0:00.0	Good morning and welcome to the Independent Republic of Mike Graham right here on Talk TV.
0:05.4	Nicely warmed up by Kevin O'Sullivan after that 9.30 to 10 race through what's in the papers
0:09.9	and what news is coming up today.

1:09.4	I'm not one of those who worships the NHS. I'm not one of those
1:12.6	who says that it's one of the greatest things that the world has ever created, and I'm also not
1:16.6	going to be giving them the big hello today. What I am going to do is ask all of you to give us
1:21.6	your versions of your stories with the NHS, because we like to hear your stories, we like
1:26.7	to tell the powers that be what you really think.
1:29.5	So we want to know, we do this every now and again, but we haven't done it for a while.
