| 0:00.0 | This is a download from LBC, Steve Allen's Little Bit Extra. |
| 0:06.0 | Morning everybody, welcome along. Tuesday, 17th and April heat wave. Well, I don't know if it's a heat wave or not. |
| 0:11.9 | Yesterday was all right. I did start to do the pots. I did start to empty the pots. So I felt quite good. |
| 0:17.9 | I filled up a huge bin liner full of earth, dragged it downstairs, managed to get it |
| 0:22.7 | into the bin, so that was quite good. And then today I shall take some more out, but we've got |
| 0:25.8 | people around for carpeting and all the rest of it. Anyway, yes, that case. That case appeared in court |
| 0:31.2 | the other day, and this is Aunt McPartland, who was twice the legal limit. Now, whichever, you know, where you look at it, you can't make |
| 0:38.8 | light of it. The courts didn't make light of it. And that's where they find him, 86,000 pounds. And you |
| 0:44.9 | might be going, but I thought it'd be like a couple of hundred quid and something else. No, it's based |
| 0:49.2 | on your earnings. He earns 130,000 pounds a week. So in other words, that's for, that's about $5,000 a month. |
| 1:00.0 | Five thousand, no, it can't be right, can it? What am I talking about? That's getting on for half a million a month. |
| 1:05.7 | Half a million pounds a month. So, blimey. Huge amount of money. So I don't feel any sympathy, I'm afraid, because it was just by a sheer act of God and the hand coming down there because he could have actually killed himself and he could have killed somebody else. There's a boy who was making various comments after Ant smashed into his parents car. Eighty-six thousand |
| 1:28.9 | him will be nothing. It's nothing at all. You just write a checkout or your transit. I don't |
| 1:32.6 | know how it works. Where does the money go to? That's what I want. And I'm curious. So, |
| 1:36.3 | they just go into court coffers or something. They all go out for a bit of an old, you know, |
| 1:39.8 | sandwiches and a boozy party or something. I don't know where he goes to. Eighty-six thousand pounds. |
| 1:45.5 | You know, it seems a lot to you and I. In fact, it seems a fortune to you and I. But when he |
| 1:49.2 | consider what he's earning, it's, it's peanuts. It's just, it's about two or three days money. |
| 1:54.3 | That's all it is. So not really a deterrent at all. And then, of course, the hilarious bit, if you could find a hilarious bit in it, as there's the reporter for BBC News. |
| 2:04.9 | I'm not sure whether they had prior knowledge of this, you know, whether they got the helicopter up to make sure that it was all fine. |
| 2:09.9 | But she's standing there doing her bit and then a car crashes into another one right behind her. |
