This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation, Mystery Hour with James O'Brien.

Four minutes after 12 is the time. So here's how it works. You've got a little mystery,

a sweet little mystery perhaps, and you know that there must be an answer to it. And yes, yes,

yes, we live in a world

of search engines and instant gratification so you could almost certainly find out the answer to

your mystery in a matter of moment but we cling to the old order on this program in fact as

down in St Auburn suggested an answer to the question I was asking in the last hour it can perhaps

be the pace of change that most discombobulates people. But this is a resistance to the pace of change.

This is a sort of peon to old values in the old order where you couldn't really find stuff out

unless you went to the library. Remember libraries kids? You couldn't really know stuff out unless you went to the library. Remember libraries, kids?

You couldn't really know stuff unless you dug out the knowledge that bestowed what it was

you needed to know. Now you can Google it and get the answer in a nanosecond. So if you've got a mystery,

you're not allowed to look up the answer. You have to ring up the radio. And after you've asked the question on it, hopefully somebody will pop up who can provide the answer.

That's why I inquire after qualifications.

And again, it's something I occasionally need to clarify.

If you answer a question on mystery out and I say, what are your qualifications?

Do not list your qualifications at that point.

Like, you know, Bagger Gymnastics Award 4, for, cycling proficiency at Stourport Police Station in 1983.

Got a degree.

4A levels, couple of GCSE, whatever.

I just mean, how do you know that thing what you just told us what you know?

So your qualification might be that you were watching telly last night.
