Transcript

00:00I was married for 57 years I think it was. I think we got the same hobbies, we were both

00:09church bell ringers. I used to go everywhere, all over the country really, bell ringing.

00:15He had a motorbike and we used to go out on this motorbike for rides and that's how it

00:21really started. I think we dated for about a couple of years and then we got married

00:26and we had three children. We had good times, good times really.

00:34I went to John Lee School and went to dates on that. You just go there and you think,

00:40oh I fancy her, do you want to come out? You've got a nice smile. I wrote one love letter

00:47when I was in junior school. That's probably a wrong time to start writing a complicated

00:52letter. It was worth a shot. Mostly they say no.

00:56I used to go to a club, a local club, a working men's club and she was there with her brother

01:02because I got introduced to her. I fancy a dance? So she said yes. So we danced and we

01:09danced all night and I said thank you very much. Can I have another dance sometime? She

01:14said whenever you want. And we set up this relationship and it just grew and grew and

01:21grew and so in the end I asked her if she would marry me. She said yes. We got married.

01:26I love my wife.

01:32It's different, that's what it is today.

01:34So there's an app called Tinder. Have you ever heard of it?

01:38Called what?

01:39Tinder.

01:40No, no, I've never heard of that.

01:41It shows you ladies.

01:43Oh right, yes, yes, I see that.

01:45I just swipe to the left.

01:48Oh yeah, I see. You obviously like that one.

01:56You've got some nice girlfriends.

01:58Yeah, yeah. Not so good.

02:02You knew I was going to say that.

02:10I don't know really. She doesn't look very happy. Well, I think it's best on the first

02:14day to go with somebody else to start with so you can provide me with an item here.

02:19That would be quite happy.

02:21Try to listen to each other. Everyone's got a viewpoint and accept their view. Don't think

02:28you're always right and they're always wrong.

02:31Right, so that's that. So that was Tinder. What do you think of that? It's weird, isn't it?

02:37Just seeing pictures. They're not all my girlfriends.

02:39Some of them were, weren't they?

02:41No, no, I don't know any of them.

02:43Really? What's the matter with you?
