| 0:00.0 | It really is broken Britain. |
| 0:01.5 | That is when customers in waitros don't make sure that the handles are properly in their right place. |
| 0:09.3 | You know, we've gone to the dogs. |
| 0:11.6 | It is over for Britain. |
| 0:24.6 | It is content. It is content. We're missing out on content. In fact, that was great content. |
| 0:26.6 | No, well, you were just reminiscing about your nights at the limelight club. |
| 0:30.6 | Oh, no, stop. |
| 0:31.6 | No, no, because I wonder whether there might be some listeners out there who also enjoyed a night there. |
| 0:35.6 | But we were more importantly, we were talking about how when you and I first came to London, |
| 0:41.1 | you could drive around London really easily and you actually moved instead of being stuck in traffic. |
| 0:47.0 | And also there were loads of places where you could just park. |
| 0:49.7 | And to the young people now, the idea that you could just park without having to download just park and all of that, it just seems crazy, doesn't it? It was completely different driving conditions. I did, I'm certainly very top gear now, I don't really want to. I did have issues with the parking app on Friday, I think it was. Went to a friend's house and normally walk there, didn't, I can't remember why I didn't. And then I just couldn't. She had to pay my parking because she could use the app and they said my password was wrong and it wasn't. It's just so unrelacting, isn't it? Life is so unrelacting. But tech rage. What makes me relax though is a bath and some people agree. says dear all baths are essential for my mental health |
| 1:29.1 | just a shame they can't be deeper and also Julia I agree with Jane about baths in a bath you can listen to |
| 1:38.8 | music or a story you can listen to the rain outside yeah you ever thought about that you can daydream you can doze you shouldn't |
| 1:47.3 | doze should you not for long no no just a little bit of health and safety input there don't dose |
| 1:52.6 | and one crucial thing that you absolutely cannot do in a shower and i speak from bitter experience |
| 1:58.0 | having just returned from a holiday rental, which only had the |
| 2:01.0 | shower option, you cannot bath a baby. They don't understand showers at all. Water goes in their |
| 2:07.1 | eyes and the shower attendant, me in this case, gets a soaking. All houses need a bathtub, says |
| 2:14.1 | Julia. That is a very good point, Julia, and I hadn't thought about that in the houses that now don't have bars at all. What do you do with a baby? We used to love bath time. I had baths with my kids until they're about, I think, three or four, enormous fun times. Yeah. Well, I didn't get in usually. |
| 2:34.6 | What did I? I can't remember. It was always a big argument about the tap end and it's normally the elder child that gets to sit at the back, isn't it? Yeah. Well, you say that, but I don't remember my sister and I having that kind of a ding-dong. Maybe we took it in turns i don't know what's the month |
