This edition of Neverstress Car was recorded shortly before we got wind of the shootings

in Copenhagen.

It's terrible news and a bitterly sad way to end three unforgettable days of the Tour de France

and our condolences and thoughts go out to all those affected.

We're in Billand at the moment waiting for a flight to Leal and I thought I knew something

about Lego but literally just a mini-tool surgo gentleman has just strode across the

terrace of an Italian restaurant where we've just had dinner to tell me about Lego and

not only that but I don't know the gentleman's name yet but what's your name?

My name is Jason.

Hello Jason and luckily I'm here in the same spot as you guys because I'm a product designer

for Lego Star Wars.

This is amazing.

Oh god.

This is absolutely unfortunate you crossed my path because I overheard you wondering what

the history of Lego was and if this is where it was graded and it's that's true and we

just recently celebrated our ninth year birthday.

Nineteenth.

So yeah it's a very long and rich history.

The plastic brick came about later on in the in the company's time in the later on in

the time originally it started off as wooden toys.

The original factory is just down the road and you can see some of the first moulding machines

through the windows.
