Hello, this is Joe. What you are about to listen to is something we call canal Thursdays.

Over the last couple of series, every now and then we've pretended we were buying a canal boat

and then we got some friends of ours to come on and pretend to be either selling it to us or cleaning it or

there's no other stuff really. They all played us, just the characters and we just sort of pretended we were, as I say, buying a canal boat.

And we just put them all out now so you can have a listen again for the first time.

Alright, hope you enjoy. Bye!

This week we're in

roughly and we're at the end of the drive of the owner of the narrow boat.

We did have a pop down the canal to have a look but we couldn't see it, could we?

No, I could. He lives quite near there.

Can you explain what his house looks like?

It's quite a bog standard, I feel rude saying it's quite a bog standard bungalow, isn't it?

It's got a nice drive. No one's no car on the drive.

No car on the drive, but it's a nice, you get quite a bit of a front garden around here, don't you?

Yeah.

How was your journey up to Rothley?

I just didn't like wearing the mask, having to wear the mask on the train. Did you drive up, didn't you?

Yeah, in the end I drove up.

No, I wish I had because I could have but Petra needed the car.

You're cool we're doing this joke?

No.

We got to keep doing that.
