Pennod 4 Y Salon

-.

-Hello, Cath.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-There's plenty of groaning

-in Y Salon this week.

-Straight up.

-What do you feed it?

-Everyone has a view

-about the week's events.

-No-one's looking after pensioners.

-They're leaving you out to rot.

-If you can't afford it,

-don't buy it. Simple.

-They call it Great Britain. I don't

-think it is a Great Britain now.

-At the beginning of the week,

-there was plenty of love.

-There's a National Hello Day

-this week. Hello!

-Have you said hello to everyone?

-Have you said hello to everyone?

-

-You always do, Mared.

-I saw Mother this morning.

-I said hello.

-Was it after the Yom Kippur War?

-I have no idea!

-1973.

-It had been a terrible war.

-A lot of people were killed.

-Someone, I don't know who, decided

-to introduce a National Hello Day...

-..to show it was better to talk

-to people than fight them.

-Do you say hello to people?

-No. I hate it.

-Saying hello to people you know

-is different.

-I don't just say hello to anyone.

-People will think I'm deranged.

-Wales is a welcoming nation.

-Carys' sister lives in London.

-She says don't say hello to anyone.

-She says don't say hello to anyone.

-

-Don't say hello to anyone?

-Put your head down

-and do your own thing.

-I went on the tube and I'd sat next

-to this bloke for five minutes.

-By then, I should have known

-everything about him.

-"Hello!" He was like, "Hey."

-"How's was your day?" "Good."

-Had that been in Wales...

-..you'd have known the colour

-of his pants in five minutes.

-Guaranteed you would have been

-related to him.

-Exactly.

-You can lift someone's spirits

-just by saying hello...

-..and giving them a smile.

-It's Black Friday week.

-An opportunity to bag a bargain?

-Or push yourself

-further into the red?

-I don't know if it's worth it.

-Things are so expensive anyway.

-There's a high price on everything.

-I've had emails telling me

-about the bargains of the day.

-They don't start Friday,

-they started on Monday.

-It's a farce.

-If you can buy bargains now

-for Christmas, it's worth it.

-I've avoided it for years.

-I don't go anywhere near the shops

-because you hear so many stories.

-This year, because it's online for

-a fortnight with some retailers...

-..I've been on

-and I've saved a blinkin' bomb.

-People like a good sale.

-I haven't bought anything yet

-but I have a list.

-A few things have tickled my fancy.

-This is just another American thing.

-This is just another American thing.

-

-You can easily be conned.

-I've been to America.

-On Black Friday.

-What a palaver.

-Goodness me, what a palaver.

-People killing each other!

-Killing each other over tongs

-and a washing machine.

-Goodness me. It was the day after

-they'd celebrated Thanksgiving!

-They were murdering one another.

-They were murdering one another.

-

-Killing one another for a toaster.

-The shops are mental.

-I don't want to get into a fight.

-Have you seen them? They're crazy.

-I remember going somewhere

-for Black Friday.

-There were tellies on sale

-and people sprinted to get them.

-Someone got trampled.

-Someone got trampled.

-

-It happened in Asda, didn't it?

-People got knocked out.

-There were police there.

-Fisticuffs, the blinkin' lot.

-Put it this way, Mared, I wouldn't

-queue for hours for a television.

-I wouldn't trample on anyone for it.

-I wouldn't trample on anyone for it.

-

-Our lifestyles have gone...

-..so much bigger

-because we think we can afford it...

-..but it's paid by credit card.

-Why have a credit card? If you can't

-afford it, don't buy it. Simple.

-Living costs were on everyone's

-minds earlier in the week...

-..as the Chancellor

-announced his Budget.

-He looks smart but what comes out

-of his mouth isn't suitable at all.

-What did you get out of the Budget?

-There was nothing for pensioners.

-No-one's looking after pensioners.

-They're leaving you out to rot.

-D'you know your grocery shop?

-I used to spend 40-50...

-..and I'd have a basket of groceries

-to last me a week.

-These days, I pop into Spar

-for a loaf of bread and I spend 50.

-It's the same with petrol

-and diesel. It's gone up again.

-I stopped off at Morrisons

-to buy petrol. It's gone up again.

-If the price of petrol rises,

-the price of food will rise...

-..to offset the rise

-in petrol prices.

-There's a knock-on effect.

-Prices are rising. On the whole,

-everything's more expensive.

-The price of food has risen.

-I don't mind that as long as farmers

-get more for their produce.

-I don't think they do.

-They call it Great Britain. I don't

-think it is a Great Britain now.

-The Chancellor has earmarked money

-for investment in driverless cars.

-The idea has driven

-a few of our customers up the wall.

-You have to sit in it?

-It drives itself.

-You won't need a licence.

-It's a robot.

-Would you trust them, Mared?

-Not around here. Hallelujah.

-Not around here. Hallelujah.

-

-We'd have more accidents.

-They couldn't cope in rural areas.

-What if a cow crossed the road?

-Would you sit in one of them?

-Listen now, I'll tell you.

-If you'd been in a car with my

-husband, you'd choose one of those.

-They say we'll have

-self-driving cars.

-I'd be dangerous in one of those.

-I have no sense of direction.

-I don't know my left from my right.

-Would you trust a self-driving car?

-Would you trust a self-driving car?

-

-No way. I like a gearbox.

-I like an accelerator.

-I like driving.

-I prefer an automatic.

-I prefer an automatic.

-

-I thought you might, darling.

-I prefer an easy ride.

-You don't need a driving licence

-with these new cars.

-Do you think youngsters passing

-their test at 17 is too young?

-It depends on the person, really.

-When I was 17, I had no sense!

-I think they should raise the age

-when you can pass your test.

-You see some of them driving...

-..they think they know everything

-but they don't.

-They do the bongo-bongos in the car

-and the music's flat out.

-That disrupts your concentration.

-It depends what you're like

-when you're 17.

-You have some boy racers

-who are just driving around wildly.

-Then you have me, a sensible driver,

-really good and I haven't passed.

-That's not your fault,

-it's not your fault.

-You see some youngsters now, they're

-better drivers than the elderly.

-If 17-year-olds are criticised,

-then elderly drivers should be too.

-You lack experience as a youngster

-but things change when you're older.

-Eyesight is important. Can I have

-that straightened please?

-Should people be retaking their test

-when they're older?

-Nain drove until she was 86. 86!

-Don't go there, especially

-at my age. I'd have to retake it.

-You'd never pass it.

-I don't think I would, no.

-You'd never, no, no.

-I think you should all retake it.

-Mami drives.

-She's 77, no problem at all.

-I think everyone should retake

-their test every 10 years.

-I agree. Things can change.

-I'm sure I'd fail my test now.

-I'm sure I'd fail my test now.

-

-I'd fail the year after passing.

-Talking of tests, I'm A Celebrity

-is back on our screens.

-It's obvious that the idea

-of eating testicles and anuses...

-..isn't to everyone's liking.

-She said the anus tasted like

-chicken. That would be OK.

-Would you like a bushtucker trial?

-Here we go.

-If you like these...

-I don't want to eat those. Go away!

-Oh, God.

-What was that?

-These are crickets.

-Hot?

-Hot?

-

-No.

-My gosh, yes.

-Take a drink.

-Hot!

-Hot!

-

-Is it hot?

-That's nice.

-We'll be eating these

-after the Budget.

-Oh, my God.

-That's disgusting.

-What's the worst thing

-you've ever put in your mouth?

-I'm fussy. I'm very particular

-about what goes in my mouth.

-Worms.

-There was a recipe with worms.

-A recipe with worms?

-It was disgusting.

-I once ate a tadpole.

-A tadpole?!

-Frog's legs.

-Frog's legs.

-

-Done it.

-What?!

-Slugs?

-Slugs?

-

-Snails, not slugs!

-What does a snail taste like?

-Crunchy?

-No, soft and slimy.

-As you'd expect a snail to be.

-What's the worst thing

-you've put in your mouth?

-Michael Portillo.

-What's the worst thing you've eaten?

-Salad.

-I've had shark fin soup.

-That is cruel.

-Nia, what's wrong with you?

-I ate a frog in Aberporth.

-A frog in Aberporth?

-It was on the menu.

-Plenty of delicacies on the menu

-after the break.

-Drink some water.

-

-Don't. Here we go.

-Welcome back.

-A feast awaits you in Part 2.

-One woman cooked a different meal

-every day of the year...

-..for her children.

-365 different plates of food

-for her children.

-Fair play.

-Fair play to her?

-She's bonkers doing such a thing.

-Goodness gracious.

-In our house,

-the choice is take it or leave it.

-"That's what you're having. Eat it."

-She has too much time on her hands.

-Would you do that, Maggi?

-Would you do that, Maggi?

-

-Gracious me, no.

-It's easy to see

-how people just get into a rut.

-We're just so stressed,

-going from one thing to the next.

-Going to work, coming home,

-not having enough time.

-You'd choose the easy option

-and put something in the oven.

-My kids are fussy.

-We had a roast dinner yesterday.

-No sprouts, no broccoli,

-no cauliflower cheese.

-They're all different.

-I'm thinking about my shop tonight.

-I'm trying to work out

-what I need for the week.

-They don't eat pizzas,

-they don't eat frozen food...

-..I do cook from scratch.

-One doesn't eat pork, one doesn't

-eat a certain kind of sausage.

-It's just a hassle.

-Children are having hip replacements

-because they're so fat. Children.

-Children?

-Children?

-

-Jammie Dodgers and crisps first.

-Then people can't work out

-why children are the size they are.

-You see them around the place...

-..fat children

-and they're only two years old.

-What have they eaten?

-KFC for two years?

-Whose fault is it? Tell me.

-Whose fault is it?

-Whose fault is it?

-

-Mam and Dad.

-When they're cooking in school,

-they make muffins.

-There's no meal planning, planning

-to get a meal ready on time.

-That doesn't happen anymore.

-I'm not surprised we have problems.

-Do you eat healthily?

-I try, but you have to have

-a Chinese on Saturdays.

-Chinese is your favourite?

-Dirty burger.

-Dirty burger.

-A large dirty burger.

-It's packed with cheese.

-The fat's dripping off your chin.

-That's what you like.

-I love it.

-There was some sad news

-about the death of '70s pop star...

-..David Cassidy.

-Beautiful David Cassidy.

-Who was he then?

-Who was he then?

-

-A lovely singer.

-He sang lovely songs.

-All the youngsters liked him.

-When I was a lot younger, 13 or 14,

-I had posters of him on my walls.

-I loved him.

-I thought I was going to marry him.

-Who was your idol

-when you were a child?

-Elvis Presley.

-Definitely Elvis Presley.

-Eurgh.

-Elvis Presley was something

-brand new on the screen. The King.

-Do you know who I really like?

-Hugh Grant.

-And Colin Firth.

-How about you, Kim Rees?

-How about you, Kim Rees?

-

-He does the fishing programmes.

-Robson Green.

-Robson Green.

-And I said Hugh Grant.

-And Colin Firth.

-Maybe it was that song

-but I thought he was lush.

-I had stickers

-and I put them on my pencil case.

-I was more glam rock.

-Marc Bolan was the one for me.

-Oh, yeah.

-We've all got our idols.

-We've all got our idols.

-

-# We've got to boogie #

-Beyonce.

-Really powerful women, I suppose.

-I liked Ieuan Evans.

-I like my rugby players.

-Cliff. Cliff Richard.

-The one and only.

-Prince Harry. I think he's lush.

-The ginger thing.

-Is it a ginger thing?

-Yeah.

-Staying with the Royal Family...

-..Her Majesty The Queen celebrated

-her 70th wedding anniversary...

-..to Prince Phillip this week.

-Did you see the Queen?

-70 years of married life.

-70 years.

-I've reached 37, second time around.

-Second time around?

-That woman has achieved something.

-It's been difficult because

-she's had to stick to protocol.

-Their secret is money.

-Don't you think it's true love?

-I don't know. I never see them

-smiling at each other.

-When they got married,

-she was in control.

-Years ago,

-that might have been a big thing.

-The man had to take the back seat.

-What's the sign of a happy marriage?

-Oh, God. Where do I start, Nia?

-Patience.

-Patience.

-

-And switching the hearing aid off!

-Dad's scared of Mam.

-You've got to give in sometimes,

-even when you don't want to.

-It's my way or the highway.

-It's my way or the highway.

-

-No, darling, no.

-In our house, Alun's been going on

-about dipping sheep this week.

-I don't want to hear about that.

-Instead of saying, "Alun, shut up,"

-I just nod away.

-The eyes are there

-but the mind has gone.

-Did you do something romantic

-for your anniversary?

-If there's a bargain in M&S,

-we dine in at home.

-It's brilliant.

-Mam and Dad just celebrated

-their 40th. Dad forgot.

-Mam went out and bought the most

-expensive ruby ring she could find.

-Dad had to pay for it.

-I don't blame her.

-That'll teach him.

-You have to celebrate occasions.

-Do you buy gifts?

-Yes, we do. I buy Mike a present.

-I buy myself a present from Mike.

-We've worked it out.

-If you're attending a wedding...

-..it costs 1,000.

-It costs a lot for the guests.

-Between the hen night,

-there's more than one...

-..then the outfit,

-a wedding gift, spending money.

-I got married on a Wednesday.

-You were midweek.

-A quick "I do".

-15 bottles of Prosecco later.

-You enjoyed yourself.

-I can't remember.

-I can't remember.

-

-Exactly.

-Did you have a big wedding?

-We had the reception

-in a Chinese in Bethesda.

-And the night in the football club.

-Another story about sitting on the

-throne made the headlines this week.

-It was International Toilet Day

-on Sunday.

-4.5 billion people

-don't have toilets...

-..or have no access to a toilet.

-They're trying

-to raise awareness about that.

-They're raising funds

-to ensure everyone has a toilet.

-Where do they do their business?

-In the river? And then

-they have to drink the water.

-Just think about it.

-Just think about it.

-

-That's not nice.

-What do you think about the standard

-of toilets in this country?

-It's part of my work

-with the county council.

-Some people know me as Mrs Toilets.

-I'm not happy about that!

-I'm Mrs Toilets!

-I'm chair

-of the British Toilet Association.

-I'm the only woman

-who's ever held that role.

-I think it's very important.

-Some pub toilets are disgusting.

-You have to hover!

-Hover!

-Wedge the door shut with one leg.

-You're hovering with the other one.

-You don't want to catch anything.

-It costs 20p to use a public toilet.

-You put it in the slot,

-open the door...

-..and you think, "Eurgh!"

-Ceredigion is recognised

-as the best place in Britain...

-To go to the toilet?

-..for the standards we maintain.

-It's important.

-Just up the road here, five stars.

-The toilet in Tregaron.

-I went to the one in Tregaron

-earlier. Very good. Special.

-It's five stars!

-I have a claim to fame.

-I worked in Althrop Estate.

-I made sure the standards were kept

-for the gamekeepers...

-..and the people

-learning gamekeeping.

-I was up there working.

-I'd been out watching them

-set the traps and catching moles.

-We went back to the courtyard...

-..which looks out across the island

-where Princess Diana is buried.

-I couldn't wait to go to the toilet.

-I was bursting.

-I told the head gamekeeper and

-he took me to the outside toilet.

-I've never seen

-such a posh outside toilet.

-Did you have potpourri?

-The blinkin' lot. It was shining.

-It appears I sat on the same toilet

-where Diana had done her peepees...

-..since she was a little girl.

-When I'm really stressed,

-I can't go to the toilet.

-I decided to take a laxative

-before going to bed.

-Anyway, it was like a chocolate bar.

-Two pieces of chocolate bar

-in a packet.

-It said, "Take one piece

-before going to bed."

-I took the bar and ate it all.

-16 pieces!

-I got up at 2.00am, "Oh, my God!"

-Have you heard of Shewees?

-Oh, my God.

-You've never heard of Shewees?

-As a man, no. What's a Shewee?

-Best invention ever. It's amazing.

-Do you have one?

-Do you have one?

-

-I have three.

-Pink, purple and clear.

-It's all about the colours.

-It's all about the colours.

-

-They match my outfit.

-What does a Shewee do?

-It helps you wee if you're a girl.

-You can just do it outside.

-Can you do it standing up?

-You just stand there.

-You can go into the Gents

-if you have to.

-I have a black one

-to match my Hunter wellies.

-A black Shewee. Oh, my God.

-Talking of toilets...

-..the lucky monks

-of Ampleforth Abbey...

-..will benefit from en suites.

-A little luxury

-in their frugal lives.

-Have you heard about the monks

-getting en suite toilets?

-Have they? Where?

-In the monkastery.

-Monastery!

-They're having en suites.

-They don't get much else.

-That's their luxury.

-Their luxury item.

-Can I ask you this?

-What's the point of a monk?

-What's the point of a monk?

-Or those who wear black frocks.

-Or those who wear black frocks.

-

-Nuns.

-What's their point?

-One of my friends was a nun.

-In New York. She was a nun.

-Was she boring?

-Was she boring?

-

-No.

-She just decided one day

-she wanted to be a nun.

-What would you miss?

-Televisions. My children -

-could I take them with me?

-Actually, it'd be nice without them.

-Phones, guaranteed. Definitely

-my phone. I can't live without it.

-I'd miss Pobol y Cwm.

-I'd miss my family and friends.

-Mars bars.

-Mars bars.

-

-Mars bars?!

-Hairspray. And hair removal cream.

-I could live without Mars Bars.

-What's the one thing

-you'd miss the most?

-Tea?

-Tea?

-

-Um...

-What would you miss the most?

-What would you miss the most?

-

-Sex!

-Sex!

-Oh, my word!
