Yes.

So Essex has been the home of a sort of trope of a sort of self-made voter who prefers the Conservatives over...

Kemi Badenoch's got a seat there.

James Clevey's got a seat there.

In our time, some very famous, colourful Conservatives had seats there because of the amazing voters of Essex, which is where I began my radio career.

I dare to say I know about Essex.

See, I wouldn't have you down as the clichéd Essex man.

Did you ever have a Ford Escort?

Well, so I went in search of Essex Man.

I had a Citroen 2CV.

So did I when I was a reporter at Radio Newcastle and I used to break down all the time.

To the list of niche things on this podcast, we've added a 75-year-old car.

I love the fact that both of you had a 2CV.

Mine was red and yellow.

The new man who's running the BBC, whose name no one can remember, is obsessed with getting younger listeners.

And this podcast is going to be axed the moment he walks in the door.

Wombles and wimbles.

roller decks so look back we go to the voter so it's a totemic result I went to a car boot sale Laura and here is some of what people told me £3 each darling £3 each these are £2 free for five they're L'Oreal foundations can I ask what you're selling today and how it's gone it's gone quite well today apart from mixing with delightful people opportunity to get a bit of extra money towards bills

So it's interesting at the same time as being profitable?

Yes, of course.
