Okay, folks, welcome to the latest edition of Life on Planet Porky, the podcast that takes you beyond the celestial, celestial barriers of Earth, I should say, and into a different stratosphere.

And once again, and I'm sure that Leslie Am will endorse this,

I want to thank you all for the fantastic feedback that we've been getting over the last

couple of podcasts. And we really mean it, I certainly really mean it when I say that,

you know, getting a response from you makes it all really worthwhile. Does it not Leslie Ann?

I have to say, every single time, every message, people taking the time to

contact us and say how much they're enjoying it, so, so grateful for that. Thank you.

Yeah, we are indeed. Now, coronavirus, of course, we can't be endlessly talking about that.

We don't want to, and that's why we try and take you elsewhere.

But I want to, you know, pat myself a little bit on the back here, Leslie,

and because I've had a campaign all the way through this to try and get the pubs open sooner rather than later,

but in as safe a fashion as possible.

Because though I don't want to cause people any harm or any trouble,

I do think that the English pub is so central to our way of life. I want it to be open. So I was

pretty pleased to have read over the last 36 hours headlines and stories on social media

that the government are now considering opening those pubs, perhaps in the second

or third week of June. I'm absolutely thrilled. I know you've got your doubts, but you can only

agree with me that the pubs have been the core of our business for a long, long time.

Of course they have. I still can't get my head around how we're going to stand at the bar and order

drinks. I know you say we can do it by app or we can queue. There's a one-way system in

and out, all of that. But where do you get the atmosphere from in those conditions?

Well, it's not necessarily just the atmosphere. I love the British pub. I love English pubs,
