0:00.0 | Across the UK, online, on DAB and on your smart speaker, the Independent Republic of Mike Graham, on Talk Radio. |
0:13.8 | Good morning and welcome to the Independent Republic of Mike Graham right here on Talk Radio. |
0:21.9 | It's Happy St. George's Day to everybody. Today is the start of a brand new epoch and we are going to take stop. |
0:28.0 | More and more good news is on the way. We've just heard that Taylor Wimpy is going to be reopening all of their construction sites on May the 4th. |
0:34.3 | Nandoes have decided to reopen to provide food for NHS workers. Schools could be |
