0:30.0

I'm very good, Ed, are we?

0:31.0

Yeah, pretty good. I'm glad the heat wave is cooled down, the two day heat wave.

0:35.3

Everyone melted for two days and now we've gone back to normal.

0:38.1

Some of the time, British weather. Yeah, I was one of those who bought a fan.

0:44.0

I had a fan, but it's been in storage because we haven't had heat for so long that had a massive accumulation of dust on it and I was like I'm not even dealing with that so I went and got a fan I didn't really use it in the end because you know when you put on a fan and it gets hot anyway do you know what I mean the the fan itself gets on and I thought I'm not even
