00:00 We will be there again won't we for the Leyton light switch on. I mean you're a regular.

00:03 I've done it a couple of times before.

00:05 I think, I've done it that many times, I should have some kind of electrical qualification now.

00:10 I think at least I would say...

00:12 Have you got the keys to Leyton yet?

00:13 I reckon I've got at least the City and Guilds. Do they still do that?

00:18 I reckon I've got a City and Guilds in electrical engineering.

00:21 We will be there to turn the light on a week on Friday?

00:25 Yeah.

00:26 Christmas is coming.

00:28 Christmas is coming thick and fast. We cannot wait.

00:31 Is it harder than it looks switching Christmas lights on?

00:35 It is.

00:36 It's more nerve-wracking because usually at Leyton light switch it's absolutely chucking it down.

00:40 There's that added element of just...

00:41 And you're standing in the middle of a roundabout.

00:43 What would you rather do in a thunderstorm

00:46 than stand in the middle of a roundabout flicking electrical switches?

00:49 It's nothing what's not entertaining about that.

00:55 So I hope you get some extra compensation for the health and safety risk.

01:00 That's a good point.

01:01 Yeah.

01:02 You should have seen me around the mall.

01:03 We'll probably just have to wear rubber wellies.

01:04 Rubber wellies.

01:05 We'll be without...

01:06 Yeah, that's a very good point.

01:07 Yeah.

01:08 We'll be...

01:09 Watch me and Tom switching lights in rubber boots.

01:10 And then, funnily enough, we'll also be wearing rubber boots at our Christmas party.

01:16 Oh no, I shouldn't say what we're wearing, should I?

01:19 Our Christmas party.

01:20 Rubber boots.

01:21 I told you about wearing rubber boots.

01:22 Did you?

01:23 No, I didn't.

01:24 So you do Leighton light switch on quite a lot.

01:26 Why Leighton?

01:27 What do you like about Leighton?

01:28 The people are very friendly.

01:29 They're nice and friendly people.

01:30 It's lovely.

01:31 And they always...

01:32 I shouldn't really say this, but I get a glass of mulled wine.

01:33 Do you?

01:34 Yeah.

01:35 Did I get a glass of mulled wine last time?

01:36 I think it's three.

01:37 Have you done that too?

01:38 Yes.

01:39 Yeah, I think I've done three.

01:40 Do you have to do three before you get a mulled wine?

01:41 Yeah, you might.

01:42 Next year, if you want to come back with me, I'll get you a mulled wine.

01:43 Oh, thanks.

01:44 I'll let you have a sip.

01:45 Cheers.

01:46 Cheers.

01:47 Cheers.

01:48 Cheers.

01:49 Cheers.

01:50 Cheers.

01:51 Cheers.

01:52 Next year, if you want to come back with me, I'll get you a mulled wine.

01:53 Oh, thanks.

01:54 I'll let you have a sip of wine.

01:55 Go on.

01:56 Sip of me wine.

01:57 We're there for the community and to celebrate Christmas with them and turn the lights on.

02:01 I flipping love Christmas and I love Christmas lights.

02:05 So I am well up for it and we can't wait.

02:08 And it's not going to rain this year.

02:09 No, it's not.

02:10 Because I'm there.

02:11 Yeah, it's going to be a beautiful...

02:12 It's going to be cold and crisp.
