I wish Timothy West would narrate my life story! It's so funny how you tell a story and then get angry that Timothy West misunderstood what you did. I'm really laughing at that. I could then say, "So I was in Morrisons and wanted to buy some Pickled Onions, but picked up a jar of gherkins instead, and then Timothy West said 'Oh dear, Hurst is in a bit of a pickle here' and I was like, 'no Timothy, I just picked the gherkins up, briefly, and then put them back on the shelf - I now have the Pickled Onions in my trolley." In fact, I am now going to imagine Timothy West IS narrating my life and how he will pick up my mishaps such as tripping up in the park when nobody sees you - but Timothy West has. Great Channel by the way. I've just watched the costing one and decided to watch a few earlier ones. You definitely look younger and more relaxed on the recent videos than on this one! Must be down to the less stressful life - it reminds me of retired sales reps dropping into the office looking 10 years younger.
