00:00Oh, there we go. Hello, James. Hi, Thelma.
00:03We're all good in the next week.
00:05How are you finding things? Obviously, it's really hard with lockdown and everything,
00:09but how are you both and how are you managing?
00:12We're managing very well.
00:14We've got some very good staff.
00:17And the staff.
00:21It looks like Susan and her team have done a great job.
00:24James, are we right in saying, did you witness the bombing in London, in the Blitz?
00:29Did you remember seeing that?
00:31Oh, yeah. I was on fire watching. I was about 17.
00:34And the bomb burst across the road and bloomed into the bushes.
00:38That took me to Bournemouth Hospital.
00:40It freed me. It wasn't bad.
00:42Anyway, we got back and my father said, that's it.
00:44We go back to London.
00:46We moved in on a Saturday afternoon and we were bombed out on the same Saturday evening.
00:52And my mum said to my father, when we were covered, she took him down.
00:56And she said, she's a real cocky woman.
00:59And she said, I knew we bloody both should have stayed in Bournemouth.
01:02I'm so sorry about the drama and you were going to come out.
01:02I'm just going to let the camera cross out, go back to the camera.
01:02That's so what you'd be doing.
01:02So, it's just, it's just me to get a lot ofousness.
01:03I'm so sorry.
01:03I'm going to do it.
01:03Go back in your eyes.
01:04And I'm now, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry.
