[Kyle] Alright and we are ready to go?
[Adam] We’re live okay. So we going to say welcome along to the continuum or are we going to carry on?
[Kyle] Well, I think we’re going to start with the Continuum for now.
[Adam] The Continuum Podcast. Right. Okay.
[Kyle] And then let’s give everybody a bit of a break down what we’re doing. So we think we’ve obviously been trying to figure things out now.
[Adam] Yeah, we’ve decided that we’re going to take the topic that we finished last week’s podcast or the previous podcast, and we’re going to try and continue it into this week’s.
[Kyle] Yes. So. So anything in between may pick up…
[Adam] The way we’ve worked it so far is that you’ve essentially led us on these various different side quests, if you like, and we always seem to end on a wildly different subject to what we started on. Yes. Yes, we can. We can make it like one incredibly long podcast.
[Kyle] Yeah. I think that sounds good.
[Adam] But you only have to listen in half hour.
[Kyle] Yeah, listen. Half hour. Or you can just enjoy it as a whole series to binge. Yeah. And just enjoy the chat if you’re going on a long drive just to enjoy our subtle…

[Adam] Some sort of continuation there for you, then.
[Kyle] Yeah, I think that makes perfect sense.
[Adam] Yeah, it’s.
[Kyle] Good. Nothing like hearing from two guys that don’t know anything about anything.
[Adam] Yeah. Yeah. So.
[Kyle] But that’s just about every friend, isn’t it? All right. Yeah. Okay. Well, still.
[Adam] Friends do, isn’t it? Just talk nonsense, and…
[Kyle] We’ll just be everybody’s friends.
[Adam] Goes off on various tangents.
[Kyle] So to start off, then.
[Adam] Well, last time we finished up with a I apologize, a pretty gross story about my takeaway and the repercussions that I had from that takeaway.
[Kyle] So we live and learn.
[Adam] We do, Yeah. So what I want to ask you really is where do you stand on midweek takeaways? This is for me, I think a takeaway should really be on a Friday or Saturday night.
[Kyle] I agree. Yeah, I agree. I mean, obviously there are a lot of people that do takeaways all the time. There was one program I was watching and her name was “Kelly Kashona” showing us something like this. I don’t know.
[Adam] Okay.
[Kyle] You probably know her name when you see her.
[Adam] Are we talking like a UK celebrity?
[Kyle] Yeah. Yeah. Anyway…
[Adam] I know who you’re talking about, I think.
[Kyle] Apparently… this is on Gogglebox.
[Adam] Kerry Katona.
[Kyle] Yeah, that’s the one. Who did I say?
[Adam] “Kashon” I think. Oh, okay. Yeah, that’s close enough. Yeah.
[Kyle] Sorry. It’s a second language for me.
[Adam] Yeah, okay.
[Review] Yeah.
[Kyle] So I was watching on Gogglebox where she’s moved into a new house, and apparently for the last six months, she’s never cooked a meal in her own house. And she has takeaways every day. Every night.
[Adam] That’s mad.
[Kyle] I mean, as a kid, I cannot think of anything better. To have takeaways. Yeah, You know, especially when I was growing up, we had we had different restaurants in South Africa, India for meals. I mean, you’ve got the McDonald’s season there, but there were a couple of other restaurants where you’d have there’s one called Steers where you would actually have again, they call them Brat Packs.
[Adam] Right.
[Kyle] And it was the same as like a Happy Meal where you get a toy, which, I mean, they.
[Adam] I prefer Brat Pack.
[Kyle] Yeah, I think it’s very cool. I mean, the stuff that they did was was awesome at the time because I don’t care what anyone says. The toys that McDonald’s and that are coming out with now are garbage. Rubbish. I mean, they’ve got to work on that. Yeah, because I remember when I used to get these things what I felt like I remember that’s I could at least play with this thing for a week.
[Kyle] You know, I’ve, I’ve got a daughter and she gets this Happy Meal toy that’s this Minions thing that you’ve got to build out of paper, essentially.
[Adam] Okay.
[Kyle] Yeah. And after I’ve stepped on it, I’m sorry, but it’s.
[Adam] It’s worthless.
[Kyle] It’s worthless now in.
[Adam] The bin, it goes. Yeah. Yeah, I don’t really know what the whole deal with the Happy Meal toys was, I think. Did they become like a collector’s item?
[Kyle] I think some must be.
[Adam] Yeah. Yeah.
[Kyle] But, yeah, I just don’t know what’s happening. It’s the same as Kinder Eggs. Although I feel like they’ve turned around. I don’t know. The last time you got yourself a kind of joy.
[Adam] Oh, man. So many years ago. I haven’t got a clue.
[Kyle] Yeah, So.
[Adam] They. Horrible chocolate?
[Kyle] What do you mean, horrible?
[Adam] It’s a.
[Review] Horrible job.
[Adam] It’s so bad.
[Kyle] But listen, you’re not buying it for the chocolate are you?
[Adam] The Kinder Surprise.
[Kyle] Yeah, that was good.
[Adam] Do they call them Kinder Joy’s in South Africa or is that just something you said?
[Kyle] I just make stuff up. Okay. Yeah. So I kind of just fall in the space if I can’t remember the word. Yeah, I’ll just fill in the potato into joy.
[Adam] I like it.
[Kyle] Yeah, some. So going back to the takeaways though, yeah, I cannot think of anything worse than having a takeaway meal.
[Adam] Yeah.
[Kyle] Every single day now. But even during the week, it’s feels like cheating. I mean, we really are relatively fit guys, I would say.
[Review] Yeah.
[Kyle] I said relatively.
[Adam] For my age. I guess I’ll take it.
[Kyle] No, but I think okay, let’s, let’s actually say if why is this study on this actually in terms of the fitness of somebody because yeah, we’re I would say we will probably above average.
[Adam] Yeah. In comparison I would have thought so so based on the nation.
[Kyle] Okay Yeah that that’s probably I probably should have phrased that as we’re above average in fitness rather than relatively fast. Yeah.
[Review] Yeah. Okay. Yeah, that’s, that’s fair.
[Adam] Yeah.
[Kyle] I mean, I’m never going to run a marathon.
[Adam] So I don’t. Yeah, but.
[Kyle] So I think.
[Adam] What.
[Kyle] We’re a bit more conscious, I think in our decisions in terms of food and what we have and whatever else. But although you’d want to takeaways the during the week, what else do you have during the week. Do you.
[Adam] I mean how well do you cook in general. Yeah. For instance last night I basically remade what essentially is takeaway food because I liked the look of it and I wanted to see if I could replicate it. It was a Greek souvlaki, I think it was pronounced souvlaki, Souvlaki.
[Review] Leicester.
[Adam] So it was like a Greek pizza, okay? It was like chips and halloumi and stuff. And and it’s really unhealthy.
[Kyle] When you say chips, you mean.
[Adam] To be.
[Kyle] Like, yeah, potatoes, potato fries. Okay.
[Adam] Do you call them fries? And so far as I.
[Kyle] Know, we just call them, we call them. So there’s a there’s a it’s say steaks. Well they call them slop chips, you know, and you know like the ones that you get a chippy.
[Adam] Yeah. Yeah.
[Kyle] They call them slop chips. Slop, slop.
[Adam] Okay. Hmm. I connection. No re slop.
[Kyle] Means right now. But if I had to guess, I’d probably say it’s like a flimsy.
[Adam] Yeah, it’s flimsy. The word.
[Kyle] Slop.
[Review] Is it?
[Kyle] It’s a pretty.
[Review] Horrible sight, but.
[Kyle] I mean, they taste good. No, definitely. So, how is your Slovakia souvlaki?
[Adam] Okay. Yeah. No, it was good. It was nice. But you so much salt. Yeah. It can’t be good for you. Like salty halloumi, cheese and sausage.
[Kyle] I think it’s that naturally preserving myself. Yeah, the. Yeah. From the inside.
[Adam] Okay. Yeah, it. Fair enough. Yeah. Yeah. That’s the same can be said for sugar I think.
[Kyle] Yeah, I suppose so. Yeah. It’s also preservative.
[Adam] Right.
[Kyle] So at this rate I’m going to have to at least 200. Yeah. So, but what do you think though with uh. Do you, do you have any of the ready made meals that you just warm up in a microwave or.
[Adam] I’ve got to be really feeling lazy to do that. Yeah, I think I come.
[Kyle] But there are people out there are having that every day. Yeah, but.
[Adam] Yeah.
[Kyle] But it’s cheaper than cooking.
[Adam] You know, cooking in general. Like proper meals and things. It’s not been, it’s not something that’s taught or anything. No. So it’s quite easy to not know how to do a lot of things. Yeah. I mean we’ve a bit of time if you, you know all of the food packaging has instructions so yeah, it’s not really much of an excuse for discomfort, isn’t it, for a lot of people.
[Kyle] Do you follow the instructions?
[Adam] Not because, but it’s a background of me. I used to be a chef, so I’ve been trained by, you know, by professionals. And I wouldn’t really call myself a professional now because I don’t do it for a living. But yeah, I’ve still got a lot of that knowledge. So I, I, I don’t tend to time things. I just do it by or by feel your taste, you know?
[Kyle] Yeah, but some me What kind of got you into the chef thing though.
[Adam] Originally I actually grew up wanting to be a chef.
[Kyle] Well, okay.
[Adam] Yeah, yeah. I left chef ing because I didn’t get paid enough, and I was doing stupid hours. Yeah, I actually enjoyed the work, but it’s just not. It’s not a the right lifestyle. Yeah. For me back then, I certainly not now. I like a 9 to 5.
[Kyle] Well yeah. You’re not going to do that and chef thing. I, I think one of the worst things for chef thing, I mean again it looks like a glamorous job, but again, the prep work that goes into everything, it’s like someone has to, you know, it’s not me, you know? Yeah. I mean, if you if you’re going to make fries.
[Kyle] Yeah. You’re not going to buy in bags are frauds.
[Adam] Yeah. I mean.
[Kyle] Gossip depending.
[Adam] On the level of. Yeah. Restaurant. Yeah.
[Kyle] Yeah, I suppose so. Yeah. But I just wonder what the instruction is sometimes, because when I do a roast, for example, like I said, everything’s got instructions on. And even when you roasting a chicken, I’ll be like, you’ve got to roast this for two and a half hours.
[Adam] Yeah.
[Kyle] And I think, hold on, if I did this for two and a half hours, this thing is going to be so dry, you know? Yeah. What? What do I want to do so long?
[Adam] So it’s. That’s more to cover their asses, isn’t it.
[Kyle] Yeah, I think so.
[Adam] For things like chicken pull. Yeah. They, they’re covering themselves so yeah. They are going to give you a dry cookie at your own risk. Really. You know.
[Kyle] Yeah. It’s like if you want to make this more moist lather, it’s in Bicester, which we sell for.
[Adam] I was expecting, but not this day. That’s. That’s good. Well.
[Kyle] You’ve kind of craved with the roast.
[Adam] I mean. Yeah, but I wouldn’t bite based my chicken. It, it that’s for you with.
[Kyle] No you haven’t had a fried chicken have you.
[Adam] No, not really. Not only eat it so let’s talk about your foods from home, from South Africa, the motherland.
[Kyle] Okay. Um.
[Adam] Well, have things that you miss. And what’s. What’s different? What’s. You know.
[Kyle] I think one of the big.
[Adam] Things was meats.
[Kyle] Meats in South Africa is just a much bigger thing. Yeah. You know, even fruits and vegetables, again, like the UK is not a great grower of fruit and veg.
[Adam] Probably largely due to the weather.
[Kyle] I would think so, yeah. Especially like the tropical fruits or anything else. Although my neighbors got some lovely grapes growing. It’s got like a great fun in this country. Yeah. Yeah. Growing along as well. I mean, they probably taste like dirt, but they look beautiful. At least make something. Must surprised. Yeah. Yeah, I might have just jumped the fence obviously, but some obviously meats a big thing you have have the price.
[Adam] But I have got.
[Kyle] Over all the Ah. Braai. Yeah. That’s it. You got it. Okay.
[Adam] Which is barbecue.
[Kyle] Or just the barbecue. Yeah. And, but that’s a big thing, you know, probably I want to say almost at least once a month you’re going around to a friend’s house or you’re posting abroad and, you know, just doing that. So that’s one of the big things. But then even on the stuff that you have in the broil, throw like a steak, then you have your flashy.
[Adam] Latte.
[Kyle] Which is like a it’s just like a bread. No, it’s it’s you have your your chicken, which is skewed on the middle. What do you like? That’s a flight of chicken. Which ones have you had. One of the if you had one of those chickens where you take can the can of beer.
[Adam] And then cut the top off. Yes. Stick the chicken on top. Yeah. No, I’ve not tried. I thought about it. I don’t think it fit in my barbecue. That’s the problem. Yeah, it’s it’s really, really good that.
[Kyle] Yeah. It’s just obviously because all the steam and everything else, it’s actually like, steaming it from inside. But then all the, you know, beer flavors, it’s actually really, really good. So I’d recommend that. Yeah. But so that’s one of the big, big things that I miss voice the most. Yeah. They call it voice. It’s like a sausage.
[Adam] Right? They call it. Oh yeah. Like a Versed. Yeah. German.
[Kyle] Yeah, exactly.
[Adam] Okay.
[Kyle] Gotcha. So yeah, you’re they call a divorce.
[Adam] All right.
[Kyle] So. But it’s like form kind of old South African kind of, you know.
[Adam] Yeah.
[Kyle] So I have no idea why it’s called that, but it’s what it is.
[Review] Yeah.
[Kyle] So I missed that. Um, yeah, I think. I think the thing is food and takeaways and everything else there. It’s just also so much cheaper than here. Yeah.
[Adam] Yeah.
[Kyle] Expect, I mean, obviously the economy’s got to do greatly with it’s been, you know, you can quite easily go out and have a bottle of wine and do whatever and you’re not going to spend more than, you know, if I take my family, I probably not going to spend more than a £30.
[Adam] You know.
[Kyle] Yeah, that’s including a bottle of wine.
[Adam] That’s what you spend each over here. It isn’t it.
[Kyle] Yeah. That it’s it’s ridiculous.
[Adam] Yeah.
[Kyle] I mean that’s, I think we kind of mentioned that before is that’s just the human hand touching. Something just goes through the and it’s.
[Review] Yeah.
[Kyle] Same as same as Costa coffee.
[Review] Oh God. Yeah. Yeah.
[Kyle] I mean I have to go on a rant about that at some point, but some.
[Adam] Well the prices.
[Kyle] Well I mean Costa’s not the one to blame here at all. They like, I think. I think you look at prices.
[Adam] On the same everywhere, isn’t it. Yeah.
[Kyle] You’re looking at prices since a while ago on.
[Adam] A menu didn’t I. So it was 2007 I think. Yeah. And for a standard latte we might have been a large latte. Actually, I think it was £1.70. That’s 13 years ago. 14 years ago.
[Kyle] Yeah.
[Adam] And now you’re looking at three quid.
[Kyle] Well that’s three quid if you get it from a machine.
[Adam] Yeah it’s Yeah. £2.70 for a large it at the petrol station or whatever.
[Kyle] Yeah. For a large.
[Adam] Costa.
[Kyle] It’s just mad.
[Adam] Insane. Yeah.
[Kyle] But Oh mean that’s another subject we’re going to have to delve into. Delve into at some point.
[Adam] In the world. To rights. Yes. No that’s right.
[Kyle] Definitely. Yeah. But I’m going to, I’m going to probably also make some well, say I’m not going to make I’ll probably my missus to make a milk tart at some point as well.
[Adam] A milk tart? Yeah. That sounds horrific.
[Review] Okay, so what is it?
[Kyle] It’s I think it’s kind of what it sounds like, but it’s just almost like a Celestine torte. Yeah, but it’s like more of a vanilla and cinnamon flavor.
[Adam] Right.
[Kyle] I’ll say cinnamon. It’s got, like, cinnamon dusting. It’s not like just covered in cinnamon. You’ll have to try it out. I’ll invite you. I’ll try anything. I’ll invite you once for a dry fry.
[Adam] But what I was going to say is this. This is going to be an a year round thing out out in South Africa then?
[Kyle] Well, I definitely.
[Adam] Yeah, yeah, yeah. See, over here, it sort of reaches a point where you don’t, you know, the weather’s we get seasons. So is that, you know, that’s something that can be quite nice unless you’re you know preferable to summer. Yeah. Or or one season over there is the weather’s a year round. Well the thing is.
[Kyle] The difference there is the sun works. That’s how you explain to people. It’s like the sun comes out, you know, this is middle of winter. Yeah, the sun will come up. And especially we are where I lived in Johannesburg. Sun would come up at whatever time and be like zero degrees Celsius.
[Adam] Right?
[Kyle] And then by the time it gets to like mid-morning or afternoon, it’s up to like 14 or 15 degrees.
[Review] Right.
[Kyle] Whereas here it’s like it’s zero zero in the morning. It gets to maybe minus one by the afternoon.
[Adam] Yeah, it’s pretty, pretty horrific at times. Yeah.
[Kyle] But you know, it’s always a different life. So. Yeah, it is. And you know, I still prefer the cold weather because I’m, I’m one of those people. I’ll say I’m cold, I can always throw another layer on, you know, feel hot.
[Adam] And it’s so much harder to cool down than it is to warm up.
[Kyle] Exactly. Yeah, exactly.
[Adam] But what do you like? I do? Like I say, I like the summer. I like I think I like 20 to 23 degrees. And if it stayed like that all year round, I think I’d be happy. Really? Yeah, I know it. 23 degrees is room temperature a perfect temperature?
[Kyle] I suppose so, yeah. Okay. I don’t know. You talk about 22 max. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, that, that’s good.
[Adam] Because then you can lounge around in like a pair of shorts and t shirt. Yeah. Like all year round. But I don’t know where we have to go for that.
[Kyle] I’ve got a big question about the British culture. Yeah. You know, obviously I’ve been here for about ten years and there’s just some things that I don’t understand. Why is it that the British people don’t know how to use a heater in a car? Because any time after having a call, it’s had somebody else in, they got all bloody, oh, it’s cold and they turn the heater onto full blast.
[Adam] Okay. Well it’s climate control in most modern cars and I tend to keep a 23, but then I do get a little bit too warm in the winter, you know? Yeah, because I’m already laid up. Yeah. It’s very difficult I suppose to.
[Kyle] That’s the thing. I don’t, I don’t mind if you even sit to a temperature, it’s fine but when you have to not. I mean I got into one of vans the other day and obviously it been driven by somebody else and then after about 5 minutes of bloody hell, it’s hot. And I looked at it. Guess what? So watch full whack on the heat.
[Kyle] But I remember when I used to go on the busses when I first arrived. Let’s use public transport. Yeah. I don’t know if the bus drivers did it for a laugh, but they would have. The heat is on the bus. I was pretty much sweating in the bus, but then the bus driver has his window rolled down and he’s getting like this fresh cold air flowing on him.
[Kyle] I was thinking.
[Adam] Well, that’s probably why he’s got his window down and he needs to have the he you know, because he doesn’t want to get too cold.
[Kyle] It just does not make sense, I guess. But it’s not like the.
[Adam] Transport is over. There’s no. You’re better off driving. Yeah, you are better off driving. I don’t I’m not a fan of public transport in this country.
[Kyle] Well, it’s it’s got a lot of work to do. Yeah. I mean, the train.
[Adam] First of all, never been on time.
[Kyle] Well, I think it’s better than, again, what are you comparing it to.
[Adam] Japan’s.
[Kyle] Nikkei. Well, yeah, that that’s a whole different different sets of. Oh yeah. They’re mental understanding.
[Adam] Know.
[Kyle] But I think you have to look at what you’re comparing it to but the train system, I think at some point they’ve got to look at that and know hold on guys, this is ridiculous. So my dad came to visit.
[Adam] Yes.
[Kyle] And great to see him. I booked him a train won’t mention my, but he had to go basically from Bristol. He arrived at Bristol Airport. Yeah. Had to go through to Eastleigh.
[Adam] Okay. Yeah.
[Kyle] And I think the ticket price for him to do that was about £47 for him to go by me.
[Adam] Yeah.
[Kyle] Yeah, fine. Already. Then I’m going. Wow, this is pretty steep. Quite a.
[Adam] Lot.
[Kyle] Then I spoke a ticket for him to go to Birmingham. Kind of. Kind of the same price. Yeah, during the week. That’s fun. Same ticket coming back on a Friday. The £87.
[Review] Oh, yeah.
[Adam] You know, get like returns and things like that. Or is that just a.
[Kyle] In hindsight I would have booked it and I would have done everything my way. Yeah. But you know, it’s just one of those.
[Adam] Things you do still can you do.
[Kyle] But they’ve got to, I think they’ve got to look at us and go because this is why people aren’t using public transport. So I think there’s too many cars on the.
[Adam] Road at the moment.
[Kyle] Yeah, you know, if I still drive down a couple of you know, if you go down a few few lanes, even in Winchester, all, you know, even residential areas.
[Adam] Yeah.
[Kyle] I still must be at least 20, 30 cause all still parts in the parts of the borough and you got here with these people on even going to work or they have gone to work and haven’t taken their second or third car. Why do you need this Many cars.
[Adam] Have too many cars.
[Kyle] Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it’s I think it’s one of those things that needs to be addressed.
[Adam] I think though I think it and I, I was going to say, I wonder if people are holding on to them as a nostalgic thing or on the off chance that when everything’s electric they can have a nice classic car there. A Ford Mondeo is going to be considered a.
[Kyle] Classic in the future or the Renault Clio Sport.
[Review] Yeah, yeah.
[Kyle] I don’t know. It doesn’t, it doesn’t make sense. It’s.
[Adam] You know, the other side of that coin is that houses these days are being built with enough parking because they’re trying to cram so many houses into one plot because that’s where the money is. Yeah. They don’t build enough parking driveways. There’s nowhere for visitors on the new housing estates. You know, you find out, yeah, there’s visitor parking and it’s ridiculous.
[Kyle] But where we got was supposed to be visitor parking bays and whatever else. It’s mainly taken up by residents that live there as well. So yeah.
[Review] Yeah.
[Kyle] It’s, it’s one of those things when, when I’m prime Minister.
[Adam] Ran we were.
[Kyle] Yeah. But soon.
[Adam] Miserable guys ranting.
[Kyle] About that cars not enough parking.
[Adam] Too many cars on the road.
[Kyle] That in my day we had to walk through a.
[Review] Yeah.
[Kyle] But what what are your thoughts. I’m just going to go on it now. Yeah well if you’re going to continue the rents and whatever, I just like to get your thoughts on the access to high speed rail.
[Adam] Um, I don’t know enough about it. I think it’s a good idea. I think we need.
[Kyle] To train.
[Adam] Faster transport in this country.
[Kyle] But the question.
[Adam] Is why it London’s Manchester?
[Kyle] I think it’s going as far as I think it’s Glasgow or.
[Adam] Oh really.
[Kyle] Yeah. Things going as far as as far as efforts to connect us to the Northern Powerhouse. What are you laughing at?
[Adam] Nothing. Nothing. Okay. No. Yeah, but we’re soft in the South. Yeah. So it’s half nuts up north.
[Kyle] Exactly.
[Adam] Yeah, you’re right. Yeah.
[Kyle] I heard they don’t even sell coats up north.
[Adam] No, they don’t need them. Yeah, So.
[Kyle] Yeah, someone. Let’s go get em. Actually, yes, we can buy a coast in the West Coast.
[Adam] Yeah, but that’s how they are.
[Kyle] Yeah. I don’t know. I’ve never been, but I just, um. Yeah, I just kind of wonder what the point of all of this is now. Because if you’re going to get from London first of all, have to get to bloody London, which is going to take me a while.
[Adam] Do you think they should do it from Southampton to Glasgow.
[Kyle] Yeah. If they’re wanting, as long as they’re going to disrupt my life and to build it over somebody else’s home, it’s fine. Yeah, but no, on a serious note, I kind of wonder what’s what’s the point of all the high speed rail and travel if.
[Review] You.
[Adam] A sense.
[Kyle] Trying to be rude? Nobody. Why? What do you need to go up to Scotland for within an hour and a half?
[Adam] I suppose it’s for things like sports but it’s the people is part of it. Makes sense. But you can do you can do the length of the country in a day anyway. If you’ve got a solid vehicle.
[Kyle] But what’s so it’s just difference. But I remember when I used to go on holiday from Johannesburg to Durban, for example.
[Adam] Yeah.
[Kyle] That was a six hour drive.
[Review] Yeah.
[Kyle] So we used to go, yeah, we’re going on holiday.
[Adam] In the car.
[Kyle] Jump in the car and have to drive at least 6 hours just to get to our destination for holiday.
[Adam] But I bet the traffic wasn’t that bad.
[Kyle] Oh well, it depends. I mean, if you had to do it on your, like public holiday weekends or long weekends or during school holidays, that’s when it’s a completely different story. But one of the arguments is probably going to be a for business. And I just wonder, well, we’ve got all these other things now that we can do business with where you got your Skypes and your teams and yeah.
[Adam] Whatever else is true.
[Kyle] Do you really need to go to all these places or can you just talk to people on the phone?
[Adam] That’s got to be dependent upon the business itself, right?
[Kyle] Yeah. Sorry about the knocks on.
[Adam] Yeah. It’s going to be dependent on the business, I would have thought. Yeah, but it’s another option isn’t it. I think if I want to visit friend or a friend up in Edinburgh you know we wouldn’t be so bad of actually been up to visit him and I went on a I want to say 12 hour coach journey up there and that was not comfortable.
[Adam] Yeah, not comfortable at all.
[Kyle] So I’m the coach. Isn’t that for nothing. The longest time I’ve ever spent somewhere. Someone’s probably about 4 hours. That was God awful.
[Review] Yeah.
[Kyle] So, but then you’ve got those people that are doing coach trips around here.
[Review] Yeah.
[Kyle] No fun. Yes. For fun. I’m thinking. Hold on. All of you are sharing one toilets.
[Review] Yeah.
[Kyle] Yeah. I don’t know. I don’t know if these people do it.
[Adam] No.
[Kyle] I mean, if you they’re okay. Prices probably got lots to do with this.
