This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation, Mystery Hour with James O'Brien.

Ooh, three minutes after 12 at times at time, and you are listening to James O'Brien on LBC,

where Mystery Hour is about to commence. Before it does, a quick tweet from Mary, James, she writes,

your show is like a warm, comforting hug every morning, so reassuring in these difficult times.

Thank you. And I would just take this opportunity to say that even if you have mistakenly

considered me to be your enemy over the last four years, the hugs are still here for you.

Okay? I mean it. I know it sounds a bit glib, but they really are. Anyway, let's crack on with mystery out your weekly

opportunity to achieve the sort of satisfaction, not ordinarily available anywhere else on your

radio dial. If you know how it works, book your berth on my switchboard now in the usual way. 034-5606-0-973. If you don't know how it works, book your birth on my switchboard now in the usual way.

034-5-606-0-973. If you don't know how it works, well, I'll probably take about 46 seconds of your time

to explain, but really, just experiencing it is the best lesson. As with so much in life.

So what happens is, right, pay attention.

People ring in with a question and then someone else rings in with an answer.

And that is Mystery Hour.

It's a little bit more complicated than that.

Don't ring in with questions that no one else is going to be interested in the answer to.

I know that's a little bit hard to police.

That's supposed to be our job.

But, you know, it's getting very bit hard to police. That's supposed to be our job, but, you know,

it's getting very late in the year.

We're putting quite a shift in 2020.

We're all getting a bit tired, especially Keith.
