Stace DonGUEST
I knew that from the minute I stepped off that coach in London, Victoria.
Stace DonGUEST
And then we had to get the underground tubes to Southend-on-Sea, because that's where they lived.
Stace DonGUEST
And then we got off the tubes, but in all that time, he didn't say one word to me.
Stace DonGUEST
Like, not one word.
Catherine Anne DaviesGUEST
Get it in your diary.
Daryl EasleaHOST
You're not coming down to Southend-on-Sea by any chance?
Catherine Anne DaviesGUEST
I'm not leaving the house for the next two months because, as I say, I've got this new studio deadline.
Daryl EasleaHOST
Yeah.
Ricky McAulayGUEST
Particularly if you spend too much time in a head office, that is a major risk that you lose touch with just reality and what's the temperature and how people are.
Ricky McAulayGUEST
how people are feeling and just this week I've been out in a big delivery office out in Southend down in England I'm trying to get into a unit every week and that's just walking the floor speaking to the people so there's some sense of checking what we're talking about when you're sitting in a head office meeting again that's just not the reality or it is the reality and we're making progress I think you know we've got we've got an opportunity now as we go through this big transformation which is the change to the universal service or rather than letters six days a week the bulk of letters will be Monday Wednesday Friday one week next week Tuesday Thursday that's a massive reset
Gayle LloydHOST
Is that a complete reset for you guys? It is
Ricky McAulayGUEST
and we've got to take it as the opportunity to get pride back into the people that are out there every day because I mean they're an incredible job during the pandemic where parcel volumes surged massively in every part of the world letter volumes being in terminal decline, 6, 7, 8%, sometimes 10% a year.
Alex DykePANELIST
a nature reserve.
Alex DykePANELIST
I think it was called Two Tree Island in Southend-on-Sea.
Alex DykePANELIST
Apparently locals have now called it One Carrot Island.
Alex DykePANELIST
And this lady was taking her dog for a walk and she saw this guy and she looked at him and then she looked away and he dropped his trousers, he took out a carrot and I'll leave the rest to Phil's imagination.

Anita PradhanGUEST
And they'd go out and be like, how old is she? And I looked younger than what I was, and that was not great for me.
Anita PradhanGUEST
But I did have that here as well.
Anita PradhanGUEST
When I started in Southend-on-Sea, I remember my nurse, who was also the receptionist, used to say that, oh, the patient, they looked happy inside, but outside they were asking me how old you are and do you have any experience? I'm like, I'm not that young.

John GaganHOST
So what's been happening?
Alex KingGUEST
First up, Southend-on-Sea City Council's planning committee has refused permission for a 2,000-home scheme on Greenbelt land against the advice of the authority's planning officers on the grounds that it would be inappropriate development.
Alex KingGUEST
In other news, an inspector has ordered Warwick District Council to pay a developer's partial appeal costs after allowing plans to build 140 homes on safeguarded land that were refused against officer advice, finding that the authority's planning committee had provided limited reasoning and failed to explain how or why the proposal would prejudice safeguarded land.
Ingram NobleHOST
You mentioned it slightly there that you went to study down in London at East 15.

Graham BoozyHOST
Hello, welcome to Saturday Service, a podcast all about faith and football with me, Graham Boozy, in association with the Lifestreams Churches here in Southend-on-Sea, England.
Graham BoozyHOST
And today I'm delighted to be joined by Mr. Owen Hughes.
Graham BoozyHOST

Charlie HoodGUEST

41 MINS LATER
Charlie HoodGUEST
Um, but then, you know, going back to the sort of skateboarding analogy of kind of like having a kind of understanding of football and, you know, as we travel around and, you know, hopefully visit more grounds together and things like that and, and see how kind of exciting the game can be at kind of lower and, and, and grassroots levels, you know.
Charlie HoodGUEST
Um, and, you know, play- I think playing for a club is a, is, is, is a really important way of kind of having that kind of broader understanding of not just like the Premier League isn't, isn't the be-all and end-all, you know.
Charlie HoodGUEST
Uh, I wrote a piece in, in, in, in, in our newsletter last week about my experience playing for a, playing for my old, old team in Southend as a kid, you know.
Charlie HoodGUEST
Um, and I think that, that, that, that, that gives you a really nice kind of, um, kind of, um, context for the game, you know, um, and how it's sort of played so broadly and, you know, you can sort of strike up a conversation with anyone, can't you, if you're, if you're, if you're both football fans or you're both wearing shirts and you've got a, a deeper, uh, uh, not deeper understanding, um, I don't want to sort of discredit anyone who do follow this kind of Premier League football or anything, but, you know, I think it's a, it's a nice icebreaker, isn't it?
