0:00.0 | They did it again. Flower, instead of flowers, on my birthday. And 95 minutes late, but it's hard to leave when you've shared so much. Your postcode, your gluten intolerance. Then I saw it. 25% off your first Akado shop, plus free delivery. And I just knew I'd found the online supermarket of my dreams. |
0:21.8 | Arcado, life delivered. |
0:23.5 | Geographical restrictions, mined spend 60 pounds and charges apply. |
0:26.7 | Max saving 20 pounds, new customers only, terms at Accardo.com. |
0:31.7 | This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation with James O'Brien. |
0:44.3 | Hello, it's three minutes after ten, and I've just realised something appalling that I've done over the last few weeks. |
0:50.1 | I haven't said thank you to Royston and Andrea, who come in like ninjas to fumigate the studio in the |
0:58.0 | mornings and do so with such speed, alacrity and thoroughness that you'll be delighted to here. I am |
1:03.9 | bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and here to entertain and keep you company until one o'clock once again. |
1:10.0 | And today we cut it quite fine, |
1:11.9 | which is why it is still very much in the forefront of my mind to, to thank them properly for the |
1:17.0 | fantastic work that they do for all of us every single day. It's, it's weird being on the, on the |

And I just said, I just said, thank you, you didn't hear, did you? I just, yes. So Royston and Andrew, have we got Jones the engineer's in the chair today, so we'll see whether or not he's still got the skills that he used to have back in the day. Have we got the round of applause? Andy Jones, are you going to be able to wrestle that up? Well, Keith Lomb, there we go. Thank you, boy. Seriously, I wouldn't be able to do any of this without you. And imagine the hole that would be left in the lives of listeners if we weren't here. Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at 10 o'clock every morning. So, so thanks, thanks, lads. Four minutes |
2:02.5 | after 10 is the time and it is once again, I do not thought. If I'd said to you three years ago, |
2:09.7 | oh, James will be doing his third show in a row about controlling our borders. You'd have thought |
2:14.1 | you'd misheard. You'd have thought it'd be one of those sort of dodgy geysers who, |
2:19.3 | sadly are no longer here to delight us with their pontifications |
2:22.3 | that would be obsessing about control. |
2:24.3 | And the Labour Party are insisting that the Conservative Party do more to control our borders. |
2:28.3 | The difference being, of course, that in the context of the coronavirus, |
