0:12.0	I'm Georgie Frost here every weekday from 9 until one with my producer Annie Weston on digital online and through the Share Radio mobile app making the pound in your pocket go a little bit further.
0:22.6	This is the time of the week where we welcome the team from This is Money,
0:25.6	the award-winning financial website and money section of the mail online into the studios.
0:30.7	Editor Simon Lambert is here today with journalist Ed Monk and Rich Browning in the studios for their weekly catch-up
0:36.2	and will be running through the stories that they've been investigating this week, including the Futsi may have been partying recently like it's 1999, but should we be at the news?
0:47.1	Mind the generation gap, homeowners fall to the lowest level for 29 years as high prices are apparently locking out young people, the latest car scam
0:55.7	doing the round, and are we seeing a golden era for independent shops? Plus, we're asking today,
1:02.2	as new research shows that forget about flirting in pubs and nightclubs, the best place to pull
1:07.0	is at the gym, apparently. We want to know where did you meet your other half? Orr as we're

1:29.8	So we haven't been together since then, but we were a part of a group of friends,
1:34.2	probably most likely on a bus to school or something like that.
1:36.8	How sweet is that? Mr. Monk?
1:40.0	Well, sadly, I'm going to have to go on past experience here.
1:42.8	In a pub, actually.
1:44.1	Technically in a pub, but it was mates of mates, so that's not very exciting, is it? It's not at the gym, is it? Rich? Oh, well, I was working in France as a ship's agent. My knowledge of what I was doing and the language was somewhat nil, and every mistake cost the company of fortune, and the cost controller used to come down and got to know each other quite well and that was 25 years ago.
2:04.2	Well do keep them coming in. Annie, how can people get in contact and also if they've got something that they want the This is Money team to investigate?
