19
131690

20
137269
5461

02:35
leave that we are here now Steve talking live from our from our big trip we set
23
155670
6780
02:42
off this morning from Birmingham Airport it took 55 minutes to fly here so that's
24
162450
9000
02:51
actually a very big clue that's a clue as to where we are so so only 55 minutes
25
171450
5789
02:57
by plane so it is somewhere in Europe so we are now in a European country and
26
177239
10381
03:07
also a European city but if we gone west we'd have ended up in the Atlantic Ocean
27
187620
6440
03:14
but we have gone there one thing for certain it's very very dusty it's very
28
194060
9610
03:23
dusty here it's very dusty I'm going to be honest with you I'm very surprised by
29
203670
5910
03:29
how dusty it is here there is dust dirt lots of people and it's also very noisy
30
209580
6450
03:36
as well oh it's okay it's alright Steve is telling me to stay there because he
31
216030
7410
03:43
thinks we're going to get robbed but I think we're okay so hello to everyone on
32
223440
5190
03:48
the livestream it's very nice to see you here I always get I always put I was
33
228630
5579
03:54
turning around then okay Steve yes okay Steve that's fine don't worry and also
34
234209
5791
04:00
we have lots of people here on the live chat saying hello we are trying not to
35
240000
5670
04:05
give away where we are Steve is just scaring me now
36
245670
4319
04:09
he keeps saying that there are people who want to come over yes I know I know
37
249989
6300
04:16
but the problem is the problem is there is a large digger now making lots of
38
256289
4741
04:21
noise I must admit I like to look after mr. tongue okay good
39
261030
5430
04:26
this is not how I imagined this place I I'm a bit surprised okay shall we tell
40
266460
6269
04:32
people where we are I think just in case we can't do it for very long I think we
41
272729
6271
04:39
may need to reveal where we are ci mr. Duncan's bodyguard so you know
42
279000
4380
04:43
anyone comes along yes I'm going I'm going to act tough yes Steve said
43
283380
4569
04:47
this is a lovely place to do some live streaming and I said yes it does look
44
287949
4261
04:52
very clear there aren't many people here but now I've realized why it's because
45
292210
5209
04:57
there is lots of noise there I don't know why the place we are in at the
46
297419
4481
05:01
moment that there seems to be a lot of construction taking place a lot of
47
301900
4799
05:06
renovation taking place in this particular city
48
306699
3240
05:09
so that might actually give some clues as to where we are shall we reveal where
49
309939
6450
05:16
we are Steve yes see I've got my I've got my bodyguard glasses on nobody'll
50
316389
6090
05:22
mess with me if they see these mister don't but I have to keep their lookout
51
322479
3990
05:26
Holland someone has said Holland not Holland no somewhere else not Holland
52
326469
6391
05:32
definitely not Holland okay we are now going to reveal a place in which we are
53
332860
5730
05:38
talking to you live now and see if you can guess where it is okay here we go
54
338590
6299
05:44
the big the big root well you have to come over here Steve okay then we're not
55
344889
5971
05:50
in the studio now I ready for these people to go by okay then I look I live
56
350860
6419
05:57
further general from there unfortunately we don't know much of the local language
57
357279
3781
06:01
so we're that's not gonna help us oh yes that's that's another clue there is also
58
361060
4770
06:05
a local language here as well so it's not English English is not spoken in
59
365830
6059
06:11
this particular place so there is another clue
60
371889
3691
06:15
I really do wish that I bought my reading glasses with me because I can't
61
375580
4619
06:20
see the live cubicle says Kim Italy says Alice no Spanish no Isabel it's not
62
380199
7291
06:27
Spain maybe somebody's already said where it is and we haven't somebody's
63
387490
7769
06:35
got it right somebody somebody's got it right but he's got it right
64
395259
3241
06:38
well done Oh Maria says it sounds like Steve it sounds like you have hay fever
65
398500
9860
06:48
let's just say a couple of people have got it can you it's just very they've
66
408360
6580
06:54
got it right and judging they've got it right it seems by
67
414940
3600
06:58
looking at the state of the area we are they are noticing that it's very dirty
68
418540
5640
07:04
where we are okay here we go the big reveal is coming up are you ready are
69
424180
4710
07:08
you ready to see where we are come over here Steve you have to know
70
428890
5370
07:14
where I am I never know where mr. Duncan I think I think Steve is new to this
71
434260
5700
07:19
broadcasting here we go ready we're going to turn the camera we're
72
439960
4260
07:24
going to turn the camera round three three two one
73
444220
9860
07:37
did it did it did it did yes we are at the moment in Paris the most romantic
74
457110
23650
08:00
place in the world also it is the most dustiest place in the world either I've
75
480760
8160
08:08
never been to such a dusty place I don't know why but the ground just let's just
76
488920
5190
08:14
have a look at the ground let me just show you the ground the ground here is
77
494110
4260
08:18
just dust and it's everywhere and that's the reason why mr. Steve has been
78
498370
5760
08:24
sneezing his head off because everywhere is very dusty not only that but there
79
504130
6510
08:30
are people everywhere as well now this this area here isn't very busy as you
80
510640
5730
08:36
can see but not very far away from where we were just walking there are so many
81
516370
5400
08:41
people aren't there Steve mr. Duncan yes and I think we were a bit surprised by
82
521770
7110
08:48
the dust but we're getting over that because this is a holiday and we're
83
528880
5220
08:54
having a fabulous time and it's getting very hot it must be at least 24 25
84
534100
4860
08:58
degrees here are we going up the Eiffel Tower mr. Duncan we are not going up the
85
538960
5940
09:04
Eiffel Tower but we will stand here and look at the Eiffel Tower
86
544900
3720
09:08
now the Eiffel Tower a lot of people ask how did the eiffel tower get its name
87
548620
6469
09:15
well when they first showed the design for this tower to a group of architects
88
555089
7961
09:23
they all said Oh sacre bleu that is a awful tower so that's how the
89
563050
8430
09:31
awful Tower got its name because people thought it looked awful
90
571480
5190
09:36
is that right Steve I don't know you've looked up the history but certainly it's
91
576670
5940
09:42
very impressive no I'm just joking actually Steve no no of course it's it's
92
582610
4440
09:47
named after Gustav I fell there we go so that's it I was just joking you see I
93
587050
6690
09:53
was just thinking I've got an idea why don't you stay live I'll go up to the
94
593740
5339
09:59
top of the Eiffel Tower and then I'll wave to you but that is a terrible idea
95
599079
6271
10:05
shall we move around slightly because I'm this this this might be the most
96
605350
4739
10:10
look at look at the place that we're in it looks like we're in the middle of a
97
610089
3841
10:13
desert we're not in the desert this is actually the center of Paris at the
98
613930
4920
10:18
moment and it's a go on Steve you can do it anything I'm looking I'm looking to
99
618850
8940
10:27
see if Lewis is here oh okay because Lewis lives in Paris yes that's great
100
627790
7310
10:35
okay so I'm looking to see if he's on today okay and whether he can see that
101
635100
5289
10:40
we're here so yes Lewis are you there so what why would that be interesting well
102
640389
6510
10:46
because one of our viewers probably could be walking right under the Eiffel
103
646899
4531
10:51
Tower as we speak you know you know royal view is you know that the chances
104
651430
5190
10:56
of that you know Paris is a pretty big city and France is a very big country it
105
656620
6300
11:02
is it is so we ought to we ought to say a few French words Bonjour Bonjour
106
662920
6719
11:09
comment allez-vous Bonjour Madame's Amos yours Jim Appel Monsieur
107
669639
6240
11:15
Duncan how's that merci merci can you see he's trying to keep me out
108
675879
6241
11:22
of the camry he's pushing me out of the cab no what I'm trying to do is get the
109
682120
3449
11:25
eye tower behind us oh that's a good idea no
110
685569
3671
11:29
Steve I'm not trying to get rid of you I'm trying to still look yes there Steve
111
689240
4620
11:33
I don't know why but Steve quite often forgets that you need to have a
112
693860
4950
11:38
microphone near you before you actually speak so there we go we're now in a very
113
698810
6510
11:45
quiet corner and now you can see for sure you can see for certain where we
114
705320
5610
11:50
are so just behind me it is the famous Paris landmark the Eiffel Tower so there
115
710930
7350
11:58
it is and that is where we are so we arrived here this morning we've been
116
718280
4950
12:03
here for about five maybe six hours so far we're not sure what to make of Paris
117
723230
6900
12:10
it is a very busy place that the first thing I notice Steve was all the
118
730130
5370
12:15
pollution if the same as any city around the world mr. Duncan they're all
119
735500
4350
12:19
polluted yes yes but the problem is I'm not used to it is that because normally
120
739850
4320
12:24
I'm in the countryside well I did tell you to take a puff of your asthma
121
744170
4560
12:28
medicine Thanks oh thanks thanks for telling everybody that they all know
122
748730
5370
12:34
about your asthma issues well they do now anyway can you guys please speak
123
754100
7730
12:41
lower hello is just low enough no maybe and not so maybe the microphones turned
124
761830
8830
12:50
up - hi mister don't really maybe that could be it well okay maybe maybe it is
125
770660
4800
12:55
Kenny here is now okay well maybe it's mr. Steve because he does have this
126
775460
4110
12:59
habit of shouting see how mr. Duncan's hogging the camera to himself well I'm
127
779570
5730
13:05
holding the camera that's why so that you can get the the Eiffel Tower in I
128
785300
4290
13:09
was going to bring a tripod but Steve says don't don't take a tripod because
129
789590
4440
13:14
people look Herman they'll say why why have you got a tripod I didn't say that
130
794030
4140
13:18
that's what you said say that that is what Steve said arguing already Oh
131
798170
5690
13:23
interesting what you so cool commentary fool okay just three trays on
132
803860
8950
13:32
ya the these aren't they saw these aren't comments that are very
133
812810
3330
13:36
interesting by the way you vote okay is that it
134
816140
5449
13:41
thanks Steve Thanks thanks for the input so there it is we are we are I don't
135
821589
7571
13:49
know what to do now now we've now we're standing under the
136
829160
3000
13:52
Eiffel Tower I don't really know what to do now Steve and maybe words or idioms
137
832160
6480
13:58
connected with towers how about that mr. Duncan well there are quite a few idioms
138
838640
5310
14:03
connected to tower or towers you can be a person can be a tower of strength if
139
843950
6780
14:10
someone is a tower of strength it means they have stronger character or maybe
140
850730
4979
14:15
they can be relied on to keep their cool in situations that might cause upset or
141
855709
9561
14:25
anxiety so a person who remains cool and calm we can say that they are a tower of
142
865270
7990
14:33
strength just like that you see and you think of any others mr. Duncan no I
143
873260
8220
14:41
think that's the only one as I can't think of any other tower idioms at the
144
881480
5070
14:46
moment so he said the camera seems very chaotic well that's not my fault I was
145
886550
6990
14:53
going to bring the tripod but Steve said we shouldn't use the tripod I didn't say
146
893540
4950
14:58
that I didn't say that at all okay so okay
147
898490
7099
15:07
right okay we're back now I know one thing could you hold the microphone for
148
907750
4649
15:12
a moment oh yes okay this this is not easy to do yes that's better
149
912399
8721
15:22
the problem is I haven't got my tripod I wanted to use my tripod that's better
150
922019
4481
15:26
look can you see is now I said to mr. Duncan
151
926500
4769
15:31
yes that he could bring his tripod but he said you didn't want to so it's not
152
931269
5041
15:36
my fault okay then I have brought my tripod so when will
153
936310
7410
15:43
you come to Vietnam well we could come maybe next week how about that what time
154
943720
6000
15:49
is it now in France now it is 20 minutes past 4:00 and it's yes about 420 so we
155
949720
10289
16:00
are actually an hour ahead from the UK so the UK it is now twenty past three
156
960009
6810
16:06
but here in France here in Paris gay Paree it is twenty
157
966819
7380
16:14
past four I haven't seen that yes where is Louis says TS I have already said
158
974199
5671
16:19
where is Louis would he know I mean that's quite fantastic he must be here
159
979870
5399
16:25
somewhere he can watch this live stream later
160
985269
4380
16:29
I think obviously he's probably at work I think so no I don't think Louis is at
161
989649
4321
16:33
work cuz I think he's at retirement age he's one of our senior more senior loyal
162
993970
5369
16:39
viewers and I would assume that he's probably having a siesta yeah so if

999339
7350
16:46
you've just joined us and you're not sure where we are we are actually in
164
1006689

16:50
Paris at the moment just to prove it there is the Eiffel Tower just behind us
165
1010050

5730
17:00
have a replica of the Eiffel Tower but no this is the real Eiffel Tower in the
167
1020220
6449
17:06
center of Paris so I hope you are enjoying the views even though there is
168
1026669
6841
17:13
something I've noticed Steve it would appear that most of the landmarks most
169
1033510
5699
17:19
of the famous building seem to be having renovation work
170
1039209
6081
17:25
including of course that the building that was in the news recently not true
171
1045290
5140
17:30
damn craft Cathedral so not redeem is not very far away from
172
1050430
3660
17:34
here is it it isn't and in fact we thought at first that the Eiffel Tower
173
1054090
5940
17:40
was covered in scaffolding and then we realized that it actually looks like
174
1060030
4200
17:44
that just a joke just a joke yes okay that of course this could all
175
1064230
6570
17:50
be one of mr. Duncan's green screens this is definitely not we might not be
176
1070800
5340
17:56
here at all it could be a green screen this is not a green screen this is real
177
1076140
3600
17:59
we are really here on I can't remember what day it is it's Tuesday today it
178
1079740
6330
18:06
doesn't feel like Tuesday it's Tuesday tonight we're going on a
179
1086070
3990
18:10
river cruise yes so many buildings are being renovated or of course restored we
180
1090060
5880
18:15
could also say restoration so if you restore something it meets means you
181
1095940
4920
18:20
make it look as good as it did when it was new
182
1100860
4200
18:25
yes unfortunately when you restore old buildings they quite often have much
183
1105060
7500
18:32
more susceptible to catching fire yes especially old buildings that are made
184
1112560
5700
18:38
of wood and this has happened a lot in in in quite a few famous buildings or
185
1118260
5610
18:43
old buildings around Europe apparently that they start to restore them and in
186
1123870
3960
18:47
fact it's happened in in York in the UK that people try to restore buildings and
187
1127830
7470
18:55
then something goes wrong the equipment goes wrong and they burned down
188
1135300
4050
18:59
well that was 35 years ago and and this and can you believe it they are still
189
1139350
3860
19:03
restoring its York Minster a very famous cathedral and it burned down or was very
190
1143210
7540
19:10
badly damaged by fire 35 years ago and they're still renovating it now and and
191
1150750
7860
19:18
do you remember after not to damn Steve yes after the fire they were saying that
192
1158610
6180
19:24
they will be able to restore it in just five years I don't think that's going to
193
1164790
5670
19:30
happen I think it's going to take much longer than five years to restore not
194
1170460
4140
19:34
sure damn president macron said he would restore
195
1174600
2330
19:36
it in five years but any expert has said it's at least 20 years yes of course
196
1176930
5850
19:42
talking of President Matt cron on Thursday night this week I love the way
197
1182780
5250
19:48
Steve keeps putting his finger over the camera how do I yes okay okay
198
1188030
6330
19:54
we haven't somebody asked have we been to not Rodin yet no not yet no but we
199
1194360
4350
19:58
are talking about it at the moment because we haven't we've only been here
200
1198710
3450
20:02
literally about two hours well we came here this morning we've been here for
201
1202160
4830
20:06
about five maybe six hours now so we've been here for the morning and the
202
1206990
5730
20:12
afternoon so we haven't long arrived to be honest but what I was saying is on
203
1212720
5370
20:18
Thursday evening Steve here president macron is going to make a very important
204
1218090
6660
20:24
address to to the people of Paris and France about concerning the yellow vest
205
1224750
7310
20:32
protests so that there are a lot of things and we are here for the rest of
206
1232060
5560
20:37
the week aren't we we are indeed assuming we don't fall out I'm only
207
1237620
5610
20:43
joking mr. Duncan do you've just say the strangest things sometimes so we are
208
1243230
4680
20:47
here for the rest of the week so we will be here when president macaron makes his
209
1247910
3930
20:51
big speech to the nation yeah that I think that the camera is shaking because
210
1251840
5010
20:56
I'm trying to hold it in one hand I should have brought the tripod but it's
211
1256850
4440
21:01
Steve's fault you have very shaky hands mr. day well
212
1261290
4170
21:05
it's shaky where you try and hold it like this it's wait there let me just
213
1265460
4200
21:09
hold it that's better yes it's not it's not easy to hold this
214
1269660
5100
21:14
I'm acting as mr. Duncan's bodyguard yes because you know when you're in the a
215
1274760
6720
21:21
major city like this we're susceptible to pickpockets and unsavory people so
216
1281480
6420
21:27
well we even they gave us a leaflet they gave us a piece of paper in the hotel
217
1287900
5820
21:33
and it has all these warnings about what not to do when you're walking around
218
1293720
5250
21:38
Paris so I must admit before we even left the hotel I did feel a little a
219
1298970
6270
21:45
little nervous to say the least rabisu Duncan we will be are we going to
220
1305240
7050
21:52
be doing other live streams while we're here
221
1312290
2520
21:54
well I don't know because we have other things planned during the week so we're
222
1314810
3480
21:58
not just doing this we're not just doing live streams we will be doing other
223
1318290
3780
22:02
things as well so we won't always be able to talk to you on the live stream
224
1322070
5430
22:07
I'm sorry about that he's got a packed schedule a packed schedule which means
225
1327500
4980
22:12
that we have a lot of things to do there's something else I've noticed
226
1332480
5490
22:17
every few moments we can hear we can hear ambulances and police cars that's
227
1337970
4950
22:22
the same in any major city mr. Duncan it's just that you don't get out very
228
1342920
5070
22:27
much the thing is we live in the countryside it's not about me getting
229
1347990
4080
22:32
out I don't know why you keep saying that but I'm joking mr. Duncan you're
230
1352070
3390
22:35
taking it all too seriously yes you know you've got to be anyway I need to keep
231
1355460
5910
22:41
on the look whatever what have I got to be Steve have I got ever got to be able
232
1361370
3390
22:44
to take a joke up I know you mustn't come close this is mr. Duncan say away
233
1364760
6420
22:51
keep 10 yards away at all times don't you know who I am I'm mr. Duncan from
234
1371180
4860
22:56
YouTube I don't think anyone cares to be honest they don't care and they don't
235
1376040
5820
23:01
know well mr. Duncan you are near lead Oh Louie is here now hello Lewis yes
236
1381860
8880
23:10
okay you don't have to shout in number in the microphone I don't think I'm I
237
1390740
3900
23:14
don't think I'm shouting I think you are
238
1394640
4640
23:21

1401530
4780
23:26
are we I don't know I haven't seen Lena's bridge come on it can I tell you
240
1406310
6840
23:33
something that surprised me about this everywhere is closed off so all around
241
1413150
6630
23:39
the Eiffel Tower that there is there is sort of plastic screening screens all
242
1419780
7350
23:47
around the Eiffel Tower so you can't get near it and everywhere around here look
243
1427130
5490
23:52
behind me everywhere is having renovation at the moment so all of the
244
1432620
4590
23:57
park near the Eiffel Tower is actually having renovations
245
1437210
5910
24:03
a lot of it is actually closed you can't get near any of the grass or the parks
246
1443120
5820
24:08
so they are all actually shit they are closed off so we haven't really got many
247
1448940
6060
24:15
places to walk around here we were surprised weren't we
248
1455000
3180
24:18

249
1458180
7800
24:25
good sentence I'm just looking at the live stream you see okay I'm seeing what
250
1465980
5340
24:31
Lewis is saying because obviously Lewis lives in Paris and we knew that but we
251
1471320
4530
24:35
didn't want to say anything what a surprise yes exactly we're so pleased to
252
1475850
6660
24:42
be in your town that you've lived in for 30 years or even City City for 30 years
253
1482510
6390
24:48

4380
25:09

4380
25:13
and are you enjoying watching Steve scroll the live stream the weather here

25:24
also very dusty it's quite just eating quite polluted I'm not used to this

1524240
6600
25:30
because I live in the countryside there's there's a lot of people saying
261
1530840
4770
25:35
things and you're going pests yes I would just see what Lewis was yes
262
1535610
3360
25:38
because this obviously is the Lewis said well surprised you are in Paris France
263
1538970
4830

264
1543800
4830
25:48
now where we are yes we are in Paris the romantic place and also maybe the
265
1548630
6510
25:55
dustiest place in the world there is just everywhere the temperature today is
266
1555140
5250
26:00
about 20 degrees it must be more than that mr. Jenkin okay then Steve says
267
1560390
4710
26:05
it's more than 20 degrees but I'm very warm yeah but you are wearing your big
268
1565100
4620
26:09

1569720
6120
26:15
Duncan no today no day away
270
1575840
4290
26:20
you mustn't come within 10 yards of mr. Duncan I'm his bodyguard you know I look
271
1580130
7140
26:27
so tough you see people would they wouldn't come anywhere near me I'm not
272
1587270
3960
26:31
scared I'm not sure about that I'm getting really bored standing here now
273
1591230
3210
26:34
let's move around a bit there's this is a very strange area because and the
274
1594440
5880
26:40
reason why I say it's a strange area is because there's nothing really here it's
275
1600320
5940
26:46
just lots of dusty pets yes I know the Eiffel Tower is here but look I cleaned
276
1606260
11880
26:58
your shoes mr. Duncan and now they're filthy yes look everywhere is dusty
277
1618140
5960
27:04
we've got to go to a posh restaurant tonight and I don't know how you're
278
1624100
4780
27:08
going to get those shoes clean in time well you just wipe them with a cloth but
279
1628880
5460
27:14
I know oh I'm just seeing what time it is oh
280
1634340
4920
27:19
it's not too late yes so here we go back towards the Eiffel - we're not going to
281
1639260
6330
27:25
go up today because we haven't got time there's there's a huge queue as well
282
1645590
4440
27:30
there's about 150 people waiting to go up the Eiffel Tower so we don't have
283
1650030
5430
27:35
time to go up today I'm afraid it's hardly surprising it's a major tourist
284
1655460
5099
27:40
attraction and of course it's Easter week so Easter was last weekend so a lot
285
1660559
5731
27:46
of people are actually here now in Paris enjoying an extended holiday Tower is
286
1666290
7590
27:53
fading away behind the trees yes okay is anyone still watching well what you mean
287
1673880
11039
28:04
here in this amazing justy this is Rudy it's dusty everywhere I'm very sorry
288
1684919
5731
28:10
everyone but this might be the most boring view ever look at that
289
1690650
4350
28:15
I mean I've come all the way to Paris and this is what I find this is it time
290
1695000
5250
28:20
mr. Duncan it's fine but we're just this is the area of the Tauri fell
291
1700250
5700
28:25
Giovanni says you are in Paris yes we are in Paris
292
1705950
4070
28:30
the moment but I must admit a lot of the places are closed because they are all
293
1710020
5430
28:35
being renovated and also around here there is renovation work taking place
294
1715450
4800
28:40
here everywhere isn't a Steve but you can go up the you can go up the lifts
295
1720250
4350
28:44

296
1724600
8880
28:53
well do that but not today no it's more I think it is probably more
297
1733480
6120
28:59
cloudy but then where then England oh I see oh is that the question yes in a
298
1739600
10320
29:09
mission says Giovanni in a mission are you in mission I don't know what that
299
1749920
7050
29:16
means yes where we've just come to Paris to have a look round and now we're
300
1756970
7230
29:24
staying for a few days and then we're going to go back to England and then we
301
1764200
4170
29:28
will carry on doing our lovely live streams for you every Sunday isn't that
302
1768370
4770
29:33
nice it is mr. Duncan I think we've got people who might want to visit us while
303
1773140
5130
29:38
we're here mr. Duncan here we're in Paris I don't thinks well we can't
304
1778270
4290
29:42
because we've got a busy week we have so however how can we meet people if we're
305
1782560
4710
29:47
doing things that's yeah but we're not busy all the time okay there okay I'm
306
1787270
4830
29:52
getting a bit confused here we were able to do much this week because mr. Steve
307
1792100
6420
29:58
is busy but now apparently if you want to come and see us now you can come and
308
1798520
4980
30:03
see us now we're just by the Eiffel Tower and you can take us for a drink
309
1803500
4200
30:07
it's a lovely cafe we can have a cup of expresso I think people don't want to
310
1807700
5340
30:13
know where we're staying they may want to come and see as you see oh I say well
311
1813040
4770
30:17
we can't do can't do there's no way on earth I'm telling people where we're
312
1817810
3600
30:21
staying that is not happening oh can I just show you something yes go on
313
1821410
4770
30:26
a lot of people riding scooters these little electric scooters around the
314
1826180
7770
30:33
centre of Paris I've noticed so there are a lot of
315
1833950
3930
30:37
people using scooters although I haven't seen any here but I wanted to show you
316
1837880
4680
30:42
one because it just went past but they've gone now
317
1842560
2730
30:45
Steve the question I want to ask Lewis is should we be wearing Berets or should
318
1845290
6780
30:52
we be wearing berets in France or is that not appropriate anymore
319
1852070
5310
30:57
Steve have you seen anyone wearing a beret I just saw a man wearing what
320
1857380
4860
31:02
looked like a beret or maybe it was not a beret what is it that's it that's a
321
1862240
7230
31:09
cap that's a tit fur yes I haven't seen anyone wearing Berets is a flat cap and
322
1869470
4610
31:14
I haven't seen anyone riding a bicycle with onions around their neck what we
323
1874080
7120
31:21
were expecting so this is this is how we perceive French Peavey this is not this
324
1881200
4170
31:25
is how you perceive French people for those who are wondering we are actually
325
1885370
4380
31:29
at the foot of the Eiffel Tower so the Eiffel Tower is now behind us
326
1889750
5790
31:35
it's a live stream it's a live stream on a Tuesday and we are live from Paris and
327
1895540
8250
31:43

2011740
5790
33:37
about in the way of teaching people English probably not because we're
344
2017530
5100
33:42
really on holiday I must say I must say one thing everybody all the women look
345
2022630
6150
33:48
incredibly stylish or so do the men but that is very true what they say about
346
2028780
5510
33:54
French people they look very stylish very elegant and very sophisticated very
347
2034290
7090
34:01
sophisticated everyone all the young people here Steve we said this earlier
348
2041380
5220
34:06
all the young people look as if they've stepped out of a Vogue magazine they all
349
2046600
5940
34:12
look very fashionable and very trendy but all the old people like us we look
350
2052540
5400
34:17
very scruffy and all also a lot of the young people are riding around on on
351
2057940
5670
34:23
motorized scooters Johnny says that he's goat Johnny Ellie's going to Paris on
352
2063610
5220
34:28
May the 20th oh well well welcome to Paris I hope you have a great time here
353
2068830
5310
34:34
how's the weather says Giovanni it's quite warm it's it's a probably about 20
354
2074140
5970
34:40
yard and it's about 23 24 degrees yes maybe maybe 20 to 23 so yes it's very
355
2080110
7050
34:47
very it's lovely oh right there it says something about
356
2087160
9060
34:56
the other side opposite the Eiffel Tower there is a military school there is
357
2096220
4080
35:00
there is a huge building opposite it's beautiful
358
2100300
2790
35:03
but it is absolutely full of people the whole
359
2103090
5330
35:08
area it where the bridge and the main road is because that the road actually
360
2108420
5879
35:14
runs underneath the Eiffel Tower but can I just say that over in that direction
361
2114299
5991
35:20
over there it is absolutely full of people there are so many people and
362
2120290
9039
35:29
that's the reason why we are here in this little dusty corner I don't know
363
2129329
4111
35:33
why mr. Duncan should be surprised this is the capital of France probably the
364
2133440
4980
35:38
most visited city in Europe or the world and mr. Duncan surprised there are lots
365
2138420
5610
35:44
of people here I say you shouldn't have been surprised mr. Duncan we probably
366
2144030
4319
35:48
seen more people in the last two hours then you've seen in the whole of the
367
2148349
4710
35:53
last six years yes yes but anyway thanks for that Steve I do like the way mr.
368
2153059
8040
36:01
Steve portrays me as a very sad lonely person maybe I am maybe I am sad and
369
2161099
4950
36:06
lonely maybe I am I'm only joking mr. Duncan you always tell me I should take
370
2166049
7020
36:13
a joke and you should too I'll try my perfect it's perfect weather
371
2173069
6091
36:19
here really because it's not too hot it's not too cold it's perfect I'm
372
2179160
5399
36:24
actually overdressed how will you communicate with the French says mishel
373
2184559
9780
36:34
and I don't want to speak English out of principle yes a lot of the French well I
374
2194339
6301
36:40
think in Paris they do because it's a very cosmopolitan city and everybody so
375
2200640
5340
36:45
far has spoken English tours literally everybody nobody has spoken French to us
376
2205980
6690
36:52
they just assume then we must look English here we go
377
2212670
3750
36:56
look look at all the people now there is a tour taking place here so you can see
378
2216420
4379
37:00
there are lots of people on tours so this here is actually a tour taking
379
2220799
4621
37:05
place a lot of people from from Asia I've noticed here today a lot of people
380
2225420
5820
37:11
from Asia all over the world yes so many many people
381
2231240
6290
37:20
let's share the tower again mr. Duncan he was the tower for those who don't
382
2240660
4510
37:25
believe me we are now in Paris France and there it looks like the Eiffel Tower
383
2245170
7260
37:32
is actually growing out of a tree but it isn't trust me it's the first holiday
384
2252430
8579
37:41

387
2271150

2279730
6119
38:05

389
2285849

2970
38:48

402
2348369
6210
39:14
terrible I can't I can't but I wasn't expecting I
403
2354579
4770
39:19
wasn't expecting this much dust you know what this reminds me of it reminds me of
404
2359349
4020
39:23
when I was living in China I'm trying to look stylish mr. Duncan stylish
405
2363369
6200
39:31

406
2371410
6250
39:37
I don't think two is many let's go let's go over here shall we sit down for a
407
2377660
8610
39:46
moment I don't know about you but I am really tired oh we're about we're about
408
2386270
5370
39:51
three miles away from the hotel as well oh yeah sorry I didn't know yes we are a
409
2391640
7680
39:59
lot of quiet yeah I think we'll take one of these free electric scooters oh here
410
2399320
6180
40:05
we go and go back to the hotel here we go
411
2405500
3270
40:08
so so these are all over Paris as you walk around you see these these little
412
2408770
6680
40:15
electric scooters they are everywhere do you want to have a go Steve oh you have
413
2415450
9280
40:24
to scan to UM unlock okay then just can't you ride it though okay we can't
414
2424730
9960
40:34
hear you you have to scan it with something oh I see and then it would
415
2434690
5670
40:40
unlock it but I'm not sure what you scan it with okay so these things are all
416
2440360
4080
40:44
around Paris they're everywhere so you you just I think what you do is
417
2444440
5040
40:49
you pay for a token and then that means you can ride around Paris for so long
418
2449480
6060
40:55
for so many minutes so there it is so these are all over the place quite often
419
2455540
5520
41:01
they're being ridden by young people quite often young couples riding
420
2461060
6840
41:07
together with the boy on the front and the girl standing at the back would be
421
2467900
