The big question is, are we online? Let’s have a look shall we… let’s have a look. I think we might be live. Okay. We might actually be live on YouTube. Are you excited? Can’t quite make up my mind. As you can see, the weather is it’s not great today.
We will be honest with you. The weather is not great. However, we are trying our best to stay healthy and smiling on all of these faces. It’s now just after. Let’s have a look. I’m just making sure be the problem here. This is nothing, actually.
We just have a this is the problem we see with this. So life using technology that’s interesting doesn’t seem to be working. Let’s make sure. Hi. Let’s just see if my hand appears. My hand appears in the next few seconds, whenever. Okay. Come on. Hand, you. Thank goodness for those.
My lovely hand. Can you hear? Is that for your own? So can you please say that you can hear is first of all. And then we will begin today’s cavalcade. Cavalcade? Do people still say Cavalcade? Steve? I don’t know. Show. Yes. A big a big performance with lots of wonderful things happening. Yes.
Here. This is what we want to know. Then we can start. It looks like it. yes, Mr. Steve is here as well. But where are we? Guess what? Any here is. We are right here, right now, in the countryside on what can only be described as a rather dull and dismal day.
In fact, about 10 minutes ago, it was actually raining. It was pouring down with rain. We will have to wait and see what happens. I think the signal is actually quite poor from the phone, you know, and I don’t know why, because we are getting a very 5G signal.
So it might just I hope in a few moments we will see what happens, what’s going on. Anyway, Mr. Juncker? Hi, everybody. This is Mr. Duncan and there he is. Look, Mr. Steve as well in England. How are you today? Are you okay? I hope so. Are you happy?
I really hope you are happy today. So I’m just making sure that we are working. We’re doing some rather different things today. You see, We are. We are. Because we’re we’re doing something technically different today. We won’t bore you with the details. Let’s just say Mr.
Steve bought me a lovely gift at Christmas time. A wonderful gift. And we are using the gift right now on new microphones. So now we have microphones each so you can hear Mr. Steve clearly and also you can hear me nice and clearly as well. It looks as if the signal has improved.
So now we are looking rather nice on screen. Is isn’t not great. First of all, can I say it’s freezing? We have a strong, fairly strong northerly wind, north east, north westerly wind blowing in our faces. I said to Mr.
Duncan, we’ve got to move the camera around so that we’re blocked by the trees, are blocking the wind a bit because if we have to stand here for very long, we will get thoroughly chilled is what you say. I’m thoroughly chilled. Chilled meaning that wind or whatever, you’ve been outside too long.
And you of course Steve, that can also mean relaxed as well. If you are chilled, it means you are very relaxed as well. That’s true. But that isn’t the use of the word that I’m implying here. It is not. I’m implying that we are in fact freezing our genitalia off.
Look, the sun is actually out. We now have sunshine. Everyone, it’s official. There is sunlight shining on our lovely faces at the moment. For those who don’t know what this is, you might be wondering, who are these two weirdos on my screen at the moment? Well, my name is Duncan.
This is Mr. Steve. We talk about the English language. You might say that we are a couple of English addicts, amongst other things. I don’t think we’ll be able to stand it out here today. Mr. Duncan. I don’t know. As long as we are still alive
And long as if you see us sort of grinding to a halt. If you see us our skin going grey and white and pale, and that’s what you look like normally. Please, please tell us, because maybe we need medical attention where we I live, by the way.
I think I put them in. Yeah. I don’t know where to put them. I don’t know. They are. They are. Okay. I gave Mr. Steve his gloves. I gave Mr.. Well, yeah, it’s freezing. Can I operate this with these gloves on? So I want to have where we’re
Winging it State All right, before you. This is the problem, Steve. Steve just gets too excited over these things. Just let me do this. It’s alright, Steve. If you wing something, it means you’re just doing it without any preparation. So we’re winging it today. So we’re winging it today.
We’ve had this is we were doing this for the first time. Okay, Winging it. It means you have problems all around you and you have no preparation and you are trying your best to struggle. But we are not struggling today. I’m not struggling at all.
I am I’m going to operate the live chat. So I knew this was going to happen. I thought the moment Steve start, There we go. So I’ve got one hand with the glove on that day. Nice and warm and another one that is going to turn blue in the next.
Well, why don’t I take a look at the live chat? I am taking a look at the live chat that will take my mind off the cold. Can I say something? First of all, Steve Palmira, I’ve just received your message about your broken ankle. Can I say, Well, send my sympathies
And I hope you are resting there with your fractured ankle. Please don’t worry too much about it because we will keep you company today. If you need any cheer. I can say that we are the people you need to do it, Vitus says.
Knowing where the sun is, you can determine where is west and where is east. Why are you shouting? That’s funny. it’s not a joke. Now you’re actually being factual with that. Yes. So over there, the sun is going to set soon. So the west is over there in 2 hours. So yes.
So we’re facing sort of south that is south behind, as I would say. Okay. If you wanted to know where abouts, why the sun is shining over that side. So this is all very festive, but it’s very true in Brazil, says Bella. Aren’t you going to say something to call me?
Or if she’s got a broken ankle, that is. I had a broken ankle years and years ago. We didn’t care about like I know. I’m just saying I know what it’s like. No, I don’t care about you. Say commiserations upon me for your broken ankle. It’s very it must be very annoying.
Nobody cares about your broken ankle. Now I’m just empathising because I know what it’s like to have a broken ankle. You say get well soon, Palmira. Yes, Get well soon. Palmira, I. Of course, I empathise, but I’m showing my empathy by sharing the story
Of when I also broke my ankle in a car crash actually many, many years ago when I was in my early twenties and six weeks with the plaster. It was a bit inconvenient, although I did have six weeks of work. So yeah, it’s know all the muscles in your calves
Will waste away and you’ll have to build it all back up again. That’s nice. And you will each you have to put putting bits of wire down to scratch yourself because it gets very itchy down. First of all. Not anymore.
Because now they have these special they don’t put your ankle in plaster anymore. They use splints. So. So it’s all exposed. So. So nowadays they use these, these, they call them splints or do we know if that’s what primary risk got. So because I’ve seen it.
Right. Okay. I just I just literally said I’ve seen I from Brazil, Mario Lucio da Silva. We have lots of people watching in Brazil. Pedro might be on here if he isn’t already. Okay people you are know I’m just I’m just as he’s being very annoying, isn’t he?
Yes, but just say hello to people who are on the line. I’m saying hello to people gradually as we get through it. Hello, everyone. V Tests was first on the live chat. Vitus has made a lot of posts already so well done to you. Please like this lesson. Don’t forget to like
Is that the like take? So thank you very much to those that have obviously if you’re not liking it but if you’re not liking it, you’re probably not watching at the moment. I’m not expecting you to, but even if you are not liking it, please like it,
You probably watching something else because just because you’re not the. Francesca’s watching Traviata Verdi on her stereo. Francesca is. Yes. How do you watch something on your stereo listening to. Yeah. So she’s listening to it and watching it. I think she’s relaxing, watching the CD go around the room.
This is what women can do. They can do two things at the same time so she can get all excited with La Traviata both by and watch us at the same time. Well, this isn’t this is more of an opera. This is a this is like an opera, isn’t it? yes.
Now this is a Greek tragedy. Okay? That’s what this is. This is one of the tragedies from Greek, Greek times where somebody becomes, I don’t know, entangled in a relation ship that they can’t get out of, and then one of them ends up somewhere else. I didn’t know Francesca was an opera fan.
I love Verdi Requiem. Steve. yes. Are you sure it’s opera? Not Oper. Well, Traviata and Verdi are the clues, so yes, I hope you enjoy listening to that. But why is a signal so crass? I don’t know.
Maybe it’s the other three people who said that the signals that doing too much to Robert. Never mind. Maybe we’d be able to do that soon. What are they doing without without bad weather? Vete at the European figure skating Championships. Very nice.
We ought to do that outside here in the next few days. Steve. I only tried ice skating once and I was absolutely terrible at it. In fact, I’m just wondering. I wonder. Paul Mira, can you please tell us how did you. That’s that’s the obvious question, isn’t it?
We do want to know. Yes. was it an accident when you were in high heels or were you pushed and then I know a lot of women at school used to break their ankles. A lot of girls at school are wearing high heeled shoes. I’m not. I’m not. I’m not saying you’re.
You’re a victim of fashion, but maybe it was maybe you were doing something heroic at the time. But we’d like to know if you wish to share that with us. Of course we want to volunteer, so let’s move the fence somewhere else, because then we out the window.
It was only a two metres. they can’t make any difference like that. Honestly, I don’t know why that was just. Okay. Mr. Duncan, I know your carry on reading. The thing is, no one’s going to walk and is good. Says exercise is great here. This is quite a good spot here.
Yes, I think the problem is. Can I just tell you something? We do have a very weird situation around here where there is a very strange 5G signal. 5G signal. And I don’t know why why we have it because we’re not supposed to we’re not supposed to actually have one.
And I think that Mike sometimes caused a problem with the connection. This very strange. How are we doing now? We’re back. Yes. It just looks awful. I don’t know. One, it’s very strange. Yes. what can I say? now it is better. Apparently, everyone’s saying it’s suddenly better. Good. it doesn’t look better.
Not on here. No, it doesn’t. But, Well, we apologise for the. The poor signal. but what about moving it back there where you. Where you were originally? Yes, Well, before you told me to move it. I don’t think it’s that, but, yes. How’s that?
How are we doing? Do we have a signal? Are we. Are we clear? There’s a delay on there. By the way, that’s be a few seconds behind. this. This is. This is a big problem now, because no one’s going to be watching that.
It just like it looks like they’re watching through, a mug of soup. Why don’t we walk and carry on talking at the same time and then find someone with a better signal? Yes. So I think you have to restart the last train to do that, unfortunately. well, it’s just. This is going well.
I’ll carry this. So again, to see what happens. And Mr. Steve has the wonderful the wonderful job of making sure that the signal stays good. Okay, we’ll go. We go here for now, because I can see. Sorry. This is seems to look better now. Really? Yes. Know what it is?
It’s that 5G signal we have. We’re going to have that as that. that actually does look better, right? Maybe we’ve, Yes, I think what it is, is we’ve got this very weird 5G signal around here. But the problem is it’s a real 5G signal.
So if my phone connects to that, you don’t actually get a very good connection. I think that’s much better. And I know why. It’s because we have a 4G connection which is better and everyone is saying it’s much better. You don’t have to be like that again. It’s gone again. According to this.
Well, we do apologise, but the, not the best image anyway. but there you go. Okay, well, what can we do about it? Well, nothing. There’s nothing we can do yet. We had such a good signal. And one of the reasons also, apparently, if you. If you. If you have rain, apparently you can
Affect mobile phone signals quite badly, You can actually get really bad interference. So maybe that could be the reason why. Because of all the rain that we’ve been having. Very strange. And here are some people now, here are people who think that their dogs can be
Just let off the lead when they should be keeping it on the lead. That looks better now, Steve. That’s much better. Okay. We won’t move now. We seem to have the signal better now, Steve, Or do you think that is no any better? Well, there it is. That’s. That’s what we’re receiving.
That is so in slow motion. Yes, I hopefully will get better. It is better now. Yes. That’s what we want to know. that’s that’s, that’s what’s that’s what everyone else is receiving there. Yes, I understand that, Mr. Duncan. I just. It’s a shame they can’t get the nice view over there.
Well, that’s not it’s not push. look, as they say now, it is better. Thank you very much. So, shall we do it on I. The whole thing’s just been absolutely rubbish because of the signal quality. But now we’ve improved. And don’t forget, if you want to give us a like,
Just as a way of encouraging us, please, Mr. Duncan, I’m going to give you a lovely like, because just to encourage you, just to get you to, to feel happy about your circumstances. Pedro says it’s cold in Brazil, but we had somebody else earlier. It’s freezing from Brazil.
You said it was 25 degrees. So, what temperature is that? They’re Pedro. I think it’s spring at the moment. Is it spring or midsummer? Well, it could be late summer in. No, I think it’s still springtime in Brazil. Definitely. Maybe the trees broke. The signal says Olga. Yeah, maybe there is always.
There’s always something to interfere. hello. your. Yes, it is. Olga says it’s much better now. It’s going to be. It’s gone again. Well, what should we do? Restart it, Go somewhere else? I don’t know. It’s weird. It’s very strange. It is very strange. Yes. The chat still works with everything else, doesn’t it?
Seems to come and go. That’s a very strange situation, because before we’ve had two amazing live streams, haven’t we? Where the signal has been incredible. But I think it’s just because everywhere is that what happens when the ground is wet, the signals tend to bounce all over the place
And that is something that can happen from time to time. Anyway, we are here. We’re going to that. It’s a brilliant signal, so. Well, that’s that. No, that’s, that’s right. But that that’s that’s that device and that’s picking up that. But I don’t know what that would be picking up.
It could be see I don’t know. I’d have to see what the signal will tell you. That cuts the live stream briefly. Fine. yeah. It feels like everything we should be doing before we go on. Yeah, it’s. It’s gone again. Yeah, it’s coming again.
Why don’t we just try and walk down there, okay? This is. This is Mr. Steve. We’re going to. We’re going to walk about. Okay. it’s all good. It’s not your fault. It’s our fault. Unfortunate fault. but I think it’s Mr. Steve’s fault. He always blames me for everything. And you got your back?
Yes, I’ve got my back. I have to remind Steve, because I worry all the time. I might have lost a glove, but I’ve got some people say that I nag at Mr. Steve, but I don’t. this is going to be really good. Yes, This is the modest path
That exists in Shropshire, and Mr. Steve has decided that we should walk this way, look at the path. It’s so muddy. Actually, you probably can’t see the signal. Looks like I don’t hear that, Mr. Duncan. so there we go. This is something you’ve never seen before.
We’re walking and talking and presenting an English lesson all at the same time. Yeah, this is the only problem, Steve. We haven’t actually presented an English lesson yet. What are we going to talk about today? You did tell me earlier, Mr. Forgotten, that. Steve, Let me just. This is not the easiest thing.
Easy walking around with a fully unfolded tripod. But if you are, I’m saying it’s very good now, so maybe we should stop here. Mr. Duncan. okay. here’s a nice little spot. how is it? Well, according to that, it looks like it looks terrible. Does it? Okay, Carry on walking there.
There is a delay, you see. Just wait there, sir. Steve Okay. that doesn’t. That doesn’t look too bad. Stop. Is anyone still watching this? Yes. yeah. where is it? Sophie? What? Where? Where, where? Near much. Wenlock in Shropshire. On a path.
So that Shropshire, by the way, because I’m sure a lot of people don’t know where it is. Shropshire is towards the west of England, not very far away from Wales. And in fact, just over there is Wales, just over there, not very far away. That’s we could point the camera the other way.
I’m not I’m not moving that camera. I’m I love to have people come by. Yes, but okay. yeah. So what we’re talking about, say, Mr. Duncan. Well, I told you already. So you’ve forgotten. Well, but we haven’t told that that was a print.
It’s literally that is the title of today’s lesson, which is only if that’s just. Well, anyway. Well, I don’t know, Mr. Duncan, just tell us today. We’re talking about wanting a meeting. What is the difference between wanting something and needing something? Is there a difference? Are there times when wanting something
Is is more important than needing something? And my answer to that would be yes, because there are differences. When we talk about want and need, something we want might be something we desire. So we often use the word desire when we talk about want. Need could be something that you have to have
In which to survive, in which to live, in which to actually exist. For example, you need air, you need water, you need food. Those things are what you need. But you might also feel hungry. So you want to eat something, you want to have a drink,
You want to go outside and breathe in the fresh air. So in some circumstances and situations there might be a time where want and need are actually the same thing as in the case of a mobile phone system. Yes, I need I need a mobile phone signal. I want a mobile phone signal.
I have both of those things would be very nice indeed. Are there any kissing gates? It says English lessons screaming into the like, okay, Are there any roads? Yes. Somebody is already kissing it. Yes, there are. But not in this particular point. No. And there aren’t any cattle. That is interesting, though.
I really just realised there are no kissing gates around here. That’s because there are no cattle in the fields here. This is arable farming here. So by arable I mean crops. So there’s no cattle to escape in this particular part of the country. I would imagine if the farmers decided
That they were going to replace these fields and put cattle in them, then they would put kissing gates up. But there isn’t any because I that’s why there’s no kissing gate. Most of these fields around us are used for are used for for crops, not cattle.
So they don’t really need to protect the land or to keep the animals in because there aren’t any animals here. Sophie, Cheers from Pinang. Hello, Penang. Hello, Penang. Well, we know Penang in Malaysia very well. We are very familiar with it because we used to go there a lot in the 1990s.
We used to go there all the time for all of the holiday. Very nice, beautiful food. The some of the best food in the world is in Penang and some of the worst. No, no. We had a lovely time in Penang where joking This time is everywhere, isn’t it?
I’m not joking. The food is amazing. Well, yeah, what have you. I was just joking. Yes, we spent a lot of time in Penang and had lots of holidays there. And we’ve got friends over there. Maybe we’ll see them again. Connections. Great. Now. Yeah, that’s good. so good.
We’re glad that you’ve can see if there are people hovering. Can you see those people in the distance? The car is too hovering too far away. They’re trying to decide whether they want to come by or not or whether they’re going the right way.
Well, no one is coming by here now because we’ve got a good signal. They will have to get going, does they? Well, there’s loads of room here. There’s no problem, Steve. If they want to come this way, they can. It’s a free world. But I’m not moving this camera.
There’s no way I’m moving this. Not now. right. Well, we’ll have to move aside. So these people just loads of room steeples and people are coming. Okay, Here we go. I’m going to let a go, I think. Ha ha. All right, so here we are. We’re live again. We’re here.
We are not going anywhere. We are in the twigs. So getting more and more exciting. This is all Steve was worried about today by the way. He kept saying, what if people want to come by and you have to consider you have to consider the practicalities. Hello. Well, the thing is, Mr.
Duncan, you have to consider the the practicalities. Mr. Duncan Art, at any costs for Mr. Duncan to think about, you know, being attacked. I am a perfectionist. but there’s also another thing. I don’t. I don’t really care too much about people who are walking around me
When I’m filming or doing a live stream because they just have to move around me. But that’s yeah, until you get stabbed or something then, yeah. Okay. Anyway, the connections, if we could actually, you know, you’ve moved that. We’ve proved the connection works, Mr. Duncan Maybe we could that.
Well, no, because that way for the last year. Yes, but that that might lose the connection. No, this is great. We’ve got a lovely aspect. We’ve got the path going off into the distance. Keep going, Mr. Duncan. Keep going. Okay, I’m going further. Do you? We might get rid of him.
Keep going, Mr. Duncan. Further. can you still hear me? Bye bye. Mr. Duncan, it’s Miles stream now. Bye bye. Bye bye. The thing is, he’s got at least a 200 metre range on that. I do. I can still hear me.
I a bit of extra money getting special microphones with with a long distance on them. So what it means is that he can go as far as he likes and yes, you’ll still be able to here, which is a shame, but never mind. most of Britain is picturesque, says Olga. Well, you’re right.
It is. It depends where you go. Depends where you go around here. Yes, it’s very nice. but if you went into Birmingham, for example, you wouldn’t think that it was very picturesque. And I think in any country, if you go where the countryside is, you’re probably going to have a nice view.
To be honest, when we are in the countryside, which means that everything is probably going to be rather nice, Can we just show you something very quickly? I’m going to be very daring here just for a just a very brief moment of time. If you look down there, there, there is much Wenlock.
There it is in the distance in the valley. Look, there is much Wenlock, the place where we often talk to you from with all of the lovely cafes and shops and places to visit. So now you know how near we are or how far we are from much. Wenlock
My nose is running because it’s cold. At least we’re out of the wind now. Yes, it is cold. Right. So we talk about what were going to talk about Mr. Duncan. Well, we did start talking about it before we were rudely interrupted by those stupid people with the stupid dogs.
They got every right, Mr. Duncan, to be out here. I know. I’m only joking. Is Mr. Steve sometimes says very nice. Well, is there a difference? I think sometimes if you want too much, if you want too many things, or maybe things you don’t really need, then that is a different situation.
We can often describe that as greed. And I think these days a lot of people are quite greedy. Have you noticed? Have you noticed how greedy some people tend to be? Not always. I’m not blaming everyone, but some people can be rather greedy. Maybe instead of just wanting enough money
To survive, they want lots and lots and lots of money. Lots and lots of money. Mr. Duncan. there’s other people coming. We’re going to have to move. Well, yes, well, I did see this coming, by the way. Well, let’s I tell you this.
The middle of winter says Olga, but we have green grass around. Amazing. Yes, well, the green grass doesn’t go even in the harshest of winters. We still always have green grass. Yes. So that the leaves come off the trees? Yes. Because on the deciduous trees.
But we still have the green grass, which is. Right. Which is that never seems to go. I don’t know why, but it never does. Even in the middle of winter, grass normally starts growing in the winter. It still is growing, but it doesn’t die away. It doesn’t fade away.
I it is. It doesn’t disappear. Not completely, no. So there’s the grass will go to sleep. I imagine during winter a lot of things will stop because that kind of green sleep, they’re taking a little rest during the cold months. Yeah, exactly. So, yeah, the grass is still here.
As I say, that leaves a fallen off the deciduous trees, and, But the grass is still here. You could eat it if you were a herbivore. I’m sure there are rabbits coming out of their warrens that would be eating the grass. So that’s quite good for them.
So even in the harshest of harsh winters, the grass will always be there. But obviously this bush here would normally have leaves on it that he hasn’t at the moment. This is a very good example of something that has lost its leaves
Then that we knew then thankfully, we could move away from this Bush now. Mr.. No, no. Well, this is the only place we can get a signal, and it’s right in the middle of the footpath. Can you believe it? It’s right in the middle of the footpath. Okay, let’s go back.
I do like this aspect of the footpath, by the way. We’re still smiling. I’m still smiling. happy New Year. says Beatrice to flower, as we mentioned this last week. But this came up in come this year, when is it appropriate to stop saying happen? Is it the first few days of January?
I think ten days. And then stop saying it or else you sound a bit silly. Or is it after even if you say you haven’t spoken to anybody since before the new year, it was a friend and you find them up in February, Could you say Happy New Year
If you haven’t spoken to them for since before the end of the year, would you do that? You could do it as a joke. Maybe. I did it to some of my customers as a joke this week. I said, hello, Happy New Year.
And they laughed because it’s gone past the point where it’s sin. You know, it’s funny now to say, Happy New Year. Happy Christmas. By the way, we still have our Christmas tree up. We do. We’ve taken everything else down and all of the Christmas decorations and the Christmas cards.
We’ve taken them down, but we still have the Christmas tree with the lights flashing. It’s lovely. I have to say I love the Christmas tree. It’s coming on again. never mind. What can we do? Some people are saying they haven’t. Flower Aspic says I haven’t spoken to you for a long time.
I miss you all. we miss you too, Flower. With a name like that, how could you not be missed? a name that that says beauty, that says nice scent softness. what flower speak? I don’t know what the speaker is. Blah. What does the espoir mean?
Please tell us so that we can, We can, we can know your the full meaning of your name. Do you guys walk daily in this area? Says Mario Lucia Silva? Yes. Or is it Lucio Lucia? Thank you, Mario. Yes, we do. We walk around here quite a lot. Well, I do.
What would explain that? I’m joking. I’m James. Explain what you mean. So I tend to saying, yes, I’m lazy and I do nothing. And he does all the walking. But that’s not true. You do come out on Saturday, as I said. Yes, I do. I do. I’m active all the time.
I’m joking. Mr. Duncan jokes. It doesn’t sound like it. Well, yes, because I’m a good actor, But, But no, it is lovely to come out here, isn’t it, Mr. Duncan, and walk around, in the open air. And the beauty of the shop, the countryside. It’s okay. It’s about love. It’s all right. Hope.
It means flower. Hope? Yes. Blah. A spa is equal to house as Vitesse. So the the flower of hope. I like that. Patrick says they’re not saying Happy New Year this year, maybe. Maybe they’re not expecting a happy New Year. By the way, we come in peace. For those wondering, Mr.
Steve and myself, we come in peace. Okay. I was going to start off the stream by saying that today I was going to say we’re in England, but we come in process, in which case, so Regina says, I feel cold just seeing you. What did you say?
That’s the name of this person? No. What do you say? I feel cold just seeing you do this. It do so. So I really don’t want to go there. What would you say? I didn’t hear you properly that Regina said. I feel cold just seeing you. I see. So. Yeah.
So there’s nothing worse. I’ve got a look at this. You see, I’ve got one hand with a glove. There’s nothing worse than on one hand without because I can’t operate the IV chat with a glove on the screen doesn’t respond. So this kind is getting it’s
Almost beginning to seize up when it goes, when it turns blue. Mr. Duncan, I’m going home. I tell you what I will. I will hold it and you can put your glove on. There you go. No, I’m fine. Now I’m in charge. Interesting. Well, I like the live chat, Mr. Guinea.
You’ve now you’ve now cut off one of my limbs. It feels like because without the live chat, I’m nothing. Talking of which, there is a very strange situation that I’ve been reading about on the news and looking about looking at on the Internet. Not everywhere, but in some places.
Probably there are some people that like chopping parts of their body off for fun. Have you heard about that? There is one guy and he’s had lots of different parts of his body cut off, removed, but they don’t have to be. But he just wants it for fun. He enjoys it.
Isn’t that strange? And even pays people to do it? I have it’s just, you know, there are some very weird people or some strange people. Strange people. So if any of you had parts of your body removed and,
Because you just want to do it and post it on YouTube, but there are people apparently there’s a group of people I don’t know what they call themselves. There is a name I can think of where they get their kicks. Anyway, I think you get your kicks. It means you get turned.
And I wasn’t going to get too deep into it by cutting off body and some of the body parts I was somebody recently in the news here cut off one of their legs. Yes, that’s one of them. Just so that they could get benefits. Yes. So they didn’t want to work.
They wanted Social Security services, security, government benefits, which you do get if you’re disabled, if you’re disabled in this country and you can’t work, you will get government benefits. They need a Social Security school. So somebody didn’t want to work so much, chopped off one of their legs
So they would get so they made themselves disabled on purpose. So then they could claim Social Security. There are some very strange people around in this world, but, you know, there we go. But anyway, he was found out that he did it deliberately and they’ve taken his benefits away
Because if you do it deliberately, you don’t qualify good for benefits, which is, you know, fair enough. Have you got anything to show Mr. Duncan? Well, we’re showing ourselves. Isn’t that enough? Isn’t that enough? You’ve got us on your screen right now live from England on a Sunday afternoon.
So we’re doing this today outside. I know normally we are in the studio, but today we we’ve come outside. Let’s just check the signal to make sure we’re still okay. Lewis is coughing not to bother today. but, there’s a lot of people with bad colds. COVID.
I know a lot of people have been getting very bad COVID. and, just the usual seasonal and get well soon. Lewis I know you’ve been not too well over the past few days, so please get well soon and we will keep you company when we can.
So everyone seems to be in the wars. It’s, it’s an expression we use in English. If someone is in the wars, it means they are suffering some sort of difficulty or maybe some sort of harm. Something happens to them, or maybe lots of things happen to them that are negative.
We can say you have really been in the wars. Yeah. So if you if you say you’ve had a black eye or you you look good and you look like you injured yourself in some way, someone might say to you at work or friends or
You look like you’ve been in the wars, literally, meaning it looks like you’ve been in a battle because you look like there’s something wrong with you. But obviously not literally in a war. But that’s an expression you use to to to say that somebody doesn’t look very well. It is figurative. Yeah.
The I mean, their clothes might be torn, something might have happened, they might have fallen over or you, you look like you’ve been in the wars. you can send cold apologies once again for the difficulty with the signal, but so we’re going to remember this spot that we’re in now.
So if we come up here again, Steve, this is where we are going to stand. Although it’s gone again. Look. All right, Well, we’re not sure. It’s probably cold, isn’t it, Mr. Zuma? I think it’s connected. It’s connected to the to the front.
Everything’s wet and the signals are all going all over the place. And we have a lot of people watching at the moment. We have nearly 80 people. Well, that’s it. Maybe we should just keep going there. Mr. Duncan Yes, because obviously people are realising that
They’re all just wondering what the hell this is. Yes, it’s different. It’s different. Definitely different. Today. It rid of the water of IPOB. It’s coming and going. I think it’s all right. there we go again. Now, Steve was in the live chat. Giovanni says, I’m a bit jealous
Because I’ve got a bad cold and flu. so I’m laying on the sofa, There we go. Giovanni Revathi. Lots of people with bad colds and flu at the moment. Yes. it would appear that there is always something going around, certainly across Europe. Yes.
So when we say that something is going around, it means lots of people are catching a certain thing. Something is going around, maybe a certain virus or some sort of bug. So lots of people get seasonal colds and fever and normally it will go around amongst a group of people or a community.
I would point out that it’s unusual for somebody to disable themselves by self amputation in order to get out of work and to have benefits. But that’s that’s the extreme vary. But a lot of people will pretend pretend to get benefits because you know the UK is known for its generous benefits system
And people will will pretend that they’ve got broken ankles or legs or something. The most common one that people pretend that they have is a bad back and because you can’t prove it. So if you have pain in your back, you can say that you have pain in your back,
But it’s very hard to prove that there is pain in your back. Yes. Medically, apparently it’s very difficult for a doctor. You can go and say you’ve got a bad back, but there’s no way he can tell you and he can sign you off work, for two or three weeks or six even.
Yeah. and another common one is to say that you feel depressed. And a lot of people might be, but that a lot of people have been going off work in the UK due to mental health issues, let’s put it that way. You’re saying some people are pretending?
Well, I’m sure a lot of people are pretending because you again, you can go to your doctor. Obviously there are genuine cases, but there will be some people I mean, I know I’ve heard people at work say literally say to me,
You know, if I want some time off work, all I’ve got to do is go to the doctor and say that I’m stressed and they’ll put me off work for two weeks or longer. And I’ve literally heard people say that, well,
You know, if it gets too difficult at work, I’ll just go off work with mental health problems. And, you know, a doctor is not going to argue with you again today. It is also worth noting, can I just say, if you do pretend to be ill to to collect Social Security,
Quite often you will be investigated as well. So they normally send people, if they become suspicious and think that maybe you are pretending they will follow you and they will find out what you are actually doing in your life. Yeah.
So if you say that you have a bad back or you have pain and you can’t do any particular type of work, then they might check. They might find that you’re going out into the streets or maybe taking up a very dangerous hobby. And it has happened.
People have actually been caught pretending to have some sort of illness and then they feel themselves doing something very, very adventurous, something very physical. And then and then they’ve been caught pretending that they’re actually ill, but when they’re not. So it can happen. It can happen. Definitely. A friend of mine, says Inaki,
Was in doubt about the expression You are welcome. As an answer to to as a form of gratitude. Is it an old fashioned expression? You are welcome. You are welcome is normally a reply to gratitude. Yes. Not. We don’t say you are welcome. Yes. There’s an answer to gratitude.
Yes, as an answer to gratitude. So yeah, I might say thank you, Mr. Steve, for joining us. And you will say you are welcome. That’s it. So it’s normally given as a response or a reply to another person thanking you for something. Thank you for coming today. Thank you for joining me today.
And you might say, Mr.. You are welcome. Yes. I mean, it is an old expression, but it’s still used I it’s people still use that in the UK quite a lot. Yeah. Maybe younger people wouldn’t, but so much. But you’re welcome your well, you’re welcome.
You’re welcome all you are welcome, if you’ve done something for somebody and they. Thank you, you say. Yeah, you’re welcome. It is courtesy or my pleasure is another phrase you could use. It is courtesy. You’re welcome. My pleasure. and quite.
I mean, I will say that to people, if, if I go round to, to a customer and I help them out with something and they say, well, thank you very much. well, they don’t say Mr. Steve, thank you very much for coming around and assisting us to say, you’re welcome, or My pleasure.
But I will definitely say that people do say it is not. And it’s an old expression, but it’s still used. and I don’t know whether young people use it, but certainly they say, What do you mean young people? Well, younger than us. Yes. People still say life in their twenties. You’re welcome.
It’s okay. Thanks a lot. You’re welcome. It’s not that you must think about. It’s just something you say. You’re in that room thinking about what the alternative be. Get lost. No. You could say yes if you did so. If I couldn’t say to my customers at work, if they said, yeah.
Thank you for coming in today, I said, Well, it’s just my job, you know, I’m just doing it because it’s my job. You could. There are other responses. That’s what I’m trying to get into. There are other things you could say. Yeah. My pleasure. No problem. No problem. No problem.
No problem. Thank you very much. No problem. No bother. It sounds like a letter. Yes, it’s fine. No problem. Don’t mention it. Don’t mention it. There’s no need to thank me. Don’t mention it. So there are many alternatives, So you don’t necessarily have to say you are welcome.
There are some alternatives to that. And it may be regional. It may be in certain areas. They They say certain things like in, Nicoletta says in Glasgow she heard the phrase no bother. Well yes, said with a with a strong Scottish accent no doubt. but it, it’s not something that you would
Necessarily hear maybe in London or in other parts. No bother. Some people might say it might be regional. That might and it might be if a lot of people in that area say it, then it might be common to that area. But no bother. I’ve certainly heard that used before. No worries.
There’s another one, Nicoletta. Yeah, no worries. and you don’t mention it. It’s. It’s fine. Thank you very much. You’re welcome. It’s not a problem. No worries. Yeah, don’t mention it. in the country. Yes, we are in the countryside. Giovani, I’m sorry. We’re just outside. we know. And, yes, we are just near.
We’re very close to much, Wenlock. I think I did actually show an image just now. I will do it again. I will risk it over there. Down. There is much, Wenlock. There it is. You can see it in the distance. So that actually is much Wenlock. Down there in the valley.
I very low down you just saw there. how’s my hand looking? It’s gone very red. My goodness. Bearing. That is terrible, Steve. Yeah, it’s okay, Red. It’s when it goes blue, that’s when you start to worry. that’s nice. Yes. Is that actually just for better? Yeah,
But as I’ve explained, you can’t operate the. The iPad with gloves on. Although you can with those gloves. These they’re very special. But those are special gloves I bought for Mr. Duncan a few Christmases ago because they can be used on an iPad
Because there’s something in the in the tips of the fingers that make it because I need to scroll the screen up and down, you see, to be able to read the live chat. And I can’t do that with no more gloves off with a drag. Don’t tap drag.
And they go, you say, but as as and actually the use is starting to go. I it’s, I mean you would think there’s no frost on the ground. It’s probably, it’s probably two degrees. It’s not actually below zero. It is cold because there’s no frost. But it nevertheless, because it’s wet,
It’s damp and it feels cold because it feels colder because of that. But at least four out of the wind. well, that was useful. The fields are so green in England, says Giovanni. I saw the forecast. And they are freezing. Yes So these this field, you can see over here, these are crops.
Actually, it looks like grass. And I think I think this normally has crop, but at the moment they are between between the seasons. So I don’t think there’s anything growing here at the moment. Yeah. This is just I think this is just grass, you know, it’s just grass actually
That normally there might be wheat coming up, so the wheat would be coming up. And then when there’s a frost or start growing and then when the frost goes away. Yes. In England they plant they always in in the autumn they’re always putting their like the wheat seeds.
I think they put plant the wheat in and do all that before winter because then it can grow a bit and at least start to sprout and the roots can grow. And then when the because we never really have really severe weather, we might
Get a week or two when it’s below freezing, but that’s about it. Because of as somebody pointed out earlier, we have the Gulf Stream, which is a warm water that comes passes past the west coast of England, and because of that warm water, the winds that off
It mean that the UK remains much warmer than it would do compared to somewhere like Central Europe. That doesn’t have the benefit of the warm winds off that warm water. Okay. Called the Gulf Stream. So yeah, England should be I mean, I’ve often said we’d be ten degrees
Cooler in the winter if it wasn’t for the Gulf Stream. but so we are very lucky about that. that we’ve got that, to keep us for our, our latitude. We should be a lot colder, but we’re not because we’ve got the Gulf Stream. What do you mean, latitude?
So that’s our position on the planet North. Yes, now on the planet. So you go, you go south southern latitude. You go north, northern latitude. So that’s where we are. So the latitudes are what go, go round that way. The longitude is that way.
They are imaginary lines that sense in them as, as lines, but they’re not real or imagined lines of latitude. or Yes. So if you think of the earth as a globe, it is how the that goes, but it is how the sailors and seamen
In the past used to find their way around the oceans. yes. So. So yes, for where we are, we’re quite far north, really, the UK. And it should be, if you look at other countries on the same latitude as us, they are a lot colder than us in the winter because they don’t
Have the Gulf Stream, which is this warm body of water that keeps the UK a lot, you know, probably ten degrees warmer than it should be in the winter. Yes, If you draw a line across the map, you will find that that our country is on the same line
Is maybe parts of Russia and parts of China and maybe even northern China and Mongolia. It’s quite strange when you draw a line across the map and you find out that that certain places have very different temperatures, even though they’re in a very similar position on the planet with with their latitude.
Charlotte Seth, I would like to visit your medieval city. Yes. Strictly speaking, you would say it’s a town. a city. If you say a city, don’t you? In the UK, at least in the UK, when we say city, you, it’s got to have a cathedral. Yes.
To for it to be called a city. It’s not actually 100% true now. No. But when I grew up in the sixties seventies, my mother always used to say to me, it’s only a city if it’s got a cathedral. But since then they’ve relaxed that a bit.
And for example, Wolverhampton is now a city, but it doesn’t have a cathedral. They’ve relaxed that rule, but generally speaking also it’s about population as well. The number, the number. So I think it’s over a hundred, 110, 115,000 people. So if you have a large population as well,
But we only have 5000 people living here in much Wenlock, which stands alone. It’s not something that many did it. It is, yes, 5000. But I’ve read over a distance so much. Wenlock has cover quite a large area, but it’s only 5000. So much. Wenlock is only really a small town.
Yes, it’s a town. so because it’s got 5000. It’s a town. It would be a village if it had, I don’t know, maybe less than a thousand or just a few hundred. You would say it was a village. And then smaller than that, maybe less than 100
A hamlet in, so, yes, you’ve got to have a cathedral. It’s a very big, in order to normally nine times out of ten, if you were to name a city in the UK, you would, you would go by that traditional mark
Of being a city, as you say, a big population and has a cathedral. Well, I think, I think when people used to name the city, they used to call it a cathedral city. So it would also be somewhere in the title to make sure that people realised it’s important world.
Olga says, I’ve made a cut in my gloves so that I can operate my phone. I did that with a pair of my old gloves that are made of wool. I actually cut a hole in the finger so I could operate the screen.
The only problem is the end of that finger then becomes very cold. Yes. And I’m not going to do that to these gloves because they were quite expensive and they’re waterproof. So I’ve had these for years. So I don’t want to cut a hole in, but I don’t usually operate
My phone with, with, at all when I’m out walking, I always leave my phone at home because I just don’t like to take the phone with me. which is very unusual, isn’t it, These days, these days, people always to have their phones with them, particularly the younger generations.
And I just love the way you say that the younger generation with their iPads and their iPhones and their roller skates and the the hula hoops. Yeah, that’s true. But a lot of people watching them, it’s a different kind of the numbers keep going up. It’s good, sir. Thank you.
Then they also keep going down, bearing with us. If you bear with us, it means that your your if you bear with something, I means you’re hanging on your your your tolerating may be something that is all of the sun’s come out. Yes. the summit. Yes. Okay.
With this, everything is sort of one thing if you. Yes. Say for example, earlier on, when the signal was bad, we could have said, bear with us. It just means, you know, Wait, wait for a bit. Just stay. Don’t don’t go anywhere. Please bear with us.
Please, just be patient. Don’t. Don’t go away. Bear with us. Please. Just. Just if there is a problem, don’t go away. You don’t have to apologise, Charlotte. You don’t have to say sorry. It was my pleasure to. To tell you that, you know, this is what we do. Yes, this is our job.
But your job, I’m just assisting to, Is that correct? You’re a little. Is that what you called it, Steve Transgress sessions, shall we say? That’s what I mean. If you transgress, it means you do something wrong, doesn’t it? Yes. Maybe you’re going out to the boundaries of what is acceptable.
You do something incorrectly and trying to transgress. You go off the beaten path. maybe if you. Yeah, if you do something out of character, something that other people might not think was, acceptable, you could be very posh and say, you know, you could say I’ve transgressed.
You know, it means you’ve gone away from your normal behaviour and done something bad. Like maybe having an affair with somebody was, or Yes, or you got drunk and you don’t normally get drunk at a party and you were shouting and screaming and got into a fight.
Can you just look at life’s chance? Do you think you carry on that I have to sometimes stop Steve when he’s explaining something because he explained it for so long, a very long time, even though he’s actually made the point. But we do have the live chat.
We are always glad to have you here, by the way. And the sun is now shining on me and Steve and it’s lovely. The West over there that sun is coming from the well, nearly the west West ish. okay. Because as we know, the sun doesn’t always set
In exactly the same place because we as we know that we were very, we only really realise that when we moved here because the sun was obviously. Yeah. It’s so anyway I didn’t realise until we moved here that the sun sets in slightly different places during the seasons.
This tell me that, that because, because unless you’ve got, unless you can see the sun setting. So we lived in Wolverhampton in a big distance. You can tell that the sun isn’t setting in the right.
Well, not as much as when we moved here because we’ve, we’ve got a clear view of the horizon. So you can tell that it’s always setting in. You’re right, Steve. That’s true. Yes, I’m wrong and Steve is right. But what I didn’t realise, what we didn’t realise is the big difference between it
Sets in the summer and where it sets in the winter. You always think sun rises in the east, sets in the west. That’s the expression we all know. But actually it sort of rises sort of in the east and set sort of in the west. It is not exact.
It changes depending on the time of the year as the Earth changes its tilt, it will tilt one way and then it slowly moves in other ways. It gets around the sun. So it’s going around the sun. It’s revolving and it’s changing its angle and that’s why we have the seasons.
Giovanni asks, How many miles are there on average? I think you mean between villages, towns and cities in England? because I live in a very densely populated area of Italy where we are packed with buildings. Yes, well, obviously, I think Italy is probably be bigger than than than England or the UK.
I think it is. And so here, yes, Shropshire is where we are. And in this particular county is the least populated or certainly one of the least populated areas of the UK. If you went to the West Midlands, you would you would find that you can you can travel for,
You know, probably 20 miles in the West Midlands County and you wouldn’t see any countryside at all. You would just be going from one town or city to the next because it’s very densely populated. But here it’s not. And just and you’re in Italy, of course, where you go. Mr. Jenkins.
I’ve had enough of Mr. Steed in the I can carry on talking of gaining. Stay where we are. Just as you’ve got places in Italy, of course, in the country where there would be large gaps between one town or village. And we have here, there’s, there’s no average.
But obviously if you’re in the West Midlands, you’re going to or London, you’ll travel for 20 miles or more and, and you would you just just be built up everywhere you go, but not here. You must have places in Italy where you can travel
For long periods of time and you’re in the country. You’re out and about seeing the lovely countryside and it could be all right ten miles between one village and another. I have to say, I hate these new microphones. Why? Because I can’t shut you up. That’s true. I can’t.
I can’t actually get Mr. Steve to be quiet. the signal’s much better now. we go. Yes. That’s one of the reasons why I moved. Take me back to Mr. Si, says Giovanni Revathi. I believe that the. I’ve got to keep my tongue, haven’t I?
The top of my teeth when I say the tea is not correct. It’s very hard to do that in the cold, though. If the weather was cold, it’s very hard to do that because everything freezes. I’m doing, You will be. Pleased to know, Giovanni. Yeah. Talking of Italian, I’m doing a well known
Operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan called the Gondoliers. The gondoliers. You can look that up and it’s, it’s, it’s a, it’s a musical, an operetta about the gondoliers in, in Italy. And I have to sing quite a bit of Italian in that, so, Bongiorno, Senior Rita.
So and you’ll be, you know, we might send you some excerpts from, but when we’ve it so yeah, so you can look that up. Giovanni and the Gondoliers by Gilbert and Sullivan and, it’s a sort of a, it’s a sort of, it’s a operetta about, it’s a, it’s a, it’s a comic opera
About gondoliers in Italy, hence the name the Gondoliers. So, do look that up. and you will see I’m doing Marco, one of the one of the young, handsome gondoliers who has to try and woo all the women. It’s, it’s fun, it’s comedy and I’m doing that in February.
We’re rehearsing it at the moment. It would have to be comedy with you in it. the sun. we’re getting natural light, Mr. Duncan. This will boost our immune system. This will boost our mental health. I’m not sure about that. Apparently, you need, you need 20,000
Lux or 10,000 Lux is what they measure light in. What does that mean? And you look at Alli. Rex, you need 10,000 of that every day to keep mentally healthy. These are not the measurement of photons. Vitamin D. well, are we getting vitamin D? Well, apparently, yes, I.
I thought this is true, Olga, that any sun you will get vitamin D, but apparently it only works if the sun is at a certain angle in the sky. Otherwise it’s not strong enough to stimulate the skin into producing vitamin D so it’s so low in the sky. If we could show you.
It’s literally virtually on the horizon. This isn’t going to work. Apparently. I found that out only yesterday. Olga. Yesterday, you realised that the sun is not always strong. Carlos is, a Spanish living in Leamington Spa. Well, I’m. You’re going, then? I’m going to Leamington Spa. Steve is going to Leamington Spa next week.
On Wednesday, you can meet up our. Yes, I’m going to Leamington Spa on Wednesday. Carlos so what a coincidence incident. Are you working there? Carlos I’m not going to be there for long. And then you go in for like an hour and a half. I’ve got to go and meet a colleague.
There for a meeting. so it’s not too far from much Wenlock, is it? Leamington Spa? Probably an hour and 20 minutes drive. I would say. Yes. so maybe you could meet up for a coffee or a McDonald’s? Giovanni says yes. Keep going. Learning, Learning Italian.
You’ll be prepared when I come to England for a meet up. Yes. I’ll be able to say anything to you. that is in that operetta I. Which might not necessarily be things you want me to say to you. because most of them are directed at trying to. Trying to chat up women.
Yes. okay. But then chat up, you know, talk to get the operator. What do you mean by why would that be a problem? Well, I’m just saying it’s funny to learn Italian from just an opera. and you can only use the expressions that are in the opera. That would be funny.
Anything you say to me, I have to respond something. the only Italian that when I was from that opera, we. We understand that that would be quite funny. Actually. The expression I need to know is I would not touch you with a bargepole. You like that? Yeah. Did you say that?
That was actually a very clever and of course joke gondoliers. Yeah. That Was a very clever joke. I just made that. Consiglieri of course have poles don’t they, for their boats. Yes I remember. I did, I did this in 2007.
The same opera and we came onto the stage to come onto the stage holding a boat, the two of us come on holding it, holding a sort of well, it was a sort of canoe. It was supposed to look like a gondolier, but, so I’m a gondolier, which is presumably the people
That ride in the gondoliers and the gondoliers, the boats, aren’t they. I think they, for someone who is appearing in a show called The Gondoliers, you seem to have very little knowledge of gondoliers. Carlo’s is working in Coventry, but we that’s Carlos and his partner have moved to Leamington Spa.
Leamington Spa is a very posh place to live. It is. It is a spa town which. Which is something that, that is often that is often given by the monarchy. So it’s royal Leamington Spa. It actually has an extra name, an extra part of its title. It is Royal Leamington Spa.
It’s very posh Leamington Spa is where people from Birmingham like to live or Coventry because it is more Up-Market. If you don’t want to live in a big city, you might work in Birmingham, you can live in Leamington. If you say you live in Leamington Spa, that’s very posh
In, the UK, very posh, so well done. And it is a very nice place. It is, it’s got lovely buildings. It’s a bit like Cheltenham if you’ve ever been to Cheltenham. Similar sort of. It’s like a Regency sort of Royal as you say, has some beautiful building, some beautiful buildings, nice shops.
It’s got a nice it’s a nice town you’ve got everything there but you’re not in a big city are you called Mr. Duncan. That’s my, I think I might be getting hypothermia. Well I think we will have to go in a minute. It won’t be Mr. Duncan. have you got to see?
I’ve got. I’ve got, like, long johns on. I haven’t. Have you seen Long, John? long Johns. There I There is, brother Short. Mike. That’s a good one, Mr. Duncan. He’s such a got a quick brain. Mr. Duncan. I always called you quick brain.
Duncan Don’t you do, cause he’s got a very quick, very quick with the responses. but one of us has to be. Yes, I’ve got long johns on, which means I’ve got that, like, tight. That almost like tights, but they’re thick sort of coverings that you wear underneath your trousers as an extra layer.
We call them long johns and all thermal underwear. Thermal underwear. But the old fashioned name would be long johns, but they’re basically tights, but they don’t look like women’s tights that thick. Have you noticed, though? I’ve noticed footballers, professional footballers and people who play football, they all wear tights.
I know. It’s lovely. It’s very strange. It’s very strange. I like that. I like looking at that. Mr. Duncan. I like seeing the footballers in their tights. I’m joking, I’m joking. I’m not young. Mr. Steve is giving slightly too much away. That I think maybe the his brain is starting to freeze.
I ought to wear white ones. Actually would be more revealing, wouldn’t it? I will always wear dark ones. You can’t see very much. I think you’re getting them confused. You ballet dancers. Yeah. Well, they have all that. Yeah. yes. it’s a posh place. I’ve heard of it in stand up comedy.
It’s a posh place. Now, if you say posh is a very common word to use. you’re posh just as even a mr. Steve knows. it’s gone now. okay. Just really my whole moment there. Mr. had a mr. Steve had giant drop of something on it. No, I could hardly operate my fingers.
This hand is almost enough. Almost. I’m having trouble, you know, when it gets so cold. The slightest, if you would. If I was to hit that now on a post, it would really hurt. Someone has asked if we can actually walk back home part the way back home. We could do.
We could do. Okay. The exciting and we’re going to do that. Mr. Duncan home. Ryan I’ve had enough. So I take my two. We take that. So we will walk part of the way back home. Not all of it. Didn’t you don’t want me to know where we live. You see, It’s private.
Private information. There it is. The sun for those winter in the sun is over this year, where it is, it’s hiding. Hiding behind the clouds. I will leave Mr. Steve in the distance. This is very strange. Never done this before. But walking and talking. Walking and talking to you.
So. Yes, well, we as well. I mean, you know it the hope. That’s why we might as well we might as well let people see what we’re doing. It’s not easy to do. By the way. Why don’t you just you could just take the phone out of the holder. I can’t. right. Okay.
Connect it to other things. You see, Steve Patrick is going to an organ concert. how interesting. You like you. Mr. Stephen likes organ concerts. Too tough in the house, says Patrick. Well, do you enjoy your organ concert? Whether it be playing Bach? Bach wrote a lot of organ music and so. Right.
Which is very, very nice, too. It is very Well, do enjoy it. Yes. Please tell us. Send us the itinerary. So this is very hard to send. Is the itinerary there? Steve, this is Dr. No, this is almost impossible to do, by the way.
I like to know what what was played in this organ concert. I’m worried about Mr. Steve having a heart attack. I’m going to have a heart attack. Well, a horrible thing to say. Those people. Carla says it’s posh. There are also plenty of students. University of Warwick. Well, what works?
Posh is a big castle at Warwick. Isn’t that Warwick Castle? Coventry’s Close Coventry is is not posh. Coventry is definitely not posh. there is a nice there is a nice medieval hotel in Coventry. I can’t remember the name of it. You need to go and visit that, car loss.
I can’t think of the name of it. That’s good. It’s like a medieval hotel. And you can go there and have a medieval meals and evenings. It’s. It’s very enjoyable. If I can think of the name of it, I tell you, it’s great. Maybe when we were enjoying that information.
Steve I think people coming, they’re walking this is not illegal. We’re not doing anything illegal. We go, thank you. Your paths to walk. Yes, you’re right. There are plenty of paths to walk on. So don’t worry about other people. Steve. I’m just looking. I’m just checking. You see, I think of the practicalities.
No, you do. I do. I’m thinking of the practicalities. The logistics, the dangers, the dangers. There’s no dangers here that could be dangerous. Any dangers here are us. Are the danger. No. Giovanni, Bravo. You know, we don’t mind your idea for us to walk and talk, although I can’t say I’m enjoying it.
But at least you’re. You’re going to keep warm. I’m not, because I’m having to handle this equipment. And can I just show you the ground? It’s very muddy. It is very muddy. It’s muddy and it’s getting cold. Yeah. They said that the cold wind was going to be coming in tonight.
It certainly is. And already here it’s it’s got cold since we it’s going to be minus three tonight, is it? And of course, a record viewers don’t know. Mr. Duncan bought me a thermometer that I can monitor all the temperatures outside. We’re on the wrong side of each other right? That’s better.
So I’ll be able to to watch in three different locations. The temperature in the house, outside the house, up in the loft. and that was a nice, quirky person putting on a nice Christmas present. Mr. Duncan bought me regular views of the scene that we showed our Christmas presents.
And, of course, I showed this one. please don’t slip says, God, this this is awful. Underfoot. Look, we’re working on the worst possible fire in your house. It’s about about a mile from here. I would say, I wish we could get to the Maldives as we test.
Would love to be there right now. Yes. This might well have to stop in a minute, because we have to go down a big hill. Yeah, So it might get a bit dangerous for Mr. Johnson, too. I don’t want people to know where we live. The signal is going as well.
Well, we’re not going to go all the way back. No signals from Britain, Duncan. Yes. I know it will. But because we’re moving. Okay, let’s send it here. Right. Thank you very much for watching. We’re going now because I’m up to freedom. Really. Kim Culver, Sydney. Sydney’s really cold.
