1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:00,880
Speaker 1: Quest.

2
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: Patsy's been having some trouble this week with her lot Ordie,

4
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: who's doing the dreaded times table. Do you remember how

5
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: much pressure you had to get that right? We used

6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: to just give me sleepless nights about worrying about trying

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: to revise and learn my seven times table and the

8
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: eight times table. Fact, let's do a spot test now,

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: were Jack and Pats eight times three?

10
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 3: Jack Post twenty four? Well done?

11
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: Oh that's an easy one.

12
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 3: Okay, eleven times seven, Pats seventy seven.

13
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: The everone knows I always found the seven and the

14
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: eighths the hardest. The other one was that the tens

15
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: and the fives were the easiest, and the two times table.

16
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: All right, Patsy seven times.

17
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 3: Seven seven, seven's four forty nine. That's slow, Jack Post

18
00:00:51,200 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 3: nine times eight. This is not sixty.

19
00:00:59,320 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: Your work quick.

20
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 3: You can work back with six fifty four.

21
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes I get embarrassed by just how low the bar

22
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: is to do what you did sixty four.

23
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 3: All I can understand why Aldie was getting tense with you.

24
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:10,760

33
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: Say I'm a carpenter, right, Okay, as a kid, you'd

34

36
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: Well we actually did do that. You don't really brain

37
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 3: in this job.

38
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: You just sort of sit here and mumble press play

39
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: and the songs playing, and that's it. Rinch repeat a carpenter.

40
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: So how about the times table them? Because obviously understand

41
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: you measuring the angles and measure twice cut once, but

42
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: the times table when is seven times seven coming into

43
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: making a door?

44
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: Well, not so much as the door. When you're ordering

45
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: the curials, you' gott to work at your square meterie,

46
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: so you have the time to link by the hide

47
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: or the hight by the width, and that gives you

48
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: your quantities total, and then you're going to try and

49
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: order from that.

50
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: Do you know if I spent an hour trying to

51
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: do what you do, so goodness would ruin your business?

52
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: Within the hour, the so called doors turning up they

53
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: were oblong or.

54
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,480

Speaker 2: Andrew, I wouldn't say that most of it. I do

68
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: double check. That's if we get it wrong, we get

69
00:02:59,000 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: it wrong.

70
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 3: All right, carpentry, bacers.

71
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: Quite a few trades so far, work worked out still

72
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: using the times table, ben times table.

73
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 3: First of all, what's your trade? What do you do

74
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 3: for living? Mate?

75
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 4: Working? Florestry?

76
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: Forestry? What's that going to do with the times table?

77
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 4: So we get there, deliveries of flowers and the tubs

78
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 4: come in or generally with four bunches of flowers in

79
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 4: each tub. So as an example, yesterday we received eighty tubs.

80
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 4: Eighty tubs times four, that's threads and twenty flowers or

81
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 4: bunches of flowers.

82
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 3: And we'll have to take your word for that.

83
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: Is that what you're doing all day then is the

84
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: various flowers and you're giving up all the bunches. You've

85
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: got to do the maths in your head, yep.

86
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 4: So they've got to obviously double check that what they've

87
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 4: ordered has come in. So even though in that eighty

88
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 4: bunch you might have five red, forty white, you'll have

89
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 4: twenty tubs of pink and then maybe fifteen types of purple.
