7
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.359
work it out by doing something else on my birthdays

9
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:08.480

00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:24.719
happy birthday to me, hair be birthday to me? So yeah, yeah,

11
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:27.959
it's my birthday Tuesday. I'm just reminding everyone. I don't

12
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:33.760
know why, you know, I shouldn't really keep mentioning it

13
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:38.560
because I'm I'm scared of the flood of cards and gifts.

14
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:40.400
I'm going to get, oh.

15
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:44.079
Overwhelming all in cards. I won't be able to get

16
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:47.239
out of my front door. There'd be so many cards

17
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:52.079
the whole of the my whole street will be blocked

18
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:55.840
off with all those cards.

19
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:00.560
I think these days I get about three cards cards,

20
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:06.319
two cards max for my birthday these days, maybe three.

21
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:14.080
I always get one from my dad. Usually get one

22
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:25.479
from me brother and usually I mean yeah, sometimes I don't,

23
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:31.159
but generally I get one from him, and that's it. Yeah,

24
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:34.360
that's the only guarantees. Sometimes I get one from me

25
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.039
have a brother and we have a sister, but I

26
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.639
always get one from my dad. That's the only guaranteed

27
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.520
card I get for my birthday.

28
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:59.919
Mm hmmm, rare.

29
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:08.960
Yeah, what did I dream about last night? It's really weird?

30
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:14.080
Cool it last night because it was just now really,

31
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:19.080
because I've only just got out of bed. It's what's

32
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.560
the time, it's one minute past seven. I've been up

33
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:27.080
about eighteen minutes, i'd say the most, probably about fifteen

34
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:35.039
sixteen minutes, long enough to do a whiz and take

35
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.919
me tablet. And that was it. And then I got

36
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:44.360
up and read through an email I got from Cleo, Cleo,

37
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:56.719
Chloe Cleo. And here I am sitting on my sofa

38
00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:10.439
talking again out very little, very overcast today, very overcast.

39
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:18.800
It's weird. Yesterday was a weird one. The heating came on.

40
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:26.600
It was chilly in here inside, it was cold inside outside,

41
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:36.959
absolutely fine, weird. It shouldn't be colder inside. I know,

42
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:42.959
It's just it. Maybe it's because of the shelter. When

43
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.560
I was outside, there was some sun, although it was

44
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:47.759
mainly cloudy, so there wasn't really a lot of sun.

45
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:54.600
But here there's a massive tree that kind of blocks

46
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.759
most of the sun and the light from getting in.

47
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:05.040
So maybe that's what is. But and it feels quite.

48
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:19.199
It feels very cool in here now. Yeah, it's weird.

49
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:26.639
This is strange. Can be warmer outside than inside. But

50
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:30.480
there's no sound inside, is there? No?

51
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:30.759
But?

52
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:41.040
Oh, what did I dream about during the night? What?

53
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:47.160
What did I? What did I? What did I? I

54
00:05:47.199 --> 00:06:00.399
can't remember? Let me just think, Yeah, it's I can't

55
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.560
tell you all my dreams because some of them are

56
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:09.839
just too weird and occasionally erotic, and I'm not going

57
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:15.879
to talk about them. Okay, Well what happened was this?

58
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.720
I'll tell you then if you want. I met a

59
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:24.360
lady in my dreams. She let me hold her hand,

60
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.600
and yeah that was it, and I was done for

61
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:35.680
and it was I couldn't control myself and I had

62
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:39.000
to apologize. She said, why you apologize? And I said,

63
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:44.040
because I'm not going to be any use If you

64
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:47.040
want to take me home and make passionate love and

65
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:49.480
She said, why did you think I wanted to take

66
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:52.959
you home and make passionate love. I said, oh no,

67
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:57.319
I messed up another relationship and she said, this isn't

68
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:01.639
a relationship. I said, but you hold my hand. She said,

69
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.560
I'm a paramedic. I'm helping you up before you fell over.

70
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:15.079
Oh oh oh, where to go with that one? None

71
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:26.879
of that happened. No, what did I dream? Did I dream?

72
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:35.240
What did A dream? I didn't dream about those places

73
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:39.120
that I lived, because I've got this whole little dream

74
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:43.480
world where it's weird because I'm living in one place,

75
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.920
but I have my own place, which is a council place.

76
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:58.240
But I don't like that place because it's it's shared.

77
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:00.879
You can you know, there's so else is living in

78
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:06.079
the same place. But in reality, I actually had my

79
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:10.040
own flat, which is a proper council one. It was

80
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:15.040
just weird that the whole scenario that just replays itself.

81
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:24.639
Oh I know what I did. I went back working

82
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:28.759
in one of my jobs I used to have in

83
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:36.360
a factory, and I was back there. It does make

84
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:39.279
me think, though, because I was like in my early twenties,

85
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:46.639
so it's thirty years ago, and I think about people

86
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:52.080
that I used to work with, and I'm pretty sure

87
00:08:54.559 --> 00:09:05.600
Terry was in forties, so it will be like an

88
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:15.000
old man now, and people that were in their fifties,

89
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:26.039
which was a few, they might alfur. For example, he

90
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:36.360
might not be around anymore. I'll tell you one of

91
00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:39.399
the funniest I've talked about this before, but one of

92
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:49.159
the funniest men I ever met was in this factory

93
00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:53.440
and he was a temp, just a temporary, and he did.

94
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:59.759
He came in and we worked together and it was funny.

95
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:05.399
It's really chilled out. And he was in his fifties,

96
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:13.519
probably fifty five man, and by age BlimE me, yeah, wow,

97
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.639
I'm talking about him. Being fifty five is like really old.

98
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:19.519
And I just realized that's what I'm going to be

99
00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:23.320
in a few days, like really old. And I don't

100
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:35.559
think I no, no, fifty five is not old. I've

101
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:41.759
just realized. Anyway, this bloke, he's a big, big bloke,

102
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.159
like big strong man. He looked a little bit like

103
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:50.799
he clearly had a bit of a past the way

104
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:53.080
he talked and the way he moved, and there was

105
00:10:53.120 --> 00:11:00.159
a certain confidence there and he was so funny. And

106
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:05.960
he knew Arthur, so uncle Arthur was the he was.

107
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:17.159
They had to explain Uncle Arthur without making him sound

108
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:23.440
like a complete knob. I don't know, because I got

109
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:25.799
on well with him, but I didn't even I didn't

110
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:28.000
as well. I got really badly with him, but I

111
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:32.919
would also sometimes we would see each other out and

112
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:35.399
we'd have a drink together, and we got on perfectly,

113
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:43.519
but in work we didn't for some weird reason. So

114
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:47.039
we'd en up shout at each other. And he became

115
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:49.919
a supervisor and I used to make just laugh at him,

116
00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:57.360
and because we were the same level. In nineteen eighty nine,

117
00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:03.120
because I moved to London for and I was I

118
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.960
there October November December January February March, so I was

119
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:12.919
there for six months from eighty nine to ninety six

120
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:17.759
months where I was just living in a room in London.

121
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.279
That was kind of still my favorite period of being

122
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.159
in London, though because it was all new. I didn't

123
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:32.840
know anybody didn't. Everything was kind of fresh. Even the

124
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:38.000
air felt fresh, which it wasn't because I was in London.

125
00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:43.399
The year has never been fresh in London. I think

126
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:47.639
you'd have to go quite high up. Yeah, you have

127
00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:53.519
to fly into the sky fly into the sky, you

128
00:12:53.799 --> 00:13:09.440
know how it feels. Yeah, that was quite a nice period.

129
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:14.600
It was a bit a bit boring, I'll be honest.

130
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.279
It was a bit boring. So I didn't have hardly

131
00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:23.480
any money, so I couldn't really enjoy the experience of

132
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:32.120
being in London. I mean, there are stuff, there are

133
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:34.759
things you can do in London that well they used

134
00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:36.879
to be free. I don't know if they are now,

135
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:43.759
but you know, things like the museums and stuff standing

136
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:51.080
outside the houses of I was at the Palace going

137
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:55.320
to some Sometimes there's concerts and stuff in Hyde Park

138
00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:58.960
and also go into the park. You know, there's lots

139
00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:01.360
of places. There are places you can go which doesn't

140
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:04.559
cost you money other than the travel to get there

141
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:12.240
and back. Then traveling on the tube was really really cheap.

142
00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:22.480
The rent was really really cheap. It you know, it

143
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:27.440
wasn't really because I lived in a little town before

144
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:37.759
that and the rent was about thirty pounds a week.

145
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:43.720
I went there and it was about about forty pounds

146
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.679
a week, thirty five pounds a week. There wasn't a

147
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:50.120
lot of difference. It was very kind of similar, kind

148
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:53.360
of maybe a little bit more, but not a lot more.

149
00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:01.399
I'm pretty sure I'd didn't pay forty pounds a week,

150
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:06.720
probably at thirty pound thirty five pound, so it's relatively similar.

151
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:15.279
But now it's night and day. It's a completely it's

152
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:21.120
not it's daytime now. But let's not be literal. It's

153
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:29.440
absolutely like it's yeah, I couldn't. I couldn't live in

154
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:32.279
London now. I wouldn't be able to afford to even

155
00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:40.559
rent a room, even if I was working. It'd be yeah,

156
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:45.440
it's just wouldn't. I wouldn't be able to do it,

157
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:49.639
sort of moving from here to there, which is ironic

158
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:55.559
because I'm in Essex and moving to Essex was a

159
00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:58.679
step up for people living in London. It used to

160
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:05.440
be it often was the goal to move out of

161
00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:10.320
London and to move to South End or to Romford

162
00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:17.000
or to Hainal, or to Colchester or to Chelmsford or

163
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:21.000
to I don't know, there's so many different Essex is

164
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:25.320
one of the biggest counties in the country, so it's

165
00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:32.840
a huge area in you know, in comparison to the UK,

166
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:36.960
to it to England. I say huge area. I mean,

167
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:42.320
I'm sure people in America travel. It's that's that's some

168
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:44.799
people travel. Maybe that far just to get to the shops,

169
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:49.639
going all the way, you know, it's it's amazing that

170
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:51.960
some people will travel like two hours to get to

171
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.919
work and that's just standard two hours to get it

172
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:01.080
to the other side of the country. Here, tiny little place.

173
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:10.680
I'm surprised we were ever discovered. Honestly, it's like it

174
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:15.319
must have been people living here. I reckon this country,

175
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:22.599
this this plot of land should record. It was left

176
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:31.640
undisturbed for a long long time because it's so out

177
00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:40.519
of the way. Did you know that I think it's

178
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:44.160
Isle of Man they used to put prison German prisoners

179
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:47.759
of wars, like during the Second World War they used

180
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:50.640
to put prisoners of war on the Isle of Man.

181
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:54.519
Was the island Isle of Wight and one of those.

182
00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:03.200
So wow, I don't know why, I just something. I

183
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:05.119
saw the documentary the other day and I thought it

184
00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:10.400
was interesting, and I thought I mentioned that when the

185
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:15.640
when the right conversation or the right topic arises. I

186
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:18.319
just checked that in as a fact and that will

187
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:24.359
help me contribute towards the conversation. And I don't know,

188
00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:29.319
I just feel more more a part of society, like

189
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:35.920
I contributed something to the ongoing dialogue. About World War Two.

190
00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:43.599
But havingt said it, I just realized that it was

191
00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:45.359
kind of a bit out of place, really, wasn't. It

192
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:47.839
didn't really fit in with what I was already talking about.

193
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:54.240
But then I think, in what was I talking about?

194
00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:57.680
And then I remember I was talking about the bloke

195
00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:03.599
I met, what was his name, Ray? His name was

196
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:08.599
Ray Weird. I probably can remember him because of the

197
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:11.960
name of Ray Winston, and he reminds me. He was

198
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:17.480
kind of like Ray Winston's size build, a very stocky,

199
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:22.000
strong body. You know. It even looked a bit like

200
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:28.880
Ray Winston. But this is before Ray Winston was not

201
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:31.079
before he was a star, because he was a star

202
00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:36.680
from the seventies. He was in a movie called Borstal,

203
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:42.079
but he wasn't like a big star the way he

204
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:48.039
is Ray Winston. I tell you, one of my favorite

205
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:56.920
movie stars English Ones was Bob Hoskins, and I can't

206
00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:04.240
believe that he just when he left the planet, it

207
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:08.799
wasn't an astronaut. When he left the planet. It was

208
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:14.119
almost like, oh, okay, nothing, And I don't know, it's

209
00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:21.559
just to me, there was something so lovely about him

210
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:26.000
on screen. I know, you played a gangster and not

211
00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:33.079
all his roles were nice and cuddly, but it was

212
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:36.400
something like he was like a tough guy but at

213
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:50.480
the same time gentle and loving and passionate. And it's

214
00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:53.079
almost like you know, you knew that if he was

215
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:59.400
looking after you, he keeps you safe, but it also

216
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:05.480
keep you nice and comfortable as well. What I'm talking about,

217
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:11.680
I don't know. I got no idea. I don't know.

218
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:16.559
It just seemed like you protect you Bob. I thought

219
00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:22.960
Bob was lovely and Bob Hoskins right back to Ray.

220
00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:29.240
So Ray, I tell this room I had at the time.

221
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:34.279
Oh no, what am I talking? I'm now just remembering

222
00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:43.519
the room I lived in back in nineteen eighty nine,

223
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:47.720
because Ray was a few years later than that. But

224
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:57.599
this room I lived in, and there was oh, they

225
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:10.759
must have moved out, because yeah, so downstairs was two

226
00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:21.039
girls or two females were down there and they were, yeah,

227
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:28.880
they're both seemed to be really close friends, and they

228
00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:34.400
were at University of East London, I think. And then

229
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:41.720
upstairs there was me. There must have been three rooms upstairs,

230
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:46.079
because there wouldn't just be two rooms with that. Possibly,

231
00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:51.279
I don't know. Seems a bit strange though surely there'd

232
00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:55.480
been more than four rooms to rent in a house.

233
00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:02.000
Maybe not, but there was my room. So if you

234
00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:04.920
go to the top of the stairs or whatever, I

235
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:19.839
was up there somewhere, turn right, turn left, and then

236
00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:27.079
I was able to sit on the window sill. Yeah,

237
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:30.839
it was. There was enough room to sit out on

238
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:39.880
the window sill. And you know, not in the winter,

239
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:44.680
but in the springtime as it's sort of you know,

240
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:51.359
between the because you know, I was listening to radio

241
00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:58.400
last night and someone was moaning saying, all, it's now

242
00:23:58.480 --> 00:24:02.599
going into autumn and it will be winter before we

243
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:08.119
know it, and me mean, yeah, but it will be

244
00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:11.599
winter before we know it, but also be spring before

245
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:15.160
we know it, and also be summer again before we

246
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:25.839
know it. So, you know, time time is doesn't feel

247
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:35.839
like time is going fast in the moment necessarily. I mean,

248
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.440
I think some people find time goes very slowly when

249
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:50.720
I'm talking to them. Yeah, I watched sometimes I talk

250
00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:55.319
I've got this my friend's husband, and I'll talk and

251
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:59.079
easy yawning and his eyes are closing, and I'm sure

252
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:02.960
that half an hour hour seemed like probably four or

253
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:08.680
five hours for him. Hm hmm. It's I've been doing

254
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:14.359
that to people for years, talking and watching them trying

255
00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:21.200
to hold in a yawn. I don't think it's always

256
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:27.000
it's not always the my the subject matter, but it

257
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:33.240
might be. But I'm not sure. But I'm thinking that

258
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:41.279
I don't necessarily always have the most interesting voice, possibly

259
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:44.759
the most exciting, not interesting, that wouldn't be word, because

260
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:50.440
I think I'm I'm relatively now I'm quite exciting. I

261
00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:59.440
excite myself. Oh, I don't know what that means. Do

262
00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:04.759
you mean you excite yourself? I don't know. You're gonna

263
00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:07.480
tell us about Ray. You started telling us about Ray

264
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:12.599
and then you just stopped. Okay, Ray. So we were

265
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:19.000
just we worked together a couple of days. It might

266
00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:23.400
have just been one day to be fair, like a Friday,

267
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:26.240
and we got on really well. And he said, oh, George,

268
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:31.559
you're gonna come to the pub. And normally I'd say no,

269
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:36.599
because we normally I just didn't really have any money

270
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:40.119
to go out. But for some reason I thought, yeah,

271
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:42.160
So we went to the pub. We went to this

272
00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:49.400
Irish pub which was it was around the corner from

273
00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:57.799
where I lived. Now, yeah, I'm just trying to think,

274
00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:04.720
all right, Yeah, I'm trying to place where we worked,

275
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:11.559
so I. So we went into this pub and we're

276
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:14.359
just sitting there, remember which we were sitting one side

277
00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:17.319
of it, of the bar, because the bar went all

278
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:20.559
the way around, so it was quite quite a big bar.

279
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:25.279
And we were just chatting and he was telling me

280
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:34.880
stories about Arthur. He he knew Arthur, who was the

281
00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:42.079
supervisor and my arch enemy at work. Ray I think

282
00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:45.880
had gone to school with Arthur, so we'd known him forever.

283
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:50.559
And he just went on and just told me about Arthur,

284
00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:54.039
told me all lots of things about him that he

285
00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:58.720
got up to over the last forty odd years. And

286
00:27:58.759 --> 00:28:03.240
I was, honestly, I was laughing my head off, and

287
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:05.720
then he was telling me stuff. It wasn't all based

288
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:08.839
aimed at Arthur. There's a few little bits and bobs,

289
00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:13.039
but and I contributed and told him some stuff that

290
00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:21.559
had happened some of the stories. I've talked about this story,

291
00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:26.720
and anyone that's listened to me for a long time

292
00:28:28.759 --> 00:28:33.160
may remember it. It's about a bloke going into a

293
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:42.599
pub and he's basically really kicking off and yeah, so

294
00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:47.880
the story, if you remember the story, it's like I

295
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:58.720
told that story probably six years ago. It was really

296
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:05.480
it was very funny, and there's also a sadness as well,

297
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:12.359
but like a sadness and a positivity there because he

298
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:18.079
was going blind. His eyesight was really really bad and

299
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:25.599
he was, you know, he was heading towards blindness, and

300
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:29.160
he had his daughter looking after him, helping him out

301
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:30.160
and stuff, and.

302
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:34.039
He just.

303
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:41.039
It was weird. There was a rule. It was positive

304
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:45.960
and even he was just as funny whether he was

305
00:29:46.039 --> 00:29:49.920
drinking or not drinking. And he wasn't no aggression nothing,

306
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:52.279
it was no, it didn't change him. It was just

307
00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:57.680
it just he just enjoyed having a pint. So we

308
00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:01.599
had like fully four pints. I was probably drunk, to

309
00:30:01.640 --> 00:30:08.240
be honest, but at that but the next day we

310
00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:11.880
went into work because we had a Saturdays. We didn't

311
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:19.839
not always work Saturday, but that day we did, and

312
00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:24.200
Arthur was there and we were just starting to work

313
00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:28.279
and we see Alfur walking and we can't stop laughing.

314
00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:37.720
And Arthur's walking up to us and he's he's like,

315
00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:40.039
he's like, what you're doing laughing? To get on with

316
00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:43.519
some work? Do some work, and Ray just tells him

317
00:30:43.519 --> 00:30:49.680
to shut up, and Halfur walks away. He does he

318
00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:54.960
doesn't know what to say because he's he he knows Ray,

319
00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:59.480
I mean he's Ray. Half is the reason of Ray

320
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:04.680
was work work in there because Ray, you know, after

321
00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:08.640
I think Ray was, I keep saying Ray and arfur

322
00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:13.880
So I think he probably met Arthur in the pub

323
00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:17.319
and Arthur said, well, try and get in our place,

324
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:21.319
into the factory, and I'll get you some work and

325
00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:25.279
i'll keep you on and stuff. So Ray said, okay,

326
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:31.359
So you know they were still friends. It's just that

327
00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:37.160
he wouldn't take any rubbish from him. And then he left.

328
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:39.920
He was there, he didn't like the job, so he

329
00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:50.920
didn't come back. He was so funny. I met some

330
00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:55.079
characters doing that job. I met a lot of people

331
00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:59.119
from a lot of different countries and doing some of

332
00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:02.440
the jobs I had. I mean in London, you know,

333
00:32:03.079 --> 00:32:08.519
when I was a security guard, the other security guards

334
00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:17.400
were African, most of them. And when I worked in

335
00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:25.720
the Yeah, when I worked in the big bakery, most

336
00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:28.119
of the people I worked with, when I worked inside

337
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:31.839
the bakery itself rather than in the canteen, most of

338
00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:40.960
the people I worked with were from other countries. Probably

339
00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:48.160
think India and Jamaica. I think that was the two

340
00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:53.160
main places. Now A lot of them already knew me

341
00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:58.960
because I was serving and food before serving of food.

342
00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:01.599
That sounds weird, but I was working in the canteen

343
00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:08.319
for a good few months so they, you know, most

344
00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:10.519
of the people working out already knew who I was,

345
00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:15.160
so I got on quite well with the people. But

346
00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:21.839
it was very weird because the thing is from a

347
00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:29.240
safety perspective in a place like that, where if something

348
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:35.680
goes wrong, it could really go wrong. All these I mean, dad,

349
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:40.079
the mixes, the bread mixers were the size of this building.

350
00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:44.720
I'm exaggerating for the sake of it, but you know, huge, massive,

351
00:33:48.160 --> 00:34:03.920
And the miscommunication was kind of ridiculous because it's so

352
00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:07.680
loud to start with, so it was hard. But then

353
00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:12.519
people were shouting in different languages. So there's one point

354
00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:17.320
where I heard shouting and in the end someone pulled

355
00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:20.639
me physically out of the way of something that was

356
00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:29.760
heading towards me. And because all I was hearing was like,

357
00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:33.159
it's something that I didn't understand what I was hearing,

358
00:34:33.199 --> 00:34:38.480
so I didn't figure it was for me, but I

359
00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:42.280
was on the floor, I think I was. There was

360
00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:47.519
two English speaking people, not English speaking, they all spoke English,

361
00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:52.159
but English person there whose first language was English. There's

362
00:34:52.280 --> 00:35:03.440
two of us, and it is from a communication point

363
00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:08.119
of view, because when it's quiet, I can communicate with

364
00:35:08.360 --> 00:35:19.440
anyone pretty much. And also even if someone's English isn't

365
00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:22.920
maybe it's it's not, you know, I can still communicate.

366
00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:27.000
I can communicate with people. When I've been abroad, I

367
00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:31.000
always managed to communicate with people because you know, it

368
00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:34.280
takes I take my time, and I'm in no hurry,

369
00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:39.000
and you know, i'd find a way. But when there's

370
00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:47.360
a lot of noise, it's practically impossible. I suppose you

371
00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:50.480
can use sign language or you know, sort of signs,

372
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:55.679
not sign language, but signs to sort of to tell

373
00:35:55.760 --> 00:36:00.960
people stuff. But I don't know if they had that.

374
00:36:03.960 --> 00:36:08.199
All I know is I remember coming back because I

375
00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:11.480
used they had a like a bus, like a private

376
00:36:11.719 --> 00:36:15.719
bus coach thing that would bring go from warden Stowe

377
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:20.000
to Stratford and then to other places. So i'd get

378
00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:26.800
I'd grab on that because it was free and and

379
00:36:26.840 --> 00:36:30.920
this was just for us, you know, the workers. Now,

380
00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:35.920
I've done a twenty four hour shift, so I was tired.

381
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:43.599
Tired is not the word. And I did these I

382
00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:48.000
did one week where I did one hundred hours, so

383
00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:51.679
I don't know how many how many hours that is

384
00:36:51.719 --> 00:37:00.599
in a in a day, seven seventy ten hours a

385
00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:14.960
day for seven days is seventy another thirty, so one

386
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:20.880
hundred hours five days, twenty hours, So I must have

387
00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:25.880
been doing sixteen hours or something a day. Two shifts,

388
00:37:27.519 --> 00:37:30.119
and I did once do a twenty four hour shift,

389
00:37:31.400 --> 00:37:35.320
which is just ridiculous. But I did that with a

390
00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:39.519
security as well, because I shifts for twelve hours. I

391
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:48.360
did a twenty four hours, fell asleep, got suspended. Yeah,

392
00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:57.760
it's to do sixteen hours in a bakery. Shouldn't really

393
00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:04.760
be allowed just from a health and safety perspective. But

394
00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:08.400
I remember I got my biggest paycheck I'd ever had

395
00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:13.960
up to that point, and it was cash, had my

396
00:38:14.079 --> 00:38:17.239
tax taken off already as well, had a little brown

397
00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:20.440
envelope as we used to get back in the nineties

398
00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:28.960
or early nineties, late eighties. And I went up to

399
00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:34.840
the manager's office to collect my paycheck or my paid cash,

400
00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:38.960
and I was saying all, and I was smiling. I said, why,

401
00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:42.440
because apparently I'd earn the most out of anyone else

402
00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:46.800
in the in the factory, because of all the hours

403
00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:51.199
I've done. And I opened up and I looked at

404
00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:57.880
this amount of money, and I'd never seen so much cash,

405
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:02.280
like for one week's work. Never you know, I was

406
00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:10.199
used to one hundred pounds a week if I was lucky,

407
00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:15.960
so to get two hundred and fifty after tax. In fact,

408
00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:20.079
I don't think i'd hardly earn. I was getting more

409
00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:23.000
than one hundred pounds in the bakery. I was probably

410
00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:26.320
getting about one hundred and thirty one hundred and forty

411
00:39:26.320 --> 00:39:36.119
pounds a week. I was paying tax on that, which

412
00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:40.719
seems I don't know, should we get paying tax on

413
00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:49.440
such a small amount, But yeah, that was back then. Yeah.

414
00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:59.159
I remember I was traveling on the bus and it

415
00:39:59.199 --> 00:40:04.639
was real, just surreal because or this coach thing, because

416
00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:11.280
all these voices and I didn't understand a word that

417
00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:18.840
anyone was saying, and I fell asleep and it was

418
00:40:18.920 --> 00:40:23.159
just so weird, just a weird feeling like I don't

419
00:40:25.079 --> 00:40:27.519
it's like I don't know where I am. I didn't

420
00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:31.400
know where I was, very strange.

421
00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:45.920
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh ooh bah.

422
00:40:55.280 --> 00:40:58.400
The thing is, I think a lot of the the

423
00:40:58.440 --> 00:41:01.719
people that worked there, there was a lot of older

424
00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:05.599
men working there. There was I think there's one woman

425
00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:12.280
in the whole factory, like in the actual the bakery itself,

426
00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:18.440
it was all men. And then there was yeah, there's

427
00:41:18.480 --> 00:41:24.679
women working in the administration area, so the p and

428
00:41:24.800 --> 00:41:31.519
the catering part, Yeah no, And the women could have

429
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:34.159
done a job just as well as a man. It

430
00:41:34.199 --> 00:41:39.199
wasn't really it was it was endurance rather than physical

431
00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:45.199
strength in a sense of I mean, back then, I

432
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:47.719
think the average woman would have been stronger than me anyway,

433
00:41:48.880 --> 00:41:58.079
but it wasn't. What was really weird is they'd never

434
00:41:58.280 --> 00:42:05.480
turned anything off. They hated to turn the the conveyor

435
00:42:05.519 --> 00:42:13.599
belt off if they didn't have to, which meant when

436
00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:16.880
stuff was coming off the other end of the conveyor

437
00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:22.480
belt and needed to be put into trays, there was

438
00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:27.639
very little wiggle room. And you might be thinking, what

439
00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:31.559
you're wiggling about, for what's wiggling got to do with anything?

440
00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:37.960
What I mean by that is if you miss, if

441
00:42:38.039 --> 00:42:43.760
you you know, you can't get it back. Once one

442
00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:49.400
falls off the end onto the floor, another one falls

443
00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:53.639
onto the floor and you can't And because it's fallen

444
00:42:53.679 --> 00:42:56.920
onto the floor, you can't get to the position that

445
00:42:57.039 --> 00:43:01.119
you need to get the next one off. And I've

446
00:43:01.360 --> 00:43:08.800
literally stood there up to my knees in bread rolls,

447
00:43:09.880 --> 00:43:13.440
because tray after tray is just banging onto the floor

448
00:43:17.960 --> 00:43:27.599
until someone stops to convey about. And I don't know why.

449
00:43:27.280 --> 00:43:29.719
It's not like I'd wanted to stop it for a

450
00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:34.760
long time. Just a few seconds. Let me get up

451
00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:43.000
to you up to date. Sometimes the the brown trays

452
00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:48.679
or baskets that the bread rolls we put into, they

453
00:43:48.679 --> 00:43:53.440
weren't replaced. So I needed them. I needed to put

454
00:43:53.440 --> 00:43:57.920
the bread somewhere, and so I'd look around and be

455
00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:03.840
none left, or someone just taking one's eyes and there's

456
00:44:03.880 --> 00:44:07.760
literally nowhere to put anything, and it just end up

457
00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:12.519
on the floor. And I thought that was just such

458
00:44:12.519 --> 00:44:27.360
a waste of food, such a waste. Yeah, I kind

459
00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:31.079
of wish I'd stuck with that. There's a few there's

460
00:44:31.079 --> 00:44:35.760
so many things that I would have changed over the

461
00:44:35.920 --> 00:44:45.280
years if I went back. But then one little change

462
00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:51.920
could have just transformed my whole life, couldn't it. One

463
00:44:51.960 --> 00:44:57.920
little decision, one little tweak or twerk there or hear,

464
00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:05.400
and my whole world would potentially have been different. So,

465
00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:12.360
I mean, if I had stayed there, who knows, I

466
00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:16.400
might have ended up. I don't know why, but I

467
00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:24.880
might have ended up getting married, having kids, getting a mortgage,

468
00:45:25.199 --> 00:45:33.400
you know, having like a normal life, just because I

469
00:45:33.480 --> 00:45:41.320
suppose something technically financially I was doing all right. I

470
00:45:41.440 --> 00:45:43.719
possibly would would have been able to afford to get

471
00:45:43.719 --> 00:45:46.679
a mortgage on the money I was getting because I

472
00:45:46.719 --> 00:45:54.800
was working so many hours. It's weird, though, isn't it,

473
00:45:54.840 --> 00:45:57.880
Because you think two hundred and fifty pounds a week,

474
00:45:59.679 --> 00:46:05.639
that's a thousand pounds a month, which is what twelve

475
00:46:05.679 --> 00:46:11.440
thousand pounds a year take that was take home. It's

476
00:46:11.480 --> 00:46:19.320
such a small amount, but back then, back then, nineteen

477
00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:27.039
ninety one, it wasn't a small amount. It was like

478
00:46:27.280 --> 00:46:45.239
really good money. Kind of it was okay money, and

479
00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:49.920
I couldn't really do anything else but work because I

480
00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:55.480
was just so naked doing the job, and so i'd be,

481
00:46:56.199 --> 00:46:59.639
you know, partner obviously part of my days off if

482
00:46:59.639 --> 00:47:03.039
I did get days off, but that was always a

483
00:47:03.119 --> 00:47:05.840
choice anyway. I didn't have to I didn't have to

484
00:47:05.880 --> 00:47:12.760
do the overtime. It was it was an opportunity to

485
00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:18.599
have some money. So that was just useful to get paid,

486
00:47:19.320 --> 00:47:25.400
useful having some cash. My rent was forty pounds a

487
00:47:25.440 --> 00:47:35.000
week at that time, so to begin over two hundred

488
00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:52.599
pounds a week. It was definitely pretty groovy. Oh moovy.

489
00:47:54.599 --> 00:48:14.239
I was thinking of what was it Saturday today? Hm hmm, Yeah, Saturday.

490
00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:20.960
I partly would kind of like to go out, but

491
00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:27.840
I haven't really been out since since I had to

492
00:48:27.880 --> 00:48:31.519
go out for uncle sausages, although I did go out Monday.

493
00:48:32.280 --> 00:48:38.000
I got taxi to the doctor's surgery and had my.

494
00:48:40.880 --> 00:48:41.280
Year the.

495
00:48:43.679 --> 00:48:45.920
Mental health review check thing.

496
00:48:47.719 --> 00:48:47.760
S.

497
00:48:47.800 --> 00:48:51.400
Had a blood test and blood pressure dad and got

498
00:48:51.519 --> 00:48:59.760
weighed and checked my pulse. Everything was fine if I

499
00:48:59.760 --> 00:49:04.480
had about the blood test, but everything was fine as

500
00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:12.960
far as my blood pressure was really good. My pulse rate.

501
00:49:14.519 --> 00:49:17.639
Blood pressure is a pulsory, isn't it. No, blood pressure

502
00:49:17.679 --> 00:49:23.119
is really good, pulse rates fine. My weight's good. So

503
00:49:23.159 --> 00:49:27.719
I've lost some weight a little bit, just a little bit.

504
00:49:29.119 --> 00:49:34.360
I've kept it off anyway, so the way I got

505
00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:40.840
rid of the fact I reduced has stayed off. So

506
00:49:41.239 --> 00:49:45.480
I'm just under fifteen stone now and it's a much

507
00:49:45.559 --> 00:49:49.480
more manageable weight. I just feel I'm so light, though

508
00:49:49.519 --> 00:49:55.119
I'm scared or blow away just but it's all right.

509
00:49:55.159 --> 00:50:15.119
I just feel lighter, which I'm kind of surprised about. Yeah,

510
00:50:15.639 --> 00:50:17.519
baby day, I don't know what I was talking about, then,

511
00:50:21.119 --> 00:50:23.559
I'll be honest with you, I'd got no idea what

512
00:50:23.639 --> 00:50:35.840
I was just waffling on about. H Really, I got

513
00:50:35.840 --> 00:50:43.840
my deliveries yesterday. It was so nice. It's weird because

514
00:50:43.880 --> 00:50:53.360
the Amazon bloke delivered it in his huge sack with wheels,

515
00:50:53.519 --> 00:50:57.800
like big box thing with wheels, and I don't think

516
00:50:57.800 --> 00:51:02.199
I've ever seen that before. So I'm wondering what the

517
00:51:02.239 --> 00:51:07.639
noise is because I'm hearing this like banging up the stairs,

518
00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:12.440
like uh, Vinnie was barking. I'm just telling Vinnie to

519
00:51:12.519 --> 00:51:16.360
stop barking, not realizing that he's actually barking for a reason.

520
00:51:17.320 --> 00:51:20.719
And he's being a good good boy, isn't he for

521
00:51:20.800 --> 00:51:25.079
letting me know that someone's coming to my door? Anyway,

522
00:51:25.239 --> 00:51:27.159
the bloke knocked on my door and open it and

523
00:51:27.159 --> 00:51:37.119
he's got this big thing on the floor and he's

524
00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:39.920
just stroking his thing, this big thing, and I was like,

525
00:51:42.039 --> 00:51:44.800
so I know. He said, yeah, he got some packages there,

526
00:51:47.159 --> 00:51:52.360
and I think there was one, two, three, four different packages.

527
00:51:53.519 --> 00:52:00.559
So I had my soap, I had my wet wipes,

528
00:52:02.320 --> 00:52:21.599
I had my face wipes, I had deodorant, and oh yeah,

529
00:52:21.880 --> 00:52:30.079
I also had uh two packs of dog food as well,

530
00:52:32.079 --> 00:52:38.039
so that's six different things. So the deodorant I got,

531
00:52:42.079 --> 00:52:44.360
I got enough to last me for the year to

532
00:52:44.519 --> 00:52:48.960
rest of the year. I got enough soap to last

533
00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:58.000
me for the rest of the year. I'm trying to

534
00:52:58.039 --> 00:53:02.280
think what else. Tea packs? Oh yeah, so seven, I've

535
00:53:02.320 --> 00:53:09.079
got tea bags. I've got wow, huge amounts of tea bags,

536
00:53:09.079 --> 00:53:13.320
so that that would be I got, yeah, easily enough

537
00:53:13.360 --> 00:53:15.320
tea bags for last weear to the end of the year.

538
00:53:19.840 --> 00:53:24.280
So it's like a couple of thousand tea bags, I think. No,

539
00:53:25.559 --> 00:53:29.920
not a couple of thousand. No, I'm exaggerating. There eight

540
00:53:30.239 --> 00:53:34.840
eight eight eight eight, there's about eight hundred tea bags.

541
00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:41.280
There was two packs of two backs either two packs

542
00:53:41.320 --> 00:53:45.159
of five. Yeah, I'm like you a little the little

543
00:53:45.199 --> 00:53:48.880
box things. So there's I think there's five boxes in

544
00:53:48.960 --> 00:53:53.239
each or maybe six box in boxes in each five

545
00:53:53.320 --> 00:53:58.880
I think maybe six. There's eighty per box. So yeah,

546
00:53:59.039 --> 00:54:06.239
there's at least eight hundred tea bags to get me

547
00:54:06.360 --> 00:54:12.960
through to the end of the year. So see how

548
00:54:12.960 --> 00:54:25.360
many you need? One, two, three, four. I have at

549
00:54:25.440 --> 00:54:44.000
least four cups of tea per day, so I'm trying

550
00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:50.039
to work out how many that is so four okay

551
00:54:50.199 --> 00:54:59.599
if I had if I had eight cups of tea

552
00:54:59.599 --> 00:55:13.320
a day, that would give me one hundred days. Since

553
00:55:13.320 --> 00:55:31.320
I've had half of that. Yeah, so two hundred days

554
00:55:31.360 --> 00:55:36.199
of tea bags and mid days left in this year.

555
00:55:38.039 --> 00:55:44.920
So we're nearly at the end of August, September, October, November,

556
00:55:45.440 --> 00:55:57.360
December three six three? What three? It's more than three

557
00:55:57.440 --> 00:56:03.000
weeks in my thirty I'm thinking, And so thirty sorry,

558
00:56:03.800 --> 00:56:29.679
thirty days sit in October, November, December thirty times by eight. Okay, sir,

559
00:56:29.800 --> 00:56:33.599
I'll work out another way as I'm fallen asleep talking

560
00:56:33.639 --> 00:56:39.000
about it. Mathematics is a way for me to fall asleep, yes,

561
00:56:43.800 --> 00:56:49.400
or two hundred days thirty sixty ninety, one hundred and

562
00:56:49.440 --> 00:56:58.639
twenty September October one hundred and twenty. How many did

563
00:56:58.639 --> 00:57:08.119
I say? I've got eight hundred three six? Oh No,

564
00:57:08.360 --> 00:57:13.079
that's that's for one a day, though, isn't it three

565
00:57:13.719 --> 00:57:17.960
thirty sixteen ninety one hundred and twenty days? But one

566
00:57:18.000 --> 00:57:22.880
a day? But what about four a day? Four day?

567
00:57:24.239 --> 00:57:31.079
Is for I reckon? Eight hundred will last me until

568
00:57:31.119 --> 00:57:34.039
the end of the year. In fact, I would I

569
00:57:34.360 --> 00:57:38.119
reckon as we get to the end of the year,

570
00:57:39.519 --> 00:57:46.840
like you know, moving towards happy New Year, boom, all

571
00:57:46.880 --> 00:57:55.599
that stuff. I will find that letter. I don't know

572
00:57:55.639 --> 00:58:07.960
why whatever I say, Emma, Wow, I'm drifting off back

573
00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:11.880
to sleep again as I'm talking. So I better just

574
00:58:12.000 --> 00:58:18.199
go and get some breakfast. I do bore myself to sleep. Genuinely,

575
00:58:25.559 --> 00:58:32.119
It's weird, isn't it. It's very very strange. So yeah,

576
00:58:32.239 --> 00:58:36.880
today's Saturday. I'm gonna have me breakfast. Now, I'm gonna

577
00:58:36.920 --> 00:58:42.719
watch a bit of Telly. I'm then gonna take Vinnie

578
00:58:42.800 --> 00:58:49.880
out for a walk and m I need to edit

579
00:58:49.880 --> 00:58:53.079
this and upload this, but outside of that, I don't

580
00:58:53.199 --> 00:59:05.519
have much in the way it plans. Really, Yeah, so

581
00:59:05.559 --> 00:59:12.760
