Hello. Hello. So I really jumped in before you there. I saw you about to say hello and I was like, no, I'm doing it. Hello. This is my show. Don't you know. It's Al and M, not M and Al, okay?

I never know. Like, there's Anten Deck and then there's us. I always say M and Al. I think I always say Alex and M. It's confusing for me because I am part of two duos. I'm Alex and Em and Alex. But what are you with other Alex? Are you Alex and M or I'm an Alex?

Maybe I'm an Al. Oh, an Al. Or Al, or Al, I don't know. I don't like to think of myself as being talked about or perceived. Like, by my friends, I don't want to know what my friends call me or think about me. Do you know what I mean? If I think too much about it, I'm like, oh God, do they all hate me? Yeah, I'm stick clear of that.

Yeah, so I don't really want to know how they think about me at all. It's just ignorance is bliss. So, I haven't, is it just me? It feels like we haven't done one of these ages. Oh, it's because we did the live show last week, so we actually haven't done it no, she didn't say hi, I'm just saying hi. Is it just me or is hashtag hustle culture, hashtag girl boss, dead, or at least should it be? I'm keen to hear your thoughts.

I find the whole hashtag grind aesthetic so infuriating, but then I have to try and check myself and wonder why I'm slightly hating on these women who are putting this out to the world. It's a tricky one because I think it was a really big in the late 2000, sorry, it was really big in the late 2000 as a way to brag and flex and be proud of yourself. But now when I see it, I kind of roll my eyes, but I feel really mean. P.S. Love the Live Live Show. Oh my God. So much to say about this. This is such a good. Is it just me? I just want to read the end because it was definitely directed to you. So she loved the live show. Bought a friend who didn't know the podcast well. Laugh just as much as me. Also, embarrassing for

me, but I seem to reply to a lot of Alex's stories. And she's so sweet to respond to me, but don't worry if you can't do that all the time it's not expected you guys are the best that's so sweet that's really sweet but yeah the so is it just me what do you think a hundred percent and i i feel like i'm transitioning out of like hustle culture girl boss i hate term girl boss but like transitioning out of that mindset i feel like i've only recently had my eyes open to like oh it's that's not a good thing like that's a bit toxic and that's not what we should be striving for is to just like kill ourselves working and like being busy and working hard isn't a badge of honor and I saw this reel the other day that I was actually going to talk about in the podcast

but I forgot and it was very simple but it just said oh fuck I wish I'd saved it I don't think I did but essentially it was like time spent being unproductive is also time really well spent and like that blew my mind and like that sounds so weird doesn't it but like I feel like my The only valuable time is, for me, is like time spent doing something, like working for something, like striving for something. And that's just so not true. I hate wasted time. Like, I get, it's actually the only area, I'm not a particularly, like, angry or temperful person. Like, generally I'm kind of like, no, go with the flow. But wasted time really angers me. Like, if I've said I'm going to do something and then I'm late leaving or like, I, it's like,

if plans get messed around and I could have been working for half an hour and like that time's gone. Do you know what I mean? Like that is probably the only thing that really annoys me and I don't know why but I think it's probably stems from that like the thing is I hate and I want to meet the women that don't hate this but I hate saying that I work hard like about like I could say it to you like and I could say it to you because I know that you know that I work hard. I know that because I can also see that you work hard and I wouldn't mind. saying it to my friends and being like I'm working really hard at the women I'm really tired but the idea

of saying on Instagram that I'm working really hard makes me want to die like it makes me cringe and ick so much because I'm like and I'll always have imposter syndrome because I actually know that we work really hard and I know how much goes into what we do in the podcast and all that shit but no matter how much I justify it to myself the idea

of putting it out there where I know that a nurse is going to see it or a surgeon is going to see it or like a lawyer's going to see it I'm like nope nope I know do you know I feel like I did it I think I feel like I used to say it like on Instagram and I feel like I was actually trying to justify like yeah this is a real job I actually do work really hard and and now I just don't because I'm like it doesn't it doesn't matter like yeah I know what I do and I don't know one else needs to know also no one else cares no one else no one cares if I work really or I don't work at all they don't

there are a lot I mean because people have preconceptions people have to have judgments anyway like there will be people that think we work really hard probably not many but there are people that think that there's a lot of work that goes into it but then most people probably just think we sit on our asses or whatever yeah 100% and it's like okay I can't convince you and I don't really need to convince you like I remember getting a message at the end of last year being like what does you even do all day it's like blah blah and I was like do you actually want to see and then it's like I can't be fucked to show you to be honest because those that's quite and I guess that's what this person was talking about as well like

the reels that people put up where it's like do my day with me like because when brand sometimes brands asked me to film my morning routine and I just like my toes curl do you know I mean because there's always that like in an ad and I've actually just done one for sim proof but I had to stop myself before I started

like working on the day because the idea of setting up my phone to film myself on my laptop makes me so embarrassed and I definitely used to do that a bit like oh like yeah like here's a fast forward of me sitting at my laptop being a boss bitch and it's like oh cringe

cringe but I actually love seeing when people do their like what I do make could get ready with me and or like here's my morning routine like I love that stuff controversial controversially yeah these videos of people and I'm going to cite Grace Beverly because she you know she started like lots of businesses and obviously she started doing her fitness stuff she does the hustle stuff Like, you know, her content is like, she shares her to-do lists every day and like... Oh, fun. Yeah.

I'm so nosy. I love stuff like that. She shares her full to do this. And then she shares her full calendar with like the blocks. So she has like half an hour blocks of like the work that she does and like what she's doing in each one. Yeah. I could never. Like I could never.

I couldn't. I mean, I have a kid now. So I physically couldn't. But I couldn't work as hard as that. I wouldn't actually have that much to do because obviously she runs like four businesses. Like I would have all these blocks and be like, no one to have a call. I need to have a call with someone There's no one to call

But like So she But she makes these like Reels and does the stories of like working And I actually really enjoy that content Yeah me too Like the kind of hustle stuff Because I'm like good for you

And it does make me want to work harder Yes But I think you can tip into Like a toxic zone with that Well she gets quite a lot of shit From people saying like Because she's got a book I think called

Hardly Working or Work hard Hard Hardly working or something. And it's about working efficiently, basically, and, like, the balance. Right. And then she gets a bit of shit being like, well, now you're showing how busy you are and that's really toxic. And it's like, well, she can't really win.

Because if she didn't work that hard, people would be like, well, there's just an part, like, because, you know, I think she had quite privileged upbringing. So people always throw that at her. And it's like, well, she can't fucking win. She's either working too hard and you say it's toxic or she's not working hard enough and you say she's privileged. So. Yeah.

And also she could share her day without, like, fuck off. yeah whatever so I do feel a bit like that with the women thing it's like women working can't win because either you should be spending more time with your kid or you don't need the money or you're not working hard enough or like there's always something to be said about a woman working like people throw it at me all the time being like well you're this is cheap you don't have a real job you're living off someone else's money you know like your husband's money or your dad's money or whatever it is and it's just like then I'm earning my own but then you shouldn't be doing ads everyone hates you right exactly no one wants to watch an ad

Ew. Yeah, exactly. Like, sponsored content. Like, you're such a sellout. And it's like, I saw a really, really good TikTok. I'll put it, we'll put it on the Instagram. And it was basically this woman being like, and she was talking specifically about buying a designer bag.

But she's like, okay, so I'll go and buy a designer bag. And you tell me that I'm wasting my money. Or you say, where did I get this money? Is it my dad's money? Is it my dad's money? Because it can't possibly be my money. But if it is my money, then why am I going to use this money that I've earned to buy fast fashion?

shouldn't I be doing something a bit more eco-friendly? But then so should I make my own bag? Yeah, I could do that. But then think about how much water it takes to make cotton and it's just like, this is all because a woman wants to buy a bag. And it's like women have to justify themselves so much. And I feel like that always happens when we're spending or working. Basically, there's ever a money in the dynamic.

We have to apologise. Yeah. In a way that men don't. Yeah, it's so true. Men can just go to work. It's so true. And it's so annoying. So I slightly, I hate the expression girl boss.

but I the hustle whatever I'm a bit just like I'll let them live definitely definitely but I think like as a collective we are moving away from that I feel I like the office aesthetic I like these like young women and I do feel like it's a new type of um aspirational content where it used to be like where we used to and I'm saying this Lucy I'm not saying this is what actually like women were interested in but we were always um

Pegg the only interest that we had, like people would assume, would be like, what pretty lip gloss can we buy and like nice outfits to wear to the office so you can be a sexy secretary or whatever. So it's like, I do like this kind of like, and I'm going to incite Grace Beverly again, but like this kind of these women that are working really hard and dressing well and earning money and spending the money that they've earned. And then filming the reels. Yeah.

They're fancy little coffee cups in the nice little, and it's always got that like little square font in the middle doesn't it with like the date yeah and I'm like ooh and they're always making the like iced coffee yes with a straw with a metal straw and they spin it SMR yeah SMR yes I enjoy

yes and they're wearing tight little lycra things and then they sit cross legedly on their Macbooks and I'm like get it queen yeah I don't know why I just I like that I just think like oh good so do I so do I but I think what I don't like and sorry I keep coming back to this is like

the idea that we just have to be, like, it's glorified to be constantly on the go. And, like, you know, I read Verity by Colleen Hoover on holiday. Yeah. I enjoyed that time so much. Like, my head was buried in the book. Like, when I wasn't reading the book, I was thinking about going back to reading the book. And I loved it. And since I've been back, I'm like, I feel like I don't deserve to read fiction.

Because you haven't got the time. You should be. Yeah, because I should be using that time instead to try and read a nonfiction to try and like better this or that or try and learn about this or that and try and like better myself in some way like self-improve. Do you want this one really sad? Since Ollo's been born. Yeah. I haven't read really since my, since Alex's paternity leave ended since I came back to work. Not because I don't have the time, but because when I do have the time, I feel like I should be working. That's really sad because you love that so much. I know. And I, I didn't even take a book

to Madrid because I was like, I just need to be working. Like if I'm not, if Alex has got Olo, I just need to be working but and also I'm in Madrid how else am I going to afford to be here I know I know so it's fine but yeah but yeah I like I like that we're moving away from it but at the same time I do enjoy seeing the content that I find quite jarring though is then when it's just like when it's people like remember to take a minute for yourself like it's the opposite of that where I'm just like I get it and I want that too but it could never be me I don't know whether it's like it's the same, it's exactly the same format but the laptop is closed and then they probably get the same coffee cup and then just go and like sit and it's just like they sit on a nice sofa and they

pull themselves up and they like pull their legs up and then they read a book and they're like like meditation to slow down yeah yeah I'm like oh that's nice I've definitely done a real like that more like a thousand percent I definitely will I've got flashbacks of writing on a piece of paper like remember to breathe oh god for the camera awkward um I keep I keep doing that I'm You do, it does sound like a foot outs in your pants. Yeah, I really, I agree on the like the girl boss notebooks. Yeah. Hustle, grind. That era is over, I think.

Yeah, that era is. It's all like the pink fluffy bit. And I remember, I remember when I was just starting being self-employed. And I'd take myself off, me and Bouta, and I'd take myself off to a coffee shop to go and work. And I was like, I, when I first started doing the influencing stuff, I worked in the back of a, I think I've told you, a fireplace shop. and I had my so I could make money while not making any money

trying to be in a producer or writer as I was then anyway and I had my little laptop with my little pink case on it and I had a little notebook that definitely said girl boss on it and then I had a pink fluffy pen

and it was like oh I'm legally blonde like on Elwood except not a lawyer I had on my laptop at work when I used to work in beauty a brand sent me like a big sticker that's a beauty boss so I put that on my work

computer and I was like I'm such a ball beauty boss yeah I love that yeah it is annoying because obviously like and then this is argument has been done to death

and it's like what obviously like you wouldn't call the like but I do I really I think it was a massively missed opportunity that no one made a notebook that said boy boss on it 100%

like a blue one I would have got one for Alex yeah because Alex has a notebook for his work all the time he was always making notes and stuff which is just adorable like he's got a little notebook looks all over the house. Why did no one ever make one that said boy boss? I would love that.

I might get him on for father's day. Girl boss is gross. Girl boss is so rose. When you switch it and go boy boss like you realize how gross it is. Like yeah imagine Alex going into work with this little like boy boss notebook. He should be fired on the spot if he did that. But then yeah but then we're all marketed it like yeah it's it's so annoying. It was even a brand girl boss. Was it? Yeah it was um Sophia, God, what did it come over her name, yeah, she made an entire brand out of it. I think it was like merch, I'd also like a podcast. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, girl boss, yeah. Yeah, she was the girl boss.

Yeah, because it's like, I don't know, I applaud these women, I applaud the content. I, like, I'd celebrate it all, but it's just actually, yeah, when you flip it, it's like. Yeah, and I don't know how good hustle culture is for mental health. No. I really don't believe that it is. me personally I don't believe that it is and I think that it's yeah even though you have those like bits of flashes of like take time for yourself and stuff but even that content that's what I think I was trying to say before about that

being jarring is the time that you take for yourself like I my time for myself wouldn't ever look like the aesthetic time for yourself yeah and even that looked curated to the extent that the time for yourself didn't like that doesn't feel relatable to me, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, yeah. Exactly. Time for myself would be like,

just lying down, horizontal. Having a wank. Having a wang. Yeah, I said to you actually earlier when we were having a little preet before we came down here, that, because the last two weeks have been so busy for me

and we're in the studio today. I just want to, like, do nothing this week. Not nothing, but I want to just do less this week. And I'm really excited. I'm going to go out for lunch tomorrow. nice I think probably won't but I like

I like the idea of it and it's like all I've got in my diary is going to Pilates on Wednesday I'm like fucking this is yes perfect and that's like the massive privilege of self-employed life but then also I actually want to own this

I didn't get maternity leave I was just about to say that's not a privilege because you love maternity leave never talk about that online because I'm so scared of people being like oh you don't know you're born blah blah blah yeah

which is fair enough because you know like I am always with us today in the studio and my sister's come to help and like that is really valuable and yeah but but i did i did cry a lot to alex last week just because i was really stressed and i just kept saying i was like i just i'm just jealous because you can't afford to take maternity leave in this job like you just you and i also do think as well i think i don't i'm not going to speak for you but this is how i would feel if i had a baby is like i'd be scared of taking time off completely so to

you know to like make I was in fear if I would become irrelevant or people wouldn't care anymore if you disappear for long enough there's no job to come back to it that's what I kept saying brands aren't interested anymore like you've got no work so there's that element as well

it's like if you can afford to take maternity leave like if you could like that would be incredible but I wouldn't it's not really it's not even a monetary thing no even if I could financially afford to take nine months off or whatever six months off is whatever most you know most people get in the UK I couldn't. If I took six months off Instagram on nine months,

I'd come back and everyone be like, who the fuck are you? Yeah, you couldn't. Like, just absolutely unfeasble. So I was saying this to someone at the weekend. No, I was like, yeah, I took four weeks. And I was like, well, I don't have a choice.

I don't have a choice. I mean, I do. And people will just be, oh, I don't do this job then. But it's just like, but I love this job. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, some weeks I just want to be like, no, I want to have like a couple of days maternity leave this week. Absolutely.

I'm just like not with my good. Yeah. So you should. I'm going to do it. Fuck it. Yeah. Nice. Okay.

Update us on your, on your, oh, just spilled my heart tea on me. Fine. It's gonna do this on you. Oh. You're wearing the same shoes. I copied you. That's why. I have two pairs of these.

When we first started wearing, wearing my body once. When we first started wearing together. Working together. I was like, I need some cool shoes. What are those? Air Force ones. And now that's all I wear. So thank you.

Very much. Sorry for copying you. The new balance ones are cool now. The dad trainer. I've heard and I've seen people wearing them. I've got them. I should have worn them this morning. But I can't give up.

Yeah, I've got a stress fracture from walking so much. Oh my God. It's not the surprise. In Madrid, I just wore my, I just wore my Birkenstocks every day. And I walk like 20,000 steps a day in Birkenstocks. My left foot is very sore. No, I, yeah, no, I recognize that. I feel like Birkenstocks are not a long-term walking solution shoe.

No, cool, though. they are really cool I do look really good yeah I want a new pair of Birkenstocks actually I love mine they're black and I think you saw them last day because I got my birthday they've got white bottom I copied you oh yeah you did I bought the

you did you bought the yeah you bought exactly the same ones yeah I love that yeah yeah so there you're all the same shoes okay I have a I have an email titled Spray tan mortification which does light up my soul I love stuff shit like this

is this on the back of the live episode indeed. Stunning. Hey Alex and M. Oh, okay, interesting. Not I'm an Alex. No, and I also feel like most people call me Al now. I like Alex and M.

You only call me Al, I think. Yeah, or girl Alex when I'm talking about you. Yeah. But I don't want to tell you that I talk about you because I don't want you to get nervous. Yeah, no, please. Now you've just like. Doesn't it think you feel sick when someone that's like,

oh, I'm just talking about you? And I'm like, can we just take a break so I can have a panic attack. Right. Your spray tan stories from the live episode absolutely cracked me up and encouraged me to bite the bullet and send in my own. I'm not sure it's quite as bad as the palms on the floor situation, but here goes. When I was at school, our prom was a big deal to us,

and we of course wanted to look our absolute best of, which in 2006 meant you had to be as tanned as humanly possible. Absolutely. Still do. Keeping in mind, we lived in a town in northeast Scotland, and the problem was in December. There was no way we would be kidding anyone that there was anything remotely natural about these looks.

I love it, Scotland in December. For special occasions like this, most of us opted for the double spray tan, aka going for one on the Monday and a second coat on the Wednesday. I love that. I've never done. That's hard. That's going hard.

Basically, like we were a fence being slicked with Ron Seal, and to be honest, we came out not far off that shade of fence orange. Can I just say, I can definitely tell that it's been like 15 years since she left school just by the fact that she was. she's now comparing it to a fence being painted.

Like, that is growing up. That is. That's Adelting for you. Yep. Anyway, at this time, I was also determined to lose weight, but of course, exercise was the pits and too much effort for a 16-year-old. So my bright idea was to secretly steal my mum's slim fast. Ah, the early 2000s.

Having not eaten anywhere near enough for a few days, I went in for my second coat of paint. And as I was getting ready in the poorly ventilated hot room, I started to feel a little wonky. Oh, no. Is this really going to be better than the Palm's Down story? Like, this sounds like it's going in a direction

that I wouldn't want to go in. Also, it sounds like she goes a lot to this salon. It was a frequent thing for them to go on the Monday and the Wednesday. This is not someone that you can never see again. When the lady came in and started spraying my naked self, the fumes of the tan obviously became too much combined with the lack of food. And next thing I knew, I was waking up in a crumpled

naked heap on the floor with five beauticians staring at me. I had fallen with one foot still in the shower cubicle thing where they did the tan, so I was also pretty much spread eagled. Thankfully, the wall got the brunt of that view, but it must have really been quite the sightful to behold. Anyway, they gave me some chocolate as I sat there feeling like an absolute dickhead in a towel, and once I was home, I realised this meant that only my right forearm had the benefit of the second coat of tan. So you can imagine how super cool that looked on the big night as I tried to lurk my best in my bright green monsoon lull number. Oh my God, I know the monsoon.

You know, I went to a party in 2007 in a monsoon teal dress. I went down to my knees. Oh, bless you. And I loved it. I thought it looked so pretty. I'll find your photo. I'll find your photo. I'll put it on the Instagram.

I did not out. And I did. You know when you do that thing for the photos where you put, you put your hand over your head, like you're looking out to see? Yeah, like the Baywatch. Yeah, like, oh yeah, we need a photo. Please, we need some evidence. You'll have one, excellent. Sadly.

Then, about 10 years after, I started going to a new beautician, and as she was doing my eyebrow, she told me she used to work in that town where I was from thinking there is no way the timelines would have matched. I gave her a brief version of the story, and it turns out she was there, and she was one of the five ladies who saw me in all my glory. Good times, good times. What are the chances? I know, how funny.

That story went a direct. that makes me happier than I originally thought because I thought she was going to shit herself. Oh God, God, I was thinking vomit. Shut, I imagine, because you're naked. It would just go plop straight on the floor. There is nothing to catch it. It would just go on the floor.

Oh my God, die. On the floor. No, I couldn't cope. That was so disgusting. There's something about falling over. I've told you this before. The best thing that ever happened to me was when Alex fell down the stairs naked. Like, oh, he fell over the other day.

He fell over in Madrid. Did he? It's so funny. Oh. I've said this before. His cognitive skills are the first to go when he's tired, and we're very tired at the moment because life, you know. And he just, he's all over the place.

So he went, yeah, he went down twice. So good. Anyway. Love that. But falling over naked is so embarrassing. I can't imagine. One of my biggest fears, like, imagine, because I sleep naked a lot, I did before I had a baby anyway.

Imagine dying in your sleep. Like, how fucking undignified? They'll just find your, like, naked corpse. Gross. Gross. So gross. It's like they've got to wheel you out debt, like naked. It's like when people used to say, like, you've got to wear nice knickers in case you get

run over by a bus. Yeah, my mum always said, like, yeah, give the paramedics something nice to work on. Oh, my God. I know. It's so bad, isn't it? So sick. I love it. I know, yeah.

Welcome, boys. Enjoy the show on girls. Weird. I'm dead But Enjoying my bright pinkers Yes But it's Lecenza

Two Pieces a real treat Oh my God Monsoon Lecenza Pilot What if I don't even know that We had a peacocks Where I went to school

We didn't have peacocks No, no pilot Oh my God Dorothy Perkins I spent a lot of time in Dorothy Perkins Dorothy Perkins was the only shop The only fashionable shop in the town

That I was living in and oh my god like i i remember performing at school in a in a dorothy perkins and i had nothing to wear and all my friends we talked oh yeah all my friends were just so cool like and they all got to go to top shop and stuff and i was in dorothy perkins there was a big difference top shop and dorothy perkins big yeah yeah i had a lot of poker dots i rocked a lot of i was about to say to you I had a white pencil skirt with black polka dots and I wore it with black court shoes thinking I was the bomb.

And the plastic pearls. The plastic pearls. I don't even know where I got those. There must have been Claire's accessories because, yeah, Dorothy Perkins. But oh my God. And I remember going to Bista Village once with my friends and I had this cropped green, Ralph Lauren,

very chunky knit cardigan. And I wore it very cropped. literally just below the boobs with massive brown buttons and I wore it all the fucking time like I'd wear it with a t-shirt and then my denim skirt so they'd be like an expansive back like six inches long between the bottom of my cardigan

and the bottom of my top of my denim skirt gross so I loved a cardigan I loved a cardigan I didn't really I did have a full length denim coat denim coat full length I wanted it for so long

I saved up for it like I ended up using my birthday money to buy it it was so disgusting it was from like a specialist show as well because obviously like Topshop wasn't going to sound

like I'm dead like like Crowello Deville but like of rock and roll bands oh no I could honestly I could talk about like teen fashion it's mixed

I remember going for an interview for my big school and or to look around it or whatever. And then my mum was really proud of me for like trying. So she took me to Topshop and I bought this one top and I treasured it. Like, and it was white and navy blue and black. And it went down to like my sort of mid thighs. Oh. Obviously. A tunic. It was mostly white. And it had these like blue and black flowers on it. And then from underneath the boobs it had these just really long tassels that made no sense.

Oh my God. And I treasured it. I got that and a pair of knickers, I think I still own, like a thong. Oh my God. And I remember just, and I wore it all the time.

I'll also send you a photo of that. No, no, no, no, with jeans, with a denim skirt. Was it a t-shirt? It was a shirt. But it was like, you know what they were like? They were long. Like, they all went down to like your mid-th thighs.

That sounds disgusting. And I'm so sorry to anyone who my own anything similar, but that sounds rang I'm going to find your photo of it It's bleak I honestly I've read that with my main cardigan for sure

it was all the same time and I just wanted to be cool so badly and I just wasn't Yeah same Isn't it tragic Yeah And like those cowboy belts

I loved a good cowboy belt I had a big Wicker belts They were big Wicker belts With huge buckles Yeah Yeah

And those elastic ones That look like seat belts like do you remember those like we had like elastic ones and then like with the holes and you could clip clip them through I had a neon pink

and you'd wear a really baggy t-shirt and then you'd put a stretchy belt over the top so it all like ballooned over the top oh god I did so many bad things and then we had all of those top shot bodycon skirts so that had in loads of colours

yes I had a black one well I'd loads add it too I had black and then had it bright pink my uniform was like bodycon mini skirt tight mini skirt black tights and boots

of course and then on the top I'd wear like a really baggy oversized top which I'd then put the elastic belt on really low on my hips so it would look like I had this sort of huge blowy gut

which for some reason I thought was fashion and then underneath it I'd wear like a pink like a pink vest so you get like a pop neon bra yeah yeah licenza bras oh my god I've got

I feel so nostalgic right now I also had a pair of Union Jack leggings that's horrific incredibly Brexitey with the eyesight. That just brought up Bile. I am not patriotic enough to have owned those. But they were Top Shop and I loved them. Wow.

Because that was like... The Cape Moss era. Yeah, the Cape Moss area, the Union Jack. Yeah. Little London. It was all like... Yeah, the Union Jack was very trondy. Yeah.

That's probably where Brexit stem. That's probably where the seed started. Yeah. Because they should have made an EU flag. If I'd have had EU leggings, we'd be in a very different situation right now. Fucked it for everyone. Yeah.

God, I wore them all the time. I want them a trousers. I want to, like, dig up all photos now. I will. Yeah, I will. Okay. And I will grace your eyeballs with them. Brilliant, can't wait.

Oh my God, I know I need to find it. It was so tragic. It's probably back on time. So tragic. Fucking out. When I went and had a baby, the floor length denim skirt came back in. Yeah. Like, I missed that.

I was gone for four weeks and now I'm back. It's all the rage. What? Yeah. I'm wearing at the airport yesterday. She looked so cool. And if I did, I'd literally look like I was there to milk your cow. Yeah, I'm not sure about it for me either.

Alex, we would look. Yeah, possibly. No, no, no, no, no. I know what that means. It means you're going to try it. Yeah, I thought about it quite a lot. We'll look so stupid. What I'm worried about is mobility, because it looks like it really impacts on your ability to move your legs properly.

We're right by Oxford Street, did we go and try them off? Maybe. That would be really funny. Not going to rule that out. Okay. Well, my friends. Thanks so much for listening. Thanks for listening.
