I know queuing up, and I suddenly remembered actually, because I thought, oh, it's because, you know, we're running out of lettuces.

1:44.8

Well, we're not. We're not. We're not running out of lettuces or cauliflower or any of the other baloney you're being fed by the media. I know that because I was in Paul Cooper's shop yesterday. I said, you know, is there a shortage of lettuces? He went, look, they're up to the ceiling with lettuces. Okay, so is there a shortage of cauliflower? No, loads of cauliflower.

2:30.3

There's also a couple of florists which they're using.

2:35.7

But unfortunately, you can't go to the funeral because they're limited to, I think, 30 there's going to be loads of people it's been absolutely a nightmare for him to try and wiggle down
