00:25so we put a call out to our listeners in Burnley to see if anyone was called Emily.
00:30Obviously, on the show, you woo Emily in Paris, the city of love.
00:34On the line right now, we have actual Emily in Burnley. Good morning, Emily.
00:39Hello.
00:40Hey, Emily, how are you doing?
00:42Good, thank you.
00:43Good, good, good.
00:44Emily, whereabouts in Burnley are you from?
00:47Westbourne.
00:48Oh, okay, lovely part of the world. And you're a big fan of Emily in Paris, is that right?
00:54I am, yeah.
00:55Oh, well, this is just perfect. So, Lucian,
00:58Emily in Burnley has got three questions for you on how you would romance her Burnley style.
01:04Okay, here we go.
01:06Okay, so I've got, my first one is, where would you take me on a first date?
01:11We'd go Pepper Pot, Best Sandwiches, just by the Tim Bobbin pub.
01:16Oh, no way.
01:18Wait, I've never even heard of that.
01:20Well, there you go. It's something new we can explore together.
01:22Hang on, hang on. And Tim Bobbin shut down?
01:24Tim Bobbin has shut down.
01:25Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:25My uncle, Justin, used to go like that. What guy that ran it? I can't recall.
01:29Yeah, it's been shut down. I spent...
01:31Anyway, sorry, this is going to get very Burnley.
01:33Right, Tim Bobbin...
01:34So, we're going to the Pepper Pot?
01:35Yeah, we're going to the Pepper Pot, yeah.
01:36For a sandwich.
01:37For a sandwich.
01:38For a sandwich. What sandwich?
01:40Oh, I'm going to go bacon, sausage and egg.
01:42Oh.
01:43Double down on the sausage. Down sauce.
01:45Yes.
01:46No, not for me.
01:48Oh, sweet, sweet, sweet.
01:50I don't even know if he'll get a one.
01:51Oh.
01:54Hold on, hold on. Where would you love to go?
01:57Um, I'd say I quite like nature.
02:01So, I'd like to go on a big walk.
02:03We can walk to the Pepper Pot.
02:05With the dogs.
02:06Oh.
02:07What about, hang on, what about up Pendle Hill or singing Whistling Tree?
02:12Pendle Hill, up Pendle Hill.
02:13Pendle Hill, you've got Pendle Hill.
02:15Yes, I've got Pendle Hill.
02:16Yes, but not Pepper Pot.
02:18Emily, what's your second question for Lucien?
02:20Um, where would you take me on a staycation?
02:23Staycation? Um, wow.
02:28I don't know if this counts, but I'd probably do a little Mittenhall situation.
02:32Oh.
02:33That counts, right?
02:34Yeah, Mittenhall.
02:35Mittenhall.
02:36Yeah.
02:36A little bit into the River Valley.
02:37Yeah.
02:39It's a little bit oldie worldie.
02:41Yeah.
02:42So, this is a hotel. I'm just googling it now.
02:44It's staycation, right?
02:45Yeah, it's nice. My brother got married there.
02:46Did he?
02:47Mittenhall.
02:48Oh, okay.
02:48I've been there for a wedding.
02:50Sweet.
02:50Yeah, because you grew up in Fence, didn't you?
02:52No, I grew up in Burnley, then I moved out to the River Valley.
02:55Right, oh, okay.
02:56Right, okay. So, it's getting well Burnley there.
02:58Oh, it has Linden as well for a little bit of a change, yeah.
03:00Yeah.
03:01Right, your third and final question, please.
03:04I'm failing miserably here.
03:05Um, the place for a proposal.
03:08A proposal?
03:09You can pick in Burnley as well, yeah.
03:11Okay, um, proposal. Wow, that's the pressure.
03:13I'm sweating. My hands are sweating.
03:15Um, I'll probably have to say...
03:18I'm gonna run it back. I'm gonna pull out Pendle Hill for this one.
03:22Sunset.
03:23Oh, that's a good one. That's nice.
03:25We can get the dog involved as well.
03:27Yeah, got four.
03:29Four? Wow.
03:31Emily, are you married?
03:32I am.
03:33Oh, okay. So, does Ellucian's proposal sound better than...
03:37Yeah, do you know what? It is better because my husband forced me in the car.
03:42Listen, I love that. I love that. You said yes though.
03:45You said yes. You said yes. You said yes.
03:47Good luck to you, girl.
03:49Power to you, brother. Power to you, brother.
03:52I don't know about you, but I'd love to see a spin-off of Emily and Burnley on Netflix.
03:57And Emily and Burnley, thank you for being such a good sport. Give it up for them.
04:00Thank you, Emily.
04:01Ellucian.
04:02Ellucian.
