SPEAKER_01 0:20

Welcome back to Copy in the Sun Series 2, Episode 12. This week we're back with another proper catch-up from family days out in Sheppey, birthday celebrations, garden graft, and all the usual chaos. So asking why Britain's roads seem to be falling apart one pothole at a time. Dad's also tackling a very personal listener question, and as always, the dad jokes are absolutely brilliant. That was my little zoo. And I'm not gonna redo that, so let's get it right into it.

SPEAKER_00 0:55

Gore Blimey Governor, it's now time for a bit of a natter.

SPEAKER_01 1:01

Right, so on bit of a natter, I just thought that we would just have a bit of a natter about the week that we've just passed experienced, okay? So this weekend was a busy one. Friday was our ultimate Richard ramble. We picked the kids up from school, headed to the Isle of Sheppey.

SPEAKER_02 1:21

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:21

Which we all know very well because I used to live there for two years. Back to the same beach that we always go to, and we were looking for crabs on the by the sea. Then we were climbing mountains, we were walking through woods. Skimming stones. Skimming stones, the kids were absolutely knackered. Yeah. And I think we've decided that if it's hot, we're going to do something similar every Friday. Okay. Because it just wipes them for the weekend. The boy did say it was our fault that he couldn't wake up on Monday. Oh, really? Because he was so tired. So tired, was he? Yeah, they loved it. Yeah, of course it was. Out there. Yeah. Beach Frame Stone. It doesn't take long to get there, does it? How long is it? What, to Sheppey? Yeah. Well, actually, all the roads had been done. When we lived there, there were there was when you go obviously down this road. One of the reasons we moved back because of the travelling was so bad back back to where obviously Richard works. But now there's this new like super lane and things like that. Not that I wish we still lived there, but I said to Richard, it's nice that we can come back, do the fun bits, and then leave.

SPEAKER_02 2:22

Yeah, leave, yeah, leave it all behind.

SPEAKER_01 2:24

Come back to your mansion. Exactly. What have you been up to this weekend? Weekend, what happened weekend just gone?

SPEAKER_02 2:31

Uh no, you said that you waited in. No, that was Monday. I'd wait for the gas man to come and do hang on, let me get comfortable for this thrilling story. No, I'd wait for the gas man to come. Right. Right, but I've got I've got information that this guy's gonna turn up and do the safety check on the boiler, which they do every year. Yeah. Between eight and eight and one. Yeah. That's right, fair enough. Nice. Then turn up. Right. I went, what's that all about? Maybe they can't find No, no, they know where it is. They they come every year. Maybe they go, all right, oh. Yeah. Maybe Steve Middleton. But there were no no call, nothing to say that you've run in late or anything. So I'll I left at one o'clock, went down to seaside.

SPEAKER_01 3:11

It probably says on your notes, don't turn up. He don't he's not really that bothered about waiting in for five hours.

SPEAKER_02 3:18

Oh, but you know, they s you know, you could be at work, could you could have asked to have time off work. I mean, that's bad that they didn't send any message to say. No, I've got I've got on the Friday, I did get a text message to say, please be in for your safety check. Well, you need to did you complain? Well, no, just rescheduled.

SPEAKER_01 3:36

It's all done, but but you But you should say I waited in, why didn't no one turn up? But I'll just reschedule it for the. You could have got money off your gas bill.

SPEAKER_02 3:43

It's gonna come in on the 8th. Oh well. Could boy it could leak carbon dioxide by then?

SPEAKER_01 3:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:50

Well that's what I'm saying. What was if it if it turned out? You've got a monitor. Oh. I'm up to date. Right. But yeah, so on the yeah, so I went down then after that, I went down the seaside. I watched Chelsea play on the Sunday. Yeah. I actually won a game. Yeah. Wembley. And then I went down to the alien island on the Monday after the the man didn't turn up. So I went down there, came back Tuesday.

SPEAKER_01 4:14

I feel like we do love an island.

SPEAKER_02 4:16

Yeah, yeah. It was nice, actually.

SPEAKER_01 4:18

It was really nice.

SPEAKER_02 4:19

Hailing. It was warm. I know it poured with rain during the night. Yeah. But that doesn't matter, does it?

SPEAKER_01 4:24

I say to Richard every time we go to Sheppey, and I did say this when we lived there, that if you had if you were like a billionaire, like a billionaire, you could transform the Isle of Sheppey into something that would be a place where people would love to go. You know, like they say, where is it, Millionaire's Row? That's by a beach. Where's that?

SPEAKER_02 4:46

No, Millionaire's Row is up by Kingsham Palace. No, but there's another beach one. Oh, is that the one down by um is that what's it called? I don't know. In uh Dorset.

SPEAKER_01 4:55

Yeah, I think so. We've been there before. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. We've been there before. Very lovely. But what I'm saying is it it does have the potential But yeah, that's what I've been doing.

SPEAKER_02 5:05

So Haley was nice. Say it was you know. Same old, same old. Same old thing. No, nice, but it's nice on the it's nice down there, you know. Healing island. It's it's that's its nickname. And we used our friends' speech.

SPEAKER_01 5:16

But we're promoting Hailing Island again. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:18

Well, once you get down there.

SPEAKER_01 5:20

We don't work for the council or whatever it is. And yeah, but and you want a good old-fashioned family day out of Healing Island. In on the beach, yeah. Very nice. So then on the Saturday, it was lovely weather, so we did more gardening. You know, I've been in the garden. Yeah, you have, yeah. And then we couldn't mention anything on social media because we had a surprise 50th birthday in the evening. So that was good. And then Sunday was my mum's birthday. Your mum's birthday, was it? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:48

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:49

The ex's birthday.

SPEAKER_02 5:50

SPEAKER_01 5:52

I don't know. He was on Halen Island. So we went round there and made homemade pizzas in the new pizza oven. Yeah, absolutely. No comments, no comment from the. Oh, sorry. Happy birthday. So essentially a very busy, fun. You always do have a busy weekend, yeah. But then obviously, we get told Monday morning by our pre-teenager that it's how am I gonna stay awake in class? It's your fault. Really? You don't let me rest.

SPEAKER_02 6:25

He was that tired, was he?

SPEAKER_01 6:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 6:27

Okay. My eyes, I can't open him. I got a text from someone saying, uh, my daughter's scooter's in the boot of your car.

SPEAKER_01 6:33

Yeah. That's been her ha a nightmare. I've been using it. Yeah. As soon as I knew where your scoot where her scooter was, I was like, oh no. Yeah. I'm scared to tell her.

SPEAKER_02 6:43

What's gonna bring was gonna drop it back on the because we had I had to go to a funeral on a Thursday. Oh, that's cheery, yeah. You know, another one. Yeah. You're at that age now. Yeah, yeah. So yeah, so I was gonna drop it on the way back.

SPEAKER_01 6:56

Yeah. Well, I was too scared to tell her, so I wrote on a note and slid it under her door. Yeah, but you was uh Grandad stole your scooter. That's what I wrote. James Benud. Yeah. D did she wear the little purple helmet? Yeah, of course. But it's worked out alright because obviously the she had her eye test. She wouldn't have a scooter, wouldn't she? Yeah, but that one's it's broken, it's like rickety, it's like there's a rock in it or something. There's a rock in it? Yeah, then I had the eye training. Oh, like I'm still recovering. Yeah. Although she keeps asking me to drive her to school because she doesn't have a scooter.

SPEAKER_02 7:30

Yeah, fair enough. Well she's getting well, she's getting smart now, is she? Yeah. Oh?

SPEAKER_01 7:33

Bit of a day, would she? I said, yes, my lady. Yes, my lady. So you had a good week. No, no, apart from the gas man not turning up, yeah. Ghosting you.

SPEAKER_02 7:42

I think what happens now, I think I think some of these companies they give them too many. Yeah. And I just can't get round. Anyway, time for a little bit of a moan.

SPEAKER_00 7:50

Adam and Eve it? Would you? I can't believe it. Adam and Eve it.

SPEAKER_01 7:56

Adam and Eve it. Right, so in the week you moaned about something, so I thought we would create the whole section of Adam and Eve about it. Would you like to tell people what you're unhappy about in the UK? It's all these potholes. Potholes. Yeah. Potholes. So if you don't know what a pothole is, obviously you don't live in England or or the United Kingdom. Well, say, let's say oh, some of them are like craters. So explain to anyone listening abroad, because we do have apparently we have listeners, internet international listeners.

SPEAKER_02 8:28

Well, they must have them in other countries. Probably not. It's a pothole is called is it's called What's the technical term for a pothole? Well, it's a pothole, isn't it? Right, it's a pothole, isn't it? It's where the roads don't get fixed. It's a hole in the road. It's a hole in the road, it doesn't get fixed, and it gets bigger and bigger, and various councils just won't go and fix them. And you go down some of the roads like that. And a lot of people have their the wheels damaged, buckled, buckled the tires, tires pop him, you know, pop in, especially on like like on these like expensive motors. Then wheels uh, you know, then you it's all the axles done. And sometimes if it's raining, you can't yeah, it fills up, you can't see them. I mean, some cyclists have been disappeared and nothing been seen. No, but imagine like you're cycling on the road and it's you know, when it gets dark.

SPEAKER_01 9:19

So I know that it fills up. I know already you're gonna what the answer is, but were there this many potholes in the 1970s? Well, no, the horses didn't make that many.

SPEAKER_02 9:30

Yeah, yeah, there was potholes, but then they seem to be fixed. Filled up, well that could be but then but then it's like you're What do you think the causes of how many potholes now are they? Well, because it's a lot of traffic on the roads, then there's more traffic on the road than there used to be. And also, you know, it's a bot's job. Yeah. So they just come, you know, they just don't film properly. But you know, you everyone's paying well, most people are paying the car tax. Where's all that money going? Don't know.

SPEAKER_01 10:02

They are annoying because obviously it's dangerous because you end up moving around them. Well, yeah, of course, it's dangerous, especially for motorcyclists and cyclists. I mean, I went down there a road the other day and I thought I was on Mario Kart.

SPEAKER_02 10:12

Oh no, you did the d but you see some, you go like sometimes out in the country, they're even worse because they're massive. Yeah, and they just fill them in with bits of rock and stuff out there. Well, they just don't seem to do them properly. They they sort of botch it out, and then once uh especially in the winter when the bad weather comes and all that, and it just it just opens up again.

SPEAKER_01 10:32

Well, I'm going to give you some facts that I downloaded from the internet about potholes, okay?

SPEAKER_00 10:39

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 10:40

It might help you understand it a bit more why there's quite a lot of them in a cost of living crisis or whatever. Okay. So apparently in the UK there's over one million potholes. I can imagine. Yeah. And to calculate that down to give you an idea, there's around every mile, there's six potholes.

SPEAKER_02 11:04

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no doubt. Yeah, but it's you know why.

SPEAKER_01 11:08

I mean, how's your car survived? My car is it's built out of technical, don't you worry about my mother? The repair backlog is an estimated 18.6 billion pounds. So that's that's the backlog. Yeah, yeah, cool. And that's how much it's gonna cost, yeah. Well, it seems a bit extreme, doesn't it? Do you think that's not true? Well, that's what it says. 18.6 billion.

SPEAKER_02 11:33

But you think that in this day and age, technology we come up with some sort of you know, stuff to get foam. Let it last.

SPEAKER_01 11:42

Yeah. And the RAC, which is obviously a breakdown person, they handle handled in the last year 26,000 plus pothole breakdowns.

SPEAKER_02 11:54

Yeah, yeah. Well, you imagine like you go over a pot on it and does damage to your car. So, what do you do? Do you pay it out your own money or do you go for your insurance? That means your premiums are gonna are gonna go up. Yeah. It's just the motors are getting done all the time.

SPEAKER_01 12:08

And it costs about£500 average to fix a pot pothole, apparently.£500, I could get I could they need to employ me, I'll be on vintage and I'll find something for a pound. I mean, I can make some of the bigger ones, but the little ones, really. Right, so not to make you even more upset, okay, because obviously there's a backlog of potholes. So let's just say they invented something that could fix all the potholes in the UK, yeah. Because you're 69, yeah, yeah. It's saying that if they were to fix them all now, it would take 12 years. Okay. So let's be honest, for the rest of your driving life, you're just gonna experience.

SPEAKER_02 12:52

Well, bat me wasn't what? Mobility scooter might after having a few years. Yeah. Hopefully the pavements won't have potholes. I I could go down one link.

SPEAKER_01 13:01

We're not gonna be one of those annoying ones on the road. Have you seen them? Yeah, yeah. I know. It's out of order. Can't see it.

SPEAKER_02 13:06

There's one, there's one in uh a man. What is it? A man or in the Royal Hospital, one of the Chelsea pensioners. Yeah. His mobility scooter at the front, it's like a motorcycle. No. No need. And he goes on the road. He's like an old rocker.

SPEAKER_01 13:22

It's like basically saying, I can't drive, so this thing that I am allowed to drive, I'm now gonna do it on the road and cause so much traffic, build up.

SPEAKER_02 13:31

Well, that's well, they made it the pavement, that's why they you've got the drop downs on each junction. That's what it's for.

SPEAKER_01 13:37

But I did see this thing online that obviously now they use tarmac, don't they? And for roads. Yeah. But apparently, cobblestones, yeah, roads, which do have cars drive on them, yeah, don't have any potholes.

SPEAKER_02 13:54

No, that's right. Well, never had them. Like in the Romans, when the Romans on the roads, there was no it's a bit different.

SPEAKER_01 13:59

No, none of them were driving like a Hummer or a Range Rover. No, I mean you think that the weight of someone in the room. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. So they so cobblestones are obviously uncomfortable to drive on. Yeah. So that's probably what it is. It's a comfort thing rather than. But you think you know, it's all the technology you got. So why don't they just put cobblestones in the potholes?

SPEAKER_02 14:18

Yeah. Well just fill them. Well, you're getting enough money off of every drive. Imagine the amount of cars that are on the road and they're getting what's you have trying to quit, trying to and uh this is what happens to every council.

SPEAKER_01 14:29

Yeah, right. We need to do some road works to fix the potholes and other things. Right, we've got all year to do it, but what we'll do is we'll do it just as the kids start to go back to school. Yeah. And call so forget the six weeks' holiday where we could do it all. Well, she got done, isn't she?

SPEAKER_02 14:47

The Ministry of Transport by a pothole. She got her car got damaged by a pothole. Karma. Are you thinking, well, you know, just do something about it?

SPEAKER_01 14:54

Karma. So so yeah, obviously, no one's going to be listening to this and justifying potholes.

SPEAKER_02 15:01

No, not at all. Because well, and also road works. There seems to be so many road works about. Yeah. No one working on them. You know, they dig it all and go off somewhere else.

SPEAKER_01 15:10

You're gonna say that thing about China, aren't you? China. That their bridge could fall down. You think this is what you think of China, don't you? That a whole building will fall down, a bridge will fall down, and by 12 o'clock in the afternoon it's back up again. Double size. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:30

But I mean that that one where that bridge, well that bridge, they had a big sinkhole, didn't they? One of their bridges. Done within a week. Feel done.

SPEAKER_01 15:37

And then they built the road around it. Yeah, but they they repaired it within a week. But that can't be that can't just be down to enthusiasm.

SPEAKER_02 15:46

No, yeah, but I don't think their workers they do work to you go past some of these roadworks, yeah. If one bloke dig and the other's six are leaning on their shovels, all looking in. Yeah, I do think it's uh you know, there's reasons why we won't go back. Especially on a Friday, they pack up at two o'clock, don't they? Go on for the weekend. Not like China. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:06

That's my um just fix it out, just do it. So inventors out there, forget sustainability, forget climate change, and all reasons that you're researching how to prevent those. Take a little bit of the budget and work out what you can put in a pothole to make it not come back again.

SPEAKER_02 16:27

Miliban who's he wants net zero, doesn't he? I don't know what that is. He wants net z he wants zero energy and all that, he wants anything to be green and all that, he wants to have a f one in get rid of their boiler, have a fuel pump. He wants people to have the solar panels on his on everywhere. Yeah. Ain't got no solar panels. No. He ain't got a heat pump. So he's just a hypocrite. No. He knows he ain't gonna work. Shut up, Ed Middleman. And what's that? There's another I can't remember what company is. They're gonna they were gonna get rid of making the petrol cars and do the cars, but because the the sales of electric cars are gone down here, they're still gonna be making the cars. Well, they ain't gonna give both, because our little sorry, great grandchildren.

SPEAKER_01 17:12

Here we go, look, we could do it. If you're listening, great, great, great Middletons. We're sorry that we messed up your planet, but please let us know somehow if that pothole has finally been fixed. I mean, the amount of pedestrians I've had to swerve and hit so my car doesn't get damaged is terrible. That was a joke, by the way. For entertainment value. Yeah. Right. I'm excited for this one. I think you're gonna stutter a lot. There's gonna be a lot of editing on this. Do you have? Yeah. Well, no, on this question. Okay. This next one, yeah. Say it like Steve. It's a question from a listener.

SPEAKER_00 17:47

Ooh.

SPEAKER_01 17:48

Don't sugarcoat it. Sometimes in life, you just gotta say it like Steve. It's a quite a simple question, but it's probably a complicated answer, which you're probably gonna stutter and I might be right now. This will be the quickest say it like Steve section we've ever had. Okay. So this is from A. Davis. A Davis.

SPEAKER_02 18:08

A Davis. No, I don't know that name, I don't think.

SPEAKER_01 18:11

Okay. A Davis. Steve, why haven't you ever remarried? Why have I remarried? Why have you never why have Is that an offer? Well, I don't know. Let's not just assume it's a woman. Just to give everyone, just to give everyone a ballparking number. So 1995, it's now 2026. How many years is that? We're just gonna pause for a brief one.

SPEAKER_02 18:39

Well, you know, once you, you know, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 18:42

You haven't met the right person, you might be bothered.

SPEAKER_02 18:44

I'm not but not being bothered, you know, once, once, you know.

SPEAKER_01 18:48

So marriage is off the table. You should never say that, because you might be like 90 in a home. Yeah. Yeah. Because I need to keep this podcast studio because I can't convert that into a bedroom. And I read, no, I saw the other day that a couple got married in a retirement home. Really? Because they both obviously met each other. I'm sure that happens a lot. Yeah, of course, I should imagine. Yeah. So you never know.

SPEAKER_02 19:13

No, no, I don't know. It's just uh We like a wedding. It's never happened, is it? You know? And I'm quite happy to be single, isn't it? Single and ready to mingle. Ain't got a no stress. Could people say, Why'd you look young for your age? Well, I'm not married, am I? No stress. So come and do come and go as I please, do what I want. So there's no one reason having married. You know, some people they You're too independent now. You couldn't share your life sometimes. No, yeah, but no, I could imagine it'd be like imagine like if if it it sort of happened and they come into your place and they start moving bits of van, I'll be going, what are you doing?

SPEAKER_01 19:54

Where where did my only fools and horses memorabilia go? Oh because the f the the Robin Reliant was there, is now over there.

SPEAKER_02 20:04

Leave them records alone.

SPEAKER_01 20:05

Yeah. Yeah, I mean you went on a date and you go, What music do you like? I like anything. Madness? No, I can't stand them. Yeah. See you later then. Yeah, bye.

SPEAKER_02 20:15

Yeah, no, but it's yeah, I don't know, it's just that's never happened, you know. Once never say never. No, true, but you know what, you know, the the thought of being rejected again. Right.

SPEAKER_01 20:28

We're not gonna go into the terms and conditions of the divorce.

SPEAKER_02 20:32

Yeah. After that, it just not happens, you know, it's one of those things, isn't it? Fine. There we go. But you know, everyone out there. But a lot of people a lot of people don't, you know, some people don't remarry, do they? They quite happy. Some people get married a lot.

SPEAKER_01 20:45

Yeah. No.

SPEAKER_02 20:48

I thought I was gonna get through a whole episode without having to edit then anything out. Some people just can't live on their own.

SPEAKER_00 20:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:54

You know, they need they do need a partner, you know?

SPEAKER_01 20:57

Well I actually think, fingers crossed, I might break the curse. Wow, what curse? And be the only middle in or or who's been married for the for the set to the same person. Oh, you mean uh yeah, yeah, maybe. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_02 21:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 21:22

Who would have fought? Generations of generations and I had to take one for the team.

SPEAKER_02 21:27

Um yeah, because yeah. So yeah, because all the those there's members of the family that have uh you know. My dad was he ran off. Well, there we go. He ran off when I was only nine.

SPEAKER_01 21:41

Exactly. So when the great uh the grandchildren ask about a family history, uh well, I'll just go back as far as me. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I won't go.

SPEAKER_02 21:49

No, I mean going back to the question, you know, it's well you haven't met the right person. Maybe, and also even if I did mean the right person, it's no guarantee that you want. get married again, you know. Do people get married these days? Yeah, I'm married. I know you're married, but I mean today is it a major thing like it used to be?

SPEAKER_01 22:06

I think so, yeah. I don't think uh I don't think it's as m as many because obviously back in the day, your day, most people were well not not as frowned upon to be married without a kid, right? Oh yeah, so yeah yeah wedlock and all that yeah whereas before it was that's why loads of people probably got married before.

SPEAKER_02 22:24

But you know oh that's that is a good reason to get married but then it don't always work out then you end up splitting up anyway.

SPEAKER_01 22:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:32

And you know you you could end up on bad terms you know and that's not fair for the kids. No.

SPEAKER_01 22:38

But now So A da final A Davis Yeah the reason is because you're just not that bothered.

SPEAKER_02 22:48

No not really no not that bothered I mean if that's an are you asking I mean if that's an offer you know is she rich?

SPEAKER_01 22:53

I don't know. Can we see your bank accounts please? Anyone what card you got? Yeah do you know Suggs? Can I go report Can I go report? So you didn't really give an answer you basically just haven't really been in that situation. Well don't you have a bottle because obviously if you had met someone and because I know those people that'll be like I don't want kids and then they meet someone and then they really want kids that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_02 23:21
