| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the weekend edition of Not Another One. |
| 0:15.5 | And we have a very special edition for you today because we are going to answer listeners questions. So I'm here |
| 0:22.4 | with Steve Richards, Tim Montgomery, Ian Martin, and I am Miranda Green, and I always have done, |
| 0:29.0 | have been. Have you? Yeah. I'm really surprised. I know. I know. Well, we're all on a journey, |
| 0:35.7 | but not me. Anyway, so thank you so much to all of you |
| 0:40.8 | who did send questions, because we do really enjoy doing these, and we never get to all of them. |
| 0:46.3 | So just to apologize in advance, if your question's not picked, that's not because we're |
| 0:50.4 | discriminating in any way, knowingly or unknowingly. It's just that we haven't had time and we will try to come back to you. So what we're going to do is go round the team.

| 1:53.4 | I remember when I was a kid that the balance of trade would regularly need the news. |
| 1:59.6 | Isn't that interesting? |
| 2:01.6 | That's so true. |
