Morning, everybody. Welcome along to your free podcast for today. It's the 16th of March, which is one day away from the 17th of March.

Guess whose birthday is tomorrow? Ruth Lansford. Ruth Lansford's birthday is tomorrow, apparently.

She's only 60. I'm a little bit past that one, but it doesn't matter. We're both celebrating's birthdays tomorrow, apparently. She's only 60.

I'm a little bit past that one, but it doesn't matter.

We're both celebrating our birthdays tomorrow in our own inimitable way.

Gowned up and with a mask on, I should imagine.

It'll be a fancy dress party.

Do you know, I went shopping yesterday, as I said on the programme, and I went to waitrose.

I've never seen so many people in there. However, that did not eclipse 8 o'clock in the morning. I finished doing the show here, go back to the car, go out on the

A4 or whatever it is, and a Hammersmith Bridge, I call normally into the garage there, so

nipped in, bought a few tins of beans, and then shot home. The co-op on the Richmond Road used to be a pub.

It's now been converted into a co-op store.

And I thought, I'll nip in there.

I'll get some of those Warburton things.

You put some meat.

I'll get some cooked beef.

And I'll have a beef, beef toasted this morning with a bit of cheese in it.

Yeah, lovely.

Go in it. Yeah, lovely. Go in there and there's a woman and she's picking up and she's holding things in her

arms. I thought, you know, why don't you just use a basket? And, um, and then all became apparent.

Not only was she holding all this food in her arms, all this uncooked meats and things like that.
