Good morning. It's three minutes off. Do you hear what I just said there? I just said, good morning.

Do you know the conversation we were having off air just then? So I'm lucky enough that the chaps that

I encounter first as I come into the studio in the morning as they get it ready for broadcast,

are multilingual. Bob speaks Greek. Andrea speaks Spanish. Keith speaks Australian. And I just wondered

this morning whether, is there any other language where you drop the good on morning? So,

you know, the Australians still say gaudet. They haven't dropped it. They've abbreviated it to

good. But Greek people don't walk around and go, Mera, which just means morning. You say Cali Mera. Buenos Dias. No one goes, Diaz. The Irish go further. They add words. Top of the morning. Top of the morning too. Is there any other language where they just say morning? I tell you why, because as I walk up the corridor, old Allid Jones is on Classic of M this morning. I give him a little wave. So I go, morning, Allid!

And then Jenny Faulkner is on.

Morning, Jen.

But I don't say good morning.

Is English the only language where you drop the good?

Or are there, there must be other languages.

Do you think where you don't say good?

It's just the only, the few, the tiny.

French people don't go around and go, jean.

Sure, do they? Jean, mon ami. Jokie. I don't know. Anyway, that's how my mind works. I don't know why, but let's not overthink it. Water bills are likely to increase in bid to help clean up rivers. Just read you the headlines and then you'll get an idea of where we're going. There's plastic wet wipes ban planned in England to tackle pollution. And then Lord David of Attenborough, sorry, St David of Attenborough, has, given a very simple pithy quote that simply states that every river in England is polluted. How does this work for you? I'm going to come into this from a slightly different angle from usual, partly, and I'd already got this plan actually,

before I heard the little clip at the end of Nick's show there from the lady in Henley saying that she'd seen a tide mark of poo on a swan.

There are times, I think, where you have to slightly readjust your...

Or a tide mark on a swan. You have to readjust your radio.

Did I hear that correctly?

Hello?

Did I hear that correctly?
