| 0:00.0 | Imagine you, you in a nice comfy seat with your hands behind your head, taking in the views, |
| 0:09.6 | instead of taking on the road, maybe even taking a nap. That's the bliss of getting where you |
| 0:15.5 | need to go without worrying about driving. Book your train journey via avantiwascoast.co.uk |
| 0:23.0 | and we'll take you there. Avantiwascoast, feel good travel. |
| 0:30.5 | How do you always manage to wind me up before we start doing these things? |
| 0:38.7 | I honestly don't know where we're going to be. They're like being on your phone and not really |
| 0:41.6 | being present and then suddenly going, right, can we start? Was I like to warm up? |

| 1:25.2 | 83 and he's retired with his wine. He has a red and a white wine that he makes and he's |
| 1:29.5 | he sent us a bottle of it. Did he? Yeah. Was it nice? |
| 1:32.7 | Probably. He didn't touch the side. |
| 1:54.9 | Do you want to start? No. Well, we've got some things that we talked about that we might talk |
