| 0:00.0 | Now time to thank our partner of this episode, Amazon. Have you noticed recently how Amazon |
| 0:04.6 | orders are arriving on your doorstep with less packaging? While some items are delivered with no |
| 0:09.4 | added packaging at all, just in their original box. That's because Amazon are always looking |
| 0:14.6 | at ways to reduce packaging and prioritize recyclable materials, which can mean adding no extra |

Retail customers only, tis and see supply. Visit honda.com.uk or your local Honda retailer. Good morning. It's three minutes after 10. You't listening to LBC. I think my favourite bit. |

Well, good. Young man like that. It's time he earned his spurs. I'd have done that back in the day. Lewis Goodall? Did Lewis do it? Was Lewis up for the count? |
| 1:46.4 | I think I may have seen a little post on social saying that he was for once going to |
| 1:50.2 | actually turn in. I understand the sense of excitement that accompanies these things. |
| 1:54.1 | But unless you're in the room where it happens, it's not very easily communicable, is it? |
| 1:58.7 | But the one thing I really took away from it, this result in Gorton and Denton in Manchester, |
| 2:05.3 | is the wonderful acceptance speech by the successful candidate who is a plumber. |
| 2:10.6 | And I don't know whether you know this. |
