Speaker 2: after and all that excitement and they will just sort
Speaker 2: of collapse. I had to almost get out the car
Speaker 2: and just pick her up and just she just flopped
Speaker 2: into the car and I was doing that normal thing
Speaker 2: that we've been doing for years.

Speaker 3: things that we made at school. Do you remember this?
Speaker 2: In that woodwork or metal work or art you had
Speaker 2: to make something, Patsy, what was.

Speaker 6: And it's got like a ditch in the middle of
Speaker 6: it because I've used it so much and we even
Speaker 6: had Did they call all of them? I can't remember.

Speaker 6: it the soldering iron that you could put shapes and
Speaker 6: patterns and you know, put your name Petrina Jones seven
Speaker 6: on the back of.
Speaker 2: It was like a light clos as I got to
Speaker 2: handling a lightsaber. That was great fun. I made in
Speaker 2: metalwork and woodwork, and we had to make our parents say,
Speaker 2: I mean, I went to quite a rough state school,
Speaker 2: but they made us make a brass letter opener that
Speaker 2: main mine basically got something of a prison movie.
Speaker 3: It's more like a ship right protection from the school yard.
Speaker 2: Shaft my way home from the kids, and a wooden
Speaker 2: letter rack like my parents would want to fire all
Speaker 2: those builds mounting up that they couldn't afford. So I
Speaker 2: made a brass letter opener, slash ship and a wooden
Speaker 2: letter rack.
Speaker 3: What did you make? Yeh?
Speaker 5: Both of yours are way better than mine. I made
Speaker 5: the very difficult.
Speaker 3: To make, not the paperweight on Father's Day.
Speaker 5: One step up from the paperweight is the pen holder
Speaker 5: out of clay, which is essentially if you can't do
Speaker 5: a mug with a handle, do a handleless smug and
Speaker 5: they can be a penhole.
