20
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 4: Yeah. Honestly, it was about two hours stay growing.

21
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 2: In cooking like a three cross banquet with these fable pans.

22
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 5: It was amazing.

23
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 4: But I tell you what, we we didn't think, you know,

24
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 4: we couldn't afford these back then. It was like late eighties.

25
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 4: We just started out and anyway, he convinced us. We

26
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 4: just signed the dotted line honestly to get him out

27
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 4: of the house. We didn't think we'd get the loan

28
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 4: because we think they them that way.

29
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 2: Were basically the only way that we're going to leave

30
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: your house was you to sign and really dodgy paperwork

31
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: harder than getting divorced those people.

32
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, but we didn't think we'd get the loans, but

33
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 4: we did, and it took us bloody four years to

34
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 4: paint home shops.

35
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: Isn't this ridiculous? It's not been on counterfair. You can't

36
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: be mind pots and off four years?

37
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 3: How much were the pots and pans?

38
00:01:51,880 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 4: Two and a half? Then it's a moral We got

39
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 4: a free set and nized set. I think it was

40
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 4: an egg poacher, an electric oil filled fry pan. And

41
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what. You just went on and on.

Speaker 6: a week because it was this ridiculously expensive.

156
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: A friend of mine used to have a job selling them,

157
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 2: and it was like they turn up with all this

158
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 2: mud and they shake it onto your carpet and they go,

159

Speaker 2: come and get me your hoover, all right, and they go, well,

160
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,400
