Yeah it was all right, it was all right, It was OK ? It was OK, It was all right, Yeah? Yeah, and you know I wouldn't want to be making any complaints about it or anything like that.

It all sounded the same (You mean you've heard it before, right?). It all sounded the same (You weren't impressed). It all sounded the same, It all sounded the same, Am I clear? Am I clear? Yeah. All right.

So anyway, what I did, I just started asking around, you know. I started erm, I started just sort of just making a few enquiries, you know, just putting out a few feelers. Yeah? Yeah, yeah.
