2:17

It was ages ago, Beth! Before the internet was invented.

2:17

OK!

2:18

And what jobs did you do when you were a student?

2:22

So when I was a student, I worked in a hotel.

2:26

I worked in restaurants as a waiter.

2:29

I worked in a fish and chip shop.

2:30

— Did you? — Yeah!

2:32

How long did you work in a fish and chip shop for?

2:34

I worked in a fish and chip shop for a summer.

2:39

And how about you, Beth? When did you start working at the BBC?

2:46

I have worked here for around three years.

2:51

So I've been here since 2021,

2:56

but I've been working in London for six years,

3:01

cos I've been here since 2018.

3:05

So, Beth, you said that you have worked at the BBC since 2021.

3:11

Since, what does it mean when we use since?

3:15

Well, we use 'since' followed by a date or a point in time

3:21

and we use it to talk about when something started.

3:26

But also it's something that is still true.
