And now the weather. Scattered showers will give way to more scattered showers, but there may be a period in between where it's just grey.

It's always grey, isn't it? That's why I travel with Monzo. I can use my card to spend abroad with no fees, so I can plonk myself on a beach far away from grey and spend with my Monzo card like I never left home. Hello,

C supply. This is a download from LBC. Steve Allen's Little Bit Extra. Morning everybody. Blahmy, was it hot yesterday? Goodness gracious me. I mean, I was the only one on my bus, typical Steve Allen, with a coat on. Everybody else, T-shirts, open-neck shirts, me, coat, done up for like I was going off to the Antarctic. But it was okay. I didn't have a problem with that.

0:57.9

I was well prepared for somebody to say something to me, in which case I could then retort,

1:01.7

well, if you got up at the time in the morning that I got up and did what I do for a living,

1:07.0

you'd be wearing a blooming coat as well. Anyway, so I got home and planted up, did me bits and pieces. God, it was hot when I went out. And we've had dreadful roadworks in Twickenham,

1:08.5

Thames Water, digging up the road and standing around, looking into a hole. I mean, that's what they do nowadays. I mean, God knows. I mean, they actually did it on rugby day. How intelligent is that? You know, you've got 80,000 fans in for the army and navy. I mean, they don't know what, you know, they just fall in these places.

1:09.6

I mean, what they should do is fall in.

1:10.9

We should brick it over very quickly.

1:27.9

But they did it then. 80,000 fans in for the army and navy. I mean, they don't know what, you know, they just fall in these places.

1:24.8

I mean, what they should do is fall in, we should brick it over very quickly. But they did it then, and it caused chaos. Yesterday, eventually people were just saying to the bus driver, can open the doors, let us off. It's easy. It was quicker for me to walk than it was to actually sit on the bus with me little plant pots.

1:26.3

But anyway, nice to be company.

1:28.1

And so today, who have we got?

2:02.6

Taylor Swift has posted an apology letter from Katie Perry, where the Raw Singer says she's deeply sorry. They've had a six-year feud. Well, I didn't know that. Do we know they had a six-year... Oh, we knew that. Oh, right, okay. But so Katie Perry and Taylor Swift. I suppose Katie Perry, because she's had a failed marriage,

2:07.9

and she's probably jealous of, uh, of Taylor Swift, but they so, they do these things. And as you get older, you kind of realize that feuds are a bit stupid. Because when somebody says, so, uh, so what did

2:14.2

you, what did you row about? And you go, um, I can't remember. Because you can't. It was very interesting because I was talking to somebody the other day about Dale, as I'm prone to do. And it was interesting because Dale could be very good, the same as all of us can, you know, in that circle of friends, where you might not speak to somebody for six months, but then when they pick up the phone, you're back where you started six months ago, you kind of pick up the conversation, you know, and it was, I remember he phoned me at three in the morning one time, and because we had a row over, I can't remember, but it was actually, nothing to do with do with me, but he'd obviously sort of felt a bit hurt by something. And, um, and he phoned up and he said,

2:57.1

I'm really sorry. He said, I'm really sorry. Well, the usual thing is Steve, it's Dale. And I go,

3:03.4

because we just picked up where we left off again. Nobody ever understands a friendship that goes

3:08.3

back 46 years. You cannot erase 46 years of knowing somebody. And I spoke to a friend of

3:13.8

ours last night and she said, out of all the people who should be there at his memorial
