Shoreham-by-Sea

going to where old people go on Saturday.

No, is it Saturday? Yeah, Shoreham.

Wait a minute.

Just stick with my shoelaces, OK? Why are they crucial? Because they're a cellular buffer.

Friday evening, I'm in Maidstone in Kent, 7.30, being interviewed by our mutual friend, Dr. Sian Williams.

I like her.

And then on Saturday at 2pm, I'm in Shoreham in West Sussex, where I'm being interviewed by Yasmin Alibai-Brown.

Okay, great.

Matt had been killed during the height of the coronavirus restrictions being in place.

under the motorway, aren't you?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, a lot more open.

The Shoreham by Sea's a bit more open, but it does start and finish under a road, a, a, a motorway-esque level of motor- motoridge.
