00:00 Good afternoon, it's Chris here with your top three stories today, Wednesday, August the 30th.
00:04 Number one, Sheffield rescue dogs. These 13 adorable pups are looking for some luck in finding a new home.
00:10 Number two, suspended sentence for man who drove stolen car wrong way around a roundabout during dangerous chase.
00:18 Number three, Meadowhall agrees to move lift, blocking view of new sports direct and frasers.
00:23 That's it from me, have a great day and we'll see you tomorrow.
00:25 Yeah, I'll do, yeah. Yeah. And is COVID still a worry for you? Do you still kind of feel like people need to...
00:32 It's not really a worry for me. I have had it and it went, it went great. I wouldn't like it again.
00:39 So I think it's the same as anything. If it's like, if there's a feeling like that again, I wouldn't mind having another jab.
00:45 How much would you be willing to pay for the jab?
00:48 I reckon as much as like a blue jab cost, which is I think no more than like 20 quid. So yeah, about 20.
00:57 And do you think that as many people as possible should carry on getting the boosters?
01:03 I suppose if they can afford it, that's the thing isn't it? If they wouldn't have to start in charging for it, it's going to be trickier.
01:11 But I suppose if they gave, you know, like they give pensions free blue jabs, that kind of thing, it can help out people who need it.
01:19 But yeah, generally I think like, you know, people should be able to afford money now.
01:28 Yes, I would if it was necessary and a payment was needed, yes, I would do that.
01:33 And is there like a maximum amount that you would be willing to pay?
01:37 Oh, I don't know. It would depend what the maximum amount was. If they said it was £4,000, I might decide to give it another follow-up.
01:44 What do you think is an acceptable amount to charge?
01:47 Oh, I think a maximum of £10, but in certain circumstances, obviously that would be far too much, wouldn't it?
01:55 Yeah, and do you think that, you know, in order for the booster to work, maybe lots of people need to agree to pay this amount? Or what's your opinion?
02:05 Well, I don't know. Would we be having a referendum on this matter? Or how would it be instituted?
02:12 Yeah, you can't make everyone mandatory pay to have a booster.
02:15 No, no, quite. So, you know, there would be surely have to be some agreement from somewhere.
02:21 Are you still worried about getting Covid today?
02:24 Well, I'm not particularly worried, but I don't particularly want to die of it. So I always use hand gel and wear a mask.
02:30 Except today when I speak in theory.
