| 0:00.0 | Brian. Three minutes after ten is the time. A very good morning indeed to you. If you're not breaking up today, if you're working tomorrow and indeed over the entire weekend, there's a slim chance I might get on your nerves even more than usual between now 1 o'clock. I am feeling a little bit. We break up, we break down, we don't care if school falls down. No more English, no more French, no more sitting on the old school bench. But only a little bit, because there is very important, or there are very important |
| 0:24.9 | issues to get through. I think we'll wade straight back in. I think we got it right yesterday. |
| 0:28.8 | It was an idea of unparalleled genius to focus yesterday's conversation about events in the |
| 0:33.9 | capital on callers from outside the capital. I wasn't expecting to have |
| 0:37.8 | quite the international flavour that we enjoyed, but it did remind us that this is a global |
| 0:42.9 | issue rather than simply a traffic. You've got Joanne Webb in the travel centre. This |

| 1:35.3 | on the question of some of the responses to the protest |
| 1:38.3 | because it is really annoying. I'm not going to lie to you. |
| 1:40.3 | You sit in the back of the car. |
| 1:42.3 | I had to lose 80% of the audience. It's in the what of the car, the back of the car, yeah, the back of the car. I had to lose 80% of the audience. |
| 1:45.5 | Sitting the what of the car, the back of the car, yeah, the back of the car. |
| 1:48.8 | Sitting in the back of the car and, you know, the drinks cabinet can only keep your |
