. So that sky would come in, put a dish up, they'd listen and have sky free, sky TV free for a month. And then if it didn't want it, take it away.

If they did want it, they just sign up for a contract. And the amount of people that just straight away now, you're right. No, thanks.

Because sky got such a bad reputation back then. It was the idea it wasn't necessarily sky. The issue was sky.

It was, I think, the general public and the newspapers were very kind of dismissive of in the sense of why on earth would anybody want to pay for more channels? Why would they want to watch that stuff when they've got? Blimey, at the time, we had four channels in this country. And it just got a bad press. But I wish I kind of stuck at it.

Because you know what, if I if I just thought of it a bit more like, with my brain back then, I'd have had a meeting and said, I want to take an area run. And took on the town that I used to live in. And that area, maybe that whole is much of the areas they'd let me have.

Because they were starting off in London working their way out. So I said, okay, if I'd have done that, I'm not sure. I mean, they might have already had that area sorted.

But in the instance that I hadn't, I already had canvases that could have done it. Because that's what I was doing that summer. Like literally the summer before that was what I'd been doing.

And we got they decided to start advertising instead for a while. So that's when I moved to London. But then it'd been a few months back.

And I could have got a little canvassing team together. And we could have just done that town, and then the next town, and then completely maybe made lots of money. And I'd have made hundreds of pounds.

Oh, well. Yeah. A bit late to have an idea like that now, isn't it really? Oh, if only I could get a time machine and go back to 1989.

Yeah. There's, there's probably more interesting things I could do with a time machine. 1988.

That'd be good. I don't know. That's the thing, isn't it? What would you do if you only have one trip? You go there, you come back.

But then if you're not allowed to do anything to change, you can't change anything, because then I just changed the future. Which would be part of the reason to do that. But it's a little bit like with the Endgame.

No, not the Endgame. No. Okay, I won't say the movie, but there was a Marvel's movie where he was trying to change the past.

And I was trying to change what happened, just happened, kept going back, kept going back, kept going back. And every version of the future, the same thing happens, just a little bit different. And he realized that he couldn't change that.

So it's, yeah, it's an interesting scene, actually. I won't tell you what movie it's in, because it might spoil the movie. It definitely wasn't the Endgame, because that was a, although that was a similar thing, they did go back in time.

Yeah, but that was a different kind of scenario. But yeah, so that's it. I'm going to go now.

Thank you for listening. Please remember Vinnie Minnelli, remember to be kind to yourself, because you do deserve to be happy. Lots of love.

Bye.
