| 0:00.0 | So I'd just like to inform the listeners, greetings and welcome that Rosie Eve and Jane have come in matching outfits today. |
| 0:16.2 | And I think not only are you all sporting these slightly kind of chunky knit cream jumpers |
| 0:22.5 | You've then all got jeans on |
| 0:25.0 | And then you've all got the Adidas trainer on as well |
| 0:28.5 | And it is comical, it is comical |
| 0:30.6 | Well, we've actually formed a band |
| 0:32.5 | I'm really sorry we didn't tell you |
| 0:34.7 | Got a recording tonight |
| 0:37.0 | We're on telly It's going to be great and we've been styled to look this way. I think it's a good look. It's an interesting look. It's fishermen's friends. It's quite... If I saw the three of you together on the tube, I wouldn't have thought you're coming to work. I'll just put it like that. Well, do you know, I had that thought myself. I did think, not when I saw the other |
| 0:58.3 | two, but when I was looking down at myself on the tube, there are some people still in business |
| 1:03.0 | attire, but the weather is slightly against us in the United Kingdom at the moment. It's just a |
| 1:07.9 | little parkey. It is a little parkey. And we should expect it, obviously. |
| 1:11.5 | And actually, it says it's glorious sunshine, certainly in London. There's nothing to complain about. But I will say... No, it was very, very slippy this morning. It was slippy, and trainers don't do the business on slippy pavements. You shouldn't be in trainers. It's a public service announcement. Well, it is. |
| 1:25.3 | Get your trainers off. |
| 1:26.0 | I've got my great big dog walking boots on. |
| 1:27.6 | I don't know why I didn't put my boots on today. |

| 1:44.2 | she very sweetly texted me and said, |
| 1:46.0 | Mum, be careful, because she knows up of a certain age. Well, it is. And my daughter, who has to leave very early to get her bus to school, |
| 1:46.0 | she very sweetly texted me and said, |
| 2:03.7 | Mum, be careful, because she knows something of a certain age, and my knees aren't what they used to be. Can I just say that's very sweet. My daughter also. It's lovely, isn't it? Take care. Yes. And she said, because I think she had almost gone ass over to it. So I said, okay, well, don't worry, I'll salt it, you know, before you get home from school. |
