The Luke and Pete Show - Do you believe in ghosts?

Episode Date: August 24, 2023

Pete recently went on a ghost hunt. Although it sounds like he spent more time playing with tech than he did hunting ghosts, as you’d expect.In yet more predictable news, Luke’s fuming because his neighbour is once again using a traffic cone to save their parking space and a listener tells us about a bar in Madrid that is quite literally nuts.Want to get in touch with the show?

It's the Luke and Pete show I'm Pete Donaldson and I'm joined by Mr. Lukey Moore and it's a Thursday so that means Battery Brands Boys and Braziers

I'm sorry I didn't read I didn't get that Did you not read that in the briefs as well? Batteries Boys Bras bras and briefs. Should we do an episode only talking about things that are bee? Yes. Start with bees.

They're delicious. No, they're not delicious. Don't eat bees. Do not eat the bees. The things they make are delicious. Yeah. The things they make. Yeah.

I mean, I would say that if you discovered bees, obviously the human versus bee sort of interaction has stuck. Could you not bend that, make that headphone thing? Cable, I'll just chew on it.

I know, you can't chew it like a little rat boy. I won't get an electric shock from it, will I? Yes. Okay,

I'll stop there. My bank account will get a shock because I've got to buy them. If people had to answer a poll, either you or me, that was eating cables in the studio

that's definitely me and to be honest if I'm going to eat it I really eat it you just give it a little bend a little twist otherwise the devil

makes work for these arduous hands. I'm going to give you a little stress toy. I love those little executive stress toys you can buy here and there. You don't get them

anymore do you? No you do but they've become incredibly expensive like £100 fidget spinners and stuff for executive yeah all this kind of like slidey stuff. You used to give them away for free they're like no you do but they've become incredibly expensive like a hundred pound fidget spinners and stuff what

yeah all this kind of like slidey stuff you used to give them away for free in like little goof bags before

people would make you sound like you were drunk then you used to give them away in goof bags before before times you'd have to sit

for a terrible training day presentation from some terrible company at the end you'd get like a stress ball terrible training day presentation from some terrible company. At the end, you'd get like a stress ball. Squitchy.

So why are they so expensive now? Do you remember those ones that were like an upturned top hat and a pink ball with like nodules coming out of it, like tits? No. Do you remember? No. They were like, they looked like a torso and an upturned... With a dimpled head. Kind of, yeah. But you don't see them around anymore,

but they were very, I think just sand and water, innit, in a latex bag or something. Delicious. Anyway, um, looky me,

um, I went on a ghost hunt, on Friday. Who with? Uh, my partner, I have access to, and her ghosts,

and my ghosts, and, uh, her friend who introduced us to the very idea. It was, it was in. I can't be, I couldn't be happier about this. Can I tell you what? I'm absolutely delighted to hear how this went. It was.

There's no way before you say anything, I don't know anything about this. You just sprung this on me. Yeah. Can I just say say there's no way that any of this is going to end well for one reason or another this is going to be a disaster

so please carry on it was brilliant in some ways quite dull in other ways and long in every way yeah because my friend did one

he said it went on for like 8 hours why does it need to be 6 it was we got that nine, didn't leave the Kelvedon nuclear bunker until three in the morning.

And who was the, who was the leader of the hunt? It was three people from Essex. Out of work actors? I wish there was some acting involved

to be honest. They were very much down the Derek Acora common man in a bomber jacket kind of vibe rather than who, I mean... Did they sincerely believe? I think they sincerely believed. Okay.

In between all of the presumably jiggery-pockery that they're inventing themselves. The reason I ask that, Pete, is just because I get quite a lot of stick from you on and off the record about my interest in UFOs. Yeah. And now you're doing ghost hunts

and expecting me not to give you shit for it. Yeah. Well, it was just a... I very much enjoyed it, right? I thought it was a great night. It didn't need to be 3am because the thing about a bunker is you can't see outside.

You could do it at 2 in the afternoon if you wanted to. It doesn't matter. Yeah, just turn the lights off. Ghosts are more likely to come out at night. Ghosts are more likely to come out at night ghosts are more likely to come out at night

why? who knows because you know people are more likely to be inebriated aren't they to see them but it was a lot of fun

and I basically got to walk around some absolutely primor dumb terminal commodore action in the nuclear bunker

by myself nobody's watching what I'm doing and I'm just fucking pressing stuff. This is Jack Five for them. He's just looking at the tech. So we got taken to four or five different rooms, right? And they did all the

usual kind of Ouija boards, spinner table kind of stuff. You sort of see it ghost on screen. But is it made clear that it's just an entertainment thing? No, no, no, no. It's very much like... Are there a lot of women that are of a certain age? Men and women quite young,

to be honest. Oh, right. And to be honest, and I would say that, you know, because I don't necessarily believe, it's hard for me to... I can't criticise

because a lot of people... You don't necessarily... You don't believe. A lot of people got a hell of a lot out of it and like, fuck me, like's that's worth it right but i my needs have to be respected as well so if uh so i have a different opinion no um but like it was just really good and and so they took us out four or five different rooms right and they did hold your hands

and then somebody will talk to a ghost and I'm like I'm tired it's 12 o'clock and I'm tired I just want to go to sleep and a bottle of whiskey

and a bottle of whiskey you weren't allowed to drink Dad! Dad! Pete your dad's still alive he's still alive but

so all the ghost hunting side of the thing it wasn't really for me and I knew it wasn't going to be. But they did just let you do what you want. Yeah, it was great. And so I just wonder, at one point, everyone's doing a seance or whatever,

and I just go next door, and because it was an old nuclear bunker, there's a lot of beds around in the sickbay. So I'm just lying down next to these. Is it a disused thing? Yeah, it's a museum now right but it's one of those

museums that's not really kept up with modern museum kind of stuff so it is just it's kind of been left what it was left like in like the early 80s

or whenever it closed down like it's proper like rough stuff yeah and it's not really been it's not really a sort of modernised museum facility which is really nice there's not really a sort of modernised museum facility

which is really nice there's no security cameras and I just went to sleep for ten minutes in a bed that's not been slept in presumably since like

you know some Cub Scouts well I thought it was going to be but tiredness took over me could I just be clear the Cub Scouts

weren't still the Cub Scouts were not there and as you left did you have a little whisper in the organiser's ear and go when you go in there

in a minute just want you to know ghost did that it was ectoplasm it wasn't me it was ectoplasm so how many buttons did you press

that's how you judge a good night yeah yeah how many buttons I got to press I walked around so many because there was

stuff like kind of like velvet roped off so I said don't go down this computer bit and I'm just fucking going down

because there's no security cameras and I'm just walking around I went in the generator room two big fucking Rolls Royce

turbine motherfuckers I went to like the operations room with all the maps on the clear perspex walls and stuff like that it was brilliant

it was so much fun and I just sort of walked around and just like pulling out papers and stuff. And this seance, they found someone with a certain name. So I went next door

and there was all these telephone books. I went, right, let's see if he's in the fucking phone book then. And I'm reading it. It was brilliant. If I was running a night like that and you showed up, I'd be absolutely crestfallen.

Because it's organised fun that has to be done a certain way, and that's just a red rag to a ball to you. Yeah, but as I get older, like the way that I'm describing how much fun everybody else had, I like to think that I am a little bit more reserved and a little bit less, I want to do what I want to do. Well, it doesn't sound like it, based on what you just said there. Yeah, but I'm sneaking up.

I'm not going, guys, this is all a load of shit. I'm going to go and have a sleep next door. I'm not. I'm just lying. I'm just going. No, but you are doing that. You're not saying it,

but you are doing that. But I'm just private. Like, they sort of say, if you want to go in any of the rooms and just have a private, I can't remember what the word is, a seance or something,

go and do it. I was like, brilliant. Donnie's having a sleep. I'm having a private seance of my own. Make sure the door's locked. Private seance or something go and do it I was like brilliant Donny's having a sleep I'm having a private seance of my own make sure the door's locked private seance seancing for money so

did you come away from the whole experience thinking more or less believing in ghosts er probably not the same I would say

which is like non-existent you can pretty much but it but it but it I was just

I just had the best time it sounds amazing didn't need to be 3am didn't need to be 3am did not need to be getting back to the house at 4am I was so tired

that's what Sarah normally says to you isn't it but yeah great stuff there's a well I'm pleased you had a good time I had no idea you were doing that and that sounds

whose idea was it Sarah's friend yes yeah yeah the best thing was one of the best things was, the fucking, they just had the gift shop, right? And the cafe.

And it was all on the honour system. Like, it was all, and it made me spend more money. Because I was like, Guilty. Guilty conscience. What have you done? I bought a balaclava,

like proper IRA balaclava. I bought a tea towel with horrible mushroom clouds all overava. I bought a tea towel with horrible mushroom clouds all over it. I bought some shandy bass. I bought loads of stuff and an old leaflet and you were just going up the card machine and just banging a bit more money

into the honesty jar. And there was a brick-a-brack. Can I just say, I can see your weekly shopping list being a balaclava, a tea towel, eight cans of shandy bass. I've got all the essentials.

What are you doing? I'm going fishing. Ah yeah. Ah yeah. What you've got to understand, everyone listening, is that Pete does genuinely tend to judge a night out on whether A,

he's pushed a load of buttons, and B, he's bought a balaclava. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's come home with a balaclava. Imagine that. Imagine there was a, like,

imagine you'd done that, you bought those things, you bought a balaclava and say you bought, like, a load of rope from the... Yeah,

and then that's in the back of the car. Because you genuinely would have been like, oh, I could probably do with some ropes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then on the way home there's like a police blockade because someone's been kidnapped. Oh, if I was around at like the Yorkshire Repertimes, I'd be in big trouble, I reckon. I think that that sounds like an amazing night out.

It was great. Do you think that Sarah and her friend actually wanted you to come or were they just being polite, do you think? I think if they had any sense in their head,

just to be polite, yeah. He won't accept. It's like here with the younger members of staff here. If you're having a party, invite me out of politeness so I don't feel like I won't accept it's like here with the younger members of staff here if you're having a party yeah right invite me

out of politeness I'm never going to come I promise you I won't come but if you do a party I don't know about I feel a little bit put out invite me I promise you I'll say no

but then everyone kind of gets on with their life right it's like that with this I think invite Pete he won't want to come he doesn't believe in ghosts anyway right

he's got a load of stuff he's actually pulling apart on another computer. But you've said yes there. And you've ruined it for everyone. I've not ruined it for everyone. I was just stomping around. How many people are there in total? Probably about 25 to 30, I think. How many

of them did you directly or indirectly impinge upon their evening? None. I got involved in everything. I held everyone's hand when hands needed to be held. I got involved with pushing the glass around the table and stuff. Were you not even a little bit freaked out? I thought I would be freaked out because it's quite late and it is quite spooky down there.

Yeah. That's how they get you, isn't it? Yeah. Because it's like, even in your own house, if you wake up, so I remember once in the middle of the night, it was like 3am, long before my son was born. There's just this unbelievable crash in the living room.

Right. And we're on the first floor. There's no reason to be scared, really. I was fucking shitting myself. It took me about 10 minutes to get the courage to go in there. And what happened is the mirror had come off the wall and smashed onto the mantelpiece. Nothing was broken. It just made a really big noise.

My point is that even in that environment at night when you're disorientated in your own house, it's frightening. So clearly you're suggestible in that kind of thing, which is why more people have that experience. But I remember, it might have been Professor Brian Cox, but a famous TV scientist did something quite good on the radio about how he talked about how ghosts contravene the laws of physics.

And so he can't believe in them, and no one can believe in them, because actually, whatever you like it or not, the laws of the universe, which are basically unimpeachable, mean that ghosts can't exist. Well, quantum stuff's quite spooky, isn't it? It is, yeah. Isn't that a similar kind of vibe? Well, I don't think it's like your old Aunt Agatha. It's not quantum physics. No. Oh, Pete, why didn't you?

There's a bit of that kicking around. But, you know, it seemed to work for people. People love it. It's fine. Absolutely fine. Here's the problem.

Where's your cut off? Because if you're having a nice time, that's fine. The problem is when you get people who pretend to be talking to the dead and are basically preying on other people's grief.

Yeah, well, that is the other side of it. I think to to enjoy it to run something like that i think but um but uh to to enjoy it i think is uh it's fine um and changing the subject slightly you never guess what happened in our street i'm gonna show you the video right right not another uh did they use it did he use your road as a bit of a rat run because wasn't there a guy who flipped his car yeah like one time

has that happened again or did the did the woman get her bollard out again she fucking did can you believe it can you believe that what possible reason

was it this time so here's a video Mimi took it so on a previous so on a previous Lugapete show there's a woman

who lives over the road where's she getting all the bollards from over the road she must have stolen them from somewhere over the road

a lady will come out and just put a bollard so that nobody will park in front of her house because she needs her car in front of her house but like

it happens too often to be just an occasional thing I've got people other people involved with removing them right okay I could not fucking believe it

on Saturday. I thought it was done. I got a couple of neighbours involved. My mum was a really good mate and she said to me in the pub, my wife's about to have a baby, I don't know if I can get involved in this. Anyway, we thought as a road

we had to stop it. It's about 300 houses, about two of us did. And I thought it was done. I thought the message, in a properly passive-aggressive way, in many ways the same energy is inviting you to a party that you're not going to turn up to. I thought, she's understood it's unacceptable, because we're all in the same boat here.

And then on Saturday I was at the Spurs-Main United game, and I got a video from the Wi-Fi I have access to, and it was just a video of the bollard being put back out again. It's just incredible to me. Endless bollards. There was a house next door to her

who've got two young kids who would probably really benefit from having been able to park outside their own fucking house. She's just a woman who just doesn't want to walk.

Yeah. Interesting. I know I've turned into that kind of person but I mean, jeez. Well, our neighbour went away a couple of days ago and he said,

Pete, if you want to put your car on my drive, that's absolutely fine. Ooh. Swingers. Pampas grass. Absolute dream.

You've not got a drive, no? No, no. Absolute dream. That's why it's like, I'm never going to be able to have an electric car.

Everyone talks about electric cars. How am I supposed to charge an electric car? It's difficult, yeah. It's insane. What I was going never going to be in an electric car everyone talks about electric cars how am I supposed to charge an electric car it's difficult it's insane what I was going to say to you oh yeah

this cracked me up so the defence team for Donald Trump said oh it's going to take us years to put together our defence

to fight this case you need to the district judge or whatever district attorney needs to understand this is a I mean, you need to be a judge, the district judge or whatever district attorney needs to understand this is a massive case. It's going to take ages to compile the evidence, speak to the people you need to speak to, and obviously pre-promoting the idea

that they'd quite like to map the case after the election, right? And then Donald Trump came out and said, I could do this by Monday. I can find evidence that exonerates me by Monday. I'll do a video on Monday. What I like about this is that we're all

getting excited. What's that fucking Sopranos fucking trial thing that's special about the last one? The RICO trial. They've built it into a RICO case,

which is the racketeering influence corporation organisation. So, I mean, a lot of lawyers are probably quite rightly up in arms saying that i i don't think lawyers should be going down for things that their clients have done because that kind of contravenes the whole kind of like privilege of of you know working as a lawyer

isn't it yeah but very much depends on what type of lawyer you are yeah exactly and and also um they sort of said i mean it's gonna it's I mean there's a lot of people involved so like how is this all of these kind of trials that are similar

the RICO trials take so long anyway and there's like 20 like defendants 20 20

people who might be prosecuted by them so how is this going to be done in the next 20 years but they're all flipping aren't they yeah but like they're going to have to flip

pretty quick for it to happen anywhere near the elect this is going to be like two years minimum surely they're trying to put it in for the new year wild

absolutely wild talking about the lawyers there reminds me of that scene in Breaking Bad where Jesse Pinkman says to Walter White who's obviously still quite naive about this stuff

he says he takes him to Saul Goodman's strip mall. And he says, that's the guy you want. What are you talking about? Why do you want that guy in a strip mall? He goes, because at some point you need to move from a criminal lawyer to a criminal lawyer.

And finally, before we go to the break, the latest Musketeer news. Is that the blocking? No, he's done better than that he's done better than that he's saying that now if you want to maintain

your ex account your Twitter account you have to take a photo of yourself with some government approved ID and upload it to the website yeah I never do that

no one is he's like he's trying to run it into the ground does he not have to give the money back to the Saudis if he really fucks it if he sort of goes

yeah you can't you can't, you can't chop my arms off because I have. Here's the thing. I could give you the money back or I could have

a punch up with Mark Zuckerberg. Don't answer now. Don't answer now. We can do it in Riyadh. It's absolutely fine. Not too bad. Anyway.

All right. Shall we chip off and then come up with some battery brands and also some emails? Nice. Hey, welcome back to the Luke and Pete show. One thing I neglected to mention was this man at the ghost hunt who turned up with a friend

and he refused to go in because there was too many people. Right. He said, I've been in one of these before. There's too many people. And he sort of flipped out and left and his mate do you reckon he was just frightened yeah I think he was

his mate came back and said yeah he promised me he wasn't going to have a drink but he's definitely got the chance and he's got

terrible anxiety I was like don't go on a fucking ghost hunt then I thought you were going to say sorry about him he was in the war well I don't know

he had a Green Goblin t-shirt on Green Goblin is that a guy yeah I thought you were going to say sorry about him. He was in the war. Well, I don't know. He had a Green Goblin T-shirt on. Green Goblin? Is that a guy? Yeah. Yeah. It's a bad guy. It's Spider-Man. Played by Willem Dafoe.

Yeah. Brilliantly, by the way. Brilliant. How good is Willem Dafoe? He's good, isn't he? And I think you get that so... Sometimes you get so ugly, you're sexy. Do you know what I mean?

He's very distinctive looking. you know what I mean? It's very distinctive looking. That's what I mean. Like, I just wish I could have pushed the boat out a bit more. You know what I mean? And become sexy. Yeah, you don't want to be

apologetically kind of unattractive. Yeah, you want to be jagged, weirdly distinct, bug-eyed, pointy nose, weirdo. It opens you up

to a whole swathe of the population that like that kind of thing. Yeah, exactly. At the moment, you're just a grey man. I'm just a grey man. I can't think of any films I've seen, even if it's a bad film, that Willem Dafoe's not brilliant in.

Do you know what I mean? No, I can't remember a lot of films he's seen. He's brilliant in Body of Evidence with Madonna, which is like his courtroom drama. Where's that come from? It's a big movie. It was a big movie because it was sexy and we were in our teens.

I don't think Body of Evidence was that big of a film. What's your point? It was a massive movie, Pete. He's in Born on the Fourth of July. He's amazing in Platoon. Amazing. He's in The English Patient as well. Kraken.

Spider-Man. Yeah. He's also in the old Life Aquatic with Steve Zizou, the Wes Anderson. I don't really like the Wes Anderson films that much, but he's in that. He's also in, lest we forget, Mr. Bean's Holiday. Right.

Battery Brands. Noah Roth, our friend Noah, the godfather of the battery daddy, Pete. He's up first, isn't he? He is. Hey there, lads. I have a battery submission. We all know about Pete's experience

with street chocolate and street breads. But has Pete ever encountered a street battery? I found this guy in the streets of NYC, baby! Thank you for that, Noah. I have. I mean, you do see them, and they're always crushed. Stamped upon, yeah.

Yeah, why? So Noah is now officially, I suppose, the owner of this battery, because he's picked it up. Yes. Looks like there's a child in the background of the photo as well, so I'm not sure about the quality of the parenting on display there. Right, okay. You shouldn't be teaching your kid to pick up batteries off the floor.

To pick up batteries, no. But yeah, what's the brand name? O-S-D-V. O-S-D-V. I wonder what that stands for. Ocular Service Distinction Vehicle. Distinction Vault. Distinction Vault.

It's a new player. Good stuff. First time we've ever seen an OSDV. No one just knows how to do it. He's just absolutely, he's like Messi in the MLS. He's just slamming them in for fun. Well done, Noah. Moving on to Rich.

Hi, guys. I've been listening since the start and at long last I'm hoping to have finally found what might potentially be a new play for the Battery Daddies

it was in a handheld fan bought for me last Father's Day which was a thoughtful gift but it will become one of the greatest if it leads me to the promised land

where I might lord it over my brother Steve also a long time since the show hello Steve keeping everything crossed for legation

extra power alkaline legation legation a word that I'm not at the shore. Hello, Steve. Keeping everything cross for legation. Extra power alkaline. Legation? Legation. A word that I'm not that familiar with. Reminds me of ligature, though. And I don't know why. Oh, a diplomatic minister. Is that what legation means?

Yeah. So, Rich, you are, I'm afraid, the second person to send in legation. Our friend Tyler sent those in on the 28th of May of last year. Right. He's all the way from Blacksburg,

Virginia is Tyler. So if you're still listening, Tyler, you had a new player there. So congratulations to you. But it was obviously

missed in the mix-up the first time around. But Rich, you are the second person to send those in I'm afraid. So unlucky darts, mate. Look at this.

A legation was a diplomatic representative office of lower rank than an embassy. Oh, right. Where an embassy... So what does that look like? Like an even shitter townhouse, if you're from one of the smaller countries. Where an embassy was headed by an ambassador, a legation

was headed by a minister. Ambassadors outrank ministers and had precedence at official events. Did we have them then? I don't know. Apparently the last remaining ones were upgraded in 1966 to full embassy. To full ambassadorships. Right. Okay.

Interesting. All right then. Right. Finally for now. Oh, I already know this one's a stinker. Here, Luke and Pete, try my luck with this battery brand Winmax. The battery is found in the old classic and aircon remote of a room at a remote mine site in the middle of nowhere in the northern outback

of Western Australia. That started badly because I saw the brand and then a story about an abandoned mine. Yeah, I love it. Or a remote mine, rather. You got kicked out of a mine once,

didn't you, for licking the wall? Oh, yeah, in Poland. In Poland, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got kicked out of a chamber of it. Previously contributed... Sorry.

Sorry, Pete. That's on me. Previously contributed a new player to the game. We're back, so hoping this is a second. Josh. Thanks for getting in touch. Winmax. Not a new player, I'm afraid.

Not a new player. I've seen that a few times. Most recently, Jack sent those in. Jack. Jack. His name is Jack. Jack. Jack Woodcocks.

Jack Woodcocks sent them in. So not new players, I'm afraid, but thank you for getting involved anyway. One new player this week, the OSDV from the godfather of the battery, Noah Roth, who is the originator of the battery. Daddy that I cut my hand open on opening it on the show live

a number of months ago. Never mind, but well done to Noah. Commiserations to Rich and to Josh. Peter. Hello. Should we do an email to round off? Let's do a quick email. Let's do a quick email to round us off. Hello. Should we do an email to round off? Let's do a quick email

to round us off. What do you want to do? Let's do Mike. Greg? Yeah, let's do Greg. Let's do Greg. Okay, Greg. Sorry, Mike.

Sorry, Mike. We'll move on to us next time. Greg says, highly compete just a quick one in the same vein as Japanese gambling

and the Ali Pali beer tokens. That is a reference to me saying that Alexandra Palace in North London didn't, as far as I remember, have a liquor license or an alcohol license, as we say here. So you used to have to buy tokens to get your beer and pizza. It's similar in

Japanese gambling in Porio. Is that fair? Yeah, the old little bowls, the little bagatelle bowls in the pachinko parlours. That's right. And Greg says, I used to live in an area of Spain and there were a place called San Miguel de Salinas, nothing to do with the beer of the same name.

In San Miguel, there was a bar known locally as the Nut House. The bar itself didn't have an official name. It was actually just a house with an open front and tables and chairs on the street out the front of the house. The bar had one toilet, the owner's toilet, and a living room where you'd normally find the owner's elderly mother sat on the couch watching tv i like

it what's the draw of a place like that you may think well the name itself was actually a double meaning firstly the owner was a bit of a nut himself and would perform various impromptu shows on the terrace with a wardrobe full of costumes and props good all of these shows would be fairly nonsensical and seemingly unrehearsed. Secondly, and more relevant to this topic, was the way he dispensed the beer. As it wasn't a licensed premise, he wasn't actually allowed to sell beer,

so he would sell you a small dish of monkey nuts for, say, two euros, and then give you a beer to go with them for free. This all went on for many, many years, and members of the Guardia Civil were frequently seen sat out there drinking. Sadly, he was eventually brought down by the local council, but at that point, he had made enough of a name for himself and money, of course, to make the

necessary conversions to his home, like an extra toilet, an actual bar, and an alcohol license. He does, however, still give out dishes of monkey nuts, but now it's for every beer sold. I've attached a link where you can Google the Nuthouse, San Miguel de Salinas, if you're interested in seeing the place in all its glory. All the best, Greg.

I think many of our listeners would like to visit that place. I think so. Do you think that it's still better than Pret-a-Manger? Because they don't have toilets, and I don't know how they get away with not having toilets. They do have toilets, you just missed it. No. They do.

No. You just need to get a code. No. Some of them don't have toilets. The one there's got a toilet. Which one? The one right near our office. Oh yeah,

but that's got a back bit and they're very rare. I reckon 10% of them have toilets and I think it's a disgrace that they're every... But the little takeaway ones, you don't need a toilet

and a takeaway. Why? Well, you're not going to be staying there. No, no, that's the weird thing. If you go to Stratford, it is a mini little takeaway one but they've got tables

and they go, are you eating in it's like it's just on the concourse of the fucking train station they just want to pay you more money they're a disgrace absolute disgrace

VAT I don't know how like nine times out of ten they don't have toilets I think it's terrible absolutely awful cord or no cord I thought you were a

pret guy I am a pret guy but I'm like I need a I have a real issue with toilets I go from here and i travel what is this the ghost i give me the willies i i travel on three different trains and none of the

toilets are ever working like stratford stratford doesn't have toilets like that's got about 10 different lines coming in and out of it no No toilets. Not even a disabled toilet, not even an accessible toilet. Nothing on the overground from here at Canterbury to Stratford. And if you get on the C2C, maybe one in every ten trains has a working toilet. There's none at Barking.

There's no train, there's no toilet at Barking. There's no toilet at Upminster. What are people supposed to do? What are people supposed to do? What are people supposed to do? Feel better? I'm just drinking a lot more water these days. Yeah, I know.

I thought that. Fuming. Absolutely fuming. Would you, so I think we can all agree the train system in this country is a joke. The toilet system is. The toilet system is.

What about, how do you rate Pret alongside the other high street kind of casual eateries? Do you rate it above a Leon? I don't really F. Leon can take a little bit too long for a fish finger sandwich. Good, though.

Have the fish fingers ready. I don't care whether they're dry. Just slather it in mayonnaise. It's good, though, isn't it? Slather it in aioli sauce. Yeah, I like the fries, little webbed fries. Beautiful. Leon aioli is good.

Leon aioli is good. Very nice. And so is their kind of chicken thigh sandwich. I'm a Pret. I like their jerk chicken. I don't is good. Very nice. And so is their kind of chicken thigh sandwich. I'm a prep. I don't mind their jerk chicken sandwich. I lazily go to prep because it's like the

easiest thing. I've got to think about it. I just get the same thing. Chicken Caesar salad baguette, fruit salad and some of those

chocolate rice cake things. Oh yeah. Surprisingly long calories I find. Yeah very nice. Anyway that's probably about as much time.

But no pissing. No pissing. As you've already established. I've got my probably about as much time. But no pissing. No pissing. No, as you've already established. I've got my cable all caught up here. Anyway, let's get out of here, Peter.
