Richard (PS1K9) [903] well they're not my students
Jan (PS1KA) [904] oh ... and you've got better things to do with your own time ...
Richard (PS1K9) [905] I could have done with the two hundred and thirty quid though
Jan (PS1KA) [906] Well I know, but er
Richard (PS1K9) [907] Well that'll pay the ferry
Jan (PS1KA) [908] I know, I know it would have done
Richard (PS1K9) [909] which is what I was relying on it
Jan (PS1KA) [910] mm
Richard (PS1K9) [911] and I don't know what's gonna happen with my contract with nursery nurses in June then
Jan (PS1KA) [912] Well er, is any other servicing being done?

Jan (PS1KA) [928] Well we'll check that er
Richard (PS1K9) [...]
Jan (PS1KA) [929] no we'll check that you can still go with them, before Philip, cos Phil and Liz would appreciate an early warning
Richard (PS1K9) [930] Yeah
Jan (PS1KA) [931] if they can't, we'd better enquire about that ... I wonder how little went on with his knee?
Richard (PS1K9) [932] Yeah
Jan (PS1KA) [933] He would have been alright
Richard (PS1K9) [934] I think we'd have heard something
Jan (PS1KA) [935] mm ...
Richard (PS1K9) [936] so er, I've got two Beta awards, weekends to do, I could do one Peter's weekend now
Jan (PS1KA) [937] Mm ...
Richard (PS1K9) [938] that erm, that would mean I've just got one to do after half term, that er
Jan (PS1KA) [939] Well why are you doing that with them?
[940] If they, erm don't need it anyway.
Richard (PS1K9) [941] What d'ya mean?
Jan (PS1KA) [942] Do they need the Beta award?
Richard (PS1K9) [943] It's, it's a, it's an award, er ... it's the module if they haven't got any awards really, I will, I'll arrange for them to do er first aid
Jan (PS1KA) [944] Mm
Richard (PS1K9) [945] do their St John's first aid next term ...
Jan (PS1KA) [946] they don't appreciate it do they?
Richard (PS1K9) [947] No ...
Jan (PS1KA) [948] So do they see this as an imposition or
Richard (PS1K9) [949] no
Jan (PS1KA) [950] do they have to get
Richard (PS1K9) [951] I mean they're the ones who are badgering me for, for qualifications, they're badgering me for, I, I, I just told them straight that I will do it for them because I, I won't get paid for it
Jan (PS1KA) [952] mm ...
Richard (PS1K9) [953] on one condition
Jan (PS1KA) [954] What?
Richard (PS1K9) [955] the condition is there must be at least of 'em who are prepared to go, to bring me the money for the registration
Jan (PS1KA) [956] mm
Richard (PS1K9) [957] for the first day of next term, and once I've got that money and they're registered ...
Jan (PS1KA) [958] you'll have a go
Richard (PS1K9) [959] I'll have a go, but I'm not going to do it for two or three
Jan (PS1KA) [960] No, don't see why you should.
[961] [sigh] How much does it cost?
Richard (PS1K9) [962] Ten pounds
Jan (PS1KA) [963] Erm
Richard (PS1K9) [964] that says, tt, six pound, er, tt, three pound ten insurance and six pound ninety registration ... so that should sort that out
Jan (PS1KA) [965] Blimey you'll know soon enough won't ya? ...
Richard (PS1K9) [966] that's one thing for certain those weekends for averaging
Jan (PS1KA) [967] Oh how's it, how is this averaging working out?
Richard (PS1K9) [968] Not getting me for any extra hours that's a certain fact
Jan (PS1KA) [969] Well you put enough in
Richard (PS1K9) [970] er because they actually, I mean, the week, the week in Scotland we should have got overtime for that, but we haven't
Jan (PS1KA) [971] But that's averaged in is it?
Richard (PS1K9) [972] That's supposedly averaged in, yes, the fact is that Jenny and I both put in something like, well, it was five, forty, forty five hours plus technically that is classified as forty five hours class contact a week
Jan (PS1KA) [973] mm
Richard (PS1K9) [974] it's five nine hour days, five, three session days ... and er
Jan (PS1KA) [975] well why didn't you get paid overtime? ...
Richard (PS1K9) [976] [sigh] Because our esteemed leader won't pay it.
Jan (PS1KA) [977] So will you get time off in lieu?
Richard (PS1K9) [978] Oh technically get time off, time off in lieu, but I can't take it, so
Jan (PS1KA) [979] Well do you think it's time that you started taking time off in lieu?
[980] Make it erm
Richard (PS1K9) [981] I can't, you can't, cos they won't let you take time off in lieu unless ... if it involves them having to employ somebody else to cover ...
Jan (PS1KA) [982] But that's not the point, that's not time off is it?
Richard (PS1K9) [983] I can, the only time off in lieu you can take is, is D and D time.
Jan (PS1KA) [984] But you're off anyway
Richard (PS1K9) [985] Well I'm not off, I'm just working in the off in the office, so I can take possibly some Thursday mornings off
Jan (PS1KA) [986] Well, don't you think you ought to? ...
Richard (PS1K9) [987] Well I can't take any time off until after the exams, once the exams are over
Jan (PS1KA) [988] Well what do the unions say about this, I mean
Richard (PS1K9) [989] Well, the best way is to be ill after, after, after half term
Jan (PS1KA) [990] Like most of us, that probably explains why a few people are
Richard (PS1K9) [991] I mean at the moment, I mean from that one week
Jan (PS1KA) [992] mm
Richard (PS1K9) [993] they owe me twenty one hours, twenty, twenty eight hours
Jan (PS1KA) [994] mm
Richard (PS1K9) [995] er, from, I should get paid for the disabled games
Jan (PS1KA) [996] [laughing] yes []
Richard (PS1K9) [997] I hope to God I do get paid for that
Jan (PS1KA) [998] well how much do you expect for that?
Richard (PS1K9) [999] I expect six hours
Jan (PS1KA) [1000] Yeah, will that pay the ferry?
Richard (PS1K9) [1001] No, six hours is a, that'll be er, about a hundred quid
Jan (PS1KA) [1002] Oh it'll pay for a bit of the ferry ... but has, has no one approached the unions? ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1003] Er, I got paid, I got paid for the disabled games last year
Jan (PS1KA) [1004] Mm
Richard (PS1K9) [1005] so I should, er, that should have set the precedent, I get paid for it this year
Jan (PS1KA) [1006] well you got paid for your contracts, they let your contracts through the last time
Richard (PS1K9) [1007] er, then, so that's at least, well in fact that's more than sufficient, I should get paid more than six hours because I've been working on the students, on the disabled games all day Friday
Jan (PS1KA) [1008] mm
Richard (PS1K9) [1009] and probab er probably Thursday morning as, as well, so I'll probably have Thursday, Friday ... maybe Saturday, well, oh I should have, because by working on the games Thursday morning, that's another three hours, that's, brings me up to , twenty eight, yes twenty eight er ... er thirty one ... and er, I'll, I've got class top contacts time in the, in the afternoon, so that doesn't count, Friday I've got class, a two hour class, but er, tt, I'll be working outside, in fact that class will be cancelled that day, so it's er, so [...] four hours that's thirty six er, Saturday ... forty two, Tuesday ... erm ... tt, oh that week ... I'll have a ... six for Wednesday er ... nine Thursday ... er twelve ... for Tuesday another twelve, plus the evening twelve, plus two, plus another six, that's eight and a half, eighteen, another eighteen hours
Jan (PS1KA) [1010] mm
Richard (PS1K9) [1011] for that week
Jan (PS1KA) [1012] well what happens if you average more hours than you're supposed to average?
Richard (PS1K9) [1013] so, so, so what have I then forty two, so that's six and that's sixty hours
Jan (PS1KA) [1014] What was the, what was the point in averaging in the first place?
[1015] To make sure you worked a certain amount of time during the year?
Richard (PS1K9) [1016] Yes, to make certain that er, you didn't er have any time off, it, any time free after the, after the students have finished their exams
Jan (PS1KA) [1017] Oh, so what happens if you
Richard (PS1K9) [1018] all this, all this, it is, it is for, cos what they're trying, what they're trying to work is the fact that er you're supposed to have twenty one hours' class contact
Jan (PS1KA) [1019] Yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1020] and if er, what they're trying to do is ... so that you work say twenty three hours ... the class contact, you, you can't be averaged for more than two hours a week, so you need twenty three hours for the first two terms
Jan (PS1KA) [1021] mm
Richard (PS1K9) [1022] and er
Jan (PS1KA) [1023] that makes up for the time you, then doing the
Richard (PS1K9) [1024] after the exams or something like that, yes
Jan (PS1KA) [1025] but you, if you're due for time off in lieu, couldn't you take, couldn't you say that erm ... use that for the averages?
Richard (PS1K9) [1026] Tt, well at ... at the moment I am therefore due in actual fact two weeks' holiday
Jan (PS1KA) [1027] [sigh] That's a stupid situation
Richard (PS1K9) [1028] and if, and if I do two Beta award weekends
Jan (PS1KA) [1029] mm
Richard (PS1K9) [1030] I'm due three weeks' holiday
Jan (PS1KA) [1031] well er ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1032] so it's er ...
Jan (PS1KA) [1033] what happens if you're actually averaging more than twenty one hours throughout the year?
Richard (PS1K9) [1034] If I was doing more than my twenty one hours throughout the year
Jan (PS1KA) [1035] Do you get paid overtime?
Richard (PS1K9) [1036] you're supposed to get paid overtime ...
Jan (PS1KA) [1037] And will you be?
Richard (PS1K9) [1038] No
Jan (PS1KA) [sneeze]
Richard (PS1K9) [1039] no overtime is being paid
Jan (PS1KA) [1040] And have people stopped doing the work? ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1041] The interesting thing is some departments are still doing overtime
Jan (PS1KA) [1042] They're being paid?
Richard (PS1K9) [1043] Yeah, but, but our dep our, our department our fat slob won't allow it ... won't let us have any overtime
Jan (PS1KA) [1044] He wants time off in lieu.
Richard (PS1K9) [1045] he wants you to have time off in lieu
Jan (PS1KA) [1046] Well then why don't you take time off in lieu?
Richard (PS1K9) [1047] I can't take time off in lieu cos I haven't got any lieu time to take off
Jan (PS1KA) [1048] [laughing] You must have, you, you must have [] you keep telling me that you're doing all these extra hours and you're owed two weeks' holiday

Richard (PS1K9) [1088] that's the only time I can take off time off in lieu, which is annoying
Jan (PS1KA) [1089] Well why'd, I wish you would and I wish you'd er, they'd be a, what you needs is a concerted comprehensive effort from everybody ... be inconvenient as possible until the money stumps up ... don't know where the money comes from though ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1090] I don't know what to do, tt I can't really take that ... them all [...] take that er ... I don't want to kick the boat too hard
Jan (PS1KA) [1091] Why?
Richard (PS1K9) [1092] Tt, cos I don't want to be made redundant by being awkward
Jan (PS1KA) [1093] Well not until you're fifty anyway ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1094] I can't afford to go at fifty, I've gotta go till fifty five
Jan (PS1KA) [1095] What if they offered you ten years' redundant? ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1096] I couldn't even afford that because I haven't worked, even enough on my AVCs ...
Jan (PS1KA) [1097] [sighing] Aye [] ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1098] I've got to get that those AVCs er, I mean if I had to, if that happened, how would we pay off Brian?
Jan (PS1KA) [1099] Mm
Richard (PS1K9) [1100] How would the, I wouldn't have any money from the AVCs either ...
Jan (PS1KA) [1101] aye, well, just keep, keep on trucking
Richard (PS1K9) [1102] so it's keep
Jan (PS1KA) [1103] five years
Richard (PS1K9) [1104] so it's keep a high profile on the, on useful things and keep a low profile on the, on the others
Jan (PS1KA) [1105] mm, mm ... aye ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1106] the only way of doing it, except you know, you're known for, for all the good things, the good things you do ... just make certain that er ... we don't rock the boat [sigh] so you, so you
Jan (PS1KA) [1107] you crawled
Richard (PS1K9) [1108] you crawl and slave
Jan (PS1KA) [1109] yes, this is life.
[1110] ... What do you want as your little birthday present? ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1111] I don't know
Jan (PS1KA) [1112] Neither do I, that's why I'm asking you, cos I won't have time to shop
Richard (PS1K9) [1113] A Magi light torch then
Jan (PS1KA) [1114] What's a Magi light torch?
[1115] Where do I get one of them?
Richard (PS1K9) [1116] Steve's
Jan (PS1KA) [1117] Right ... has he got one? ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1118] Well he had one earlier in the year
Jan (PS1KA) [1119] Oh, right, what's the Magi light torch?
Richard (PS1K9) [1120] Just a little pocket, a little tiny, tiny torch with a very strong beam
Jan (PS1KA) [1121] Mm, mm, right, well you need a torch actually
Richard (PS1K9) [1122] mm
Jan (PS1KA) [1123] those head torches aren't very reliable ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1124] it's that or a new head torch, but if I got a new head torch it, it perhaps ... but they're about, they're about thirty quid I think
Jan (PS1KA) [1125] Well we've got one that doesn't work
Richard (PS1K9) [1126] the [...] one?
Jan (PS1KA) [1127] Yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1128] Oh it's all
Jan (PS1KA) [1129] the one Jim give you
Richard (PS1K9) [1130] yeah ... I never got it working
Jan (PS1KA) [1131] No
Richard (PS1K9) [1132] but I never tried really ... but they're the best ones you can buy
Jan (PS1KA) [1133] Yeah.
[1134] ... There was a bit in the paper today about er Ratners, in the Samuels outlet selling carriage clocks for three hundred pounds and claiming that they are solid mahogany cases, but as they're chipboard with a mahogany veneer, and er they've been had by the Trades Descriptions Act, three, who would pay three hundred pounds ... for a mahogany one anyway? ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1135] Couldn't get away with three
Jan (PS1KA) [1136] And how can they get away with charging three hundred pounds?
[1137] For a w for a carriage clock ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1138] Well, when you can pay fifteen hundred pounds for a watch
Jan (PS1KA) [1139] Yes but you expect the value in it
Richard (PS1K9) [1140] Ah, well what value is it, a watch tells the time ... whether it's three hundred pounds or three, three pounds
Jan (PS1KA) [1141] Or Mickey Mouse, yes ... it just depends on the, the metals used in it, the jewellery on it, the movement
Richard (PS1K9) [1142] mm ...
Jan (PS1KA) [1143] the maker's name ... [cough] [sniff] it must be bedtime now Dick
Richard (PS1K9) [1144] It must be getting close
Jan (PS1KA) [1145] mm, do you need a bath?
Richard (PS1K9) [1146] I could do with one I suppose
Jan (PS1KA) [1147] Well there's plenty of hot water ... you'd better get packing tomorrow night
Richard (PS1K9) [1148] Mm, get packing during the day
Jan (PS1KA) [1149] get packing, mm ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1150] cos I'm not going to work tomorrow
Jan (PS1KA) [1151] good ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1152] it is my day off, let's face it ...
Jan (PS1KA) [1153] Well you won't have a car, well you would
Richard (PS1K9) [1154] Oh I will, cos I'll have the Peugeot won't I?
Jan (PS1KA) [1155] Yes, they've got on quite well with the erm wall at the back, but there's, Geoff's got his car outside and the skip was in the police access road rather than ours
Richard (PS1K9) [1156] The skip's up there now?
Jan (PS1KA) [1157] Mm ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1158] Cos the skip was at the end there this, this morning, it was there at lunchtime, er, well when I went in
Jan (PS1KA) [1159] It was there in the morning, they've moved it since, I suppose they move it to where they're working but
Richard (PS1K9) [1160] Aye, probably er, it's probably mean it's a new skip probably
Jan (PS1KA) [1161] Mm
Richard (PS1K9) [1162] the other one was full
Jan (PS1KA) [1163] are they going to put railings up to the same height as the wall?
Richard (PS1K9) [1164] No
Jan (PS1KA) [1165] What are they going to do?
Richard (PS1K9) [1166] They're putting a flat coping up ...
Jan (PS1KA) [1167] Well, mm, won't that make it very easy for terrorists to, to hop over the low wall and avoid the enormous nine foot gate they've got, sticking up like a sore thumb now ... wouldn't that be rather redundant?
Richard (PS1K9) [1168] Yeah ... totally redundant
Jan (PS1KA) [1169] Will they now take it down?
Richard (PS1K9) [1170] I doubt it
Jan (PS1KA) [1171] I suppose it's to stop cars parking up now is it?
Richard (PS1K9) [1172] That would be the sensible thing, to remove that gate down to the far end
Jan (PS1KA) [1173] Aye, yes ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1174] but ... tt, it would probably ... cost more to go and take it down then it would be to, to get a new gate
Jan (PS1KA) [1175] I don't know what's supporting it, and they're going to erm ... [...] are they?
Richard (PS1K9) [1176] I would think so ... they've gotta go and plant, start planting ivies and things to drape down the wall [...]
Jan (PS1KA) [1177] I hope they're going to support the wall at the, our end ... they've done nothing, I suppose they've just taken it down, but they must be doing something to underpin it or bolster it
Richard (PS1K9) [1178] Not that I know of, er, I mean
Jan (PS1KA) [1179] Have you spoken to them?
Richard (PS1K9) [1180] I've spoken to the guy and he's, said the architect was coming at lunchtime
Jan (PS1KA) [1181] Mm
Richard (PS1K9) [1182] at two o'clock this afternoon, er, because he was, he thought they ought to go on, totally rebuild of the fire on the
Jan (PS1KA) [1183] Fire
Richard (PS1K9) [1184] corner particularly
Jan (PS1KA) [1185] yeah, well they need to ... what the main building?
Richard (PS1K9) [1186] Yeah
Jan (PS1KA) [1187] And the architectures needs to ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1188] cos it was hitting the wall, the whole thing was, you could watch the vibrations coming down the wall [laugh]
Jan (PS1KA) [1189] What, just, it's not a safe road then is it?
Richard (PS1K9) [1190] No
Jan (PS1KA) [1191] Especially if it's been loosened and clobbered.
[1192] ... Did he call the architect in?
[1193] Or was the architect due to come in?
Richard (PS1K9) [1194] The architect was due to come anyway.
Jan (PS1KA) [1195] Yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1196] So how far have they got now?
Jan (PS1KA) [1197] Well they're down by Anita and Bob's
Richard (PS1K9) [1198] Oh they've just got on well
Jan (PS1KA) [1199] mm
Richard (PS1K9) [1200] they were outside us about er eleven o'clock
Jan (PS1KA) [1201] mm ... er yeah they should be done by [yawning] Friday I should think [] cos if all they're doing is putting a coping edge on ... it'll make it look nicer at the back.
Richard (PS1K9) [1202] Yes, it'll give it more light
Jan (PS1KA) [1203] Mm
Richard (PS1K9) [1204] to the yard, to the, not to the yard but to the
Jan (PS1KA) [1205] to the lane
Richard (PS1K9) [1206] to the lane ...
Jan (PS1KA) [1207] they must do something about the park court this summer, get the perspex sheeting renew renewed
Richard (PS1K9) [1208] and er ... get some lead sheeting to, have to go and chip out the, out of the wall
Jan (PS1KA) [1209] Which wall?
Richard (PS1K9) [1210] Elsie's wall ... so that the water doesn't come down here, down the wall ... what you need to do is put the, lead sheeting ... chipping out from the, the block, chip, chip into the, the rendering, put lead sheeting into it, cement the rendering back in again
Jan (PS1KA) [1211] Mm ... we need
Richard (PS1K9) [1212] so so you, you've got a seal because otherwise all that happens is that er ... er you put the cement onto the, every time the, the water gets down the back of the cement, down the wall
Jan (PS1KA) [1213] Mm, I think we need to call, we get, get a builder in because we need that, that roof seeing to at the back. ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1214] That's gonna be expensive ...
Jan (PS1KA) [1215] Well, can't be helped, I mean we can't have water coming through that, that's down the soil pipe, can't have that open for ever
Richard (PS1K9) [1216] What's it like then I wonder?
Jan (PS1KA) [1217] Well it's still coming in ... it wasn't desperate, but it's still coming in ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1218] Dunno where it's coming from actually
Jan (PS1KA) [1219] No, that's the problem with flat roofs, bet we need a yard seeing, we need a ... [sigh] we need a, effort in the yard
Richard (PS1K9) [1220] Alright I can do that then two weeks before you break up
Jan (PS1KA) [1221] I don't, I don't think it's a job we can do, maybe if we get erm Angela's building contractor ... there's one or two little building jobs that we need, there's the damp patch in the chimney breast in there. ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1222] I'd ignore that
Jan (PS1KA) [1223] You can't ignore it ... it's the first thing a buyer will, a buyer's survey will pick up, especially as it was mentioned in our survey ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1224] Oh that means we've gotta totally dec redecorate that room
Jan (PS1KA) [1225] Well I want to do that anyway
Richard (PS1K9) [1226] Oh bloody hell ... I hate
Jan (PS1KA) [1227] more upheaval
Richard (PS1K9) [1228] What?
Jan (PS1KA) [1229] More upheaval for ya
Richard (PS1K9) [1230] Yeah, exactly ... unnecessary
Jan (PS1KA) [1231] It's not unnecessary
Richard (PS1K9) [1232] I mean it's not that long since that room was done
Jan (PS1KA) [1233] When was it done then?
Richard (PS1K9) [1234] I don't know
Jan (PS1KA) [1235] Well then
Richard (PS1K9) [1236] oh
Jan (PS1KA) [1237] and as you don't have anything to do with the decorating anyway I don't know what you're peeved about ... you like it before and then you like it after, and you're quite content to let me do the bit in the middle.
[1238] ... How much longer?
Richard (PS1K9) [1239] I don't know
Jan (PS1KA) [1240] Well let's have a, let's go to bed
Richard (PS1K9) [1241] Oh go and get this, finish this side off
Jan (PS1KA) [1242] Well how much longer is there on it?
Richard (PS1K9) [1243] I can't see ... it's very close to the end
Jan (PS1KA) [1244] Oh well
Richard (PS1K9) [1245] so we might as well get that forty five minutes finished
Jan (PS1KA) [1246] [sighing] oh yeah [] ... I've run out of conversation now ... you'll have to record Star Trek for me tomorrow.
Richard (PS1K9) [1247] As long as I haven't got to watch it
Jan (PS1KA) [1248] There was a nice moggy programme on yesterday.
Richard (PS1K9) [1249] Was there?
Jan (PS1KA) [1250] yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1251] What time was that on?
Jan (PS1KA) [1252] Half eight, Desmond Morris, Tiger and [...] showed you how a cat could use a door knob ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1253] Mm, how'd he get up to it?
Jan (PS1KA) [1254] Well it must have been a tall, a long cat and a low door [laugh] but it would lift the knocker and knock its way in
Richard (PS1K9) [1255] Must of been a tiger what the, well couldn't have been a cat
Jan (PS1KA) [1256] It was a cat
Richard (PS1K9) [1257] a cat, no cat'd, can reach a door knob
Jan (PS1KA) [1258] This one could, it could just about reach it over its paw and flicked it up and knocked on the door
Richard (PS1K9) [1259] That's huge
Jan (PS1KA) [1260] it doesn't matter, I've got it on tape ... cats are [...]
Richard (PS1K9) [1261] there is no way a cat no way a cat can reach that door knob
Jan (PS1KA) [1262] Well there's no way our cat could ... but this cat did
Richard (PS1K9) [1263] It must have been bloody huge
Jan (PS1KA) [1264] Well perhaps it was ... it was a long [...] I don't know, but it did and I'll show you on the video if you want
Richard (PS1K9) [1265] Oh I don't want to watch the video
Jan (PS1KA) [1266] You don't like moggies?
Richard (PS1K9) [1267] No
Jan (PS1KA) [1268] You do
Richard (PS1K9) [1269] I don't like moggies ...
Jan (PS1KA) [1270] lots of little black cats
Richard (PS1K9) [1271] I'll tell you one thing, nineteen ninety three had better come round
Jan (PS1KA) [1272] So you can take Puddy abroad
Richard (PS1K9) [1273] yeah, cos I'm not er paying, I'm not giving up my summer holidays and ... I want me five weeks
Jan (PS1KA) [1274] then Puddy will be able to have a pet passport, anti-rabies shot and she's away
Richard (PS1K9) [1275] Trouble is when, they take her abroad and travel in a caravan
Jan (PS1KA) [1276] Well by that time we'll be into caravans won't we? ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1277] cos I think we're going to lock her up during the day
Jan (PS1KA) [1278] Mm, you can't lock her in a tent can you?
Richard (PS1K9) [1279] No ... she'd do too much damage to a tent as well
Jan (PS1KA) [1280] Mm, mm she might do
Richard (PS1K9) [1281] What, might, would do, let's face it
Jan (PS1KA) [1282] Well she can only scratch it inside ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1283] she'd be climbing in the inside of it and ripping it
Jan (PS1KA) [1284] like Russell mouse, Russell
Richard (PS1K9) [1285] yeah
Jan (PS1KA) [1286] mouse does more damage than Puddy
Richard (PS1K9) [1287] What damage did he do?
Jan (PS1KA) [1288] Why he chewed the apron
Richard (PS1K9) [1289] Oh yes he did
Jan (PS1KA) [1290] little mouse [...] the apron ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1291] that's right he did yes the sod
Jan (PS1KA) [1292] Yeah [laugh] ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1293] What was that I told him, called?
Jan (PS1KA) [1294] Randolf, because he went under the car and then he [...] off ... [sigh] ... can you post my, the thing to the A A tomorrow?
Richard (PS1K9) [1295] Yes ...
Jan (PS1KA) [1296] Telling them where they can put their cards ... in the best possible term ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1297] That's ridiculous
Jan (PS1KA) [1298] well they must realize that they've undercut us considerably by everybody else
Richard (PS1K9) [1299] that's, that seemed like a total hundred percent that was
Jan (PS1KA) [1300] I know ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1301] er, there wasn't much difference if you didn't go abroad
Jan (PS1KA) [1302] no ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1303] but to, to go abroad three times, it'd be a hundred and, it'd cost two hun two hundred pounds
Jan (PS1KA) [1304] Extra?
Richard (PS1K9) [1305] Mm
Jan (PS1KA) [1306] Oh ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1307] cos it's forty six, fifty four and sixty eight I think it was
Jan (PS1KA) [1308] mm ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1309] and your membership on top of that
Jan (PS1KA) [1310] [yawning] plus your [...] [] and your Home Start and your Relay
Richard (PS1K9) [1311] Mm ... well I think this is, enough of this side
Jan (PS1KA) [1312] mm
Richard (PS1K9) [1313] enough it might have just about finished, I think we'll stop it at that then
Jan (PS1KA) [1314] fill the fill the thing

Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [...] ...
Richard (PS1K9) [1453] [phonecall starts] Hello ... hello [telephone conversation ends] .

Jan (PS1KA) [1455] What he say?
Richard (PS1K9) [1456] They were right in a middle of a meal
Jan (PS1KA) [1457] Right ...
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1458] [phonecall starts] Hello, hello there Dick it's Paul here
Richard (PS1K9) [1459] [phonecall starts] Hi.
[1460] Did you ring a moment ago?
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1461] Yes I did
Richard (PS1K9) [1462] Oh.
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1463] I didn't know whether I'd put in the right number and I thought well I'll, I won't let anyone answer it, I'll just re-dial. [laugh]
Richard (PS1K9) [1464] Ah cos er I picked it up and said hello and that was it
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1465] Oh I see I must of just been putting it down at that time
Richard (PS1K9) [laugh]
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1466] I thought, oh I wonder if I've got the right number here [laugh] yeah but you're both well then?
Richard (PS1K9) [1467] Yes, we've got er, I think we're, we're just packing at the moment
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1468] Aha
Richard (PS1K9) [1469] er I think we're more or less set really.
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1470] ah that's great
Richard (PS1K9) [1471] How, how are you doing?
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1472] We're, we're sort of just about, you know there's the last minute things to put in, but, barring that, what we've done is to put it in a lot of small bags rather than big cases
Richard (PS1K9) [1473] Yeah
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1474] so it should slide in alright
Richard (PS1K9) [1475] oh yeah, er, well I've got this one big waterproof bag
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1476] Yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1477] which is my old er, my canoe bag
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1478] yes
Richard (PS1K9) [1479] which they're dry bags for putting in canoes to put all, to keep your wet stuff
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1480] aha
Richard (PS1K9) [1481] er to keep everything, everything dry
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1482] yes
Richard (PS1K9) [1483] and er I thought I, I's gonna put our ski stuff, our ski er [...] etcetera in that on the roof
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1484] aha
Richard (PS1K9) [1485] cos they're, they're out the way
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1486] right, right
Richard (PS1K9) [1487] and er
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1488] just see how it goes when you get here then won't we?
Richard (PS1K9) [1489] I think on that, looking at it on a logical basis, er, I think our stuff will take up one third of the boot
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1490] Oh well they're should be no problem at all then
Richard (PS1K9) [1491] er because I think if I, if I put one, my one big bag, which takes up about a third, er, er
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1492] yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1493] and the boot bags on top
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1494] yes
Richard (PS1K9) [1495] I think it'll all fit in one side
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1496] oh that's brilliant, oh we should be alright then
Richard (PS1K9) [1497] I think we should have, I, I've borrowed, I've managed to borrow a set of change as well
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1498] Oh have ya?
[1499] Oh that saves a bit of er worry doesn't it?
Richard (PS1K9) [1500] Yeah, so
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1501] So, have ya, have ya seen the snow conditions then?
Richard (PS1K9) [1502] No, er, I, apparently I saw on the Teletext last night
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1503] Yes
Richard (PS1K9) [1504] it was a hundred and twenty five in the valley and er, two hundred and fifty on top
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1505] that's right, it's, it's pretty good going anyway
Richard (PS1K9) [1506] yeah, I think it was still minus temperatures
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1507] that's super isn't it?
Richard (PS1K9) [1508] so it sounds as though it could be good
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1509] Yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1510] it's not so good down the valley at [...]
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1511] no that's right, I've heard some bad er
Richard (PS1K9) [1512] cos, er, apparently there, there was fifteen centimetres
Jan (PS1KA) [1513] [phonecall starts] On top
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1514] that's right, it's very poor elsewhere
Richard (PS1K9) [1515] on er, [...] yeah
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1516] looks like we may have struck lucky, cross fingered and everything else
Richard (PS1K9) [1517] well I mean it is the most er reliable high resort
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1518] aha
Richard (PS1K9) [1519] er, which just as well we've been there before [laugh]

Jan (PS1KA) [1554] So it'll be time for a cup of tea
Richard (PS1K9) [1555] so it'll be time for a cup of tea
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1556] alright, yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1557] er
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1558] I mean that's no problem
Richard (PS1K9) [1559] I mean I've got er there's Vicky, Vicky and her group from, from Morpeth
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1560] aha
Richard (PS1K9) [1561] er so
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1562] so this is, that's all, that's down in the valley?
Richard (PS1K9) [1563] That's in the valley just er just
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1564] That's right you told us, you said there was some people at
Richard (PS1K9) [1565] yeah and er
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1566] that's no problem
Richard (PS1K9) [1567] there's also my cousin going, er, and er, her husband
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1568] yes er
Richard (PS1K9) [1569] and also a friend of mine who's what, and er, well best man to twenty five, well ...
Jan (PS1KA) [1570] How many years ago?
Richard (PS1K9) [1571] twenty eight years ago now
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1572] Oh one or two [laugh]
Richard (PS1K9) [1573] yeah [laugh]
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [laugh]
Richard (PS1K9) [1574] so
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1575] oh that'll be good
Richard (PS1K9) [1576] there's a there's a whole gang down there
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1577] yes
Richard (PS1K9) [1578] er, so, we'll probably arrange ... for, to meet up with them sometime, somewhere
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1579] yeah, oh yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1580] erm, erm ... but erm apart from that I think everything is er
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1581] I think we're all ship shape, so how lo how far is it on the other side?
[1582] Do you know exactly?
Jan (PS1KA) [1583] Ten hours
Richard (PS1K9) [1584] Well
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1585] ten hours you reckon?
Richard (PS1K9) [1586] well, well Vicky reckoned it was ten hours from Calais
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1587] Yeah and there's probably
Richard (PS1K9) [1588] and I reckon I reckon we're, we're an hour short at Calais because er, we save about eighty kilometres
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1589] Yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1590] by going er Portsmouth [...]
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1591] aha
Richard (PS1K9) [1592] er, and er we also have a very short section on the [...] in Paris
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1593] yes yes
Richard (PS1K9) [1594] which means, which again will save time I reckon
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1595] yeah, yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1596] so, er, and I reckon probably the best, best way is to go, so, motorway as much as we can, down, well down to [...]
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1597] oh yes just, slam down the motorway absolutely
Richard (PS1K9) [1598] then head for Geneva
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1599] aha
Richard (PS1K9) [1600] and er we turn, it's about forty kilometres shorter to go via to Geneva via [...]
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1601] aha
Richard (PS1K9) [1602] and along the side of lake [...] to [...]
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1603] yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1604] is to go through [...]
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1605] aye
Richard (PS1K9) [1606] and er out to [...]
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1607] [...] can be an absolute swine can't it?
Richard (PS1K9) [1608] Yeah that's right
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1609] Traffic wise
Richard (PS1K9) [1610] so, so I reckon, I mean even though it's Sunday I th I think we're better off going through er
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1611] yes
Richard (PS1K9) [1612] going that way
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1613] have you, have you got all the necessary maps then?
Richard (PS1K9) [1614] Yes
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1615] I don't need to worry about things like that
Richard (PS1K9) [1616] no, no
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1617] right
Richard (PS1K9) [1618] I've got the, this year's Michelin er
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1619] oh that's great
Richard (PS1K9) [1620] er, big map
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1621] right, right, I'll just leave that it's
Richard (PS1K9) [1622] ah
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1623] just things I don't have to worry about then really
Richard (PS1K9) [1624] er, the, I mean I don't know what with, well, we'll see how things go when we're there, we're down there, I mean er, er if the snow's not so good towards the end of the week we'll, we just head back don't we?
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1625] Oh yes, yes
Richard (PS1K9) [1626] Er and er
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1627] as simple that
Richard (PS1K9) [1628] I mean
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1629] you can worry about that at the early end of the week
Richard (PS1K9) [1630] yeah [laugh]
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [laugh]
Richard (PS1K9) [1631] I mean the one little thing that might be nice, it might be er, a romantic weekend, er a romantic day in Paris
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1632] Oh yes I'm on er well it's a holiday isn't I mean er
Richard (PS1K9) [1633] a, a stroll down the [...] or something like that on the way back
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1634] yeah that sounds very
Richard (PS1K9) [laugh]
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [...]
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1635] yeah, you and I arm in arm Dick
Richard (PS1K9) [1636] yes [laughing] that's it, yeah [] [laugh]
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [laugh]
Richard (PS1K9) [1637] well I wasn't quite thinking that actually [laugh]
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1638] and er what time do you reckon then, you'll need to pick us up?
[1639] Cos that, that was the main erm
Richard (PS1K9) [1640] I'll, I reckon that er we would leave here just before nine and
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1641] right
Richard (PS1K9) [1642] get to you som somewhere about er half nine, quarter to ten
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1643] aha
Richard (PS1K9) [1644] and aim to get away about ten o'clock
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1645] right
Richard (PS1K9) [1646] er, that way, I mean, I think it's giving us loads, extra time, but er
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1647] yes
Richard (PS1K9) [1648] I don't know what the roadworks are like on the A one
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1649] no I've no idea
Richard (PS1K9) [1650] er, I know that erm, they were bad when we went down at half term
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1651] yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1652] er, and er
Jan (PS1KA) [1653] perhaps best to use the M one
Richard (PS1K9) [1654] and, we can always go and spend some time at er, we'll easy get a meal in Portsmouth anyway
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1655] yes
Richard (PS1K9) [1656] er, we felt the Pizza Hut's quite good in Portsmouth
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1657] aye, I think ya
Richard (PS1K9) [1658] but
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1659] I think ya mentioned that once before and I
Richard (PS1K9) [1660] down s down
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1661] I quite like Pizza Hut
Jan (PS1KA) [1662] but we haven't had, skied on those before
Richard (PS1K9) [1663] down in [...]
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1664] ah, that's the thing to worry about isn't it?
[1665] We can't really be out of er eye shot of the car is it?
Jan (PS1KA) [1666] No
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1667] That's the, the main problem
Richard (PS1K9) [1668] yeah ...
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1669] we'll have to, we'll have to work it in shifts
Richard (PS1K9) [1670] yeah well
Jan (PS1KA) [1671] yeah
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [laugh]
Richard (PS1K9) [laugh]
Jan (PS1KA) [1672] you must, bringing the take away out
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1673] yeah [laugh]
Jan (PS1KA) [1674] we'll have a take away in the car park
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1675] oh we'll sort something out
Richard (PS1K9) [1676] oh yes
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1677] erm, so you reckon you'll get here about ten o'clock?
Richard (PS1K9) [1678] Well about quarter to ten I reckon
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1679] About quarter to ten
Richard (PS1K9) [1680] yeah
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1681] right
Richard (PS1K9) [1682] and, hopefully we can sort of aim to, to be in, in and away in a, quarter of an hour, twenty minutes or
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1683] yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1684] unless it takes half an hour, well half an hour anyway
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1685] cos I mean how many hours driving will there be in this country, about eight?
Richard (PS1K9) [sigh]
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1686] Ee, I mean if everything went alright, it's about eight hours isn't it?
Richard (PS1K9) [1687] I would think if everything went right, it would be something like seven hours
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1688] Yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1689] but er
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1690] the likelihood of that
Richard (PS1K9) [1691] er
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [...]
Richard (PS1K9) [1692] I just don't know what it's gonna be like, er, so I think if we, well at ten o'clock, if we left at ten, we've got twelve hours to get down there
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1693] That's right, cos it'll be an hour, well to get there an hour before anyway won't we for the ferry?
Richard (PS1K9) [1694] I'd of thought so we have to be there, down there at eleven
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1695] yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1696] er which we stop for ... er we probably have a cup of tea a couple of times on the way down
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1697] that's right, yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1698] er, so
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1699] so I think that's about right Dick, I think you're probably right
Richard (PS1K9) [1700] yeah, so I think it's better to be on the safe side than er, than rush it
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1701] well it is, yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1702] I mean once we're on the other side it doesn't really matter
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1703] no
Richard (PS1K9) [1704] er
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1705] it will be, it will be nice to get there sort of before it gets dark wouldn't it on the other side?
Richard (PS1K9) [1706] Yeah
Jan (PS1KA) [1707] Oh yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1708] I mean what I'd like to do to be, to be honest, I don't know if we will do is er be at er, at er Borg by about half four, five o'clock
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1709] yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1710] and up at the resort by half six
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1711] that's right
Richard (PS1K9) [1712] that's what
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1713] that would be nice
Richard (PS1K9) [1714] that's what I'd like
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1715] yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1716] but whether, you, you never know in this world [laugh]
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1717] well that's right, but what, what happens with the er hour in France is it, is it
Richard (PS1K9) [1718] It
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1719] an hour lighter or, or an hour darker?
Richard (PS1K9) [1720] well it goes
Jan (PS1KA) [1721] Goes on an hour
Richard (PS1K9) [1722] it goes, it goes on an hour
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1723] So it's an hour light, more light isn't it?
Richard (PS1K9) [1724] it's an hour more light, but with, but, but probably an hour further south
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1725] Yeah that's right
Richard (PS1K9) [1726] so there so therefore even itself out
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1727] yeah true
Richard (PS1K9) [1728] I think I think it gets dark earlier than it does up here for example
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1729] Aha, aha yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1730] because of the er
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1731] yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1732] er ... it's something even, even though got, because it's about half an hour di is, is it, is it half an hour difference between here and London?
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1733] I can't, I can't, I honestly don't know
Richard (PS1K9) [1734] And I think it's probably at least another half an hour difference down there
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1735] yes
Richard (PS1K9) [1736] er, and with the hour's difference I think it works out about the same
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1737] yeah, that's right, there's nowt worse than being jiggered though is there when you get to your apartment
Richard (PS1K9) [1738] yeah
Jan (PS1KA) [...]
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1739] so with [...] I think that's inevitable though really
Jan (PS1KA) [...]
Richard (PS1K9) [1740] well er, and I thought we'd probably stop at er [...] on the way in, if we wanted to, to go and get any basic provisions at the, the big
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1741] yeah
Richard (PS1K9) [1742] the big hypermarket in the
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1743] yes
Richard (PS1K9) [1744] valley, cos that's cheaper

Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1788] yes

Richard (PS1K9) [1791] Yeah
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1792] just wait, just makes life so much easier doesn't it?
Richard (PS1K9) [1793] yeah
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1794] Visibility and
Richard (PS1K9) [1795] it should be reasonably quiet on a Sunday because most, because ninety nine percent of all er contracts goes Saturday to Saturday
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1796] Yes, yeah, why's er, I think we're doing it, it the right way, certainly, you know
Richard (PS1K9) [1797] yeah

Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1807] yes it was very, very late

Richard (PS1K9) [1809] oh
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1810] yeah yeah we were just, we're just sort of moving a car length at a time weren't we?

Jan (PS1KA) [1819] Yes we're all, I think we're organized.
Unknown speaker (KDRPSUNK) [1820] Okay, erm, we'll, we'll find out when we get there that we're not quite organized [laugh] we've forgotten
