Hello, it's Monday afternoon and I've just popped across the river Thames from our

office in Westminster to St Thomas's Hospital where there are two walk-in vaccination

centres in two marquees and it means there are two very long cues snaking around the

building along the river for a little bit, round some corners a bit back in themselves

and yeah there are a lot of people here, clearly heeding Boris Johnson's call to get boosted

now, willing to wait quite a long time to get boosted. It's all very calm though, no

I grow, everyone's waiting very patiently, it's not as cold as it has been in the last

week or so and it's not raining so it's actually not that unpleasant, people have got some

takeaway coffees, see a few books, e-readers, should we go and speak to some people, hopefully

we'll find some newscasters. How long have you guys been waiting?

Two hours, two hours. Yeah. What you've been doing to pass the time?

Working, they think I'm working. So actually you're doing some remote working in the queue,

that's impressive. Everyone's very understanding about us having the boosted us, so.

Did you watch Boris Johnson last night after Strictly?

I didn't, I knew what he was saying, so we're not here for that reason but I thought

better get it done quicker. How's it going? How's life in the queue?

Not too boring? Well you know, so I got to get around to doing so yeah, I want to see

my mum for Christmas and she's had chemo twice and she's a bone marrow transplant so

she's like vulnerable and if this helps and you know if I can wait for a few hours and

she's gone through all that. Was it Boris Johnson that inspired you to come this morning

or? Very much not. Yes, yes, I love your podcast by the way.
