Hello. Three minutes after at ten is the time. Very good morning to you. It's not just about the numbers, is it? It's about the impact as well. So, how much, realistically, how much time can I spend in the morning, moaning about not knowing what to talk about on the show? How about five minutes, do you think? Two, three? I can't go more than that, can I mean, how can you launch your phone in by moaning about not knowing what you're going to talk about when you come on air.

But I can't go more than that, can I? I mean, how can you launch your phone in by moaning about not knowing what you're going to talk about when you come on air?

But I don't think I need suggestions. I mention suggestions. I get like 40 messages saying, Ulez, all from the same person, which is not really helpful at all.

I know what I want to talk about today, but I need to explain why I want to talk

about it, particularly if you are not directly affected or you don't think you're directly affected

by the issue under discussion. So I shall explain why I'm talking about what I'm talking about

today by referring to something that I'm not talking about today. Keith, keep an eye on the clock,

mate. This is, this has got to be brought in on time.

If we were to return to the topic of childcare costs, which we're not going to do,

but if we were to return to that topic of childcare costs,

how do I guard against a switchboard full of people moaning about how expensive it is,

without really having anything different to say.

So you just move from one caller to another caller talking about how expensive it is.

Well, I can't guard against that unless I ask a slightly different question.

And the question I would have asked if I was talking about this topic

that I'm not actually going to be talking about today, the question I would have asked is whether or not it's ruining your life.

And what I mean by that, particularly for women, is that the decision to give up work, because child care costs are so expensive, and that would be the single most governing factor

in that decision now,

you're going to actually give up work

because you'd be running at a loss

if you were to pay for full-time childcare for your child.

That has ramifications that you will still be suffering from,
