00:00Ladies and gentlemen,
00:29fellow managers, I bid you welcome to Whitbury Newtown Leisure Centre.
00:34It is my proud duty this morning to introduce our opening speaker,
00:39the Member of Parliament for Truro, the Honourable Sebastian Coe.
00:44But before, Sebby, I'd like to take this opportunity to share with you
00:48a few thoughts on what I think this conference is really all about.
00:53Its official title may well be Expansion in the Leisure Market,
00:58but do we here not have the opportunity to paint on a rather broader canvas?
01:04I think we do.
01:05A chance to discuss the whole meaning of...
01:08Sorry to disturb you, Mr British.
01:11Yes, Laura?
01:11Just to remind you before I go that someone needs to turn up the heating in the pool.
01:15Go? Go where?
01:16My interview. Remember? For the job in Teddington?
01:19Of course! I was going to give you some advice, wasn't I?
01:21It's all right, Mr British, I know you're busy.
01:23Come in, Laura, come in. A good manager is never too busy to help a young colleague
01:27struggling up the ladder of promotion.
01:29Yes, thank you.
01:30Now, sit yourself down. Come on.
01:32How are you feeling?
01:33Very nervous, I'd imagine.
01:35Well, you know.
01:37Let me tell you one thing that always helps.
01:39Yes?
01:39Wear something smart for the interview.
01:41Something that suits you.
01:46And possibly a dash of lipstick.
01:48Make yourself more attractive.
01:51I'll bear it in mind, Mr British.
01:53It boosts confidence, you see. No point looking dowdy.
01:56No, right.
01:58Now, I think the most important thing to remember is that you're not applying for the post of leisure centre manager.
02:04That's what it said on the form.
02:06That's not the half of it, Laura.
02:08Laura, you are seeking responsibility for the moral and physical welfare of every person in the community.
02:14You'll have to be a lot more than manager.
02:16You'll have to be social worker.
02:18You'll have to be critic.
02:19You'll have to be friend.
02:20You'll have to be father.
02:21Yes, yes, sir.
02:21I do have to be there by ten o'clock.
02:23Right.
02:24Anything else worrying you?
02:25No, no.
02:26As I said, if you could just remind someone to turn up the heating in the pool in time of the baptism,
02:29the coffee machine's getting low on cups.
02:31I'll get Colin onto it, Laura.
02:33Don't you give it a thought.
02:34You've got plenty to panic about already.
02:37Off you go.
02:38And don't forget, there'll be a lot of competition, so don't be too disappointed if you don't get it.
02:58Is it true?
03:00Mrs. Bishop, you startled me.
03:01Yeah, I came as soon as I heard.
03:03I couldn't believe it.
03:04Sorry?
03:04That she's leaving, going to manage another centre.
03:08Oh, you mean Laura?
03:09I thought if I could just talk to her, I might manage to persuade.
03:13She hasn't gone yet, is she?
03:14Oh, I don't know.
03:15Tim, has Laura gone yet?
03:17Oh, yes, she left first thing.
03:18She's got an interview, you know.
03:18Oh, no.
03:19Why didn't anyone tell me she was applying for jobs?
03:22Oh, I don't think she was.
03:23They just rang her up and asked her.
03:24You mean it was their idea?
03:25Oh, yes.
03:26Sounds hopeful, doesn't it?
03:26Where's Gordon?
03:27Miss Britters, he's up in his office.
03:29He is not to be disturbed.
03:31He is writing a speech for Monday.
03:34But I'm sure if it's you, he wouldn't mind.
03:36And I was sharply reminded of the weighty responsibility we all hold the other day
03:42when a young woman on my staff came to me for some advice.
03:46She was up for promotion, off on her first big interview,
03:49and you could see the pleading in her eyes.
03:53Help me, Mr Britters.
03:55Tell me what this managing a leisure centre is all about.
03:58And I told her exactly what I'm about to tell you now.
04:04I never said she was leaving.
04:06Morning, my darling.
04:07You can't do it.
04:08You can't just let her walk out like that.
04:10Who?
04:11Who do you think?
04:12Laura.
04:13You've got to stop her.
04:16Julia, could you come into my office, please?
04:18I'm afraid that's the way of the world, my darling.
04:20What is?
04:21You train them, you nurture them, you watch them grow,
04:24but the end result is always the same.
04:26The fledgling learns to fly and leaves the nest.
04:30What's she going to do?
04:31I mean, if Laura goes, there's just no-one to take...
04:34I thought you said you didn't want to be disturbed.
04:37Could you get me a pound from petty cash, please, Julie?
04:40If Laura goes, my darling, we'll do what we've always done.
04:43We shall pilot our little vessel as safely as possible through the rocks and shoals.
04:48Granted, she was a useful deputy.
04:50Useful?
04:51She's all this place that's got, Gordon.
04:53Can't you doctor her references or something?
04:56Helen...
04:56Or ring them up.
04:57Tell them she steals things.
04:59Look, I'll say she took one of the nest.
05:00Helen, Helen, Helen.
05:03This is what always happens.
05:06As soon as I make friends with anyone, they just go away.
05:11Nobody ever stays.
05:13I'm staying like this now.
05:18What do you want me to do now?
05:19Oh, Julie, I think my wife would appreciate it if you took her down to the cafeteria and bought her a cup of coffee and a doughnut.
05:26Yeah, come on.
05:28Come on, my darling.
05:30Julie, we'll look after you.
05:32Come on.
05:33There you go.
05:34Right.
05:41I'm sorry, Julie.
05:44Is this a tiny hair this morning about Laura leaving?
05:47Oh, well, we don't know she is.
05:50It's only an interview.
05:51Oh, she'll get it, Ian.
05:53No, she will.
05:54Yeah.
05:56We'll miss her.
05:57I'm not talking about a friendly face, Julie.
06:00I'm talking about survival.
06:03Doesn't it scare you at all?
06:05Just knowing she's not here.
06:10I think we'll be all right.
06:12There's only the baptism.
06:15Mr Bridges is staying in his office.
06:17And the rest of the public are outnumbered by the staff three to one.
06:21I can't see anything major going on.
06:23They never are major at the beginning, are they?
06:26What?
06:27The disasters.
06:29They always start with something trivial, some tiny little thing apparently going wrong.
06:36Cup of coffee.
06:38Oh.
06:38Oh.
06:38Carol, are you sure that's wise?
07:04Oh, yes.
07:05These are all fast, non-coloureds.
07:08Now, actually, I meant if Mr Britta sees you.
07:10Oh, yes, it's all right.
07:11I thought he told you to stop using reception to look after your children and use it more
07:15as well as reception, really.
07:17Oh, it's just for today, Gavin.
07:19Anyway, Mr Britta's is up in his office.
07:21He won't be down all day.
07:22Well, just be careful.
07:23Yes, I will.
07:24Excuse me.
07:25Oh, welcome to it for Newtown Leisure Centre.
07:27How may I help you?
07:28Well, I've just put 20p in the coffee machine down the corridor there and nothing happened.
07:32Yes.
07:35Well, I would have used the one in the rifle range, but apparently that's been disconnected
07:38until whoever put in a piece of aluminium foil owns up to the manager.
07:42Yes.
07:43Well, I'd like my money back for a start.
07:46Ah, you have witnesses.
07:48What?
07:49Did anyone see you put it in?
07:50I'm afraid I cannot give you a refund without corroborating evidence.
07:54You are joking.
07:55Afraid not.
07:56Send a policy.
07:56Harold?
07:57You've seen Colin?
07:58No, he's not in yet, and I've got this note here from Mr Britta's.
08:01Could you tell him I need some help?
08:02They're all ready to start, and the harmonium's stuck in the football.
08:05Oh, yes, of course.
08:06Perhaps I could have some change, then.
08:08Sorry?
08:09For the machine, I'm trying to get a cup of coffee, remember?
08:12Well, I am not allowed to open the till without ringing up a sale first.
08:16I have to buy something.
08:18Well?
08:19Well, I'll take that squash racket.
08:21Oh, great.
08:23This one comes in two styles.
08:24Just give me 20p in the change.
08:31I'll put this by for you.
08:35Excuse me?
08:36My name is...
08:38Colin!
08:38That's the one!
08:40This'll be for me, then.
08:42Colin?
08:43All right, Colin.
08:45I mean, where else but in a leisure centre can we draw together the troubled strands of our society?
08:51Where else will you find young and old, of every class and race, playing with each other on the gymnasium floor?
08:57And where can ordinary people find meaning and purpose to their lives, a sense of commitment and caring?
09:10What is it, Colin?
09:11I'm sorry, Mr. Brittas, you wanted to see me.
09:16That was four hours ago.
09:18I'm afraid I've only just got in, Mr. Brittas.
09:20I had a slight accident on my rowing machine.
09:23Come in, Colin.
09:24I later found the trouble was I'd lost a rollick.
09:28Just fell off the machine, which incidentally provides the power for the downstairs lighting.
09:33So I was in the dark when I walked into the kitchen where the side of the cupboard caught me a glancing blow on the head.
09:40And since then I...
09:40Colin!
09:41Yes, Mr. Brittas?
09:42Two things I want you to do for me this morning, or what's left of it.
09:46One is I want you to increase the heating in the pool for the Pentecostal baptism.
09:50Right, Mr. Brittas.
09:51And secondly, I want you to check there's enough cups in the coffee machine.
09:53Will call, Mr. Brittas.
09:56Number one was...
09:58More heat in the pool.
10:01Heat!
10:02Got it!
10:04And number two?
10:06Cups in the coffee machine.
10:08Cups!
10:09That's it.
10:10So, that's the cups.
10:12And...
10:13And...
10:15I'll tell you what, Colin, you just do the pool, all right?
10:19And I'll get someone else to do the cups.
10:21You can try Laura, Mr. Brittas.
10:23She's very good.
10:24Laura is not here, Colin.
10:25Oh, dear me.
10:25She's not here, is she?
10:26Laura is...
10:27Only you wouldn't want both of us down.
10:29I don't know whether I mentioned it to you, but I got a nasty bang on my head this morning.
10:33She's gone for a job interview.
10:35You haven't thought of going for a job interview, have you, Colin?
10:38No, no.
10:39I think I've found my niche here with you, Mr. Brittas.
10:43So, that's it, then, is it?
10:48Just the pool?
10:51Yes.
10:53Of course, if you had the time, you could take a length of rope up to the roof,
10:57attach one hand to the lightning conductor, the other to your trouser zip, and jump off.
11:01Sorry, Mr. Brittas.
11:04But only if you have the time.
11:12Hey, Mike, I've got a free one.
11:14Well, how was Mr. Brittas, Colin?
11:32Mr. Brittas?
11:33Ah, he wants to see me, doesn't he?
11:35I thought you just had.
11:38What?
11:40Oh, yes.
11:41Quite like Carol.
11:42I have to increase the heat in the pool.
11:45It's burnt me now.
11:46Sorry.
11:47Your damn machine has poured boiling coffee all over my trousers.
11:51Oh, dear, I'm so sorry.
11:52I call a first aid officer.
11:54I do not need first aid.
11:56You thought perhaps a bandit?
11:57Nor do I want anything bandaged.
12:00I just want my money back so that I can get a white coffee with two sugars, preferably in a cup this time.
12:08Of course.
12:11What's this?
12:12These are just the official claim forms.
12:14And if you could fill them out in block capitals, we don't want to have to do it all again now, do we?
12:19Is it, I wonder, an exaggeration to say that we, the leisure centre managers, hold the future of civilisation in our hands?
12:29I think not.
12:31You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.
12:36I hope someday you'll join us and the world...
12:40Mr. Brittis.
12:41All right, Gavin, what is it?
12:43Oh, sorry, Mr. Brittis.
12:44I just wondered if anyone was sorting out the heat in the pool.
12:47All under control, Gavin.
12:48Colin's doing that.
12:50Which reminds me, could you check we've got enough cups in the coffee machine, please?
12:53Certainly, Mr. Brittis.
12:55Um, he's all right now, is he?
12:58Who?
12:58Colin, it's only when I saw him downstairs earlier, well, he looked as if he didn't know what day it was.
13:03So, what's new, Gavin?
13:05I've only asked him to do one thing and I've written it on his hand.
13:09Surely not even Colin can get that one wrong.
13:11No, Mr. Brittis.
13:13Colin, can you give me a hand with this?
13:23Colin, are you all right?
13:25Colin?
13:26I'll tell him you're looking for it.
13:28I'll tell him you're looking for it.
13:30I'm sure he won't be long.
13:36Oh, Mr. Brittis, I'm so sorry to disturb you, but we just need your authorisation on Mr. Jackson's claim forms.
13:43And then apparently I can get a cup of coffee.
13:46You possibly think all this paperwork's a little unnecessary, Mr. Jackson?
13:50It crossed my mind.
13:52My concern is for the safety of public money in my charge, you see.
13:56Now, I'm sure you're probably a first-class, upright, honest citizen.
14:00But we have had our fingers burnt once or twice in time's cars, haven't we, Carol?
14:05Oh, yes, Mr. Brittis.
14:06People claiming money they weren't technically entitled to.
14:10Now, I know it's only 20 pence, but if I may remind you, five of those make a pound, ten of those make two pounds.
14:16Yes, thank you, I am a maths teacher.
14:19Point taken, then.
14:21Right, now, let's have a look.
14:25Postcode, father's occupation.
14:27Postcode, police record.
14:33And you've signed it.
14:34Well, everything seems to be in order.
14:36Does that mean I can actually get a cup of coffee?
14:39Yes, indeed.
14:41As soon as we've made sure all these details square up with what we have on the security cameras.
14:46Oh, what?
14:47We have cameras monitoring the more sensitive areas of the centre, Mr. Jackson.
14:51All I've got to do is wind the tape back to 12.57, and hopefully we'll be able to confirm your story.
14:58In the meantime, if you'd like to take a magazine.
15:01We haven't caught our first streak, have we, Mr. Britters?
15:13Just keep rewinding, Tim.
15:15The incident we're after occurred at 12.57, so there should be some...
15:20What's happened?
15:21Sorry, I wanted to do that one.
15:22Looks like Colleen.
15:25Oh, yes, so it is.
15:27Why's he carrying all that rope?
15:28Rope?
15:29I...
15:30He wouldn't.
15:33Colleen, I told him earlier to...
15:35Well, I told him to get some rope and jump off the roof.
15:38And that was a joke, was it?
15:39Well, of course it was a joke.
15:41I mean, not even Colleen could take that seriously.
15:44Could he?
15:45No.
15:45Of course not.
15:47Not unless a bang on the head had scrambled his brains or something.
15:53Jump in, mate, sis.
16:05Have you decided yet, pardon, whether I'm a criminal or not?
16:10I'm afraid something's come up, Mr...
16:11When do I get my coffee?
16:13Er, Carol, could you give this man his money, please?
16:17Yes, Mr...
16:17Ah, Linda.
16:19Have you seen Colleen?
16:21I saw him heading for the Paul storerooms, Mr...
16:23He was singing.
16:25Singing?
16:25Singing what?
16:26I'm not sure.
16:27Something about crossing the River of Jordan.
16:29Oh, my goodness.
16:31Three days before the conference.
16:33You'd better come, too.
16:35Here's your money, Mr...
16:36Have a nice day.
16:39And as our brothers and sisters step down into the waters, let us pray.
16:49Let us pray that their baptism this morning may see tongues of fire come down from heaven
16:56as they did of old.
16:58And may that fire enter their bodies and in full...
17:02...so they may be born again into a new life.
17:06Don't do it, Colleen.
17:15Don't do it.
17:16Stop, stop right there.
17:17Mr. Brittas.
17:18I'm sorry if I spoke to you a little harshly this morning, but...
17:21What are you doing up there, Colleen?
17:23Just tidying up this cable, Mr. Brittas.
17:25I know how you like everything neat and ship-ship.
17:27Is that cable live?
17:28Certainly is, Mr. Brittas.
17:30Have you any idea how dangerous that is, Colleen?
17:33Dangerous?
17:34This coiled cable with a live current passing through it creates a powerful magnetic field.
17:39Didn't you know that?
17:40What?
17:40Imagine if some elderly person came in here looking for a lost grandchild,
17:44leaned against the wall to get his breath back,
17:46came into contact with a magnetic field which turned his pacemaker off.
17:50Never thought of that, Mr. Brittas.
17:53You'd have a death on your hands, wouldn't you, Colleen?
17:55Take it down at once.
17:56Great, Mr. Brittas.
17:58Where does this thing go, anyway?
17:59What's happened to the lights?
18:25I think it might have something to do with the fact that my husband's just electrocuted everyone in the pool.
18:30Oh, my God!
18:33Yeah, it reminds me of the way my uncle used to catch salmon.
18:37What?
18:38Seeing the bodies floating around on the surface like that.
18:41Oh, God.
18:43Well, are they dead?
18:44The fish weren't.
18:45Not usually.
18:46Just stunned.
18:47Then my uncle used to haul them out with a net and knock them on the head.
18:51Maybe that's what Gordon's going to do.
18:54You never know.
18:56How did it happen?
18:57I think he dropped an electric fire into the pool.
19:02Why?
19:04I don't know, Julie.
19:06I don't ask about these things anymore.
19:11No, no, no.
19:12That is not enough.
19:13We'll need at least four ambulances.
19:16Well, I suppose it will have to be, won't it?
19:18They're turning the power back on now, Mr. Brittus.
19:20Thank you, Gabby.
19:22And where do you think you're going?
19:24I'm sorry, Mr. Brittus.
19:26Sorry, I should say so.
19:27What have I always said about mixing electricity and water?
19:30Not to do it, Mr. Brittus.
19:31Precisely.
19:32And what do you do?
19:32Go and hang a two-bar electric fire over a swimming pool?
19:35It's not his fault, Mr. Brittus.
19:36It's not his fault?
19:37Well, whose fault is it, then?
19:38He's got concussions.
19:39He's been here all morning.
19:40He should never have been allowed out.
19:41I don't care if he's got terminal dysentery.
19:44It's a danger to the lives of 15 people.
19:46I've let you down very badly, Mr. Brittus.
19:47You certainly have.
19:48Is there anything I can do?
19:50For a start, you can go to my office and copy out the safety manual.
19:53Right, Mr. Brittus.
19:53Are you serious?
19:54Ten times.
19:55You can't do that.
19:57He's got to learn, Tim.
19:58He cannot go around wiping out innocent churchgoers.
20:00But that's like being back at school, Mr. Brittus.
20:03You're giving him lines.
20:05Precisely.
20:05Carol?
20:06Yes, Miss Brittus.
20:06How may I help you?
20:07Can I have the safety manual and a large pad of lined paper, please?
20:12Carol?
20:13I know you're going to be somewhere.
20:14Ah, here it is.
20:17That's Dr. Spock, Carol.
20:18What?
20:19I'll have another look.
20:21All right, open the doors.
20:22I don't need to open the doors, Mr. Brittus.
20:23I know where everything is.
20:24Carol!
20:25They're back, aren't they?
20:31Just for the day, Mr. Brittus.
20:32The number of days is immaterial, Carol.
20:34I've warned you before.
20:35Get your bags.
20:35You're leaving.
20:37I cannot employ a receptionist to keep the drawers of a desk full of children.
20:40I mean, just look at all that stuff.
20:42These are just a few things for my babies, Mr. Brittus.
20:44They're not just a few things for your babies, Carol.
20:46What you have here is a small but well-stocked branch of mother care.
20:51Now, pack your bags.
20:52But I was only...
20:53Go on, do it.
20:53Mr. Brittus, I've been asked to say on behalf of all the staff
20:57that we think what you're doing to Colin is really unfair.
21:00Not now, Gabby.
21:01But we feel very strongly...
21:02I'm sure you do, Gabby, but I'm dealing with Carol at the moment.
21:05Come on, don't just stand there.
21:07Give her a hand.
21:08With what?
21:09With the packing.
21:10Carol is leaving us, everyone.
21:11You're not serious.
21:12Perfectly serious, Tim.
21:13She knew the score.
21:14She's fragrantly disobeyed my instructions.
21:16He's throwing her out.
21:17You can't do that.
21:18Come on, we haven't got all day.
21:19Excuse me.
21:20Not now, I'm busy.
21:21Mr. Brittus?
21:21If you want to help, Tim, you can pack away some of those soft toys.
21:24And I just go away, do I?
21:26What?
21:26A cup of coffee doesn't matter, I suppose.
21:28Can we shut up about your coffee for three minutes, please?
21:32Mr. Brittus?
21:33What?
21:33If Carol goes, then I'm afraid I shall have to consider my position here as well.
21:36You're handing in your notice?
21:37Yes.
21:37Yes, I am.
21:38Accepted.
21:38Goodbye.
21:39Anyone else want to leave?
21:49Nobody is leaving.
21:52Nobody is going anywhere.
21:55Not until I get one cup of coffee with two sugars!
22:00Is everything all right, Mr. Brittus?
22:12The last of the ambulances has gone.
22:15Oh, well, I'll give him Mr. Jackson is 20p.
22:19Good.
22:19I think we've been quite lucky, really.
22:23With the Pentecostalists.
22:25One of them said they saw fire dancing on the water.
22:28And they've got the idea the whole thing was a visitation by the Holy Ghost.
22:34Does that mean they're not going to sue?
22:35No, they're booking again next week.
22:40Good.
22:40Carol's, um, packing her things.
22:46Yes, I know.
22:48I don't suppose there's any chance...
22:49I don't want her to leave, Laura.
22:52In that case...
22:53I warned her what would happen if she brought those children in, and I cannot go back on my word.
22:57No.
22:58I would if I could, but I can't.
22:59No, no, I understand.
23:02Happened to him once, you know.
23:04Sorry?
23:05Gordon, in cartoon.
23:07It was in the final stages of the siege, and he'd put out an order rationing the water supply.
23:14And this little lad, one of his favourite servants, Abdul, stole a saucerful of water for his dying puppy.
23:22Old Gordon had a soft spot for Abdul, but he couldn't go back on his word.
23:26And although the lad was only nine years old, he was court-martialed and shot.
23:33It's what I have to do, Laura.
23:35Laura, you're going to shoot the children.
23:40I'm building an analogy.
23:42What I'm saying is, sometimes leadership involves hard decisions.
23:46I understand.
23:47Managing a place like this is the finest job in the world, Laura, but let no-one tell you it's easy.
23:52No, I won't, Mr. Bitters.
23:53I mean, on Monday, I've got managers from all over the land coming to my centre.
23:57I've got to make the welcoming address to the Honourable Sebastian Coe.
24:01It was going to be the proudest moment of my life.
24:04And now?
24:05Well, now I've got to explain why the place is closed, the staff are on strike and there's no receptionist.
24:09Mr. Bitters, could I make a little suggestion?
24:19Carol, I heard you've been fired.
24:22Yes, yes, I have.
24:23But you're still here?
24:24No, no, I'm no longer the receptionist, actually.
24:26No?
24:28I'm manageress of the staff creche.
24:30I look after all the children of the working women of the centre.
24:33What children?
24:35Well, it's just the three at the moment.
24:37You mean yours?
24:38That's right.
24:39And where is this creche?
24:41Well, Mr. Bitters is going to provide us with proper facilities in a room of our own as soon as he has the resources.
24:46But until then, we're sort of based...
24:49Well, we're sort of based here.
24:51You mean they're all back in the drawers?
24:52Yes, and the advantage is I can stand in for the new receptionist until she's appointed.
24:58Whose idea was all this?
25:00It was Laura's, I think.
25:02Laura's back?
25:03She's here?
25:03Well, she's not actually here.
25:04She popped in before she went home.
25:06Did she get the job?
25:07Do you know I forgot to ask?
25:08I was so distracted with Mr. Bitterson.
25:14Bye-bye.
25:22Bye-bye.
25:52Laura.
25:54Hello.
25:55Not disturbing you, am I?
25:57No, no.
25:58I could do with a break.
25:59I just wanted to know how it went.
26:01What?
26:01This morning, the job.
26:03Oh, that.
26:04Fine.
26:05I like the man.
26:06He liked me.
26:07Did he?
26:08Mr. Bitterson wrote a very nice reference.
26:10He said I was a good choice for a woman.
26:13You got it.
26:14I did, actually.
26:16Oh, no.
26:17More money start in October.
26:20Look, Laura, I've no right to plead.
26:21I mean, I shouldn't ask anyone to stay, but things are bad enough as they are.
26:26I didn't take it.
26:27I mean, you saw what happened today when you were gone for four hours.
26:31And if you weren't there to pick up the pee.
26:36I'm not leaving.
26:37I didn't take the job.
26:41Come on, let's have a drink.
26:43Hello?
26:44Anyone at home?
26:45Sorry, Carol must have told him.
26:55So, I still have my deputy manager.
26:58I'm afraid so.
27:00Laura, there's absolutely nothing to be ashamed about.
27:04I'll tell you what, I'll ring the manager first thing in the morning and ask him exactly what
27:09it was he didn't like about you.
27:11They did like it, Gordon.
27:13They offered her the job.
27:16As a matter of fact, they did.
27:17But she's turned it down.
27:20She's going to stay.
27:22I'll go and get some more ice.
27:29Turned it down?
27:30The chance to manage her own leisure centre?
27:32Yes, isn't it wonderful?
27:34How could anyone turn down the chance to manage their own leisure centre?
27:40Well, it was in London.
27:42Precisely.
27:42A prime leisure centre in our capital city.
27:45How could she do it?
27:46I think that's your answer, Gordon.
27:48There.
27:54Where?
27:55I'm loving you.
27:57I mean, from the outside, it looks such an ordinary little house.
28:01And then you come round the back and there's always...
28:04The garden?
28:05She didn't move because of a garden?
28:07You're saying she thought Daliases and Pansies were more important than a leisure centre?
28:12Yes, I think so.
28:14My goodness me, there's some funny people in this world.
28:16Yeah.
