atmosphere or something exactly

5:16

exactly i didn't really have gin before

5:18

that and it's got really good

5:20

architecture

5:22

so my plan planner architecture i'm

5:24

really into

5:25

historic buildings good design

5:27

of gin

5:29

history and architecture but is it gin

5:31

made in winchester it's not but the

5:33

majority of bars

5:35

within winchester

5:37

are gin baseballs

5:39

right

5:40

as a person from swansea we didn't

5:42

really drink gin

5:44

moving there it became part of

5:46

probably my diet it's become part of my

5:48

diet in the end

5:50

theaters as well we've been obviously

5:52

there's no shows up there yeah the west

5:55

end yes theaters yeah yeah what have you

5:57

been to see in london god we've seen um

6:01

dirty dancing

6:04

what's the one with wicked yeah who's

6:07

the who's the singer

6:10

gloria rester fan story that was quite

6:12

good right yeah just all different

6:15

ranges if something catches our eye

6:17

where make the effort to go up there and

6:19

is that generally the area of london you

6:21

go to when you go to visit london

6:23

obviously it's an absolutely

6:24

ridiculously massive city to visit

6:26

do you spend most your time sort of that

6:27

west end yeah we do and mainly where

6:30

oxford street okay yeah yeah you're sort

6:33

of so friendly greenwich that we stay in

6:35

and then but we always go into the city

6:36

rather than

6:37

stay in greenwich it's got shops bars

6:40

restaurants

6:41

um it's got like really beautiful

6:44

architecture historical architecture

6:46

like the pavilion such an office

6:49

um pavilion it's got beautiful churches

6:51

got lovely walks you've got the south

6:54

downs you can go rambling if you enjoy a

6:57

bit of that you know

6:58

it's got everything deal is just it used

7:01

to be quite nondescript and

7:03

but now it reminds me of brighton maybe

7:05

as it was in the 90s little pop-up shops

7:08

um cafes

7:10

and it's just a little bit further from

7:12

london um so perhaps a bit more

7:15

difficult to set up than brighton was at

7:17

those times

7:18

yeah but it's got independent shops it's

7:20

got a charm

7:23

and it's quite small yeah so you can

7:26

you can just walk the high street quite

7:28

quickly really um and perhaps

7:31

well you can stop and make it last two

7:33

hours but if you walk quickly you can

7:34

walk it in ten minutes so

7:36

you can just pick and choose and go to

7:38

your favorite place they're just super

7:40

friendly and

7:41

really welcoming and we were just there

7:43

there was a pub we was in where there

7:45

was traditional irish music being played

7:46

and we were just sitting having a

7:48

guinness and a wine and suddenly these

7:50

ladies come over and get asked my wife

7:52

permission whether i could be dragged up

7:54

and uh that's like they could dance me

7:56

and stuff and that's doing the old irish

7:58

jig and everything yeah it's brilliant

8:00

oh wow that sounds brilliant what

8:02

great experience as you live there would

8:04

you describe yourself as i don't know

8:06

how do you describe people who are from

8:07

bath well i'm not from bath a bathroom

8:10

i'm from i'm from somerset

8:12

um

8:13

that we used to visit bath because it

8:15

was the nicest shopping area nearby for

8:17

christmas shopping i see so you're from

8:19

somerset and do you have any uh do you

8:22

have any character traits of someone

8:24

from somerset like an accent yes the

8:26

somerset accent is stronger on the r's

8:30

so you tend to use ours a lot

8:33

um

8:34

and there was one phrase which i

8:36

remember from my from my youth which is

8:38

a bigen which is a great big one so

8:42

again sorry a gert biggen

8:44

so they are in the wrong place yeah and

8:46

it's much stronger

8:49

and then from bristol in the bristol

8:51

area

8:52

they tend to put l's on the ends of

8:54

words so if you come from this ariel

8:58

wow very good

8:59
