Hello and welcome back to another episode here at the Damage Report. But here is slightly different.

0:11.6

What's not different is that it's Monday and that means we've got Francesca.

0:15.8

Francesca Fearntini has a go on.

0:18.4

We're still here. I haven't moved, you've moved.

0:22.2

You looked, I mean, you have a different background.

0:24.6
