Steve Allen's Little Bit Extra.

Morning everybody, welcome along to your Tuesday, the 22nd of December.

Free little bit extra podcast and how nice it is to be with you and how miserable the weather is.

And of course, as I said at the beginning of the program earlier on, what are we all going to be short of?

Mars and Spencer's open at 7.30 around my way.

There were queues outside the butcher shop.

There was a tidley queue outside of Iceland.

Because they've got loads, it's all frozen.

It's all frozen. You might as well buy frozen veg if you're going to have people over for Christmas.

Corey, my producer, managed to secure a turkey.

So him and his girlfriend have turkey for Christmas lunch.

And so they're all sorted out.

And a lot of other people who go, I can't get a turkey.

Even the local butcher's in Twickenham is saying, you know, get this while it's in stock.

We're not sure, you know, whether or not we're going to run out of things.

It's a bit embarrassing, isn't it really?
