7830
05:19
because officially it is the start of British summer time now I know this is
22
319300
6840
05:26
going to get very confusing because we are still in spring so it is still
23
326140
5430
05:31
spring time but now the clocks have changed in preparation for summer
24
331570
7550
05:39
arriving I know it's very confusing it's very confusing but it still spring so
25
339120
6580
05:45
let's have a look at the view this morning I woke up this morning to this
26
345700
4589
05:50
Oh
27
350289
2571
05:53
so there it is the actual view this morning that greeted me as I woke up
28
353620
5270
05:58
there it was of course some people might say it's very strange to sleep in your
29
358890
6100
06:04
garden but there you go I'm a bit of a strange guy I sometimes so there is the
30
364990
6240
06:11
view that greeted me as I woke up and there we are looking across to a place
31
371230
5400
06:16
called little Wenlock so in the distance the place you can see there is called
32
376630
5340
06:21
little Wenlock it's true apparently little Wenlock is supposed to be the
33
381970
6900
06:28
highest village the highest village in england it is supposed to be the village
34
388870
6450
06:35

06:49
at that almost complete blue sky so there it is today's view and to be
37
409390
9870
06:59
honest with you there is pretty much the same view at the moment outside I'm

4541
08:11
my fingers crossed today that we don't have any problems

491020
4190
08:15
today with the technical things you know what technology is like quite often
50
495210

08:23
technology will go wrong normally when you need it most so the other night on
51
503620
5790
08:29
Wednesday we did have some technical problems I'm hoping that I've sorted
52
509410
5939
08:35
them out so I went for a lovely walk yesterday and yes you can tell that
53
515349
5461
08:40
spring is on the way and summer is not far away following spring because look
54
520810
8960
08:49
look what I saw yesterday poking out of the ground you can see already that the
55
529770
7060
08:56
the wild garlic is coming up if ever there was a sign that spring is on the
56
536830
6540
09:03
way and summer is not far off either it must be the sight of wild garlic
57
543370
7700
09:11
beginning to come out of the ground there it is some lovely wild garlic that
58
551070
7150
09:18
I spotted yesterday on my walk do you like garlic do you like eating garlic
59
558220
7260
09:25
some people like it some people don't like it personally
60
565480
4680
09:30
I love the taste of garlic the more garlic the better last week I had a
61
570160
6600
09:36
pizza with mr. Steve and I put so much garlic on top of the pizza it was
62
576760
6960
09:43
absolutely delicious do you like garlic I know a lot of people don't they find
63
583720
5369
09:49
the taste rather disgusting but I absolutely love it so spring is here
64
589089
7500
09:56
would you like to see some new lambs would you like to see some baby lambs
65
596589
6111
10:02
okay let's have a look right now oh look at that
66
602700
7640
10:10
isn't that beautiful a beautiful scene with the the use and many of the use at
67
610340
9060
10:19
the moment are giving birth to their baby lambs and their oh look there's one
68
619400
6750
10:26
of them now running away I think lambs are very shy so there you
69
626150
7710
10:33
can see the view beautiful view not far away from my house and you can see there
70
633860
6630
10:40
are lots of newborn lambs because spring has definitely arrived there are lots of
71
640490
8190
10:48
little lambs and in the evening you can hear them all you can hear all of the
72
648680
5760
10:54
lambs bleating bleats a great word so the sound that the lamb makes is bleat
73
654440
9899
11:04
bleat I'm not sure if the use are very happy with me filming them they look a
74
664339
13381
11:17
bit nervous so there are some more little lambs can you see them aren't
75
677720
4770
11:22
they absolutely lovely they're so cute so in the early hours of this morning
76
682490
8599
11:31
British summer time arrived but of course it is still spring at the moment
77
691089
7151
11:38
here in England so yes it is quite confusing at this time of the year
78
698240
4500
11:42
because some people say that summer has started because we've put the clocks
79
702740
4140
11:46
forward for British summer time and other people say that it sells still
80
706880
5760
11:52
spring so as far as I'm concerned it's still spring so springtime is definitely
81
712640
8790
12:01
here now and as if you needed reminding look at that some beautiful little
82
721430
7110
12:08
newborn lambs oh my goodness I don't know about you but I always get
83
728540
7530
12:16
very very happy I always become very happy I have a big smile on my face
84
736070
4950
12:21
whenever I see lambs the only problem with lambs is they also
85
741020
5130
12:26
taste very delicious as well that's the only problem and there they are posing
86
746150
6360
12:32
for me posing for a photograph lots of lovely newborn lambs I hope you enjoyed
87
752510
9230
12:41
those images so spring is definitely here now would you like to hear some of
88
761740
6670
12:48
the spring sounds I have a microphone at the moment in my garden so listen
89
768410
5460
12:53
carefully you will be able to hear some of the spring sounds can you hear them
90
773870
15110
13:08
can hear the spring sounds birds singing in the distance it's a beautiful spring
91
788980
9640
13:18
day even though it feels a lot like summer I must be honest
92
798620
5310
13:23
so I hoping later I'm hoping that we can go outside for about 20 minutes towards
93
803930
5700
13:29
the end of today's live stream we have mr. Steve here yes mr. Steve will be
94

96
860090
5950
14:26

14:41

99
881550
5160
14:46
why why is next Sunday special can you tell me why it is so I have a feeling
100
886710
7920
14:54
that there are some people who haven't joined me yet because they are getting
101
894630
4560
14:59
confused with the time change now normally we follow this which is GMT
102
899190
11840
15:11
Greenwich Mean Time but now we are following b st b st which is British
103
911030
12010
15:23
summer time so there you can see on the screen BST is now the time zone that we
104
923040
7110
15:30
are in because we have put the clocks forward by one hour so that means my
105
930150
5910
15:36
live stream for some people will be actually appearing at a different time
106
936060
5340
15:41
even though here in the UK the time is exactly the same because we've put the
107
941400
5430
15:46
clocks forward by one hour so BST means British summer time and for the rest of
108
946830
9600
15:56
the year we follow G M T which means Greenwich Mean Time which is the area in
109
956430
7830
16:04
London where the time zone begins around the whole world mmm it's true so next
110
964260
9900
16:14
Sunday is a special day but why I will be revealing the answer a little bit
111
974160
5070
16:19

though the clocks did change this morning for those who are getting a bit
134
1230800
3570
20:34
confused I will mention this a few times because I think it's very important to
135
1234370
4770
20:39
mention that the clocks did go forward by one hour and that is the reason why
136
1239140
4620

137
1243760

24:31
a traditional English wedding normally consists of three parts you have the
159
1471510
14520
24:46
church service when the bride and groom are blessed then you have a special
160
1486030
5100
24:51
reception where all the friends and relations meet together and have a meal
161
1491130
3840
24:54
and quite often also in the evening you'll have a large evening dinner and
162
1494970
5490
25:00
maybe a disco with people dancing and needless to say drinking lots of beer
163
1500460
7850
25:08
we've now arrived at the wedding reception so let's go inside
164
1508310
7200
25:47
so here we are at the reception and as a starter we have voila look at last
165
1547650
6280
25:53
salmon mousse one of the main differences between having a meal here
166
1553930
6480
26:00
in England and having one in China is they bring the courses separately
167
1560410
4020
26:04
whereas in China they bring all of courses at the same time compile them in
168
1564430
4140
26:08
the middle of the table but here each course is served one by one okay I'm
169
1568570
7470
26:16
getting very excited now because the main course is coming mmm
170
1576040

8910
32:03
thank you very much Jamelia that's very kind of you sniper DZ or sniper DZ says
208
1923250
7530
32:10
how is the lifestyle in England could you tell me the lifestyle if you wanted
209
1930780
6810
32:17
me to give you a very brief summary of lifestyle in England or in the UK I
210
1937590
9270
32:26
would say that we are probably reasonably comfortable with our lives
211
1946860
7110
32:33
there are some people who do struggle to survive they have to struggle they have
212
1953970
5640
32:39
to have maybe two or three jobs to make ends meet if you make ends meet it means
213
1959610
7860
32:47
you have to find enough money to survive you just about manage to make ends meet
214
1967470
8160
32:55
so there is poverty in this country but not much not much poverty and of course
215
1975630
8130
33:03
there are social problems just like any other country so and of course we do
216
1983760
4770
33:08
have a class system here as well we have working class of which I I would place
217
1988530
5730
33:14
myself in that group I am working class I have to work to survive just like many
218
1994260
7110
33:21
people do but I would say that life in England is quite comfortable quite
219
2001370
7980
33:29
comfortable not too bad we we still have complaints to make we still moan in fact
220
2009350
6420
33:35
that is one thing that English people do very well and that is moan we do like to
221
2015770
6480
33:42
have a little bit of a moan sometimes even though life in this country is
222
2022250
6750
33:49
quite good so there I hope that answers your question live chat is very busy

3720
35:24
today feels very much like spring and of course as I mentioned already I'm going
239
2124280
6240
35:30
to mention this a few times today the time has changed here in the UK we have
240
2130520
5850
35:36
gone forward one hour so for some people it might appear that I am here at the
241
2136370
6150
35:42
wrong time but I am here at the right time because as you can see the time is
242

5550
35:48

35:56

244
2156080
5550
36:01
Wednesday I don't know where he was he disappeared he vanished so we'll find
245
2161630
5520
36:07
out all about that later on on Friday I went to the dentist
246
2167150
6980
36:14
as some of you might know I don't like going to the dentist not one bit
247
2174170
6330
36:20
I don't like going to the dentist and there are various reasons for that I
248
2180500
3840
36:24
will let you know why I don't like the dentist in the moment but something very
249
2184340
4980
36:29
strange happened on Friday whilst at the dentist now the lady who was doing my
250
2189320
5790
36:35
teeth she was checking my teeth to make sure that they are okay and first of all
251
2195110
6060
36:41
she was very pleased with my teeth she said Duncan your teeth are really
252
2201170
6360
36:47
really good you have kept them in very good condition but one of the strange
253
2207530
5250
36:52
things that happened on Friday at the dentist she actually got me to help her
254
2212780
6210
36:58
while she was treating me so I I had to hold the thing that sucks the water out
255
2218990
6780
37:05
of your mouth you know the thing it's like a suction tube it in your mouth so
256
2225770
9210
37:14
she asked me to hold it because her assistant wasn't there so because her
257
2234980
5850
37:20
assistant wasn't there that day I had to help her with the procedure so I was
258
2240830
6840
37:27
holding that the little tube that goes into your mouth while she was working on
259
2247670
5400
37:33
my teeth it was a very strange moment I was actually hoping that she would
260
2253070
4950
37:38
reduce the bill a little bit so I wouldn't have to pay so much because I
261
2258020
4620
37:42
gave her I gave her some help but no no the bill was exactly the same as it
262
2262640
6030
37:48
always was dear ma yes it sucks all of the water out of your mouth it's it's a
263
2268670
6720
37:55
horrible sound so I don't like the dentist but why why don't I like the
264
2275390
5520
38:00
dentist well here is the reason why
265
2280910
7070
38:23
growing up is not the most pleasant of events it is often filled with scary
266
2303340
5350
38:28
moments and unpleasant experiences of all the upsetting and traumatic moments
267
2308690
7020
38:35
from my childhood one in particular still lingers strongly with me I would
268
2315710
5670
38:41
have been about eight years old at the time and I had to go to the dentist for
269
2321380
5160
38:46
a multiple extraction this procedure involves the removal of many teeth at
270
2326540
6840
38:53
the same time in my case it was ten yes I had 10 teeth taken out whom one go
271
2333380
8810
39:02
this is normally done whilst the patient is under anaesthetic in those days they
272
2342190
6700
39:08
often used nitrous oxide to put you to sleep many of you will know this
273
2348890
5940
39:14
particular substance as laughing gas so try to imagine the scene an
274
2354830
9900
39:24
eight-year-old boy under anaesthetic having ten of his teeth removed if that
275
2364730
6600
39:31
wasn't bad enough after the procedure ended I was not
276
2371330
3810
39:35
fully revived I had not come round from the anesthetic which meant that my
277
2375140
6210
39:41
parents had to carry me unconscious through the dentist's waiting room and
278
2381350
4740
39:46
out to a waiting car my only real memories of this event include the
279
2386090
6240
39:52
moments just before the laughing gas was giving to me via a large rubber mask
280
2392330
5160
39:57
which was placed over my face in the dentist's chair and much later as I came
281
2397490
5850
40:03
round from the anaesthetic itself at home even to this day I can still recall
282
2403340
7110
40:10
the foul taste of stale blood in my mouth not to mention the strange
283
2410450
5190
40:15
sensation of having 10 of my teeth suddenly vanish
284
2415640
6050
40:23
this horrific experience put me off going to the dentist for many years
285
2423610
5940
40:29
needless to say these days a trip to the dentist is not as traumatic as it was in
286
2429550
6520
40:36
my childhood modern dental surgeries are more welcoming and the procedures are
287
2436070
6690
40:42
over much quicker of course even now going to the dentist
288
2442760
4380
40:47
still has its unpleasant moments the worst part of it for me
289
2447140
5130
40:52
must be the scrape or scale this is where the dentist removes the hard
290
2452270
6540
40:58
plaque that is built up at the base of the teeth with a sharp tool this
291
2458810
6120
41:04
particular scaling procedure can be very painful indeed it all depends on how
292
2464930
5880
41:10
badly affected the teeth are so the more you look after your teeth the shorter
293
2470810
6390
41:17
the scaling procedure will be these days people are becoming more used to taking
294
2477200
9150
41:26
care of their teeth on a daily basis so much in fact that nowadays doing your
295
2486350
5880
41:32
own dentistry is becoming commonplace there are lots of wonderful gizmos and
296
2492230
6030
41:38
tools available now for cleaning your teeth thoroughly at home things that
297
2498260
5850
41:44
poke things that scrape things that squirt and things that buzz and Hum Do
298
2504110
11220
41:55
It Yourself dentistry is becoming the norm with home dentistry kits now
299
2515330
5310
42:00
available for purchase on the Internet although I wouldn't do it myself without
300
2520640
6450
42:07
having had some form of guidance or training first
301
2527090
5750
42:15
surely one of the worst dental procedures of all must be an extraction
302
2535900
8530
42:24
an extraction is where a tooth is literally pulled out of the jawbone just
303
2544430
6360
42:30
like I had when I was 8 some people even pull their own teeth
304
2550790
4800
42:35
out I can't imagine anyone wanting to pull their own teeth out
305
2555590
4560
42:40
can you these days most dental work is carried out with the patient awake and
306
2560150
10490
42:50
conscious this includes the drilling into and extraction of teeth normally a
307
2570640
7690
42:58
local anaesthetic is used in the form of an injection into the area of the gum
308
2578330
5040
43:03
where the procedure is to be carried out the injected part of the mouth will
309
2583370
5670
43:09
become numb thus ensuring that the procedure will be a painless one how
310
2589040
9510
43:18
often do you go to the dentist do you like going to the dentist when was the
311
2598550
5370
43:23
last time you went to the dentist neglecting your teeth is not a good
312
2603920
4770
43:28
thing to do as when you get older they will become unhealthy and fall out
313
2608690
6000
43:34
bad mouth hygiene has also been linked to other physical ailments such as heart
314
2614690
6180
43:40
disease and certain types of cancer fortunately for me I learned my lesson
315
2620870
5910
43:46
before my teeth became too bad which is definitely something to smile about
316
2626780
9230
44:30
it is true no one likes going to the dentist the dentist is not a very good
317
2670190
7960
44:38
place to go I don't know what it is whenever you go to the dentist when you
318
2678150
4410
44:42
first walk in to the waiting room something happens everything around you
319
2682560
6030
44:48
seems to change suddenly your mood alters you feel very nervous a little
320
2688590
7800
44:56
apprehensive maybe because you are about to go into the dentist's chair so yes I
321
2696390
8040
45:04
had a terrible experience when I was young they took ten of my teeth out at
322
2704430
5880
45:10
the same time ten a very bad experience is going to the dentist expensive
323
2710310
7530
45:17
I think someone asked that question earlier yes it is certainly in this
324
2717840
7440
45:25
country it is very very expensive Rossa so yes going to the dentist in England
325
2725280
6480
45:31
or should I say the UK as well is quite expensive very expensive that is one of
326
2731760
6810
45:38
the reasons why many people don't go and of course they end up losing their teeth
327
2738570
4980
45:43
because of poor hygiene so of course you can have free dental treatment as well
328
2743550
7380
45:50
on the National Health Service but quite often there is a long waiting list for
329
2750930
5910
45:56
that there is a long waiting list or should I say a long queue
330
2756840
4940
46:01
so yes you going to the dentist in England is a very expensive thing and
331
2761780
7930
46:09
that as I always say you never see a poor dentist dentists are always very
332
2769710
7500
46:17
wealthy having said that my dentist Jonathan he is absolutely brilliant he
333
2777210
6900
46:24
is probably the nicest dentist I've ever had so I think if your dentist is a nice
334
2784110
6090
46:30
person then it puts you at rest it puts you at ease you don't feel so nervous
335
2790200
5490
46:35
when you have to have your teeth done still having said that I don't like the
336
2795690
7660
46:43
dentist very much at all Khalid is here hello Kali eat hello there from Freiburg

3372740
4800
56:17
where has mr. Steve bean where has he been because he wasn't here on Wednesday
423
3377540
6480
56:24
and to be honest with you I really needed mr. Steve on Wednesday to help me
424
3384020
5280
56:29
because I had some technical problems on Wednesday night did you see it
425
3389300

8820
56:43

427
3403630
6280
56:49
out anyway because mr. Steve will be here did you see him earlier in the in
428
3409910
5910
56:55
the wedding video he looks so serious a lot of people have said why did mr.
429
3415820
5460
57:01
Steve look so serious in your wedding video I don't know why by the way it
430
3421280
5940
57:07
wasn't my wedding it was actually some relatives of Steve's it was one of his
431
3427220
5700
57:12
cousins Emma and also James and by the way as I mentioned they are both still
432

57:19
happily married after 11 years isn't that lovely I would love to hear you
433
3439880
6510
57:26
talk about Henry the 8th Henry the 8th did not have a good marriage
434
3446390
8130
57:34
in fact he his marriages were so bad he kept divorcing and then marrying and
435
3454520
7830
57:42
then divorcing and sometimes he would chop the
436
3462350
4780
57:47
heads office wives he would chop their heads off so Henry the eighth really
437
3467130
6150
57:53
could have done with some marriage counseling I think I think he could have
438
3473280

3616619
8611
60:25
actually done with you on Wednesday night yes I was away on Wednesday I
459
3625230
5250
60:30
couldn't appear live with you in the teaching English unfortunately because
460
3630480
6410
60:36
occasionally I have to go away with work and attend these conferences and things
461
3636890
6369
60:43
like that we were away for three days team-building as we do I was in the
462
3643259
6421
60:49
middle of a forest cutter at a theme park about so exactly where I was but it
463
3649680
5250
60:54
was like a theme park and we were doing all these these themed team-building
464
3654930
4560
60:59
exercises so don't say center parks I won't don't whatever you do Steve don't
465
3659490
6210
61:05
say Center parks I wish you hadn't said that mr. Duncan never mind that's where
466
3665700
6599
61:12
we were no I said I said we won't stay Center Park
467
3672299
3151
61:15
exactly we won't so we haven't and I wasn't there at all but we were team
468
3675450
4530
61:19
building we're in the middle of this forest there was no phone signal it's
469
3679980
4829
61:24
quite stressful really we had to to do all sorts of things that lays a quest I
470
3684809
4621
61:29
mean it's a cycle for miles I wear to cycle to all these different things and
471
3689430
5069
61:34
so two miles cycle summer do this laser Quest and sort of shoot each other with
472
3694499
5401
61:39
lasers and and then we had to go onto archery we had to cycle another two
473
3699900
5849
61:45
miles and do some archery there a minute Steve you know they actually gave you a
474
3705749
5570
61:51
bow and arrow they did yes I had a bow and arrow is all very safe and of course
475
3711319
8800
62:00
you're in a team so we were in teams of sort of five or six and of course the
476
3720119
5670
62:05
idea was that there were like five teams of six and we were all set off at
477
3725789
4740
62:10
different times to do these activities and you had
478
3730529
3521
62:14
to collect these points along the way and then find out who was the winning
479
3734050
4170
62:18
team who went back into the room after two hours found out who was the winning
480
3738220
4410
62:22
team it wasn't us I'm never on the winning team why do you think why do you
481
3742630
7709
62:30
think that so is is it you do you let everyone down no it's all the others
482
3750339
4020
62:34
they useless oh I see and then we had all these so you have the physical
483
3754359
3510
62:37
skills like the archery and then running around laser Quest and then we had to go
484
3757869
5581
62:43
on a lake and row across a lake as fast as we couldn't try and beat the other
485
3763450
4169
62:47
teams and then they put within your packs and mental skills as well or
486
3767619
6181
62:53
puzzles so as you're going along you have to sort those out in your team so
487
3773800
3720
62:57
how well did you do at the mental tests well we did quite well with the ones we
488
3777520
4110
63:01
could google so what you are saying sheet what you are saying you actually
489
3781630
6030
63:07
cheated people were cheating yes but one was you had to they they dressed they
490
3787660
4709
63:12
written out all the a particular song of I can't figure it is now the famous
491
3792369
8281
63:20
group had sewn and then we had to fill in the missing gaps where they left out
492
3800650
4620
63:25
words but of course it was ridiculous really because all you had to do was
493
3805270
2579
63:27
look it up on the Internet it was the Queen that was very easy it
494
3807849
3750
63:31
was a queen song it wasn't Bohemian Rhapsody it was
495
3811599
2821
63:34
actually it was Bohemian Rhapsody here's this the real life is this just fantasy
496
3814420
8370
63:42
that's it so we had to they might have said is this just and then there was a
497
3822790
3990
63:46
gap and we had to put in the gap cause I'm trying to do my queen here well
498
3826780
6420
63:53
caught in a landslide no escape from reality that was one of the missing ones
499
3833200
7530
64:00
reality reality okay
500
3840730
4190
64:05
a lot of people earlier by the way guess what I showed earlier I actually showed
501
3845310
4600
64:09
the video that I filmed 11 years ago at the wedding of your cousin 11 years ago
502
3849910
9150
64:19
and everyone was saying it seems very strange to see mr. Steve looking so
503
3859060
4920
64:23
serious because you did very serious in the
504
3863980
2639
64:26
video you look very serious yes I can be very serious I'm a bit silly sometimes
505
3866619
5731
64:32
when I'm live with mr. Duncan on a Sunday or a Wednesday but I can but of
506
3872350
6570
64:38
course I expect my family were with us so I have to be very serious then yes he
507
3878920
4500
64:43
has to be on his best behavior I'm the best behaved or he gets he gets a
508
3883420
3240
64:46
smacked bottom no I don't not anymore apparently I have a sweet voice a sweet
509
3886660
8490
64:55
voice the people were enjoying my my rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
510
3895150
6110
65:01
very good got people very excited apparently so so you had a good time
511
3901260
6310
65:07
then and of course I'm guessing that you were very good at the cycling the other
512
3907570
4110
65:11
day because I because you told me that you were beating everyone yes there were
513
3911680
6240
65:17
people I don't cycle at all I've been on a bike for years in yet for some reason
514
3917920
3900
65:21
I was able to to to go faster and longer than people who half my age
515
3921820
6960
65:28
that's incredible so people in their sort of you know late teens that sort of
516
3928780
3300
65:32
thing and so yes it was all good fun and then in the evening of course the idea
517
3932080
5700
65:37
is then that everybody goes for a meal and it's about a hundred of us - most of
518
3937780
5280
65:43
them of course drink far too much mmm alcohol I don't I'm very good when it
519
3943060
6540
65:49
comes to alcohol only because I just don't want to feel horrible the next day
520
3949600
4370
65:53
so I'm watching them all suffering the next day because they've all got severe
521
3953970
4930
65:58
hangovers and they all think I'm being very good but I'm probably older than a
522
3958900
5640
66:04
lot of them so I've done all that when I was younger and I don't I just don't
523
3964540
4200
66:08
want to wake up the next day feeling awful and then having to drive back
524
3968740
3690
66:12
because it's quite dangerous really so I'm probably a bit too sensible these
525
3972430
4650
66:17
days we did some bowling as well ten pin bowling it was all very exciting it
526
3977080
6600
66:23
sounds like it yes I I'm not very good at bowling you know what happens
527
3983680
4290
66:27
whenever I try to bowled the ball I always end up injuring my fingers do you
528
3987970
5670
66:33
forget to let go well I I let go but but I think it's the strain of
529
3993640
4890
66:38
of holding the ball and pushing it forward so so it really does kill my
530
3998530
6270
66:44
fingers I end up with really bad fingers for days afterwards so I'm not a big fan
531
4004800
4980
66:49
of bowling probably a strain on your joints yes I think circle joints I think
532
4009780
5610
66:55
so you've got a strong fingers yeah I've got quite strong fingers and hands and
533
4015390
5060
67:00
you know I chuck the ball down there knock all the pins down yes I can
534
4020450
6220
67:06
imagine with your big banana fingers they would do that we would end up on
535
4026670
5730
67:12
water as well for some reason whenever we have these team-building conferences
536
4032400
4620
67:17
we always end up on water somewhere so you were very good you stayed sober I
537
4037020
5820
67:22
did that's good good I thought to myself I've got to be sharp for mr. Duncan's
538
4042840
6150
67:28
liveing this show on Sunday peso I need to stay sober Applegate normally I like
539
4048990
6480
67:35
to get drunk before your shows oh I see I need joking well unless you have a
540
4055470
5760
67:41
drink down here I can assure you it's pure water okay not not vodka no pure
541
4061230
7290
67:48
water because we do have some some Russian viewers on at the moment so the
542
4068520
5100
67:53
clocks went forward this morning Steve I know it's caused a bit of confusion for
543
4073620
4080
67:57
some people because then it appears to some that we are on at a different time
544
4077700
4380
68:02
but here it's the same time but in some places we are appearing at a different
545
4082080
6000
68:08
time and that's because the clocks went forward summer is on the way but we are
546
4088080
4290
68:12
now in the midst of spring time and I'll tell you something it really for the
547
4092370
6000
68:18
first time it really feels like spring outside it's quite warm the sun's out I
548
4098370
7320
68:25
felt like going out and doing some gardening for the first time you know
549
4105690
5430
68:31
since the new year I've really felt like going out there and and and preparing
550
4111120
4050
68:35
the lawnmower sharpening the blades changing the oil I love doing all that
551
4115170
4320
68:39
we actually watched a program last night didn't we mr. Duncan whether it's
552
4119490
3329
68:42
selling this new lawnmower that it's just empowered by batteries so that
553
4122819
5071
68:47
that's the new type of lawnmowers battery-powered you charge them up but
554
4127890
4430
68:52
they're no fun they're no fun for a bloke who wants to he wants to clean his
555
4132320
6000
68:58
spark plugs and change the oil and put the petrol in and sharpen his blade you
556
4138320
5970
69:04
know these new electric ones are a bit boring I think you seem to be mentioning
557
4144290
3480
69:07
your blade a lot oh yes it needs sharpening you so you've got have a
558
4147770
3270
69:11
sharp blade and a lawnmower that's it otherwise it you'll get left with weird
559
4151040
5970
69:17
tuff there's nothing up properly there's nothing worse than a blunt tool there
560
4157010
4140
69:21
isn't no you need to keep it sharp and a breeze reading because I normally take
561
4161150
4290
69:25
it to be sharpened take it to a specialist who's sharpens lawn mower
562
4165440
5010
69:30
blades because I'm always a bit afraid with with that that if I take it off it
563
4170450
4470
69:34
won't go back on properly and it might spin off somewhere when I'm mowing the
564
4174920
4350
69:39
lawn but I was watching some videos on YouTube last night okay telling me how I
565
4179270
6120
69:45
can remove the blade and sharpen it myself that'll save me about 12 pounds
566
4185390
4290
69:49
but don't forget to be careful you don't want you to cut your fingers or your
567
4189680
3570
69:53
hand off no I won't but it's the last time I took it to be sharp and they
568
4193250
3510
69:56
didn't sharpen it very well I was a bit annoyed so I spent 12 pounds and I
569
4196760
3420
70:00
didn't sharpen it very well so I'm gonna do it myself I might use a grinder along
570
4200180
5490
70:05
the edge remember when I use the grinder in the studio yes that was a very we've
571
4205670
4650
70:10
still got sort of burn marks everywhere where mr. Steve was was sending sparks
572
4210320
5310
70:15
around the studio and he was using it on my head at the time I need a vise that's
573
4215630
5760
70:21
what I need I need a bench and a vise and I can put the blade in the vise and
574
4221390
3690
70:25
then file it down so it's really nice and sharp haven't you got enough vices
575
4225080
4800
70:29
already go into those it's a Sunday afternoon and we are going to explain
576
4229880
6420
70:36
that we're coming towards the end of March oh my god it's April next week
577
4236300
4440
70:40
Steve it's April in an April which means what's coming up have you mentioned
578
4240740
4590
70:45
what's coming up next week not yet we're excited about that I'm very excited I'm
579
4245330
6780
70:52
in fact a little bit of we we came out earlier I was so excited and what a lot
580
4252110
4650
70:56
the smell was because next sunday is Easter
581
4256760
6050
71:03
it's Easter Sunday and of course Easter Sunday is an exciting day for those who
582
4263090
6630
71:09
like eating chocolate and that includes myself and also mr. Steve as well he
583
4269720
5310
71:15
also likes to eat chocolate also next Sunday interestingly enough it's also
584
4275030
5610
71:20
April Fool's Day is it next Sunday Sunday so it's
585
4280640
5400
71:26
actually the 1st of April next Sunday yes so it's also April
586
4286040
4530
71:30
Fool's now I was a bit worried I wasn't sure if you go you were going to play
587
4290570
4620
71:35
any tricks on me for April Fool's Day I wasn't sure that the trick would be I'm
588
4295190
5130
71:40
not buying you any chocolate no I say well I can always buy my own that's
589
4300320
5550
71:45
unusual for April Fool's Day to come on Easter Sunday strange is April Fool's
590
4305870
7590
71:53
Day is always on the 1st of April but of course the the Easter holidays is a
591
4313460
5100
71:58
movable is movable it can be week before or week after mmm as that moves around a
592
4318560
6630
72:05
bit so to fall on the same day as Easter Sunday which is traditionally if you're
593
4325190
6950
72:12
Christian and believe in it into the Christian teachings that so when Christ
594
4332140
5620
72:17
was resurrected okay to have that on the same day as April Fool's Day seems a bit
595
4337760
4590
72:22
strange to me and today today of course is Palm Sunday
596
4342350
3180
72:25
yes Palm Sunday which is a with this of course starts the the Holy Week which is
597
4345530
7350
72:32
in the Christian celebration of the Christian religion this today is the
598
4352880
6120
72:39
start of what's called Holy Week ending in in the Easter Sunday next Sunday so
599
4359000
5850
72:44
we're talking about we like the chocolate but of course a lot of
600
4364850
3900
72:48
religious people watching mice may say to us that that really isn't the main
601
4368750
4290
72:53
point of it is a Sunday we should be thinking about maybe more religious
602
4373040
6450
72:59
aspect Easter is all about the chocolate it is to do a lot of people because some
603
4379490
5970
73:05
to me it is yes it's chocolate that's all I think about I remember when I was
604
4385460
4140
73:09
a kid I was always excited at Easter time I parents would hide the Easter
605
4389600
5400
73:15
eggs around and we could never find them even though
606
4395000
3100
73:18
we tried to find them but for some reason they always had a very good
607
4398100
3510
73:21
hiding place and to this day we never ever found out where our parents hid the
608
4401610
6390
73:28
Easter eggs weeds so this day we did we still don't know where they put them
609
4408000
4020
73:32
oh I see but there they put them somewhere and then obviously you were
610
4412020
4500
73:36
searching the house so they maybe bought them a few days before hmm
611
4416520
3930
73:40
and hid them but you weren't quite naughty children you know your sisters
612
4420450
4320
73:44
used to hunt the house to try and look for them I see the same thing happens at
613
4424770
4890
73:49
Christmas sending hams I would say but you never
614
4429660
2820
73:52
found out where we never found out where I would like to know where they hid them
615
4432480
4290
73:56
so if my mom was watching could you please tell me where you used to hide
616
4436770
3270
74:00
the Easter eggs when we were kids because it up in the loft we still don't
617
4440040
4140
74:04
know look up in the loft we looked in the loft we looked in the
618
4444180
3600
74:07
Attic nothing there so I don't know where they put them so there we go so
619
4447780
4710
74:12
it's Easter Sunday next Sunday we will be here of course with lots and lots of
620
4452490
5850
74:18
Easter eggs I think I mean I'm expecting a really big Easter egg from mr. Steve I
621
4458340
8070
74:26
was trying to think why do we eat Easter eggs on Easter day and I don't on Easter
622
4466410
7350
74:33
Sunday it is remember why it is symbolic symbolic yes it has
623
4473760
6390
74:40
symbolism right this is starting to sound like a religious podcast was it to
624
4480150
6270
74:46
do with the end of Lent it is yes it's a well it's it's symbolic the egg is
625
4486420
5580
74:52
symbolic of I think because it resembles a rock oh right okay the rock that was
626
4492000
7980
74:59
in front of the tomb where Christ was was laid after he was after he was
627
4499980
7110
75:07
crucified on Good Friday which is next Friday have you had some sort of
628
4507090
5700
75:12
Epiphany today no no I'm just relaying what Christians celebrate at this time
629
4512790
6270
75:19
of the year you know lots of Christians out there and lots of people of other
630
4519060
3720
75:22
religions who might be interested you know you know no you know that let
631
4522780
3930
75:26
endorsing it I trust that okay we get it Steve these things are going on so we're
632
4526710
6540
75:33
talking about them I thought maybe because I've got to tell you now that
633
4533250
3510
75:36
the the Abbey in much Wenlock is now closed that there aren't monks there
634
4536760
4890
75:41
anymore I wasn't sure if you were going to to join the monastery or something
635
4541650
4610
75:46
although having said that you've got enough bad habits already that's a joke
636
4546260
5860
75:52
isn't it mr. Duncan hmm about a habit is something that you do regularly which
637
4552120
6780
75:58
could be good or bad for you but a monk's habit is that is what is the
638
4558900
4800
76:03
clothing that he wears with the hood and the brown cloth hmm so yeah there's the
639
4563700
5430
76:09
joke that's it and thank you very much for explaining it so well oh I hope I
640
4569130
5670
76:14
did I'm not sure that I did so it's live English mr. Steve is here
641
4574800
6330
76:21
it's lovely to see you everyone's commenting on how well you look oh and I
642
4581130
5040
76:26
thought I'd look a bit summery because it's it's hot out there it's lovely
643
4586170
5340
76:31
weather and I thought I'll just wear something instead of being covered up
644
4591510
2820
76:34
and it's very hot in your studio it is with all the lights with all the lights
645
4594330
4410
76:38
and I'll tell you something else there are lady Birds we mentioned the lady
646
4598740
3900
76:42
Birds last autumn yes and I went to that mention them on Wednesday night is well
647
4602640
4740
76:47
tonight they're everywhere there's one in crawling over your light there yes
648
4607380
4050
76:51
they're everywhere I don't know how many there are in the house but I've never
649
4611430
3570
76:55
seen so many but what happens is well Steve is some of the lady birds they
650
4615000
4170
76:59
hibernate but they hibernate in very strange places they do indeed around the
651
4619170
5220
77:04
house and then when they wake up they think where am I what's going on it's a
652
4624390
5160
77:09
bit like when you go to sleep sometimes and you wake up suddenly you don't know
653
4629550
4140
77:13
where you are I think that must be the same feeling that the Lady Bird has when
654
4633690
4320
77:18
it wakes up from hibernation I think it must be very similar although sadly we
655
4638010
4980
77:22
have killed quite a few lady birds by accident accidentally stepping on them
656
4642990
5400
77:28
because they keep landing on the carpet and of course you can't see them because
657
4648390
3450
77:31
they're so small so there are lots of dead lady Birds around their house in
658
4651840
4710
77:36
fact at the top of the stairs there is a big pile of dead lady birds that I've
659
4656550
5520
77:42
gathered to throw out later I know they need it
660
4662070
3930
77:46
they need to get outside they've got a bit of energy left from their
661
4666000
2940
77:48
hibernation and they need to get outside quickly and and eat something or drink
662
4668940
6000
77:54
something I guess I don't think whether I mean that lady birds eat aphids don't
663
4674940
4619
77:59
they that feed on other plants but I don't know what they they can't be many
664
4679559
3091
78:02
a feeds around at this time of the year so I wonder what they feed on maybe they
665
4682650
4980
78:07
go into a flower and have some of the nectar yes I yes I know that they feed
666
4687630
5429
78:13
on other insects but maybe they feed on something else at the start of the
667
4693059
3361
78:16
season yes I'd like to know that if anybody knows what lady birds feed on
668
4696420
4110
78:20
before the aphids come along we'd like to know that's very nice
669
4700530
4200
78:24
so what have we got today Steve uh well we have some interesting things we're
670
4704730
4139
78:28
talking about old wives tale ah so what is an old wives tale here it is I'll
671
4708869
6451
78:35
just show you on the screen for those who aren't sure what I said look mr.
672
4715320
4049
78:39
Duncan surely you know that I will have prepared a much better lira
673
4719369
6571
78:45
I must addition yours looks much better I can't wait why let me just get rid of
674
4725940
4830
78:50
this ha ha what a waste of time that was yes you didn't think that well you see
675
4730770
7320
78:58
that dojos we need to prepare more before we come on old wives tale what is
676
4738090
5640
79:03
it it's a widely held belief that is now thought to be unscientific or incorrect
677
4743730
7940
79:11
based really on sort of superstition passed down through the generations
678
4751670
5069
79:16
usually by women but when we say old wives tale we're not talking necessarily
679
4756739
5650
79:22
about married women were just really talking about women it's a slightly
680
4762389
4980
79:27
derogatory term really so it's a bit unfavorable comment to make but it comes
681
4767369
6750
79:34
from sort of hundreds of years ago when people didn't really understand how the
682
4774119
5701
79:39
world worked and they sort of look at something and observe something and and
683
4779820
3719
79:43
and I'm sort of think that that was true and sort of it got passed down over the
684
4783539
4830
79:48
years as a sort of a folklore tale but it was also used to scare children
685
4788369
7941
79:56
- and into not adopting certain behaviors hmm
686
4796310
4830
80:01
so it's quite commonly used to do that don't do that or this will happen to you
687
4801140
4200
80:05
that sort of that sort of thing but often it wasn't true it's like when your
688
4805340
4440
80:09
mum tells you not to play with yourself well says if you play with yourself you
689
4809780
4800
80:14
will go blind that is if you keep if you keep playing down there with yourself
690
4814580
5540
80:20
you'll go blind do you know I saw that one I was looking up old wide tails and
691
4820120
6220
80:26
I thought that's an old wide I'm not gonna mention that one though because
692
4826340
3630
80:29
that's a little rude well it is the Duncan ways in straight away with what
693
4829970
6150
80:36
if there is no subtlety where I am concerned so yeah yes so you might say
694
4836120
5730
80:41
that a good example of an old wives tale is is if is if you you play you play
695
4841850
5130
80:46
down there you have a little bit of an adventure down there you know when you
696
4846980
6720
80:53
are young your mother might say don't do that you will go blind my mother ever
697
4853700
7740
81:01
said that no I think your mother encouraged you to do it just to get you
698
4861440
4140
81:05
out the way the Bible even refers to old wives tales apparently there is a
699
4865580
6060
81:11
mention of it in there telling people to avoid listening to them or believing
700
4871640
6180
81:17
them well I think that's where it comes from I think that's rather that the
701
4877820
2970
81:20
actual expression comes from I think it is again once again we are straying into
702
4880790
4980
81:25
religion it is a I think it is a biblical expression or something it is
703
4885770
6330
81:32
quoted from the Bible when they talk about that so you try to put off people
704
4892100
4880
81:36
you shouldn't really be listening to these old tales and fables you should be
705
4896980
5110
81:42
you know listening to the truth you might you might also say it's a bit like
706
4902090
4560
81:46
fake news yes but I'll wised her there are some that are very old but there are
707
4906650
6000
81:52
some that are a more modern and it's usually yeah so it's usually you to
708
4912650
5340
81:57
scare children or a lot of things to sort of talk about pregnancy or
709
4917990
4590
82:02
childbirth a lot of a lot of old tales come in there and I think but we've just
710
4922580
4950
82:07
explained it but maybe we need to show an example so that people get an idea of
711
4927530
5100
82:12
what well you've mentioned one which was wasn't going to mention myself but
712
4932630
4469
82:17
you've already mentioned it here's another one don't swallow gum or it will
713
4937099
4500
82:21
stay in your stomach for seven years we had this one at school as well except
714
4941599
5221
82:26
the showing gum we're talking about yeah chewing gum
715
4946820
3620
82:30
so you chew the gum and and normally you spit it out or you've disposed of it
716
4950440
5529
82:35
safely somewhere but when I was little and this is the same thing this happened
717
4955969
4831
82:40
to me at school at school we always used to say that if you swallowed chewing gum
718
4960800
5790
82:46
it would stick to your heart and kill you yes and I think that's adults or
719
4966590
5640
82:52
your your mother telling you not to swallow it because they think it's gonna
720
4972230
5550
82:57
be bad for you so they make up a story that will scare you so that you don't
721
4977780
5339
83:03
swallow it in fact if you do swallow chewing gum it isn't dangerous and
722
4983119
7500
83:10
apparently bitter is you your body can't digest and it pretty much comes out the
723
4990619
3600
83:14
same way went in apparently but probably not a good idea to swallow chewing gum
724
4994219
4980
83:19
and so your mother comes up with a story to scare you that's it so you might say
725
4999199
4860
83:24
that swallowing chewing gum is something that they don't want you to do just in
726
5004059
3180
83:27
case you choke on it so to stop you from doing it yeah you choke on it they give
727
5007239
4291
83:31
you a horror story yes because you could breathe in and and and it could go into
728
5011530
4080
83:35
your lungs rattlesnakes cure rheumatism - yeah so anyone from this country
729
5015610
8370
83:43
because you don't have rattlesnakes in the UK surely no one believes that well
730
5023980
4530
83:48
apparently if you it's an old wives tale that you you get a rattlesnake poisonous
731
5028510
9089
83:57
snake kill it boil it up and then eat it or drink the juice and that's supposed
732
5037599
6330
84:03
to you're supposed to keep the venom in as well you don't want a rattlesnake
733
5043929
3781
84:07
that's that where the venom has come out because the venom in it is supposed to
734
5047710
4949
84:12
help you with rheumatism rheumatism of course is that condition which elderly
735
5052659
6091
84:18
people often get where their joints swell up and they're very painful joy
736
5058750
5790
84:24
and that's quite debilitating for for four people as they get older sometimes
737
5064540
5760
84:30
you hear about your grandmother with rheumatism in our joints could be your
738
5070300
4350
84:34
fingers could be your ankles normally your fingers isn't it they will get very
739
5074650
3810
84:38
swollen hmm it's horrible rheumatism it affects all the joints normally in your
740
5078460
4199
84:42
hands and sometimes in your wrist as well very horrible normally affects
741
5082659
5520
84:48
elderly people it does but I tell you who it doesn't do any good for the snake
742
5088179
4560
84:52
the snake doesn't come out of it very well oh definitely not it's not good for
743
5092739
6061
84:58
the snake it's not good for the snake here's another one don't crush your eyes
744
5098800
3689
85:02
all they'll stay that way that's another one old wise tale that that's almost we
745
5102489
6391
85:08
could almost say old mothers tale as well because my mum used to say that to
746
5108880
4230
85:13
me it's also sometimes when I was in a bad mood my mum would say your face will
747
5113110
5460
85:18
stick like that exactly your face will stay like that forever if you keep
748
5118570
4230
85:22
sulking something your mother used just didn't want you to do something so say
749
5122800
5460
85:28
something that will scare you and then you won't do it hmm and it'd be
750
5128260
4140
85:32
interesting actually to look at the live chat we call it old wives tales but
751
5132400
5730
85:38
there must be in every country I would think something similar used to describe
752
5138130
5640
85:43
these old tales that are passed down that really aren't true will based on
753
5143770
4469
85:48
any scientific fact but the people still use today yeah almost like myths so yes
754
5148239
7170
85:55
like a myth really so we call them old wives tales but what are they called
755
5155409
6091
86:01
in your country we'd like to know and if you've got any examples that you use in
756
5161500
5699
86:07
and you just laugh somebody says something who's oh that's an old wise
757
5167199
3781
86:10
tale and you laugh so it'd be interesting to see what you have in your
758
5170980
4710
86:15
countries out there right here's another one
759
5175690
6980
86:22
shaving your hair causes it to grow back thicker a lot of men will be thinking of
760
5182670
6730
86:29
this one especially men men nowadays you know I was watching TV the other night
761
5189400
6270
86:35
Steve and there was a come for a special kind of soap that you put
762
5195670
5700
86:41
on your chest but for men who want to shave their chests me I'm not joking
763
5201370
5820
86:47
it's actually a product now there is a product you just you just smooth it over
764
5207190
5010
86:52
your chest and then shave the hair off your chest you just used shaving cream
765
5212200
5520
86:57
would you like to have a look at my chest
766
5217720
1680
86:59
it's articularly what's your chest like Steve oh I there's a bit of maintenance
767
5219400
4470
87:03
goes on there do you shave your chest I do sometimes yes because it gets very
768
5223870
5100
87:08
itchy and irritating and I think for some men it looks nice but if you've got
769
5228970
11070
87:20
sort of just straggly little bits hmm it's neither one thing nor the other so
770
5240040
6000
87:26
I think sometimes just get rid of it yes some women like hairy men
771
5246040
4260
87:30
yes exactly some women like hairy chests on the land it makes them feel as though
772
5250300
5490
87:35
they read it with a real man a masculine person with lots of testosterone
773
5255790
5660
87:41
what you're gonna say them so yes I think some typing you tend to if you
774
5261450
5260
87:46
depending on what your partner wants or what you want maybe you will either
775
5266710
4340
87:51
maintain that area or not I mean there's lots of other areas of your body you can
776
5271050
4300
87:55
maintain in that way but yes there is an old wise tale that if you shave your
777
5275350
6990
88:02
hair wherever it is on your body it'll grow back thicker most it's totally
778
5282340
5520
88:07
untrue because it just would have got fit it probably appears to get thicker
779
5287860
4680
88:12
but it probably would have done anyway yeah I mean if it was true then any man
780
5292540
6030
88:18
that's shaved it would just get thicker and thicker but it doesn't mean and of
781
5298570
3870
88:22
course the irony is these days what's interesting Steve is that beards have
782
5302440
5760
88:28
become very popular with men but at the same time they're shaving their chests
783
5308200
4670
88:32
very odd they're getting they're getting hair on their face and then they they're
784
5312870
5110
88:37
getting rid of the hair it's on their body isn't that strange yes of course
785
5317980
5160
88:43
beard suits some men better than others and you can see some pretty disastrous
786
5323140
6720
88:49
examples I mean every other presenter on television now in this country has a
787
5329860
5680
88:55
beard and it works for some men and looks awful on others mmm but there you
788
5335540
7770
89:03
go drinking is it but some of these are wise tales they're not all some of them
789
5343310
6570
89:09
are based in our Luke are actually quite true and you can actually say that there
790
5349880
5250
89:15
are wide tales but science has proved that in fact there is some fact behind
791
5355130
4770
89:19
it but there's probably sometimes by accident people discovered if you did
792
5359900
5130
89:25
something it probably did work and so it like for example chicken soup drinking
793
5365030
6780
89:31
chicken soup is good when you've got a cold apparently that's an old what you
794
5371810
4620
89:36
think of that as an old wives tale but in fact it is based in in scientific
795
5376430
5100
89:41
fact now because they've shown that drinking chicken soup it won't cure cure
796
5381530
4560
89:46
you of the cold but it will relieve the symptoms because there's something in
797
5386090
3930
89:50
chicken that apparently reduces the inflammation in your lungs and your
798
5390020
5730
89:55
throat so it appears that it's getting better because it's relieving the
799
5395750
4200
89:59
symptoms so it's not making it better but it appears that it is so there is
800
5399950
3720
90:03
some basis in fact with that so it's almost like something you might compare
801
5403670
5040
90:08
it to like a like a horrible remedy yes so chicken soup apparently is quite good
802
5408710
5550
90:14
for you when you've got a cold here's a here's a sort of an old wives
803
5414260
6150
90:20
tale relating to colds again eating or having vitamin C supplements will
804
5420410
7110
90:27
prevent a cold that has been proved scientifically not to be true at all but
805
5427520
7650
90:35
it's still something that people will say you need vitamin C obviously you
806
5435170
7140
90:42
need some to be healthy but taking lots of it
807
5442310
3570
90:45
won't prevent a cold and it won't actually stop you getting one it won't
808
5445880
5310
90:51
really help the symptoms either we had in this country many years ago we
809
5451190
5670
90:56
had a research centre which was based solely on their sole purpose was to try
810
5456860
5580
91:02
and cure the common cold it was get went for the decades in the end they they
811
5462440
5550
91:07
abandoned it because they couldn't find anything that actually worked
812
5467990
2910
91:10
let's vitamin C was one of them I think some studies show that if you have a
813
5470900
5700
91:16
high dose of vitamin C might slightly reduce the in how long a cold lasts but
814
5476600
8820
91:25
generally it doesn't really do anything so you might or just have an orange a
815
5485420
5400
91:30
day and be done with it so do you know some this is another old wives tale can
816
5490820
6090
91:36
you believe this one smoking prevents colds oh my goodness
817
5496910
5130
91:42
now that is actually true held belief in some countries that's smoking because
818
5502040
7380
91:49
the idea is that you've got all this poisonous smoke going down well put in
819
5509420
4110
91:53
some way kill off the bugs that if you flew but of course it doesn't do that
820
5513530
6570
92:00
no it just killed a person off yes eventually killer I've literally had
821
5520100
4860
92:04
conversations with people who come from won't say which country and they said oh
822
5524960
4020
92:08
no smoking is good for you it actually strengthens you and it'll
823
5528980
3600
92:12
stops you getting colds that's actually a belief that is held well as a way of
824
5532580
4530
92:17
encouraging people to smoke in China they actually say that it will make you
825
5537110
4260
92:21
stronger Yeah right there we go yes in China it was part of the marketing so
826
5541370
5220
92:26
that they have a very very very high number of people who smoke in China it
827
5546590
6180
92:32
is absolutely incredible how many people smoke in China and even this day to this
828
5552770
5910
92:38
day it still encouraged a lot because the cigarette manufacturers want people
829
5558680
6120
92:44
to smoke basically imagine imagine the size of China and if even just half of
830
5564800
6720
92:51
China smoked how many cigarettes you are selling
831
5571520
4050
92:55
every year but you could sort of believe why people would think that because you
832
5575570
4980
93:00
know smoking all that poisonous you know you could you would imagine that it
833
5580550
4170
93:04
might actually kill off the germs mmm but of course what it's doing is
834
5584720
4830
93:09
reducing your immune systems ability to fight the cold in the first
835
5589550
3819
93:13
in theory it seems as if it would work in theory it seems though it might do
836
5593369
4651
93:18
something a little of what's bad for you does you good but in the case of Smokey
837
5598020
4619
93:22
Joe the rule doesn't apply there that's like saying if you jump under a bus
838
5602639
6241
93:28
if you jump under a bus then you can you you'll you will live forever yeah buses
839
5608880
5549
93:34
will never harm you he's another old wise tower reading in
840
5614429
4201
93:38
dim light is bad for your eyes yes reading in dim light is bad for your
841
5618630
5700
93:44
eyes so do you think that's an old wives tale well apparently it is an old wives
842
5624330
4050
93:48
tale and reading in dim light does not harm your eyes at all using your eyes
843
5628380
6569
93:54
doesn't harm your eyes but the only thing that really harms them is looking
844
5634949
7141
94:02
in indirectly at the Sun and that will harm your eyes but actually just using
845
5642090
6899
94:08
your eyes I mean it might be difficult you might get a bit of strain but it
846
5648989
4440
94:13
won't harm them because the eyes are recover so apparently that's rubbish
847
5653429
4281
94:17
feed a cold starve a fever is my mother always used to say that so if you've got
848
5657710
8620
94:26
a cold if you've got a temperature the fever you should not eat anything
849
5666330
4680
94:31
and if you've just got like the common cold sniffles a sore throat you should
850
5671010
5370
94:36
eat more and freaking and to feed it to fight it off apparently that's been
851
5676380
4410
94:40
proved to be rubbish as well you should if you feel you should eat on both okay
852
5680790
4079
94:44
when you're ill you should always eat apparently because it's strengthening
853
5684869
2671
94:47
you the last thing you should do when you're real is starve yourself because
854
5687540
3300
94:50
that is not going to help your recovery apparently but of course if if you're
855
5690840
4859
94:55
not gonna feel like eating probably if you've got a bad fever probably if
856
5695699
5821
95:01
you've got a cold it's not gonna your cold doesn't put you off eating but if
857
5701520
3329
95:04
you've got a high temperature of fever like the flu and then you probably don't
858
5704849
5100
95:09
feel like eating particularly if you've got gastric upset as well but you should
859
5709949
4531
95:14
try and eat something even if it's just chicken soup because that will be good
860
5714480
4949
95:19
for you apparently yeah an apple a day keeps the doctor away is
861
5719429
8671
95:28
true okay that's not open that so an apple a day keeps the doctor away is not
862
5728100
5980
95:34
an old wives tale it well is it is a sort of an old wives tale but in fact it
863
5734080
6450
95:40
is based on truth because apples are full of antioxidants vitamin C nutrition
864
5740530
7040
95:47
so it's actually part of a healthy diet so if you do eat not necessarily just
865
5747570
7570
95:55
apples but fruit then that will be good for you because everyone knows that
866
5755140
5760
96:00
fruit is good for you so if you have an apple every day it's going to be good
867
5760900
3600
96:04
for you because it's full of vitamins and minerals and nutrients too to help
868
5764500
5280
96:09
you be well so in fact it is a good idea not necessarily an apple but fruit it's
869
5769780
8340
96:18
good for you yes so you might say some fruit a day or well here of course we
870
5778120
5280
96:23
have this obsession now with having five things every day that are healthy for
871
5783400
3930
96:27
you so it kind of seems to be based on that yeah at original idea opening an
872
5787330
6870
96:34
umbrella indoors that's a more modern one of course so the umbrella hasn't
873
5794200
4410
96:38
been around for centuries but opening an umbrella indoors is bad luck hmm
874
5798610
7760
96:46
now I've this is something I always if I ever have an umbrella I don't like that
875
5806370
6310
96:52
must have been instilled on me from a young age maybe by my mother I don't
876
5812680
4410
96:57
know but I always feel very uncomfortable opening an umbrella
877
5817090
4410
97:01
indoors because that's something that has been drummed into me for me a young
878
5821500
5460
97:06
a young age where it comes from I don't know maybe because they're quite big and
879
5826960
5370
97:12
if you leave them lying around you might trip over them that's probably where it
880
5832330
3900
97:16
comes from but I would imagine it's probably
881
5836230
2340
97:18
because you would only really use an umbrella outside but when it's raining
882
5838570
4110
97:22
so if you to use inside it's like a superstition or like an umbrella inside
883
5842680
4740
97:27
because you never see it it's very unusual so maybe it comes from a bit of
884
5847420
5100
97:32
superstition as well but I never feel comfortable
885
5852520
3180
97:35
opening an umbrella indoors which you sometimes do if it's all wet and you
886
5855700
4360
97:40
want to dry it out hmm so yes that's an old wives tale but
887
5860060
4460
97:44
maybe it's you know baby it's just but maybe it's superstition maybe it's
888
5864520
5080
97:49
because you might trip over it and cause an injury so what if there's a leak in
889
5869600
3960
97:53
your house what if there's a leak in your room and you want to stay dry you
890
5873560
4070
97:57
might want to put your umbrella up to stay dry so you can't do that so instead
891
5877630
4960
98:02
you just get soaking wet and get pneumonia and then die maybe put the
892
5882590
4290
98:06
umbrella on the roof that might be that might be better yes yes yeah to be
893
5886880
5010
98:11
honest I don't believe in any of that so I have I have many times opened an
894
5891890
5220
98:17
umbrella indoors what's happened to you nothing that's what's happened nothing
895
5897110
6630
98:23
if you break a mirror you'll have seven years of bad luck
896
5903740
4320
98:28
yeah I think these are sort of verging into superstition now though yes but
897
5908060
5160
98:33
they're sort of it comes under old wives tale okay apparently have I got any more
898
5913220
6240
98:39
as anybody what have we got on the live chat I want to see what fever always
899
5919460
3330
98:42
another one wait an hour after eating before you go for a swim before you'll
900
5922790
5970
98:48
get cramps and drowned is that is that a load of rubbish sort of apparently you
901
5928760
7170
98:55
can eat you can go for a swim straight out of eating but you probably shouldn't
902
5935930
5550
99:01
if it's a big heavy meal you feel uncomfortable hmm you can sort of get
903
5941480
5850
99:07
cramps if you go into cold water after having a heavy meal and there are cases
904
5947330
4770
99:12
where people have said to have died as a result of that so but I think you know
905
5952100
4950
99:17
if you just have a light snack and then go for a swim it's probably perfectly
906
5957050
3900
99:20
all right yes you might eat you might eat some food that's very bulky and very
907
5960950
4470
99:25
heavy yes you might eat a bowling ball and then jump in the water and then of
908
5965420
5130
99:30
course you sink straight to the bottom apparently there's no evidence to
909
5970550
3210
99:33
suggest that it is bad for you but you probably would struggle if you were a
910
5973760
5700
99:39
weak swimmer because if you've had a heavy meal you'll be a bit tired and
911
5979460
4770
99:44
your body won't want to exercise because all the oxygen is going into your
912
5984230
4260
99:48
stomach digest the food so you may struggle if
913
5988490
3890
99:52
say got very choppy the waves and you really had to exert a lot of energy you
914
5992380
5950
99:58
may struggle a bit on the heavy meal you'd certainly find it more difficult
915
5998330
2909
100:01
to swim just in the same ways you couldn't go for a run after a swim
916
6001239
4110
100:05
because it would be very uncomfortable what a term one that I remember from my
917
6005349
4080
100:09
childhood was was pointing towards a rainbow if you pointed at a rainbow I
918
6009429
7020
100:16
was told that you would get bad luck oh right but that's an old wives tale
919
6016449
5460
100:21
y'all writer apparently another one is pointing at a at a funeral car a funeral
920
6021909
6151
100:28
course says you know when Oh and everyone's going past or being in the
921
6028060
4200
100:32
back of the funeral car that's very bad look that not an old wives tale that's
922
6032260
5550
100:37
an actual fact if you're in the back of a funeral car you are having a very bad
923
6037810
3690
100:41
day pointing at a funeral possession is parented and walking on a grave that is
924
6041500
6780
100:48
an old wives tale if you walk in a grave you will you will suck up the spirit of
925
6048280
4589
100:52
the dead person and then something bad will happen to you that's a an old wives
926
6052869
4500
100:57
tale as well of course you don't really want to step onto graves you might fall
927
6057369
4411
101:01
in you never know if it's an open one it's the same thing why you wouldn't
928
6061780
4109
101:05
step on a drain cover but this is always a slight risk you might fall into the
929
6065889
4681
101:10
drain that's it or maybe also avoiding cracks in the pavement or cracks in the
930
6070570
4980
101:15
pavement you might fall over so I think most of these old wives tales seem to be
931
6075550
6899
101:22
preventative yeah a lot of them are to do with yes stopping things bad
932
6082449
5221
101:27
happening to you or maybe they're related because of course hundreds of
933
6087670
4980
101:32
years ago people don't really understand how things happen they apparently
934
6092650
4080
101:36
another one if if a woman when she's pregnant it's an old wives tale it turns
935
6096730
4739
101:41
out it's true if a pregnant woman and I've never heard
936
6101469
4500
101:45
of this one it's just so bizarre you won't believe it if a pregnant woman
937
6105969
3451
101:49
gets bad acid reflux when she's pregnant it means the baby will have a full head
938
6109420
7590
101:57
of hair when it's born and can you believe it
939
6117010
4200
102:01
apparently they've done a study and it shows that it's in fact true
940
6121210
3800
102:05
because the hormones involved in that will make a woman have bad acid reflux
941
6125010
6820
102:11
and a lot of women do get problems with acid reflux severe indigestion
942
6131830
5310
102:17
survey indigestion apparently the hormone involved in regulating that will
943
6137140
5340
102:22
also be the same hormone that ensures that your baby has a lot of hair on its
944
6142480
4620
102:27
head when it's born Australia apparently there is a connection so it would not an
945
6147100
3990
102:31
old wives tale there are lots of old wives tales surrounding pregnancy with
946
6151090
5120
102:36
mainly concerned with whether you have a boy or a girl hmm
947
6156210
3880
102:40
if certain conditions are in place all that means you can have a girl or all
948
6160090
3870
102:43
that means you're gonna have a boy that most of those are completely untrue
949
6163960
3630
102:47
conceiving on a Wednesday that sort of thing yes conceiving whilst both both
950
6167590
6510
102:54
people involved are standing on their heads yeah there are lots like that
951
6174100
6210
103:00
surrounding pregnancy but there we go have we got anything on the live chat
952
6180310
4429
103:04
well most of its most of its been in gone so let's have a look at the live
953
6184739
5411
103:10
chat and look about old wives tales let other can you see the screen in front of
954
6190150
9150
103:19
you I can indeed Shelby do you think eating dog meat will push away all the
955
6199300
4140
103:23
bad luck I'm not sure oh that's that's obviously coming from somewhere well I
956
6203440
4200
103:27
can't read but who where that's from I think that's coming from Vietnam but it
957
6207640
3930
103:31
isn't lucky for the dog no it's it's definitely not
958
6211570
5160
103:36
lucky for the dog maybe it's not not actual meat made from dogs maybe it's
959
6216730
5040
103:41
just dog meat that you would oh here's a good one Valentin says one more example
960
6221770
4890
103:46
if you encounter a woman with an empty bucket you will have a bad day oh that's
961
6226660
5880
103:52
definitely an old wives tale yes never heard of that one I've not actually
962
6232540
3960
103:56
heard of that one maybe that means that you know hundreds of years ago a woman
963
6236500
4800
104:01
was sent out or was got went out to get water from the well and if she didn't
964
6241300
6870
104:08
get in it she had an empty bucket which means you'll have an unlucky day because
965
6248170
3270
104:11
you won't be able to find the water either yeah so she's having a bad day so
966
6251440
3270
104:14
maybe you'll have as day as well walking under the rain will
967
6254710
4560
104:19
cause you to lose your hair there's Olga well it's true maybe I
968
6259270
5850
104:25
didn't have an umbrella when I was younger that's it walking under the
969
6265120
3120
104:28
ladder yes don't walk under a ladder well that that well
970
6268240
5370
104:33
take your pick there probably if you walk under a ladder and there's somebody
971
6273610
3030
104:36
above you carrying something then it might fall in your head so yeah that's
972
6276640
5130
104:41
definitely I think is a good idea avoid walking under a ladder yes so some of
973
6281770
6450
104:48
these are kind of superstitions really yes but the old the old wives tales that
974
6288220
6420
104:54
there is also another expression you can use Steve and that is urban myth
975
6294640
5730
105:00
urban myth an urban myth and that's very similar but they are often modern yeah
976
6300370
10080
105:10
modern myths so things that people believe did happen but actually didn't
977
6310450
5580
105:16
for example in the film three men in a baby with Tom Selleck Ted Danson and the
978
6316030
7830
105:23
other guy that no one can remember ever there is supposed to be a ghost that
979
6323860
5820
105:29
appears in the movie during one scene there is a scene where they are actually
980
6329680
4470
105:34
at a window and apparently the the the thought or the belief is that there is a
981
6334150
6510
105:40
ghost in that scene behind one of the characters in the movie but a lot of
982
6340660
5850
105:46
people have agreed that it is just an urban myth it is an urban myth it is
983
6346510
6720
105:53
something that people believe but isn't actually real it's just an urban myth
984
6353230
5630
105:58
yeah another one he's another one is that this is one of my favorite ones
985
6358860
4870
106:03
because I am into music there was a song in the charts many years ago called
986
6363730
5160
106:08
Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty and I loved this one and there was a an urban
987
6368890
9120
106:18
myth that in that song there is a there is a saxophone being played
988
6378010
8570
106:28
do-do-do-do-do-do parody it was supposed to have been played by a well-known TV
989
6388739
7061
106:35
presenter called Bob Holness right and that was the the crazy crazy myth that
990
6395800
7410
106:43
this TV presenter was the was the saxophone player on Baker Street by
991
6403210
7920
106:51
Gerry Rafferty which was a big hit in the late 1970s so that could have come
992
6411130
5190
106:56
about because maybe somewhere at someone somewhere saw saw this presenter playing
993
6416320
4860
107:01
a saxophone and somehow this story started yes yeah that's more yes that's
994
6421180
7289
107:08
that's more of a sort of a story about something that isn't true an urban myth
995
6428469
5821
107:14
has to be a slight difference whereas the the old wise tales are supposed to
996
6434290
4500
107:18
be based on fact because they're not yes another urban myth not normally in local
997
6438790
6000
107:24
areas as well you might have urban myths for example where we live there is
998
6444790
6060
107:30
supposed to be someone that walks around at night the Beast the Beast
999
6450850
4380
107:35
yes where we live so yes so that's a bit of a urban myth so there are lots of
1000
6455230
7140
107:42
urban myths around the UK so if you go from one place to another you will find
1001
6462370
5970
107:48
all of these little stories these little urban myths about what happens in that
1002
6468340
6540
107:54
area or maybe something that a lot of people believe happen but actually in
1003
6474880
6300
108:01
reality it didn't nowadays of course we call it Wikipedia people get a lot of
1004
6481180
8820
108:10
their information from Wikipedia yeah there's also a lot of false information
1005
6490000
3360
108:13
on Wikipedia as well so yes let's let's not dwell too much on that anymore
1006
6493360
7050
108:20
urban myths mr. Steve I've just about run out now I don't have any more or old
1007
6500410
6240
108:26
wives tales oh count sheep to fall asleep hmm that's so that's what your
1008
6506650
6540
108:33
mother would tell you but it is sort of part apparently that's true if you count
1009
6513190
4020
108:37
sheep then it distracts you from the worries
1010
6517210
4470
108:41
of the day and the visual element of seeing the sheep jumping out of an over
1011
6521680
5640
108:47
a fence or something distracts you from that the worries of the day because
1012
6527320
4290
108:51
don't you find mr. Duncan I know I do whenever I I might be very sleepy when
1013
6531610
5430
108:57
I'm watching the television downstairs before going to bed I might even start
1014
6537040
3990
109:01
to nod off and then I get get ready for bed getting to bed and then suddenly my
1015
6541030
5040
109:06
mind's very active hmm all the worries and the problems of the day come back
1016
6546070
4200
109:10
and all the worries of the next day and it's very difficult to shut that off
1017
6550270
4170
109:14
sometimes but something like counting sheep
1018
6554440
4740
109:19
and it does actually work because it parently totally distracts your mind
1019
6559180
4950
109:24
away from this thing that your things you're worrying about just enough for
1020
6564130
4620
109:28
you to just go off into the land of knowledge I think it's very similar to
1021
6568750
4920
109:33
sort of meditation though yes that's right it's rain down because your brain
1022
6573670
4799
109:38
is staying in one place it's it's focusing on one particular thing so I
1023
6578469
4741
109:43
think it must be very similar to meditation so I can understand how that
1024
6583210
4050
109:47
might work talking of Dreams mr. Steve Dreams yes I
1025
6587260
5700
109:52
had a very strange dream last night and a parrot that you did as well yes I did
1026
6592960
5160
109:58
actually we both we both this morning we were
1027
6598120
3119
110:01
talking this morning about our dreams and Steve had a weird dream and I had a
1028
6601239
6241
110:07
weird dream my my dream was was sort of I think it was something like the
1029
6607480
6480
110:13
x-files where I discovered this secret lab where things were going on that were
1030
6613960
5640
110:19
very unusual and there was this very strange it was a human being but it was
1031
6619600
5610
110:25
very very deformed and it was highly intelligent very intelligent but it
1032
6625210
5910
110:31
didn't look like a person look like something out of alien in in one of
1033
6631120
3960
110:35
those flasks yes it looks like one of those things it didn't quite work out so
1034
6635080
4380
110:39
so like they tried to develop something but it didn't turn out very well
1035
6639460
4920
110:44
but this this particular misshapen weird-looking human was very small
1036
6644380
7020
110:51
it didn't have hands or arms it just had these strange little little pointed
1037
6651400
5630
110:57
spikes that came out of its body but the strange thing is it could do these
1038
6657030
5290
111:02
amazing things it could play the piano it actually played the piano in my dream
1039
6662320
5580
111:07
and also it was very intelligent what did you eat before you went to bed
1040
6667900
4620
111:12
mister but it couldn't speak but it could it could communicate by typing and
1041
6672520
5430
111:17
it was very intelligent and then eventually in the dream I discover that
1042
6677950
5340
111:23
this poor little creature is being held against its will it doesn't want to be
1043
6683290
4560
111:27
there so I rescue it and take it outside and that's it so I let it go but when
1044
6687850
7350
111:35
it's outside something very strange happens to it it starts to dissolve and
1045
6695200
5550
111:40
break apart and inside there is another animal that then just runs away and then
1046
6700750
6960
111:47
the dream slowly fades away so that's that's my strange dream I'm sure a
1047
6707710
6590
111:54
psychologist would be able to understand what you were thinking of or if you've
1048
6714300
7360
112:01
got any problems that needs sorting out in your life did you have any because of
1049
6721660
5040
112:06
course that's a bit of an old wives tale again isn't it that if you eat cheese
1050
6726700
3180
112:09
before you go to bed yes then that will make you dream parently there's a bit of
1051
6729880
6210
112:16
truth in that yes as well and I certainly know if I have cheese I dream
1052
6736090
5370
112:21
quite vividly but apparently if you eat anything before you go to bed it it will
1053
6741460
7830
112:29
sort of get your digestive system going which at the same time makes your mind
1054
6749290
5100
112:34
more active so eating before you go to bed anything is a bad idea because it's
1055
6754390
6570
112:40
it's activating your mind at this because you you you've work your body's
1056
6760960
3240
112:44
working a way to digest the food and apparently it makes you your mind active
1057
6764200
3450
112:47
as well yes so it's may not but there is something in cheese tryptophan I think
1058
6767650
6000
112:53
it's called tryptophan an amino acid that apparently it's sort of excite your
1059
6773650
4770
112:58
brain a bit so you might have more vivid dreams I have a feeling that your brain
1060
6778420
4800
113:03
Steve might have a lot tryptophan in it I think it's an amino
1061
6783220
5620
113:08
acid I think tryptophan R we corrected there by somebody very interesting so
1062
6788840
4890
113:13
what about your dream mr. Steve you had a very weird dream as well
1063
6793730
4170
113:17
in class it involved that involved a very important person in this yes I was
1064
6797900
6360
113:24
it was something to do with the prime minister of this country and I was I was
1065
6804260
3510
113:27
some kind of spy yeah or some kind of working for mi5 or some not a spy I
1066
6807770
5610
113:33
think I was working for mi5 or some intelligence agency no strain - isn't it
1067
6813380
5400
113:38
pardon that's the same thing a secret agent yes that sort of but I wasn't a
1068
6818780
4410
113:43
secret agent I was sort of I was trying to protect I don't know there was some
1069
6823190
3660
113:46
information about the prime minister that shouldn't go get out and I was
1070
6826850
6240
113:53
helping to protect this information away from that from the press and from the
1071
6833090
5550
113:58
public but I knew what this critical bad bit of information was it might damage
1072
6838640
7200
114:05
the Prime Minister and I prevented it from getting out but because because I
1073
6845840
5460
114:11
knew about it I had to be killed by these by the Secret Service so there was
1074
6851300
6660
114:17
this chap trying to kill me and trying to slit my throat at all it was horrible
1075
6857960
4350
114:22
Oh run away and I was and and I it got quite mad I had to get a a new phone and
1076
6862310
7230
114:29
sort of faked my identity out I went to a joke shop and bought a wig shop what
1077
6869540
5670
114:35
was it a clown wig I don't know but I I sort of you know what can happen when
1078
6875210
5070
114:40
late at night when you're dreaming sometimes when you wake up you actually
1079
6880280
3330
114:43
wake up but you want the dream to continue so you just sort of it you sort
1080
6883610
4050
114:47
of carry on in this sort of you're sort of not quite conscious not quite awake
1081
6887660
4740
114:52
state but the dream is still going on sometimes you leave wake up and you want
1082
6892400
4710
114:57
the dream to continue because it doesn't end and you want to see how it ends it's
1083
6897110
3900
115:01
quite frustrating sometimes isn't it dreams yes I had before I went to bed
1084
6901010
4530
115:05
probably a bar of chocolate well I eat a lot of chocolate last night so that's
1085
6905540
4320
115:09
probably the reason why it oh we had some cheese and onion crisps
1086
6909860
3750
115:13
er cheese that's what it was it could that although I have a feeling that
1087
6913610
6930
115:20
there isn't much cheese in those particular crisps I think most of it is
1088
6920540
4020
115:24
just chemicals and colors might have been just enough to get our fevered
1089
6924560
3900
115:28
imaginations going it's very strange though that you had a
1090
6928460
3150
115:31
weird dream and I had a weird dream as well very strange we are going soon the
1091
6931610
6060
115:37
mystery the mystery idioms let's have a quick look at the mystery idioms here
1092
6937670
5069
115:42
they are before we go and there is the second one that is something we all do
1093
6942739
5521

4200
119:21
night as well I hope you can join me just before we go let's have a look at
1131
7161010
4680
119:25
the mystery idioms mystery idiom I can't guess that one mr. Duncan you can't
1132
7165690
6720
119:32
guess that one the answer is get caught in red tape how you get caught in red
1133
7172410
5520
119:37
tape the meaning to be prevented from doing something due to complex rules
1134
7177930
5580
119:43
and regulations you get caught in red tape and all Hatton Lee and the umbrella
1135
7183510
8310
119:51
was confusing me there okay and the second one this is something we all do
1136
7191820
6390
119:58
everyone does it we did have some correct answers to this
1137
7198210
4170
120:02
one spend a penny spend a penny the meaning to urinate or go to the toilet
1138
7202380
9449
120:11
for a pee pee or a wee-wee is to spend a penny if you spend a penny you go to the
1139
7211829
7230
120:19
toilet because of course many years ago in order to go to a public toilet in
1140
7219059
5821
120:24
order to get in you had to you had to put a penny in it in a slot that's it so
1141
7224880
5489
120:30
that's where it comes from so that's why we say you spend a penny it was always a
1142
7230369
4080
120:34
penny to go to the toilet in a public toilet it always cost you a penny I
1143
7234449
3241
120:37
think nowadays I think nowadays it's a pound yes well you used to have to pay
1144
7237690
5730
120:43
then it was free but now you have to pay again now yes I'll tell you something if
1145
7243420
3750
120:47
I was paying a pound to use a public toilet
1146
7247170
2670
120:49
I would I would make sure I had everything saved up it would be coming
1147
7249840
4259
120:54
out of every single hole I've been on holiday to countries where you where
1148
7254099
7560
121:01
there isn't a slot machine there's a man in a kiosk and you have to give a coin
1149
7261659
3321
121:04
on your way in to go to the toilet there because it's paying for the upkeep of
1150
7264980
4000
121:08
the toilet and somebody to clean it in Malaysia yes that's right in Malaysia
1151
7268980
4500
121:13
and also in China in some places as well you have to give a few were a few Sen to
1152
7273480
5849
121:19
someone or if you were maybe maybe one jao in the UK it was a coin called a
1153
7279329
6690
121:26
penny so there we go I think we've cleared that one up the
1154
7286019
4261
