Oh, dear.

Do you ever have one of those years where everything's seems to go wrong?
1
235000
4305
03:59
Well, guess what? I'm having one of them today.
2
239338
2703
04:02
It's a little bit like Sunday, to be honest,
3
242975
2636
04:06
but it's today, and I don't know what is happening.
4
246245
4771
04:11
It's very strange, isn't it?
5
251050
2202
04:13
Have you noticed sometimes in life things go wrong
6
253252
3036
04:16
and you're not quite sure why?
7
256989
2369
04:20
But then you realise it's
8
260326
2636
04:22
just because you are having one of those years.
9
262962
3103
04:26
And that's what I feel like I'm having at the moment.
10
266832
2336
04:30
I've just literally started my live stream and I've realised
11
270069
3470
04:33
one of my cameras is not working and I don't know why.
12
273539
3537
04:37
It's very strange.
13
277376
767
04:38
It's never happened before.
14
278143
2803
04:41
Okay, let's be honest.
15
281947
1435
04:43
It happens all the time.
16
283382
1768
04:45
Here we go then. Let's see what happens here.
17
285150
2403
04:47
This should be interesting. Welcome to English addict.
18
287586
3103
04:50
Coming to you live from the birthplace of English, which is.
19
290756
4037
04:55
Well, of course it is.
20
295160
1202
04:56
England.
21
296362
3803
05:00
You see? You see.
22
300165
2069
05:03
I'm right.
23
303068
1535
05:04
I am. I'm so right.
24
304603
1602
05:06
I'm having one of those days.
25
306205
2302
05:08
This should be interesting. It might not work.
26
308507
2302
05:11
No, it's not working. I'm not there. Why?
27
311110
3336
05:16
I should.
28
316148
968
05:17
I shouldn't be on the screen now, but I'm not.
29
317349
2202
05:20
And I don't know how that's happening.
30
320252
2069
05:22
I'm there, but I'm not on the screen.
31
322321
7374
05:29
You know what?
32
329695
534
05:30
So sometimes I just think sometimes
33
330229
2936
05:33
I should just go back to bed after Sunday as well,
34
333999
3871
05:37
because I had a problem on Sunday, didn't I, as well, with my camera.
35
337870
3003
05:42
And now it's doing the same thing again.
36
342174
1802
05:43
And I have no idea why there is something very strange going on here
37
343976
5238
05:49
and I'm just going to see if I can find out
38
349515
2669
05:53
what it is.
39
353218
801
05:54
I'm just going to do a couple of things.
40
354019
3070
05:57
I'm going to get this right.
41
357089
1201
05:58
No, it's it's very weird.
42
358290
2402
06:00
Very strange.
43
360692
2069
06:02
Okay.
44
362761
367
06:03
Let's see if I can correct this somehow.
45
363128
6974
06:10
Okay. I'm going to get this to work
46
370102
2002
06:14
now. Very weird.
47
374406
2236
06:17
How strange
48
377609
2503
06:21
am I a ghost?
49
381780
2269
06:24
I'm a am I a ghost?
50
384049
1869
06:25
Because I'm in front of the camera now
51
385918
2569
06:29
and I can't be seen.
52
389788
1201
06:30
And I don't know why.
53
390989
2203
06:33
This might be the strangest thing
54
393659
1601
06:35
that's ever happened on my live stream.
55
395260
2369
06:38
And I have to be honest, we have some really strange things happening here sometimes.
56
398363
4672
06:43
And it's not it's not working.
57
403669
2302
06:47
I am supposed to be on your on your screen now, but I'm not.
58
407372
3370
06:51
It's very weird.
59
411276
1468
06:52
This this might be the most interesting thing that's ever happened.
60
412744
5105
06:57
And I have no idea how it is happening.
61
417849
3504
07:02
But for some strange reason, I'm not on camera.
62
422387
3904
07:06
So just a moment.
63
426591
1669
07:08
Let's see if we can sort this out.
64
428260
1935
07:10
I'm going to I'm going to sort this out.
65
430195
2770
07:12
Don't worry. It's all right.
66
432965
1267
07:14
Don't go away.
67
434232
6006
07:20
How strange
68
440238
1168
07:24

69
444009
2869
07:27
Okay.
70
447079
11144
07:38
I wonder if it's working now.
71
458223
1535
07:39
Oh, it is, everyone.
72
459758
2102
07:42
It's working.
73
462027
1902
07:44
I've got it to work.
74
464096
2135
07:46
Sometimes these things happen. It's okay. Don't worry.
75
466231
3003
07:49
Sometimes these things do occur.
76
469568
2369
07:52
Hello, everyone again.
77
472270
1969
07:54
Welcome again to English Addict Life
78
474239
3437
07:57
from England.
79
477676
9009
08:07
Do, do, do, do, do.
80
487719
2069
08:10
Let's,
81
490355
634
08:12
let's just pretend that that didn't happen.
82
492023
3137
08:15
Can we.
83
495160
500
08:15
Can we just pretend that that did not occur?
84
495660
2169
08:17
Okay, then. Hi, everybody. This is Mr.
85
497829
2970
08:20
Duncan in England.
86
500799
1935
08:22
How are you today? Are you okay? I hope so.
87
502734
2970
08:25
Are you happy?
88
505737
767
08:26
I hope you are feeling happy today.
89
506504
3537
08:30
Well, that was strange.
90
510041
1168
08:31
That's never happened before.
91
511209
2102
08:33
I was supposed to be here like this,
92
513311
2336
08:35
but then I wasn't here like this.
93
515647
2469
08:39
Something decided to lock up.
94
519084
2536
08:41
I don't know what it is recently about my technology,
95
521886
2803
08:44
my computer is working all right, but it's other things.
96
524923
3870
08:49
And by that I mean my software.
97
529327
2636
08:52
So your computer can be really, really good.
98
532464
3003
08:55
But if your software has a problem, then
99
535467
3136
08:59
you will also have problems from time to time.
100
539604
2603
09:02
Anyway, I am here. My name is Duncan.
101
542774
2736
09:05
There it is again on the screen.
102
545510
2269
09:07
I talk about the English language and sometimes
103
547779
3036
09:12
sometimes everything works.
104
552984
2903
09:15
Only sometimes.
105
555887
1468
09:17
Thank you very much for joining me.
106
557355
1435
09:18
Yes, we are back together.
107
558790
1301
09:20
I first of all, I suppose I should mention Sun. Sun.
108
560091
4371
09:24
Very busy day for various reasons.
109
564796
2836
09:27
I had a couple of
110
567632
2836
09:30
strange moments
111
570468
2903
09:33
and I had to leave my live stream.
112
573371
3003
09:36
I had some some news concerning Mr.
113
576374
3404
09:39
Steve's mother.
114
579778
1301
09:41
A lot of people asking about Mr.
115
581079
2402
09:43
Steve's mum.
116
583481
1335
09:44
Would you like to see a photograph of Mr.
117
584816
2436
09:47
Steve's mother, myself and Mr. Steve?
118
587252
2936
09:50
Okay, then there it is.
119
590188
2069
09:53
And there we are looking very happy.
120
593358
2269
09:55
And that was taken last year.
121
595627
1968
09:57
So that particular photograph I'm showing you now was taken last year.
122
597595
6507
10:04
And there is Mr.
123
604102
801
10:04
Steve, Mr.
124
604903
1201
10:06
Steve's mother, looking very happy and also myself
125
606104
4104
10:10
spoiling the photograph completely.
126
610642
3103
10:14
Thank you for your good wishes.
127
614045
2069
10:16
You will be pleased to hear that Mr.
128
616114
1835
10:17
Steve's mum is feeling much better.
129
617949
2202
10:20
She had a little problem on Sunday.
130
620518
1935
10:22
She was taken to hospital.
131
622453
2036
10:24
Fortunately, they did not have to keep her in the hospital.
132
624789
4705
10:30
You'll be pleased to hear.
133
630228
1101
10:31
So that's good. Good news all round, I think.
134
631329
3136
10:34
Here we go, then.
135
634866
1168
10:37
We have made it successfully.
136
637568
2837
10:42
All the way to the middle of the week.
137
642040
2369
10:44
Although
138
644409
1568
10:46
between you and me,
139
646344
2102
10:49
things are a little bit crazy
140
649280
1969
10:51
here in the UK for various reasons, which I might mention later on.
141
651249
4571
10:56
Yes, it's Wednesday.
142
656521
17884
11:14
A bitter, bitter, bitter between who's who.
143
674405
3570
11:18
Yes, we are here eventually.
144
678543
2869
11:21
Sometimes things don't go right.
145
681779
3437
11:25
But you know what I always say?
146
685216
2669
11:27
It proves that this is life
147
687885
2670
11:32
and and now, you know,
148
692557
1935
11:34
it is definitely 100% life because when things go wrong, you know,
149
694492
4805
11:40
it is life as life can be.
150
700064
2636
11:43
I've got some lovely photographs to show you today.
151
703668
2335
11:46
I'm also going to talk about a Brazilian TV programme
152
706003
3804
11:50
that was on in the 1990s, especially for children,
153
710208
4170
11:54
something I accidentally found on YouTube.
154
714645
3904
12:00
We'll be talking about that later on.
155
720218
1735
12:01
Also, we're talking about tips.
156
721953
3403
12:06
Tips.
157
726023
1669
12:08
Tip is a word that can be used in many ways.
158
728292
3671
12:11
The sharp point of something can be described
159
731963
3903
12:15
as a tip, also as a verb.
160
735866
3971
12:19
If you tip something, it means you turn something over.
161
739837
4271
12:24
You cause something to tip
162
744442
4037
12:28
over or fall over.
163
748879
3804
12:32
The word tip can also be used as a noun and a verb in another way.
164
752683
5239
12:38
When you are offering money
165
758222
2069
12:41
as a way of thanking someone for good service.
166
761225
3871
12:45
So that is what we are talking about today.
167
765763
2502
12:48
And in some countries
168
768265
2803
12:51
it is polite to give a tip to someone.
169
771068
4204
12:55
You are giving money to someone to say thank you for that good service.
170
775272
4839
13:00
Also today, we are taking a look at words and expressions
171
780478
5205
13:06
connected to the mouth, mouth
172
786283

13:41

821085
2202
13:43
Fortunately, no rain.
183
823287
2302
13:45
It is a little cloudy, but at least it's not raining.
184

4304
13:50

185

841272
3203
14:04
are incredibly high, including Japan.
189
844475
4204
14:08
I've been following the news stories coming from Japan about how hot it is there.

15:11
Thank you very much for your lovely message as well.
209
911442

15:14
The email you sent concerning Mr.
210
914011
2669
15:16
Steve's mother, she is feeling much better.
211
916680
3003
15:20
She's not 100%, but she is feeling much better.
212
920083
4872
15:25
She is being taken care of by Mr.
213
925389
2969
15:28
Steve sister at the moment.
214
928358
2036
15:30
So she is making sure that Mr.

3170
15:33
Steve's mother and her mother is being kept care of.
216
933564
5839
15:39
And of course, last week, if you remember last week, Mr.

939803
3437
15:43
Steve's mother was staying here with us and she was here
218
943240
3637
15:46
for ten days staying here.
219
946877
2135
15:50
And well,
220
950180
3103
15:53
that was also a little bit eventful as well.
221
953283
4305
15:57
If something is eventful, it means things are happening
222
957921
4905
16:02
during that period of time.
223
962826
2469
16:05
But Mr.
224
965896
567
16:06
Steve's mother is on the mend as far as we can tell.
225
966463
3837
16:10
I think Steve is actually going over
226
970601
2869
16:13
to see his mother this weekend.
227
973470
3170
16:17
So I think we might be popping over next weekend to see Mr.
228
977274
4137
16:21
Steve's mother, to mate, to make sure she's okay.
229

999329
2636
16:42
Where you are.
236
1002632
1168
16:43
Are you being affected by the intense heat at the moment?
237
1003800
4838
16:48
In Japan
238
1008638
601
16:50
we also have sand dragons.
239
1010674
2402
16:53
All this is here to dad.
240
1013076
2836
16:57
Hello, Sandra.
241
1017848
934
16:58
Nice to see you here as well.
242
1018782
2169
17:01
We have Claudia.
243
1021551
2536
17:04
Hello, Claudia.
244
1024087
2469
17:06
What's cooking?
245
1026556
901
17:07
Claudia, what have you got in your pot?
246
1027457
2903
17:10
What's cooking?
247
1030894
834
17:11
Claudia, is it something spicy and hot?
248
1031728
2870
17:15
Is it something salty or not?
249
1035098
2403
17:17
Oh, Claudia, what is in the Pol Pot?
250
1037501
7007
17:25
What is in the pot today?
251
1045442
1735
17:27
Claudia, what are you having for
252
1047177
3704
17:30
your lunch or evening dinner, maybe?
253
1050881
3103
17:35
Hello, Natrium.
254
1055418
1335
17:36
Natrium says, have you tried turning it off and on again?
255
1056753
4338
17:41
That is something everyone says.
256
1061491
2136
17:43
If you have a problem with your computer, people always say,
257
1063960
3637
17:47
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
258
1067597
3170
17:51
Can I just say that that rarely works.
259
1071234
3170
17:54
Rarely, almost never.
260
1074771
3036
17:57
Especially if your computer
261
1077807
2670
18:00
will not switch off.
262
1080477
3637
18:04
Sometimes your computer can be it can be so damaged
263
1084114
3336
18:07
it will actually not switch off.
264
1087784
4104
18:11
You have to you have to disconnect the power supply
265
1091888
3437
18:16
to make it stop working,
266
1096559
2770
18:19
which is not good for your computer by the way, never,
267
1099329
3570
18:23
never disconnect
268
1103600
2202
18:26
the electricity from your computer whilst it is running
269
1106136
3637
18:29
because you can cause even more damage.
270
1109773
3637
18:34
And you don't want that really do?
271
1114944
1769
18:36
I don't think so.
272
1116713
2002
18:38
But yes, you are right.
273
1118715
1435
18:40
A lot of people say you should switch your thing off
274
1120150
2836
18:43
and then turn it back on again.
275
1123219
2770
18:45
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
276
1125989
3203
18:49
Ricardo.
277
1129559
2169
18:51
Hello, Ricardo.
278
1131728
1835
18:53
If you are feeling a little bit blue, try to think
279
1133563
3237
18:57
in the age when you didn't have any concern
280
1137567
3103
19:00
because your parents cared for you and you only have to play.
281
1140670
4571
19:05
That was a wonderful world.
282
1145575
1802
19:07
Why can't you repeat that again?
283
1147377
3470
19:11
Well, I suppose memories.
284
1151848
2602
19:14
I always find memories very interesting things,
285
1154751
3570
19:19
especially from your childhood,
286
1159956
1702
19:21
because quite often we will not remember the past
287
1161658
4838
19:27
in the way that it actually happened.
288
1167564
2869
19:30
Sometimes we will change our memories.
289
1170433
4805
19:35
Not not consciously.
290
1175738
1802
19:37
We don't know where doing them, but sometimes we will just miss, remember,
291
1177540
4405
19:42
we miss remember our memories.
292
1182345
2869
19:45
So sometimes you might think, oh, oh, years ago
293
1185548
4171
19:49
everything was much better than it is today.
294
1189719
3337
19:53
Let's be honest.
295
1193890
1134
19:55
A lot of people are saying that at the moment
296
1195024
2202
19:58
for various reasons that I won't go into at the moment.
297
1198061
4271
20:03
But yes, I think I think quite often we think of
298
1203533
2202
20:05
the past is always being better than it actually was.
299
1205735
3570
20:09
I have lovely memories from my childhood.
300
1209305
2469
20:12
I also have some not so nice memories from my childhood.
301
1212008
5072
20:17
But you are right.
302
1217447
1001
20:18
I think most of us at some point wish that we could go back in time to the early days
303
1218448
5472
20:23
when things were so much better and maybe simpler.
304
1223920
5839
20:29
Perhaps Inaki is here.
305
1229759
3236
20:33
Hello, Inaki.
306
1233062
1969
20:35
I hope I will have better luck with the technology.
307
1235031
3870
20:38
Oh, I see.
308
1238901
835
20:39
Are you having problems as well with your technology?
309
1239736
3636
20:44
It is something that happens a lot.
310
1244907
2236
20:47
Hello, Cristina.
311
1247143
1401
20:48
Thank you for your concern about Mr.
312
1248544
2736
20:51
Steves mother.
313
1251280
1168
20:52
She is much better.
314
1252448
4538
20:56
Did you enjoy the photograph of Mr.
315
1256986
2269
20:59
Steve's mother that I showed earlier?
316
1259255
2536
21:01
Yeah.
317
1261791
734
21:02
I have some more photographs coming in a few moments as well, so don't go away.
318
1262525
4938
21:09
Hello.
319
1269098
434
21:09
Also two 100 Dobbie, thank you for joining me today.
320
1269532
5806
21:15
Career.
321
1275571

21:16
Hello Kadir watching in Turkey.
322
1276305
3103
21:19
Hello Turkey.
323
1279408
1435
21:20
A country that I know quite well
324
1280843
2536
21:23
because I've been there in the past.
325
1283379
3470
21:27
So what is in the oven,
326
1287650
2336
21:29
Claudia?
327
1289986
867
21:30
What do you have cooking in the oven or in the pot?
328
1290853
5606
21:36
Do you have something nice planned today?
329
1296826
3870
21:40
Please let us know.
330
1300696
2069
21:42
Hello. Also to Palmira.
331
1302765
2202
21:45
Hello Palmira.
332
1305067
1936
21:47
Thank you very much for joining me today.
333
1307003
2102
21:50
Mohsen says Mr.
334
1310506
1268
21:51
Duncan, remembering your past quite often is described as nostalgia.
335
1311774
5806
21:57
Yes, we often think of the past as being something lovely, nice.
336
1317747
4537
22:02
Maybe everything is golden, beautiful colours
337
1322618
4004
22:07
and everything was perfect.
338
1327623
2236
22:10
So I remember growing up my parents and my grandparents.
339
1330660
4437
22:15
My grandparents especially would always say it was much better in our day.
340
1335097
5940
22:21
It was much better.
341
1341070
2369
22:23
We had better times.
342
1343439
2970
22:26
People were much nicer to each other.
343
1346409
3436
22:31
When I was young,
344
1351180
1935
22:33
all the children were always well behaved.
345
1353115
4305
22:39
I'm not sure how true that is
346
1359221
3337
22:42
or was,
347
1362558
2936
22:45
but yes, it is something that the older generation often say.
348
1365494
4271
22:50
They often say kids.
349
1370332
2336
22:52
Today kids today, they don't know.
350
1372668
3637
22:56
They're born
351
1376305
2035
22:58
children today.
352
1378641
2302
23:00
They're so bad mannered.
353
1380943
2236
23:03
They are rude to their parents.
354
1383179
3203
23:07
But the strange thing is
355
1387416
2536
23:09
my grandparents used to say the same thing
356
1389952
2603
23:13
many, many years ago about young people,
357
1393022
3036
23:17
and I was young during that time.
358
1397193
2369
23:20
So they were basically talking about me
359
1400162
2136
23:24
and I was a good child.
360
1404400
2002
23:26
I was a very good boy.
361
1406402
2202
23:28
When I was a child, I was what?
362
1408604
3337
23:32
You don't believe me?
363
1412308
1334
23:33
Oh, okay.
364
1413642
1368
23:35
Please yourself.
365
1415010
2102
23:37
Christina.
366
1417580
1167
23:38
Oh, hello, Christina.
367
1418747
1268
23:40
Today I have cooked spaghetti.
368
1420015
3971
23:43
Oh, very nice.
369
1423986
1668
23:45
Apparently it's called guitar spaghetti.
370
1425654
3871
23:49
I wonder why.
371
1429525
1134
23:50
Maybe it is long and string key.
372
1430659
3504
23:54
Perhaps.
373
1434430
1935
23:56
Sandra says, Mr.
374
1436899
1134
23:58
Duncan, it is very nice to see that you have 1 million subscribers.
375
1438033
4238
24:02
It is nice.
376
1442604
1502
24:04
I wish I had 1 million viewers.
377
1444106
2336
24:06
I wish I actually had 1 million people watching.
378
1446442
4437
24:12
I suppose that's the frustrating part of all this.
379
1452681
3237
24:17
I think so.
380
1457219
2936
24:20
Inaki says. Yes.
381
1460155
1468
24:21
I think sometimes older people have a bad memory.
382
1461623
3704
24:25
I think it is a way of comforting ourselves.
383
1465694
3637
24:29
We always like to think that the past was better
384
1469331
3470
24:34
than the present because it makes us feel.
385
1474103
2836
24:37
I suppose it makes us feel reassured in some strange way.
386
1477372
4205
24:41
We often think that if the past was nice,
387
1481844
4037
24:46
then maybe the future will be nice as well.
388
1486114
3170
24:49
So maybe it is a way of reassuring ourselves
389
1489651
3270
24:53
to make us feel as if the future will be good,
390
1493188
3137
24:57
even if things don't seem good at this present time. So?
391
1497059
4738
25:01
So maybe it is a way of doing that.
392
1501930
4738
25:06
Hello also.
393
1506668
1302
25:07
Oh hello Nitish Nitish pal who is watching in India,
394
1507970
5972
25:14
another place that has been suffering
395
1514409
3404
25:17
intense heat for 40.
396
1517813
3203
25:21
I think in some parts of India, it's been
397
1521783
2703
25:24
as hot as 45 Celsius.
398
1524519
3370
25:28
I can't even imagine what that feels like.
399
1528557
2703
25:31
I think the hottest place I've ever been to is Malaysia.
400
1531960
5606
25:37
I used to go to Malaysia quite a lot and the average temperature
401
1537966
4071
25:42
there is normally around 33 or 34 Celsius.
402
1542037
4371
25:47
So I think that's the hottest place I've ever been to,
403
1547075
3804
25:51
the coldest place I've ever been to or lived in.
404
1551279
4705
25:56
Must be when I was in China during the winter months, it would go
405
1556685
4838
26:01
as low as around -19
406
1561523
4538
26:07
Celsius, 19 degrees
407
1567095
3304
26:10
below freezing,
408
1570766
3637
26:14
and it was very cold.
409
1574403
2068
26:16
I never used to like the winter months when I was living in China.
410
1576471
3938
26:20
They were they were always rather unpleasant,
411
1580409
2535
26:23
to say the least, especially when it was very cold and windy
412
1583512
3737
26:27
and I had to ride my bicycle
413
1587949
2036
26:31
to school.
414
1591520
3570
26:35
It wasn't much fun, I can tell you.
415
1595090
2469
26:38
Oh, hello, Beyond Awake is here.
416
1598393
2770
26:41
Hello to you as well.
417
1601163
3470
26:44
Claudia says I had a nightmare during the night.
418
1604633
4004
26:48
I'm sorry to hear that.
419
1608637
1668
26:50
I hope you feel better now.
420
1610305
2102
26:52
I dreamt that there was a war here, a very ugly nightmare.
421
1612407
4638
26:57
And then I woke up and I thought of Ukraine and how the people are suffering.
422
1617045
5105
27:02
There. Well, I suppose so.
423
1622150
2336
27:05
Not everyone
424
1625020
2068
27:07
has that experience.
425
1627889
1935
27:09
I've never been in an experience.
426
1629824
2103
27:11
I've never been in a situation or had an experience
427
1631927
4371
27:17
where war was taking place around me.
428
1637265
2736
27:20
I can't even imagine what it must be like.
429
1640001
3137
27:23
But I know one thing.
430
1643138
1101
27:24
It is not fun.
431
1644239
2469
27:28
Definitely not.
432
1648410
1434
27:31
Lewis Mendez.
433
1651079
1501
27:32
I always love taking a walk down memory lane.
434
1652580
4105
27:37
It is nice to remember things.
435
1657018
2069
27:39
In fact, we were doing that last week when Steve's mother was here staying with us.
436
1659354
4972
27:44
We did talk a lot about the past.
437
1664793
2769
27:48
And because Misty's mother is
438
1668330
2702
27:52
not young,
439
1672434
1801
27:54
she is eight years away from
440
1674269
5105
28:00
100. I shouldn't have done that.
441
1680442
3737
28:04
I shouldn't have said that.
442
1684179
1234
28:05
I'm going to get into trouble now.
443
1685413
2569
28:07
I am going to get into so much trouble.
444
1687982
3337
28:11
Hello, a gangadhar. Hello.
445
1691319
3103
28:14
I love you, Duncan.
446
1694422
1602
28:16
Thank you very much.
447
1696024
1234
28:17
That's very kind of you to say as well.
448
1697258
2102
28:20
We are talking about giving tips.
449
1700228
2936
28:23
So maybe if you are in a restaurant or a place
450
1703598
3770
28:27
where service is being provided
451
1707802
2903
28:30
and then you pay for the meal or the thing that you've been given,
452
1710905
6040
28:38
maybe you want to give a little bit of extra money.
453
1718112
3771
28:42
And we often call that a tip.
454
1722350
2870
28:45
Tip you hand over a little bit of extra money
455
1725687
3737
28:49
because you are so grateful for the good service, Palmira says.
456
1729691
7707
28:57
On Monday, I went to the beach and the temperature of the weather was higher.
457
1737398
4872
29:03
Then the weather
458
1743104
2870
29:05
higher than the weather.
459
1745974
1201
29:07
We were swimming a lot.
460
1747175
2035
29:09
Well, I suppose if you go to the beach, you might find that there is a different type of air
461
1749210
4905
29:14
or maybe the temperature or the air pressure will be different.
462
1754515
3637
29:19
I can't remember the last time I went to the beach.
463
1759153
2970
29:22
I think it was quite a long time ago.
464
1762123
3237
29:25
When was it?
465
1765360
900
29:26
It must have been four years ago, I think so.
466
1766260
3204
29:29
That was the last time I went to the beach a very long time ago.
467
1769897
3671
29:34
Mr. Steve and myself, we had quite a lot of fun
468
1774168
3337
29:37
there, to be honest.
469
1777505
50884
30:28
Very nice.
470
1828389
1135
30:29
And there it was, a lovely memory from the time Mr.
471
1829524
4037
30:33
Steve and myself went to the beach.
472
1833561
5138
30:38
And yes, we were playing like children.
473
1838699
2203
30:41
This is English addict coming to you live from
474
1841369
2936
30:44
what is left of the UK.
475
1844305
4271
30:48
Dramatic events taking place at the moment concerning this chap.
476
1848576
4871
30:53
Can you see him there?
477
1853681
1635
30:55
Normally I have a picture of Mr.
478
1855316
2102
30:57
Steve, but today, as a special guest of dishonour, someone else.
479
1857418
8175
31:06
Things are a little interesting at the moment
480
1866160
3137
31:09
when we talk about politics, which I don't very often,
481
1869497
3336
31:12
but we are having a very strange situation
482
1872833
2837
31:16
take place here at the moment concerning all government.
483
1876003
3604
31:20
I'm sure you've heard all about it.
484
1880174
4104
31:24
Some photographs.
485
1884278
1001
31:25
I want to show you some photographs.
486
1885279
1935
31:27
Would you like to have a look at some pictures?
487
1887214
2436
31:29
Well, here we go.
488
1889650
1368
31:31
Here is one of them, a lovely photograph from Claudia.
489
1891018
4271
31:35
Claudia has been very busy in the kitchen
490
1895790
3503
31:39
making something that I also happen to like, eating
491
1899460
5339
31:45
Jaffa cakes.
492
1905833
1368
31:47
So these are not Jaffa cakes from the shop.
493
1907201
3503
31:51
These are actually Jaffa cakes
494
1911072
2202
31:53
that Claudia made herself in the kitchen.
495
1913774
3003
31:57
And I have to say, they look lovely.
496
1917445
1935
31:59
I really do want to take a bite
497
1919380
2736
32:02
of one of your homemade Jaffa cakes.
498
1922316
3437
32:05
Shall we take a closer look?
499
1925886
2136
32:08
Okay, then.
500
1928322
1335
32:10
Oh, my goodness.
501
1930191
2869
32:13
That looks delicious.
502
1933060
2369
32:15
I have to be honest with you, Claudia, that really does look nice.
503
1935429
3570
32:18
I want to take a bite from your homemade
504
1938999
4905
32:25
Jaffa cake.
505
1945239
1535
32:27
I really do.
506
1947508
1268
32:28
That looks very nice.
507
1948776
1601
32:30
So you made it with oranges.
508
1950377
1969
32:32
Sponge, and also chocolate on the top.
509
1952346
2736
32:35
Dark chocolate, I think.
510
1955349
2069
32:37
Finally, a photograph of Claudia
511
1957418
3270
32:40
enjoying the aforementioned and Jaffa cakes.
512
1960888
3937
32:45
I like the look of those.
513
1965993
1401
32:47
I will be honest with you.
514
1967394
2102
32:49
I do like them.
515
1969496
1202
32:50
They look lovely and I wish I could try one,
516
1970698
2636
32:53
but I can't because I am too far away.
517
1973701
3503
32:57
It's not fair.
518
1977338
3503
33:00
Maybe someday, maybe one day I will get the chance
519
1980841
4638
33:06
to sample one of your lovely Jaffa cakes.
520
1986146
3070
33:09
Claudia, Thank you very much for sending that photograph and all of the photographs.
521
1989216
4171
33:13
Thank you very much.
522
1993387
3036
33:16
Hello to the Duchess.
523
1996423
3871
33:20
Hello, Duchess. I love your name, by the way.
524
2000461
2869
33:23
Are you really a duchess?
525
2003697
4605
33:28
Are you are you really or are you just
526
2008302
4137
33:32
pretending to be one?
527
2012439
4138
33:36
Sandra says your your food looks lovely.
528
2016577
3436
33:40
Very nice. Yes. Thank you very much.
529
2020013
2903
33:43
I'm always interested to see what type of food you eat,
530
2023183
3304
33:46
to be honest, because sometimes maybe if you are in the kitchen
531
2026687
3837
33:50
and you are cooking something unusual or special,
532
2030524
4571
33:55
I always like to see what it is you are making.
533
2035095
3103
33:59
Maybe I could get some ideas of my own.
534
2039199
2803
34:02
Maybe I could
535
2042002
1435
34:03
become more creative in the kitchen.
536
2043837
2870
34:07
It is one of my wishes.
537
2047207
1702
34:08
I really do want to become more creative in the kitchen
538
2048909
4104
34:13
because I'm not a good cook.
539
2053313
3003
34:16
My father for many years worked as a professional chef.
540
2056316
5105
34:21
He was actually very good when he was working
541
2061788
2770
34:25
as a chef cook very good at it.
542
2065392
3303
34:28
In fact, for a while he had his own business catering
543
2068896
5705
34:35
for people's special events, weddings, birthdays,
544
2075202
5172
34:41
bar mitzvahs, everything.
545
2081108
4771
34:45
Hello. Also to who else is here?
546
2085879
3170
34:49
Alessandra is here.
547
2089049
1969
34:51
I'm very sorry, Mr.
548
2091018
1101
34:52
Duncan, but my p c suddenly switched off.
549
2092119
3603
34:56
It does happen sometimes.
550
2096590
1568
34:58
Maybe there isn't enough memory in your computer.
551
2098158
3303
35:01
Perhaps your your processor was overheating.
552
2101862
4404
35:06
It was getting too hot.
553
2106833
2169
35:09
There are many things that can cause your computer to suddenly switch off.
554
2109002
4605
35:13
It is true.
555
2113607
2836
35:16
Hello Hamed.
556
2116443
1435
35:17
Hamed Mide, thank you very much for joining me today.
557
2117878
4971
35:23
Unique Life Design is here as well.
558
2123150
4471
35:27
Thank you very much for joining me today.
559
2127888
4304
35:32
In a few moments, we are going to look at our first subject today,
560
2132492
4538
35:37
which is all about giving tips.
561
2137030
4238
35:42
Do you ever give a tip?
562
2142035
2169
35:44
Do you ever offer money when you receive good service
563
2144738
5939
35:50
from a waitress or a waiter or maybe in a certain place
564
2150811
5305
35:56
where a service has been given and you want to show your appreciation?
565
2156116
4304
36:00
Well, in a few moments, we will be talking all about that.
566
2160420
3036
36:03
But first, it's time
567
2163790
2336
36:07
to take a look
568
2167093
2002
36:09
at those lovely, lovely
569
2169796
1502
36:11
candles.
570
2171298
51851
37:03
The building.
571
2223149
44578
37:49
We are back.
572
2269562
901
37:50
It is English addict life
573
2270463
2736
37:53
from England.
574
2273500
9976
38:03
Mum, we are back.
575
2283476
5305
38:08
It's very nice to be with you today.
576
2288781
2269
38:11
We had a few technical problems at the start, but now we are here
577
2291050
3938
38:14
100%.
578
2294988
3069
38:18
Talking of percent.
579
2298057
2770
38:20
Did you see what I did there?
580
2300960
1869
38:22
Very, very good.
581
2302829
1301
38:24
You see, I don't just I don't just make this up as I go along.
582
2304130
4738
38:28
Sometimes I have some lovely ideas in my brain, and that was a good example
583
2308868
4638
38:33
of one of those ideas, percentage we often give,
584
2313506
5372
38:39
or sometimes we might give a percentage of the bill
585
2319012
5105
38:44
when we are being served in a restaurant by a waitress or waiter.
586
2324817
4738
38:50
And quite often we want to show our appreciation
587
2330390
3703
38:54
of their service, and that is what we are talking about for now.
588
2334560
4538
38:59
For the next few minutes, we are talking all about giving tips.
589
2339265
4972
39:05
Oh, very nice.
590
2345338
2202
39:08
So, first of all, I think it's fair to mention what a tip actually is.
591
2348408
4738
39:13
So we are doing that right now, a tip
592
2353146
2969
39:16
is an extra payment given as a sign of appreciation for good service.
593
2356315
5473
39:22
So when a person gives you very good service,
594
2362355
3336
39:25
maybe in a cafe or restaurant, you receive good service.
595
2365691
5706
39:32
You might want to give some extra money
596
2372431
4205
39:36
as a way of showing your thanks or
597
2376936
2970
39:39
your appreciation for the good service.
598
2379939
3303
39:43
So when you get the bill like this,
599
2383609
3337
39:46
you might leave a tip as well.
600
2386946
3704
39:52
Last week we went for a lovely meal.
601
2392185
2335
39:54
We had a lovely meal last week with Mr.
602
2394887
2836
39:57
Steve's mother right here in much Wenlock.
603
2397723
3604
40:01
We went to a lovely place called the Raven and the service was excellent
604
2401327
5239
40:06
and we had a very nice meal, excellent food,
605
2406566
3470
40:10
a gorgeous suite.
606
2410570
2168
40:13
I had creme brulee.
607
2413573
3770
40:17
Have you ever tried creme brulee?
608
2417343
2169
40:19
It's a very unusual type of dessert.
609
2419545
4037
40:23
Very unusual. Apparently they have to set fire to it.
610
2423582
2770
40:28
Very strange.
611
2428387
1402
40:29
But at the end of the meal we were so happy and Mr.
612
2429789
3069
40:32
Steve must have been in a very good mood
613
2432858
3204
40:36
because Steve gave a tip to the waitress,
614
2436062
4804
40:41
a very helpful young lady who was very polite and nice,
615
2441567
4538
40:46
and we felt quite overwhelmed because of course we were with Mr.
616
2446105
4304
40:50
Steve's mother
617
2450409
1368
40:52
and she took very good care of us. Mr.
618
2452178
3203
40:57
Gave £10
619
2457249
6073
41:05
as a tip, £10.
620
2465524
2903
41:09
He gave the young lady £10
621
2469728
2770
41:12
to show his appreciation because he was so overwhelmed by her kindness.
622
2472698
5372
41:18
So sometimes you might give a tip.
623
2478537
2503
41:22
We might also describe a tip as a gratuity.
624
2482208
4237
41:26
Gratuity is something you are giving as an extra bonus.
625
2486846
4537
41:31
So when we talk about bonus, something
626
2491750
2970
41:34
extra, maybe an extra payment,
627
2494720
3103
41:38
we often describe it as a gratuity.
628
2498457
3170
41:42
You can also use the word tip as well.
629
2502094
5339
41:47
A tip is usually a percentage of the total bill.
630
2507433
4371
41:52
So that's what I said earlier when I mentioned percentage 100% of this.
631
2512137
5506
41:59
But quite often when we give a tip
632
2519378
3170
42:02
to a waiter or a waitress or for some other service,
633
2522548
3603
42:06
you might give a certain percentage.
634
2526652
3737
42:10
Some people say 5%.
635
2530623
3036
42:14
So if your bill is £100,
636
2534293
3904
42:18
you will give 5% of that as the tip.
637
2538197
4471
42:23
Some people are very generous when they give their tips,
638
2543135
3937
42:27
they might give
639
2547072
2236
42:30
10% or 15%
640
2550509
3036
42:34
or even 20%.
641
2554646
3003
42:37
So what about where you are?
642
2557649
1635
42:39
What about in your country?
643
2559284
2303
42:41
Do you give tips?
644
2561587
2102
42:43
I know in some places it is seen as rude
645
2563689
4204
42:49
or bad manners to actually give a tip.
646
2569294
3904
42:53
So what about you?
647
2573599
867
42:54
If you are going somewhere, if you are in a restaurant, maybe in your country,
648
2574466
4338
42:59
perhaps people don't do it.
649
2579438
2302
43:01
Maybe in some places they don't
650
2581940
3237
43:05
hear.
651
2585177
1902
43:07
Here in England, I'm going to talk about England because that's the thing.
652
2587079
4037
43:11
I have the most experience of living in England.
653
2591150
5271
43:17
We often do leave tips,
654
2597222
3604
43:21
maybe a pound,
655
2601593
2069
43:23
maybe a couple of pound, maybe
656
2603829
2869
43:26
£5, or like.
657
2606698
3304
43:30
Mr. Steve
658
2610002
867
43:32
£10. But there is no real rule, I have to be honest here,
659
2612571
5305
43:37
there is no actual rule for giving tips so you don't have to.
660
2617876
6006
43:44
But there are situations where you might give
661
2624349
2803
43:47
some sort of tip
662
2627719
2636
43:50
or gratuity to a waiter, waitress
663
2630355
4738
43:55
or maybe a person who is helping you to carry your bags to your hotel room.
664
2635093
5539
44:00
If you are staying at a very posh hotel, quite often you have to give a tip.
665
2640632
4938
44:06
So sometimes it is expected, but other times it is not.
666
2646138
4538
44:11
So quite often it is your choice.
667
2651043
1868
44:12
You don't have to give a tip,
668
2652911
2269
44:16
but if you are staying in a place that is posh,
669
2656148
4671
44:21
expensive, quite often it is expected.
670
2661787
6673
44:28
So when you go to the room and your your porter or the bellboy
671
2668560
4805
44:33
or bell girl, bell person,
672
2673632
4704
44:39
I'm not
673
2679404
467
44:39
quite sure what the correct pronoun is there.
674
2679871
4171
44:44
Boy, girl person, the bell person.
675
2684209
3270
44:47
Okay, I'm going to stick with Bell Person, the bell person
676
2687913
4237
44:53
who helps you up to your room.
677
2693351
2837
44:56
They they might also need
678
2696188
3069
45:00
a small gratuity or tip,
679
2700459
2602
45:03
so you might give them £5
680
2703562
3270
45:07
or maybe £10, depending on how expensive the hotel room is.
681
2707065
5172
45:12
So I always think if you stay in a place that is expensive,
682
2712671
3637
45:16
it might be always expected
683
2716308
2602
45:20
a tip will be expected.
684
2720812
2169
45:24
However, sometimes times they won't.
685
2724015
2136
45:27
Louis says in France,
686
2727786
2702
45:30
the tip is usually between ten and 15% of the bill.
687
2730488
4772
45:35
I would say that that's about right.
688
2735794
2002
45:37
Yes, I think I think here we do roughly the same thing.
689
2737796
3804
45:42
So 10% sometimes 15%.
690
2742000
4137
45:47
And if they are very generous, very generous indeed, they might give
691
2747138
3704
45:50
you 20% of the bill as a tip.
692
2750842
4505
45:56
Quite often also, you will
693
2756314
1602
45:57
find maybe in a shop or a restaurant or a small cafe.
694
2757916
5105
46:03
I know we have them here in much.
695
2763421
2236
46:05
Wenlock We have some very small cafes
696
2765657
2669
46:08
and when you pay there is a small jar
697
2768827
2836
46:12
or a container and that is called a tip jar.
698
2772330
3804
46:16
So you can leave a little bit of extra money in the tip jar.
699
2776968
4038
46:21
And then at the end of the day, that money is divided between the step.
700
2781873
5138
46:27
However,
701
2787979
1935
46:30
a big controversy over the years has been
702
2790615
3303
46:33
how tips are actually divided between the staff
703
2793918
4472
46:38
or whether the owner of the business
704
2798890
2436
46:41
is entitled to take the tip
705
2801793
3303
46:46
and then give it back to the employees in a very small amount.
706
2806030
5206
46:52
So it has been something that has been discussed quite a lot
707
2812170
3904
46:56
over the years, quite a lot.
708
2816074
4071
47:01
It is true.
709
2821279
1101
47:02
Oh, hello, Jemmy from Hong Kong.
710
2822380
2002
47:04
Thank you very much for your tip.
711
2824415
3070
47:07
All right, you say very generous.
712
2827485
2002
47:09
Thank you very much.
713
2829487
1368
47:10
Jemmy from Hong Kong asks, Could you share your staycation experience?
714
2830855
5606
47:16
If you have, how do you pronounce the word grand or grandeur?
715
2836461
5105
47:22
Well, some people say grand jewel.
716
2842333
2102
47:24
Some people say grandeur.
717
2844435
2269
47:26
Grandeur or grandeur.
718
2846704
2603
47:30
You are living or staying in a place that is opulent.
719
2850308
4438
47:35
Maybe a palace.
720
2855647
2435
47:38
Maybe you are being treated to a five star hotel.
721
2858082
4438
47:42
I've never stayed at a five star hotel,
722
2862787
3570
47:46
although I have stayed at a place
723
2866991
3537
47:50
that was almost five star.
724
2870528
2770
47:53
And that was when I was in Portugal with Mr.
725
2873798
2369
47:56
Steve.
726
2876167
1235
47:57
And we had we had a holiday, a free holiday,
727
2877402
2936
48:00
and we stayed in the most amazing place in Portugal.
728
2880905
4037
48:06
And it was
729
2886110
1302
48:07
well, I would say it was very posh, very nice, a lovely place.
730
2887412
4437
48:11
It was like living in another world.
731
2891849
2236
48:14
I've always wondered what it must be like to be rich.
732
2894485
4772
48:19
And I can safely say during my time in Portugal when I was staying there with Mr.
733
2899257
5639
48:24
Steve and it doesn't it didn't cost us anything.
734
2904896
3670
48:28
It was credible, but it was nice.
735
2908566
5305
48:34
It was nice
736
2914172
1668
48:36
to enjoy that.
737
2916641
1868
48:39
The word grunge or.
738
2919310
1468
48:40
Yes, something opulent, something posh,
739
2920778
3937
48:44
something sophisticated, a place, a restaurant, a hotel.
740
2924982
4638
48:50
You are enjoy showing the grandeur
741
2930121
3403
48:53
of the sophisticated life.
742
2933524
2936
48:58
Not everyone can have that, including me.
743
2938196
3670
49:03
Even though people still think that I'm rich.
744
2943901
2169
49:06
But I'm not. I can tell you now.
745
2946070
2870
49:08
Definitely not
746
2948940
2402
49:11
my hand on my heart and my hand on my pancreas.
747
2951342
3804
49:15
I can safely say that I am not rich.
748
2955146
3270
49:19
I am £1,000,000 short
749
2959417
3436
49:24
of becoming a millionaire,
750
2964155
1902
49:26
which means I'm not a millionaire.
751
2966057
3503
49:29
But thank you very much for thinking that I am.
752
2969794
2669
49:32
It's very kind of you.
753
2972463
1468
49:33
I take that as a compliment.
754
2973931
3203
49:37
Very nice of you.
755
2977134
1235
49:38
So to answer your question, Jemmy.
756
2978369
2302
49:40
Yes, I have had experiences
757
2980671
3203
49:43
of staying in the UK.
758
2983874
4105
49:48
So when we when we talk about staycation,
759
2988012
3337
49:52
it is a way of expressing a holiday that you take in your own country.
760
2992049
4838
49:57
So, for example, I leave the UK, I stay in the UK,
761
2997455
5639
50:03
so I'm staying in the place where I live normally
762
3003527
3337
50:07
the country or the area.
763
3007465
2535
50:10
A staycation. It's a great word.
764
3010000
2636
50:13
So it is a combination of the word stay,
765
3013003
2703
50:16
which means remain where you are and vacation, which means to have a holiday.
766
3016507
5606
50:23
So you are
767
3023114
533
50:23
basically going on holiday in your own country.
768
3023647
4472
50:28
And it is popular because we have lots of lovely places
769
3028119
3470
50:31
that you can visit in the UK
770
3031589
2202
50:35
and sometimes you might stay
771
3035259
2302
50:37
at a nice hotel or a small cafe.
772
3037561
3337
50:41
Perhaps you are visiting another area
773
3041232
3103
50:44
and you receive very good service from the waiter or the waitress
774
3044635
4771
50:49
and you might offer a tip, you give something extra.
775
3049840
4838
50:55
But it is very nice when you can do it.
776
3055880
2936
50:59
Palmira.
777
3059550
1234
51:00
Oh, interesting.
778
3060784
2369
51:04
Oh, Palmira says
779
3064255
2469
51:07
once we stayed at a five star hotel.
780
3067224
4071
51:11
Wow. I'm impressed.
781
3071996
2102
51:15
Very impressed.
782
3075065
1902
51:17
And it was in Turkey.
783
3077635
1735
51:19
We even saw that there there were seven star hotels.
784
3079370
5238
51:25
I think I might be wrong here
785
3085609
2670
51:28
because I've never been to the Middle East, but I believe
786
3088279
4671
51:33
that in certain parts of Saudi Arabia, maybe also Qatar,
787
3093050
4571
51:38
that there
788
3098856
767
51:39
are seven star hotels, very expensive place, Saudi Arabia,
789
3099623
4938
51:45
the United Arab Emirates, those sort of places.
790
3105129
3470
51:48
They often have very nice hotels, but I cannot afford to go there.
791
3108832
5306
51:54
I will be honest now.
792
3114571
1702
51:56
I don't think I'm ever going to be able to go to places
793
3116273
4004
52:00
like Saudi Arabia or any Middle Eastern country because it's too expensive.
794
3120277
4638
52:05
I can't afford it.
795
3125282
1635
52:06
I could not on my very small
796
3126917
3537
52:10
YouTube allowance.
797
3130754
2703
52:13
I can't.
798
3133457
1101
52:15
Florence says If I am very pleased
799
3135526
2335
52:17
with the person serving me, a waiter or waitress,
800
3137861
3604
52:21
I will always give a tip
801
3141865
3237
52:25
if they have given me good service.
802
3145335
2937
52:29
Well, of course, these days there are many ways
803
3149206
2169
52:31
of showing your appreciation and for good service.
804
3151375
3703
52:35
There are many ways of showing your appreciation
805
3155479
3570
52:39
not only with money, but also with your comments or your compliments.
806
3159049
4404
52:43
There are many websites nowadays that allow you to do the same thing.
807
3163954
3904
52:47
You can leave a comment about a place
808
3167858
3236
52:51
that you stayed at as well, but I think a lot of people prefer it
809
3171094
5706
52:56
if you leave a tip a little bit of extra money.
810
3176900
3470
53:00
And the reason why this is often expected
811
3180737
4004
53:04
is because people working in the hotel industry or
812
3184741
4271
53:09
in the service industry, maybe serving food
813
3189379
3470
53:12
or working as a waiter or waitress or a busboy,
814
3192916
4138
53:18
which is
815
3198021
634
53:18
something you often hear talked about in the United States.
816
3198655
3904
53:22
A busboy is a person who takes away
817
3202759
3037
53:25
all of the dishes and the plates
818
3205796
3703
53:29
after the customer has finished eating.
819
3209599
3504
53:33
So they are basically taking all of the dishes and the plates away from the table.
820
3213637
4338
53:38
They are handling all of the dirty plates and cutlery,
821
3218342
5839
53:45
but quite often all of these types
822
3225549
2669
53:48
of jobs are not very well paid.
823
3228218
2269
53:51
You don't earn much money.
824
3231621
1435
53:53
And that is one of the reasons why tips are often given.
825
3233056
5572
53:59
Claudia says My niece was a waitress
826
3239229
3270
54:02
in Denmark last year and she received very good
827
3242499
4171
54:06
tips from American visitors.
828
3246670
3503
54:10
You might find that, I wonder,
829
3250640
2436
54:13
and I know that I'm on very dangerous ground saying this.
830
3253510
5639
54:19
I might get into trouble.
831
3259149
1768
54:20
I might get into a lot of trouble here.
832
3260917
2703
54:25
Please don't take it personally.
833
3265021
1936
54:26
I wonder which nation
834
3266957
2035
54:30
is the most generous
835
3270060
2369
54:32
when it comes to giving tips?
836
3272429
2636
54:36
What have I done?
837
3276800
767
54:37
Maybe I shouldn't say that.
838
3277567
1602
54:39
Maybe I should just forget about that completely.
839
3279169
2302
54:41
But I wonder. I wonder which nation.
840
3281471
1969
54:43
I wonder if there is a nation or a nationality
841
3283440
3303
54:47
that is the most generous.
842
3287143
3404
54:50
So Claudia said that Americans, people from the USA, when they are travelling around the world,
843
3290814
6239
54:57
they are quite generous when they are giving
844
3297053
2937
55:00
tips. Mm.
845
3300457
2702
55:06
Mm hmm.
846
3306429
2736
55:09
Hello, Duchess.
847
3309666
1468
55:11
My experience of a five star hotel was not very good.
848
3311134
4705
55:16
I went there
849
3316473
2435
55:19
for an interview so I could get happy.
850
3319509
3370
55:23
But. Oh, so I couldn't get happy.
851
3323213
2135
55:25
It was very tense.
852
3325882
2536
55:29
Tense?
853
3329019
834
55:29
You felt nervous about the situation.
854
3329853
2602
55:33
So I've only stayed at a very I've only stayed at a couple of nice hotels,
855
3333189
4738
55:37
another one that I stayed at once again connected to Mr.
856
3337927
3604
55:41
Steve's work was Where was it?
857
3341531
3904
55:45
Oh, the Hilton.
858
3345468
1435
55:46
The Hilton Hotel in Manchester.
859
3346903
2236
55:50
If you've ever seen the Hilton Hotel, it is a very unusual building.
860
3350006
4171
55:54
It is a very thin, tall building.
861
3354944
2970
55:58
And I always think it looks as if it's going to fall over.
862
3358148
3737
56:01
So if you've ever seen the Hilton Hotel in Manchester,
863
3361885
3036
56:05
it's a very unusual looking building.
864
3365555
2369
56:07
And we were staying in one of the very high
865
3367924
3003
56:10
building, high rooms near the top.
866
3370927
3303
56:14
The view was lovely, but I have to say I felt a little nervous
867
3374864
4271
56:19
because the building is very thin, it's very tall and thin.
868
3379135
3671
56:23
It's very unusual.
869
3383106
1234
56:24
You don't often see tall, thin buildings, but it was very nice.
870
3384340
5906
56:30
I think that was Four Star.
871
3390246
2202
56:32
I don't think it was five star.
872
3392448
1969
56:34
I think it only had four stars, to be honest.
873
3394417
2402
56:37
But no, I haven't stayed in many posh hotels in my life.
874
3397554
4337
56:43
I wish I could.
875
3403226
1034
56:44
I really do.
876
3404260
1402
56:45
It would be so nice.
877
3405662
3069
56:49
Can I say hello to. Oh, we have.
878
3409065
3303
56:52
Who else is here today? Manuel.
879
3412435
3237
56:56
Hello, Manuel.
880
3416105
1202
56:57
You are not Manuel from Fawlty Towers, are you?
881
3417307
2702
57:00
I wonder.
882
3420910
1235
57:02
The bill also includes meals, drinks, taxes and services.
883
3422145
5572
57:07
So tips are not compulsory in Spain.
884
3427717
3003
57:11
That is very interesting.
885
3431187
1535
57:12
And that was why I asked the question earlier.
886
3432722
3403
57:16
So if you go to a certain country,
887
3436559
2636
57:19
maybe you are not expected
888
3439195
2703
57:22
to actually give a tip.
889
3442365
4171
57:26
Can you hear the phone ringing?
890
3446969
2870
57:30
Is it my imagination? I'm not sure.
891
3450006
2336
57:33
Hello to
892
3453176
2869
57:37
Inaki, who says perhaps it has something to do with the wages
893
3457013
3603
57:40
that they are paid or the personnel or the people working there.
894
3460616
4772
57:45
I think so.
895
3465722
1034
57:46
Well, as I've said before, people who work in restaurants or cafes
896
3466756
4805
57:51
quite often don't receive very good salary.
897
3471661
5305
57:57
They don't.
898
3477033
667
57:59
So they often need tips,
899
3479168
2002
58:02
too. I wish somebody would answer that phone.
900
3482772
2669
58:07
Okay, stop now.
901
3487677
1802
58:09
That's annoying.
902
3489779
2369
58:13
So what about me?
903
3493349
701
58:14
Do I ever leave tips?
904
3494050
1568
58:15
Sometimes.
905
3495618
1101
58:16
But unfortunately, my tips are not very large.
906
3496719
3604
58:20
I'm afraid so.
907
3500423
1668
58:22
If you ever see me come in to your restaurant or cafe,
908
3502091
4404
58:28
please don't expect a big tip from me.
909
3508130
3037
58:31
I will give a tip if the service is amazing
910
3511334
3537
58:34
and if I'm impressed.
911
3514871
3069
58:38
But my tip will not be as big as Mr.
912
3518074
2235
58:40
Steve's.
913
3520309
1735
58:42
Last week, Steve gave a very big tip
914
3522578
2803
58:46
to a lovely young lady who was serving
915
3526182
2202
58:48
us, and she was so lovely.
916
3528384
2603
58:51
In fact, we all said at the time she was very lovely, very young,
917
3531387
3737
58:55
and really, really pleasant and charming and helpful.
918
3535691
3604
59:00
So Steve gave
919
3540863
1001
59:01
her £10.
920
3541864
3670
59:07
Amazing.
921
3547470
1134
59:08
So if you are really lucky, maybe one day you will get to see Mr.
922
3548871
3570
59:12
Steve
923
3552441
1135
59:14
in a cafe or restaurant or hotel.
924
3554110
2903
59:18
You are guaranteed a very big tip.
925
3558447
4505
59:24
Oh, Claudia says, never
926
3564987
2069
59:27
stay in an apartment over the 10th floor because you will feel the wind.
927
3567056
5405
59:32
Well, I have heard this.
928
3572862
1301
59:34
Apparently, very tall buildings do move
929
3574163
3370
59:39
only a very little bit.
930
3579935
1202
59:41
It's not a lot.
931
3581137
1268
59:42
So the building isn't swaying from side to side like that.
932
3582405
3903
59:46
But if you stay in a very tall building,
933
3586776
2702
59:49
you can actually sometimes maybe, perhaps
934
3589478
3971
59:53
feel that the building is moving,
935
3593849
2169
59:56
although I don't think that's true, to be honest.
936
3596685
2169
59:59
It might move a little bit, maybe just a couple of millimetres each way.
937
3599288
5172
60:04
But I'm not sure about.
938
3604460
1868
60:08
I'm not sure about feeling the movement.
939
3608130
2736
60:11
I've never stayed in a tall building where I could feel
940
3611033
3036
60:14
the building moving.
941
3614637
2335
60:17
And if it was moving.
942
3617206
2302
60:19
All I can say is I would get out of the have very quickly.
943
3619508
4138
60:23
Pretty quickly.
944
3623979
1802
60:25
Alessandra is going now.
945
3625781
1869
60:27
See you later, Alessandra.
946
3627650
1668
60:29
Thank you for joining me today.
947
3629318
1935
60:31
We have been talking about leaving tips, gratuities.
948
3631253
5506
60:37
You leave some extra money to show your appreciation.
949
3637359
4772
60:43
Another thing a lot of people have been appreciating over the past few days.
950
3643098
4672
60:48
Have you been watching the tennis?
951
3648337
3003
60:51
The tennis is taking place at the moment in Wimbledon.
952
3651340
2402
60:54
Yes. Have you been watching it?
953
3654109
2002
60:56
Well, guess what.
954
3656145
2002
60:58
We have.
955
3658147
76309
62:14
There it was. Well, that was not Wimbledon.
956
3734456
2202
62:16
Don't worry.
957
3736658
1402
62:18
That was Mr.
958
3738393
568
62:18
Steve and myself playing tennis in the garden.
959
3738961
2736
62:22
Hello, everyone.
960
3742564
1135
62:23
Welcome to English Addicts on Wednesday.
961
3743699
3837
62:29
And it's very nice to see you here today.
962
3749504
3170
62:33
Mika is going. See you later, Mika.
963
3753508
2570
62:36
You can, of course, watch the live stream
964
3756378
3270
62:39
or at least the recording of the live stream a little bit later on.
965
3759648
5038
62:45
I hope you will enjoy it.
966
3765187
2969
62:48
I hope you will.
967
3768490
1168
62:49
Sandra says, I love the video where you are playing tennis.
968
3769658
3904
62:53
Thank you very much.
969
3773595
1135
62:54
Florence says is the famous Swiss
970
3774730
4070
62:58
player Roger Federer at Wimbledon.
971
3778934
3770
63:03
I really don't know.
972
3783038
1635
63:04
He wasn't playing this year.
973
3784673
1835
63:06
No, there was no Roger Federer.
974
3786508
2469
63:09
No, he wasn't there.
975
3789444
2536
63:11
Nadal is there.
976
3791980
3003
63:14
I'm not sure how well he's doing.
977
3794983
1668
63:16
But last week when Steve was
978
3796651
2403
63:20
watching TV with his mum
979
3800555
2603
63:23
and also I was there for most of the time.
980
3803492
2702
63:26
In fact, can I just say last week I spent
981
3806394
3537
63:30
all of my time last week with Mr.
982
3810899
2970
63:33
Steve's mother almost all of the time, because Mr.
983
3813869
5138
63:39
Steve was going out to work and also to his rehearsals.
984
3819007
5873
63:44
So I spent a lot of time last week with Mr.
985
3824913
2769
63:47
Steve's mother, and we were watching the tennis.
986
3827682
3270
63:51
And apparently Roger Federer is Mr.
987
3831520
3169
63:54
Steve's mother's favourite tennis player, apparently
988
3834689
5873
64:01
her most favourite tennis player.
989
3841830
2069
64:05
Hello, sir.
990
3845367
1501
64:06
Oh, Sonny Shastra. Hello, Sonny.
991
3846868
3170
64:10
Nice see you here today.
992
3850038
1502
64:11
I could do with some of your sunshine.
993
3851540
2402
64:14
To be honest, it would be ever so nice.
994
3854276
2402
64:17
Today we're looking at mouth idioms, and I thought it would be
995
3857545
3437
64:20
interesting to have a look at that, because in the English language,
996
3860982
4371
64:25
you might be surprised to find out just
997
3865353
3170
64:28
how many mouth idioms there are.
998
3868523
3904
64:32
There are quite a lot of them,
999
3872694
3003
64:35
and that's what we are going to look at now for the next few minutes.
1000
3875864
3837
64:40
Mouth, idioms and expressions is what we are looking at now,
1001
3880201
6307
64:47
and there are lots of them, to be honest.
1002
3887609
2803
64:50
And here is one example right now
1003
3890679
2535
64:54
to put your money where your mouth is.
1004
3894716
2202
64:56
If you put your money where your mouth is, it means you are proving
1005
3896918
3837
65:01
the thing that you are boasting about.
1006
3901022
2736
65:04
So a person who is showing off or talking about their abilities
1007
3904025
3937
65:07
quite often you will have to prove that you can do it.
1008
3907962
3504
65:11
Maybe a person says they are very good
1009
3911800
2469
65:14
at a certain sport,
1010
3914702
2370
65:17
or maybe they are at playing a certain instrument.
1011
3917472
3704
65:22
Maybe.
1012
3922043
567
65:22
Maybe someone else will ask for proof.
1013
3922610
2436
65:26
You have to show that what you are saying
1014
3926047
2770
65:29
is something that you can really do.
1015
3929284
2035
65:31
We are saying that you should put your money where your mouth is.
1016
3931953
3070
65:36
You should prove that thing to be correct.
1017
3936024
4337
65:40
Correct.
1018
3940495
734
65:42
So maybe I say,
1019
3942430
1468
65:43
Oh, I'm the greatest English teacher in the world. Old.
1020
3943898
4438
65:48
Someone might say, Mr.
1021
3948703
1602
65:50
Duncan, you have to put your money where your mouth is.
1022
3950305
3270
65:54
Now you have to prove the thing
1023
3954075
2603
65:56
that you are talking about or saying is true.
1024
3956678
3870
66:00
You have to put your money where your mouth is.
1025
3960615
3470
66:05
Another very similar one to be all mouth and trousers.
1026
3965119
5706
66:10
A person who often says that they can do things,
1027
3970825
4772
66:15
or maybe a person who talks about their abilities all the time.
1028
3975597
5772
66:21
But they never show those abilities.
1029
3981736
2035
66:23
They never prove their abilities.
1030
3983771
2937
66:26
They are just talking.
1031
3986708
1735
66:28
A person who just talks and talks
1032
3988443
3136
66:32
about their abilities or the things they can do.
1033
3992213
3670
66:36
They are always talking.
1034
3996317
1402
66:37
They are all mouth and trousers.
1035
3997719
3937
66:42
A person who just talks a lot about the things they can do.
1036
4002190
5672
66:49
Here's another one.
1037
4009764
734
66:50
I like this one.
1038
4010498
968
66:51
This is one that I can definitely relate to.
1039
4011466
4004
66:56
To put your in your mouth.
1040
4016637
2203
66:59
Quite a lot of times in my life,
1041
4019741
2369
67:02
I have put my foot in my mouth
1042
4022110
3503
67:05
to say the wrong thing at the wrong time.
1043
4025947
2869
67:09
You say something that is inappropriate,
1044
4029083
2770
67:12
or maybe you say something that you should not be talking about.
1045
4032253
4304
67:16
Maybe you reveal a secret
1046
4036958
2102
67:19
that everyone else is trying to keep hidden away,
1047
4039894
2636
67:23
but you reveal it by saying something.
1048
4043131
3036
67:27
You reveal the secret.
1049
4047068
1935
67:29
You might say that you put your foot in your mouth.
1050
4049003
2936
67:32
You did something, you said something.
1051
4052640
2469
67:35
And now there are problems because of what you said.
1052
4055343
3904
67:39
You put your foot in your mouth.
1053
4059413
3104
67:44
Here's another one.
1054
4064051
868
67:44
I like this one very much.
1055
4064919
2102
67:47
Word of mouth.
1056
4067021
2236
67:49
When we talk about word of mouth, we are talking about something that has been
1057
4069257
5505
67:55
big. Well, it's become well known
1058
4075796
2169
67:58
because of people talking about it.
1059
4078966
2403
68:01
So quite often, we often think of advertising, publicity.
1060
4081369
4304
68:06
But quite often you have to pay for that.
1061
4086741
2636
68:09
And some people believe that the best type of publicity,
1062
4089377
3570
68:13
if you want people to find out about your business,
1063
4093180
2903
68:16
is to get people to talk about it.
1064
4096717
2937
68:19
Word of mouth.
1065
4099954
2402
68:22
Quite often that is the way people know
1066
4102356
3170
68:25
about something or learn about something
1067
4105526
2503
68:29
through talking.
1068
4109130
2068
68:31
Word of mouth.
1069
4111198
1368
68:32
How did you find out about Mr.
1070
4112566
3170
68:35
Duncan's YouTube channel?
1071
4115736
3270
68:39
I found out through word of mouth.
1072
4119006
3670
68:43
Someone told me about it.
1073
4123077
2202
68:46
Here's another one to mouth off at someone.
1074
4126847
5139
68:52
If you mouth off, it means you are shouting or screaming
1075
4132319
4105
68:56
or being abusive to someone.
1076
4136424
2736
68:59
You are being rude to someone.
1077
4139460
2302
69:02
Your words are the things you are saying are rude and hurtful.
1078
4142663
5439
69:08
You mouth off at someone to show disrespect
1079
4148469
4538
69:13
through what you say is also mouth off.
1080
4153374
3870
69:17
Young people will often mouth off to their parents.
1081
4157912
5238
69:23
They don't show any respect to their parents.
1082
4163651
3570
69:28
Here's another one.
1083
4168923
967
69:29
To leave someone
1084
4169890
2436
69:34
open mouthed.
1085
4174061
2269
69:36
If you leave a person open mouthed,
1086
4176330
2236
69:38
it means you leave them
1087
4178566
3603
69:42
speechless or stunned.
1088
4182303
3036
69:46
You leave a person
1089
4186073
3237
69:49
open mouthed.
1090
4189410
1434
69:50
Maybe you say something.
1091
4190844
1368
69:52
Maybe you do something that makes another person shocked.
1092
4192212
3437
69:56
You shock someone.
1093
4196050
1468
69:57
You leave that person amazed.
1094
4197518
5305
70:02
I can't believe it.
1095
4202823
3036
70:06
I. I'm open mouthed.
1096
4206560
5572
70:12
Can't believe that happened.
1097
4212900
2769
70:15
Amazing.
1098
4215703
1401
70:17
I can't believe that so many people resigned
1099
4217104
4538
70:22
from the British government yesterday.
1100
4222943
2035
70:25
I am open mouthed.
1101
4225579
2936
70:29
I'm shocked.
1102
4229049
1535
70:31
I'm going to cough.
1103
4231385
3170
70:34
Maybe.
1104
4234555
2736
70:37
Maybe not.
1105
4237291
3437
70:40
Something I haven't mentioned, by the way.
1106
4240728
1968
70:42
My hay fever has almost gone.
1107
4242696
4238
70:47
Now we are into July.
1108
4247101
2002
70:49
My hay fever has almost gone.
1109
4249136
2536
70:52
Here we go.
1110
4252773
600
70:53
Another mouth idiom to do something.
1111
4253373
3738
70:57
Tongue in cheek.
1112
4257778
1501
70:59
Tongue in cheek.
1113
4259279
2303
71:01
Something you say or do that you don't really mean.
1114
4261582
4004
71:05
Maybe you are joking.
1115
4265686
1368
71:07
Maybe you are being sarcastic.
1116
4267054
2202
71:09
Maybe you are just saying something.
1117
4269256
2869
71:12
But you don't really mean it. You are doing it
1118
4272459
3003
71:17
tongue in cheek.
1119
4277197
2503
71:19
You don't really mean it.
1120
4279700
1835
71:21
It is something that you are just pretending to do.
1121
4281535
2602
71:24
Or maybe you are saying something because you want other people to find it funny.
1122
4284638
5372
71:30
But it's not true. It's not real.
1123
4290777
2336
71:33
It is something you are joking about.
1124
4293113
2236
71:36
It tongue in cheek.
1125
4296350
4604
71:41
Here's another one.
1126
4301521
1302
71:42
This one also is connected to your tongue.
1127
4302823
3703
71:48
To bite your tongue
1128
4308629
2268
71:50
or to bite one's tongue
1129
4310897
2236
71:53
is to stop yourself
1130
4313734
2435
71:56
from saying something that you will regret.
1131
4316470
2669
71:59
Maybe there is something you want to say to another person
1132
4319573
2836
72:02
because you feel angry towards them.
1133
4322409
2603
72:05
You want to say something to them, but you know that.
1134
4325479
4437
72:09
That person would never forgive you.
1135
4329916
1869
72:11
So you have to
1136
4331785
1969
72:14
bite your tongue.
1137
4334087
2136
72:16
You are stopping yourself from saying something that you might regret.
1138
4336623
4538
72:21
You are making sure that you don't say the wrong thing.
1139
4341862
3336
72:25
So. So you bite your tongue.
1140
4345665
2670
72:28
It is often figuratively
1141
4348935
2603
72:32
or as an idiom.
1142
4352039
4104
72:36
A person who is nervous.
1143
4356143
1668

1144
4357811
3904
72:41
tied or tongue tied.

2602
72:45
You become
1146
4365118
701
72:48
nervous.
1147
4368321
1235
72:49
You feel anxious about doing something.
1148
4369556
2569
72:52
You will become tongue tied.
1149
4372225
2970
72:55
You don't know what to say because you are nervous.
1150
4375695
2870
72:58
You have lost your nerve. You are afraid.
1151
4378799
2836
73:01
You are scared.
1152
4381935
1435
73:03
You become
1153
4383370
3570
73:08
tongue tied.
1154
4388108
2836
73:11
You might tell someone to hold their tongue.
1155
4391278
2502
73:14
You hold your tongue.
1156
4394481
2836
73:17
You are telling that person to stop talking
1157
4397317
2569
73:20
or to stop saying the things they are saying.
1158
4400520
3370
73:24
Hold your tongue.
1159
4404457
2269
73:27
Stop saying those things.
1160
4407761
2068
73:29
You Naughty person.
1161
4409829
2236
73:32
You tell them to stop saying
1162
4412065
2302
73:35
what they are saying.
1163
4415769
1968
73:37
What they are talking about.
1164
4417737
2203
73:39
Hold your tongue.
1165
4419940
1668
73:42
Don't say it.
1166
4422008
1602
73:43
Just keep it to yourself.
1167
4423677
1801
73:45
Don't say what you want to say.
1168
4425478
3471
73:48
Hold tongue.
1169
4428949
1801
73:51
Finally, we have to get
1170
4431351
3170
73:54
or to set tongues wagging.
1171
4434621
3136
73:58
A wagging tongue.
1172
4438425
3503
74:02
We often use the word wag to mean talk.
1173
4442395
4338
74:06
So a person is talking.
1174
4446933
2236
74:09
But when we talk about tongues wagging, we are talking about people gossiping.
1175
4449169
5038
74:14
They are talking to each other about another person's business or private life.
1176
4454574
4738
74:19
Tongues wagging.
1177
4459879
2369
74:22
People are gossiping.
1178
4462716
3236
74:26
If you gossip, it means your
1179
4466319
2436
74:30
tongue is wagging.
1180
4470724
2435
74:33
You are talking about someone, perhaps
1181

74:37
something private, concerning another person.
1182
4477030
2936
74:40
Gossip,
1183
4480133
1568
74:42
innuendo.
1184
4482802
2469
74:45
You are saying something that may or may not be true
1185
4485839
2969
74:49
and that create a lot of gossip.
1186
4489375
2503
74:52
It will get lots of people
1187
4492178
3270
74:55
tongue wagging.
1188
4495448
1835
74:57
They will gossip.
1189
4497283
2836
75:00
Their tongues will wag.
1190
4500119
2269
75:04
And that's it.
1191
4504190
1435
75:05
That is it for mouth idioms.
1192
4505692
3003
75:08
I know there are quite a few more as well.
1193
4508928
2202
75:11
Quite a few more.
1194
4511464
1301
75:12
Maybe we will cover those in another lesson.
1195
4512765
6640
75:19
Hello to create teach.
1196
4519405
2336
75:21
Hello. Create. Teach.
1197
4521774
1936
75:23
I like your name, by the way. That is very trendy.
1198
4523710
2836
75:26
That is stylish.
1199
4526746
2002
75:28
Thank you very much for joining me today.
1200
4528748
3070
75:31
There was a TV show apparently around
1201
4531818
3637
75:36
in the early to late 1990s.
1202
4536489
4471
75:41
And I'm going to share this with you very briefly before I go, because it is amazing
1203
4541594
4471
75:46
the sorts of things that you can find on YouTube, all sorts of strange things.
1204
4546466
5338
75:51
And I found a TV show that was made many years ago for children,
1205
4551804
5406
75:58
and it's a very unusual show,
1206
4558478
3503
76:03
but it is on YouTube and the name of the programme
1207
4563349
2903
76:07
is Costello or Atom Bomb.
1208
4567620
5205
76:13
I hope I'm pronouncing that right, but apparently this was a TV show,
1209
4573126
3236
76:16
very popular, made in Brazil,
1210
4576629
3470
76:20
but also it was shown in other parts of South America as well.
1211
4580099
3771
76:23
Very big in Brazil, apparently this show
1212
4583870
3336
76:28
and it's a kids show and it concerns a small castle,
1213
4588374
4671
76:33
as the name suggests, but it's no ordinary castle.
1214
4593913
3937
76:37
Would you like to see the castle?
1215
4597884
1368
76:39
Here is.
1216
4599252
2602
76:43
I don't think that's a real castle.
1217
4603556
2669
76:46
I really don't think that's real.
1218
4606325
2236
76:48
I think that might be a little plastic model.
1219
4608694
2236
76:50
I'm not sure.
1220
4610963
1869
76:52
Oh, come on, Mr. Duncan. Don't ruin the fun.
1221
4612832
2669
76:55
So in this show,
1222
4615501
2202
76:57
there were people living in this castle,
1223
4617803
1936
76:59
including this guy, Dr.
1224
4619739
3770
77:03
Victor.
1225
4623509
1135
77:04
Dr. Victor.
1226
4624710
1468
77:06
He was a 3000 year old man.
1227
4626178
2970
77:10
And apparently he was friends with Leonardo da Vinci,
1228
4630283
2936
77:14
and he was played by a very famous actor, Sergio.
1229
4634487
3837
77:18
And then Bharati, apparently.
1230
4638524
3270
77:21
And he sadly, he died, I think, last year.
1231
4641794
3504
77:25
A lot of people were talking about him last year, but he here's one of the characters he is.
1232
4645531
4905
77:30
Here's a wise old wizard.
1233
4650569
2536
77:34
And apparently he he is 3000 years old.
1234
4654073
3437
77:38
And then we have the eternal child.
1235
4658110
4371
77:42
Nino, can I just say I find this particular
1236
4662481
3871
77:46
character really annoying?
1237
4666352
3170
77:49
Yeah, it's quite annoying.
1238
4669622
2903
77:52
That's all I'm going to say about him.
1239
4672525
2235
77:54
But apparently he's 300 years old,
1240
4674760
2469
77:58
but he still behaves like a child.
1241
4678364
2302
78:03
I wonder if anyone knows this show.
1242
4683335
2103
78:05
Does anyone remember this show?
1243
4685705
2669
78:08
Castro him bum.
1244
4688374
1935
78:10
It's called.
1245
4690309
1301
78:11
And here it is.
1246
4691610
634
78:12
The scariest catch you've ever seen.
1247
4692244
2169
78:15
That is a scary looking cat.
1248
4695247
2469
78:18
If that cat came to my window
1249
4698350
2703
78:21
in the middle of the night, I think I would
1250
4701053
2403
78:24
pee and poop.
1251
4704890
1035
78:25
Poop? I bet with fear.
1252
4705925
2335
78:28
I think so.
1253
4708260
868
78:29
Definitely.
1254
4709128
1868
78:32
And finally, my favourite character.
1255
4712498
2269
78:35
Oh, there were there were some children as well in the show, but they were really annoying.
1256
4715234
6106
78:41
My favourite character must be this guy.
1257
4721340
2069
78:44
He was.
1258
4724343
634
78:44
He was the sentry on duty at the door
1259
4724977
3270
78:48
and he would pop out and he would talk to the visitors.
1260
4728480
4071
78:52
But I don't know why I'm strangely fascinated by this particular character.
1261
4732551
4972
78:57
So there it was, the TV show that I discovered
1262
4737790
2836
79:00
on YouTube called Costello Ratting Bum.
1263
4740626
3203
79:03
If you want to look it up, you can.
1264
4743829
2636
79:06
Does anyone else remember it?
1265
4746465
2503
79:08
Did anyone else watch it?
1266
4748968
2302
79:11
Am I the only person
1267
4751270
2235
79:13
that has seen this show since the 1990s?
1268
4753639
3203
79:17
Apparently it was a very famous programme shown all over the place,
1269
4757109
3237
79:20
right across South America, and now I know all about it
1270
4760746
4371
79:26
and so do you.
1271
4766685
1502
79:29
Thank you very much for your company.
1272
4769254
1535
79:30
A lot of people here today.
1273
4770789
2970
79:36
Claudia says,
1274
4776829
901
79:37
I have learnt that the mouth has many meanings.
1275
4777730
3470
79:41
We talk, we kiss, we eat, we put our feelings
1276
4781200
5238
79:47
or we express our feelings through our mouths.
1277
4787139
4371
79:51
I think you're right, the mouth.
1278
4791577
2002
79:54
It's a very interesting part of the body.
1279
4794847
2002
79:56
I always think it is one that is always on show.
1280
4796882
4338
80:01
You can always see a person's mouth.
1281
4801220
3436
80:05
Perhaps it is the part of the body that we are most
1282
4805157
3036
80:08
self-conscious about or off.
1283
4808193
2870
80:11
Some people have very big mouths.
1284
4811563
2336
80:15
Some people have small mouths.
1285
4815134
2936
80:18
And of course, you can't talk about the mouth
1286
4818070
2169
80:20
without talking about teeth as well.
1287
4820239
2469
80:23
So when you express yourself whilst you are talking
1288
4823275
3804
80:27
or maybe smiling, the teeth are also
1289
4827079
4204
80:32
part of your your physical appearance.
1290
4832484
3604
80:36
And I think a lot of people do worry about
1291
4836088
2903
80:39
how this part of their body actually looks to other people.
1292
4839591
4038
80:43
I think so.
1293
4843829
2502
80:47
Pedro Belmont.
1294
4847933
1868
80:49
Hello to Pedro Belmont.
1295
4849801
2803
80:53
What are you talking about?
1296
4853138
2369
80:55
I am talking about Castellano.
1297
4855941
2736
80:59
Rat him.
1298
4859177
3070
81:05
Apparently he was very popular
1299
4865050
2369
81:07
in South America in the early 1990s.
1300
4867419
2736
81:10
It is a very strange TV show and you can find it on YouTube.
1301
4870555
4004
81:14
There are actually episodes on YouTube.
1302
4874693
4104
81:19
Hello to Cool Boy.
1303
4879298
3336
81:22
Or should I say Cool Boy?
1304
4882634
3704
81:28
Hello, cool boy.
1305
4888607
1034
81:29
Nice to see you here.
1306
4889641
934
81:30
Yes, I am going to say.
1307
4890575
1469
81:32
Hello to you.
1308
4892044
4437
81:36
Do you know a programme called El Chavo?
1309
4896481
2803
81:39
It was a very popular programme from Mexico.
1310
4899551
2669
81:42
I've never seen that, to be honest.
1311
4902254
4137
81:46
Claudia says it is.
1312
4906391
3537
81:52
Some people, when they're talking, they will cover their mouth
1313
4912898
2969
81:56
because they think they have ugly teeth.
1314
4916168
3270
82:00
Mm hmm. Really?
1315
4920105
2035
82:02
So now, you know, I am going in a few moments.
1316
4922140
3037
82:05
I hope you've enjoyed today's live stream.
1317
4925177
2202
82:07
We've talked about a lot of things.
1318
4927379
2235
82:09
We've talked about tipping,
1319
4929915
2369
82:12
giving extra money for good service.
1320
4932717
4905
82:18
If you all were in a cafe or a restaurant, maybe you will receive good service.
1321
4938056
6507
82:24
And then you want to show your appreciation by giving some money in return,
1322
4944563
5905
82:30
which I think is lovely.
1323
4950468
2970
82:36
Hello to Mary.
1324
4956441
1301
82:37
Hello, Mary Fir.
1325
4957742
1836
82:39
Nice to see you as well.
1326
4959578
1468
82:41
By the way, I'm back with you on Sunday. Mr.
1327
4961046
2736
82:43
Steve will not be here on Sunday.
1328
4963782
3837
82:47
Unfortunately, there is no Mr.
1329
4967619
2035
82:49
Steve on Sunday.
1330
4969654
2169
82:51
But I will be here.
1331
4971823
2336
82:55
Thank you very much once again for your lovely messages concerning Mr.
1332
4975026
4505
82:59
Steve's mother.
1333
4979531
801
83:01
Inaki asks Mr.
1334
4981466
1502
83:02
Duncan, what does shut your gob mean?
1335
4982968
2702
83:06
Thank you very much for mentioning that Gob.
1336
4986371
2970
83:10
It's a great word, and it's used in
1337
4990241
2303
83:12
British English and it means mouth.
1338
4992544
2402
83:15
It is a slang word for mouth.
1339
4995547
2903
83:18
Gob It's a great word.
1340
4998950
3337
83:22
So if you someone to shut their gob,
1341
5002754
3503
83:26
you are telling them to be quiet.
1342
5006825
2536
83:29
Quite often used when a person is angry.
1343
5009361
3703
83:33
Shut your gob.
1344
5013431
1702
83:35
Yeah. Yeah.
1345
5015133
2069
83:37
Don't you say that.
1346
5017202
2536
83:39
Don't you say that to me.
1347
5019738
2235
83:41
Shut your gulp.
1348
5021973
1802
83:46
Another term we can use is cake hole
1349
5026010
2903
83:50
for your mouth as well.
1350
5030882
1802
83:52
We can say cake hole.
1351
5032684
2135
83:54
A person's cake hole
1352
5034819
2469
83:57
is their mouth.
1353
5037288
1068
83:58
That is another British word or British slang term
1354
5038356
4104
84:02
that we use to describe a person's mouth.
1355
5042527
3103
84:06
It is
1356
5046498
634
84:09
there is
1357
5049534
1068
84:10
an interesting expression in English as well.
1358
5050602
3370
84:14
A person might bite off
1359
5054305
2636
84:17
more than they can chew if a person bites
1360
5057308
3404
84:21
or bites off more than they can chew.
1361
5061279
3003
84:24
It means you have undertaken a task
1362
5064716
2769
84:27
or something you are trying to do, which is too much for you.
1363
5067952
2970
84:30
You can't do it.
1364
5070922
1234
84:32
You don't have the ability.
1365
5072156
1535
84:33
You don't have the strength to do it.
1366
5073691
2436
84:36
You bite off
1367
5076628
2168
84:38
more than you can chew.
1368
5078796
2002
84:41
That means you are trying to do something that you are not
1369
5081399
3971
84:45
capable of doing.
1370
5085837
2536
84:49
You bite off more than you can
1371
5089340
2169
84:51
chew.
1372
5091509
3904
84:55
Shut. Your gulp is shut your mouth. Yes.
1373
5095413
3470
84:59
We often use that in British English.
1374
