0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another edition of Not Another One.
0:14.9	And today I'm joined in the studio by Miranda Green and Ian Martin. And down the line from
0:20.5	Cornwall, we have Steve Richards. Hello, Steve. Hi, Martin. And down the line from Cornwall we have Steve Richards.
0:22.3	Hello Steve. Hi everyone. Is the sun shining on you in Cornwall? The sun is shining every now and again.
0:29.4	I look to be back in the studio with you next week. And one of the things we like to do next week before I introduce today's topic is we'd like to sort of have a special edition where we answer some of your questions.
