12
54754

56623
3053
00:59
Are you okay?
14
59709
1285
01:00
I hope so. Are you happy?
15
60994

01:03
That is the big question.
16
63947

17
65715
1852
01:07

18
67567
1835
01:09
I'm having a lovely time here in Much Wenlock.
19
69402
2703
01:12
I'm walking around the town and.
20
72105
2035
01:14
Yes, we have sunshine. Can you believe it?
21
74140
3003
01:17
After two days of terrible weather, we now actually have beautiful sunshine.
22
77377
6189
01:23
And it's very warm, in fact.
23
83566
1802
01:25
In fact, in fact. In fact.
24
85368
2986
01:28
Let me tell you now, today it is almost 20 degrees,
25
88488
5639
01:34
which is quite hot when you think about it.
26
94210
3370
01:37
For England, it's very hot, in fact.
27
97664
2702
01:40
So, hello, everyone.
28
100366
1102
01:41
Nice to see you. Life.
29
101468
1301
01:42
I wonder who is on at the moment.
30
102769
3437
01:46
Hello, Claudia.
31
106222
1552
01:47
Hello, Claudia.
32
107774
1134
01:48
What is cooking in your pot today?
33
108908
2920
01:51
What's cooking, Claudia?
34
111828
1585
01:53
What have you got in your pot?
35
113413
1835
01:55
What's cooking, Claudia?
36
115248
1969
01:57
Is it something spicy and hot?
37
117217
2469
01:59
Is it something salty or not?
38
119686
2452
02:02
Claudia, what is in your past?
39
122138
2619
02:04
Hello, Claudia. Nice to see you here.
40
124757
2603
02:07
Live from
41
127360
2820
02:10
much Wenlock.
42
130180
1234
02:11
A lot of people ask about this place.
43
131414
2069
02:13
They say, Mr. Duncan, what is much Wenlock like?
44
133483
3003
02:16
Well, as you can see behind me at the moment, we have the rush hour.
45
136603
5922
02:22
This is the busiest time here in much Wenlock.
46
142609
3136
02:25
There are at least five people
47
145778
3437
02:29
walking around the town square at the moment.
48
149299
3169
02:32
That's how busy it is.
49
152485
1719
02:34
So this is the rush hour. As you can see.
50
154204
3003
02:37
It's so chaotic.
51
157423
2069
02:39
There are so many things going on.
52
159492
2986
02:42
I know it's
53
162545
1151
02:43
Wednesday afternoon, of course, here in much Wenlock.
54
163696
3287
02:46
Many of the shops close early.
55
166983
3003
02:50
It is a tradition dating back to 1973
56
170103
4304
02:54
when all of the shops were closed.
57
174490
2887
02:57
They would pull down their shutters, they would lock their doors
58
177377
3570
03:01
and they would have the afternoon off, which I think is a good idea really,
59
181030
4505
03:05
when you think about it, it's a bit like what I do, except for
60
185535
4688
03:10
I have every day off.
61
190306
2987
03:13
So there you go.
62
193359
818
03:14
Claudia
63
194177
1952
03:16
is having what are you making today?
64
196129
2903
03:19
Please tell me, Claudia.
65
199032
1768
03:20
Oh, it looks as if Claudia is making something with spinach.
66
200800
5005
03:25
I have to say, I do like spinach.
67
205805
2669
03:28
Sometimes when I have my vegetable smoothies, I often cooked spinach.
68
208474
4955
03:33
Raw spinach into my smoothies because apparently it contains
69
213496
5305
03:38
lots of important vitamins and minerals.
70
218801
3971
03:42
And of course, it is green as well.
71
222855
2570
03:45
And I like the colour green.
72
225425
2552
03:47
Hello also to Oh, Lewis Mendez is here today.
73
227977
5289

1501
03:59
Hello, Vitesse, Lithuania.
78
239255
2803
04:02

1418
04:17
Hello, Pedro. Nice to see you here as well.
86
257807
2186
04:19
Yes, I am live for those wondering,
87
259993
3003
04:23
it is now 2:23 o'clock here in the UK, England.
88
263029
7591
04:30
We also have Gilberto.
89
270703
2436
04:33
Oh, Gilberto Zamora.
90
273139
2636
04:35
I don't recognise your name.
91
275775
2486
04:38
Where are you from?
92
278261
2135
04:40
Please let me know.
93
280396
2453
04:42
We have Vietnam watching. Hello, Vietnam.
94
282849
2702
04:45
A big hello Ching.
95
285551
1802
04:47
Ciao to you watching in Vietnam.
96
287353
3871
04:51
Very nice to see you here.
97
291257
1402
04:52
So that would be new Yale.
98
292659
3003
04:55
Nouriel, nice to see you here.
99
295678
3270
04:59
We also have
100
299015
2853
05:01
I Noor as well.
101
301868
2018
05:03
Where are you watching?
102
303886
1051
05:04
I have a feeling we might have some new viewers today.
103
304937
3571
05:08
I have noticed over the past few days we do have a lot of new viewers
104
308591
3787
05:12
joining us on a live stream.
105
312462
4004
05:16
And yes, I am live right now.
106
316532
2470
05:19
This is the place where I live.
107
319002
1985
05:20
It is the beautiful town
108
320987
2986
05:24
of much Wenlock, dare I say.
109
324123
4488
05:28
It's historic.
110
328695
1918
05:30
Oh, lots of things happened here.
111
330613
3637
05:34
Lots of monks used to run around
112
334334
3186
05:37
in the classics all over the place, around this area.
113
337603
4088
05:41
And more recently, the modern Olympic Games
114
341774
5189
05:47
were actually inspired, tired by this actual place.
115
347046
5089
05:52
And every year the original Olympic Games
116
352218
3804
05:56
that occurred here in much Wenlock takes place as well.
117
356022
4504
06:00
So this place was the inspiration for what we now have
118
360610
4337
06:05
or what we now call the modern Olympic Games.
119
365014
4605
06:09
And that is not good.
120
369702
1702
06:11
Getting lots of information today.
121
371404
2469
06:13
By the way, has anyone seen the new iPhone?
122
373873
3754
06:17
Now I am using my iPhone at the moment.
123
377710
3487
06:21
This is my iPhone 13.
124
381247
2820
06:24
It's a very old phone.
125
384067
1534
06:25
It's two years old.
126
385601
2486
06:28
And as you know, in smartphone
127
388087
3787
06:31
years, two years is a very long time.
128
391874
4104
06:36
It's almost a century.
129
396045
2619
06:38
So my phone now is a little bit out of date.
130
398748
2986
06:41
But has anyone has anyone seen the new iPhone
131
401918
3904
06:45
iPhone 15 oh, and the the bigger version,
132
405822
4621
06:50
the posh version is made of titanium.
133
410643
3670
06:54
It's not amazing.
134
414397
1501
06:55
I'm so glad that they've made the iPhone out of titanium.
135
415898
4939
07:00
I don't know why they have properly because it is very light,
136
420903
5356
07:06
so lightweight, so maybe the big iPhones are just too heavy.
137
426342
5889
07:12
Perhaps that might be the reason
138
432315
3854
07:16
Claudia is always cooking.
139
436235
2136
07:18
Yes, I know.
140
438371
834
07:19
I've noticed that you are always cooking.
141
439205
3470
07:22
Hello to a rose.
142
442758
2370
07:25
Who says you are not very far away from me?
143
445128
3520
07:28
I am watching in Chester.
144
448714
2953
07:31
Well, I know Chester very well because I have some friends who live near Chester.
145
451667
5372
07:37
So. Yes, quite often we.
146
457123
1585
07:38
We go up to Chester, a place called Mould.
147
458708
6223
07:45
Honestly, there is actually a place called Mould,
148
465014
5923
07:51
although the spelling is different
149
471003
2236
07:53
from the the smelly old cheese.
150
473239
3787
07:57
Hello.
151
477093
367
07:57
Also to who else is here?
152
477460
3754
08:01
Please excuse me if I have difficulty
153
481297
2252
08:03
reading the screen because it's very tiny.
154
483549
3003
08:06
Because I only have a tiny iPhone.
155
486752
2803
08:09
My iPhone is not very big.
156
489555
2519
08:12
It's not one of the big posh ones you see.
157
492074
2520
08:14
Unfortunately, as I mentioned at the start of today's livestream,
158
494594
4220
08:18
there is a lot of building work taking place.
159
498814
3003
08:21
You will notice there is some construction taking place this year.
160
501817
4588
08:26
I don't know why, but this year a lot of building
161
506405
4088
08:30
work has been taking place here in much Wenlock, not only
162
510493
5255
08:35
to the streets but also to the buildings as well.
163
515831
3237
08:39
So it's all going on here.
164
519068
2486
08:41
As you know, I was in London about four weeks ago
165
521554
4154
08:45
talking about the sites and letting you hear the sounds of the capital.
166
525791
5923
08:51
And I did notice that in London there is also a lot of renovation
167
531797
4038
08:55
work taking place on many of the
168
535835
3003
08:58
famous landmarks as well.
169
538838
4938
09:03
So I think
170
543843
600
09:04
everywhere at the moment, a lot of people are doing things.
171
544443
3604
09:08
They are working hard.
172
548047
5138
09:13
Oh, it looks like Claudia is making cannelloni.
173
553269
4488
09:17
Cannelloni? Isn't that Italian?
174
557823
2820
09:20
I think it is, isn't it?
175
560643
4671
09:25
A rose says who is Mr.
176
565398
2836
09:28
Steve? Well, Mr.
177
568234
1918
09:30
Steve is my partner in crime, you might say, is not here
178
570152
5473
09:35
today, though, because he's busy working.
179
575625
5071
09:40
When I say working,
180
580780
2185
09:42
I mean
181
582965
3437
09:46
doing a little bit of work.
182
586485
2453
09:48
As I often say to Mr.
183
588938
1268
09:50
Steve, what are you doing?
184
590206
1952
09:52
Are you working hard or hardly working?
185
592158
4588
09:56
Quite often it is the latter.
186
596829
3003
09:59
Hello.
187
599832
334
10:00
Also to Tan Naidu.
188
600166
3336
10:03
Hello to you as well.
189
603586
1435
10:05
I believe you are watching in Vietnam. Is that true?
190
605021
3603
10:08
Are you now in Vietnam?
191
608658
2185
10:10
Interestingly.
192
610843
1552
10:12
Very nice.
193
612395
1501
10:13
By the way, I've put a new lesson on today.
194
613896
2436
10:16
Did you see my new lesson all about
195
616332
3820
10:20
creativity being creative?
196
620236
3003
10:23
One of the hardest parts of being creative is coming up with new ideas.
197
623255
4755
10:28
So the lesson that I posted today
198
628094
2636
10:30
is all about that particular subject.
199
630730
2936
10:33
It is all about creative liberty.
200
633666
3003
10:36
How to find inspiration
201
636669
3787
10:40
for your creative endeavour.
202
640539
4755
10:45
Some interesting words today, by the way.
203

204
648314
4504
10:52
at the moment as we are broadcasting life
205
652902
3353
10:56
on my little old smartphone.
206
656255
3937
11:00
Unfortunately, there are no captions.
207
660276
3003
11:03
But later on, if you watched this again,
208
663279
3186
11:06
there will be captions, so don't worry too much about it.
209
666549
4504
11:11
So if you can't see captions at the moment, don't worry, there will be captions later on
210
671137
4838
11:16
when this is recorded
211
676175
2886
11:19
and re published on YouTube, so don't worry too much about it.
212
679061
6874
11:26
So for those wondering why much Wenlock is so quiet at the moment, there is a reason for it.
213
686018
5556
11:31
It is Wednesday afternoon and as I mentioned,
214
691657
3587
11:35
a lot of the shops close early.
215
695327
3220
11:38
Now I am wondering if you have a similar thing in your country.
216
698614
4221
11:42
So what about in your country?
217
702918
1702
11:44
Do you ever find that the shops
218
704620
3353
11:48
will close early on a certain day?
219
708124
3320
11:51
So that is what we
220
711527
4388
11:55
often do.
221
715998
1735
11:57
It is a tradition going back many years.
222
717733
3003
12:00
Can we have a look at the mini coffee shop, please,
223
720786
2770
12:03
If you don't mind the mini coffee shop.
224
723556
3787
12:07
Which one do you mean?
225
727426
1618
12:09
Well, there is a coffee shop just behind me over there.
226
729044
5022
12:14
So there is a there is a coffee shop just there.
227
734133
4721
12:18
Do you mean.
228
738938
867
12:19
Do you mean that coffee shop?
229
739805
2219
12:22
So that is a coffee shop.
230
742024
1952
12:23
That is called the old Wenlock Smoothie.
231
743976
5289
12:29
And they do lots of delicious food there,
232
749348
2035
12:31
including ice cream.
233
751383
4255
12:35
I tell you something,
234
755704
2670
12:38
I could really go for an ice cream at the moment
235
758374
4688
12:43
because I did walk into town from my house and that takes half an hour.
236
763062
5288
12:48
So I have already had a very long walk before coming here into much Wenlock.
237
768434
5622
12:54
So you might notice not many people around today, but that's all right.
238
774123
3970
12:58
That's all right.
239
778177
1018
12:59
You have me here to keep you company
240
779195
3587
13:02
on this lovely Wednesday day.
241
782865
2786
13:05
And it is a very nice day indeed.
242
785651
4454
13:10
So what about you?
243
790189
951
13:11
Do you ever have certain days of the week
244
791140
3120
13:14
where shops will close?
245
794260
5739
13:20
Do you know?
246
800082
2152
13:22
Hello, Mr.
247
802234
517
13:22
Duncan, Can you please read my name?
248
802751
2737
13:25
Nana Leigh.
249
805488
1885
13:27
Hello, Leanne.
250
807373
1835
13:29
Nice to see you here.
251
809208
1852
13:31
Are you having a nice day?
252
811060
1535
13:32
I have a feeling you might be in Vietnam.
253
812595
2969
13:35
Are you in Vietnam?
254
815564
1101
13:36
Please let me know and I will send you a very big special hello
255
816665
5472
13:42
and also hello to everyone watching in Vietnam at the moment.
256
822221
5472
13:47
Mr. Duncan, there are many girls around.
257
827776
5740
13:53
When you say girls, do you mean females?
258
833599
3186
13:56
Oh, Mr.
259
836869
2386
13:59
Duncan, I could murder an ice cream.
260
839255
3753
14:03
Yes, I could.
261
843008
1535
14:04
I feel a little hot because it is a hot day,
262
844543
3671
14:08
so I really do need an ice cream.
263
848297
3804
14:12
In fact, I would kill for an ice cream right now.
264
852101
4387
14:16
I really would.
265
856488
1769
14:18
Thank you, Mr. Duncan, for staying with us.
266
858257
2102
14:20
Thank you, Yuan. Yuan.
267
860359
1935
14:22
But now thank you very much.
268
862294
1902
14:24
It's very kind of you to say so. It is a pleasure.
269
864196
2986
14:27
I would love to do live streams more often.
270
867182
6057
14:33
The only problem sometimes is, well,
271
873305
2820
14:36
first of all, sometimes I don't have time to do it.
272
876125
3003
14:39
And the other problem is if I come outside,
273
879161
3387
14:42
I have to make sure that I can get a signal on my phone.
274
882548
5739
14:48
Because if I can't get a signal on my phone,
275
888370
3504
14:52
then I can't do a live stream.
276
892007
3187
14:55
That is very unfortunate.
277
895277
2336
14:57
It's probably because I think it's because my iPhone is very old.
278
897613
5138
15:02
I think it is because it's two years old.
279
902835
2269
15:05
My iPhone.
280
905104
1234
15:06
It's very, very, very.
281
906338
1835
15:08
Oh, indeed.
282
908173
3003
15:11
Hello Can new in hello to you.
283
911193
3070
15:14
I think you are watching in Vietnam as well.
284
914263
3637
15:17
I hope that in the future Mr.
285
917983
2453
15:20
Duncan, you will visit my country.
286
920436
3720
15:24
Well, we will see.
287
924189
1419
15:25
We will say
288
925608
2569
15:28
hello to Mariam,
289
928177
3470
15:31
Mariam and Minnie.

931714
3003
15:34
Hello to you. Hello, Mr. Duncan.
291
934967
1618
15:36
My name is Mariam.
292
936585
2119
15:38
I have been watching your videos for 18 months.
293
938704
3954
15:42
That's very nice to hear.
294
942725
1751
15:44
I'm always nice, I'm always pleased and it is always nice to hear that new people are joining in.
295
944476
6307
15:50
So welcome Mariam, and I hope you enjoy this
296
950866
4888
15:55
unusual experience.
297
955838
4254
16:00
I, I hope you enjoy it as much as the people around me because
298
960175
5089
16:05
I seem to have made the place completely deserted.
299
965347
3253
16:08
Everyone's disappeared.
300
968684
1885
16:10
Maybe it's my fault.
301
970569
1835
16:12
Maybe it's something I said. I don't know.
302
972404
4455
16:16
Hello to Peru.
303
976925
2253

979178
1384
16:20
Nice to see you here today.
305
980562
4121
16:24
Do you remember a student
306
984767
3570
16:28
whose name is Alex De?
307
988420
3637
16:32
Well, yes, I know Alex De.
308
992141
1952
16:34
He is a well-known YouTube sub English teacher in Vietnam.
309
994093
5188
16:39
And I also happen to know that he is a very big fan of my videos.
310
999314
5189
16:44
And yes, he is a good English teacher as well.
311
1004586
3971
16:48
So, yes, I do know of him and I have heard of him as well.
312
1008640

17:39
Isn't that lovely? And yes, you can make donations.
326

3270
17:43
Don't forget, everything I do is free,
327
1063212
4120
17:47
so I never charge anything for my English lessons.
328
1067416
5322
17:52
17 years I've been doing this.
329
1072805
3486
17:56
I was, of course, the first English English
330
1076291
3204
17:59
teacher on YouTube ever.
331
1079495
3003
18:02
It's true. I'm not joking.
332
1082498
4037
18:06
It is true.
333
1086618
1585
18:08
Hello, Myanmar.

Thank you very much.

1109708
2586
18:32
I do appreciate it.
342
1112294
1952
18:34
As I said a few moments ago, everything I do, I do for free.
343
1114246
3637
18:37
So not only this, I also make
344
1117966
3053
18:41
English lessons that are recorded,
345
1121019
3254
18:44
and I also do a livestream every Sunday.
346
1124356
6039
18:50
Every Sunday I also do a livestream.
347
1130479

Hello to

Madhu who Shan Hello, Matt Hutcheon Hello Mr.
349
1137452
3788
19:01
Duncan.
350
1141240
450
19:01
I am addicted to your videos.
351
1141690
1919
19:03
I am watching in Sri Lanka.
352
1143609
3003
19:06
Very exotic.
353
1146612
3003
19:09
Hello.
354
1149765
1735
19:11
I think maybe it is warmer
355
1151500
3153
19:14
in Sri Lanka than it is here.
356
1154736
3921
19:18
It's only 20 degrees here today,
357
1158724
4271
19:23
even though for the past couple of days
358
1163078
1869
19:24
we've had terrible weather, we've had so much rain
359
1164947
3904
19:28
which is odd because last week
360
1168934
2569
19:31
we had lots and lots of hot sunshine.
361
1171503
4521
19:36
So last week we were actually having a heatwave.
362
1176108
4888
19:41
Today,
363
1181079
2036
19:43
not so much.
364
1183115
1468
19:44
It's not so hot as it was last week.
365
1184583
3203
19:47
Christine is here.
366
1187853
1868
19:49
Oh, Christine, can I give you a virtual hug?
367
1189721
4238
19:54
Is that okay? Okay. Here we go.
368
1194193
2786
19:56
Christine, hello to you.
369
1196979
3003
19:59
Hello, Christina. Nice to see you here.
370
1199982
2886
20:02
Where are you today?
371
1202868
1318
20:04
Are you somewhere nice?
372
1204186
1518
20:05
Are you somewhere exotic and sunny?
373
1205704
3504
20:09
I wonder if you are.
374
1209274
3003
20:12
And if you are, please tell me where you are.
375
1212527
2987
20:15
That would be nice.
376
1215514
4671
20:20
Hello to Niamh.
377
1220269
3203
20:23
Lea asks, Where are you now, Mr.
378
1223589
2969
20:26
Duncan? I am now in the place where I live.
379
1226558
3487
20:30
This is my hometown.
380
1230279
5438
20:35
Well, it is my home town now.
381
1235951
2753
20:38
Originally I lived in a place called Stafford.
382
1238704
4871
20:43
Now, many years later,
383
1243659
3003
20:46
I live in a place called Much Wenlock, which is here.
384
1246878
4021
20:50
So this is where I am at the moment, standing in the market square.
385
1250983
5071
20:56
And if you look over there, you can see
386
1256138
2435
20:58
one of the old telephone boxes.
387
1258573
3003
21:01
Sadly,
388
1261593
2386
21:03
these telephone boxes are no longer used
389
1263979
3603
21:07
because most people have smartphones.
390
1267666
3987
21:11
They do they have smartphones.
391
1271737
2369
21:14
They don't have to use one of those anymore.
392
1274106
2769
21:16
They can just use their smartphone, which is very clever.
393
1276875
3904
21:20
Very nice.
394
1280862
1435
21:22
Hello to Eleonore.

1282297
1769
21:24
Hello, Mr. Duncan.
396
1284066
1468
21:25
I haven't seen you for a long time.
397
1285534
2285
21:27
Well, I have been here.
398
1287819
2019
21:29
I've been doing my livestreams, I've been doing my recorded lessons.
399
1289838
4354
21:34
Nothing has changed,
400
1294276
3787
21:38
Mr. Duncan.
401
1298146
751
21:38
How long?
402
1298897
1435
21:40
I haven't seen you.
403
1300332
1084
21:41
I miss your classes.
404
1301416
1252
21:42
Unfortunately, your life videos are very early for me.
405
1302668
5255
21:48
Well, that is one of the problems with doing live video streams,
406
1308006
5472
21:53
because here in the UK,
407
1313562
2452
21:56
the time difference between here and where you are
408
1316014
4488
22:00
can sometimes be quite big, quite large, a very large gap.
409
1320585
5372
22:06
So for some people it is now
410
1326041
2152
22:08
very early in the morning and for other people it is late at night
411
1328193
5272
22:13
and for some people it is almost tomorrow.
412
1333548
4205
22:17
So that is one of the things about doing livestreams.
413
1337836
3237
22:21
You sometimes find the time difference can be a problem.
414
1341073
5889
22:27
So that is one of the reasons why now in a game, not always.
415
1347045
4705
22:31
Sometimes you might miss my live streams because
416
1351750
8108
22:39
of the time difference.
417
1359941
2403
22:42
Oh, Christina is back home now.
418
1362344
3003
22:45
My holidays are over.
419
1365580
4038
22:49
Thank you for your virtual hug, Mr.
420
1369684
2920
22:52
Duncan.
421
1372604
1051
22:53
You are welcome.
422
1373655
1018
22:54
It is not a problem, Mr.
423
1374673
2903
22:57
Steve and myself.
424
1377576
1117
22:58
We were talking about the Paris rendezvous,
425
1378693
4472
23:03
which happened way back in June.
426
1383248
3003
23:06
Do you remember that?
427
1386251
1502
23:07
We actually met up There was myself. There was Mr.
428
1387753
2902
23:10
Steve and also six other students as well.
429
1390655
5773
23:16
We were all together and we met up in Paris.
430
1396578
3287
23:20
Not only that, I also did a live stream as well.
431
1400048
5472
23:25
That's the reason why Mr.
432
1405604
1251
23:26
Steve went back to work
433
1406855
3003
23:29
to pay for the trip.
434
1409891
3003
23:32
Mr. Steve isn't here today because he's working.
435
1412928
2936
23:35
It is a work day, you see.
436
1415864
2269
23:38
So at the moment Steve is busy in front of his computer,
437
1418133
7240
23:45
quite likely getting angry,
438
1425457
3003
23:48
maybe thumping the keyboard with his fist.
439
1428493
5706
23:54
He might even be watching me at this moment.
440
1434282
2586
23:56
Who knows?
441
1436868
1919
23:58
Thank you very much for joining me.
442
1438787
1551
24:00
It's very nice to see you here.
443
1440338
2486
24:02
Oh, it is lunchtime now for Claudia.
444
1442824
3120
24:05
Well, I think that is quite useful, really, when you think about it, because you are cooking food
445
1445944
5322
24:11
and I think a good time to cook food is at lunch time.
446
1451349
5923
24:17
Yes. Maybe Steve is watching the live stream.
447
1457355
3237
24:20
Yes, maybe he is.
448
1460592
1201
24:21
I don't know.
449
1461793
1168
24:22
Just in case. Hello, Mr. Steve.
450
1462961
2669
24:25
Are you watching at the moment?
451
1465630
1569
24:27
Are you skiving from your work.
452
1467199
4621
24:31
Skiving
453
1471903
2553
24:34
a person who is a skydiver
454
1474456
3720
24:38
is a person who avoids work
455
1478260
4638
24:42
so they should be working, They should be doing their job,
456
1482964
3621
24:46
but instead they are skiving
457
1486668
4621
24:51
skydive to
458
1491373
1952
24:53
avoid work. Mm.
459
1493325
4154
24:57
Very interesting word.
460
1497546
1384
24:58
We use it a lot in British English, Christina says.
461
1498930
5222
25:04
I always think about the time we spent in Paris.
462
1504152
4321
25:08
It was so magical.
463
1508473
1919
25:10
I'm not. Yes, you're right.
464
1510392
2602
25:12
I feel the same way.
465
1512994
1919
25:14
I thought it was a magical time.
466
1514913
2352
25:17
We had a wonderful time and hopefully one day
467
1517265
3354
25:20
we will be able to meet up again and have fun.
468
1520869
5372
25:26
Maybe here
469
1526324
1402
25:27
in much Wenlock, we might actually meet up here.
470
1527726
3153
25:30
I imagine that.
471
1530996
1234
25:32
Imagine having a rendezvous
472
1532230
3404
25:35
right here and much Wenlock.
473
1535717
2519
25:38
Wouldn't that be amazing?
474
1538236
1952
25:40
So maybe in the future we will meet up again.
475
1540188
4288
25:44
Maybe with you and Beatrice and Louis
476
1544559
5739
25:50
right here, and maybe some other people as well,
477
1550382
3970
25:54
some other of my viewers.
478
1554436
2252
25:56
We can all meet up together. Wouldn't that be nice,
479
1556688
4204
26:00
Mr. Duncan?
480
1560976
1017
26:01
Sabine, what are you doing?
481
1561993
2436
26:04
Mr. Duncan?
482
1564429
734
26:05
What are you going to eat this afternoon?
483
1565163
3203
26:08
I don't know what I'm going to eat, but at the moment I am surrounded
484
1568433
4521
26:13
by cakes and ice cream
485
1573038
3620
26:16
because there are some cake shops here in Much Wenlock.
486
1576691
3754
26:20
And there are some places where I can go and eat some food.
487
1580528
3320
26:23
In fact, just over there there is a small cafe
488
1583915
5723
26:29
and inside they sell all sorts of delicious ice cream.
489
1589704
4271
26:34
I would really love
490
1594059
2969
26:37
to have an ice cream.
491
1597028
1802
26:38
I would, yes.
492
1598830
4087
26:42
I think it's I think it is a good idea to meet up from time to time,
493
1602917
5523
26:48
meet up with your friends, and also people
494
1608523
3053
26:51
you've never met before as well.
495
1611610
3336
26:55
So I think you're right. Yes. It is nice.
496
1615030
4571
26:59
Mr. Duncan, you are wrong.
497
1619684
2252
27:01
Mr. Steve is a hard working man.
498
1621936
3454
27:05
I know he is
499
1625473
4722
27:10
sometimes.
500
1630278
2269
27:12
Sometimes he works hard.
501
1632547
1468
27:14
You all right?
502
1634015
1485
27:15
Yes. Can we have
503
1635500
2903
27:18
a meetup in much Wenlock?
504
1638403
3003
27:21
I think it's a great idea.
505
1641606
1351
27:22
Maybe next year we could do that.
506
1642957
2970
27:25
We could have a rendezvous right here.
507
1645927
3854
27:29
There are plenty of places to stay.
508
1649864
1886
27:31
And there are some hotels.
509
1651750
2619
27:34
There are some guest houses here.
510
1654369
2336
27:36
And much Wenlock.
511
1656705
1434
27:38
So maybe next year we could have a rendezvous right here
512
1658139
5089
27:43
in this square.
513
1663294
1952
27:45
I imagine that
514
1665246
4972
27:50
Hello to.
515
1670285
1084
27:51
Oh, we have another person in Brazil.
516
1671369
2586
27:53
Hello, Brazil.
517
1673955
1435
27:55
Hello to
518
1675390
3737
27:59
I want to say
519
1679194
3003
28:02
Captain Habash.
520
1682230
1285
28:03
Kabir, I probably pronounce your name incorrectly,
521
1683515
4154
28:07
for which I'll apologise right now, but hello to Brazil.
522
1687752
3621
28:11
A big hello.
523
1691373
2502
28:13
A big hello to you.
524
1693875
2369
28:16
Hello. Very nice.
525
1696244
5022
28:21
A lot of people
526
1701332
701
28:22
riding their bicycles today because the weather is so nice.
527
1702033
4088
28:26
That is it.
528
1706204
3403
28:29
That house on the left with the wood is iconic.
529
1709674
4204
28:33
Do you know the era they were built?
530
1713878
4205
28:38
Is there a year of construction on the front?
531
1718166
3237
28:41
Well, I think that
532
1721436
2619
28:44
that particular building over there, that is the old Guild Hall.
533
1724055
4621
28:48
So that is where they used to have all of the meetings
534
1728760
3587
28:52
and also the Crown Court used to meet there.
535
1732414
4037
28:56
And a lot of the punishment would be
536
1736534
2753
28:59
would be given out at the old Guild Hall.
537
1739287
4605
29:03
So, yes, the Guild Hall is a famous place.
538
1743975
2603
29:06
It is quite iconic.
539
1746578
2285
29:08
It is probably 500 years old, maybe older than that,
540
1748863
4288
29:13
but it is a very old building
541
1753368
3603
29:17
these days.
542
1757055
951
29:18
It is used as the local market.
543
1758006
3003
29:21
So inside the the area beneath,
544
1761009
3653
29:24
if you look there, you can see there is an area beneath
545
1764662
3804
29:28
the Guild Hall and that is now the farmers market.
546
1768533
5172
29:33
So during the week
547
1773788
2319
29:36
that there will be lots of vegetable
548
1776191
2002
29:38
oils and fruit sold there in that place.
549
1778193
4688
29:42
But yes, it must be around 500 years old.
550
1782881
4020
29:46
That particular building, even though over the years it's had a lot of repair work
551
1786985
6223
29:53
because sometimes it would move slightly.
552
1793291
5105
29:58
It was always in danger of falling down.
553
1798480
2469
30:00
But now it is very safe.
554
1800949
3937
30:04
It's probably safer than some of our modern buildings.
555
1804953
3503
30:08
I don't know if you've heard, but we are having difficulty at the moment
556
1808523
3220
30:11
with some of our modern buildings.
557
1811743
2369
30:14
Apparently they were built using certain types of material
558
1814112
5322
30:19
that are now starting to deteriorate.
559
1819517
4171
30:23
That's a great word.
560
1823771
1469
30:25
If something deteriorates, it means it starts
561
1825240
3503
30:28
to lose its natural state.
562
1828743
3504
30:32
It starts to rot, it starts to fall apart,
563
1832313
5656
30:38
it deteriorates.
564
1838052
2887
30:40
It's a good word that
565
1840939
2018
30:43
it's a super word, you might say.
566
1843024
4221
30:47
How many countries have you been to Mr.
567
1847328
1886
30:49
Duncan?
568
1849214
483
30:49
I've been to a few countries in my life.
569
1849697
3387
30:53
I've been to Malaysia many times.
570
1853167
4472
30:57
A beautiful country, very interesting place to visit.
571
1857639
4087
31:01
I've also been to France,
572
1861809
4155
31:06
I've been to a Netherlands, I've been to.
573
1866047
5189
31:11
Where else have I been? Oh, yes,
574
1871236
2869
31:14
I've been to Portugal as well.
575
1874105
2469
31:16
Beautiful place.
576
1876574
1769
31:18
I've also been to China.
577
1878343
1985
31:20
In fact, for those who don't know, I used to live in China.
578
1880328
5339
31:25
I lived there for many years teaching English,
579
1885750
4054
31:29
and that is where I started my YouTube channel
580
1889888
3286
31:33
way back in 2006.
581
1893258
2869
31:36
So this you are watching now started
582
1896127
4571
31:40
in the very early days of YouTube.
583
1900782
2402
31:43
YouTube was still new when I started my English teaching
584
1903184
6673
31:49
and I was still living
585
1909924
884
31:50
at China at the time, Christina says.
586
1910808
3020
31:53
It looks like Shakespeare's house.
587
1913828
2786
31:56
It is not Shakespeare's house,
588
1916614
2820
31:59
but it might be from a similar time.
589
1919434
4004
32:03
In fact, I think this is older.
590
1923521
2336
32:05
This building might actually be older
591
1925857
3220
32:09
than Shakespeare's house.
592
1929160
2453
32:11
It's true.
593
1931613
2919
32:14
Why didn't you come to Vietnam?
594
1934532
2369
32:16
Well, there is a reason for that.
595
1936901
2186
32:19
And it's because there are many countries around the world.
596
1939087
2786
32:21
And unfortunately, because I have to have a job and I have to
597
1941873
6139
32:28
support myself.
598
1948096
3870
32:32
Sadly, travelling costs a lot of money,
599
1952050
4938
32:37
so I can't always go to the places where I would like to visit.
600
1957055
3853
32:40
So that is a shame, really.
601
1960992
1885
32:42
Louis Yes, you are right, Louis.
602
1962877
3303
32:46
I've also been to Madeira as well.
603
1966180
4054
32:50
A very nice small island.
604
1970234
3521
32:53
I went there many years ago.
605
1973838
2085
32:55
I think that was way back in 2010,
606
1975923
5005
33:00
maybe 2010, maybe even 2009.
607
1980995
4755
33:05
A long time ago. Yes, I did go to Madeira.
608
1985833
3003
33:08
You are right.
609
1988886
1469
33:10
Thank you, Louis, for reminding me.
610
1990355
4037
33:14
Hello, Pascale.
611
1994475
1769
33:16
Hello, Pasquale. Nice to see you here.
612
1996244
2185
33:18
Have you ever been to Italy?
613
1998429
2136
33:20
I've never been to Italy.
614
2000565
1952
33:22
Even though
615
2002517
2519
33:25
Mr. Steve is very keen
616
2005036
4121
33:29
on going to Italy, he really wants to go there.
617
2009223
3471
33:32
I would like to visit Lake Como.
618
2012777
3670
33:36
That is, that the place is not the right place.
619
2016531
3003
33:39
Very beautiful place.
620
2019734
1852
33:41
It's where all the famous film stars and millionaires
621
2021586
3386
33:44
live.
622
2024972
3821
33:48
Turkey.
623
2028876
718
33:49
Yes, I've been to Turkey.
624
2029594
1301
33:50
Thank you, Andrew.
625
2030895
3003
33:54
I keep forgetting all these places I've been to.
626
2034098
2937
33:57
Of course I've been to Turkey as well.
627
2037035
2352
33:59
I visited Turkey twice and in fact,
628
2039387
3687
34:03
I made an English lesson in Turkey.
629
2043074
3754
34:06
Whilst I was staying in Turkey, I actually made an English lesson
630
2046994
5556
34:12
in Turkey and yes, it is still available on my YouTube channel.
631
2052700
4688
34:17
It still exists.
632
2057472
4054
34:21
Very nice.
633
2061609
667
34:22
It would appear that people know a lot about me.
634
2062276
5372
34:27
It feels very strange
635
2067732
2035
34:29
when people around the world know more about me
636
2069767
4038
34:33
than you do
637
2073888
4288
34:38
or my family does.
638
2078259
2069
34:40
Maybe you might meet George Clooney
639
2080328
2586
34:42
because he has a beautiful lake house
640
2082914
4504
34:47
in Italy.
641
2087502
1251
34:48
Does he really know?
642
2088753
1118
34:49
I, I heard that George Clooney sold that.
643
2089871
5438
34:55
I heard he doesn't live there anymore.
644
2095393
2135
34:57
I think he's he's moved.
645
2097528
1936
34:59
In fact, I know he has a big house here in England.
646
2099464
3503
35:03
So George Clooney has a huge mansion
647
2103034
4154
35:07
here in England.
648
2107271
3254
35:10
I know, because some of his neighbours were complaining
649
2110608
4388
35:15
and he was doing some building work on his mansion.
650
2115062
3003
35:18
They were all complaining about it.
651
2118249
1985
35:20
There was lots of noise,
652
2120234
2753
35:22
which is quite interesting.
653
2122987
3971
35:27
What happened to your friend in China?
654
2127041
3253
35:30
He was a very nice person.
655
2130378
2035
35:32
That must be my friend Jiang Wei.
656
2132413
3487
35:35
Well, he now lives in Australia and for many years
657
2135983
4255
35:40
he's been working as a nurse, a medic in Australia.
658
2140238
6072
35:46
So he actually went to to college,
659
2146394
2869
35:49
he went to nursing university
660
2149263
3704
35:52
or nursing college and he got his diploma
661
2152967
6039
35:59
in medicine and now he
662
2159073
3003
36:02
works as a nurse.
663
2162293
5255
36:07
And yes, men can be nurses.
664
2167632
2369
36:10
I think that's all right.
665
2170001
1701
36:11
I think men can be nurses.
666
2171702
6774
36:18
So that's what happened to Jiang Way.
667
2178543
1785
36:20
He is now living a very nice life
668
2180328
2986
36:23
in Melbourne, in Australia,
669
2183314
5138
36:28
I have to say.
670
2188536
817
36:29
I think Melbourne must be more exciting
671
2189353
4355
36:33
and more vibrant
672
2193791
3337
36:37
than much.
673
2197211
451
36:37
Wenlock I think it's safe to say.

3303
36:46
I have to make a cup of tea for Mr.
677
2206787
2636
36:49
Steve or else he will be very angry and he will shout at me
678
2209423
7324
36:56
and he will.
679
2216814
1602
36:58
He really will.

694
2269183
4772

2274038
3003
37:57
very posh places in Italy.
