Hello and welcome to the Europeans.

Yeah, welcome.

Hey, Katie, we have to be more cheery this week.

Yeah, but I'm really hung over, Dominic. I had gin and tonics in cans on the train because I'm in

England and that's what people do in England. Isn't that exactly the thing that Diane Abbott got in

trouble for doing? That's exactly what it was. I think it was a tinned mehito, actually.

But in my kitchen and tonics, I think that's the most English thing you can do.

Is it actually illegal, though? Hang on a second. Is train, booze illegal UK?

You can drink and or buy alcohol on most trains in England and Wales, says the Sun newspaper.

I think the problem with Shadow Home Secretary, Diane Abbott, was that she was on the London underground and you are not allowed to drink on the London Underground.

Yeah, thanks Boris.

Anyway, we are promising a slightly more cheery tone this week because last week was quite gloomy and we did get a bit of feedback

from people saying even Good Week and even happy ending were gloomy, both of which were my fault.

Do better.

I think we will do better.

We're going to do better with Good Week by week anyway, but serious things are happening in the continent.

So actually our interview this week is again not

the brightest of topics, but it is about trees. And everyone loves trees. Everyone does love

trees. There's one guy that particularly loves trees in Romania and he's doing amazing work to

try and protect the trees from loggers. So we're going to be speaking to Gabby Pound later in the show.

But why were you drinking gin and tonics on the train last night, Katie? Because I was on my way to

Northampton in sort of central-ish England to watch the first night of the debut stage musical
