A. (PS50U) [951] Yes
Arthur (PS50T) [952] it's your property, it's your land it's
A. (PS50U) [953] that's correct
Arthur (PS50T) [954] Whereas down at the erm
A. (PS50U) [955] The land belongs to the
Arthur (PS50T) [956] down at the erm seaside it belongs to the Council
A. (PS50U) [957] it belongs to the Council
Arthur (PS50T) [958] Yeah, what a pity
A. (PS50U) [959] yeah ...
Arthur (PS50T) [960] What's it saying in the paper then about it?
[961] Has, it just a report or is it a comment?
A. (PS50U) [962] Oh they've had a meeting you see because people in Southwold have checked
Arthur (PS50T) [963] Yeah.
A. (PS50U) [964] you see, the fact they say they should be allowed to sell
Arthur (PS50T) [965] Yeah.
A. (PS50U) [966] and to who they want to ... if they want to
Arthur (PS50T) [967] I thought, I though Southwold Council was a Conservative Council
A. (PS50U) [968] No we belong to Waveney that's
Arthur (PS50T) [969] Ah is it Waveney Council that's decided it?
A. (PS50U) [970] It's Waveney you see we belong to Waveney ...
Arthur (PS50T) [971] District
A. (PS50U) [972] District
Arthur (PS50T) [973] Ha, yet the Southwold Parish Council, I've seen it in there, er there's been a ... some vandalism on the golf course, you know on the common and er
A. (PS50U) [974] I didn't know about that
Arthur (PS50T) [975] Yeah it's in there somewhere, and they're complaining, you know the people who play golf, the golf club are complaining, and the, the Council are saying it's the Southwold Council, so maybe it's the Parish Council, they're saying that er yes it's our responsibility this club and we must look after it and we must find the culprits and so on, it's in there somewhere cos I read it this morning
A. (PS50U) [976] Yeah I thought I
Arthur (PS50T) [977] cos it happened over the weekend digging up holes in the erm in the golf course.
A. (PS50U) [978] What this last weekend?
Arthur (PS50T) [979] Yes it's er, I'm sure it's in there somewhere ... yeah ... I wonder what will happen then ... with the beach huts ... it could be ... it could be that you've got to get the, you can still sell them private but, and the Council will, will just say yes or no
A. (PS50U) [980] No, it just said them you will offer it to them, no you've to offer it to them first because they've got a waiting list of people wanting
Arthur (PS50T) [981] Right
A. (PS50U) [982] to buy, to be, it's, you see it's the
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
A. (PS50U) [983] or something
Arthur (PS50T) [984] You see, with all their beach huts all the way along the coast, is that, or is it Southwold that they're doing it with?
A. (PS50U) [985] No, they must own Southwold, Kessingland, Pakefield and straight into Lowestoft, all that
Arthur (PS50T) [986] That strip
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [987] yeah
A. (PS50U) [988] They own the fo what they call the
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
A. (PS50U) [989] but why, you see er the end of Southwold when East Bramont went into the sea you know
Arthur (PS50T) [990] Yes when the cliffs, when the cliffs collapsed, yeah ...
A. (PS50U) [991] they wouldn't shore that up because there are only about eight houses up there, so it doesn't pay them to [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [992] Although they own that bit
A. (PS50U) [993] Al although they own that bit
Arthur (PS50T) [994] or are responsible for it
A. (PS50U) [995] or are responsible
Arthur (PS50T) [996] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [997] But there again I don't know how much of the er, whose fault that was, whether they should of done, I mean it's, it's the same as Oldbury and Dunwich isn't it, how that just went into the sea, they let it happen
Arthur (PS50T) [998] Mm.
A. (PS50U) [999] they won't, they won't,th they don't intend to let it happen at all there
Arthur (PS50T) [1000] Mm
A. (PS50U) [1001] I knew some
Arthur (PS50T) [1002] but there's, there's a
A. (PS50U) [1003] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1004] a village isn't there really, a small town a village
A. (PS50U) [1005] you see and now at the harbour they've done that ... harbour mouth so that Walberswick will not be affected
Arthur (PS50T) [1006] Mm, mm
A. (PS50U) [1007] oh well then
Arthur (PS50T) [1008] Yeah, but again there is, there are more houses at Walberswick than there were at East Bra is it Bravance or Badance?
A. (PS50U) [1009] Oh yes, East Bramont.
Arthur (PS50T) [1010] Eastern Bramont yeah
A. (PS50U) [1011] Well the reason they wouldn't do it there, the cost is so great in comparison with the number of houses
Arthur (PS50T) [1012] Mm, yeah, yeah they're on about erm, below erm, not Thorpeness, where's the one with the, Orford isn't it, Orford castle
A. (PS50U) [1013] Oh yes
Arthur (PS50T) [1014] there's the farmland below the castle you know going towards erm Felixstowe that way, they say the land down there, the farm, that low-lying farmland is very susceptible to flooding and the coast is being eroded
A. (PS50U) [1015] That's correct
Arthur (PS50T) [1016] oh they are, is it our Poll Tax?
A. (PS50U) [1017] Yes
Arthur (PS50T) [1018] What have you got?
[1019] Go on then
A. (PS50U) [1020] Oh you're not too bad
Arthur (PS50T) [1021] What've you got?
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [1022] yeah
A. (PS50U) [1023] Erm, get meant, get the right one ain't it?
[1024] Er two four seven forty three
Arthur (PS50T) [1025] Two hundred and forty seven a head?
A. (PS50U) [1026] No, two four seven forty three, yes
Arthur (PS50T) [1027] Per head, yeah
A. (PS50U) [1028] that's not bad
Arthur (PS50T) [1029] that's cheaper than our rates
A. (PS50U) [1030] They're cheaper than the rates, yes.
Arthur (PS50T) [1031] I feel sorry for these old folk who are over here though, on the other side of the road, two forty seven for them
A. (PS50U) [1032] Well that's what
Arthur (PS50T) [1033] That's what's wrong with it though, isn't it?
A. (PS50U) [1034] That's what we
Arthur (PS50T) [1035] Mind you there again it's cheaper than it should be because we're paying it on VAT, you know, it, er, they must think we're fools
A. (PS50U) [1036] Two four seven forty seven, you're quite low actually because some
Arthur (PS50T) [1037] Well there's a general election coming up, it's a Tory Council, they're not gonna raise it as, as high as they possibly can are they? ...
A. (PS50U) [1038] I think that fee is excellent, if they'd of kept it at that, I think most people could afford it.
Arthur (PS50T) [1039] But you're paying for it in your tax,you you'd paid a whopping subsidy on it, it's a big con.
A. (PS50U) [1040] Yeah but the first year was, was an awful amount really
Arthur (PS50T) [1041] Well that was, well it should've gone up from that, what did they do with the VAT stuck two and a half percent on it and said there you are we're gonna hold the Poll Tax down, how?
[1042] By making you pay more on your VAT, so we can knock the Poll Tax bills down, you're still paying for the damn stuff, ah, ha
A. (PS50U) [1043] What's happened to your paper
Arthur (PS50T) [1044] why don't this country wake up?
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
A. (PS50U) [1045] about er
Arthur (PS50T) [1046] I don't know what's happened today I think it's, they've run out of
A. (PS50U) [1047] They've run out of ink or something
Arthur (PS50T) [1048] out of ink, yeah
A. (PS50U) [1049] Ron has sent us a copy then
Arthur (PS50T) [1050] Yeah it must of been a few they'd got through
A. (PS50U) [1051] Mm ...
Arthur (PS50T) [1052] It's the biggest con that Poll Tax thing go er the amount going down ... that this lot have pulled on us and everybody's fell for it hook, line and sinker
A. (PS50U) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [1053] ha
A. (PS50U) [1054] the first year was horrible but last year was
Arthur (PS50T) [1055] Look, if, if somebody charges you three hundred pound, and you say that's too much and you complain and they knock it down to two fifty, but they say but we want you to pay fifty pounds on something else, extra, do you think the two fifty's fair, eh?
A. (PS50U) [1056] Not really, but [laugh]
Arthur (PS50T) [1057] No, well that's all they've done ...
A. (PS50U) [1058] all this paper is
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [1059] there's about six erm, six sheets in it ain't there?
[1060] There er, more like ghost printing ...
A. (PS50U) [1061] [laugh] Ha, that's funny, bad news for people paying fifty pound per week rent, you could buy your own home for forty nine pounds per week [laugh]
Arthur (PS50T) [1062] Sounds like Marks and Spencers there
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [1063] forty nine pounds, ninety nine
A. (PS50U) [1064] Woolworths nineteen and eleven [laugh]
Arthur (PS50T) [1065] [laugh] Yeah, we won't charge you a pound for this we'll charge you nineteen and eleven [laugh]
A. (PS50U) [1066] Oh do
Arthur (PS50T) [1067] it's under ten pound, yeah nine pounds ninety nine [laugh]
A. (PS50U) [1068] The funniest, the funniest thing about that was, a friend of ours he always remembered when Woolworths opened in Oldham
Arthur (PS50T) [1069] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1070] and they had a, er, for the opening news you see everything in Woolworths was sold for sixpence
Arthur (PS50T) [1071] But was it Woolworths or Marks who had that little slogan, was it, nothing, not a was it not a penny, nothing more than a penny or not a thruppence
A. (PS50U) [1072] Anyway, they, they put on their window er
Arthur (PS50T) [1073] Yeah go on
A. (PS50U) [1074] for er opening day
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
A. (PS50U) [1075] everything's a sixpence and a, they have this great big display of buckets in one of the windows, sixpence
Arthur (PS50T) [1076] Sixpence a bucket
A. (PS50U) [1077] there was a little hardware shop just round the corner
Arthur (PS50T) [1078] Mm
A. (PS50U) [1079] and his were fivepence ha'penny
Arthur (PS50T) [laugh]
A. (PS50U) [1080] and there was this long queue outside
Arthur (PS50T) [1081] Woolworths for sixpence [laugh]
A. (PS50U) [1082] Woolworths to buy buckets for sixpence
Arthur (PS50T) [1083] and could've gone round the corner for
A. (PS50U) [1084] Bought them for fivepence ha'penny
Arthur (PS50T) [1085] See there's, there's the con again you see, it's the same thing, you can convince people they're do they're doing brilliantly and charge them more [laugh]
A. (PS50U) [1086] But we said we, we couldn't give over laughing about that and they thought it was hilarious because it, it's like C & A's they used to always say, nineteen and eleven or nine and eleven or, it was always the
Arthur (PS50T) [1087] Well Marks and Spencers look at
A. (PS50U) [1088] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1089] Do you ever see a price in Marks and Spencers that doesn't have ninety nine P on the end of it?
A. (PS50U) [1090] Yeah that's right
Arthur (PS50T) [1091] It must cost them more in time in getting that penny out you know
A. (PS50U) [1092] One penny out of the till
Arthur (PS50T) [1093] till yeah, crazy, well look at the erm, the price of sugar the other day you were talking about that, what was it, fifty odd P?
A. (PS50U) [1094] Fifty nine P
Arthur (PS50T) [1095] And in the supermarket it's what about?
A. (PS50U) [1096] Erm sixty eight
Arthur (PS50T) [1097] Sixty eight, yeah, and that's a corner shop
A. (PS50U) [1098] That's a corner shop
Arthur (PS50T) [1099] you go to the big supermarkets
A. (PS50U) [1100] Yes
Arthur (PS50T) [1101] and you think it's gonna be cheaper, it's gotta be cheaper because it's wherever
A. (PS50U) [1102] There's a reason the little corner shops do that you see, that corner shop especially he always has a blackboard outside
Arthur (PS50T) [1103] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1104] and it, it, it's always erm ... some offer off like cauliflowers
Arthur (PS50T) [1105] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1106] and in the summer when they were thirty nine P it's to get people to go in the shop really
Arthur (PS50T) [1107] Well the supermarkets do the same thing don't they?
A. (PS50U) [1108] Oh yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1109] Loss, loss leaders or if they're not loss leaders they're very low aren't they?
[1110] But when you think if you go to your corner shop and you, you don't want a lot it's cheaper to go there than to get in a car
A. (PS50U) [1111] Oh yes I'd rather go to the corner shop
Arthur (PS50T) [1112] spend your money on petrol, pollute the place
A. (PS50U) [1113] Well when, that's what I said to, er Paula people should always go to that village shop because in the long run I know it might cost you more, but the hassle and everything, the only thing is they haven't got the variety
Arthur (PS50T) [1114] That's the, that's their weakness isn't it?
[1115] Yeah, mm
A. (PS50U) [1116] but that's their weakness because they can't take, they can't take the stock
Arthur (PS50T) [1117] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1118] but surely when that corner shop closes the elderly people round here would be in a state
Arthur (PS50T) [1119] They've got the erm, that mobile shop that comes round here
A. (PS50U) [1120] Oh have they?
[1121] I didn't know about that
Arthur (PS50T) [1122] Haven't you seen it?
[1123] The blue one, from Debenham, and you can phone your order through
A. (PS50U) [1124] On er get [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [1125] ready boxed up for you
A. (PS50U) [1126] Oh that's good
Arthur (PS50T) [1127] so you can do that with him, so if you're not too well you know like
A. (PS50U) [1128] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1129] say if it was yourself and father who both weren't well, he would, if you just pick up the phone and say, I'm running short can I have a b b and he, he brings it round, like you know,j j
A. (PS50U) [1130] Same with
Arthur (PS50T) [1131] I can remember my mum when, when I was little, she used to have a book, a shopping book and she used to write in it
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [1132] what she wanted from the shops, it was like erm a thick notebook did you
A. (PS50U) [1133] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1134] ever have anything?
[1135] Did, is that right?
[1136] And prices at the side
A. (PS50U) [1137] And er it
Arthur (PS50T) [1138] and she knew
A. (PS50U) [1139] it was all printed tea, coffee, cocoa
Arthur (PS50T) [1140] Oh no she wouldn't of, no didn't have that, no
A. (PS50U) [1141] they had tea, coffee, you know the essentials
Arthur (PS50T) [1142] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1143] so that, I mean a person that was a little bit muddled always remembered
Arthur (PS50T) [1144] Aye.
A. (PS50U) [1145] but you see people with shopping lists so the
Arthur (PS50T) [1146] She used to hand it in at the counter, this
A. (PS50U) [1147] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1148] book, she wrote a list out what she wanted, she used to hand it, I remember, I'd forgotten all about this, let's just say we were at the Co-Op, she'd hand it in at the counter so the, the groceries counter all, and she'd written it all out, and when it came back it was, was five minutes, it was all together for you, there it was, it was built up on the counter, and each time the amount was written at the side so
A. (PS50U) [1149] Yes
Arthur (PS50T) [1150] that sort of predates this er till slip, this till roll you get
A. (PS50U) [1151] Yeah, but
Arthur (PS50T) [1152] don't it?
[1153] But she, she knew
A. (PS50U) [1154] in normal
Arthur (PS50T) [1155] what she was getting at, she knew exactly what she was shopping for, she went into that shop, there was the list, it was handed in, I bet it took her less time to shop then, than it did later when she went shopping with a vague idea well I mustn't forget this, I mustn't forget that, but then the wandering around sort of oh that looks nice and I fancy that
A. (PS50U) [1156] Yeah but in, in your mother's days mine ... my day as well
Arthur (PS50T) [1157] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1158] when you went shopping you could shop everywhere and a quarter of tea it was that price every shop, there was no competitiveness about it
Arthur (PS50T) [1159] Mm
A. (PS50U) [1160] a pound of butter was that
Arthur (PS50T) [1161] Mm, mm
A. (PS50U) [1162] two pounds of sugar were that everywhere
Arthur (PS50T) [1163] But people still shopped at different shops?
A. (PS50U) [1164] Yes, you did, you, you mainly, I mean in the, in the
Arthur (PS50T) [1165] Well, well why, well why would you choose
A. (PS50U) [1166] Well because
Arthur (PS50T) [1167] to shop at that particular shop rather than
A. (PS50U) [1168] because
Arthur (PS50T) [1169] that one?
A. (PS50U) [1170] the Co-Op used to give the dividend
Arthur (PS50T) [1171] But not everybody shopped at the Co-Op did they?
A. (PS50U) [1172] Most people, there was quite a lot of people did
Arthur (PS50T) [1173] Yeah most people did, yeah, but not everybody
A. (PS50U) [1174] I mean I did, it was, it was great at
Arthur (PS50T) [1175] My mum used to say such thing as like you know bacon's better from
A. (PS50U) [1176] From
Arthur (PS50T) [1177] from such a place rather than such a place
A. (PS50U) [1178] Well you
Arthur (PS50T) [1179] so it was, she knew you know
A. (PS50U) [1180] you always went to a proper butcher then, you didn't go to the supermarket because you had a good butcher that you used to go to
Arthur (PS50T) [1181] You knew him and he knew you
A. (PS50U) [1182] and you knew what he, and he would sell you what he, there was no cons, no trying to pretend that this was best, and this was
Arthur (PS50T) [1183] Mm, yeah
A. (PS50U) [1184] so therefore a butcher was a butcher he was a tradesman in his own right
Arthur (PS50T) [1185] But he was also a family butcher and he served the family didn't he?
A. (PS50U) [1186] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1187] Yeah, er we used to go to certain ones that's right
A. (PS50U) [1188] Yeah, and another thing is I
Arthur (PS50T) [1189] It's amazing how much you forget isn't it this, the supermarkets know, you just go, you pick it up, you stick it in your trolley and move on you pick it up, you stick it
A. (PS50U) [1190] But you don't
Arthur (PS50T) [1191] there's, there's no se there's no erm
A. (PS50U) [1192] There's no service
Arthur (PS50T) [1193] there's no service is there?
[1194] None at all
A. (PS50U) [1195] I mean what used to make me, what made me laugh too, is the same with linens and things
Arthur (PS50T) [1196] Mm
A. (PS50U) [1197] go in the shop and the girls do not know the stock
Arthur (PS50T) [1198] Yeah ...
A. (PS50U) [1199] Yesterday when I went in the shop, we get underwear and things like that
Arthur (PS50T) [1200] Mm
A. (PS50U) [1201] the girl on that department had gone for her lunch
Arthur (PS50T) [1202] Mm
A. (PS50U) [1203] now the girl that was left for er, a, an hour
Arthur (PS50T) [1204] Mm
A. (PS50U) [1205] admitted that she didn't know and it's about that department what's
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [1206] What shop was that?
A. (PS50U) [1207] That was Debenhams
Arthur (PS50T) [1208] Debenhams, well you see, are they really trained for, for those
A. (PS50U) [1209] so therefore
Arthur (PS50T) [1210] little departments within the store those people or just put on
A. (PS50U) [1211] No, no but you might go in at that time wanting help
Arthur (PS50T) [1212] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1213] and there's nobody there that can give
Arthur (PS50T) [1214] that's right
A. (PS50U) [1215] help
Arthur (PS50T) [1216] but that's not just because somebody was away for their dinner, it's, if that person was back from their dinner
A. (PS50U) [1217] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1218] they most likely wouldn't be able to give you the help as well, they're just placed on
A. (PS50U) [1219] I can always remember years ago going into, going
Arthur (PS50T) [1220] these particular department little sh
A. (PS50U) [1221] into Lewis's in Manchester
Arthur (PS50T) [1222] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1223] which ... was one of the good stores and I wanted a bolster case
Arthur (PS50T) [1224] Mm
A. (PS50U) [1225] and there was a girl on and she said what is a bolster case and when I tried to explain to her she looked at me as if I lived in the ark and that was going back twenty years ago.
Arthur (PS50T) [1226] Mm
A. (PS50U) [1227] You don't
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
A. (PS50U) [laugh]
Arthur (PS50T) [1228] But do you ever see bolsters sold now? ...
A. (PS50U) [1229] Possibly not, but they still, in the stall market
Arthur (PS50T) [1230] Peo
A. (PS50U) [1231] they can, you can still buy bolster cases
Arthur (PS50T) [1232] Where at?
A. (PS50U) [1233] That shop, I don't know what the name of that shop is, but I've seen them in the window lately
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
A. (PS50U) [1234] its possible, yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1235] Yeah ... so if they're still selling bolster cases I wonder if they're still selling bolsters somewhere?
A. (PS50U) [1236] Well they most probably do, yeah, we only sell, sell these, stupid pillows like this, curved pillow cases for these
Arthur (PS50T) [1237] Mm
A. (PS50U) [1238] somebody must do them [laugh]
Arthur (PS50T) [1239] Yeah, true, true, true
A. (PS50U) [1240] You don't, you don't get a service from the shop now
Arthur (PS50T) [1241] No
A. (PS50U) [1242] you, you, you just, it's make your mind up, your own mind and you're left to your own devices.
Arthur (PS50T) [1243] When I was er, you know this Saturday morning work and weekend you know this weekend, but not Saturday morning this weekend work and holiday work at a tailors in Runcorn, the manager of that shop, gentleman's outfitters right, the manager of that shop, there's two other men worked in there full time and myself at holidays and weekends or if they were on holiday you'd have to work, you know, the erm to cover one of those and he, the manager was brought up, he's, brought up, his training was in Liverpool, in tailors where they, a man would produce a suit for somebody
A. (PS50U) [1244] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1245] you know you'd produced the shirt but produce er, and there would be lots and lots and lots of these people, these very skilled men
A. (PS50U) [1246] Oh yeah men [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [1247] all working in their own little houses sort of they looked liked houses but in fact they were little workshops
A. (PS50U) [1248] Yeah a lot of the Jewish folk [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [1249] I remember once, yeah it was like that, yeah that's right, not one, but a few times I used to get on the train from Runcorn to Liverpool, I had an address to go to in Liverpool, rough directions how to get there, to pick up a suit or to pick up a fitting, you know you'd get the, the different
A. (PS50U) [1250] Oh yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1251] stages of fitting
A. (PS50U) [1252] Oh you do it's, it's the
Arthur (PS50T) [1253] oh yeah, all that, you know all the [laugh]
A. (PS50U) [1254] And you had to keep going, striving on
Arthur (PS50T) [1255] That's right, that's right
A. (PS50U) [1256] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1257] well the slight adjustment so to get it, get it right, that's what you're paid for ... and he's, that's where he was, that's where he was brought up in the trade, and he could take a piece of cloth in his hands, he had rolls of cloth, and he said that was made such a way, the quality of this cloth is because and that
A. (PS50U) [1258] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1259] socks the same
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [1260] exactly the same with socks, the blend of wool or nylon, er, just pure wool or nylon or whatever whether it's cotton in it, all these things type of shirts and that, the strengths of the cloths feeling it, telling you that'll wash well that'll last
A. (PS50U) [1261] That'll last
Arthur (PS50T) [1262] that is worth that money
A. (PS50U) [1263] Oh yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1264] and that's a bargain, and se you know these reps would come round selling this that and the other and if, you could only see samples after, wouldn't touch it with a barge pole like you know, yeah I'll have that, that's all but that's because he had a good grounding
A. (PS50U) [1265] Oh yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1266] now he passed that on, that had, sort of knowledge on through the people in the shop okay, if you, soon as that link gets broken and you go into a shop something like erm Burtons okay, big retail shop like Burtons, you go in there you'll have a manager in there and assistants and so on, but their background knowledge has nothing to do with tailoring, nothing at all
A. (PS50U) [1267] Aye, er, it is
Arthur (PS50T) [1268] so you can go to them and ask them for advice and they can't give it, because there's not that link back to where you know
A. (PS50U) [1269] Not now there isn't
Arthur (PS50T) [1270] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1271] but, I, when I was in Stockport I went to work at that tailor's shop
Arthur (PS50T) [1272] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1273] and, and
Arthur (PS50T) [1274] oh yes, yeah, I remember that, yeah
A. (PS50U) [1275] and
Arthur (PS50T) [1276] I'd forgotten about that
A. (PS50U) [1277] I mean, and I'd worked in one in Oldham and the difference between the one ... that was a fifty shilling tailors in Oldham and
Arthur (PS50T) [1278] Fifty shilling tailors
A. (PS50U) [1279] Fifty shillings and you could
Arthur (PS50T) [1280] nothing more than fifty shillings
A. (PS50U) [1281] Twenty five shillings for er a cheaper suit
Arthur (PS50T) [1282] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1283] and fifty shillings for
Arthur (PS50T) [1284] A good quality one
A. (PS50U) [1285] good quality
Arthur (PS50T) [1286] and it would be as well.
A. (PS50U) [1287] And those suits were made to measure
Paula (PS50V) [1288] A week's wage
A. (PS50U) [1289] and you had fittings
Arthur (PS50T) [1290] Yeah it's a week's wage now
A. (PS50U) [1291] Yeah
Paula (PS50V) [1292] right and you had
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
A. (PS50U) [1293] and you had fittings ...
Arthur (PS50T) [1294] Mm
A. (PS50U) [1295] and you had, and the man there looked at his stock and he wouldn't, he wouldn't sell you rub well they didn't get rubbish in, because
Arthur (PS50T) [1296] But now you see you've got these big
A. (PS50U) [1297] you
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
A. (PS50U) [1298] but they're all
Arthur (PS50T) [1299] these big retail shops
A. (PS50U) [1300] off the peg now
Arthur (PS50T) [1301] these, you know these national thing, all that they're interested in from that manager of that shop is ... how much did you sell that week
A. (PS50U) [1302] Oh yeah and
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [1303] just pure inset, and just headquarters, that's all they're interested in, not whether he knows his job or not, not whether he could give advice because he has no control over whatever comes into that shop, he doesn't decide we're not having these T-shirts in or, or we're not having these suits in because really they're a load of rubbish, headquarters decides it, all he does is put a nice little display out, usually, and it's shown how to do it by headquarters and so on, these people come round and show them what to do and so on , do all that, in fact he's as much expertise in there as I have or you have, anybody could literally with a bit of training in the company way of doing things
A. (PS50U) [1304] Mm
Arthur (PS50T) [1305] take on that job, you don't have to be erm somebody who has knowledge about cloth, about way, the way things are made, the sewing, alright, how close it's sewn to the edge
A. (PS50U) [1306] Well there's very few people
Arthur (PS50T) [1307] yeah, things like that
A. (PS50U) [1308] that have a made to measure outfit, how often that people have
Arthur (PS50T) [1309] Oh I don't know
A. (PS50U) [1310] it's all off the peg now
Arthur (PS50T) [1311] not all, there's still a fair amount
A. (PS50U) [1312] I don't think there is
Arthur (PS50T) [1313] Oh yeah
A. (PS50U) [1314] I mean all
Arthur (PS50T) [1315] still there, there isn't, there isn't as much as there used to be, but some are fair amount
A. (PS50U) [1316] Yeah, but all they were interested in that shop in
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
A. (PS50U) [1317] was the commission they got
Arthur (PS50T) [1318] That's it
A. (PS50U) [1319] so they, I mean they flogged the cheaper lines and they could have through the door like
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [1320] it, it didn't matter did it?
A. (PS50U) [1321] No
Arthur (PS50T) [1322] No, that's what I'm saying
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [1323] and
A. (PS50U) [1324] I mean they wanted the commission
Arthur (PS50T) [1325] if you'd of gone to them for advice and say which is the better buy, which will was wash better and why, you know, I want I want
A. (PS50U) [1326] Oh yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1327] this particular thing, they'd be, they'd be flummoxed
A. (PS50U) [1328] Well they'd sell you the most expensive because they'd got the most commission [laugh]
Arthur (PS50T) [1329] Yeah and convince you, if you pay more for it, it must be better, and it, that isn't always true either, usually is but not always
A. (PS50U) [1330] What used to annoy me about that shop was that, that the fact that you know people used to ... buy the things on the never- never
Arthur (PS50T) [1331] Mm ...
A. (PS50U) [1332] and er ... they used to come to me and say how much does this man owe now and if he'd been paying quite a bit next time he came in the shop they was all round him trying to persuade him to buy
Arthur (PS50T) [1333] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1334] a mac
Arthur (PS50T) [1335] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1336] trying to persuade him to buy ...
Arthur (PS50T) [1337] So they were waiting
A. (PS50U) [1338] cos look your account is
Arthur (PS50T) [1339] Getting low
A. (PS50U) [1340] getting very low, you're a good payer and er I'm sure you need a pair of trousers you need this you need that
Arthur (PS50T) [1341] [laugh] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1342] and some of them a bit it's all sales talk
Arthur (PS50T) [1343] he walked out the door, he's forgotten
A. (PS50U) [1344] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1345] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1346] all they wanted was to get their commission.
Arthur (PS50T) [1347] Yeah, do you think it still happens?
A. (PS50U) [1348] Oh yes
Arthur (PS50T) [1349] It happened with us, when we borrowed money to pay for this car, finished it off now, the bank, oh the letters they send you, about three months before you're about to finish paying, I am an esteemed and valued customer you know and all that crap
A. (PS50U) [1350] Blah, blah, blah
Arthur (PS50T) [1351] oh God did he
A. (PS50U) [1352] I tell you what
Arthur (PS50T) [1353] They don't esteem you, you're not valued
A. (PS50U) [1354] I tell you what annoys me
Arthur (PS50T) [1355] you're, you're just a number on a damn computer but they crack on
A. (PS50U) [1356] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1357] as if you were something, somebody very special and again it's a big con and it, they must think people fall for this
A. (PS50U) [1358] That's why I think people got in debt because they'd been having things that they couldn't afford, I mean er, at one time you was never encouraged to ha er have things, now I mean the minute they see you're getting low on your, oh have something else, have something else
Arthur (PS50T) [1359] Yeah, yeah, yeah
A. (PS50U) [1360] and then they forget they have to pay for it
Arthur (PS50T) [1361] I give you a good example of that, erm, well not how easy it is, not on that, but how easy it is to get money without having the money, okay, Tony wants that, the computer
A. (PS50U) [1362] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1363] and we wanted to get it through Access, and the credit limit on Access was ... what was it a thousand?
[1364] Something like that, trying to remember now what it was, sixteen hundred, sixteen hundred that was it and it says your credit limit is sixteen, sixteen, you could spend up to sixteen hundred pounds, whether you got it or not you can spend it, so we said if we're gonna get this computer because you get these Air Miles out of it, you know, every ten pounds you get an Air Mile, well if he's getting a computer over a thousand pounds you know with all the paraphernalia that goes with it, well that's a lot of Air Miles there, well we said we'll get it through Access, but there isn't, our credit limit on Access isn't enough to pay for the computer, sixteen hundred it's more than sixteen hundred, in, in the long, once he's got his printer and God knows what you know, so I phoned them up and he said erm is it possible to adjust the limit upwards?
[1365] Oh yes ... we said well what's the limit?
[1366] Well they said what do you want it to be [laugh] oh God, I can't, there you are it's as, it's as easy as that, it's as easy as that
A. (PS50U) [1367] And then they want you, I tell you what there's another thing on television that makes me really laugh is that advert about electricity and it says
Arthur (PS50T) [1368] About electricity?
A. (PS50U) [1369] Electricity yes
Arthur (PS50T) [1370] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1371] and it's, keep your house warm and it's this, you know er she comes in, in the middle of the night, she gets up in the middle of the night and the house is lovely and warm, she gets up first thing in the morning and the house is lovely and warm
Arthur (PS50T) [1372] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1373] with erm storage heaters, yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1374] storage heaters, yeah, yeah
A. (PS50U) [1375] right
Arthur (PS50T) [1376] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1377] she goes on about all this but they don't say how much it's gonna cost, never mind the storage heaters [laugh]
Arthur (PS50T) [1378] That's got nothing to do with it
A. (PS50U) [1379] that's got nothing to do with it, but you can be lovely and warm
Arthur (PS50T) [1380] and warm
A. (PS50U) [1381] twenty four hours of the day, until you get your bill and then you're lovely and warm [laugh]
Arthur (PS50T) [1382] and warm [laugh]
Paul (PS50X) [1383] Where's that table dad?
Arthur (PS50T) [1384] I don't know Paul.
[1385] You can burn it [laugh]
A. (PS50U) [laugh]
Paul (PS50X) [1386] Where's that table that Tony had for his, that erm old camping table?
Arthur (PS50T) [1387] I don't know Paul, it's erm, ask Tony he's the one who'd of put it away, have you asked him?
Paul (PS50X) [1388] No
A. (PS50U) [1389] But really it's a waste of time you know
Arthur (PS50T) [1390] Close the door please
A. (PS50U) [1391] when people are sitting there and thinking oh yes I'll have a storage heater, you keep lovely [laughing] and warm [] you get your bill at the end, a few hundred pound er [laugh]
Arthur (PS50T) [1392] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1393] oh it's, it's just all con isn't it?
Arthur (PS50T) [1394] Yeah they, they're telling you one part of the story
A. (PS50U) [1395] Oh
Arthur (PS50T) [1396] and they forget to tell you that once upon a time doesn't always have a nice ending, yeah
A. (PS50U) [1397] I think though er, they're encouraging people to be constantly in debt because there are some people, indeed a lot of these people have bought their home like
Arthur (PS50T) [1398] Mm
A. (PS50U) [1399] Maggie Thatcher had told them to do, they haven't realized that owning your home like you know you buy it off the Council or things like that, it ends there, they're forgetting the maintenance part of it you know
Arthur (PS50T) [1400] Yeah, but they're also forgetting as well it isn't just the maintenance that it's a long term commitment to paying
A. (PS50U) [1401] Yes
Arthur (PS50T) [1402] back money
A. (PS50U) [1403] but
Arthur (PS50T) [1404] twenty, fifteen, whatever years, whatever years, and in that time you've got to be pretty sure that you can do that
A. (PS50U) [1405] Oh yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1406] that your job is secure, yeah that you
A. (PS50U) [1407] Well nobody's job is secure now
Arthur (PS50T) [1408] Nobody's job is secure, but some jobs are more secure, have always been more secure than others and if you've been, as some of them have been relying on overtime
A. (PS50U) [1409] Oh yes
Arthur (PS50T) [1410] and the building societies
A. (PS50U) [1411] and the second job
Arthur (PS50T) [1412] this, will, oh the second job
A. (PS50U) [1413] Oh aye and the building societies
Arthur (PS50T) [1414] and the building societies at one time would not take overtime into account, but in the eighties oh my God, you know, how much, oh have as much as you want
A. (PS50U) [1415] Yeah, that's right
Arthur (PS50T) [1416] but they took all that, they took overtime into account, now as you can't guarantee overtime, you can't actually guarantee your basic wage
A. (PS50U) [1417] Oh no you can't
Arthur (PS50T) [1418] but of the two you can't, you can't have a ba you can't have no basic wage and only overtime
A. (PS50U) [1419] Oh no
Arthur (PS50T) [1420] yeah, one will always be there if you've got, if, if you've got a job, the other one is very iffy and yet they were lending money to people who right, right, rightly in their minds have, and as Maggie T said oh yes go on, go, yeah, independence and all that, erm they were going out, never having done it before, no tradition in, in maybe in their family of doing it before, got this goal this sort of Disney World ideal you know erm, sort of make believe world who are we gonna be and we're gonna be dreaming the dream, the dream
A. (PS50U) [1421] Like the electricity isn't it?
Arthur (PS50T) [1422] Yeah, like the electricity, but your chickens come home to roost when your overtime goes, when your job goes and you take on a commitment and they never, the last ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty five years and they've never ever, ever taken on a commitment like that before, when it's presented with just the roses around it, everything's sweetness and light and roses and the other side isn't really put, put to you, think of the worse scenario, you're out of a job, what can you do?
[1423] Can you keep it going?
[1424] In that case could you keep it going for a while if you're out of a job?
[1425] What limit of borrowing should you be borrowing to?
[1426] I know accountants say borrow to your top limit because of tax purposes, but they're talking about people who've
A. (PS50U) [1427] Well people that have got it
Arthur (PS50T) [1428] so much money you know, they've, they've got to erm
A. (PS50U) [1429] That's right, yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1430] they've got to spend
A. (PS50U) [1431] but I, I disagree with them ... lending money to the extent, the old way was better when it was two and a half times the salary, your salary
Arthur (PS50T) [1432] Do you know how much it was when we got our first house, just before we were married, it wasn't two and a half times your salary, it was one and a half times our salary
A. (PS50U) [1433] Yeah, but it was one salary
Arthur (PS50T) [1434] and one salary
A. (PS50U) [1435] and then people never got themselves into debt, it was only erm unless you were unemployed
Arthur (PS50T) [1436] That was, that was the realism of life wasn't it?
A. (PS50U) [1437] Yeah, is was the ideal thing
Arthur (PS50T) [1438] That your marriage, one your marriage could break up
A. (PS50U) [1439] Oh yes
Arthur (PS50T) [1440] two, even though you're both working you can't guarantee that both will continue to work, it's taking it to a real, a realistic level
A. (PS50U) [1441] But I mean I feel sorry for young mums now because there's no way if they take on these mortgages they can have a family
Arthur (PS50T) [1442] Right, yeah
A. (PS50U) [1443] now that is wrong because nobody should be committed so much to the hilt that they can't have a family
Arthur (PS50T) [1444] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1445] and choose a life, it's all going in bricks and mortar and the not
Arthur (PS50T) [1446] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1447] the building societies
Arthur (PS50T) [1448] but this is, this is the way of, values of of
A. (PS50U) [1449] Yes
Arthur (PS50T) [1450] the place of the moment, at the moment isn't it?
A. (PS50U) [1451] Yes
Arthur (PS50T) [1452] That bricks, mortar, tellies, carpets and God knows what
A. (PS50U) [1453] That's it, more than, yes
Arthur (PS50T) [1454] rat matter more than people
A. (PS50U) [1455] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1456] it seems to be
A. (PS50U) [1457] but you see the, the sad thing of this is, if you've got a, a little family and then you can't, because the man has lost his job, you're turned out of your house even if you've paid five or six years on it
Arthur (PS50T) [1458] Mm
A. (PS50U) [1459] and then they can turn round and offer you bed and breakfast
Arthur (PS50T) [1460] Mm
A. (PS50U) [1461] at two hundred pounds a week
Arthur (PS50T) [1462] Mm
A. (PS50U) [1463] now that is wrong, why they can't help that family to extend the mortgage until
Arthur (PS50T) [1464] It would cost them less than two hundred pounds a week
A. (PS50U) [1465] It would cost them less
Arthur (PS50T) [1466] that's right this is the meanest of it
A. (PS50U) [1467] And there's no [...]
A. (PS50U) [1468] Oh yes
Arthur (PS50T) [1469] this is the meanest, you get into the system of the, of the legality of it, the, the er,thes these people who lend money where we want our money back
A. (PS50U) [1470] Yes
Arthur (PS50T) [1471] we want it there, we want this guarantee, it's, it's a bit s [sigh] it's sort of well
A. (PS50U) [1472] Well you see
Arthur (PS50T) [1473] it's a bit Shylockish, we want our pound of flesh at the end of this day, now that, the fact that the cost of that pound of flesh will cost you more than this two hundred pound a week
A. (PS50U) [1474] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1475] cost you far more getting it like that than saying we'll support you
A. (PS50U) [1476] Exactly, but you see the point is this
Arthur (PS50T) [1477] it's, it really is a bit Shylockish
A. (PS50U) [1478] I think it's wrong because they, they're putting these houses now on the market, the building societies
Arthur (PS50T) [1479] Mm
A. (PS50U) [1480] and they're putting them into auction and the people that have got spare money
Arthur (PS50T) [1481] Mm, mm
A. (PS50U) [1482] are snapping them up
Arthur (PS50T) [1483] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1484] and yet
Arthur (PS50T) [1485] Hold on, it's not people who've got spare money, it's people who
A. (PS50U) [1486] Who want to invest money
Arthur (PS50T) [1487] who've got plenty of cash, always will have as well and this is, this is the unfortunate part, this, this is the sinister part of it really, because the people who've scratted around and have suffered
A. (PS50U) [1488] Yes
Arthur (PS50T) [1489] borrowed up to the hilt, they, they, their er, I, what should I say, their erm ... unfortunate circumstances
A. (PS50U) [1490] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1491] are benefitting people who don't have to, never had to scrat around ...
A. (PS50U) [1492] It's still wrong
Arthur (PS50T) [1493] they actually they had, the poor
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [1494] if you look at it one way are subsidising the very rich
A. (PS50U) [1495] Oh yes
Arthur (PS50T) [1496] the very, the ones who've got so much money they could and they're buying up things as a result of somebody's misery at a way lower price than it should be bought for
A. (PS50U) [1497] Oh I know it's horrible
Arthur (PS50T) [1498] and they're doing it again and again and again, it suits them, it suits the ones that are really rich to have ordinary people struggling like that and it suits them not to have that two hundred pounds a week going in to help those people and they're the people who it suits who will decide whether that two hundred pounds a week goes to help on the mortgage or put them into what is it, a bed and, a bed and breakfast?
A. (PS50U) [1499] Mm, don't know what they call them
Arthur (PS50T) [1500] So if it, if it look at it like that, these people are benefitting ho again and again, time and again and again out of some, out of somebody's
A. (PS50U) [1501] Yeah, but you see
Arthur (PS50T) [1502] misfortune, and yet, and yet the cost of putting them into a bed and breakfast would stop those people's houses going on the market and it would stop those people who are benefitting from it, from benefitting from it
A. (PS50U) [1503] Yeah but you see, the, in this, in this
Arthur (PS50T) [1504] They're parasites aren't they?
A. (PS50U) [1505] in a vicious circle too it's working that the tax payers are having to subsidize bed and breakfast
Arthur (PS50T) [1506] Yeah so
A. (PS50U) [1507] so
Arthur (PS50T) [1508] the rest of us
A. (PS50U) [1509] they, they might as well
Arthur (PS50T) [1510] are subsidizing the rich to buy houses that are becoming cheaper onto the market
A. (PS50U) [1511] In, yeah, in a vicious circle, yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1512] so we're all helping the rich to become richer
A. (PS50U) [1513] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1514] because these poor sods can't pay off the mortgage
A. (PS50U) [1515] and er, er, er, and the poor are getting poorer and they will not let them get out of the poverty trap.
Arthur (PS50T) [1516] It suits them
A. (PS50U) [1517] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1518] not to let them get out of the pov that's what I'm saying, it suits them because they can buy up property much cheaper than if that two hundred pounds a week that's being spent on bed and breakfast, that, they were spent on helping them with the problems as they are at the moment.
A. (PS50U) [1519] Yeah, they should, I mean it is a problem
Arthur (PS50T) [1520] It's crazy, it's crazy, if only people again'd sit back and look at it and see exactly what's happening, rather than saying it serves them right, they shouldn't of done this, they shouldn't of got themselves into that position they're in that position
A. (PS50U) [1521] They can't help it sometimes
Arthur (PS50T) [1522] they're in that position, it's gonna cost us to get out, cost us to get them out of it and they can go out into a bed and breakfast or they can stay in the house ...
A. (PS50U) [1523] They're better staying in the house aren't they?
Arthur (PS50T) [1524] That's right
A. (PS50U) [1525] You're better letting them
Arthur (PS50T) [1526] but to start with they shouldn't of borrowed to the limit they were borrowing
A. (PS50U) [1527] Well there's the building societies fault
Arthur (PS50T) [1528] That's building societies, yeah
A. (PS50U) [1529] if they go, if they're wanting to let people have as much money
Arthur (PS50T) [1530] Mm
A. (PS50U) [1531] and know full well that it's very difficult for them to pay
Arthur (PS50T) [1532] Mm
A. (PS50U) [1533] they should of, go back to the old system that they took the man's wage in, only into consideration
Arthur (PS50T) [1534] Or, one of them, or one of them
A. (PS50U) [1535] Or one of them, well yes
Arthur (PS50T) [1536] or one and a quarter or one and a half or whatever
A. (PS50U) [1537] Yes, it used to be two and a half times the wage and in the long run rather than mess about taking the house off them
Arthur (PS50T) [1538] Mm
A. (PS50U) [1539] if they're only young extend the mortgage
Arthur (PS50T) [1540] Mm
A. (PS50U) [1541] they'll still get their money in the end
Arthur (PS50T) [1542] That's right
A. (PS50U) [1543] and they'll get more money
Arthur (PS50T) [1544] These people who are buying up houses now so cheaply from these, you know from these repossessions
A. (PS50U) [1545] Oh it's terrible
Arthur (PS50T) [1546] they must rub their hands together you know when these booms are going, you know, oh as much money as you want
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [1547] because they must know what's gonna happen when they, you know, when the cows come home, they must know when the chickens come home to roost they must know what's gonna happen
A. (PS50U) [1548] What they're going to
Arthur (PS50T) [1549] that there are gonna be so many thousands of people in a right mess and they're
A. (PS50U) [1550] Well
Arthur (PS50T) [1551] gonna pick up cheap pickings, they're gonna go round like the vultures, just taking it and taking it
A. (PS50U) [1552] In one way they should do something about people having second homes and make it more, that they get more tax out of them or something ...
Arthur (PS50T) [1553] Right
A. (PS50U) [1554] unless they're going to let, unless people are going to buy them and let them at a reasonable rent to people
Arthur (PS50T) [1555] What's reasonable?
[1556] Ha
A. (PS50U) [1557] Yeah, but I mean
Arthur (PS50T) [1558] reasonable to whom?
A. (PS50U) [1559] in a few years ... this er, they're not building houses so these houses are gonna go, rocket again
Arthur (PS50T) [1560] When the Council houses were sold, a lot of money went into the, went into the Council
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [1561] yeah
A. (PS50U) [1562] Yeah, well they're not allowed to spend it
Arthur (PS50T) [1563] and they're not allowed to spend it, that's the craziest thing of all but housing associations can build houses, but Councils can't
A. (PS50U) [1564] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1565] or they can but a tiny amount, it's this sort of ... dogma, this blind faith, has put commonsense right out of the window completely out the window
A. (PS50U) [1566] I don't understand these
Arthur (PS50T) [1567] it's
A. (PS50U) [1568] how these housing associations though
Arthur (PS50T) [1569] How they work?
A. (PS50U) [1570] Well no, how they can afford to let the houses when the Council can't.
Arthur (PS50T) [1571] Well the government subsidizes them a lot ... for, for a start and it's, again it's the government, the philosophy of the gover of a government either subsidize something or it doesn't, doesn't it, and it subsidizes what it
A. (PS50U) [1572] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1573] wants to be a success, it did, it takes the subsidy away from
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [1574] something that it, either it is successful in itself and it no, no longer needs to be subsidized or something that they want to see go to the wall, if they want to see something going to the wall, it
A. (PS50U) [1575] Yeah, but it belongs to the association
Arthur (PS50T) [1576] I don't know exactly the
A. (PS50U) [1577] Oh
Arthur (PS50T) [1578] the ins and outs of them, but there's a lot of government input into it, there's a lot of government help in there, a lot
A. (PS50U) [1579] Oh
Arthur (PS50T) [1580] and it's, it's the philosophy that people will stand on their own two feet and own
A. (PS50U) [1581] But why
Arthur (PS50T) [1582] and own their own houses
A. (PS50U) [1583] you see
Arthur (PS50T) [1584] which is a good philosophy
A. (PS50U) [1585] in some ways to though, I mean I can understand ... I think people, some people
Paula (PS50V) [1586] Arthur can you just turn the bacon on the chicken and the potatoes?
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]

Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
A. (PS50U) [1863] it loses all the
Arthur (PS50T) [1864] It's good when you put them in, if you put them in a tumble dryer
A. (PS50U) [1865] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1866] that helps them, but if you put them on radiators and God knows what round the house trying to keep them, get them dry

A. (PS50U) [1936] Yeah the beech one
Arthur (PS50T) [1937] the beech
A. (PS50U) [1938] Yeah

Arthur (PS50T) [1941] Yeah, oh yeah, that's gonna look good that when we, when we get it to something like
A. (PS50U) [1942] How
Arthur (PS50T) [1943] when it fills out
A. (PS50U) [1944] how long did, has, has that one been in the Pyracantha?
Arthur (PS50T) [1945] Pyracantha, about four years now
A. (PS50U) [1946] And can you keep them that height if
Arthur (PS50T) [1947] Yeah, well we will do once we'll get them to the height we want we'll start trimming them and they'll bush out a bit more, that's not bad they're about four, four or five foot now aren't they?
A. (PS50U) [1948] Is that man, that man you
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
A. (PS50U) [1949] I don't know whether to have a brick wall or whether to
Arthur (PS50T) [1950] Well you've got your hedge trimmer haven't you?
A. (PS50U) [1951] Yes but I cannot get
Arthur (PS50T) [1952] So you've got the tool to keep it
A. (PS50U) [1953] but I can't
Arthur (PS50T) [1954] to keep it under control
A. (PS50U) [1955] I'll never be able to do it myself
Arthur (PS50T) [1956] No, but you've got the tool I'm saying to keep it under control
A. (PS50U) [1957] Yeah, but I couldn't use it so, so
Arthur (PS50T) [1958] No
A. (PS50U) [1959] so I didn't know whether to have a brick edge er a brick wall
Arthur (PS50T) [1960] See these, this type of thing, this er Pyracantha, the reason why you've go that, it's evergreen
A. (PS50U) [1961] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1962] its thorns, it's got thorns in it so it stops
A. (PS50U) [1963] Which is good it stops animals
Arthur (PS50T) [1964] any well anybody can
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [1965] deters, deters them
A. (PS50U) [1966] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1967] you've got some, you've got flowers on it,wh those white flowers and then you get those lovely red berries
A. (PS50U) [1968] You got them lovely red berries
Arthur (PS50T) [1969] so you've got a mix of everything in it
A. (PS50U) [1970] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1971] it's an ideal thing
A. (PS50U) [1972] Where'd you buy those from?
Arthur (PS50T) [1973] Erm, a nursery up, going towards Norwich on the A one forty
A. (PS50U) [1974] Oh yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1975] and he just got them in, real, there's a
A. (PS50U) [1976] I tell, I tell
Arthur (PS50T) [1977] there's a better one now, you know, er where we found out, you know where we got the Laurels from at the other side?
A. (PS50U) [1978] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1979] Well they are erm, we got those from a place the other side of Ipswich on the Shotley peninsula, I think it says Paul Doubleday in, name of the nursery and that's a genuine nursery, not some of these pretending to be a nursery in a garden centre, he se he grows stuff to sell to Councils and you know big organizations
A. (PS50U) [1980] Yeah, they're good plants and everything
Arthur (PS50T) [1981] Cracking plants really good ones, and alright, they're not, they're not the cheapest in the world, but you get quality plants
A. (PS50U) [1982] But you get quality, oh yes you get what you pay for
Arthur (PS50T) [1983] I suppose if you're buying by the thousands the price'd come down a lot, but when we were only buying about, you know, forty odd plants
A. (PS50U) [1984] I tell you what I, the hedging I liked too, is if you can have a hedging that comes, you know, some of the garden centres sell them that you got something every month of the year
Arthur (PS50T) [1985] Oh yeah, well you could plant it yourself couldn't you?
A. (PS50U) [1986] Yeah, oh yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [1987] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1988] Ah, that means trying to
Arthur (PS50T) [1989] but it, that, that's okay providing in the winter, you haven't got some of it that's evergreen and some of it that you, you know, then you've got to hedge it's
A. (PS50U) [1990] Oh yes you've got to cut it
Arthur (PS50T) [1991] and mish-mash in the winter
A. (PS50U) [1992] you see, er, er Mary was a bit silly because she's had a lot of air plant, they just pulled them off and threw them out, now I wouldn't of done, done that because I would of kept some of those
Arthur (PS50T) [1993] Mm
A. (PS50U) [1994] because she does it, she didn't know what was in the garden, cos she hadn't been there long enough, now I think that's silly because I think you're better waiting a couple of years, seeing what comes up
Arthur (PS50T) [1995] What it does
A. (PS50U) [1996] and then decide
Arthur (PS50T) [1997] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [1998] because you're spending a lot of money
Arthur (PS50T) [1999] When did she move in?
A. (PS50U) [2000] Oh, well she bought the house same time as we bought the house you see
Arthur (PS50T) [2001] Yeah but when did she move in though?
A. (PS50U) [2002] She didn't ah, she didn't move in till after us,Aug in the August sort of thing, the summer that we moved in, a couple of years ago
Arthur (PS50T) [2003] Mm, mm
A. (PS50U) [2004] you see she didn't give it till the spring to see what came up, I mean she had it all paved which was silly because they, there were a load of rose bushes and that
Arthur (PS50T) [2005] Mm, mm
A. (PS50U) [2006] which she, I mean you, you're throwing away a lot of plants that you might decide to keep
Arthur (PS50T) [2007] True ... very true
A. (PS50U) [2008] But I do like that hedging I think it's beautiful when the red berries are on it
Arthur (PS50T) [2009] Mm
A. (PS50U) [2010] but er
Arthur (PS50T) [2011] Well it's not, it's not a bad hedge ... and it's now starting to get you know
A. (PS50U) [2012] you see, I'm
Arthur (PS50T) [2013] a, a good growth on it
A. (PS50U) [2014] I'm static the only trouble is with our front is that because we're getting old we can't manage, we're not going to plan each garden, so it might be easier to have a, a big lawn and then
Arthur (PS50T) [2015] Concrete the lot
A. (PS50U) [2016] Ha
Arthur (PS50T) [2017] paint it green [laugh]
A. (PS50U) [2018] No, no but it, it, you've got, I mean that hedge

A. (PS50U) [2027] with the
Arthur (PS50T) [2028] grubbing out

Arthur (PS50T) [2272] A hundred and twenty four thousand, nine hundred and twenty eight bytes free
Anthony (PS50W) [2273] Free on that disk, there's considerably more on the hard disk, ha
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [2274] It'll probably fill
Arthur (PS50T) [2275] Yeah
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [2276] a hole
Arthur (PS50T) [2277] What frequency does it save it at?
Anthony (PS50W) [2278] You can change that escape
Arthur (PS50T) [2279] If you want
Anthony (PS50W) [2280] options, auto save, enter auto save into the
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Anthony (PS50W) [2281] minutes, zero for none
Arthur (PS50T) [2282] Why don't you do it one, every minute?
Anthony (PS50W) [2283] Erm it's just
Arthur (PS50T) [2284] What happens if you
Anthony (PS50W) [2285] because if, if you're editing it
Arthur (PS50T) [2286] Yes, yeah
Anthony (PS50W) [2287] and you don't, you don't and you make a mistake
Arthur (PS50T) [2288] Yeah
Anthony (PS50W) [2289] you don't want it to save it
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [2290] You can undo that
Arthur (PS50T) [2291] So, so when it's auto save it's, then you edit it does it auto, will auto save again, does it take out the things already in that you've altered, that you've edited?
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [2292] Yeah
Anthony (PS50W) [2293] It's just like a normal save it overrides
Arthur (PS50T) [2294] Yeah it overwrites everything
Anthony (PS50W) [2295] Yeah
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [2296] Yeah, you can
Anthony (PS50W) [2297] You can tell it to

Arthur (PS50T) [2303] Oh I see what you mean it doesn't, it doesn't do it without you, not telling you
Anthony (PS50W) [2304] You can, you can get it so it doesn't interrupt

Anthony (PS50W) [2306] Well you can
Arthur (PS50T) [2307] Without interrupting your flow
Anthony (PS50W) [2308] you can but if you're, if you make a mistake

Arthur (PS50T) [4412] For reading yeah, I could do now I think for distance
A. (PS50U) [4413] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [4414] if I look at things like that, it's all, er ...
A. (PS50U) [4415] yes because you, when Paula, when did Paula stop wearing glasses?
Arthur (PS50T) [4416] I'd never seen Paula in, in glasses, ever, other than in photographs
A. (PS50U) [4417] Oh
Arthur (PS50T) [4418] not a liable
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
A. (PS50U) [4419] I don't think she had
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [4420] no it's just for close work

A. (PS50U) [4427] Yeah she had
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
A. (PS50U) [4428] she had little tiny, little gold ones
Arthur (PS50T) [4429] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [4430] that were tied on with a ribbon
Arthur (PS50T) [4431] Ah
A. (PS50U) [4432] and she was [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [4433] Have you got a photograph of that in the pram with glasses on?
A. (PS50U) [4434] and, no she had
Arthur (PS50T) [4435] Could, we could have that blown up
A. (PS50U) [4436] she had them a few month's old didn't she?
John (PS510) [4437] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [4438] and we could send it anonymously to
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [4439] primary school [laugh]
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
A. (PS50U) [4440] but no, she had them er then and he spent a lot of time did Paula with her glasses you needn't worry
Arthur (PS50T) [4441] Did she have operations to
A. (PS50U) [4442] Oh yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [4443] or just a squint
A. (PS50U) [4444] she had the two, the first one wasn't put right, you know they had to get the exact one
Arthur (PS50T) [4445] Mm, mm
John (PS510) [4446] They get weaker and weaker before they'll do it, weaken the
A. (PS50U) [4447] What they do is
Arthur (PS50T) [4448] So it will
John (PS510) [4449] So it will, if one wasn't
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [4450] was pulling to yes
A. (PS50U) [4451] Yeah, yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [4452] So they weakened the strong one
John (PS510) [4453] And the only, the only way you can do that, you can't string the muscle up
Arthur (PS50T) [4454] So they weakened the strong one
John (PS510) [4455] They have to
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
John (PS510) [4456] the root and the stronger one
Arthur (PS50T) [4457] Yeah
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [4458] what they hand them down here do they?
[4459] So they a bit Monty Pythonish swing
A. (PS50U) [4460] But she, she had to have two because the, the first one they did it wasn't, it wasn't exactly what they wanted
Arthur (PS50T) [4461] Mm
A. (PS50U) [4462] so she had to go back in and have it done again
Arthur (PS50T) [4463] God
A. (PS50U) [4464] so, she was very good wasn't she?
[4465] Because you see then erm ... until they take the bandages off
Arthur (PS50T) [4466] Mm
A. (PS50U) [4467] they don't know
Arthur (PS50T) [4468] If it's worked or not, if it's been a success or not
A. (PS50U) [4469] and it's an ordeal for a young child
Arthur (PS50T) [4470] Mm
A. (PS50U) [4471] What we did with, we bought her a little guitar so that she can play it and have a bit of music and something to do
Arthur (PS50T) [4472] Yeah, yeah
A. (PS50U) [4473] and she had, we bought her this little
Arthur (PS50T) [4474] Ukelele type of thing
A. (PS50U) [4475] and the second time she had it done it was very unfortunate because I
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
A. (PS50U) [4476] was on you know that big
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [4477] no, I don't, but there's been that many
A. (PS50U) [4478] they were all down with it
Arthur (PS50T) [4479] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [4480] and they wouldn't let her out of hospital but they closed the ward and they wouldn't let any
John (PS510) [4481] Only those that were in could stop in
A. (PS50U) [4482] And only them
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
A. (PS50U) [4483] but nobody could visit
Arthur (PS50T) [4484] So sort of isolation it was
A. (PS50U) [4485] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [4486] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [4487] and it
Arthur (PS50T) [4488] So how long was she in for then?
John (PS510) [4489] Be about a week
A. (PS50U) [4490] A week extra but
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
A. (PS50U) [4491] used to come up
Arthur (PS50T) [4492] Poor up
A. (PS50U) [4493] She took, she took them a walk to see the flowers in the garden and
Arthur (PS50T) [4494] In the hospital, yeah
A. (PS50U) [4495] they dressed up as nurses and help the nurses
Arthur (PS50T) [4496] Oh that'll be good won't it?
A. (PS50U) [4497] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [4498] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [4499] Oh yeah the nurses were kind to them
Arthur (PS50T) [4500] Were good to them
A. (PS50U) [4501] yeah, and they cleaned the ward and they, cos everybody went
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
A. (PS50U) [4502] oh they were spotless
Arthur (PS50T) [4503] they were all fit
A. (PS50U) [4504] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [4505] they were all fit, just keep them
A. (PS50U) [4506] Yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [4507] keep them occupied
A. (PS50U) [4508] and then of course erm because, because she just had the operation you see they didn't think it was advisable
Arthur (PS50T) [4509] Pardon?
A. (PS50U) [4510] Because she just had the operation
Arthur (PS50T) [4511] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [4512] they didn't think it was advisable that she came home
Arthur (PS50T) [4513] Mm
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
John (PS510) [4514] I'm not cheating out
A. (PS50U) [4515] Oh no
John (PS510) [4516] I'm not cheating out
Arthur (PS50T) [4517] But you
John (PS510) [4518] but I've been wanting, I've been quietly thinking, the trouble is, you see it isn't just the argument that drives you pot you wouldn't nip home, Paula to go with you to bring her dear Arthur back
A. (PS50U) [4519] Why?
Arthur (PS50T) [4520] I do that
John (PS510) [4521] Well is he going to walk back?
Arthur (PS50T) [4522] if I'm driving the Metro
A. (PS50U) [4523] The only thing, other thing is, that Arthur could take the
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
A. (PS50U) [4524] in his car
Arthur (PS50T) [4525] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [4526] and then they could bring the Metro over, if I go and do some shopping on my way out now at Asda
John (PS510) [4527] Yeah
A. (PS50U) [4528] and then could bring it another day, or
Arthur (PS50T) [4529] Bring back, that's right, either way it's gotta go hasn't it?
John (PS510) [4530] It, perhaps it's a bit much to try and get it all done to er today
A. (PS50U) [4531] No, if you took us in your car, you could come for, if you took us in the Metro today, oh
Arthur (PS50T) [4532] No, say it, go on say it
A. (PS50U) [4533] No, you've still got to get back to your place
Arthur (PS50T) [4534] To get back to my
A. (PS50U) [4535] to your house in it
Arthur (PS50T) [4536] Well either way we've got to do that, two cars have gotta go, it's gotta involve two cars either way, no matter when you do it
John (PS510) [4537] It's got to involve two cars at some time
Arthur (PS50T) [4538] whether you do it start, middle or end, it makes no difference
A. (PS50U) [4539] And then they come for him, and then, you come for him in your car
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
John (PS510) [4540] yeah
Arthur (PS50T) [4541] Yeah, when are they likely to tell you about your biopsy then?
A. (PS50U) [4542] They don't rush
Arthur (PS50T) [4543] No I'm not
John (PS510) [4544] The best thing you could do is ask at the

[5697] He, he balanced ... the strengths of one against another
John (PS510) [5698] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [5699] and what I was a really impressed with ... he, he balanced the, the human, what he felt were the human strengths of the school ... what it felt like ... you know, what the people were like in it ... and erm ... I think that's made his decision ... more difficult ... because he hasn't just gone on ... the ec ... the academic side of it ... he looked at the, the all round ... aspects of it.
John (PS510) [5700] Still and where wo where would get most, most support.
Arthur (PS50T) [5701] That's it, and where is he likely to feel most comfortable.

John (PS510) [5704] Mm.

John (PS510) [5706] No.
Arthur (PS50T) [5707] And once he makes this decision he ... he can't ... after a year or two say well no that was wrong, I won't ... I'll er ... I'll change now because he's only got two years ... there.
[5708] So he's, he's really got to get it right from the word go.
[5709] But whether he will ... I hope he chooses right for him.
[5710] But it will be his decision.
John (PS510) [5711] Where he's going?
Arthur (PS50T) [5712] Yeah.
[5713] He says, you know, what do you think and I say well look ... it's up to you ... and I put the question back to him and say well what do you think?

Paul (PS50X) [5981] I think we've got mum to thank as well for erm ... convincing the doctor to send him into Southwold.
Arthur (PS50T) [5982] Well I think when your mum went
Paul (PS50X) [5983] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [5984] to see the family G P ... in Southwold ... I think that got things moving ... because I don't they would have done anything, they'd have just accepted that ... this is the end, you know, he's gonna die in agony.
[5985] And when ... because the family doctor really know whe anything that was happening ... but was holding on the phone ... over the phone, oh ... he's got a pain ... you know.
[5986] Those painkillers you've ar aren't good enough.
[5987] Not, could you come out and have a look at the chap!
[5988] I think you just ... assume that ... if you give somebody painkillers and they don't work, oh that's it!
[5989] That's the end of the story.
[5990] ... Bye bye to this world!
Paul (PS50X) [5991] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [5992] They failed to realize ... that you need ... it's your own body
Paul (PS50X) [5993] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [5994] it's your own body and you ... have got some say in what happens to it, or what doesn't happen to it.
Paul (PS50X) [5995] Aha.
Arthur (PS50T) [5996] And if you're not satisfied with what is happening ... or not happening ... you should say something ... but grandma insists that she mustn't upset
Paul (PS50X) [5997] People
Arthur (PS50T) [5998] mustn't upset the doctors
Paul (PS50X) [5999] Better to be ill.
Arthur (PS50T) [6000] ooh if you upset the doctors when you're ill, when you're really ill ... they won't let you into hospital!
[6001] Tha ... that's her attitude!
Paul (PS50X) [6002] Seventeenth century.
Arthur (PS50T) [6003] I don't know what century it is but it's ... it's a crazy attitude!
Paul (PS50X) [6004] Yeah.

Arthur (PS50T) [laugh]
Paul (PS50X) [6012] we'll just change company!
[6013] If you said that maybe they'd get it the next day wouldn't they?
Arthur (PS50T) [6014] Well I don't know whether they'd get it but ... they don't want to upset people, the fact that ... they've been ... really inconvenienced by ... not having it ... doesn't seem to come into their thinking.
[6015] ... The only ... people they don't want to upset ... are the people at the garage ... the fact that somebody isn't doing their job properly ... somebody's ... sitting on a form somewhere
Paul (PS50X) [6016] Oh yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [6017] not making a decision
Paul (PS50X) [6018] Like me.
Arthur (PS50T) [6019] and they're allowed to get away with that ... sort of ... gently ... what was it ... his cosy middle job ... could ta you know where you don't make a decision ... where you ... everything around you is nice and cosy here if ... provided you don't make a decision ... nothing will happen!
[6020] And if nothing happens ... it's even cosier!
[6021] And so it goes on and on and until somebody ... gives them a kick up the backside ... they'll continue like that forever and ever ... amen and a day!
Paul (PS50X) [6022] Oh yeah.
[6023] I, though remember erm
Arthur (PS50T) [6024] And that's what your ... grandma doesn't want to upset people like that
Paul (PS50X) [6025] She won't
Arthur (PS50T) [6026] in jobs
Paul (PS50X) [6027] she won't complain in a restaurant
Arthur (PS50T) [6028] in jobs like that [...] .
Paul (PS50X) [6029] will she?
Arthur (PS50T) [6030] No!
Paul (PS50X) [6031] And if ... if the soup was cold ... she'd complain after it ... tell everyone how bad it was but she won't
Arthur (PS50T) [6032] Well er ... I thi maybe, maybe
Paul (PS50X) [6033] well maybe that's why.
Arthur (PS50T) [6034] that's typical of Britain!
Paul (PS50X) [6035] Yeah.

Arthur (PS50T) [6084] The old Norwich Road entrance?
Paul (PS50X) [6085] Yeah ... why didn't they leave it open?

Paul (PS50X) [6274] Some of the people are lucky you've got half term now. ... [laugh]
Arthur (PS50T) [6275] Half term skiing.
Paul (PS50X) [6276] Yeah, a lot of people have ... in our school do that ... summer.
Arthur (PS50T) [6277] Really?
[6278] Have you got
Paul (PS50X) [6279] Yeah. [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [6280] plenty going?
Paul (PS50X) [6281] Yeah.
[6282] A and on the skiing trip, no fourth years allowed to go in that.
Arthur (PS50T) [6283] Why's that?
[6284] Let's, just a minute let get this
Paul (PS50X) [6285] He's er
Arthur (PS50T) [6286] got stopped here.
Paul (PS50X) [6287] You've got the ma erm course ... maths coursework ... and it's gonna take place.
Arthur (PS50T) [6288] Oh, and because it's going to gi ... go in to your
Paul (PS50X) [6289] Yeah then it'll coursework time
Arthur (PS50T) [6290] coursework time?
Paul (PS50X) [6291] Yeah.
[6292] It'll be si ... ski trip will be when we have our maths' coursework ... so ... the there was about ten fourth years going they're really ... annoyed!
[6293] [laugh] ... But the thing is we're going to Edale when we've got our maths coursework.
Arthur (PS50T) [6294] Right.
Paul (PS50X) [6295] I want [...] .
[6296] ... interesting [...] .
[6297] They'll let you do a ... activity, this has been going for years but they won't let you.
Arthur (PS50T) [6298] What, does everybody go ... on the Edale visit as well?
Paul (PS50X) [6299] There's about two people who don't usually.
Arthur (PS50T) [6300] Well and maybe that's the reason why.
Paul (PS50X) [6301] What?
Arthur (PS50T) [6302] Because ... you'll be going on two visits one to ... to the skiing ... and one ... to the Edale
Paul (PS50X) [6303] No, the reason why is cos it clashes with the coursework.
Arthur (PS50T) [6304] But the time, the sessions ... of your coursework you mean?
Paul (PS50X) [6305] Yeah.
[6306] Think so.
[6307] ... Oi, imagine living in one of those houses there you'd be woken up all night by ambulances sw ... blaring away!
Arthur (PS50T) [6308] I don't think they blare away as they come into the hospital.
[6309] ... They only
Paul (PS50X) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [6310] they only put the sirens on erm ... when they want to cle ... clear a way through traffic.
Paul (PS50X) [6311] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [6312] But if there's no need to ... er, make a loud noise
Paul (PS50X) [6313] Yeah but it gets them [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [6314] they don't
Paul (PS50X) [6315] especially
Arthur (PS50T) [6316] they don't put er ... any sirens on.
[6317] And if a patient's really ill ... they try to keep it as smooth ... and fast a ride as possible.
Paul (PS50X) [6318] I think if i if they ... they
Arthur (PS50T) [6319] So they don't frighten them, you know, if you're lying there ... you're having a heart attack or you just had one the last thing you want to hear ... is sort of the ... noise of the siren, the panicking noise of a siren.

Arthur (PS50T) [7628] It wasn't a crisis!
John (PS510) [7629] [...] ... in fact it costs
Arthur (PS50T) [7630] The oil excuse!
John (PS510) [7631] and they're laughing at [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [7632] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah!
John (PS510) [7633] What they ... what they should do ... the, the milk [...] ... I'd say ... your first pint cost you twenty six ... thirty six
Arthur (PS50T) [7634] Yeah.
John (PS510) [7635] all other pints will cost you thirty.
Arthur (PS50T) [7636] Mm.
[7637] Did you know ... that the ... people who sell the milk, the dairies that sell a bring it round to you ... did you know, not many people know this!
[7638] Did you know
John (PS510) [7639] Did you know ... it's about twenty P [...] .
Arthur (PS50T) [7640] No.
[7641] That they are allowed to sell it to shops ... to shops cheaper than they are allowed to sell it to you.
John (PS510) [7642] Yeah.
[7643] Yeah.
[7644] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [7645] There's a minimum charge they can sell it to yo ... individual customers
John (PS510) [7646] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [7647] but they can sell it to shops, a crate of it to shops cheaper ... than ... than they can sell it ... so that means
John (PS510) [7648] And then the shops, the shop
Arthur (PS50T) [7649] bu
John (PS510) [7650] the shop sells it the same price as the
Arthur (PS50T) [7651] No, no the shop could use it then as a as a loss leader ... he could make say, a penny on it an ge so if he buys it at, you're buying what, thirty five?
[7652] I think they can buy it at twenty eight.
John (PS510) [7653] Right.
Paul (PS50X) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [7654] So if he sells it thirty, just, he won't even cover his overheads on that ... but it means instead of having it delivered you go down to Joe's shop get it for thirty P save yourself five P.
John (PS510) [7655] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [7656] Now isn't that crazy?
John (PS510) [7657] Yeah.

John (PS510) [7659] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [7660] Because ... they're encouraging the people who are ... providing the business ... to go out of business.
Paul (PS50X) [7661] Yeah.

[8001] So people who'd either gone to the football or
Arthur (PS50T) [8002] Watching it or listening to it on the

Arthur (PS50T) [8004] Was it on, I think it was on Sky or something
Paul (PS50X) [8005] It was Sky, it was on Sky.
Arthur (PS50T) [8006] Sky T V ... so ... they were either watching it on their own or ... being very neighbourly with their neighbours ... or listening to it on the radio ... or as you say, up in Liverpool.

Arthur (PS50T) [8029] Pardon?
Paul (PS50X) [8030] I just remember.
[8031] [...] this nuisance right.
Arthur (PS50T) [8032] Say that again!
Paul (PS50X) [8033] I remember [...] about.
Arthur (PS50T) [8034] Did you know ... that if a man
Paul (PS50X) [8035] Jumps off, I know.
Arthur (PS50T) [8036] jumps off the top of Big Ben
Paul (PS50X) [8037] Yeah, I know.
Arthur (PS50T) [8038] wearing a tweed jacket
Paul (PS50X) [8039] he
Arthur (PS50T) [8040] he'll hit the ground in ... eight and a half seconds!
Paul (PS50X) [8041] Did you know that this one?
Arthur (PS50T) [8042] Not many people know that!
Paul (PS50X) [8043] That if you jumped off Big Ben ... wearing a s ... sto sto sto sto sto sto ... a wearing a ... wearing a ... leather jacket
Arthur (PS50T) [8044] Mm!
Paul (PS50X) [8045] your top speed would be two hundred and seventy two miles an hour!
Arthur (PS50T) [8046] Not many people know that!
Paul (PS50X) [8047] That's right.
Arthur (PS50T) [8048] Nah ... it's right innit!
Paul (PS50X) [...] [laugh]
Arthur (PS50T) [8049] Ha!
Paul (PS50X) [8050] You know the fastest speed of one [...] is two hundred and forty miles an hour something like that.
Arthur (PS50T) [8051] It's thirty, it accelerates at thirty two feet per second
Paul (PS50X) [8052] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [8053] per second
Paul (PS50X) [8054] But it can only reach
Arthur (PS50T) [8055] doesn't it?
Paul (PS50X) [8056] a certain speed ... but in fact
Arthur (PS50T) [8057] Oh yes!
Paul (PS50X) [8058] as you
Arthur (PS50T) [8059] Yeah.
Paul (PS50X) [8060] fall you slow down because ... you ca there's more, there's more air friction ... towards the ground.
Arthur (PS50T) [8061] Yeah, so if ... as you're falling from a great height.
Paul (PS50X) [8062] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [8063] Okay if ... the theory is, if you dropped a feather and a penny ... at the same time from the same height the theory is that they both should reach the ground
Paul (PS50X) [8064] Equally, equal time.
Arthur (PS50T) [8065] at the same time
Paul (PS50X) [8066] but the feather there's a lot more of
Arthur (PS50T) [8067] but in fact they don't
Paul (PS50X) [8068] the surface area to [...] .
Arthur (PS50T) [8069] Yeah, so if
Paul (PS50X) [8070] to collect the air
Arthur (PS50T) [8071] there's a
Paul (PS50X) [8072] on
Arthur (PS50T) [8073] it tends to float down a bit.
[8074] Just hold on to your seat belt I've got somebody right up our backside!

Arthur (PS50T) [8079] right up behind us.
Paul (PS50X) [8080] Hit your fog light then.
Arthur (PS50T) [8081] Well ... never mind.
Paul (PS50X) [8082] He's trying to get a bit closer.
Arthur (PS50T) [8083] He just got a lot closer than that.
Paul (PS50X) [8084] Blimey [...] [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [8085] A lot closer than that that's
Paul (PS50X) [8086] he's a Ford
Arthur (PS50T) [8087] and at a guess ... is it Ford?
Paul (PS50X) [8088] Ford Escort or something.
Arthur (PS50T) [8089] No it's not.
Paul (PS50X) [8090] [...] , it was a Ford.

Paul (PS50X) [8101] And you don't actually know it's going off do you?
Arthur (PS50T) [8102] It's only happened, you know when the windscreen ... went ... all the bubbles appeared
Paul (PS50X) [8103] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [8104] on ... in, in, in the laminates ... alright ... well ... when they took the windscreen out and replaced it with this one ... it's only since then ... that repair

Paul (PS50X) [8133] powerful gun in the world so
Arthur (PS50T) [8134] it was shot by compression ... rather than explosion
Paul (PS50X) [8135] No , no ... no it's an explosion
Arthur (PS50T) [8136] Yes.
Paul (PS50X) [8137] sent this little erm ... sort of ... tube ... sort of cylinder ... through er ... the hydrogen gas ... and then [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [8138] Explain it again you've lost me already.
Paul (PS50X) [8139] There was a ... it's gunpowder
Arthur (PS50T) [8140] Yep.
Paul (PS50X) [8141] that shot this
Arthur (PS50T) [8142] Why was there gunpowder?
Paul (PS50X) [8143] in the end, the gun was a ... the gun was about
Arthur (PS50T) [8144] It was an actual gun?
Paul (PS50X) [8145] Yeah but it's ... it's not a
Arthur (PS50T) [8146] An ord
Paul (PS50X) [8147] hand gun
Arthur (PS50T) [8148] A rifle?
Paul (PS50X) [8149] No!
[8150] A gu a gun about erm ... forty metres long.
Arthur (PS50T) [8151] Forty metres!
Paul (PS50X) [8152] Yeah, it's a gun.
Arthur (PS50T) [8153] So it was a gun that was only, you'd only find it in a building?
[8154] It isn't an, an
Paul (PS50X) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [8155] actual gun that you'd ... see
Paul (PS50X) [8156] Oh no!
Arthur (PS50T) [8157] somewhere?
Paul (PS50X) [8158] No, it's the only one of its kind!
Arthur (PS50T) [8159] So it's ju it's purely
Paul (PS50X) [8160] No it's [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [8161] experimental?
Paul (PS50X) [8162] Yeah.
[8163] And they were er ... and the gunpowder ... when, when it ... was ignited ... this
Arthur (PS50T) [8164] It exploded.
Paul (PS50X) [8165] yeah, it's
Arthur (PS50T) [8166] the bullet moved away from it
Paul (PS50X) [8167] no, no, not the bullet!
[8168] The, there was a erm ... send it down ... right, and that got sent down this [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [8169] They shot a cylinder away?
Paul (PS50X) [8170] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [8171] A solid cylinder?
Paul (PS50X) [8172] Yeah.
[8173] And this, and this cylinder
Arthur (PS50T) [8174] But a cylinder is empty!
Paul (PS50X) [8175] Yeah, oh it's ... you know I mean a ... [...] ... er
Arthur (PS50T) [8176] A ce it was cylindrical but it was ... solid?
Paul (PS50X) [8177] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [8178] Yeah.
Paul (PS50X) [8179] And it shot it ... went down ... shot it through this barrel ... and inside was hydrogen gas and as it went through
Arthur (PS50T) [8180] But it, but as it went
Paul (PS50X) [8181] when it went
Arthur (PS50T) [8182] through, through the gas, yeah?
Paul (PS50X) [8183] it erm ... the gas just pushed ... very hard
Arthur (PS50T) [8184] So the cylinder fixed tightly inside the barrel like ... just as if
Paul (PS50X) [8185] No!
Arthur (PS50T) [8186] it was
Paul (PS50X) [8187] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [8188] a bullet?
[8189] Yeah.
Paul (PS50X) [8190] And then this ... hits a plate ... and on that plate
Arthur (PS50T) [8191] Now what hits the plate?
[8192] The gas or the bullet?
Paul (PS50X) [8193] The ... both at the same time I think
Arthur (PS50T) [8194] Okay.
Paul (PS50X) [8195] the er
Arthur (PS50T) [8196] What's the point in putting the hydrogen gas
Paul (PS50X) [8197] I'll explain that.
Arthur (PS50T) [8198] Go on.
Paul (PS50X) [8199] Okay.
[8200] And then ... on this plate there's a, there's an actual bullet ... no ... a ... and it, it, it looks like a bullet, I don't kno I don't know what it is ... and it's like [...] that if you hit something
Arthur (PS50T) [8201] Yep.
Paul (PS50X) [8202] if you hit something ... twice as big ... to what you're hitting it'll go twice as fast ... as it does with a snooker ball.
[8203] But a snooker ball isn't twice as big, you know ... when a snooker ball hits something the other ball goes away quicker ... than the ball that's hit it ... yeah?
Arthur (PS50T) [8204] It gains, it gains momentum.
Paul (PS50X) [8205] Yeah.
[8206] So it, it ga it went twice as quick as that ball's going.
Arthur (PS50T) [8207] Mhm.
Paul (PS50X) [8208] And then this went down the barrel and ... you know, hit whatever it wanted to hit ... and each shot cost a thousand pounds!
[8209] In setting each one of them, to get it all ready cost a thousand pounds!
[8210] But they ... they, that wasn't accurate because it has to go up, to have ... fifteen kilometres a second.
Arthur (PS50T) [8211] And they've only got it to seven?
Paul (PS50X) [8212] Yeah.
[8213] But they do that, they reckon it won't take long.
Arthur (PS50T) [8214] Do they think they can get it up to fifteen?
Paul (PS50X) [8215] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [8216] And what's the purpose of it?
Paul (PS50X) [8217] To ... try ... erm ... make a material that ... withstand ... if it was hitting it.
Arthur (PS50T) [8218] At fifteen kilometres ... a second?
Paul (PS50X) [8219] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [8220] Because of the danger of ... space ... things in space being hit by debris ... and the ... the debris is travelling at fifteen kilometres a second?
Paul (PS50X) [8221] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [8222] Yeah?
Paul (PS50X) [8223] [...] ... erm ... a flake of paint hit a spaceship windscreen and it cracked it, just a flake of paint!
Arthur (PS50T) [8224] A flake of paint?
Paul (PS50X) [8225] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [8226] No metal attached to it?
Paul (PS50X) [8227] No, just a flake of paint.
Arthur (PS50T) [8228] Just a flake of paint.
Paul (PS50X) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [8229] Is, is, yes it's, it's, that's doing it.
[8230] So how much ... junk, garbage, rubbish
Paul (PS50X) [8231] I know
Arthur (PS50T) [8232] whatever is up there.
Paul (PS50X) [8233] I know.
Arthur (PS50T) [8234] Is it in one particular area or is it just scattered
Paul (PS50X) [8235] No it's anywhere. [...] [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [8236] That's stupid isn't it?
Paul (PS50X) [8237] Oh it is.
Arthur (PS50T) [8238] Why don't they collect it together then?
Paul (PS50X) [8239] Well it's just like the ends of space rockets you know.
[8240] Mi you know the really old Russian ones, [...] ... when they ... I remember ... when they shot the rockets up and then ... the bits of them just ... get left behind in space.
Arthur (PS50T) [8241] This is crazy!
[8242] It's waiting for an accident to happen!
Paul (PS50X) [8243] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [8244] Because if one of, not just a flake of paint if something ... bigger than that
Paul (PS50X) [8245] Yeah, and when
Arthur (PS50T) [8246] a piece of a rocket or
Paul (PS50X) [8247] and when tho ... when that
Arthur (PS50T) [8248] a bolt or a nut or something
Paul (PS50X) [8249] and when that hit ... whatever it hit
Arthur (PS50T) [8250] it would really damage it wouldn't it?
Paul (PS50X) [8251] and when that hits whatever it hit that's gonna explode and that's gonna ... send [...] .
Arthur (PS50T) [8252] Oh my God!
[8253] So, are the plans afoot ... to ... collect this rubbish?
Paul (PS50X) [8254] No, just tha I don't think they're gonna [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [8255] Are we go ar ... are we going to have dustbin men orbiting the world?
Paul (PS50X) [8256] [laughing] Yeah [] !
Arthur (PS50T) [8257] Ha?
Paul (PS50X) [8258] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [8259] Waiting for a Christmas tip!
[8260] ... That's a thought isn't it?
Paul (PS50X) [8261] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [8262] Maybe there's an industry in the fu ... er, for the future there Paul?
[8263] Seriously!
[8264] Refuse collection
Paul (PS50X) [8265] Have to have some [...] .
Arthur (PS50T) [8266] Orbital Cleaning Services!
[8267] Refuse ... refuse collection of the world ... world ... out of this world, we're out of this world!
[8268] We're
Paul (PS50X) [8269] Di ... did grandpa say he could drive back?
Arthur (PS50T) [8270] Oh, said he could drive back, I don't think ... he might be able
Paul (PS50X) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [8271] to but ... I do
Paul (PS50X) [8272] He [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [8273] I think it would erm ... that would set him back Paul ... that really would.
Paul (PS50X) [8274] Oh yeah!
Arthur (PS50T) [8275] Don't play around
Paul (PS50X) [8276] I think
Arthur (PS50T) [8277] with that!
Paul (PS50X) [8278] [...] ... he's in high spirits isn't he?
[8279] That he's coming out.
Arthur (PS50T) [8280] Well it's good that!
[8281] It's
Paul (PS50X) [8282] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [8283] it's important he's ... feeling he wants to do things.
Paul (PS50X) [8284] And what's this about a light switch?
Arthur (PS50T) [8285] When the wardrobes are moved it could be that they will hide the wall light switch and he's not bothered about that one little bit!
[8286] Because it doesn't, as he says ... he doesn't use the main light in the room ... he uses the bedside lights ... okay?
Paul (PS50X) [8287] Aha.
[8288] And if he really needs
Arthur (PS50T) [8289] Good!
Paul (PS50X) [8290] to put it on he can just ... put his hand behind it.
[8291] ... Ha, [...] dark.
Arthur (PS50T) [8292] He just doesn't want it on!
[8293] So i ... it doesn't come into it that!
[8294] Okay?
Paul (PS50X) [8295] Aha.
Arthur (PS50T) [8296] [sighing] Right [] .
Paul (PS50X) [8297] It's such a small room that one.
Arthur (PS50T) [8298] Pardon?
Paul (PS50X) [8299] It's such a small room.
Arthur (PS50T) [8300] Small ... room?
Paul (PS50X) [8301] Mm.
Arthur (PS50T) [8302] Yep.
[8303] ... Out tomorrow!
[8304] Hasn't he done well?
Paul (PS50X) [8305] He's been very lucky!
[8306] That's right he [...] .
Arthur (PS50T) [8307] Pardon?
Paul (PS50X) [8308] He ... he's the only person out of that ... in that whole Ward
Arthur (PS50T) [8309] Mm.
Paul (PS50X) [8310] the only patient that probably hasn't got cancer ... he's the only one.
Arthur (PS50T) [8311] But the others ... that have got the
Paul (PS50X) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [8312] cancers I think you'll find that ... what they're doing with them ar ... a lot of those cancers will be cured.
Paul (PS50X) [8313] Oh yeah!
[8314] No, all they have to do once they've found one new [...] cure for cancer
Arthur (PS50T) [8315] Yes.
Paul (PS50X) [8316] the they'll have it for everything!
[8317] Cos they're all generally the same cancer so
Arthur (PS50T) [8318] Well, if you find a universal cure for something that's what it
Paul (PS50X) [8319] Yeah, I mean
Arthur (PS50T) [8320] means!
Paul (PS50X) [8321] No, if they find one cure for it.
[8322] If they find a cure for say, lung cancer ... they'll just have to chase just a tiny bit and they will do [...] cancer. [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [8323] I don't know.
Paul (PS50X) [8324] Cos all cancer is your cells erm
Arthur (PS50T) [8325] Ah but that's the simplistic
Paul (PS50X) [8326] I know.
Arthur (PS50T) [8327] side of it, er all it is is that
Paul (PS50X) [8328] That's all it, yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [8329] It's what triggers it and what causes it to keep triggering and moving that and
Paul (PS50X) [8330] Mm.
Arthur (PS50T) [8331] going out of control.
[8332] What ... and if we can ... find out what it is that does that
Paul (PS50X) [8333] You go to people and say
Arthur (PS50T) [8334] and then
Paul (PS50X) [8335] antidote [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [8336] and then find
Paul (PS50X) [8337] that sort of thing.
Arthur (PS50T) [8338] and then find ... what it's ... what we can do to stop it triggering ... and carrying that ... reaction on and on and on and on ... or ... turning it back.
[8339] If that makes that happen that way ... what ... makes it go the opposite way?
[8340] You know, what makes it reduce?
[8341] In safety, that is.
[8342] ... Cos you might find you give somebody something ... erm ... which counteracts that
Paul (PS50X) [8343] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [8344] but then because it's going into the body it's also counteracting so many other things that you don't want it to counteract.
Paul (PS50X) [8345] What lu like ... chemotherapy?
Arthur (PS50T) [8346] Yeah.
Paul (PS50X) [8347] Mm.
[8348] Ah!
Arthur (PS50T) [8349] Right, come on then.
[8350] Can you bring in ... all those things out of the back?
Paul (PS50X) [8351] [yawning] Aha [] .
Arthur (PS50T) [8352] Please?
[8353] The sweets, the books ... the lot, everything he's just given us.
Paul (PS50X) [8354] Go and shut that door.
[8355] That's it.
Arthur (PS50T) [8356] Don't leave anything behind.
[8357] Have you got the lot?
Paul (PS50X) [8358] Yep.
Arthur (PS50T) [8359] Three carriers, whisky and wine ... that was it.
[8360] And wild, wild women!
[8361] Close the door ... properly.
[8362] ... Three carriers ... bottle of whisky ... bottle of wine.
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [8363] Bottle of whisky?
Arthur (PS50T) [8364] Bottle of wine.
Paul (PS50X) [8365] Here's his sweets.
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [8366] And what do you want?
Arthur (PS50T) [8367] They're his thankyous.
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [8368] [...] ?
Arthur (PS50T) [8369] He's getting ready.
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [8370] You saw [...] didn't you?
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [8371] Leave them!
Paul (PS50X) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [8372] He's given them to us that's why!
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [8373] Oh! [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [8374] No I'm not.
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [8375] Well he's ... no ... once I'm home.

[8380] And he said ... said ... yes
A. (PS50U) [8381] Not for long!
Arthur (PS50T) [8382] I know you do it for the good of us ... but I still like to ... to buy you something as a thank you.
A. (PS50U) [8383] Well I'll get [...]

Arthur (PS50T) [8400] yeah, he was a bit tired.
A. (PS50U) [8401] Cold?
Arthur (PS50T) [8402] No, his cold from this morning, he had a ... drippy nose remember?
A. (PS50U) [8403] Oh yeah you said so.
Arthur (PS50T) [8404] Yeah.
[8405] Er, his eyes were a bit full, you know, you know when somebody's
A. (PS50U) [8406] Yeah.
Arthur (PS50T) [8407] sickening for a cold ... erm
A. (PS50U) [8408] What did the nurse say about that [...] ?
Arthur (PS50T) [8409] God, they're not worried about that!
[8410] They've got all his tablets sorted for him ... for coming home.
[8411] You know, what he'll have
A. (PS50U) [8412] Are they [...] ?
Arthur (PS50T) [8413] dosage, frequency ... so on.
A. (PS50U) [8414] And he has to contact the doctor?
Arthur (PS50T) [8415] Erm ... he didn't say that ... that'll all be ... no doubt he'll have all sorts of notes and that ... er
A. (PS50U) [8416] When is he able to come out?
Arthur (PS50T) [8417] Any, any time after ten o'clock he said.
A. (PS50U) [8418] Ooh.

Arthur (PS50T) [8446] Oh he said, he said he just, he's just gonna leave them.

[8448] So it'll be ... never know, you might get some happy doctors!
[8449] Erm ... what else?
Paula (PS50V) [8450] Did he suggest that or did you ask him?
Arthur (PS50T) [8451] He asked the nurse.
[8452] She said wine, he, she suggested whisky and ... oh no not that much then, oh no you're worth more than that, you know the usual thing to
Paula (PS50V) [8453] But did you suggest it to him did he want to bring, take anything in ... or
Arthur (PS50T) [8454] Yeah.
Paula (PS50V) [8455] oh yeah.

Arthur (PS50T) [8466] he was tired, he's got this cold coming on ... but he said ... you can be in here so long but after a while ... you feel as though you've got to come out, you need to get out!
[8467] You know he, and he's at that point now
Paula (PS50V) [8468] Mm.

Paula (PS50V) [9136] Could you have her to live with you?
Arthur (PS50T) [9137] No she'd drive me
Paula (PS50V) [laugh]
Arthur (PS50T) [9138] up the wall
Paula (PS50V) [9139] I know I've said that and you said oh no I could cope with your mum and
Arthur (PS50T) [9140] I thought I could, I thought I could ... I really thought I could but oh God ... I'd be okay if I could ...
Paula (PS50V) [9141] You'll never have any life you know
Arthur (PS50T) [9142] could go deaf, if I could go selectively deaf, then I'll be alright
Paula (PS50V) [9143] You'll never have any life of your own would you?
Arthur (PS50T) [9144] [laugh] Well that's fair enough
Paula (PS50V) [9145] I never said she, she, I mean, I think, I blame myself as well I think I was on edge, but everything, everything she questions, you know, like she can't be nice, says no you're not having anything oh she says
Arthur (PS50T) [9146] No I think that's just showing interest, that's the questioning that's just showing interest
Paula (PS50V) [9147] But then she'll ask you three times ... again, three times
Arthur (PS50T) [9148] Yeah, that's, that's when it's hard she asks you the same thing again and again and a few minutes later, then half an hour later, then, then you think have you listened [laugh]
Paula (PS50V) [9149] I've told you that, I mean today she was asking, she, she was standing there while I loaded the dishwasher she says I've got to learn how to do it haven't I?
[9150] I thought oh go away
Arthur (PS50T) [9151] What learn how to
Paula (PS50V) [9152] and that's how you do it
Arthur (PS50T) [9153] She hasn't got one
Paula (PS50V) [9154] No but
Arthur (PS50T) [9155] She's not going to get one
Paula (PS50V) [9156] really, really she
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Paula (PS50V) [9157] with her she had to learn
Arthur (PS50T) [9158] Oh I see, yeah, ah, go, she's just, she's just got to have something to do ...
Paula (PS50V) [9159] Yeah, but anything she does takes her such a long time, I mean like the ironing like
Arthur (PS50T) [9160] Well yeah but she is seven seventy isn't she ... has it always taken her or has it?
Paula (PS50V) [9161] Yes
Arthur (PS50T) [9162] It's always taken twice, three times the length of time as anybody else?
Paula (PS50V) [9163] but then she'll go upstairs and come down but then she'll go upstairs and come down
Arthur (PS50T) [9164] Bit of exercise ... keeping herself fit
Paula (PS50V) [9165] I wonder if Philip was or wasn't
Arthur (PS50T) [9166] Pardon?
Paula (PS50V) [9167] I wonder if Philip was or wasn't
Arthur (PS50T) [9168] You wonder if Philip was what?
Paula (PS50V) [9169] purely that he was really just
Arthur (PS50T) [9170] Oh I think it was psychological that ...
Paula (PS50V) [9171] if it was he's in a bad way int he?
Arthur (PS50T) [9172] Erm, well what your mum and dad said to me is that he gets very worried, het up, really tensed about doing things, that's going, you know, things that are gonna happen, like just driving down to a different place, er and he get's himse himself so het up , so worried, he makes himself ill, I think that's what's happened
Paula (PS50V) [9173] And as soon as he got home the pressure was off
Arthur (PS50T) [9174] The pressure was off and he was fine and he was ... he was his normal self ... and that's what happens each time
Paula (PS50V) [9175] Yeah cos if it was as bad as he said it was, I mean he would only stand up for one or two hours at a time, whereas he'd been up since nine, he was still sitting up at one o'clock when I arrived there
Arthur (PS50T) [9176] Yeah, he made a miraculous recovery today ... and I think that seems to point or to confirm what your, what your mum and dad was saying ...
Paula (PS50V) [9177] Well that sort of problem will only get worse
Arthur (PS50T) [9178] Yeah I'm afraid so, I think it's compounded by the fact that your, what your dad says sums it up beautifully about your mum, I was talking to him about, you know, what does she, what she's got in her life other than what she ever had other than a home, working and so on, has she got any hobbies at home or does she do anything is there anything that takes her mind off things
Paula (PS50V) [9179] Yeah, but she still has Philip
Arthur (PS50T) [9180] and he says no she hasn't, she, her hobby is Philip
Paula (PS50V) [9181] but as soon as Philip can't do what she wants him to do I E run to the door
Arthur (PS50T) [9182] Then she turns on him
Paula (PS50V) [9183] then she turns on him
Arthur (PS50T) [9184] then she turns on him, yes
Paula (PS50V) [9185] I mean I hate the way she stands behind somebody mouths and
Arthur (PS50T) [9186] Mimics
Paula (PS50V) [9187] mimics them and that, oh I hate that, I hate that ... as I say a few times I thought to myself I do not like
Arthur (PS50T) [9188] You are my mother [laugh]

Paula (PS50V) [9403] Well this is it
Arthur (PS50T) [9404] because of the look of it, when in fact that's only part of it ... it depends whether he's gonna be motivated there, they mo it's not gonna need much motivation but if people are interested in you for what you are like, like they have been, yeah, and he's experienced all, he's been somebody special there hasn't he?
Paula (PS50V) [9405] Yeah

Arthur (PS50T) [9431] Yeah, but it depends what, how it takes, what form it takes ... if he's ... if it's sort of their others are of similar ability, okay, but if it's because, if people don't take any notice of him because of
Paula (PS50V) [9432] Oh yeah, mm, mm
Arthur (PS50T) [9433] no just because of they're that type, they don't take any notice of anybody

Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Arthur (PS50T) [9443] he's got to be himself, for, yeah selfish it's been easier for us for transport problem, if Paul decides to go somewhere else I think you've got to give 'em them freedom to do it, freedom of choice
Paula (PS50V) [9444] Oh
Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...]
Paula (PS50V) [9445] where Nathan goes
Arthur (PS50T) [9446] Really, so Paul is in, hasn't got freedom then?

Unknown speaker (KP1PSUNK) [...] ...
Paula (PS50V) [9460] Yeah it might as you say with Paul but I'd be more worried about Paul bombing around every year than Tony
Arthur (PS50T) [9461] I'd be more worried about Tony, cos I don't think Tony's as well wise as Paul is, in some ways ... really for both of them it wouldn't do them any harm you know because look, they're, they're, they're not typical lads in many ways
