0:15.3	I'm Georgie Frost here every weekday from 9 until 1 with my producer Annie Weston on digital online and through the share radio mobile at making that pound in your pocket go a little bit further now.
0:27.1	This is the time of the week where we welcome the team from This Is Money, the award-winning financial website and money section of the mail online live into the studio's editor Simon Labbert, and journalist Lee Boyce

0:49.7	London Council's charging residence diesel tax on the very same cars that only a few years back
0:54.9	it was actually encouraging them to buy. And staying with a motoring theme, do you remember this? How's larder doing, by the way? You basically pretty much can't buy a larder nowadays.

2:12.7	is a series from the 90s that was on the BBC.
2:16.9	It was set in the Costa del Sol.
2:19.0	It was incredible.
2:19.9	It was called Eldorado.
2:21.6	If only...
2:22.2	Oh, I absolutely loved El Dorado.
2:25.2	If only there was a video camera in here, Lee's face when you said that.
