Hello, I'm Carriad.
I'm Sarah.
And we are the Weirdo's Book Club podcast.
We are doing a very special live show as part of the London Podcast Festival.
The date is Thursday, 11th of September.
The time is 7pm and our special guest is the brilliant Alan Davies.
Tickets from kingsplace.com.
Single ladies, it's coming to London.
True on Saturday, the 13th of September.
At the London Podcast Festival.
The rumours are true, Saturday the 13th of September.
At King's Place.
Oh, that sounds like a date to me, Harriet.
Have a holiday with us, but also staying in the UK, because that's what is at the time of recording legal. I'm Stevie. I'm Tessa.
Come on in. It's a holidaying in the UK episode. Is it called a staycation? We will unpack that linguistic problem that everyone seems very upset about. People feel very angry about it. People are very upset. If you're new to the podcast, nobody panic is about basically each week we help.
you and ourselves, but mainly ourselves, how to sort of do stuff, just do loads of things.
And this was a suggestion from a listener called Katie, who Twitter DM does, who says,
hello, absolutely love the pod on this every week. Thank you very much, Katie. Did she say that?
You'll never know. Maybe I just made that up. No, she did say that. My best friend and I
were supposed to go on holiday in 2020, but for obvious reasons that did not happen. What reasons,
Katie? Be more specific. We've postponed until this summer, the Eiff, our Lord 2020.
anyone, hoping to get to Europe, but it's looking unlikely, isn't it? This was a while back.
I was wondering if you could do an episode on how to stay Kate in the UK. I, for one,
would be listening with an open note pad. Cheers, Katie.
Notepads at the ready. The beginning of every episode, before we get into the topic,
which is how to stay Kate in the UK. Before we do that, we like to tell each other an adult
thing that we've done in the week to make ourselves feel like a grown-up. Tessa, like, what's
your adult, like, thing like? Well, is yours going to be?
about your hair and your new fringe.
Oh, no.
So this is the fringe that I cut in lockdown.
Yeah.
So those following Stevie's hair journey and if you follow her Instagram,
Stevie's cut her own fringe, listen, power to her, but listen, it looks like,
well, it looks like a different time and a different gender.
Well, this is a professionally cut fringe.
That's what I'm saying is now looking at you through the screen, wow, breathtaking.
Oh, right, thank you.
Yes.
I went to get it tidied by a hairdresser when it.
the hairdressing salons opened because while it was better, it was still diagonal.
And I think that's something that you don't want your fringe to be.
I called up when the hairdress has opened and they just laughed at me down the phone.
They were like, no, of course we don't have any space.
We're booked up for my, and I was like, oh, okay.
Back to doing it myself then.
No, that's not my adult thing.
I just needed to comment on you looking breathtaking.
But mine is that, and I'm sorry everyone I've been harping on about my journey with the IRS for
So long. The IRS is the Internal Revenue Service and it is the tax branch of its HMRC in America.
And obviously as a non-American citizen, it has been a number of hoopholes.
That's what they call in loopholes in America. That's famously.
IRS hoophole. Those IRS hoopoles had to apply for this like international tax number or whatever that's taken so long.
Companies charge you $600 to do it for you because they make everything so complicated.
that you're like, I can't, I can't do this.
And then because I obviously had so much time on my hands in lockdown,
I was like, I actually think I can do this myself,
which seems like a not good idea.
But yesterday, my thing arrived in the post.
I did it.
I did it, Stevie.
This is great.
Because when I posted off, I thought, oh, that's not going to work, is it?
And then I'll have to pay the £600.
I did it.
And I feel buzzing.
Mine is that I've started wearing SPF every day.
Oh, that's so good.
My problem is, is that I'm allergic.
I've got very, very sensitive skin.
So I'm allergic to SPF.
So it makes my face blow up like a bowling ball.
But I'm like, oh, that versus cancer and premature aging.
I mean, I've started too late.
Certainly.
You're supposed to start doing it when you're like, you know, born.
So if anyone listening, or indeed, if there's any SPF listening that is for sensitive skin,
I've tried like three different ones.
And each time it's like, oh, this will be the one.
No, no.
I bought one that was so expensive, I felt sick, but I was like, it's a big, it's a big old bottle.
And when it arrived, I cried.
Is it working?
No, it makes my eyes blow up.
Please, tweet us at Nobody Panic Pod or find me on social media at StevieM, the S as a 5.
And just, just tell me if you've found some SPF that doesn't make your face blow up.
I'd just, I would love that.
Listen, where are you going to use that SPF?
You're going to use it on your holiday.
On my face, on my holiday.
and the times they are changing, Tessa, and you might be listening to this and the laws and the rules are completely different.
But this will be helpful, I think, regardless of whether it's coronavirus or not, because people will be going on staycations in it all the time.
But before we even get into the staycation, there is a linguistic problem and I know Tessa is that that is your bag, baby.
I do love a linguistic problem. So I see a lot of people arguing about what the concept of a staycation is.
and people being very upset about it.
I've just seen more than one person, right,
this is the hill I will die on.
And I'm like, I pick another hill, pal.
You know, like, there's other stuff out there.
So they say that a staycation is when you do not leave your house.
You have a holiday in your home.
It says, like, brackets, like, in your pool.
You're like, in your pool?
What are you talking about?
He's got a pool.
Or visiting local attractions in your area,
as though you were a tourist in your local town.
But that requires you to live in somewhere
that's a place that is attractive enough
to have visitor attractions.
Exactly, exactly, and have day trips.
But if I may, if anyone who's like,
no, I think it should be this.
This is what the Oxford Dictionary calls it,
a holiday spent in one's home country rather than abroad
or one spent at home
and involving day trips to local attractions.
Literally, both of you are correct.
So everybody is correct.
And we will be covering both versions
of it. So obviously people are talking about it a lot now because of the fact that we can't really
go abroad at the time of recording. But I used to do staycations when I sort of just didn't have
any money. But then now I'm thinking about it, yeah, I could never afford to go anywhere in
England because it's very expensive. For example, when we moved to London, I would take a week
off work and just like when I had a job and would just do things like see my friends who were
self-employed and like plan the week and like just go to some free museums.
A staycation.
That was, I have to say it was really nice.
But it does work if you are in a place and you live in a place that has lots of interesting
things to do.
But even if you don't, nearby there will be somewhere.
Like you can get to somewhere that is nice, Rod, and you don't have to stay overnight.
The fun thing about this daycation thing, and I don't feel that this new energy of like,
oh, we all have to stay in the UK is coming with like, oh, I think it's coming with like,
hey, there's so much stuff here in our own country that we could do.
Like, we've got cool stuff.
I think which is absolutely should be the energy to be like,
how much stuff is that on our doorstep that we've never explored?
Like, we're literally an island.
I know we don't have good weather and that's why.
But like, there are so many countries that say like, for example,
like you might live in an area of California that's like way inland.
And you might very positively say like, it's only two hours from the beach.
And that would be a genuine statement.
And most of us, no matter where you live in England,
are probably not that far from the beach.
Yeah.
Like maybe it's not a great beach, maybe, but like you can get to the water.
Go to that shithole beach.
We can get to the water so quickly.
Like if you just set off at 7 a.m.
Like on the train, on the car, whatever.
Like, isn't that wild that we aren't more of like a beach community that we aren't
better at being like, get in the car, we're going to the beach?
Yeah, I think it's obviously there's a lot of like, oh, but you know, it's a purple beach
or like, oh, it's cold.
And I think it is just that, yeah, but also have some fun.
Come on.
Have some fun, mate.
Come on.
Yeah, I think it's like things have shifted from being like, oh my God, a horrible UK holiday to being like a UK holiday.
Like let's hit let's go.
Like let's do it.
There is a price issue though that a lot of the beautiful, especially beautiful places in England not only are expensive to stay in anyway, but they have hiked their prices are absolutely just out of the price range of most people.
For example, there are places that you wouldn't think of that could also just really do with the revenue.
like in places in like the northeast for example where it's an overall slightly poorer area of the UK.
And it's got loads of beautiful walks like County Durham is beautiful and like loads of beaches.
And yes, some places that aren't nice, but there are some places that aren't nice everywhere.
And I think it's about exploring and really, but you're going to have to do some proper digging because obviously a lot of the places are now booked.
So that's a problem as well.
also as well doing digging to see that I don't know this sounds really like oh yeah but like
you'll be surprised at how many friends you have who's like auntie has a caravan in wales
put out a status on Facebook if you're on Facebook or like on Twitter's basically try and look to
see if anyone that you know has somewhere that you can sit because then they might give you
mates rates or they might and then you can be like oh that I don't know anyone but it could end
of being like your cousin's best friend's partner or whatever and amazing that's the ideal if you
can't find somewhere yeah i think it's that isn't it of like putting your nose to the ground and like
getting the word out about where you're going and and also like those exactly those areas that you're
saying like i think about uk holiday we say you know the the the cotswold the late district
dirtledore dorset cornwall like your classics but if actually you go in a different direction and
you go for like the northeast durham my grandparents live in north wales and nicolwyn bay and the
whole of the strip along Colwyn Bay is all just like Victorian hotel fronts that are basically
either now like boarded up or converted or and that happened like I mean slightly out of our lifetime
Steve because we're so young so youthful but like in the last 40 50 years that was when like suddenly
package holidays took off but until that point everybody went to holiday in the UK that's where
you went for a week to the to the seaside and so like places like you know north Wales have still got like
outrageously cheap hotels and things and caravan parks and stuff because
They are a dedicated holiday industry that then completely, you know, they still got all the
infrastructure there, but nobody coming. And so like there is, there is the stuff that if you just
go for the things that are, that don't normally make the like, you know, if you Google's
vacations in the UK, the number, the first here is like 50 places to go with Harper's Bazaar.
And the first thing is like, the St. James Hotel in Trafalgar Square, 500 pounds a night,
minimum stay, three nights. You're like, okay. Okay. No. Okay. Or we could go on a train and go and
head in a totally different direction and go somewhere you've never been before or exactly
like you're saying, be like, oh, doesn't Jeremy's aunt live somewhere near there? And could we
camp in her garden or could we do this or could we do, just don't ask her permission, just turn
up. Don't ask her, just rock up. Like, just, you know, like, fight you if you don't let us camp on
the lawn. And also, like, people have been so lonely and so, like, desperate for company that people
will be like, yeah, I would honestly at this point have the most loosely, tenuously related person
could come and stay, I'd be like, please, come in.
It'll be a delight. It'll be a delight.
Even if you're something where I live is awful.
Check to see if there are any cool, like, cycling routes that take you interesting places.
You can hire bikes as well.
You don't have to buy bikes often.
Brilliant.
It's a great way of saying that.
Thank you so much.
Rollerblading as well.
You can ride.
Also, as well, there are so many in those little towns, especially where I'm from in the north,
there are so many really fun museums.
So for example, like where I'm from, there is the Salt Museum and the Cuckoo Clock Museum, both mad, but a lot of fun.
Nearby, I think there's a museum about pencils somewhere.
Great, great stuff.
Like, it's quite fun to look at your own county that's like spread out to county rather than just town.
I guess it's literally nothing in your time.
But look at your own county as if you were a tourist.
Like, go to like the best pub and order their special.
Like all those little things.
And you're just like, this is silly.
but it is you know take a week off work and just have a little explore around they will see because you have got
even if you're like I'm from a crap place like you have got an attraction or a thing or like and maybe you're
like I've been to it every weekend since I was 14 you're like fine get on the bicycle I'm the attraction I am the attraction
get on the bicycle and go further a field like go out and push yourself all like and you know put get a tent go go further
you know the things that you can do on the real on the real cheat I think exactly what you're saying it's like it is silly
and I think once you accept that it's silly then you're like okay now there's no
holds bard. In our first year at university, I remember, a university to me was just like a constant
surprise of people doing stuff that I was like, oh, is that what we're doing? Like, basically we got
there. It felt like everybody had like an older sibling who would like sort of told them exactly
what to do. So everyone knew how to do stuff. And then like, we'd only been there a month.
And they were like, what have you got your accommodation sorted for next year? And you're like,
what? Is that what we're supposed to be doing now? So it was constantly like that. And then it got
to the summer term and suddenly, and I thought there was going to be like all this sort of fun stuff
happening in the university after the sort of exams. And instead, everybody like went off on
holidays. And I remember being like, oh, God. And so there was a whole like gang of us left behind
who hadn't either thought through ahead or like weren't part of the going on holiday group.
And we wanted, we did it. We had this idea of being like, okay, we're going to get up at 4 a.m.
Pack our bags. Me in the hall. We all lived in halls. So like our rooms were. We all lived in halls. So like our rooms
we're all there. We're going to meet there. We're going to like do a block, do a lap of the,
it was on foot while all shouting at each other that were late. And we're going to come back in.
Then one of us was going to be like at the desk in reception and like take our passports and then give
each other the key, other keys to different rooms. So we like had a different room to stay in and
you were supposed to like decorate your room and like put out towels and like make it look like a
hotel and then like go to each other's rooms. And then like we were going to meet up and like exactly
that. Do all the stuff in the town.
that we just were like going to go to all the different restaurants from different countries
and like go pretend we were in Italy and go to an Italian restaurant or you know,
we're going to go to Pizza Express and commit that it was an Italian restaurant or whatever that we were
in Italy like pretend we didn't know how the money worked. Like it is possible to make something
very silly and fun and commit like the part of the holiday stuff is all about the excitement
and the newness of it. So just it's about like what can you make that's new that you've never
experienced before? Like what change of scene can you do?
There were lots of walks around where we went to uni, and it was like, but I never did them.
But then someone was like, oh yeah, I used to go for walks.
Like every time there was a kind of reading week or whatever, I'd go for these walks.
And I'd be like, oh, God, that's all like, they'd go and stay in one of the, like, an Airbnb.
And it was like, this is so, why did I think to do any of that?
But you just don't because you're like, it just looks like your town.
So you just bored of everything.
Exactly.
And I think it's about like, get on your internet.
Like, look out what your secret things are.
Get on your internet.
Get on your internet.
find your local stuff.
Be like, oh my God, there's this thing.
And maybe in a different life, you'd be like, that doesn't sound very fun or cool,
like going to the local like Pilchard Museum or whatever.
Are you kidding?
I'm there.
Hello, a couple of tinnies.
A walk to the Pilcher Museum.
What a great day out.
Like, I think as long as you commit to everything with this like, yeah, it's not, it's not.
Here she goes.
Attempting to name a club in Ibiza.
It's not.
Wow.
Pascal?
I've never been.
So I can't tell you.
It's not one of the world famous Pascal in Ibiza,
but it's the trip to the Pilcham Museum.
But if you're with fun people and you're making it fun
and you've committed to the silliness of it,
then it's a great, funny day out.
If you're not nature's organiser,
if you're not nature's, like, we're doing this now.
Like, I think now is the summer to take it on board to be like,
if no one's inviting you somewhere,
or, you know, you be like, okay, I'm going to organise the trip.
I'm organizing the group thing.
And even if that's like we're organizing going to thought park,
it's like, okay, everyone come and stay at my house,
beforehand and we'll get up too early and we'll go and we'll get a minibus and we'll like we'll just
it's all about like we'll commit and I think like I always think about this really fun friend of a
friend who once came on this group holiday who just absolutely even though she didn't know that many
people like just committed out and out to being the funnest member of the group and basically she was
like she just admitted that her secret dream was to be a butlin's rep and so like when we went out
she was just the organiser and was like giving people wristbands that she'd made out of paper and like
It was so dumb, and I think you've just got to be that person.
There are some things that I've found just to be helpful if you are going, like pricing
up accommodation, for example, there are good questions to ask.
For example, those like hidden costs that always add up that especially now,
God bless everybody who runs venues or accommodations for the holidays, but they need as much
money as you as possible.
So do ask things like, oh, do we have to pay extra for bedding?
is Wi-Fi included and we need to pay a security deposit, things like that.
Really, like, read all the small print because if someone's going to charge your extra
batting, it's going to be now because everyone's like, please, Mom, we need as much money as possible.
And check what time the, like, checkout is.
And, like, if it's at 8 a.m. because they need five hours to, like, clean the room before the next people
coming in, like, that's not a holiday, you know, like, look at all those small,
and also be really aware of like is it just a cottage in the middle of nowhere and are you
completely on your own and you can just like party down or are you actually in a communal block
and the people who own it are like in the flat next door and will like knock on the door when
you're making too much noise. If it says like family camping, don't be like, okay, well,
we're still fun. I bet it's still like somebody will come and shush you at as soon as the sun goes down.
7pm. Like just be really, really, really read the reviews, really, really read everything.
Don't just look at the first picture and be like, oh, that looks fun. Like really, really look at it.
Before you book anywhere, check for voucher codes as well, because there's loads.
So netvouchecodes.comcode at UK is a really good one just to see.
And also, I didn't realise this, but a lot of the tips of things, like, if you've got loads of air miles,
you can be like, okay, fine.
But do check with things like nectar points and Tesco Clubcard because they, I have one.
And I just don't ever look at it.
I'll just get some vouchers that'll be like, these chopped tomatoes are now 2P.
And I'm like, great.
But there's actually loads of other stuff on there.
So you could actually, you can use them and translate them into holiday points.
I don't know what the actual technology is.
So Tesco's club card, if you have one of those, it equates to, it's pound for pound, your club card
points.
But it is, so if you spend them in store, you have two pounds of club card points, you get two pounds
in store.
If you, however, translate them into red letter days or experiences or stuff, you can get
between three and five times your club card points.
So always get the stuff.
Are you sponsored by Tesco?
I just really love a Tesco's.
club card. We just got so much. My mum is always telling people that, you know, wherever she goes,
because she's like, everyone I meet just spends their club card points in store. But she's like,
no, no, no, you've got to get the red letter days. I think it's that sort of thing of like,
if you, if they weren't vouchers for it, you might never go Zorbing. So if you go on the Tesco's
club card and see what's available there, you might be like, yeah, I've never got in a hot air balloon
or done those things. I would just never think, I would honestly never think to even just
just refer to my club card when I'm booking holiday ever. So it's really good. I must. Always check what
Tesco's has to say. All same, Bruce. Well, I commit to Tesco's because it's sort of an abbreviation
of my name. Tessa. Coats. Coes. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, got it. I understand that now. I told people I was
the air. Oh, because that's how it works. When you're eight, yeah, you don't know how anything
works. Many people turn their, turn their nose up at self-catering. I prefer it because it's the most
fun, I think. And also, we always just set self-gatering things when I was growing up on
on holidays. But self-gatering is usually cheaper, pretty much always cheaper. Also, as well,
that means it's B-Y-O-B. That means that your money goes on things like petrol and like day trips
and also, it's the most fun going to the big Tesco, the big Santerbury, and getting all your
stuff in for your holiday. Like, what are you going to plan your meals? What are you going to eat?
What are you going to do? Like, essentially, what happens is you arrive and, and, you're
you've only bought vodka crisps and an eye-watering variety of dips.
So keep an eye up for that and actually do get actual things.
Check, obviously, that you have all the facilities and stuff, which you will do if it's a self-catering Airbnb or so.
But like, really lean into that because if you're trying to kind of save money, because also, like, picnics and stuff like that.
It's great.
Even when it's raining, it's a lot of fun.
Have a car boot picnic.
I love a car boot picnic.
Yeah, assume for bad weather.
and then you will only be surprised.
If your plan is just like to go to the beach and sunbathe every day,
it will be a disaster of a holiday.
If your plan is to have like carbou picnics and go to the Pilchers Museum
and like do this walk and do these things that you expect it to be raining,
then you can be like, abandoned ship on the Pilchers Museum.
We're going to the beach, baby.
I just never thought we'd ever do a podcast episode
where the word Pilchards Museum would have come up so much.
I just remember.
I remember finding a leaflet to the Pilchers Museum and being obsessed with it
and wanting to go to the Pilchers Museum every day.
and then I walked there.
It was shut.
So the Pilchers Museum has been a, it's my unfinished business, you know?
Oh yeah.
Well, look, I for one hope that you get to stay Kate near the Pilchards Museum
so you can finally see them goddamn old Pilchards.
Basically, just take yourself on a brown sign tour of the UK.
You know when you pass the brown signs on the Midway?
And you're like, yeah.
Yeah, what is that?
Oldest Leopard enclosure.
Classic UK-based museum.
Not one.
Like you see like an old like Coliseum picture or like there's we just got so much stuff and we don't go there
and not like not the stonehenges like everyone like no no everyone's going to go there if like this is
not the time to do the famous stuff. Now is the time for the weirdest. Yeah say yourself
challenge but like what is the weirdest thing we can go to and like learn about and like go on
the tour of and like it's supporting small businesses as well because you can guarantee that the
Pilchid Museum is not like caffeine. It's on its knees. You've got to get to the
Filtured Museum.
Yeah, exactly that being like,
what's the weirdest, funnest, dumbest thing we can do?
Not the classic stuff,
because the classic stuff will be inundated.
Boring.
Yeah, like, last thing to say about just, like, finding me being like,
make it fun, be like, make sure your group is fun.
And, like, up, you know, everyone's on board with the funness.
And if you're like, I don't know who do it.
But, like, there will be people who want to go on, you know,
you've got to be the organiser of the trip,
so you get to say who the funnest group is, you know?
Also, now is not the time when we are,
as we did that episode recently about reentering society.
after a pandemic land, now is not the time to be like,
oh, I guess I should go on holiday with that person.
You will not be able to cope with socialising
with somebody that you are not 100% comfortable with.
Just pick your best people.
Best people only.
That has to be the rule and that's okay.
And if someone's like, can I bring my partner
and everyone hates the partner, unfortunately,
there are no plus ones at this journey.
Yeah, just like because of the numbers,
I mean, it's the perfect time being like,
oh, her hands are tied by the law.
Boris actually says your partner,
Mark Carp as we hate him.
Or you could just say like, oh, it's been so long since he's all like clung out as
mates.
Exactly.
Stevie calls me up on exactly the right thing, which is like, if you blame an outside
force, the outside force will change the rule at the last minute and they'll be like,
oh, great, we can do it or whatever.
Be honest and so we just got advice to something.
My friend last night on a big WhatsApp thread was like, do we all want to go to this
thing?
And a friend of mine was like, no, I don't.
I don't want to go.
And speaking to her afterwards
And she was like, a year ago, I would 100% have
blamed work or said, like, I've got to be at this
or I can't get the time off or anything.
And she's like, my truth is, I don't want to.
And you're like, yes, that's it.
And so you don't have to say, I don't want your partner to come.
But you can say, it would be so fun if it was just a,
or it was a just lad's trip or if it was just this
or like if it was just school people or whatever your group is, you know.
Just school people, please.
School children.
School children.
School children.
I just mean like, whatever.
you,
whatever binds you of like,
it was very clear what you're like.
Okay, great.
Yeah.
Don't worry.
You know,
just school children allowed so I won't be going either.
I don't know why I'm organising this.
I just want to give back to the,
get the children into the Pilchers Museum.
That's my only focus.
So like,
yeah,
it's about,
if it's been just you and your partner or just you and your housemate,
like,
or you and your family or whoever you've been with this year,
like definitely try and incorporate some other people into that.
Otherwise, it's just you and your partner, but now you're in, you know.
The Pilchus Museum.
The Pilchus Museum.
I hope that helps, Casey, because it obviously is difficult because you don't want, you know,
every staycation is different, but hopefully that gives you a little bit of, because it's a little bit of inspiration, a little bit pep in your holiday step.
And also, what I'm looking forward to is the moment this gets released.
It's like, oh, you can go on holiday abroad now.
I'm going to, but I think even if you can, like, ethically should you, like, and also, I mean, do, go do whatever you want to do with your life.
But I also think, like, if you live, and this can be true, if wherever you're listening, we're
talking about the UK because we live here, but like,
wherever part of the world you're listening to,
holidaying in your own country
is still an exciting thing and there's so much,
there is so much in your own country that you can't even imagine it,
you know?
Keep Britain British.
Imagine if that was our, that was, that's actually what we're sort of aiming for.
Sorry, we've become presenters for GB TV.
This is our new thing and we're, yeah, get out.
If it's not British, I'm not loving it.
That's my personal motto going forward, but also obviously post-pandemic business, small businesses have really struggling.
And so it actually is nice to pump some money back in your own country.
Yeah, pump it in.
And pump it around.
I'm proud.
And buy your weird.
To be popping it back into Britain.
Buy the weird like, oh.
And caveat out there that while proud, she's also not a fascist.
But like, yeah, and it is that like, yeah, buy the weird mugs and teetails.
And then like the staff.
Buy some flags.
By the, I know.
Put them on your car.
Note, buy your flags, buy British, and go on a nice British holiday.
As it was intended.
As nature intended.
And also, like, we have got, we're so bad.
It's the weather that lets us down.
But, like, we have got such cool, good stuff here.
Beautiful landscapes.
Or wherever you are, every country's got cool, good stuff, you know.
You're never too far from a lovely babbling brook.
Right, go find a brook for heaven's sake.
Go look at a brook and shut off.
On that note, no, you can find us at Nobody Panic Pod,
and I'm at CVM, the SSAF5.
Please, you send us your episode's suggestions
so we can continue and not run out of ideas.
Although we have got, we've got actually,
we've got a lovely little black book of ideas,
which I'm looking forward to working through
over the next few months.
Tessa, where can people find you?
Bye.
I've never done that before on the podcast.
Oh, that's very cute.
I've been doing those my whole life, the little hiccups.
So you're welcome.
That's how people can find you.
They just hear that.
Listen out for that hiccup and you'll find me.
You'll find me near the nearest babbling brook or British farm shop.
And I'm at Tessacote or that's it.
I thought I was thinking out all, but I've got nothing else.
Have a lovely week.
And if you fancy going and have a little holiday, go do it.
Go do it.
And tell us all about your good idea.
Britain.
Sick.
Bye.
Bye.
