it's the luke and pete show i'm pete donaldson i'm joined by luke moore it's a thursday i do hope you're keeping well oh and it getting warm aren't the lights nights getting longer oh lovely lukey lovely yeah clocks go forward soon exciting you get an hour less in bed for one night in response but in return you get a good six months of great quality evenings. Great quality evenings. I think we're allowed to now meet one friend out outside for a beer. Is that true? Have you done that yet, Luke? I saw two young men with some desperados sat on a –

you know the gates they have to open and close on the canal. I saw two lads sat there and they were just polishing off some Desperados. That looks nice. They do sound cool, except they're drinking Desperados, which are abhorrent. Were they cool? Did you want to be a part of it? I did kind of, but then that would have been, that would have,

if you joined, I guess you'd ruin their day because that's a three now, you can't do that. So I think the change has been, as far as I understand it, the change is that you are allowed to meet one person outside your household, outside for exercise purposes. I think you're now allowed to do it for leisure purposes, I believe. But I'm not an expert in these Byzantine rules that exist in our lives these days.

All right. So I haven't done it yet. Lawrence, calm it down, mate. All right. What I have done is what i do most of the time anyway because i'm 40 i've enjoyed a can of guinness in my living room i like it look i like it i've run out you bought me some tisky's very kindly before christmas i've run out of them a little while ago so i need to get my fix honey i'll send you another another slab

of them apparently they're problematic these You can't drink anything these days. We've got to find another. Now, I think there's a Weechigs or something like that. There's another poor slab I want to try. Yeah, let's have a lech. Let's try a lech. What was I going to say? I had quite the adventure on Saturday, Loki Moore.

Go on. I live off a private road. Didn't know it was a private road when we moved in. Didn't know this, for some reason, the private road is down to us to maintain.

It's basically just a dirt road with a load of like dirty old rocks that people drive over. It's ironic, Peter, because you're the exact person that exists for the reason

that people have private roads. Exactly. So you're supposed to be keeping me out. You've infiltrated. But there's just loads of potholes. Since we moved in, the road has gone to absolute shit. And I don't know what it is, but there's just massive potholes and there's big puddles and stuff.

And, oh, I mean, for people with decent suspension and their big Range Rovers around here, the old Chelsea tractors, they're fine. But with me and my little little scooter it really hurts the bum bum so uh a lot of people uh some mysterious benefactors sort of rocked up with a with a a big digger full of dirt um and and uh proceeded to um just basically pour on the floor and it was our job as residents of this private road to uh just pick up the soil and put and fill in the potholes and fill in the road. Um, the only thing is that I didn't have, um,

a trowel or a spade or anything that was useful, uh, in this particular job. And I had to just use a sturdy brush. Um, and I was embarrassed and I was mortified and I just felt emasculated quite frankly. Did people judge you? Uh, yeah, but luckily, the dirt arrived earlier than they said it was going to arrive. It was supposed to be arriving at 10.

We were going to start at 10. That was the agreement, the tacit agreement across the road. That's when it was going to start. And then a lot of people, and then the people just started. I think people were just raring to get going. They hadn't spoken to a lot of people,

so they were raring to get going for a chat and a bit of a literal muck spreading. And yeah, and I got a certain time. So people started turning up like an hour late once the digger had already left a long time ago. So they were really upset that they looked lazy. So nobody really noticed the fact that I was woefully unprepared

with my big yellow sturdy brush. How did they get in touch with you to invite you along? Paper through the door. Paper through the door. It wasn't one of those, read it, read it, let us understand them, Zoom calls. It was a bit like that. The vibe was a little bit like that.

But I learned there's two doors down. There's a man who, as a job, does VR. Does virtual reality, mate. I'm like, what? Tell us more about that. You live two doors down there's a man who uh as a job does vr does virtual reality mate i'm like what you live two doors down from it he does virtual reality for like medicine and can you imagine if you're building a 3d world and it's just guts can you imagine the disgusting uh textures you've got to have on your computer just loads of heart heart oozing ventricles and bloody guts and stuff. I think you're his worst nightmare as a neighbour. You're just going to ask him loads of questions about it. Tell me about the textures.

Tell me how you make the bodies so shiny and stuff. But we had a little natter about that. Then a couple of doors down after that, he came over. He was a Geordie. He was a Ramble fan who came over and said hello. And weirdly, I'm felt sorry for him his kid his little ben came up and uh full newcastle kit i was like oh man i'm so sorry that i mean that's your fault that oh bless him so yeah who's your favorite neighbor was really neighbors you didn't like come on honest. No, there's a man down the road who's just always out.

I've told you, he's always just out of his house. Baldi block. He's just not allowed in his house, I don't think. And he's got one of those kit cars that looks like a Formula One car that he spends time tuning up every weekend. But he just never spends any time in his house. He's always just marching up and down, being a knobby gnoll, in my opinion. One of my neighbours, I don't know if I told you this,

but one of my neighbours on Christmas Day spent the entire afternoon on the street outside our house with a can of beer and a load of cans of beer on the wall. And if someone walked past on Christmas Day, he offered them a beer and people would stand around talking to him. And he was out there for about five hours. I like it. He's got a wife and two daughters.

I don't think he gets much peace. I thought he was just trying to escape for the day. I think so. Lovely. I think a lot of time for that. I like the idea that Christmas Day, that's my time. That's my time. Not a time for family or for kids.

That's my time. Yeah, that seems a bit weird. How old's they been? His daughters would be like, I don't know, 10 and 12 or something. But the reason I asked you as to how your neighbours got in touch is because my wife joined the street WhatsApp group. Oh, yes.

I wonder if there's a WhatsApp group, because I don't think they'd like my memes. Your memes are very dank. Yeah, they're the dankest of memes. Yeah, I mean, you take a meme of your standard, which even in media-centric London would be considered to be quite high on the dank scale. You take that to fucking Berkhamstead.

People aren't going to notice. Hit them, mate. Yeah, they're pretty naughty. Pretty naughty, mate. Have you sent any good dank memes to your dad recently? No, he's what's he been up to? We were sharing a love of

switching the corner of which changing the order in which your fridge opens. He did his recently and I copycatted him. He was telling me a story about he used to work in a hospital. He's done loads of jobs in the land, minor, bloody chemical plant worker. But one of his jobs when I was young, he used to work in a hospital

and he's an electrical engineer. So he would fix any bits of instrument that needed to be fixed, like a defibrillator or all the stuff that floated around. So a pretty important job because you don't want things like heart rate monitors going down there. You don't want ECG machines going down on you, so to speak. And he said that this specialist rocked up with this machine he'd bought on the internet.

And it was basically just like a spark plug uh on a wire it was like a wire on a spark plug with a with a charge through it and he just bought it off didn't he'd heard about this new way of zapping uh kidney stones and he and he decided he wanted to use it in in his surgery and it just sounds like the 80s were like the fucking barber surgeon days or something and i was like it sounds like the 80s were like the fucking barber surgeon days or something and i was like it sounds like the eu you know the eu and you know higher standard of care just sounds like sounds like it was needed to be honest dad it sounds like it was their body that he taken from a grave there's loads of times like specialists would just turn up and go off i've

bought this off the internet and it's just a, it sends an electrical pulse through like a spark plug. And so my dad's like, right, okay. And so it was his job to ratify electrical things for use in surgery. Should your dad be doing that? Is he good to do that? He was qualified to. Doesn't he wear a necklace containing the bone of one of his feet? Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's not a good look. That was pre-bone in his foot. I think necklace containing the bone of one of his feet? Yeah, yeah.

I mean, that's not a good look. That was pre-Bourne in his... I think he still had all his bones in his feet. Okay. But he... Yeah, and this guy, this specialist said, I want to use this in surgery.

And he went, right. So how do I test it? Like, what is it? And he's got a word, just explodes kidney stones. And my dad was like... What else does it explode? There are rules.

Yeah, exactly. I mean, there are rules about electrical currents through the body because it does stop hearts and start them. And as long as you do it twice, it's fine.

Did it come accompanied with an Eddie Murphy putting his temple gif going, can't get kidney stones if I've exploded your kidney? Exactly, yeah. And once again, you said he's Eddie Murphy,

he's not Eddie Murphy. Who is it? It's just a dude. I can't remember where it's from. I thought the whole point of it was it was Eddie Murphy. No, I didn't mean Eddie Murphy. I don't know. You blind maniac. Oh dear. Pete, by the way,

speaking of that. Yeah, go on. No, go on, carry on carry on sorry you carry on you finish well I just said so he wrote so my dad rang the company who came up with this fucking spark plug

kidney stone exploder and went right it's not called that whatever it is yeah I need you I need a schematic to sort of say

like what voltage is coming down this what where was this made because I can't sign off I can't put a little sticker saying tested tested by Stewie D if he's going to explode someone's fucking brain with it this made i because because i i can't sign off i can't put a little sticker saying tested tested by stewie d if he's gonna explode someone's fucking brain with it yeah i need i need the

schematics i need i need proof of why it works or how it could go wrong um the bloke went look just i haven't got a schematic we'll just put a uh tree by extra mint in a in a glass of water just explode it what and my dad's like I'm not giving this a sticker but I also don't like the idea of being sat at a doctor's surgery with a complaint and he comes in and he says right Mr Moore come in sit down

we've seen your chart and you're ready to do a procedure when you're now to alleviate these symptoms and me says thank you very much procedure and you're now to alleviate these symptoms. And me said, thank you very much, doctor. What are you going to be using? And he just pulls a curtain back and goes, we're going to be using the spark plug kidney stone exploder.

I don't want it called that. Call it something else because that is not relaxing me. That's not a good bedside man. Why has he got electrical tape all over it? Has this been ratified by Stewie Donaldson? We're led to believe that you've eaten a few too many tree ball strong mints. No, that's not the problem. Can I point you in the direction of a photo I've just sent you

on WhatsApp? My dad sent me through the latest picture of the bench he's made in lockdown. So regular listeners will know that my old man has started building benches in lockdown. And he sent me a picture of one the other day, of one in progress. That's astonishingly good looking. It's great, right?

It looks good, doesn't it? Beautiful. Absolutely lovely. Yeah. Wow. Lovely bit of polish on the wood as well. Fantastic. He's making like three or four of them, not for commercial purposes, just to give to various

members of the family because he's a good egg. He's keeping him busy. You'll notice he's got a pair of Kevlar safety shoes on as well. He's all about that life. If that bit of wood falls down on his feet, he's going to be a big bother.

Speaking of our dads and feet problems, my dad's got no toenail on his big toe because he got so annoyed with it being ingrown all the time, he just pulled it off. Does it not grow again? He kept pulling it off.

We grow again, he kept pulling it off. That's a horrible thing to have to sort of go through. Yeah. Has he tried a spark plug on a stick? Yeah, it's basically not growing back. So God knows what he's done to it because you'd think it would keep growing back. I got the middle fingernail on my left hand.

I'll tell you about that. I slammed off in a door once and it was astonishingly painful. Oh, yeah. Horrible. It goes off flat and then black and then falls off. Gross. Absolutely gross. Anyway, that's a nice way to end the first half, I'd say. Horrible. It just goes off flat and then black and then falls off. Gross. Absolutely gross.

Anyway, that's a nice way to end the first half, I think. Benches, kidney stone exploders, fingernails, toenails, all sorts going on. Let's have a break. When we come back, we're going to do... What are we going to do? Loads more of this type of stuff, I suppose. We'll see you in a minute. Do you want to fight, Luke?

Yeah. Yeah, let's have a fight. I think I beat you in to fight, Luke? Yeah. Yeah, let's have a fight. I think I'd beat you in a fight. Yeah, you probably would, but I'm a lover, not a fighter. You're tired at the moment, that's why. I'm tired. I'll take you now. I'm a tired boy.

I've had a busy old week, trying to wrangle electronics left, right and centre. Enjoy it. The closest I've come to having a fight with you, and it's not very close, is when we got pissed together once and you kept drawing on me in biro that sounds like me but i don't recall the evening question officer yeah and i think at one point you you you started drawing on my arm in biro and uh because i was wearing a t-shirt and i kind of got used to it i thought i can't be bothered to have a round like this. It feels nice, doesn't it, after a while?

Yeah. And then I looked down, you were drawing a Red Hot Chili Peppers logo on my arm. Is it because you had... Why do I think that you've got the Red Hot Chili Peppers tattooed on you? Because I know you've got some Chinese writing. I did have that byrope. Looking cool, mate.

I'm disappointing. Pete, we should do some battery brands because it's Thursday. People keep sending them in. We need to tell them if a new player has entered the game. We're always on the lookout for random brands of batteries. I'm going to start with Joseph Eddington. And, Pete, I'm going to give you the name. I want you to tell me whether you think it's a new player or not,

and then I'll ratify the decision. Okay. So Joseph Eddington, good name by the way, has sent in Thunderbolt Magnums. Oh, we must have had a Thunderbolt Magnum, surely. I mean, that just seems the most obvious name you could give a battery, surely? Well, I looked at the

photo of it and I thought it was a new player. Right. Okay. I'm going to put that on the list, but there's going to be an asterisk next to it, just in case. Okay, fine. Well, asterisk or an asterisk? What did I say? Asterisk, didn't I? I said asterisk, didn't I? Asterisk is a French...

By the way, is asterisk problematic now, the same way Tintin is? I mean, he just hung out with Obelisk. He hung out with Obelisk and Merlin, the magician or something, didn't he? I can't remember their adventures. I mean, I'll tell you what, I'm a little bit fucked up,

speaking of tattoos. Cat in the Hat. Cat in the Hat's been fucking cancelled and I've got him on my bloody leg. Unbelievable. Terrible scenes. Let's be honest. People who know you fairly well would have known

it's only a matter of time before one of the many tattoos you've got becomes cancelled. Yeah, uh-huh. And, I mean, Manny Calavera. What's Dr. Seuss done then? I think, who made Dr. Seuss? Was it Dr. Seuss? Who made Dr. Seuss?

He has other problematic, he drew, he did a lot of, like, awful drawings. I didn't know that. I'd only read Cat in the Hat, to be honest. When you're a kid, I was 18 when I got the tattoo, but when you're a kid, you just like, you just read it. You don't really sort of take a second glance really. But yeah, I think he's just got, he's a bit like Robert Crumb. He's just a dirty little weirdo in many ways.

Who could have thought it? Yeah. Look at his output. I know, right? Anyway, so I think Thunderbolt Magnum is a yes. Unfortunately,

Joseph, you need both of us to sign off on that. So take it up with Pete. Ian, the pool guy, sent a lovely brand. So Pete,

they're called Homework. Right. But the Ohm bit is actually an Ohm as in... Yeah. That is a new player a new player i'm ratifying that right now don't even need two signatures on that one that is a new player well done you it is and it's also got the graphics on the battery itself i've got a load of symbols for the male and female

um so yeah male and female symbols all over it it's a strange strange product but well done to you ian the pool guy chris knolls sent in free go f-r-e-e-g-o free go i don't think they're a new player i don't think really okay i think it might be a new player you know free go it's like free willy kind of right yeah we'll come back to you on that yeah chris but so we should have people all over up and down the country all over the world in fact checking their remote controls their off brand electronic devices to see if they can find yet more

off brand batteries they're everywhere everywhere you move being very stringent though we're not letting any old losers in to be quite frank something that someone sort of mentioned a little something that i mentioned a little while ago i couldn't remember who did the song that featured the lyrics the roof is on fire now oh there's obviously like a few songs that they're featuring but uh kyle

has got in touch as indeed a lot of people did but uh kyle um kyle's email got me got me first uh howdy probably already answered but his answer peach query from a couple of weeks ago about the origin of the roof the roof the roof is on fire the lyric was originally from an 80s hip-hop tune by rockmaster scott and the dynamic three with the track called the roof is on fire if you listen to the song you will also know a probably more film snippet sampled by the chemical brothers at the start of the song also the bloodhound gang used the lyric and then the new metal band call chamber then used it on their track swear when new metal was at its peak and i think that's where i probably heard it first the roof the roof

the roof is on fire etc etc i never i never really considered um cold chamber to be new metal oh i thought they were more like a i thought thought they were more like quite like dark metal or alternative metal or something. No, it was very new metal. I think them and Fear Factory back in the day. Remember them? Yeah, let's not get into metal subgenres

because we will literally be here all day. But fair enough. Fair enough. Good to go. Nice to get that cleaned up. So Pete, on Monday, we talked a bit about Skittles, didn't we?

With our dear friend, Ali. They're made to make you mouth water. Yeah. They're made to make you mouth water. Yeah. They're made to make you mouth water. That's opal fruits, Pete. That's opal fruits. Starburst. Thank you, cunt. Starburst.

You little cunt. Yeah, I've embarrassed myself there. Anyway, who was it? Kevin. Kevin's been in touch about minstrels. I said, look, great stuff about skittles. Let in touch about minstrels i said look great stuff about skittles let's talk about minstrels picked up picked up the minstrel baton no no imagine that it would be really brittle and it would be melting as soon as you put it in your hand disgusting but i'd like to see yeah i wonder whether you can even call them minstrels these

days you can still have minstrels yeah probably? I think that'll be the next thing that happens. Yeah, probably. To be honest, that'll be the next thing that happens because, I mean, that is problematic if you are any kind of studier of American history. Anyway, anyway, they're called minstrels for now. We have to go with it. Kevin says, long time listener, first time emailer,

listening to the podcast, I thought i would use the free email service very good it is free we bear all the costs of the email service so you don't have to um in fact we use a broker don't we pete yeah broker yeah this is um an email gives us the best price on emails um a lot of our emails are be have been released as uh non is it fungible or fungible um works of art um that you can actually get get involved in if you want we also um we have a tracker email so it goes up and down with the bank of anglia and the email interest rate anyway kevin says this is i'll tell you what never will you find an email that starts more excitingly than this, right? If this doesn't get you excited, then you're dead inside.

I thought I'd tell you about the time I visited the Mars confectionery factory in Slough. Yes, please. Can you imagine how sickening the smell is inside the Mars factory? Can you imagine how cloying? Gross. Uddingston in Scotland is where the Tonics factory is and it smells of caramel all year round.

Nice. I like that. Kevin ramps up the excitement stakes by saying, at the time I was working for a major high street retailer, brackets, WH Smith. Just said WH Smith. Yeah, exactly. And we got invited to see how all the products were produced. In the middle of the factory floor,

there was what i could only describe as something that looked like and was the size of a passenger plane without wings right what was odd was that it was generating the sound of the sea with the tide splashing against the shore and the waves washing in and out as i got closer i was still none the wiser what this giant machine was it seemed a bit like an over-the-top relaxation device for the workers at the factory right but what it actually was peter and this is a callback and you're going to enjoy it what it actually was was the machine that they loaded the dull brown chocolate minstrels onto and allowed to rub against each other to shine them up, giving them the highly polished look you will be used to

and will enjoy when you eat the aforementioned galaxy minstrel, the humble galaxy minstrel. They are shined up, made to look shiny, in a giant passenger plane without wings. They're made to make your mouth water, as the advert says. So why was it playing like kind of music from... I think that was just the sound it makes.

Oh, right, okay. Nice, I like that a lot. Yeah, so... You think about it, if you've got millions of minstrels going back and forward in a big passenger plane without wings, probably going to make that kind of sound, right?

Yeah, but how do they know that... I mean, I guess they must fill the whole thing up because you don't want them to be too shiny. You don't want people getting blinded by their minstrels when they get them out of the packet. So you presumably have to fill up the bin, start the gentle rolling of the minstrels in the passenger plane without wings,

and then get rid rather than just keep pouring and keep emptying it. Would you like to dive in like scrooge mcduck yeah yeah because i reckon if you just got big old scoopy handfuls and threw them in the air um they do some damage i think if you're right definitely you wouldn't want to be hit with one of them plumbing the eye no definitely not horrible horrible business um apparently also i was looking this up earlier and um galaxy minstrels were the first confectionery. They used the phrase, melt in your mouth, not in your hand.

People think that was the M&Ms, but it was the M&Ms later. It was originally the minstrels. Right, okay. And they're made to make your hand water. That was the original as well. Kevin's got a little PS to his email, a little addendum. He says, as an ex-resident of Berkhamstead and someone who

used to go out regularly to Hemel Hempstead I'm surprised the subject of the Magic Roundabout road system has not yet been discussed as Hemel Hempstead along with Swindon and High Wickham seem to be the only places in the UK with this bizarre road system now I know the Magic Roundabout in Swindon have you experienced

as a moped rider yourself Peter have you experienced the Magic Roundabout in Swindon. Have you experienced, as a moped rider yourself, Peter, have you experienced the Magic Roundabout system in Berkhamstead? No, I don't think there's one in Berkhamstead. I think Hemel is the big one. But, yeah, I've flirted with it. I just think as soon as I start getting on a roundabout, that is a recipe for disaster. I'm going to end up underneath a truck or something.

Awful, awful business. Yeah, we don't want that to happen. For those of you who can just hear that, my cat's just come into the room. He's obsessed with the spare room. He goes mental. I don't let him in. So I've had to let him in.

Yeah. He would probably be equally as endangered as you in a roundabout, Peter. We don't want the cats to go near the main road. Thank you very much. But the Swindon Magic Roundabout, so for those who live overseas i'm digressing the the magic roundabout in swindon now if you're in a if you're an american listener you're gonna call it i think a rotary

and they call it a rotary you don't get many of them but we call them roundabouts and they're everywhere in the uk the magic roundabout swindon peach got a little tiny roundabout in the middle and five roundabouts orbiting it yeah it's incredible i don't really know why they thought it was a good idea everyone has trouble on it and i don't know what like and sat nav certainly have a lot of trouble because there's just always there's always there's like three exits on h1 and you're like where do i it's like um Do you remember the video game... Not video game, a board game, Downfall? Do you remember those little interchangeable little circles?

I never had it. Oh, yes, I do. But I remember seeing it in the Argos catalogue and it kind of looked like that was the caper going on. Actually, speaking of bloody board games, mate. Had a spin-off film as well, didn't it? Say again? Had a spin-off movie as well, didn't it? Say again? Had a spin-off movie as well,

although that was about something different. Yeah, never mind that game. But I found out this week, I cannot believe this, Screwball Scramble. Screwball Scramble. Everyone loves Screwball Scramble. It's my favourite. It was my favourite toy growing up.

I loved... It was like a little obstacle course where you had to get a marble across this kind of quite complex mechanical little ball bearing. What did I say? Marble. All right, ball bearing. Marble.

What's the difference between a marble and a ball bearing? And, yeah, you had to get through this maze, and there was different kind of aspects. Some would be, again, balance. Some would be like a wobbly little part of the maze and stuff. Yeah, and it had all different buttons and different actions, and it was like a littlebly little part of the maze and stuff. Yeah, a little. And it had all different buttons and different actions, and it was like a little activity center, and you'd have to get this ball around this maze.

And it's been there. They started making it in, I think, 1976, 1977. So it's been going for a hell of a long time, and it's never let up in its popularity. And then last year, last year, someone, the company that owned the license, made a second level to it. Now, I didn't know about this.

I would count myself as being a big fan of Screwball Scramble, but they made a second level. Of course, it's not as good. Of course, it's not as polished. There's a lot more chance going on in the game, which I don't necessarily like. How do you buy it? You just buy it where you usually buy your Tomey toys. But it's a physical board game, right?

But it's a physical board game, and they've just said Screwball Scramble 2, the next level. I cannot believe they've decided to make another one without there being a real hoo-ha about it. This is bigger than Harry and Meghan's. This is goddamn Screwball Scramble, for crying out loud. It's a part of everyone's history in the UK. I would recommend watching the Screwball Scramble

world record speed run on YouTube. It is incredibly fast. I mean, it is absolutely ridiculous how fast they do it. Yeah. I would recommend that. I would say the record is probably about 12 seconds. And the pleasing thing about it, if you remember, the final bit of Scruple Scramble,

I'm going to do the action on the camera now, it would go in the little arm, wouldn't it? Yeah. And just flick it over quick enough to ding the bell. Yeah. Beautiful. Great stuff. Great days.

Great days. How do they do the first bit as a wobbly walkway? Do they flip it from the start of the wobbly walkway down the down to the end very quickly or just do it really quickly just just smooth just traditional mate oh so there's no flicks there's no there's no shoreboarding it's they just do the the right thing quicker not that i can remember i got into a bit of a scruble scramble um youtube um hole about i don't know a couple years ago i just remember take a lot of pc we need to end with this all right we we need to end with this email peter uh because we've had charlie's got in touch and he's talked about place names you know we've talked about amusing place names near where people live

charlie says um near me in deepest darkest Essex are the following places. There is a thing ring ho. Sorry? Thing? A thing ring ho. Oh, lovely. And a road quite near him, Turkey Cock Lane. Turkey Cock Lane.

I like that. I looked up Turkey Cock Lane. I suppose they must do. Yeah. I thought they have clackers. What do birds have? Clackers. Clackens.

I can't remember now. Yeah. Clackens. I've never even heard that word before. What are you talking about? Is it clacker? Clacker. Don't birds have clackers?

Or am I thinking of pigs? I don't know. You're right. Yeah, clackers. I'm fairly certain that's a real word. I looked up turkey cock lane, and I just thought to myself, why are they still calling it that? Yeah, it just seems...

You can see why they've named it like that. The genesis of the word is pretty clear, but you're just thinking of a turkey with a big old hwanger. Anyway, it's in Colchester if you're interested. I thought I'd round off by just adding a couple of place names to the mix. I looked up Turkey Cock Lane. I looked it up on Rightmove, see if there's any places for sale. There was one really nice looking detached cottage.

But I thought, I don't care how competitively priced it is, I don't want to live on Turkey Cock Lane. Don't want it.ly priced it is. I don't want to live on Turkey Cock Lane. Don't want it. No, thank you. Well, what an auspicious end to celebrating the podcast. The Luke Pitcher will be back on Monday. We love you very much. Stay out of trouble.
