| 0:11.1 | Hello. |
| 0:12.1 | Hello. |
| 0:12.9 | We are visualised on a Monday people now. |
| 0:15.6 | It's Monday visualising. |
| 0:16.8 | Yes, that's right. |
| 0:17.8 | So I put on a frock especially for this and then I slightly regretted it because although it really, really, really should be summer by now, Jane, across the United Kingdom, it's actually winter in our hearts and in our nether regions and I've been quite chilly again. |
| 0:34.2 | Not the return of winter vagina. I thought we'd knock that on the head. |
| 0:38.2 | It's back. No, it's just very cold. But it will be summery and sunny later in the week. You've just got to be patient.

And just in case people are wondering, they don't do that in it, Sue. They really don't. Imagine if they started. Just the outcry that they would be from today's snowflakes.
