Pennod 6 Y Salon

-.

-Welcome to Y Salon.

-While the stylists

-put every hair in place...

-..the customers throw some light

-over the week's news.

-Hi, can I help you?

-Thieves, murderers and whores.

-It's awful, Nadine, terrible.

-A hot water bottle and a film

-is the answer.

-Meep-meep.

-Sometimes you wonder

-if anything makes sense anymore.

-It's like everything is upside-down,

-including Christmas trees.

-Have you seen the photo

-of the tree in Claridge's?

-Karl Lagerfeld from Chanel

-has decorated it.

-It's incredible.

-What do you think

-of the upside-down trees?

-I thought it was a joke.

-Christmas trees?

-Upside-down. Baubles, the lot.

-Our house is always upside-down

-at 3.00pm on Christmas Day...

-..after a few Babychams.

-Is it a genuine upside-down tree?

-It's hanging off the ceiling.

-Honestly.

-You stick the top of the tree in.

-It goes like that.

-What's the point?

-Great idea!

-You'd have to make holes

-in the ceiling and drill it in.

-I've seen photos and it looks pretty

-but where do the presents go?

-The presents are there

-and the tree's up there.

-Why have they hung it upside-down?

-It's handy if you've got a cat.

-Dear me!

-The tortoise has gone upstairs,

-the bookshelf has moved...

-..and there's room

-for the Christmas tree.

-They make them in black.

-They make them in black!

-It'd be like a funeral.

-I've had an artificial tree...

-..but I'm thinking of switching

-to a white tree this year.

-Really?

-What's yours, real or artificial?

-Artificial.

-A five-minute pop-up, bang!

-I've done years of decorating.

-Forget it!

-I like a fresh tree

-but I never get one.

-There's nothing better

-than the smell of a Christmas tree.

-They clog the hoover though.

-They clog the hoover though.

-

-I don't know, I don't use a hoover.

-I don't know where the hoover's kept

-in our house.

-The winter's so dark. Everything's

-so depressing this time of year.

-Some colour's nice.

-I like the lights in the window

-and the lights around the house.

-My husband also wants one of the

-projectors to put in the garden.

-Do you know what I've got

-this year for our house?

-One of those projectors.

-Which one?

-It projects snowflakes

-across the front of the house.

-It's bright in your house then!

-Is there anything else outside?

-Oh, yes, a reindeer.

-They've turned Wylfa Mon up

-two points to light that house.

-I like it though, it's lovely.

-You just need a level

-of sophistication.

-We're all about sophistication,

-aren't we?

-You know what I mean.

-If you go overboard, it looks ugly.

-It does, doesn't it?

-A lot of people do that now.

-It's a competition for many, who has

-the best decs and the best lights.

-Keeping up with the Joneses.

-Keeping up with the Joneses.

-

-Precisely.

-Around here, everyone's Jones!

-In the middle

-of all the merriment...

-..the reality of other people's

-lives can strike you.

-Foodbanks will be

-at their busiest this year...

-..feeding those who can't afford

-what we take for granted.

-It's not right in this day and age.

-We live in one of the wealthiest

-countries in the world...

-..yet we need foodbanks.

-Working people

-are turning to foodbanks.

-I shopped in Tesco on Saturday

-and gave them a bag full.

-At the end of the day,

-I spent 20 on various items.

-That'll help someone who needs it.

-It's wrong that people in this day

-and age have to rely on foodbanks.

-It's not supposed to be

-like this now.

-During the war, you expected it...

-..but in this day and age,

-it's not right.

-The country's priorities

-are wrong at the moment.

-It's not nice seeing people

-going to a foodbank.

-They're having to scrape

-around for food.

-Years ago, your next-door neighbour

-would help you out...

-..whenever you were in need.

-I've organised one this year

-down in Burry Port.

-There's one in Llanelli

-and there's one in Carmarthen.

-There's nothing local though.

-People can't afford the bus fare

-to pick up food.

-People are so generous, it's great.

-My grandchildren

-were given Christmas money.

-Stewart asked them, "What do you

-want to buy with your money?"

-"We want to go and fill a bag

-for the homeless."

-They're six and nine.

-People don't have disposable income.

-Everything's being squeezed.

-Everything's gone up,

-gas, electric, everything.

-It said on the news that there

-are more people in poverty now...

-..than there were years ago.

-It's nuts.

-It's nuts.

-

-It's not meant to be like this.

-Not in this day and age.

-In my line of work,

-I see poverty on a grand scale.

-I'm glad there are

-Pay As You Feel cafes...

-..that there are charities

-that give out food.

-People are starving.

-People's perception of poverty is

-different to what it was years ago.

-My father was killed

-in Wylfa Power Station...

-..when I was three

-and my brother was two.

-Mam didn't have any money.

-She would knit our socks,

-she would make my clothes...

-..but we always had

-one hot meal a day.

-People these days

-just want things there and then.

-Another emergency this week

-was one linked to the environment...

-..and the amount of plastic waste

-in the sea.

-They say there's so much plastic

-in the sea...

-..you eat plastic

-when you eat your fish.

-I think that's so sad.

-When I open a tin of tuna,

-there's plastic in it?

-You can't see the plastic but

-it'll have gone through the fish.

-Thinking about it

-is enough to make me sick.

-I like seafood.

-I saw a documentary,

-Blue Planet on Sunday night...

-..and it showed that.

-It shocked me.

-I didn't know there was so much

-plastic in the sea.

-When you eat fish in a restaurant,

-you're probably eating plastic.

-The fish have eaten the plastic

-in the sea.

-You don't realise

-how much plastic is in the sea.

-It's nuts.

-So much rubbish is thrown

-into the sea, it's awful, Nadine.

-Terrible.

-Do you recycle, Betty?

-Do you recycle, Betty?

-

-No.

-Do you think they'll clamp down

-on it?

-Look at the size of the sea.

-It goes all the way

-around the world.

-What are they going to do?

-I've seen it on Facebook.

-A boy in the docks

-goes out in a dinghy with a net.

-A fishing net.

-He's collecting plastic.

-Who throws plastic into the sea?

-Who throws plastic into the sea?

-

-A lot of people, obviously.

-People on cruises,

-throwing things over the side.

-I've never thrown anything

-into the sea.

-Out of a car window, maybe.

-A long time ago. When I was young.

-When I was young!

-When I was young!

-

-You can't back pedal!

-Sorry, but how will they get rid

-of all the plastic?

-By the time

-you've collected one piece...

-..someone else

-has thrown something in.

-How deep is the sea?

-Plastic can sink to the bottom.

-If you have a hole in a Coke bottle,

-that's straight to the bottom.

-An octopus will get that.

-David Attenborough said

-that in the next 80 years...

-In the next 80 years,

-we will have no fish.

-No fish at all.

-We'll only have plastic in our seas.

-Matthew reminds me of someone.

-Anyway, Dennis the Menace

-is back on the small screen.

-He's an old favourite.

-When I was young, I was in

-the Dennis the Menace Fan Club.

-Oh, yeah?

-Dennis the Menace.

-I had a wallet.

-I had a Gnasher badge

-with all the hair on his head.

-The badge had googly eyes.

-I loved Dennis the Menace.

-I loved Dennis the Menace.

-That's your type of boy.

-My kind of boy.

-My kind of boy.

-

-I loved Dennis the Menace.

-And Gnasher, the dog.

-Gnasher!

-I don't like Dennis the Menace,

-never have.

-Dennis the Menace was my favourite.

-What was yours?

-Something like the Fimbles.

-What was that?

-# Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo #

-Rhubarb.

-Rhubarb and Custard?

-Rhubarb and Custard?

-

-Magic Roundabout.

-No?

-# Dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee-dee-dee #

-That's Magic Roundabout. Boing!

-Do you remember Miri Mawr?

-Do you remember Miri Mawr?

-

-Blodyn Tatws is my inspiration.

-What was his name? Caleb.

-Tom and Jerry.

-Tom and Jerry.

-

-Roadrunner.

-Meep-meep!

-Rosey and Jim.

-Rosey and Jim.

-

-She liked Rosey and Jim.

-I could kill Rosey and Jim.

-# Rosey and Jim #

-I loved Dangermouse.

-Sam Tan and Superted.

-Wil Cwac Cwac.

-Top Cat.

-Officer Dibble.

-As a child watching Top Cat,

-I thought the bins looked nice!

-They lived in the bins!

-As a child, you believed everything.

-I couldn't get over it.

-They lived in bins.

-Where have those days gone?

-The innocence.

-There'll be more innocence

-in the salon after the break.

-Welcome back.

-The salons are far more

-than shampoo and sets this week.

-The Donald Trump soap opera

-has been claiming the headlines.

-He's upset the Palestinians

-and just about everyone else...

-..and tweeted the wrong Theresa May.

-It's been another bad week for him.

-He's like a teenager.

-What's the word for it? Petulant.

-He's a ledge.

-Sorry, but he's a legend.

-To some extent, I like him...

-..but he is a bit ridiculous.

-What's he doing in Jerusalem,

-I don't know.

-He's sticking his nose in

-where it's not wanted.

-He's going to cause

-a lot of trouble.

-This man was elected

-leader of his country.

-Anything he does

-is what he promised to do.

-He still hasn't deleted

-the retweets of Britain First.

-He knows who they are.

-They're still there.

-He hasn't deleted them.

-He retweeted something

-from Britain First.

-Why?!

-That just fuels their campaign.

-In my eyes,

-it just justifies their views.

-I can understand his views

-on some things.

-If we go to their country,

-we have to cover up, cover our arms.

-Whereas, if you're here and you wear

-a baseball cap and a hoodie...

-..you walk into a shop

-and they tell you to take it off.

-It's like that. You look like

-you're going to do something wrong.

-But you can walk in to anywhere

-you like wearing a burqa.

-You can only see the eyes.

-I'm not being racist,

-it's just the truth.

-How can they wear

-what they want here?

-We're a liberal country.

-We can wear what we want.

-If we wear baseball caps in shops,

-they ask you to take them off.

-You look like you're on the rob.

-They have plenty of places

-to hide things.

-He says he wants to come over...

-In February.

-Do you think he'll come over?

-Do you think he'll be welcomed?

-He'll come, welcome or not.

-Think about the security

-just to keep him safe.

-I do think he'll come...

-..but I think a lot of people

-will protest when he arrives.

-When he was elected,

-the protests were amazing.

-It was nice to see them.

-Leave him where he is,

-he's horrible.

-He sent a message to Theresa May

-but to the wrong Theresa May.

-To be honest, he gives you hope.

-Anyone can run a country.

-If he can, and she can...

-..but I think

-it'll do my a few favours.

-Just look at her.

-Do you know someone

-who's made a mistake like that?

-I sent a text to my daughter

-instead of sending it to my husband!

-I suspect it was for your ears only.

-She sent it back saying, "Mam,

-I don't want to know these things."

-The shame of it.

-You try to stop it before it goes.

-When you press send, it's gone.

-Pressing it furiously.

-I meant to text

-"I like you because you're sweet."

-It said

-"I lick you because you sweat."

-You would, wouldn't you?

-He messaged me back saying

-"What? What are you on about?

-"Are you a bit kinky?"

-I have this friend,

-she had a boyfriend.

-Well, she was seeing this boy.

-He had the same name

-as another friend she had.

-Every Tuesday, she'd send him

-a Cleavage Tuesday shot.

-One of these sort of photos.

-Instead of sending it to the boy

-she was seeing at the time...

-..she sent it to a friend

-of the same name...

-..giving him the green light!

-Interested all of a sudden.

-She was absolutely gutted.

-She phoned me in absolute hysterics.

-I've said a lot of things in drink.

-Like what?

-Just the truth. I don't like you!

-A boy named Ben

-was quite indiscreet this week...

-..while boasting to his friends

-that he'd cheated on his girlfriend.

-Unfortunately

-for the unlucky lothario...

-..someone was listening in

-and she tweeted about the deceit.

-Ben was certainly behaving badly.

-Good enough for him.

-Good enough for him.

-

-Good enough.

-I'd love it if he was my boyfriend.

-Name and shame.

-It wouldn't be nice to hear that

-your boyfriend's cheating on you.

-I'd rather find out like that

-than not find out.

-She shouldn't

-have been listening in.

-I think it's ridiculous

-that she tweeted it.

-What about the girl being cheated?

-If I knew him I'd say,

-but it's his life too, isn't it?

-You can't fart on social media

-without someone finding out.

-If someone cheated on you,

-would you want to know?

-I'd want to know.

-Oh, yes.

-Oh, no...

-I don't know if I'd want to know.

-If you don't know for sure,

-you could break up a relationship.

-If you catch someone cheating and

-you tell the girl, you get blamed.

-I've been stung a few times.

-And I've been stung for not saying.

-And then they've found out

-that I knew.

-You can't do right for doing wrong.

-You need affairs.

-You need affairs.

-

-Maggs!

-Education is useless in life.

-The only thing you don't want

-in life is a gag reflex.

-From bad boy Ben

-to the wacky baccy...

-..and the story of the actress

-who played Pat Butcher...

-..smoking cannabis every day

-to ease the symptoms of arthritis.

-Did you watch the programme

-with Pat Butcher?

-Hysterical.

-Hysterical.

-

-It was brilliant.

-This programme's given my parents

-silly ideas.

-I'm shocked that Mam and Dad

-are now pro-cannabis. Oh, my God.

-I was mortified when Mam told me.

-Where does she buy it?

-Where does she buy it?

-

-I want to know!

-Fair play to her.

-Have you tried it? I have.

-I've tried it

-and I didn't like it at all.

-I had to phone Mam

-to come and pick me up.

-I think if it eases illnesses

-and it's monitored...

-..I don't see

-anything wrong with it.

-We should be more holistic

-in the way we think about things.

-Under control, I think

-it could make a huge difference...

-..to people with arthritis, ME -

-go for it.

-As a nurse, do you think

-they should legalise it?

-I don't really agree with it.

-If you smoke something like that,

-do it behind closed doors.

-People buy large Rizlas in the shop.

-"Oh, you having a joint?"

-Oh, gosh, you work in the shop.

-You ask them, don't you?

-They say they're buying foil

-for chicken. Yeah, right!

-Pat Butcher takes cannabis

-for her arthritis.

-You'll be taking heroin

-for a cold next.

-Recreational, up to you...

-..but I'm worried about youngsters

-wanting to try something different.

-"That's great, I've tried that.

-What's next?"

-I don't agree with cannabis

-for recreational use.

-A lot of youngsters abuse cannabis

-every day. I see the negative side.

-How often do you hear

-about youngsters...

-..going to hospital because

-they've drunk too much alcohol?

-You never hear about them going

-to hospital after smoking a joint.

-Alcohol is more of a problem.

-It breaks up families.

-It creates so many problems.

-You have two ways of looking at it.

-Alcohol makes people aggressive.

-Cannabis calms people down.

-Then again, people can have

-psychotic episodes too.

-I think it gives you paranoia.

-No-one fights after a joint.

-Pat Butcher will be chilled out

-over Christmas.

-She'll be sitting in the corner

-listening to Bob Marley.

-Staying with

-alternative treatments...

-..it appears that garlic

-is a great way to battle illnesses.

-I stink of garlic today.

-I love garlic.

-I think if you have enough chilli,

-garlic and wine in your system...

-Sorted.

-Garlic.

-Garlic.

-

-I like garlic.

-I do, I do. I love it.

-I put it in everything.

-Me too.

-Have you see the massive bulbs

-you can buy in Morrisons?

-I cut two of them in half yesterday

-and put them in the oven.

-I just ate them then.

-They have lots of old healing

-remedies like Mam-gu used to make.

-What did they give you?

-I remember having goose fat

-when I had a sore throat and chest.

-It did the job but I didn't have

-any friends because I smelt foul!

-Literally fowl!

-I once read something

-about breast milk.

-Genuine.

-Do you remember

-when we tried breast milk?

-Remember that? We wanted to know

-how breast milk tasted.

-I asked on a night out,

-do you remember?

-You didn't give it to me

-on a night out?

-I said, "Go on, give us a taste."

-In a bottle! In a bottle!

-I said, "I don't want to suck on it,

-just some on my finger."

-In a bottle, no?

-The only remedy I've used,

-when I had mastitis...

-..I put a cabbage leaf

-in the freezer...

-..and put it on my boob.

-It worked, my mastitis disappeared.

-My auntie told me about it.

-If it's meant to move

-and it doesn't, spray it with WD40.

-Have you seen these knees?

-If it moves and it's not meant

-to move, duct tape it down!

-There's no need for anything else.

-Say my stomach's not right...

-..I eat raw parsley.

-My granny, oh, my goodness.

-She had a remedy for everything.

-She either spat on it

-and rubbed it in...

-If you'd burnt yourself, spit on it.

-Mami told me that when children had

-a cold and they couldn't breathe...

-..spread butter on their nose.

-When I had earache,

-Nain would make me wee in a jug...

-..and pour it down my ear.

-You could taste it in your throat.

-It was horrible. It's all linked,

-ear, nose and throat.

-I can remember choking on it.

-Horrible.

-I'd still be doing it to my girls.

-What did it taste like?

-What did it taste like?

-

-Wee!

-What does it taste like?

-Is it bitter?

-Salty.

-Salty.

-

-Salty?

-More tonic on Y Salon next week.
