<v Speaker 2>Whether you grew up in the eighties, nineties or whatever,

0:00:08.360 --> 0:00:11.240
<v Speaker 2>I think sometimes you had friends and you go around

0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:14.280
<v Speaker 2>their house after school and it was very clear in

0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 2>the things that they had, the lifestyle they had, the

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:19.480
<v Speaker 2>objects they had, that their parents have more money than

0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:21.880
<v Speaker 2>your parents growing them in the eighties For me, right,

0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Mum and dad working class people. They worked really hard.

0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Mum was a nurse and dad worked in a car factory.

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:28.680
<v Speaker 2>My friends, I didn't know at the time was something

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:31.160
<v Speaker 2>called middle class, but whenever I went around their houses,

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 2>it was like going into a different world. First one

0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:35.720
<v Speaker 2>was all I had for Syria in the morning, and

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:37.600
<v Speaker 2>I thought I was living like a king anyway.

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:38.600
<v Speaker 3>Was whetbigs me too?

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 4>Every morning weet Bigs I was.

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:41.599
<v Speaker 2>Had a tiny little sprinkling or sugar. Do you ever

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:43.559
<v Speaker 2>do that when Mum and dad won't look him? No?

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 4>I could only have sugar when I was at my

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:46.200
<v Speaker 4>men's house.

0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:47.360
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what we should do? A phone in

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 3>about what would nan and what would you nan? Let

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:49.959
<v Speaker 3>you do? It's always Nan.

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 2>My nan ran a very my Irish Nan again out

0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 2>very loose with the rules.

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, oh Christmas.

0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 2>And I used to go around to see a Christmas

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 2>time and that would let me have, even teenage, just

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 2>a little nip of sherry from her drink's cabinet.

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 3>She would always go with a wink. Don't tell you

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:05.840
<v Speaker 3>mom and dad about this.

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.320
<v Speaker 4>Remember sugar cubes would let me eat sugar cubes. They're

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:10.120
<v Speaker 4>a pack of chips.

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 3>How do we not have type two diabetes?

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, yeah, my friends though, they had something called

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 2>musely and I was like what is this. You were, Oh,

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 2>don't you have wheat bits? And they were like, oh god, no,

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 2>we have muse And I was like wow. And the

0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 2>other thing was it's about the phone in the eighties

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.039
<v Speaker 2>and fighting over the phone because it was like tethered

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:33.959
<v Speaker 2>to the land. It was actually called a land line,

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, to speak to peoleback in the eighties, our

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 2>voices went through a line into dirt and mud and

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.760
<v Speaker 2>then up a line into their house and into their ears.

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.040
<v Speaker 2>Still it was called the land line, and you you

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 2>would have lots of arguments if you had a girlfriend anything.

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Your sister might be fighting on the phone chat to

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 2>her mates, like god, mom, tell us my turn, and

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.440
<v Speaker 2>then your mom wants to speak to one of her sisters.

0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:59.000

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 2>friends of mine had see the cordless phone and I

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:03.200

<v Speaker 2>And did you have to Someone would have to be

0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:59.480
<v Speaker 2>told to go and change the channel. You'd have to

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.840

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.400
