How you have dealt with that in your life usual number 034530858 mark at b.b.c. Dot com dot u.k. I suspect Claudia Valley me from London might just be able to inspire you she's become an Internet sensation with the way she dealt with a rejection letter from Oxford University joins us now Hi Claudia hello when you got this letter that opened it up took a deep breath read it how did you feel. Vaguely it was a bit disappointing. It's never her a fun to get rejected from Oxford and. I wasn't completely help broken could you know there are good you need. You see you could have just thrown it away set fire to it yet you decided to do something a little different Yeah I well I looked at it and it seemed sort of like a monument It's not often you get a letter for you from Oxford. You know it was meaningful so I just have not to make something out of it I suppose which is a very sensible idea and York streaming creative clearly Can you describe what it was that you made. I caught up words from the letter so significant phrases from it. And I stuck it stuck them into a painting as a sort of abstract. It is a it's quite inspirational and they make you feel better once you've done it it did actually it was therapeutic but of painting it helps when I was very colorful and I know nothing about modern art but others have compared it to paintings by quite famous people yeah they have. A slightly slightly surreal Yeah it was. I mean it's hard to say it was very intuitive but. People have compared it to yeah sort of significant abstract artists very flattered about where had you been expecting to go and study art in the 1st place see university Oh no actually I applied for classics maybe a rethink is is on the cards anyway your mum Claudia tweeted a picture and it went viral when did you 1st become aware that there were quite a lot of people looking at forwarding and commenting on your work. Well God I could never expected it oh you know I was at school I just got this text from my mom. It was a screen shot that was saying she was trending in the u.k. And I was like why the hell is trending in the u.k. It was because of that and where is the picture now. On my kitchen table. It's tucked into a book just so I don't spill it thing all that very sensible when you passed all this on to your schoolmates we presume you all reached for your phones when a break in class meant that you could and so what was going on what did they have to say. I mean they're mostly just shocked because you never expect something to go viral it's the Internet or the strange thing but you know they're really proud and excited it's been a good weeks considering I got rejected from Oxford to write well for anyone who hasn't seen it yet we put it on our social media as well on Facebook and on Twitter just to make your phone go even crazier than he already has now you're quite happy and you're quite confident because who cares about this rejection because you have a plan tell me what you're going to do next. Well I've got off to some some really good unis at the moment I'm. Partial to Darwin which seems beautiful how you have to get the Great. Hopefully I'll be heading that an amazing city and a fantastic university if you get there Claudia you'll have an amazing time very well done on that and on your wonderful arts great to talk to. You too that Claudia volley me from London. Did something really quite inspirational with a rejection letter from the university and that picture that work of art has now gone global Facebook dot com for slash mark for show not for show on Twitter you if you have yet to see it get a look back at some very famous rejections that have really backfired in just a moment and if you want to tell me when you were rejected on a very memorable occasion and more specifically what happened next especially if it all worked out in the end better than you'd hoped that a great. Text on. The Sam Cooke wonderful world it's about being turned down about being rejected for a job perhaps for a date turned down 3 times who I thought was my dream house over the years. It clearly wasn't because the one that ended up buying was way way better off and that's the case he had a few moments ago from Claudia me who turned her university rejection night into a work of art she's not the only person who's been knocked back and then bounced back over the years. January the 1st 1962 and after Decca Records in London someone widely believed to be a dick Rowe turned down the Fab 4 apparently saying guitar groups are on their way out and the Beatles have no future in show business. 979 Alexander Sinclair from areso records wrote to Mr Peter Houston from Dublin telling him that after careful consideration his tape of his band was not suitable for them . Otherwise known as the band of course. But it's not just the world of music where there's rejection aplenty j.k. Rowling was turned away by 12 different publishers one who told her not to quit her day job well Stephen King rejected himself by throwing his manuscript of Kerry in the bin having been refused so many times by publishers it was rescued by his wife and went on to the 1st of many bestsellers and going back a little further an editor at The San Francisco Examiner fired Rajab Kipling saying I'm sorry but you just don't know how to use the English language. Walt Disney was sacked from a job on the Kansas City Star newspaper after being told he lacked imagination and had no good ideas. And Steven Spielberg was refused the show tonight head Claudia. From London who got a reject letter from Oxford University turned it into a wonderful piece of art she has now had that piece of art fud by people on social media all over the world 1st Gaghan from John in Mill Hill in North London Claudia should get the turned down prize for the painting can we make up the last gag thank you out my next guest has had his rejection broadcast to millions of viewers it happened on b.b.c. Television's Dragons' Den programme but now Rob lol and he's trying keys are a huge success Rob had a good evening good even for. Body who hasn't been in an airport departure lounge of late just describe what a trunk use with a trunk is brightly colored plastic suitcases that children. Keeping them entertained all the travel journey they come with shoulder straps that double as towing the parents can tow their tops to the departure gate and they come in a range of brightly colored animals characters vehicles we got from our truck and just launched a unicorn version goodness gracious but it didn't look as though it was going to go to the like as well as it clearly has when you 1st went on Dragons' Den seeking investment in your business you were great your pitch was fine were very confident the chunky looked good and then it all went wrong. With interest in like you. Yes so perfectly I took Richard Farley this is season 3 so 10 years ago went on Dragons' Den to Richard Foley when the studio pitch was gone perfectly and then I think I got his hand on it and as we all know she likes to really test products and ripping off the towing strap and claim that it was an unsafe poor quality product and unfortunately the dragons all kind of believe that. What's amazing about that program is that you feel every little bit of the emotion of those who are doing the pitching and you could see it written large all over your face how did you keep those emotions under control. It was really was very surreal it was like an antibody experience was seeing this car crash right wind in front and they. Really kind of struggle to to get the picture back on form after that because it was quite clear that the dragons just weren't interested anymore so it really was damage limitation and that's the turning point isn't it because you went on that and it is upon you do gamble with your integrity and with whatever it is that you have thrown everything into up to that point in your life how did you personally at that time deal with that rejection because it's big. Leaving the icon of really wish I'd invented a time machine and lo Roy don't see cakes but I remember crying into my point. A good friend of mine in London after the film. When they says I'm going to ruin my business and I actually didn't care for the 6 months and within that Singh's period we started exporting all over the world were winning awards getting lots of press and we were selling a feature in humans but I was really struggling to get trunk he listed in the high street retailers because the luggage buyers kept telling me I did mention the toy in the toy buyers told me and. No want to list the products the night program actually had the b.b.c. Advertised as we the rubbish so. I think of a new guy Simpson. But I really thought this is going to be a car crash again and I thought well I'm going to have a lot of people coming to the website but I guess I'm not going to make a single sales haul put a survey are asking for people to put that feedback forward on what they thought of the product and that night over 2000 people filled in the survey with phenomenal words of support we sold a shed load on line and it was a real honor turning point I've been trying to get into John Lewis a major department store. And they kept pressing around various points to Dragons' Den and I finally got my foot in the door the like it we got national distribution and. Couldn't keep up with demand for the 1st couple years deliberations when it's all come good for you the company use huge as you say you're bringing out new products all the time the newspapers tell me you personally are now or multi millionaire What's your best advice for someone who does face rejection or failure how do you take that not give up and turn it into a positive when I think Life isn't easy and we face adversity all the time and it's how you face up to that can help for any search. Challenges before even Dragons' Den and I had rejection from manufacturers I had felt licensing they were trying to another company they combust just before dragons and had the British government banned hand luggage and I just launched a children's hand luggage business so it was on the height of the terrorist threats of the summer of 2006 so there were quite a few challenges that led up to Dragon stance I guess I'll send the Welsh as even 1st with housework only. But it's really kind of expecting you're going to have some challenges along the way in facing up to them as quickly as you can to overcome them rather than running away from scaring away from. These kind of things that make us stronger so seeing as an opportunity to learn and to develop and find change things rather than just walk away great advice. I should have told you all but if you graduations. Rob Lowe creator and c.e.o. Of. Rejection. I'm into the most extraordinary amounts of opportunity about you but if you take a rejection turn it around come on so much better things b.b.c. Radio Jessie. Close. To 0. 00. 0. 0. 000. 000. 00000. 00. 00. 00. 00. I would say. Ok. To need this is how I know hello here in Jan 77 I turned down a place of Cambridge parents teachers and the college with ballistic Mehldau they refused to accept my decision we started half an hour ago the start of the show hearing from someone who took rejection from Oxford in this case turned into a piece of art it has now gone global If I say show media how do you deal how do you cope with rejection Hi Rita in Bradford on a even in Welsh or. Gymnastics tell me the story what happened well my very 1st competition been doing gymnastics Olympic gymnastics maybe a year a star in the early sixty's and my mentored me by West competition and I was last of about 19. And we came back on the train in the competition and I said it's never ever going to happen to me again and I entered the following year having done a whole year of serious practice and training and what have you and I won the competition . And what was it within your younger self that allowed you to go back and try again when you've failed so spectacularly 1st time around and I don't know just sheer determination I I didn't like being last in anything ever. I don't mind losing bike I want to be last good for you read to you showed I'm John is in London Hi John good evening Mark your professional photography that's right I'm a photographer and always want to be a photographer and many years ago and I used to live in Preston in like I tried to like treatment post and got rejected but I got taken on by you remember to day news . And I worked for The Times as well. Many other big public. Publications I even did a. Famous picture or a picture that became famous I didn't name it but it was when Tony Blair given the power and I to him and his 100 lady M.P.'s that was called Blair's Babes I remember that I was a fisherman all over but I photographed Mandela Thatcher Cameron even Theresa May when she got elected. Many many famous people sense and I was determined that the rejection by the post wouldn't wouldn't stop me and where did that come from because so many people want to do a job that's as glamorous as that very few succeed I think I think there's nothing there's no better drive them off than someone telling you that you can't or you should try something else and you decided you would prove them wrong exactly I think that hopefully something that my children will inherit because I think that you can do whatever you set your mind to do. What a great job you had before. Talking about coping with. Something. That was much better than you could ever have believed possible story. 34530858. But the key. Just before. 3. 123. 84. Tripe kidneys. Physically feeling. About 678 years old. My paternal grandmother granddad though he didn't do the cooking she did and that money I mean they were poor but clearly she thought eating stuff like this was quite character building and she would always serve as tripe and onions never knew what it was low the texture if I had known what it was certainly would have eaten it. That before she said that as a starter it would get what she called her dirty bone soup she'd go to the butchers get the bones that were normally bought by people who wanted to give them to their dogs and she'd boil them up for about 4 hours tiny little bits of meat that were left on that would fall off and that would be the substance of the soup it was like a sort of. Cruel with a slew of salt pepper and not very much of a taste but if you're a fan of awful and it has stayed with you all your life you will enjoy this it looks as though tripe could be making a comeback Well at least in Leeds after a new trite counter opened in the city's historic gate market Charles has left went along to put his tastebuds to the test trying some people talk a lot of it other people can't even bear the sound of it but I'm here to tell you that tripe Spock as hell is a bit more about it Carol rums than from Rumson fishmongers because she's got a very own tripe counter where you can eat it on the spot so why try things Scouse the honeycomb and then takes a back out this. Can sound but this is all to take and bleached and cooked before we get sick so it's all ready for the tank trying to trend isn't it now to take on the continent always out Spain is just in England over the. Older generations died off the. Rocks or is it the proof's in the pudding so I've got a little tiring cup full of delights in here to take me through what we've got you've got your honey comb that try you've got the chitterlings that you've got they press moles that you've got the cow we'll that and the brawn that all the cow here now for 3 finger for but the rest are all in the space sticks and so do we need to season them 1st usually. Right and which ones are oh well she got a hit from the bit the vinegar. Gelatinous firm. Oh a nice bit of pepper actually enough to say so on the tongue you know what I was quite quite nice I was. I was I was. But so yeah honeycomb tripe that starts very nicely but gelatinous I quite like the honeycomb texture of chili so I want what's the next one then you've got the Brolin try the bronze so this is picture. Of the picture lovely never loves call Maxwell Kalai cash cow Hale the one I'm really looking for right again it's why. I'm. A bit like jelly so that I can imagine oh my god stop not not no offensive it's all I can quite nice in the vinegar hate and the on the mall's. Pig stomach but not right. You know what's out of all of them probably my favorite Very interesting well I've got to say I've been pleasantly surprised to see me get everything I don't know what my face was doing while I was 8 in the well. The more people that try it like you say you get pleasantly surprised with the close your eyes we're getting today if it's the 1st time and then after that it's been a revelation to come out take some Mickey for home with me though yes. Close your eyes when you're eating it was the 1st time always right good advice from Charles Hazlitt the reporter. Fancied trying a little awful awful afficionados shares his why experience knowledge I have to Mom. Told me to get. In the game. In. The. River a train just called a show tripod audience jellied eels wonderful Cortez a new chat from Michael in rather a sweet breads. Fry between bread and butter with mustard on acid tripe boiled with onions a white sauce taken around with mashed potatoes have it once a week and this is Rich every couple of weeks I pan fry myself Lamb's liver onions and bacon in separate crushed and gravy young Cecil tempting you are you feeling absolutely ravenous Now if you think all this talk of meat is allowed to try hopefully will find this fella awfully good he's called how he Martinez is from the awful club in Manchester Hi How are you I believe you Mark I'm very well thank you how did this awful club of yours get started I was going to make some really oh not started about friends he is ago me and my 2 best friends Jason and Simon and our wives and girlfriends at the time. Were awful denies So they didn't join us so just a bit more boys evening we've got to get them play consoles and awful and just developed from there and what is it about these slightly obscure cuts because for many it's a bit of an acquired taste. It is an acquired taste we've heard a couple who fortunate instances of warm up sickly we call with their spleen which wasn't very pleasant in the slightest since the truck from the more adventurous side waffle and stuck to the Staples large kidneys and liver. But venture into sweet breads and all kinds of things were cricket to the us 100000000000000 awful. All the above been awful depending on what the point was but yeah it's just a direct use for boys to get together and drink wine and. Awful it is interesting isn't it because at a time when many people are cutting out meat or at least cutting down on your kind of acting your your quotient Why would you want to be doing that. Well this is funny she should mention that some of our vegetarian friends are really they really get the idea of eating awful the so much waste goes in to meat production because people just want to modernize little squares of meats neatly clingfilm impulse starring trays and there's no connection to the animal so of age 10 fans we get that if you're going to eat meat eat the whole army will if you're going to eat meat then become vegetarian but don't just stick to these are little squares of meat where there's no connection to where it's come from and looking at one of your past menus Icelandic black putting chicken livers on a better p. Green pea and pigs Trotter soup Jamaica oxtail with chili it's quite full on if I want to sort of dip my toe in the water of my own awful club and not scare myself in the horses where would I start the 1st male that we all really bonded over was a best before Mary Berry It wasn't a cake thing. In her cookbook she cooks a French stew with kidneys called kidneys her go and that was the 1st meal really from the start of the awful club that we all really loved and it kind of just developed from there so because a good place a star lums liver is a must if I've managed to so delicate the flavor but I've got to wait and see on the menu always zone because if it's cooked well pink in the middle it's an absolute joy to eat is it is it not just about being a bit of an alpha male to show you can eat all this stuff and it is actually take the regular cuts nobody is just it's moment excuse for for us boys to get together and it's more of a special interest club I mean he has been leveled at the Bieber alpha male about it but you know the end of the day 6 boys getting together doing of the things of the typical boy the night. If I can. Play golf and it's a bit different during that you know good on the public good football because Dayton played consols and not eat anything there's lots of stereotypical boys pursuits that we could indulge in but this is among the. Those connectors all together and has been going since years has amazing Now we started this conversation because we heard the reporter managed to go over this q. Tripe counter had opened up in Leeds market they say that tribe is making a comeback where would you put tripe in the in the pecking order of awful before you know what we have slain we've become developed a dumb taste 77 levels of hell and spleen was very much down in the bottom up that say try peace is it's fair to middling it's not the most. Not most adventurous awful but it's also certainly not the most accessible of the awful family I mean you've been doing this and you'll be doing this for 2 decades now 20 years I mean are you saying awful becoming more popular what would seem to start off as free verse 3 best mates in bunches. This 12 years now that regularly every saw 6 to 8 weeks so all it'll grow to get more followers on Twitter more people check our blog out. So yeah I would say there's a huge surge specifically about tried something that the food isn't the whole blog or food network out there and people are generally interested in people just doing different things coming at food from from different angles and different perspectives in and you know but the blogosphere is very much a network of people that are interested in other people's interests clearly Selena's navigator back on your menu if you go to any other red lines. No was the 1st level I'd I'm sure there would be all the off fulls he did the thing is easy is just getting access to the more adventurous type of awful stuff good to see a vigil question if you weren't such at your own club I would say developing a good relationship with the butcher is key to any kind of successful awful evening because they can definitely soul stuff that you can't get in your little post firing trays cling film to your local supermarkets so developing a relationship with your bookshops they will be cater to any kind of a flood bunches that's a really good. All the best hope the next one goes really well I told you how we Martino's from the awful club in Manchester up to be going 20 years yet the blogs really good actually were pushed next to Facebook dot com for slash mark for us check.

Sister Agatha past 8. In . It's over to you this satellite has been designed to measure wind speeds across the planet it's set to be launched into space once it's that. It will be able to predict the weather on the basis of the speed of the wind sounds good Absolutely it's weather space when down to you 81 triple 3 Start your text Mark Mark at b.b.c. Doco dot u.k. What are we going to play right we've been discussing coping with rejection the comeback of tripe an awful in general we reflect we mull over some of the big news stories of the day and you know what one of today's biggest is the court when a fella called Doug Pauly now drugs a wheelchair user and he took 1st bus to court in 2012 after he was denied access to a bus because a woman with a push chair refused to move now if you have been with the show over the last 4 years you'll know that we've been following Doug story really closely as long as we have been on the air so I got him back on the phone now Doug Heye Good evening believe language that you were 1st Many congratulations I mean we have followed this through every twist and turn over the last 4 years or so this must be quite an amazing day for you yes yes isn't required to build up not just from anything but for quite a few people who this is quite important for you so yeah it's been been really surreal the quote good one in many ways I think and the reason it's taken so long is that it's had to go through the veriest layers of courts that we have in this country is that right now the 1st 3rd of the county courts and it was through the course of a pill now Supreme Court it's amazing how much quicker the bricks cases pressing through. Tell me about the ruling that because the 1st 2 courts they took opposite views on whether or not 1st bus had to ensure that you would have 1st call on the space what did the Supreme Court decide the Supreme Court decided that drivers have to not just accept when somebody says they can't move but if they look like they might be able to move you know they have to make some form of judgment basically because there's sometimes a certain circumstance where none will tell you the mightly disk. But the state think there are some just being selfish and just refusing to move for the sake of it or because they don't want to be bothered and the striker has to use a certain amount of persuasion and coercion whereas before it's just always asking them if they've shifted and they're not doing anything if they said no to the Supreme Court in your view go far enough with this judgement. My personal view is yes I think they probably did I mean it could be better still but the difficulty is that there's always got to be a certain amount of interpretation on such things because you know that there will always be exceptional circumstances and it's very difficult to put something absolutely clearly as to what should be done. About changing the culture people who might use the wheelchair space so you don't need to realize that you know that they will be required to move and it's not fair if they're taking up space when we say user needs to go on now the best that you couldn't get on all those years ago I was run by 1st boss managing director Giles certainly had this to say the judgment today is saying the drivers need to go further than that and they need to have been by polite but the need to say to a passenger you are required to move but of course we're still dependent on the goodwill of the passenger as we always have been and the driver has no legal powers quite a person to move nor do the police so we are still at the mercy of the custom of moving he seems to be implying chaos I mean that Doug nothing has really changed Yeah and there is the argument however the justices did also say that they bus driver should stop and refused to move the bus until the person was you know complied with the request and also at least one of the justices I think said that there's a thing called the conduct regulations which is a criminal obligation on the very same form as including passengers. And if they refuse a reasonable instruction from a driver. They are committing a criminal of the question as to whether it could be enforced but another thing that they judgements requested is that the government reconsider the law in the area and imo what they meant to say were people today are. Certain that they will be taking this into consideration and also the bill currently going through parliament says I'm very interested in the outcome of this case I think I might have said he last time you were on about a year ago I remember sitting on the I remember it was a 149 bus which went from Dolphin in east London to the city and just this occurrence came about the bus driver stopped a double decker bus lined up the middle door put the little ramp outside the wheelchair use of the bus to get on and everything came to a halt because there was a buggy in that space as so he made one announcement over the loudspeaker the lady of the baby would move stop the engine that was it but the engine and then senator would and everybody on that bus there were 40 or 50 people I realize were going nowhere and she moved straight away and it was now aggravation it was no shouting there was no collection or force the bus clearly was going No way could do you think we see Dr is everywhere now being given that instruction. Well I hope certainly didn't seem to say that this now went down the phone but you know the justices did say that that's what her. Boy knew but a lot Neuberger today he said directly in the summary. Only come to fail to have heard that bus driver said she was to move until the situation resolved presumably you would want to see a situation where the police were called when this thing happened no I don't want to see people sort of buses and I don't want to say the whole thing but this is it does the difficulty in the 6 of us difficult is the practical problems to travel in . But the other problem is that the fish just intense confrontation and it's personal conflict which it will you know that every city wants have to face every time that's a bust or risk facing or not know if I'm going to face that. Call in the police would be a. Mixed I just wish we didn't have to do this and the small minority of people who misuse the space misuse to move with them just a nice a really but sadly the world of the law if ever there is text is just coming from an anonymous text who says knowing in advance the upset he would cause in the great difficulty involved in getting a resolution I wouldn't get on a bus in my wheelchair in the 1st place getting at a generous mobility allowance. Enables me to use other forms of transport are you worried in a way that because this is become so high profile and as you say can cause such problems the more wheelchair users will be scared off using public transport Well there is a possibility of course but then I also know that a lot of disabled people already scared off using public transport because they face abuse from members of the public because drivers fail to meet their obligations not all member of the public are not all drivers of course but it's frequent occurrence. Publicising get through my case I don't know them and I hope that it means that more is done to prevent than to put people off that could be a side effect years has your campaigning work with bus companies in your sights is it behind you now. Not the slightest intention to go out succumb Tyrion on busses that it might mind problem is if I come across something but I think of an injustice towards disabled people understood relation to a certain extent I feel compelled to avenge something in my nature that. There were sometimes I didn't you know sometimes I make mistakes and don't make their oxygen the right things are never in the right way but ultimately you know exactly. That I think are wrong so I. Resonate with other disabled or not feel I have to Terminus are really good to have you on not only tonight but over the years as well that many Thanks thank you. Who won his Supreme Court case today against the bus operator 1st group. Babylon Now we've discussed organ donation many times on the show before but would you consider giving away an organ to help a complete stranger Tracey Jolliffe is a so-called al true istic donor she's already donated a kidney 16 eggs and 80 pints of blood and says she intends to leave her brain to science She joins us now Tracey good evening good evening now you are a medical professional is that what got you interested in organ donation in the 1st place. I think that was partly to do with Yes I work in the n.h.s. So I'm aware that you know people are in me. But what motivates you to actually give up parts of your body because we all know people are in need. Well you don't need 2 kidneys you only need one to function so we're all walking around with respect and although there is a risk to any operation. You know why not why not help somebody who needs one well I suppose because you have to have an operation and most people are terrified of hospitals and b. Of operations that's true I mean been an altruistic donors is not for everybody certainly it's not something I would have a you know make people feel guilty about doing but I think a lot of people just don't realize it's possible but they think that you have to be related to somebody or at least a very close friend but it is possible to donate you know out to a sickly and just give it to somebody who needs one so maybe people were more aware of it than you know a few more might come forward when I take your point that you don't necessarily need both your kidneys you could have a perfectly healthy and fulfilling life without one but the surgery itself in the process how dangerous is that well the process itself isn't dangerous leading up to you have to have a lot of medical tests it isn't something to do if you will you know very very scared of hospitals because you have to have lots of blood tests x. Rays scans various things like that so the actual process itself is quite involved because obviously the have to make sure that you'll see the healthy in order to donate the operation itself there's no getting away from it it is major surgery but it's the obviously only on very healthy people so the risk is minimal in terms of the type of procedure how long does it take to recover I was in hospital for 5 days and then probably a good 6 weeks before I was back to full health if you got quite a big ask for friends and family you can even if you are quite happy to do it yes yes I suppose it is I mean I do. I didn't need looking after I was only release you out of hospital if you will if you'll find so it wasn't like I was bed bound it just meant I couldn't go to work couldn't do anything too active she many I spose such doubt and how to discussion with themselves I've had it with myself on many occasions would I do it for a family member and when I say Southie Member How wide are my prepared to draw the circle why did you feel that you wanted to go beyond that I just wanted to do something nice I mean you know there was an opportunity to save a person's life and one sides read about it and I realized it was possible I couldn't really think of a reason not to do it or mention the kidney I mentioned that you'd donated eggs as well for those women who do not produce their own identity pints of blood as well. Is there a line that you draw on beyond which you would not tonight I have considered donating part of my liver which is also a possibility I haven't decided to do that yet because it is a much bigger operation than the kidney I'm not ruling out but it's not something I'm going to be doing straight away. And then of course once I'm dead I can have any say in the 9 months or enough when it comes to the liver that I'm betting my new one do they have to decide which bit to take they can take a fairly substantial piece of liver it has an amazing capacity to regenerate so they can take half your liver away and within 12 to 16 weeks it will grow back. It is an amazing organ so that is that is a possibility and what about contact from the people that you've helped is that allowed. I've never had any contact I know nothing about the person who got my kidney I don't know whether it was a man or a woman where about the country they lived and so I have no information and that's not that's the normal they can contact you anonymously through the hospital and some people have been contacted and very few occasions they have actually got round to meeting but that's quite an involved process but generally speaking no you have no idea you've been I said to I mention family and friends intervention before I have any ever said to you enough now Tracy No no I'm quite feisty thing and I think they know better than trying to talk me out of the stuff. A Florida really really fascinating chat Tracy thank you so much for coming on tonight no problem appreciated living donor Tracey Jolliffe who works with the charity give a kidney links on our Facebook page Facebook dot com for slash mark for a shout. I'm not quite sure how I feel now I feel slightly ashamed that I have done something similar but then slightly queasy thinking what Tracey has had to go through to be as altruistic as she had about you. Springfield you don't have to say you love me you were hearing about 510 minutes ago from Doug Pauly the campaigner who is at the Supreme Court today asserting his rights as a wheelchair user to be able to use the wheelchair space on the bus even if there are buggies already there Rob is in Stoke I agree with people having to move if they are on the bus but if the buses full wouldn't agree with people be asked to get off on triple tree that's the tech start your message Mark awful before 8 o'clock making a comeback apparently specifically tripe and called to say her dad used to cook the others of couse see that as much these days oh and thank goodness for that mark at b.b.c.

Always say is Syria have a playground when I was near the war you name it and it was a 23 bedroomed house and say it was requisitioned by War Office and say to my mother and I were allowed to live there in the war and we had the lantern rifle brigade initiator honest and to tell us the truth as a child that was place but the men of course it was the next stop before they went abroad and many never came back say I was. Sports hype and I think probably without realizing it I was used to giving your life people say the Who time. A life of luxury Well when I was about 6 my mother said you can have pocket money tuppence we sized Hawk lectureship Christmas she said that would be very convenient if that was the end of that conversation and I had to keep rabbit cycle get in some more money so it is an interesting juxtaposition because that is the perception your writes that because you're a young living in this large house you must have lived a life that that few of us could really about John but when you look at your life your father had died you were very young you were he set your mother and your family up very nicely hadn't he in this house but then he was that no longer I never and my mother was furious because Sat was this enormous house and then more. To the luxury of it I had a my pain and I had the business stable boy who looked after me and I had to grow but it was just life him dogs all day him the can or should was a dame that and then my nests and I were allowed to in the Hudson Terraplane which had a dicky say when my sisters and boyfriends went off and here library large in the dicky behind and sort of things like that which was say much it was just the end game but it's when reasons that you were presented you came out you were dead are you serious Oh yes yes it sadness but again my mother's side you want to hang about afterwards and she's in it and it was a job and I found a job working from Smith Maxwell family in Martin Morton in the March and there I still got my. Dress for that in my bag and then when I arrived there. The nes nanny there said wasn't a set. Dressed doing that with just being presented couple of days ago didn't have time to come straight away with it she said but you can to be the cook so I said Just cos I get with the cook I didn't say it was I think she was fairy fairy Why is my mother up across in a way because I be spoilt and I have to take the horses out in the off to new Natal derived from Allah and then by that time I had already called to follow as I was dazed to say cookie I'll follow this come and. Follow at the time when he was he was somebody called Jeremy Jeremy Chittenden and he was up at Cambridge at transition over Jeremy was absolutely the love of your life he wasn't just this another fantasy. But this is when I was I was in the present when I was 16 and. My my vacation didn't come until I was 20 say he was yes absolutely the life of my life and he had to look beyond and here so I do think that was quite good fun and I think at that point I we're going to play a track a but I want you to tell the story of why you didn't pursue life with Jeremy and why you your life took a very very different turn to Sister Agatha Tonight Show more from her in just a moment. The calm throughout. The. It's. Nothing. To come up. With. No means. Nothing to the. Street. To come up. With. The. Stuff come up. It's like it's my last lot more now with my. You guessed debutants who gave up the high society life to become a nun Sister I guess I was engaged to a debonair young man from Cambridge when the calling cad It was February the 4th and I was 20 and I was going to get married on October 3rd at and so I was writing to Jeremy who stood up at Cambridge and saying I think I've sold some nice dining room chairs try pretty a bit in for them and it was out of my hand went on with me realise years of my founders had written a sentence which was theirs I'm going to be a noun it wasn't just wrist just like that but once I had written it I knew that that was being as it were in the mind of a card or a charity it wasn't a social idea as he suddenly thought and the only thing this high remember Miles later years later I thought this was I had intimations of this and my great friend has just got engaged getting married and shots were you know 10 next year and I remember thinking Oh yes she is my dad was off myself as being and not know anything but it's told to possibly something I mean perhaps I thought I might be run over by bus don't you have to I'm saying very much what on earth did Jeremy say when he learned 8 months before his wedding that you'd suddenly has changed your mind then he came x. Less modest person he came straight from Tunisia and we walked from war in Windsor Park and I said take it which the other insta asked and he said it's between me and guard it's obvious who skate to win. I thought Gosh what a wimp. And yes he missed strangely territory under Stuart and I remember him up at a bar and me and his says it's a k. . I would take you all my mess precious gift I will take you and give you a card and of course he failed his finals because it was sort of thing like that his is some he and his parents sent him to radiation as it was in this days and they said to me and the common because you ruined his life and say he said you write to him and say you would have gone. The show if it came and collected me in the look around brought me to ask it which is where I was joining the order and I remember him again we think I could take off my make up in a play say results from him scrapped out for my make happen Chad changed into what I thought I was clueless I had p.j. Inside some cloth which was sacked. And Hetch Hetchy cough it oh my God I looked and the Macintosh I bought must be the variety that they'd be wearing was after I'd been there a few days it was given to the nun who cleaned out the chicken so it would say it yes but it was such an extraordinary change in your life because back via me things are very different now but back then you would have had very few visits you would be able to chats March the the rules have been enormously strict and he has put that as such or he would see if it would be more of the same I couldn't toll but because it was safe to say today different it made it possible for us to missed huge aspects of your life surely because it was so different because it was so different it made it possible I shirked off everything I could and Jeremy said touchingly used to come once a month and speak to my novice to rectify with I'm Zoraida because the training for not sits alone whole Jerry was able to go off and he married into Jada how to live today. Yes To begin with he waited until I've made my final vows as I as I said to the father I think this is rather humorous but Nate 1st of all he became rim casting because he thought that seeing a raccoon become stay with you. And say that that was his 1st and his 2nd move was he went and tried his fake Asian which of course he hadn't caught a break ation a toe at Downside net and loss of a long but he did everything he possibly could and then he waited actually I thought he waited for 8 years because he read to me and said he was going to marry biggie. And I rate back I had new connection with him and other things was not as strict then I'd like to happen like have to come back straight in again I mean you know one is remain suppress some money is and Jeremy as far as I was concerned was mine even though I was in a competent I thought you know something would happen and we'd meet in heaven that would be it. To see what you made We're almost out of times it's like I know it was so much to talk about to so much more the book would you ended up at the oldest convent in the country the book.

Though of course we haven't got to the stage where the bus driver is expected to chuck anybody off physically and the police will not be called but insist is the word they're now using which should please that text at 8 want to be free of the tech start mark to get in touch and on Twitter Mrs c.

For Slash Mark Frost the show will be available from 10 tonight a university academic has recreated what he says is the strange acoustic of Stonehenge from 3000 b.c. Much of the stone circles been lost over the years but Dr Rupert till from the University of Huddersfield has used technology developed for games and virtual reality to take us back to experience what he thinks was a key part of its meaning for people it sound. It's cold. And I can hear footsteps in the just in time for the 3 of 3 but I'm here with Dr Rubin tell to try to listen to a different sound so we're just walking into this circle of Stonehenge architecture and acoustics are the same thing if you build something in a circle it will have circular acoustics so here's standing right in the center of that stone circle when I hated the sound leaves me it hits every stone at the edge at the same time and returns at the same time so you get a focus there. And actually the more noise you make the more effect there is if you come here on the sofa this when there's maybe a 1000 people standing in this circle it stimulates some to look back to. The circle of stones amplifies certain bass frequencies about an octave lower than the lowest notes of bass voice. It's the sound that's talked about by Thomas Hardy in tests of the. Monstrous places that. Tongue. Listened the wind playing on the edges produced a booming. Like the no to some gigantic one string. He wasn't the only one to remark on the sound within the Stones The problem is that what we hear today is only a polluted fragment of what would have been heard 4000 years ago many of the stains of been taken away from the site many of fallen down lots of generated in the color didn't like Susan greeny as the site's historian it's a wreck really of what was originally here that's what you're looking at a ruin it would be quite nice to be able to stand here with mercury r.c. And see the original thing wouldn't it would be amazing Yes and see all the lentils on the top of the out circle to see all the trials some still standing and they would have been it would it's all in. Stand with today I think will be even more science and so Rupert still has created a virtual Stone Henge using technology pioneered in the games industry it's a digital tour of the stones intact as they were 3000 years ago and on the new app he's created a soundscape with the instruments at the time. And the inspiration for this interest in ancient soundscapes comes from the discovery that people weren't just painting in ancient caves the oldest was going to France the thing found just. About 40000 years ago and they have often been found in caves we've seen. In these cases I've been into some Starwood types that when you hit them they ring on the ones that ring so on the one that doesn't ring and that 1000 of them are quite. Fascinating stuff Dr Patel from the University of how does feel talking to David Souter. You want to talk about the clocks talk about final resting place. Tony are you there. Certainly was a moment ago at a walk the line must just have dropped for a 2nd if you stick with me we're getting back to be there now I'm here hello that wonderful good to talk to tell me what you do a sacred stands gosh it's what a great question so essentially what we're doing is we're building staying structures by hand they are interpretations of what are called Barrows which thousands of years ago were there to principally serve community and offer a place of pilgrimage it was very much a structure to house the dead the difference between what we do what the ancients do in some respects sees is actually very slight practically we simply provide a storage facility for crim a shoe Nash's human creation actually is. But in many ways the fan and we draw on ancient design and sort of craftsmanship which hasn't really changed a great deal the way you would use a hammer or another stone to come out of a stone that hasn't changed but what is timeless I think what we're doing is creating an opportunity for people to commune to come together in a very peaceful. Spiritual environment which isn't religious necessarily It could be if you want but it is it doesn't have to be and to actually share something and I think my sense is from having spoken to archaeologists and. Members of the faith community you know sort of thing I think that's just innate and all of us and what we seem to a stumbled upon is. A structure which offers a degree of integrity that perhaps isn't seen in existing memorials today and I have to say the confidence in what we're doing is really only borne out of watching people inside these barricades to see how they behave how they. Become very emotional they are very happy they're very elated and it's a curious thing that I hadn't anticipated but I saw 2 bears in 20141 was the West Kennet which is a very old one which is damp and cold and frankly very old and then I saw a modern one which my stone masons had just completed which is built in a village called all Canning's in Wiltshire and I was I was staggered I couldn't believe how energized people were when they went in I'm not for one moment suggesting there is an energy there not a tool it's very much about how people react within a space very much as the previous. Chap was discussing sound revolving around a circle. My sense is that the structures we build which are principally circular nature do seem to. Allow people to. I share a level of emotion energy which I have been told by our customers they simply don't find that in existing burial grounds or or sort of memorial gardens we should describe Toby in a little more detail I think what these long viruses look like certainly the ones that you were building so mounds of earth with a stone structure a door that's what it would look like from the outside Yes Very much so and him in many respects what I really want people to do is come see them being built so you can actually engage with the structure we were told we have one just 10 minutes from where I live in came which are called Willow row and we were consistently told that this circular structure which is built above the ground it's not sub trainee and it's about $11.00 metres in diameter made out of limestone entirely by hand using lime mortar no cement no modern materials as such and it's about 5 in a bit metres tall essentially has a doomed roof which is called a corbel groove and then it is covered in soil so it's sort of. He's bedded into the landscape and many of our visitors when they sort being girls he goes for the shame to cover such a beautiful structure but in a bizarre sort of way it creates a great sense of the ETR you don't know quite what to expect and that's the thing is you walk inside aids and it's a load or you might bang your head if you're not on it opens up the idea sorry to interrupt you there the Long Bear and we'll should dance have a low low headroom at the entrance and that's very common in many many traditional barriers However our interpretation is going to mean it doesn't make sense so actually the doorways to our barrios are approximately 1.8 meters tall so no one's going to hit their novel. When you walk out I think it just describe what is inside what would I see so you are would walk in and Initially your eyes will take a moment or 2 to adjust it is dry it is very peaceful it is very quiet and the Chamber in front of you has York stone benches around the outside and the whole thing is illuminated just by natural daylight then if you care to light the candles which we do regularly there is a very soft warm glow within the interior and essentially around you are stone columns that rise up to what's called a ring beam which is essentially round of lintels and then above that is this beehive shaped dome to roof and when everyone walks in they sort of stand there and the jaw hits the floor and they sort of say wow I How did you do this it's amazing but I think that the curious thing I've learnt over the last. Really the daf year or so is that it is an amazing structure it's amazing that people can do this by hand and that really the techniques for creating the structure haven't changed that we must move on time is we talked a lot about the creation of the structure and it is fascinating but the people listening to as want to know exactly what you place inside because these columns that you described have these stone shelves I can see on your photographs candles are there but these are the shelves on which you would place urns is that the idea that is why this is somewhere where you can do Exactly exactly so it's for a criminal now why would that be well you know most people choose commission of a burial which is a fundamental change since the sixty's and there are a staggering number of cremation she's left and collected each year over $40000.00 according to the industry now that says to me gosh people don't acquire how to commemorate for all sorts of reasons I think is terribly sad so the shelves provide an opportunity for you to store cremation ashes we don't restrict how many you place onto the shelf onto your shelf and when the Ashes are there you are given a stone to cover the Nisha as it's called and the stone could be personalized with your name or indeed you could cut a hole in the stone and they bring you to see the cremation urns which for some people is very important that in time and can one get back inside then this is sealed up no hits as allowed it's very important to know this that one of the 1st lessons we learnt was from a lady who lost a son she said it was it was awful in itself of course but I felt I lost my son twice once at the Crimean War and then having put him behind a sort of a block wall I couldn't see him again and so we looked at each other my builder action I said Will we can fix that we'll just cut a hole in the hole could be could be a leaping salmon it could be a hair it could be a christened moon but the point is you need to cook. Mune you need to build to see and touch the urn because it's still very much seen as the person so you know this is very much more Granik organic growth in our story so you can place it in there you can take the face off put more in there's no restriction a tool which I think is a fundamental difference between anything you can do anywhere else but we've got about 30 seconds that I must ask you firstly locations you mentioned will she mention Cambridge or any more planned Shropshire near where yeah. And also in Hereford just south of Paul with a lovely and if I want to resign now these are hugely popular but if I want to secure one of these little shells How much do I need to pay it depends if it's just for one set of ashes for $99.00 going to be around 1900 pounds if it was for a larger knees. It would be between 3 or $4000.00 pounds but there's no restriction on how many hands you put in and for 99 years and by and large it's the same as all lower than the existing comparables in each of the regions really could have you on the show tonight fascinating project you've got going to be thank you very much that's Toby angel from Sacred stones talking about these modern equivalents of long Barrows which they're constructing around the country. Very different from. The Ashes. Along with. Being. Single isn't. Going to. Win. Them some good in the film. Some. Just. Choose to. Do it in order. To gain. The right. Just. If you want to. Put as many as you want. 3 to 4000 pounds is what it will cost since they all finished these by the looks of the website reserved right away so good luck with getting what we were talking about. Discussing a little earlier. On the boss who was a Supreme Court case earlier today. Who has been in touch. The problem over the last 4 years we've been really following him through the various courts that he has taken this to was on our program to really reflect how we felt about winning back case this from Nikki on that subject I've seen 4 bodies on our local buses in the northeast too proud in the disabled space and 2 in the problem space if it is able person wanted to get on no chance if the prime space is empty and a crime gets on their head straight to the disabled space the attitude toward disabled people is not good and I blame past and present governments making parents and kids more important than disabled people. 8 triple for you the text message markets market b.b.c. Talk show dot u.k. We were talking. Tripe sales on the rise John is pleased today. Nothing wrong with. My watch says. The. Street. One c 3. a bit lately what with the allegations of computer hacking tampering with the Us election and mass sports drug cheating but forget all about let's talk about a more positive thing to come from that country vodka the one we're talking about right now has not been distilled on the steps or Siberia This one's from Northamptonshire and made from items forage from head rose as Katherine going to cost is found out with Benjamin jelly from jelly distilleries. It's pretty much 2 years really to the not die of it here's the way it was decided it would be a one of the flawed there are lots of noise it's his ship it is a fine lines but it's still learnin but yeah it's amazing and every day is getting to the point now a lot of 2nd full time so it's everything I think very much of the way I grew up you know they were for the kids I'm still of elderflower is growing along has this is where I suppose in the early days a for all he got on my own that's waiting for him for a while to travel today when I was a student when you should be sent in materials the student line it was a waste of Oakland trainers that's what was bought and then and I've been passionate about the British products than the countryside and obviously out if I was bitten popper in the last few years and it's always flavor of law except on the fact it grows everywhere really but it all misses link to where I grew up so it was like on. A is quite quite cold and I'll see a lot of the hedges and things are looking that bad so how do you do that now this time of year. Hasn't come into season yet but as of this year it's going to be sourced from a local farm which is old we can put some you know last 2 years so all of us have seen the season in which the out of flowers come in. Saloon start as early as I pull it was a number of springs ago I was in a charity road along with my brother to take my mind off the pain I was spying out of flowers because we ran from harbor to Northampton side 10 miles away and I was to fight my legs will fall in a part of the Crowd Flower I know that day if I could see the bottle in front of me about the design of this that 2nd for an orange and black so obviously. In the navy blue. Say everything's going to myself there's a hidden message on the interior and I said is that just a passionate for English and independent product fairly sorry. And you see that she'd given up no day job yet to see a good job in the coming from the month he will tell you yes sorry I suppose it's been 2 years to get to this point and I haven't really started yet but it's all positive thing else because I have a project that maybe I can get get out obviously there's point there's quite a lot of independent drinks out left and the right is you know I a few other out of Florida inspired spirits and stuff but then it's always everything I wanted also to be slightly different Catherine Geiger Koskie talking to Benjamin jelly from jelly distilleries out of have ever tried fancy going to find out more about the latest in the world of vodka and Jane and whiskey is that more to your taste after Carole King What should i was. Now you just said about a vodka created from the fruits of the English countryside will we that be drinking more often 20. 17 invasion Ascii is a spirits writer who believes attitudes toward spirits have changed considerably over the last decade I mean there's been an incredible change because consumers are now much more interested in brands and the understory behind a brand which includes of course the provenance on the production process and in the u.k. For example it's been a huge growth in the number of distilleries So we've got a much bigger choice of as it were local brands let alone you know what's coming in from overseas that's really interesting so is the story more important than the taste no the story I think is part of the broad appeal of a brand obviously you know a great story has to have a product with a great taste and then they really really reinforce each other and these stories are what stories of people reinventing themselves families going back to their roots what sort of stories have attracted the drink is well it can be the person who's producing it it can be part of that sort of you know their quest to produce and create something otherwise it could also be you know what is this. Brand distilled from where are the greedy and skulls have a to it where news the harvest you know how and very much the production side of things as well because there's a huge interest you know for many years now in food and how food is produced and I think that that has now will so translated into spirits so people also very interested in the production methods that are applied to the ingredients which are distilled and also then the production process for the spirits themselves does that mean that we are drinking them more simply because I don't know a lot about vodka whisky Jim but one presumes if you just chop loads of stuffing on top of it you're rather masking this wonderful flavor. Was there's been a huge growth in cocktail culture in the u.k. . A for over the last 1520 years and cocktails are one way in which I think a lot of people are introduced to different spirit categories and also individual brands the thing that confuses me is that he has created cult town yeah all blending various different flavors together you may end up with something quite a long way removed from what was there in the original Vodka Whiskey or genius not a problem for the people who made it in the 1st place well if it gets people to try that cocktail and to think about the category or the brand then that's definitely at least a 1st step and you know some people perhaps prefer very fruity of the tasting called tales in which case you know why shouldn't they be catered for now your particular areas of expertise all vald care and whiskey if I want to go and buy a bottle perhaps as a gift I mean how do I know I'm purchasing a good vodka well always of course go to a trusted retailer with a good reputation and then the staff would be able to advise you on what the different options are because there are you know vodka is now available of various price points. Various styles of packaging. So you know there's a huge choice out there so if I'm paying I don't know twice the price of a regular supermarket brand what am I getting for that extra money. Various brands have their own you know sort of particular proposition so the price of the bottle will reflect various factors including you know the ingredients the cost of the production process and various other aspects and again you can you know think about the story behind the brand as part of your purchasing decision. It's fascinating isn't it that we've seen what has happened to Gene and vodka and you describe the way that individuals who have wanted to create something special a bandage to get their products out there and find a market for them when it comes to whisky it's always been classy there's always been a back story some of these distilleries have been in families for years many of them are very very small but for some it still has perhaps just the flavor of being something for posh older men is it ever going to be cool I think it is cool I think it's deeply cool because there's such an interesting production process for anyone who wants to get into it the history in the social history is fascinating and now there are whiskey festivals you know throughout the u.k. On a fairly regular basis and I do the festivals I go to you see a lot of different age ranges you know both genders represented and people are really interested in the flavor and the production process that goes to create that flavor so I think it is cool already spirits writer in ascii this year you know.

The Mavericks and danced the night away so I'm talking about rejection because it's something we all face from time to time we fail when we desperately want to succeed can you tell me how you have dealt with that in your life usual number 034530858 mark at b.b.c. Dot com dot u.k. I suspect Claudia Valley me from London might just be able to inspire you she's become an Internet sensation with the way she dealt with a rejection letter from Oxford University joins us now Hi Claudia when you got this letter that opened it up took a deep breath read it how did you feel. Obviously it was a bit disappointing. It's never hurry Fung to get rejected from Oxford. I wasn't completely you know there are good you need. You see you could have just thrown away said. Yes you decided to do something a little different Yeah well I looked at it and it seemed sort of like a monument It's not often you get a letter for you from Oxford. You know it was meaningful so I just had an urge to make something out of it I suppose which is a very sensible idea and York streaming creative clearly Can you describe what it was that you made. I caught up words from the latter sort of significant phrases from it. And I stuck it stuck them into a painting as a sort of abstract. It is a it's quite inspirational and they make you feel better once you've done it it did actually it was therapeutic but of painting. I was very colorful and I know nothing about modern art but others have compared it to paintings by quite famous people yeah they have. A slightly surreal Yeah it was. I mean it's hard to say it was very intuitive but. People have compared it to yeah sort of significant abstract artists very flattered about where had you been expecting to go and study art in the 1st place the university No actually I applied for a classic maybe a rethink is is on the cards anyway your mum Claudia tweeted a picture and it went viral when did you 1st become aware that there were quite a lot of people looking at forwarding and commenting on your work. Well God I could never expected it oh you know I was at school I just got this text from my mom. It was a screen shot that was saying she was trending in the u.k. And I was like why the hell is trending in the u.k. . It was because of that and where is the picture now. On my kitchen table. It's tucked into a book just so I don't spill it think on it very sensible when you passed all this on to your schoolmates we presume you all reached for your phones when a break in class meant that you could and so what was going on what did they have to say. I mean they were mostly just shocked because you never expect something to go viral so the Internet is a strange thing but you know they are really proud and excited it's been a good weeks considering I got rejected from Oxford to write well for anyone who hasn't seen it yet we put it on our social media as well on Facebook and on Twitter just to make your phone go even crazier than he already has now you're quite happy and you're quite confident because who cares about this rejection because you have a plan tell me what you're going to do next. Well I've got offers from some really good unis at the moment I'm. Partial to dollar which seems beautiful how you have to get the greats. Hopefully I'll be having that amazing city and a fantastic university if you get there Claudia you'll have an amazing time very well done on that and on your wonderful arts great to talk to you too that Claudia bully me from London. You did something really quite inspirational with a rejection letter from university and that picture that work of art has now gone global Facebook dot com for slash mark for show Mark for show on Twitter if you have yet to see it go look back at some very famous rejections that have really backfired in just a moment and if you want to tell me when you were rejected on a very memorable occasion and more specifically what happened next especially if it all worked out in the end better than you'd hoped that a great. Text on. The Sam Cooke wonderful world it's about being turned down about being rejected for a job perhaps for a date turned down 3 times who I thought was my dream house over the years and it clearly wasn't because the one that ended up by was way way better off and that's the case he had a few moments ago from Claudia Fellini who turned her university rejection night into a work of art she's not the only person who's been knocked back and then back over the years. January the 1st 1962 and after an audition at Decca Records in London someone widely believed to be a dick Rowe turned down the Fab 4 apparently saying guitar groups are on their way out and the Beatles have no future in show business. Whilst in 1979 Alexander Sinclair from areso records wrote to Mr Peter Houston from Dublin telling him that after careful consideration his tape of his band was not suitable for them to be Houston otherwise known as the band of course you to. Be a. But it's not just the world of music where there's rejection aplenty j.k. Rowling was turned away by 12 different publishers one who told her not to quit her day job well Stephen King rejected himself by throwing his manuscript of curry in the bin having been refused so many times by publishers it was rescued by his wife and went on to the 1st of many bestsellers and going back a little further an editor at The San Francisco Examiner fired Rajab Kipling saying I'm sorry but you just don't know how to use the English language you moved. From Disney was sacked from a job on the Kansas City Star newspaper after being told he lacked imagination and had no good ideas. And Steven Spielberg was refused a place at the University of Southern California's School of Theater Film and Television 3 times. When after rejection Have you had the last laugh 81 triple 3 is the tax dodge a message Mark you can hear from somebody else who had tonight a head cold. From London who got a reject letter from Oxford University turned it into a wonderful piece of art she has now had that piece of art viewed by people on social media all over the world 1st Gaghan from John in Mill Hill in North London Claudia should get the turned down prize for parenting can we make up the last gag thank you but out my next guest has had his rejection broadcast to millions of viewers it happened on b.b.c. Television's Dragons' Den programme but now Rob law and his trunk keys are a huge success Rob had a good evening and even mark for. Body who hasn't been in an airport departure lounge of late just describe what a trunk use with a trunk is brightly colored plastic suitcases that children. Keeping them entertained on their travel journey they come with shoulder straps that double as towing leashes so parents can tow their tired tops to the departure gate and they come in a range of brightly colored animals characters vehicles we've got a truck and we've just launched a unicorn version goodness gracious but it didn't look as though it was going to go to the like as well as it clearly has when you 1st went on Dragons' Den seeking investment in your business you were great your pitch was fine you were very confident the chunky looked good and then it all went wrong. 10 like you. Perfectly I totally Richard Farley this is season 3 so 10 years ago went on Dragons' Den to Richard Foley when the studio pitch was going to perfectly and then I think I got his hands on it and as we all know she likes to really test products and ripping off the towing strap claim that it was an unsafe poor quality product and unfortunately the dragons all kind of believe that. What's amazing about that program is that you feel every little bit of the emotion of those who are doing the pitching and you could see it written large all over your face how did you keep those emotions under control. Really was very surreal it was like intense body experience was seeing this car crash and running wind in front and they. Really kind of struggle to get to get the picture back on form after that because that was quite clear that the dragons just weren't interested anymore so. It really was damage limitation and that's the point isn't it because you you went on that and it is upon you do gamble with your integrity and with what it ever it is that you have thrown everything into up to that point in your life how did you personally at that time deal with that rejection because it's big. Leaving that and I like on of really wish I'd invented the time machine and lo Roy don't see cakes but I remember crawling into my point. A good friend of mine in London after the filming. When they says I'm going to ruin my business and I actually didn't care for the 6 months and within that sings period we started exporting all over the world we winning awards getting lots of press and we were selling sheets of consumers really struggling to get trunk he listed in High Street retailers because the luggage buyers kept telling me I did mention the toy in the toy buyers told me and. No one wants to list the products the night program at Yad the B.B.C.'s. The rubbish so I think of a new guy since. I really thought this is going to be a car crash again and I thought well I'm going to have a lot of people coming to the website but I guess I'm not going to make sales all put a survey are asking for people to put their feedback forward on what they thought of the product and that night over 2000 people filled in the survey with phenomenal words of support we sold a shed load on line and it was a real con a turning point I've been trying to get into John Lewis a major department store strong. And they kept pressing around very sparse and that's Dragon's Den and I finally got one from the door like it's we've got national distribution and the guy couldn't keep up with demand for the 1st couple of years is what it's all come good for you the company use huge as you say you're bringing out new products all the time the newspapers tell me you personally on our multi millionaire What's your best advice for someone who does face rejection or failure how do you take that not give up and turn it into a positive. I think Life isn't easy and we face adversity all the time and it's how you face up to that can help for any search are quite a few business challenges before even Dragons' Den and I had rejection from manufacturers I had felt licensing they were trying to another company they combust just before Dragons' Den and the British government banned and luggage and I just launched a children's hand luggage business so it was on the height of the terrorist threats of the summer of 2006 so there were quite a few challenges that led up to Dragon's Den So I guess all fairly well just even 1st with housework only. But it's really kind of expecting you're going to have some challenges along the way in facing up to them as quickly as you can to overcome them rather than running away from scaring away from. These kind of things that make us stronger so seeing as an opportunity to learn and to develop and find change things rather than just. Great advice real pleasure to talk to Rob many congratulations.

Gymnastics tell me the story what happened well my very 1st competition doing gymnastics Olympic gymnastics maybe a year a star in the early sixty's and my mentor me West competition and I was of about 19. And we came back on the train from the competition and I said it's ever going to happen to me again and I answered the following You haven't done a whole year of serious practice and training and what have you and I want the competition. And what was it within your younger self that allowed you to go back and try again when you've failed so spectacularly 1st time around I don't know just sheer determination I I didn't like being alive in anything ever. I don't mind losing but I can want to be last good for you read to you showed I'm John is in London Hi John good evening Mark your professional photography that's right I'm a photographer and always want to be a photographer and many years ago and I used to live in Preston and like I tried to like to even post and got rejected but I got taken on by you remember today news. And I worked for The Times as well. Many other big public publications David did a. Famous. Picture a picture that became famous I didn't name it but it was when Tony Blair got into power and I did him and his 100 lady M.P.'s that was called Blair's Babes I remember that I was a fisherman all over but I photographed Mandela Thatcher Cameron even Theresa May when she got elected. Many many famous people sense and I was determined that the rejection by the post wouldn't wouldn't stop me and where did that come from because so many people want to do a job that has glamorous is that very few succeed I think I think there's nothing there's no better driver Mark than someone telling you that you can't or you should try something else. And you decided that you would prove them wrong exactly I think that's hopefully something that my children will inherit because I think that you can do whatever you set your mind to do. Very true John thank you for that what a great job you had John in London before that Rita from Bradford on. Talking about coping with turning it into something something that was much better than you could ever have believed possible story. 34530858. Good evening in the.

Didn't do the cooking she did and that money I mean that they were poor but clearly she thought eating stuff like this was quite character building and she would always serve as tripe and onions never knew what it was the texture if I had known what it was certainly would have eaten it. That before she said that as a starter we'd get what she called her dirty bone soup she'd go to the butchers get the bones that were normally bought by people who wanted to give them to their dogs and she bore them out for about 4 hours tiny little bits of meat that were left on it would fall off and that would be the substance of the soup it was like a sort of. Cruel with a slew of salt pepper and not very much of a taste but if you're a fan of awful and it has stayed with you all your life you will enjoy this it looks as though tripe could be making a comeback Well at least in Leeds after a new trite counter opened in the city's historic market Charles has left went along to put his tastebuds to the test try some people talk a lot of it other people can't even bear the sound of it but I'm here to tell you that tripe Spock as hell is a bit more about it Carol rums than from Rumson fishmongers because she's got a very own tripe counter where you can eat it on the spot the back try to Scouse the honeycomb and then takes a back out this draft just can sound that this is all to take and late Stanley Cup Before we get set so it's all ready for the tank trying to trend isn't it now. Take on the continent always has been is just in England over the years is doing until our older generations died after the younger ones were trying to reset the process in the prodding So I've got a little tiring cup full of delights in here to take me through what we've got to you've got your honeycomb that try you know you've got the chicken wings that you've got they press moles there you've got the cow whale there and the brawn that all the cow here now for tripping before but the rest are all of the a stick in so doing to season them 1st usually peppered beneath That's right Connie calling 1st and which ones aren't. Well I actually got a hit from the bit of an ego. Gelatinous. Oh a nice bit of pepper actually enough to say so on the tongue you know what I was quite quite nice I was. What I was when I was. But so yeah honeycomb tripe that's very nice yeah but gelatinous I quite like the honeycomb texture of chili so I want what's the next one then you've got the brawlers try the bronze so this is picture. All the picture lovely never loves Paul Maxwell Calway you can cowbell the one I'm really looking for right again it's why. A bit like. I don't know offensive it's all I can quite nice in the vinegar hates and on the malls Yeah. You know a lot of all of them probably my favorite. Pleasantly surprised that. I don't know what my face was doing while I was in that one. The more people that try it like you say you get pleasantly surprised with. It's been a revelation. Without. Close your eyes when you're eating it is the 1st good advice from. The reporter. Trying a little awful awful afficionado. As he's experiencing. luck. In the Moslem in my place little slaves. To Sleep. a look rather of sweetbreads cold yourself right between bread and butter with mustard on acid try love it boiled with onions a white sauce thickener and with mashed potatoes have it once a week and this is Rich every couple of weeks I pan fry myself Lamb's liver onions and bacon and served with crushed bud and gravy young his whole tempting you are you feeling absolutely ravenous Now if you think all this talk of meat is allowed to try to hopefully will find this fella awfully good he's called how he Martinez's from the awful club in Manchester Hi How are you going to be marking very well from here how did this awful club of yours get started I was going to make some really oh now started about 20 is ago with me my 2 best friends Jason and Simon now get wives and girlfriends at the time. Were awful denies So they didn't join us so just a bit more boys evening we've got to get them play console's and awful and just developed from there and what is it about these slightly obscure cuts because for many it's a bit of an acquired taste it is an acquired taste we've had a couple of unfortunate instances of one obstacle we call with their spleen which wasn't very pleasant in the slightest and we've since the truck from the more adventurous side waffle and stuck to the Staples large kidneys and liver and venture into sweet breads and all kinds of things you're cricket to the last one. Awful. All the bar been awful depending on what the point was but you know the. It's just a direct use for boys to get together and drink wine and. Awful it is interesting isn't it because at a time when many people are cutting out meat or at least cutting down on your kind of uttering your. Your quotient Why would you want to be doing that. Well this is funny she should mention that some of our vegetarian friends are really they really get the idea of eating off the so much waste goes in to meat production because people just want homogenized little squares of meat neatly clingfilm impulse starring trays and there's no connection to the animal so of vegetarian friends we get that if you're going to eat meat the whole army will if you know that we then become vegetarian but don't just stick to these little squares of meat when there's no connection to where it's come from and looking at one of your past menus Icelandic black putting chicken livers on a better p. Green pea and pigs Trotter soup Jamaican oxtail with chili it's quite full on if I wanted to dip my toe in the water of my own awful club and not scare myself in the horses where would I start. The 1st male that we all really bonded over was a best before Mary Berry It wasn't a cake thing. In her cookbook she cooks a French stew with kidneys called kidneys Turkey go and that was the 1st meal really from the start of the awful club that we all really loved and it kind of just developed from there so because a good place to start. Is a must if I've managed to so delicate the flavor but I've got to wait and see on the menu. Because if it's cooked well pink in the middle it's an absolute joy to eat is it is it not just about being a bit of an alpha male to show you can eat all the stuff and it does actually tell Saturn and the regular cuts you know it's just it's moment excuse for for us boys to get together and it's more of a special inches club I mean he has been levelled at the bell female about it but you know the end of the day 6 boys getting together doing of the things of the typical boy the night proceeds if I can. Play golf and it's a bit different to doing that you know good on the pool because the football because stadium played Consols not eat anything this was lots of stereotypical boys pursuits that we could indulge in but this is among. Those those connect us all together and it's been going 20 years has amazing Now we started this conversation because we heard the reporter managed to go over this q. Tripe counter had opened up in Leeds market they say that tribe is making a comeback where would you put tripe in the in the pecking order of awful before you know when we have slain we become developed a dumb taste 77 levels of hell and spleen was very much down in the bottom up that say try peace is it's fair to middling it's not the most. Not most adventurous awful but it's also certainly not the most accessible of of your. Full family I mean you'd be doing this for 2 decades now 20 years I mean are you saying awful becoming more popular what with single book but we should start off as free bus 3 best mates a bunch of. The 12 us now that regularly every saw 6 to 8 weeks so all it'll kill to grow. More followers on Twitter more people check up log outs. So yeah I would say there's a huge surge specifically about trying to put something that the food is a whole blog or food network out there and people are generally interested in people just don't different things coming at food from from different angles and different perspectives in and you know that the blogosphere is very much a network of people that are interested in other people's interests clearly Selena's navigator back on your menu if you go to any other red lines you know was playing with the 1st letter live I'm sure there would be all the awful Zz then the thing is is is just getting access to the more adventurous have awful stuff good to see a vigil question if you weren't such at your own club I would say developing a good relationship with the butcher is key to any kind of successful awful evening because they can definitely saw stuff that you can't get in your little post during Trey's cling film to your local supermarkets so developing a relationship with your book should say will be cater to any kind of offline ventures that's a really good pair all the best the next one goes really well great to talk to you Howie Martinez from the awful club in Manchester be going 20 years yeah the blogs really good actually were pushed next to Facebook dot com port slash mark forest challenge.

Doco dot u.k. What are we going to play right we've been discussing coping with rejection the comeback of tripe an awful in general we reflect we mull over some of the big news stories of the day and you know what one of today's biggest is the court when a fellow called Doug Pauly now drugs a wheelchair user and he took 1st bus to court in 22 hours after he was denied access to a bus because a woman with a push chair refused to move now if you have been with the show over the last 4 years you'll know that we've been following Doug story really closely as long as we have been on the air so I got him back on the phone now Doug Hi good evening good evening great speech you were 1st Many congratulations I mean we have followed this through every twist and turn over the last 4 years or so this must be quite an amazing day for you yes yes it's an eclectic build up not just for me a symbol for quite a few people who this is quite and. Horton Theresa Yeah it's been really surreal day but quite a good one in many ways I think and the reason it's taken so long is that it had to go through the veriest layers of courts that we have in this country that right now start with a county court and then it was through a court of appeal now Supreme Court it's amazing how much quicker the bricks case is progressing through somebody tell me about the really need because the 1st 2 court they took opposite views on whether or not the spouse had to ensure that you would have 1st call on the space what did the Supreme Court decide the Supreme Court decided drivers have to not just accept when somebody says they can't vote but if they look like they might be able to move you know they have to make some form of judgment basically because there are some sides circumstances where mom will tell you there might need the space but there is a state think that some just being selfish and just refusing to move for the sake of it or because they don't want to be bothered has to use a certain amount of persuasion and coercion whereas before it's just always asking them if they shift and they're not doing anything if they said no did the Supreme Court in your view go far enough with this judgment. My personal view is yes I think they probably did I mean it could be better still but the difficulty is that there's always got to be a certain amount of interpretation on such things because you know there will always be exceptional circumstances and it's very difficult to put something absolutely clearly as to what. It's about changing the culture such that people who might use a wheelchair space who don't need to realize that you know they will be required to make and it's not if they're taking space when they wish to use a nice to get on the bus that you couldn't get on all those years ago I was run by 1st boss managing director Giles certainly had this to say the judgment. De is saying the drivers need to go further than that and they need to have been very polite but they need to say to a passenger you are required to move but of course we're still dependent on the goodwill of the passenger as we always have been and the driver has no legal powers quite a person to move nor do the police so we are still at the mercy of the custom of moving he seems to be implying just only that Doug nothing has really changed here and there is the argument however the justices did also say that they bus driver should stop and refused to move the bus until the person was you know complied with the request and also at least one of the justices I think said that there's a thing called the conduct regulations which is a criminal obligation on a very straightforward process including passengers. And if they refuse a reasonable instruction to the driver that they are committing a criminal of the question as to whether it could be enforced but another thing that they judgments requested is that the government reconsider the law in the area and I'm aware that they mention disabled people today. So they will be taking this into consideration and also the bill currently going through parliament says I'm very interested in the outcome of this case I think I might have said here last time you were on about a year ago I remember sitting on the I remember it was a 149 bus which went from Tulsa down in east London to the city and just this occurrence came about the bus driver stopped it was a double decker bus lined up the middle door put the little ramp outside the wheelchair use at the bus to get on and everything came to a halt because there was a buggy in that space as so he made one announcement over the loudspeaker the lady and baby would move stop the engine how they thought the engine and then fan of the word and everybody on that bus they were 40 or 50 people I realize were going nowhere and she moved. Straight away it was now aggravation it was no shouting there was no coercion or force the boss plainly was going nowhere could do you think we see Dr is everywhere now being given that instruction. Well I hope. Certainly didn't seem to say that this now went down there for but you know the justices did say that that's what her. New law Neuberger today she said directly in the summary. Only come to fail to have heard that bus driver said she was to move until the situation resolved presumably you would want to see a situation where the police were called when this thing happened no I don't want to see people took off buses and I don't want to say the whole thing but this is the difficulty in the thick of the difficulties the practical problems the travellin But the other problem is this just intense confrontation in which personal conflicts which it will you know if you don't want to have to face every time that's a bust or risk facing or not know if I'm going to face that. Call in the police would be a. Certain extent I just wish we didn't have to do this and the small minority of people who misuse the space misused to move but nice it really but sadly the world doesn't always work over the years text has just come in from an anonymous text who says knowing in advance the upset he would cause and the great difficulty involved in getting a resolution I wouldn't get on a bus in my wheelchair in the 1st place getting at a generous mobility allowance. Enables me to use other forms of transport are you worried in a way that because this is become so high profile and as you say can cause such problems that more wheelchair users will be scared off using public transport Well there is a possibility of course but then I also know that a lot of disabled pay. Already scared off using public transport because they face abuse from members of the public because drivers fail to meet their obligations not all the public or not all drivers of course but you know it's frequent occurrence. Publicising it through my case I don't know I mean I hope that it means that more is done to prevent than to put people off that could be a side effect has your campaigning work with bus companies in your sights behind you now. Not the psychic intensely go out succumb to you know on busses that my mind problem is if I come across something but I think of an injustice towards disabled people understood relation to a certain extent or so compelled to. Something in my nature. Over sometimes I didn't you know sometimes I make mistakes and don't make their oxygen the right things are never in the right way but ultimately you know. That I think are wrong. Resonate with other disabled people are not still have to Terminus are really good to have you on not only tonight but over the years. Thank you. Who won his Supreme Court case today against the bus operator 1st group. Babylon Now we've discussed organ donation many times on the show before but would you consider giving away an organ to help a complete stranger Tracey Jolliffe is a so-called out true istic donor she's already donated a kidney 16 eggs and 80 pints of blood and says she intends to leave her brain to science She joins us now Tracey good evening good evening now you are a medical professional is that what got you interested in organ donation in the 1st place. I think that was partly to do with Yes I work in the n.h.s. So I'm aware that you know people are in me. But what motivates you to actually give up parts of your body because we all know people are in need. Well you don't need 2 kidneys you only need one to function so we're all walking around with respect and although there is a risk to any operation. You know why not why not help somebody who needs one well I suppose because you have to have an operation and most people are terrified of hospitals and b. Of operations that's true I mean being an altruistic donors is not for everybody certainly it's not something I would have a you know make people feel guilty about doing but I think a lot of people just don't realize it's possible they think that you have to be related to somebody or at least a very close friend but it is possible to donate you know out to a sickly and just give it to somebody who needs one so maybe people were more aware of it than you know a few more might come forward when I take your point that you don't necessarily need both your kidneys you can have a perfectly healthy and fulfilling life without one but the surgery itself in the process how dangerous is that well the process itself isn't dangerous leading up to you have to have a lot of medical tests it isn't something to do if you will you know very very scared of hospitals because you have to have lots of blood tests x. Rays scans various things like that so the actual process itself is quite involved because obviously the have to make sure that you'll see the healthy in order to donate the operation itself there's no getting away from it it is major surgery but it's done obviously only on very healthy people so the risk is minimal in terms of the type of procedure how long does it take to recover I was in hospital for 5 days and then probably a good 6 weeks before I was back to full health if you got quite a big ask for friends and families and even if you are quite happy to do it yes yes I suppose it is I mean I think. I didn't need looking after I was only really shoe out of hospital if you will if you'll find so it wasn't like I was bed bound it just meant I couldn't go to work couldn't do anything too active she many I spose sat down and had a discussion with themselves I've had it with myself on many occasions would I do it for a family member and when I say South remember how wide are my pad to draw the circle of why did you feel that you wanted to go beyond that I just wanted to do something nice I mean you know there was an opportunity to save a person's life and one sides read about it and I realized it was possible I couldn't really think of a reason not to do it and mention the kidney I mentioned that you'd donated eggs as well for those women who do not produce their own id pints of blood as well. Is there a line that you draw on beyond which you would not tonight I have considered the donating part of my liver which is also a possibility I haven't decided to do that yet because it is a much bigger operation than the kidney I'm not ruling out but it's not something I'm going to be doing straight away. And then of course once I'm dead I can have any say in the 9 months are enough when it comes to the liver that bearing in mind you have one that didn't have to decide which bit to take they can take a fairly substantial piece of liver has an amazing capacity to regenerate so they can take half your liver away and within 12 to 16 weeks it will grow back. It is an amazing organ so that is that is a possibility and what about contact from the people that you've helped is that allowed. I've never had any contact I know nothing about the person who got my kidney I don't know whether it was a man or a woman where about in the country they lived and so I have no information and that's not that's the normal they can contact you anonymously through the hospital and some people have been contacted and very few occasions they have actually got round to meeting but that's quite an involved process but generally speaking no you have no idea you've been I think to I mention family and friends intervention before I have any ever said to you enough now Tracy No no I'm quite feisty thing and I think they know better than trying to talk me else's stuff. Paradox really really fascinating chat Tracy thank you so much for coming on tonight no problem appreciate it living donor Tracy Jolliffe who works with the charity gave a kidney links on our Facebook page Facebook dot com for slash mark for a show. I'm not quite sure how I feel now I feel slightly ashamed that I hadn't done something similar but then slightly queasy thinking what Tracey has had to go through to be as altruistic as she had about you. Springfield you don't have to say you love me you were hearing about 510 minutes ago from Doug Pauly the campaigner who is at the Supreme Court today asserting his rights as a wheelchair user to be able to use the wheelchair space on the bus even if there are buggies already there Rob is in Stoke I agree with people having to move if they are on the bus but if the bus is full wouldn't agree with people be asked to get off on triple tree that's the tech start your message Mark awful before 8 o'clock making a comeback apparently specifically tripe and called to say her dad used to cook the others of couse see that as much these days and thank goodness for that mark at b.b.c.

Fascinating story and you to me sister. 3 minutes from now after the cars and try. Forest. a life of wealth and privilege nothing would make you give that up so how about turning your back on high society life to become a nun while that's what happened to Shirley Leach more than 60 years ago when she became Sister Agatha in our formative years she lived in a sprawling mansion in Kent. Is I did I. Always say is your have playground but I was playing near the war you know and it was a 23 bedroomed harsh and say it was requisitioned by War Office and say to my mother and I are allowed to live there in the war and we had to learn to write for Brigade initiation Arness and to tell us the truth as a child that was bliss but the men of course it was the next stop before they went abroad and many never came back saying I was. Sports happen and I think probably without realizing it I was used to giving your life well see people say now who time. A life of luxury Well when I was about 6 my mother said you can have pocket money tuppence we sized Hawk collectors at Christmas she said that would be very convenient that was the end of that conversation and I had to keep rabbit Sark would get in some more money so it's an interesting juxtaposition because that is the perception your rights that because you're a young living in this large house you must have lived a life that that few of us could really about John but when you look at your life your father had died you were very young you were he set your mother and your family up very nicely hadn't he in this house but then he was that no longer I dare and my mother was furious because Sat was this enormous house and then more. To the luxury of it I had a my pain and I had the business stable boy looked after me and I had to grow up but it was just life him dogs all day him the can or should was a dame and then my nests and I were allowed to in the Hudson Terraplane which had a dicky say when my sisters and boyfriends went off and here library large in the dicky behind and sort of things like that which was say much it was just the end game but it's when results that you were presented you came out you were dead you told us Oh yes yes it sat us but again my mother sighed you want to hang about afterwards and she said name and get a job and I found a job working for Smith Maxwell family and Martin Morton in the marsh and there I still got my. Dress for that in my bag and then when I arrived at. The nest nanny there said wasn't a set. Dress during that rest have just been presented couple of days ago didn't have time to come straight away with it she said but you can to be the cook so I said Just cos I get with the cook I didn't say it was I think she was fairy fairy wise my mother across in a way because I've been spoilt and I would have to take the horses out in the afternoon they'd all derived from Island and then by that time I had already called to follow as I was dazed to say cookie or folly and it's come and. Follow at the time when he was he was somebody called Jeremy Jeremy Chittenden and he was up at Cambridge at transition over Jeremy was absolutely the love of your life he wasn't just yet another fantasy. But this is when I was I was in percent when I was 16 and. My my vacation didn't come until I was 20 say he was yes absolutely the life of my life and he had to look beyond and here so I did think that was quite good fun and at that point I we're going to play a track a but I want you to tell the story of why you didn't pursue life with Jeremy and why you your life took a very very different turn. Sister Agatha Tonight Show more from her in just a moment. a former debutantes who gave up the high society life to become a nun Sister Agatha was engaged to a debonair young man from Cambridge when the calling Can it was February the fool and I was 20 as a. Marriage on October 3rd at and so I was writing to Jeremy who stood up at Cambridge and saying I think I've saw some nice dining room chairs try pretty p.g. In for them and it was out of my hand went on with me realise but my have written a sentence which was theirs I'm going to be an omni Olson's mistress just like that but once I had written it I knew that that was being as it were in the mind of a card or a charity it wasn't a social idea as he suddenly thought and the only thing this high remember Miles later years I thought was Art was I had intimations of this and my greatest friend had just got engaged getting married and she said to me you are 10 next Yeah and I remember thinking Oh yes she is my dad was off my So has being and none or anything but it's taught to possibly something I mean perhaps I thought I might be run by bus don't you have times very much what on earth did Jeremy say when he learnt 8 months before his wedding that you'd suddenly has changed her mind then and he came x. Benchmark is present he came straight from Trinity and we will 2 more from Will in Windsor Park and I said take it which the other ends to ask and he said it's between me and guard it's obvious who skate to win.

I would take you you're my mess precious gift I will take you and give you a card and of course he found his finals because it was it was sort of thing like that his is some he and his parents sent him to radiation as it was and there's days and they said to me and the common because you ruined his life and say he said use right to him and say you would have gone. The shade if it came and collected me in the look around brought me to ask it which is where I was joining the order and I remember him again we think I could take off my make up in a play say results or lick from him bits scrubbed out for my make cap and Chad changed into what I thought I mean I was totally clueless I had p.j. Inside some cloth which just rolls like sack cloth him back and Hetch Hetchy cough it and I thought oh my God I looked and the McIntosh I bought must be the variety that they'd be wearing was after I've been there a few days it was given to the nun who cleaned out the chicken stock it would say it yes but it was such an extraordinary change in your life because back via me things are very different now but back then you would have had very few visits you would be able to chat March the the rules had been enormously strict he's put that as such or he would see if it would be more of the same I couldn't cook toll but because it was safe to say today different it made it possible for our sick you must a missed huge aspects of your auld life shorter because it was so different because it was say it different it made it possible I shudder to. Off everything like that and Jeremy said touchingly used to come once a month and speak to my novice to rectify with I'm still right because the training for not A.T.'s it's a long haul job he was able to go off and he married into yada how to live today. And he has to begin with he waited until I've made my final vows as I said to the father I think this is rather humorous bitnet 1st of all he became or am casting because he thought that seeing a raccoon become and stay with you. And say that that was his 1st and his 2nd move once he went and tried his fake a sham which of course he hadn't caught a break ation of toe at downside that didn't last for very long but he did everything he possibly could and then he reached it actually I thought he waited for 8 years because he read to me and said he was going to marry biggie. And I rate back I had new connection with him other than this was an obvious trick to then and I'd like to happen like have to come back straight in again I mean you know one is remains a pass some money is and Jeremy as far as I was concerned was mine even though I was in a competent I thought you knew something would happen and we'd meet in heaven that would be.

I think as I understand it that is now the case it's gone from just asking too demanding I think that the word used was insisting though of course we haven't got to the stage where the bus driver is expected to chuck anybody off physically and the police will not be called but insist is the word they're now using which should please that text at $81.00 trouble free on the tech start mark to get in touch and on Twitter Mrs c.

For Slash Mark Frost the show will be available from 10 tonight a university academic has recreated what he says is the strange acoustic of Stonehenge from 3000 b.c. Much of the stone circles been lost over the years but Dr Rupert till from the University of Huddersfield has used technology developed for games and virtual reality to take us back to experience what he thinks was a key part of its meaning for people it sound. It's cold. And I can you know put steps in the distant heart of the tree of. Time here with Dr Rubin tell to try to listen to a different sound so we're just walking into this circle of Stonehenge architecture and acoustics are the same thing if you build something in a circle it will have circular acoustic So here's standing right in the center of the stone circle when I hit a Jerome the sound leaves me it hits every stone at the edge at the same time and returns at the same time so you get a focus there. And actually the more noise you make the more fact there is if you come here on the solstice when there's maybe a 1000 people standing in this circle it stimulates something not. So full of stones amplify certain bass frequencies about an octave lower than the lowest note bass voice can sing. It's the sound that's talked about by Thomas Hardy in tests of the. Monstrous places this. Time said. He listened the wind playing upon the edifice produced a booming. Like the note of some gigantic one string and. He wasn't the only one to remark on the sound within the Stones The problem is that what we hear today is only a polluted fragment of what would have been heard 4000 years ago many of the stones have been taken away from the site many of fallen down lot's of been eroded and they're covered in like Susan greeny is the site's historian it's a wreck really of what was originally here that's what you're looking at a real and it would be quite nice to be able to stand here with her career r.c. And see the original thing wouldn't it would be amazing Yes and see all the lentils on the top of the out circle to see all the trials I'm still standing and they would have been it would it's all in. Firing Stan within a state I think will be even more and so Rupert still has created a virtual Stone Henge using technology pioneered in the games industry it's a digital tour of the stones intact as they were 3000 years ago and on the new app he's created scape with the instruments of the time. And the inspiration for this interest in ancient soundscapes comes from the discovery that people weren't just painting an ancient caves the oldest means going to France has been found by a religious bone flute about 40000 years old and they have often been found in caves we've seen. In these cases I've been into some started types but when you hit them they ring and the ones that ring have got marks on and there's one that doesn't ring and that one hasn't the market. Fascinating stuff Dr Patel from the University of how does feel talking to David still attached at. The top layer don't Tony are you there. Certainly was a moment ago at a walk the line must just have dropped for a 2nd if you stick with me we're getting back to be there now I'm here hello that wonderful good to talk to tell me what you do a sacred stands Gosh what a great question so essentially what we're doing is we're building stone structures by hand they are interpretations of what are called Barrows which thousands of years ago where there 2 prints research community and offer a place of pilgrimage it was very much a structure to house the dead the difference between what we do and what the ancients do in some respects is actually very slight practically we simply provide a storage facility for crim a shoe Nash's human creation ashes. But in many ways the fan we draw on ancient design and sort of craftsmanship which hasn't really changed a great deal the way you would use a hammer or another stone to come out of a stone that hasn't changed but what is timeless I think what we're doing is creating an opportunity of people to commune to come together in a very peaceful. Spiritual environment which isn't religious necessarily It could be if you want but it is it doesn't have to be and to actually share something and I think my sense is from having spoken to archaeologists and. Members of the faith community you know sort of thing I think that's just in a to know all of us and what we seem to a stumbled upon is. A structure which offers a degree of integrity the perhaps isn't seen in existing memorials today and I have to say the confidence in what we're doing is really only borne out of watching people inside these Berets to see how they behave how they. Become very emotional they are very happy they're very elated and it's a curious thing that I hadn't anticipated but I saw 2 berries in 20141 was the West Kennet which is a very old one which is damp and cold and frankly very old and then I saw a modern one which my stone masons had just completed which was built in a village called all Canning's in Wiltshire and I was I was staggered I couldn't believe how energized people were when they went in I'm not for one moment suggesting there is an energy there not at all is very much about how people react within a space very much as the previous. Chap was discussing sound revolving around a circle. My sense is that the structures we build which are principally circular nature do seem to. Allow people to. I share a level of emotion energy which I have been told by our customers they simply don't find that in existing burial grounds or or sort of memorial gardens we should describe Toby in a little more detail I think what these long viruses look like certainly the ones that you were building so mounds of earth with a stone structure a door that's what it would look like from the outside Yes Very much so and him in many respects what I really want people to do is come and see them being built so you can actually engage with the structure we were told we have one just 10 minutes from where I live in came which are called Willow row and we were consistently told that this circular structure which is built above the ground it's not sub trainee and it's about $11.00 metres in diameter made out of limestone entirely by hand using lime mortar no cement no modern materials as such and it's about 5 a bit metres tall essentially has a doomed roof which is called a corbel groove and then it is covered in saw oil so it's sort of. Bedded into the landscape and many of our visitors when they sort being girls who goes for a shame to cover such a beautiful structure but in a bizarre sort of way it creates a great sense of theatre you don't know quite what to expect and that's the thing is you walk inside 8 and it's a low door you might bang your head if you not only know thins out sorry to interrupt you there the long barrel will should dance have a low low headroom at the entrance and that's very common in many many traditional barriers However our interpretation is going to mean it doesn't make sense so actually the doorways to our barriers are approximately 1.8 meters tall so no one's going to hit their novel. When you walk out I think it just describe what is inside what would I see so you are would walk in and Initially your eyes would take a moment or 2 to adjust it is dry it is very peaceful it is very quiet and the Chamber in front of you has York stone benches around the outside and the whole thing is limited just by natural daylight then if you care to light the candles which we do regularly there is a very soft warm glow within the interior and essentially around you are stone columns that rise up to what's called a ring beam which is essentially. A round of lentils and then above that is this beehive shaped roof and when everyone walks in they sort of stand there and the jaw hits the floor and they sort of say wow I How did you do this it's amazing but I think the curious thing I've learnt over the last really daft year or so is that it is an amazing structure it's amazing that people can do this by hand and that. Really the techniques for creating the structure haven't changed and we must move on time is we talked a lot about the creation of the structure and it is fascinating but but people listening to as want to know exactly what you place inside because these columns that you described have these stone shelves I can see on your photographs candles are there but these are the shelves on which you would place urns is that the idea that is why this is somewhere where you can do Exactly exactly so it's for a criminal now why would that be well you know most people choose commission of a burial which is a fundamental change since the sixty's and there are a staggering number of cremation she's left and collected each year over $40000.00 according to the industry now that says to me gosh people don't acquire how to commemorate for all sorts of reasons I think is terribly sad so the shelves provide an opportunity for you to store cremation ashes we don't restrict how many you place on to the shelf onto your shelf and when the Ashes are there you are given a stone to cover the Nisha as it's called and the stone could be personalized with your name or indeed you could cut a hole in the stone and they bring you to see the cremation urns which for some people is very important at that center and can one get back inside then this isn't sealed up no it's a sellout it's very important to know this that one of the 1st lessons we learnt was from a lady who lost a son she said it was it was awful in itself of course but I felt I lost my son twice once at the Crimean War and then having put him behind a sort of a block wall I couldn't see him again and so we looked at each other my builder action I said Will we can fix that we'll just cut a hole in the hole could be could be a leaping salmon it could be a hair it could be a Christian moon but the point is you need to Communion need to go to see and touch the urn because it's still very much seen as the perp. So you know this is very much in all Granik organic growth in our story so you can place it in there you can take the face off put more in there's no restriction a tool which I think is a fundamental difference between anything you can do anywhere else but we've got about 30 seconds that I must ask you firstly locations you mentioned will she mention Cambridge or any more planned Shropshire near where I'm yeah. And also in Herefordshire just south of pool with a lovely and if I want to resign now these are hugely popular but if I want to secure one of these little shells How much do I need to pay it depends if it's just for one set of ashes for $99.00 you going to be around 1900 pounds if it was for a larger nice it would be between 3 or $4000.00 pounds but there's no restriction on how many hands you put in there and for 99 years and by and large it's the same as all lower than the existing comparables in each of the regions really good to have you on the shelves not fascinating project you've got going to be thank you very much not to be Angel from Sacred stones talking about these modern equivalents of long Barrows which they're constructing around the country. Very different from. Just. The ashes from. Along with a $40000.00. I'm going. To get a. Good. Food soon. Says. Her. Mom would be easy for someone to. Stand when using. Them but it's a good game to provoke. Some. Just bring them to a place. Seems. To want to. Bring. The games. In the room. Told Me I'm Is if you want to get up to 6 as many as you want to have big $3.00 to $4000.00 pounds is what it will cost soon as they are finished these by the looks of it the website I reserved pretty well straight away so good luck with getting what we were talking about your last resting place also discussing little buggies versus wheelchairs on the bus there was a Supreme Court case earlier today. Who has been in touch. The problem over the last 4 years we've been really following him through the various courts that he has taken this to was on our program to really reflect how we felt about winning back case this from Nicky on that subject I've seen for buggies on our local buses in the northeast to proud in the disabled space and to in the problem space it is able person wanted to get on no chance if the prime space is empty and a pram gets on their head straight to the disabled space the attitude towards disabled people is not good and I blame past and present governments making parents and kids more important than disabled people. 8 triple for you for tax.

Than in and I a the Righteous Brothers You've Lost That Loving Feeling Now Russia's been in the news a bit lately what with the allegations of computer hacking tampering with the Us election and mass sports drug cheating but forget all of that let's talk about a more positive thing to come from that country vodka the one we're talking about right now it's not been distilled on the steps or Siberia This one's from Northamptonshire and made from items forged from Head rows as Catherine gander Kosky has found out with Benjamin jelly from jelly distilleries. It's pretty much to relate to the not die of it here's the wait for it I decided it would be a wonderful I dare not say no I was his ship it is a fine lines but it's still learnin but yeah he's amazing and every day is get to the point now like is he going full time so is everything I think dream of you I grew up you know earlier physic a it's on sale of elderflower is growing along has this is where I suppose in the early days of full o. He count on man that's waiting for him so while the 5 votes can I when I was a student when you should be sent in materials we stood in line it was a waste but it was a Vulcan trainers that's what it was boy then and I've been passionate about the British products in the countryside and obviously out if I was picking up in the last years and it's always flavor of like so on the fact it grows everywhere really but it obviously is linked to our growth so it was not gone then. The say is quite quite cold and I'll see a lot of the hedges and things are looking that bad so how do you do with that now this time of year. But hasn't come into season yet but as of this year it's going to be sourced from a local farm which is old we can put some you know the last 2 years so all of us have seen the season in which the out of flowers come in May soon start as early as April but it was a number of springs ago I was doing a charity Roan a long hair with my brother to take my mind off the pain I was spying out of flowers because we run from Harbor to Northampton site 10 miles away and I was to focus on my legs not falling apart I was growing our flower I know that then a day if I could see the bottom front of me tell you about the design of this that so you can for an orange and black color a year obviously orange in the navy blue. Sea everything's going to myself there's a hidden message on the interior and I said it was not just a passionate for English. And independent product fairly sorry. You see that she given up your day job yesterday. In the come in from a month emailed her yeah sorry I suppose it's been 2 years to get to this point and I haven't really started yet but it's all positive and getting out because I have a product that may be. Obviously this point there's quite a lot of independent drinks out there and there is you know I a few other out of Florida inspired spirits and stuff but then it's always everything I wanted also to be slightly different Catherine Geiger Koskie talking to Benjamin Shelley from jelly distilleries out of have ever tried fancy going to find out more about the latest in the world of vodka and Jane and whiskey if they're more to your taste after Carole King. Said I. That. Now you just had a bout of vodka created from the fruit of the English countryside what will be that be drinking more of in 2017 in vision is a spirits writer who believes attitudes toward spirits have changed considerably over the last decade I mean it's been an incredible change because consumers are now much more interested in brands and the understory behind the brand which includes of course the provenance and the production process and in the u.k. For example it's been a huge growth in the number of distilleries So we've got a much bigger choice of as it were local brands less alone you know what's coming in from overseas that's really interesting so is the story more important than the . Taste you know the story I think is part of the broad appeal of a brand obviously you know a great story has to have a product with a great taste and then they really really reinforce each other and the stories are what stories are people reinventing themselves families going back to their roots what sort of stories have attracted the drink is well it can be the person who's producing it it can be part of their sort of you know their quest to produce and create something otherwise it could also be you know what is this. Brand distilled from where are the ingredients cultivated where and is the harvest you know how and very much the production side of things as well because there's a huge interest you know for many years now in food and how food is produced and I think that that has now will to translate it into spirits so people also very interested in the production methods that are applied to the ingredients which are distilled and also then the production process for the spirits themselves does that mean that we are drinking them more simply because I don't know a lot about vodka whisky Jim but one presumes if you just chop loads of stuff in on top of it you're rather masking this wonderful flavor. Was there's been a huge growth in cocktail culture in the u.k. For over the last 1520 years and cocktails are one way in which I think a lot of people are introduced to different spirit categories and also individual brands the thing that confuses me is that he has created cocktail and yeah all blending various different flavors together you may end up with something quite a long way removed from what was there with the original vodka whisky or genius not a problem for the people who made it in the 1st place well if it gets people to try that cocktail and to think about the category or the brand then that's definitely at least a 1st step. Up and you know some people perhaps prefer very fruity. Tasting cocktails in which case you know why shouldn't they be catered for now your particular areas of expertise are of vodka and twist ski if I want to go and buy a bottle perhaps as a gift I mean how do I know I'm purchasing a good vodka well always of course go to a trusted retailer with a good reputation and then the staff would be able to advise you on what the different options are because there are you know vodka is now available of various price points. And various styles of packaging. So you know there's a huge choice out there so if I'm paying I don't know twice the price of a regular supermarket brand what am I getting for that extra money well various brands have their own you know sort of particular proposition so the price of the bottle will reflect various factors including you know the ingredients the cost of the production process and areas other aspects and again you can you know think about the story behind the brand as part of your purchasing decision it's fascinating isn't it that we've seen what has happened to Jean and vodka and you described the way that individuals who have wanted to create something special advantage to get their products out there and find a market for them when it comes to whisky it's always been classy there's always been a back story some of these distilleries have been in families for years many of them are very very small but for some it still has perhaps just the flavor of being something for posh older men is it ever going to be cool I think it is cool. I think it's deeply cool because there's such an interesting production process for anyone who wants to get into it the history in the social history is fascinating and now there are whiskey festivals you know throughout the u.k. On a fairly regular basis and the festivals I go to you see a lot of different age ranges you know both genders represented and people are really interested in the flavor and the production process that goes to create that flavor so I think it is cool already spirits right or even if you ask me how things do you now.

It was a bit disappointing. It's not a very fun to get rejected from Oxford you. Know I wasn't completely help broken because you know there are the good you need. You see you could have just thrown it away set fire to it yet you decided to do something a little different Yeah I well I looked at it and it seemed sort of like a monument but it's not often you get a letter for you from Oxford. You know it was meaningful so I just had an urge to make something out of it I suppose which is a very sensible idea and York's 3 me creative clearly Can you describe what it was that you made. I caught up words from the letter so significant phrases from it. And I stuck it stuck them into a painting as a sort of abstract. It is a it's quite inspirational and they make you feel better once you've done it it did actually it was therapeutic but of painting it helps when I was very colorful and I know nothing about modern art but others have compared it to paintings by quite famous people yeah they have. A slightly slightly surreal Yeah it was I. I mean it's hard to say it was very intuitive but people have compared it to yeah sort of significant abstract artists very flattered about what had you been expecting to go and study art in the 1st place the university No actually I applied for classics maybe a rethink is is on the cards anyway your mum Claudia tweeted a picture and it went viral when did you 1st become aware that there were quite a lot of people looking at forwarding and commenting on your work. Well I could never expected it oh you know I was at school I just got this text from my mom. It was a screen shot that was saying she was trending in the u.k. And I was like why the hell is trending in the u.k. It was because of that and where is the picture now. On my kitchen table. It's tucked into a book just so I don't spill a thing on it very sensible when you passed all this on to your schoolmates we presume you all reached for your phones when a break in class meant that you could and saw what was going on what did they have to say. I mean they were mostly just shocked because you never expect something to go viral so the Internet of the strange thing you know they are really proud and excited it's been a good weeks considering I got rejected from Oxford to write well for anyone who hasn't seen it yet we put it on our social media as well on Facebook and on Twitter just to make your phone go even crazier than he already has now you're quite happy and you're quite confident because who cares about this rejection because you have a plan tell me what you're going to do next. Well I've got off to some some really good unis at the moment I'm. Partial to Doro which seems beautiful How could I have to get the greats. Hopefully I'll be heading there like an amazing city and a fantastic university if you get there Claudia you'll have an amazing time very well done on that and on your wonderful arts great to talk to you too there's Claudia volley me from London. You did something really quite inspirational with a rejection letter from the university and that picture that work of art has now gone global Facebook dot com for slash mark for show not for show on Twitter you if you have yet to see it get a look back at some very famous rejections that have really backfired in just a moment and if you want to tell me when you were rejected on a very memorable occasion and more specifically what happened next especially if it all worked out in the end better than you'd hoped that a great. Text on. The Sam Cooke wonderful world it's about being turned down about being rejected for a job perhaps for a date turned down 3 times who I thought was my dream house over the years and it clearly wasn't because the one that ended up by was way way better off and that's the case he had a few moments ago from Claudia me who turned her university rejection night into a work of art she's not the only person who's been knocked back and then bounced back over the years. The bad things in. January the 1st 1962 and afterward or dition at Decca Records in London someone widely believed to be a unarmed man Dick Rowe turned down the Fab 4 apparently saying guitar groups are on their way out and the Beatles have no future in show business. Whilst in 1979 Alexander Sinclair from areso records wrote to Mr Pease Hughson from Dublin telling him that after careful consideration his tape of his band was not suitable for them. Otherwise known as the band of course. But it's not just the world of music where there's rejection aplenty j.k. Rowling was turned away by 12 different publishers one who told her not to quit her day job well Stephen King rejected himself by throwing his manuscript of curry in the bin having been refused so many times by publishers it was rescued by his wife and went on to pin the 1st of many bestsellers and going back a little further an editor at The San Francisco Examiner fired Rajab Kipling saying I'm sorry but you just don't know how to use the English language you. Walt Disney was sacked from a job on the Kansas City Star newspaper after being told he lacked imagination and had no good ideas. And Steven Spielberg was refused a head cold. From London who got a reject letter from Oxford University turned it into a wonderful piece of art she has now had that piece of art fud by people on social media all over the world 1st Gaghan from John in Mill Hill in North London Claudia should get the turned down prize for painting can we make up the last gag thank you but at my next guest has had his rejection broadcast to millions of viewers it happened on b.b.c. Television's Dragons' Den programme but now Rob law and his trunk keys are a huge success Rob Hi good evening good evening from. Body who hasn't been in an airport departure lounge of late just describe what a trunk use with a trunk is brightly colored plastic suitcases that children can see keeping them entertained all the travel journey they come with shoulder straps that double as toweringly parents can tow their tops to the departure gate and they come in a range of brightly colored animals characters vehicles we got from our truck and just launched a unicorn version goodness gracious but it didn't look as though it was going to go to the like as well as it clearly has when you 1st went on Dragons' Den seeking investment in your business you were great your pitch was fine were very confident the chunky looked good and then it all went wrong. With interest in like you. Yes so perfectly I told Richard Farley this is season 3 so 10 years ago went on Dragons' Den to Richard Foley when the studio picture was going perfectly and then I think I got his hand on it and as we all know she likes to really test products and ripping off the towing strap and claim that it was an unsafe poor quality product and unfortunately the dragons all kind of believe that. What's amazing about that program is that you feel every little bit of the emotion of those who are doing the pitching and you could see it written large all over your face how did you keep those emotions under control. It was really was very surreal it was like an antibody experience was seeing this car crash right wind in front and the. And very kind of struggle to get to get the picture back on form after that because it was quite clear that the dragons just weren't interested anymore 'd so. It really was damage limitation and that's the point isn't it because you you went on that and it is a part you do gamble with your integrity and with whatever it is that you have thrown everything into up to that point in your life how did you personally at that time deal with that rejection because it's big. Leaving the icon of really were invented a time machine and long Roy don't see cakes but I remember crying into my point to a good friend of mine in London after the filming. When they says I'm going to ruin my business and I actually didn't care for the 6 months and within that sings period we started exporting all over the world were winning awards getting lots of press and were selling a fee to consumers but I was really struggling to get trunk he listed in the high street retailers because the luggage buyers kept telling me I did mention the toy in the toy but I was told when the luggage no want to list the products the night program actually had the b.b.c. Advertised as we the rubbish so. I think of a new guy Simpson. But I really thought this is going to be a car crash again and I thought well I'm going to have a lot of people coming to the website but I guess I'm not going to make sales whole put a survey are asking for people to put their feedback forward on what they thought of the product and that night over 2000 people filled in the survey with phenomenal words of support we sold a shed load on line and it was a real con a turning point I've been trying to get into John Lewis a major department store strike. And they kept messing around very sparse and that's Dragon's Den and I finally got my foot in the door the like it's we've got national distribution and the guy can keep up with demand for the 1st couple years inspirations when it's all come good for you the company use huge as you say you're bringing out new products all the time the newspapers tell me you personally an hour multi millionaire What's your best advice for someone who does face rejection or failure how do you take that not give up and turn it into a positive. I think Life isn't easy and we face adversity all the time and it's how you face up to that can help for any sort of people's needs challenges before even Dragons' Den and I had rejection from manufacturers I had felt licensing they were trying to another company they combust just before Dragons' Den and the British government banned hand luggage and I just launched a children's hand luggage business so there's at the height of the terrorist threats of the summer of 2006 so there are quite a few challenges that lead up to Dragon stance I guess or send the welchers even 1st with housework accompanied. But it's really kind of expecting you're going to have some challenges along the way in facing up to them as quickly as you can to overcome them rather than running away from scaring away from. These kind of things that make us stronger so seeing as an opportunity to learn and to develop and find change things rather than just walk away great advice. I should have told you all but if you graduations called Rob Lowe creator and c.e.o. Of the. Rejection. I'm into the most extraordinary amount of opportunity what about you what if you take a rejection turn it around come on so much better things b.b.c. Suffix. Let. Me. Oh. I was going. To a. Move this is how I know hello here in stands in chance 77 I turned down a place of Cambridge parents teachers and the college with ballistic nuclear meltdown they refused to accept my decision we started half an hour ago the start of the show hearing from someone who took rejection from Oxford in this case turned into a piece of art it has now gone global If I say show media how do you deal how do you cope with rejection Hi Rita in Bradford on a even in Welsh or. Gymnastics tell me the story what happened well my very 1st conversation doing gymnastics Olympic gymnastics maybe a year a star in the early sixty's and my mentored me by West competition and I was last of about 19. And we came back on the train in the competition and I said it's never ever going to happen to me again and I answered the following year having done a whole year of serious practice and training and what have you and I want the competition. And what was it within your younger self that allowed you to go back and try again when you've failed so spectacularly 1st time around and I don't know just sheer determination I I didn't like being last in anything ever. I don't mind losing by I don't want to be last good for you read to you showed I'm John is in London Hi John good evening Mark and your professional photography that's right the talk of for and always want to be a photographer and many years ago and I used to live in Preston in Lancaster I tried to like to even post and got rejected but I got taken on by you remember today news. And I work for The Times as well. Many other big public publications I even did a. Famous picture a picture that became famous I didn't know. Mitt But it was when Tony very given the power and I told him and his 100 lady M.P.'s that was called Blair's Babes I remember that I was a fisherman all over but I photographed Mandela Thatcher Cameron even Theresa May when she got elected. Many many famous people sense and I was determined that the rejection by the post wouldn't wouldn't stop me and where did that come from because so many people want to do a job that's as glamorous as that and very few succeed I think I think there's nothing there's no better driver Mark that someone telling you that you can't or you should try something else and you decided you would prove them wrong exactly I think that hopefully something that my children will inherit because I think that you can do whatever you set your mind to do. Very true what a great job you had before that Rita from. Talking about coping with. Something something that was much better than you could ever have believed possible story. 34530858. Kings the. 13. In. The a 34. Just before the children. And. 3 And. The. Other problems to. 30123. 84. Tripe kidneys. Sweet. Physically feeling. Cuts of meat. About 678 years old. My paternal grandmother granddad though he didn't do the cooking she did and they have plenty of money and they were poor but clearly she thought eating stuff like this was quite character building and she would always serve as tripe and onions never knew what it was the texture if I had known what it was certainly would have eaten it. That before she said that as a starter it would get what she called her dirty bone soup she'd go to the butchers get the bones that were normally bought by people who wanted to give them to their dogs and she'd boil them up for about 4 hours tiny little bits of meat that were left on it would fall off and that would be the substance of the soup it was like a sort of. Cruel with a slew of salt pepper and not very much of a taste but if you're a fan of awful and it has stayed with you all your life you will enjoy this it looks as though tripe could be making a comeback Well at least in Leeds after a new trite counter opened in the city's historic gate market Charles has left went along to put his tastebuds to the test trying some people talk a lot of it other people can't even bear the sound of it but I'm here to tell you that tripe Spock tell us a bit more about it Carol rums than from Rumson fishmongers because she's got a very own tripe counter where you can eat it on the spot so why try things Scouse the honeycomb and then takes a back out this. Just can sound but this is all to take and bleached and cooked before we get sick so it's all ready for the tank trying to trend isn't it now. Take on the continent always has been is just in England over the years it's doing all the generations died off the younger ones while trying to reset the process in the Paulding So I've got a little polish tiring cup full of delights in here to take me through what we've got to you got you honeycomb that try you've got the chicken wings you've got they press moles you've got the cow we'll there and the brown over the cow here now for 3 finger 4 but the rest are all in the space sticks and so do we need to season them 1st usually. Right 1st and which ones are. But you get a hit from the bit of an ego. Gelatinous firm. Oh a nice bit of pepper actually enough to say so on the tongue you know what I was quite quite nice I was. Well I was I was. But so yeah honeycomb tripe that starts very nicely but gelatinous I quite like the honeycomb texture actually so what's the next one then you've got the Brolin of the bronze so this is picture you want to pick takes a lovely never loves Maxwell Kalai. Cowbell the one I'm really looking for right again it's why it. Doesn't remind me a bit like jello Yeah sort of I can imagine oh my god stop not not no offensive it's all I can quite nice in the vinegar hate and the on the mall's. Pig stomach but right yeah. You know what's out of all of them that's probably my favorite Very interesting well I've got to say I've been pleasantly surprised that the Save Me Get Everything is I don't know what my face was doing while I was 18 that well you seem to enjoy it the more people that try it like you say you get pleasantly surprised with the close your eyes were getting today if it's the 1st time and then after that it's been a revelation to come out take some lucky from home with oh yes. Close your eyes when you're eating it was the 1st time always right good advice from Charles Hazlitt the reporter. Fancied trying a little awful awful afficionados shares his why experience and knowledge have to. Oz. When you. Come in the. River a tree house just try to not be as jellied eels wonderful puts has on your chest Michael in rather a sweet breads. Fry between bread and butter with mustard on Master tripe boiled with a white sauce fakin around with mashed potatoes have it once a week and this is Rich every couple of weeks I pan fry myself. Onions and bacon in separate crushed spuds and gravy Yeah this will tempting you are you feeling absolutely ravenous now. If you think all this talk of meat is a load of tripe hopefully will find this fella awfully good he's called How We Martinez's from the awful club in Manchester Hi How are you opening remark I'm very well thank you how did this awful club of yours get started I was going to make some really old now started about 20 years ago me my 2 best friends Jason and Simon and our wives and girlfriends at the time. Were awful deniers so they didn't join us just a bit more boys evening we've got to get them play console's and awful and just developed from there and what is it about these slightly obscure cuts because for many it's a bit of an acquired taste. It is an acquired taste we've heard a couple who fortunate instances of one that sickly call with a spleen which wasn't very pleasant in the slightest since the truck from the more adventurous side waffle and stuck to the Staples larn kidneys and liver and French into sweet breads and all kinds of things were cricket to the last 1000000000000000 awful. Been awful depending on what the point was but you know it's just a direct use for boys to get together and drink wine and. Awful it is interesting isn't it because at a time when many people are cutting out meat or at least cutting down on your kind of acting your your quotient Why would you want to be doing that. Well this is funny she should mention that some of our vegetarian friends are really they really get the idea of eating awful the so much waste goes in to meat production because people just want homogenized little squares of meat neatly clingfilm impulse starring trays and there's no connection to the animal so of which 10 films we get that if you're going to eat meat in the whole army will if you're going to eat meat then become vegetarian but don't just stick to these little squares of meat when there's no connection to where it's come from and looking at one of your past menus Icelandic black putting chicken livers on a better p. Greens p. And pigs Trotter soup Jamaican oxtail with chili it's quite full on if I want to sort of dip my toe in the water of my own awful club and not scare myself in the horses where would I start. The 1st male that we all really bonded over was a best before Mary Berry It wasn't a cake thing. In her cookbook she cooks a French stew with kidneys called kidneys Turkey go and that was the 1st meal really from the start of the awful close. That we all really loved and it kind of just developed from there so because a good place to start. Lums liver is a massive fave of mine it's just so delicate the flavor but I've got to wait and see on the menu are always zoning on that because if it's cooked well pink in the middle it's an absolute joy to eat is it is it not just about being a bit of an alpha male to show you can eat all this stuff and it does actually take . Regular cuts nobody is just it's more an excuse for for us boys to get together and it's more of a special interest club I mean he has been levelled at the bell female about it but you know the end of the day 6 boys getting together and doing of the things of the typical boy night pursuits if I can. Play golf and it's a bit different to doing that you know to get on the public or going to football because staying in playing consoles and not eat anything there's lots of stereotypical boys pursuits that we could indulge in but this is among the. Those connectors all together and it's been going since years as amazing Now we started this conversation because we heard the reporter managed to go over this q. Tripe counter had opened up in Leeds market they say that tribe is making a comeback where would you put tripe in the in the pecking order of awful before you know what we have spleen we can develop to dumb taste 77 levels of hell and spleen was very much down in the bottom up that say try peace is it's fair to middling it's not the most. Not most adventurous awful but it's also certainly not the most accessible of the awful family I mean you've been doing this you'd be doing this for 2 decades now 20 years I mean are you saying awful becoming more popular when we see the start of us 3 of us 3 best mates in bunches. This 12 years now that regularly every saw 6 to 8 weeks so all it'll cost. Grow we get more followers on Twitter more people check our blog out. So yeah I would say there's a huge surge specifically about tried something that the food is a whole blog a food network out there and people are generally interested in people just don't different things coming at food from from different angles and different perspectives in and you know but the blogosphere is very much a network of people that are interested in other people's interests clearly Selena's navigator back on your menu Have you got any other red lines. No claims the 1st might lie I'm sure that would be all the awful he did the thing is easy is just getting access to the more adventurous type of awful stuff but see image in question if you weren't such at your own club I would say developing a good relationship with the butcher is key to any kind of successful awful evening because they can different source stuff that you can't get in your little postcard trays clingfilm to your local supermarkets so developing a relationship with your bookshops they will be cater to any kind of off love and she has a really good. All the best hope the next one goes really well I told you how we Martino's from the awful club in Manchester up to be going 20 years yet the blogs really good actually were posting links to our Facebook dot com for slash mark for us check.

Superbe chef August Hansen running it however I once made a mistake of taking a couple of clients to lunch that unfortunately one was a vegetarian a well chosen John I did take my parents their wards. They did that was when I was living in London then come to London that often southwards a famous restaurant I'll take them there and they chose quite well my dad does like awful always had mother was slightly nervous but they chose well on the very next table there was a pack of younger men and women and they were choosing to impress why I asked Ali from the awful club a moment ago it was all about being an alpha male eating this stuff and some of the guys were choosing to impress the women that they were with and they'd ordered crap now from when he was a crab you just get the meat that you oh no the whole darn thing came out great big crowd with everything on and absolutely no indication of how you got inside it.

What are we going to play right we've been discussing coping with rejection the comeback of tripe an awful in general we reflect we mull over some of the big news stories of the day and you know what one of today's biggest is the court when a fella called Doug Pauly now Doug's a wheelchair user and he took 1st bus to court in 2012 after he was denied access to a bus because a woman with a push chair refused to move now if you have been with the show over the last 4 years you'll know that we've been following Doug story really closely as long as we have been on the air so I got him back on the phone now Doug Hi good evening good evening great speech you were 1st Many congratulations I mean we have followed this through every twist and turn over the last 4 years or so this must be quite an amazing day for you yes yes isn't required to build up not just from anything but for quite a few people who this is quite important to so yeah it's been in really surreal Berber quo good well in many ways I think and the reason it's taken so long is that it's had to go through the veriest layers of courts that we have in this country is that right the 1st 3rd of the county courts and it was through the course material and now Supreme Court it's amazing how much quicker the bricks cases progressing through. Tell me about the ruling that because the 1st 2 courts they took opposite views on whether or not 1st bus had to ensure that you would have 1st call on the space what did the Supreme Court decide the Supreme Court decided that drivers have to not just accept when somebody says that they can't move but if they look like they might be able to move you know they have to make some form of judgment basically because there is sometimes a certain circumstance where none will tell you that might lead to some. But the state think there are some just being selfish and just refusing to move for the sake of it or because they don't want to be bothered and the striker has to use a certain amount of persuasion and coercion whereas before it's just always asking them if they shift and they're not doing anything if they said no to the Supreme Court in your view go far enough with this judgement. My personal view is yes I think they probably did I mean it could be better still but the difficulty is that there's always got to be a certain amount of interpretation on such things because you know that there will always be a session or circumstances but it is very difficult to put something absolutely clearly as to what should be done. About changing the culture of people who might use a wheelchair space so you don't need to realize that you know that they will be required to move and it's not fair if they're taking up space when we say user needs to go on now the bus that you couldn't get on all those years ago I was run by 1st boss managing director Giles certainly had this to say the judgement today is saying the drivers need to go further than that and they need to have been by polite but the need to say to a passenger you are required to move but of course we're still dependent on the goodwill of the passenger as we always have been and the driver has no legal powers required a person to move nor do the police so we are still at the mercy of the custom of moving he seems to be implying callsign me that Doug nothing has really changed Yeah and there is the argument however the justices did also say that they bus driver should stop and refuse to move the bus until the person was you know complied with the request and also at least one of the justices I think to said that there's a thing called the conduct regulations which is a criminal obligation on various things as including passengers. If they refuse a reasonable instruction from a driver. They are committing a criminal of the question as to whether it could be enforced but another thing that they just didn't request that the government reconsider the law in the area and imo what they meant to say were people today. Certain that they will be taking this into consideration and also the bill currently going through parliament says I'm very interested in the outcome of this case I think I might have said he last time you were on about a year ago I remember sitting on the I remember it was a 149 bus which went from Dolphin in east London to the city and just this occurrence came about the bus driver stopped a double decker bus lined up the middle door put the little ramp outside the wheelchair use of the bus to get on and everything came to a halt because there was a buggy in that space as so he made one announcement over the loudspeaker the lady the baby would move stop the engine that was it but the engine and then senator would and everybody on that bus there were 40 or 50 people I realize were going nowhere and she moved straight away and it was now aggravation there was no shouting there was no coercion or force the bus clearly was going No way could do you think we see Dr is everywhere now being given that instruction. Well I hope certainly didn't seem to fail at this now when I heard it on the phone but you know the justices did say that that should happen if. You've got a lot Neuberger today he said directly in the summary as they can to fail to have heard that bus driver said she was to move until the situation resolved presumably you would want to see a situation where the police were called when this thing happened no I don't want to see people sort of purses and I don't want to say the whole thing but this is it there's a difficulty in the thick of difficulties the practical problems that travel in. But the other problem is that there's this just intense confrontation and it's personal conflict which it will you know that every city wants us to face every time that's a bust or risk facing or not know if I'm going to face that. Call in the police would be a. Certain extent and I just wish we didn't have to do this and the small minority of people who misuse the space misused to move with them but just a nice really but sadly the world of the law if ever there is text is just coming from an anonymous text who says knowing in advance the upset he would cause and the great difficulty involved in getting a resolution I would get on a bus in my wheelchair in the 1st place getting at a generous mobility allowance. Enables me to use other forms of transport are you worried in a way that because this is become so high profile and as you say can cause such problems that more wheelchair users will be scared off using public transport Well there is a possibility of course but then I also know that a lot of disabled people already scared off using public terms because they face abuse from members of the public because drivers fail to meet their obligations not all member of the public and not all drivers of course but you know it's frequent occurrence. Publicising through my case I don't know them and I hope that it means that more is done to prevent than to put people off that could be a side effect years has your campaigning work with bus companies in your sights is it behind you now. Not the psychic intensely go out succumb tell you know on busses that might mine problem is if I come across something but I think of an injustice towards disabled people understood relation to a certain extent I feel compelled to challenge something in my nature that. There were some times I didn't you know sometimes I make mistakes and make the right decisions or the right things are never in the right way but ultimately you know exactly and some of the I think are wrong so. Resonate with other disabled or not feel I have to Terminus are really good to have you on not only tonight but over the years. Thank you. One his Supreme Court case today against the boss operator 1st group. Babylon Now we've discussed organ donation many times on the show before but would you consider giving away an organ to help a complete stranger Tracey Jolliffe is a so-called out true istic donor she's already donated a kidney 16 eggs and 80 pints of blood and says she intends to leave her brain to science She joins us now Tracey good evening good evening now you are a medical professional is that what got you interested in organ donation in the 1st place. I think that was partly to do with Yes I work in the n.h.s. So I'm aware that you know people are in me. But what motivates you to actually give up parts of your body because we all know people are in need. Well you don't need 2 kidneys you only need one to function so we're all walking around with the specs and although there is a risk to any operation. You know why not why not help somebody who needs one Well I spent this because you have to have an operation and most people are terrified of hospitals and b. Of operations that's true I mean been announced her sick donors is not for everybody certainly it's not something I would have a you know make people feel guilty about doing but I think a lot of people just don't realize it's possible but they think that you have to be related to somebody or at least a very close friend but it is possible to donate you know out to a sickly and just give it to somebody who needs one so maybe people were more aware of it than you know a few more might come forward when I take your point that you don't necessarily need both your kidneys you could have a perfectly healthy and fulfilling life without one but the surgery itself in the process how dangerous is that well the process itself isn't dangerous leading up to you have to have a lot of medical tests it isn't something to do if you will you know very very scared of hospitals because you have to have lots of blood tests x. Rays scans various things like that so the actual process itself is quite involved because obviously they have to make sure that you'll see the healthy in order to donate the operation itself there's no getting away from it it is major surgery but it's done over say only on very healthy people so the risk is minimal in terms of the type of procedure how long does it take to recover I was in hospital for 5 days and then probably a good 6 weeks before I was back to full health if you got quite a big ask for friends and families and even if you are quite happy to do it yes yes I suppose it is I mean I do. I didn't need looking after I was only release you out of hospital if you will if you're fine so it wasn't like I was bed bound it just meant I couldn't go to work couldn't do anything too active she many I spose sat down and had a discussion with themselves I've had it with myself on many occasions would I do it for a family member and when I say South remember how wide are my pad to draw the circle why did you feel that you wanted to go beyond that I just wanted to do something nice I mean you know there was an opportunity to save a person's life and one side's read about it and I realized it was possible I couldn't really think of a reason not to do it or mention the kidney I mentioned that you'd donated eggs as well for those women who do not produce their own idea behind sublight ass Wow. Is there a line you draw on beyond which you would not tonight I have considered donating part of my liver which is also a possibility I haven't decided to do that yet because it is a much bigger operation than the kidney I'm not ruling out but it's not something I'm going to be doing straight away. And then of course once I'm dead I can have any say in the 9 months or enough when it comes to the liver that I'm betting my you have won or did they have to decide which bit to take they can take a fairly substantial piece of liver has an amazing capacity to regenerate so they can take half your liver away and within 12 to 16 weeks it will grow back. It is an amazing organ so that is that is a possibility and what about contact from the people that you've helped is that allowed. I've never had any contact I know nothing about the person who got my kidney I don't know whether it was a man or a woman where about the country they lived and so I have no information and that's not that's the normal they can contact you anonymously through the hospital and some people have been contacted and very few occasions they have actually got round to meeting but that's quite an involved process but generally speaking no you have no idea you've been I said to I mention family and friends intervention before I have any ever said to you enough now Tracy No no I'm quite feisty thing and I think they know better than trying to talk me out the stuff. A paradox really really fascinating chat Tracy thank you so much for coming on tonight no problem appreciated living donor Tracey Jolliffe who works with the charity give a kidney links on our Facebook page Facebook dot com for slash mark for a shout out I'm not quite sure how I feel now I feel slightly ashamed that I haven't done something similar but that slightly queasy thinking what Tracey has had to go through to be as altruistic as she had about you. Springfield you don't have to say you love me you were hearing about 510 minutes ago from Doug Pauly the campaigner who is at the Supreme Court today asserting his rights as a wheelchair user to be able to use the wheelchair space on the bus even if there are buggies already there Rob is in Stoke I agree with people having to move if they are on the bus but if the bus is full wouldn't agree with people be asked to get off on triple tree that's the tech start your message Mark awful before 8 o'clock making a comeback apparently specifically tripe and called to say her dad used to cook the others of couse see that as much these days oh and thank goodness for that mark at b.b.c.

Is I did I always say is Syria have a playground when I was near the war you and it was just 23 bedroomed harsh and say it was requisitioned by War Office and sue my mother and I were allowed to live there in the war and we had the London rifle brigade initiator honest and to tell us the truth as a child that was bliss but the men of course it was an extra before they went abroad and many never came back say I was. Sports crap and I think probably without realizing it I was used to giving your life people say the Who time. A life of luxury Well when I was about 6 my mother said you can have pocket money tuppence we sized haka lectureship Christmas she said that would be very convenient that was the end of that conversation and I had to keep rabbit cycle get in some more money so it's an interesting juxtaposition because that was the perception your rights that because you're a young guy living in this large house you must have lived a life that that few of us could really about John but when you look at your life your father had died you were very young you were he set your mother and your family up very nicely hadn't he in this house but then he was that no longer I never and my mother was furious because Sat was this enormous house and then more. To the luxury of it I had a my pain and I had the business stable boy who looked after me and I had to grow but it was just life him dogs all day him the catalyst that was a dame that and then my nests and I were allowed to in the Hudson Terraplane which had a dicky say when my sisters and boyfriends went off and here library large in the dicky behind and sort of things like that which was say much it was just the end game but it's when you were presented you came out you were dead are you serious Oh yes yes it sadness but again my mother's side you want to hang about afterwards and she said Nate and it was a job and I found a job working for Smith Maxwell family in Martin Morton in the March and there I still got my. Dress for that in my bag and then when I arrived there. The nurse nanny there said wasn't a set. Tress doing that with us of just being presented couple of days ago didn't have time to come straight away with it she said but you can to be the cook so I said Just cos I get with the cook I didn't say it was I think she was fairy fairy wise my mother park was in a way because I've been spoilt and I would have to take the horses out in the afternoon they'd all derived from Allah and then by that time I had already called to follow as I was dazed to say Pookie all following this come and. Follow at the time when he was he was somebody called Jeremy Jeremy Chittenden and he was up at Cambridge at transition over Jeremy was absolutely the love of your life he wasn't just yes another fantasy oh name in a but this is when I was I was in percent when I was 16 and. My my vacation didn't come until I was 20 say he was yes absolutely the life of my life and he had to look beyond and here so I do think that was quite good fun and at that point I we're going to play a track a but I want you to tell the story of why you didn't pursue life with Jeremy and why you your life took a very very different turn. Says to Agatha Tonight Show up in more from her in just a moment. To. Talk to a. Camera that. It. Should. Not. Come up. With. A. Mob. Means. Nothing to the. Street. who gave up the high society life to become a nun Sister I guess I was engaged to a debonair young man from Cambridge when the calling cad It was February the 4th and I was 20 years there and I was going to get married on October 3rd at and so I was writing to Jeremy who stood up at Cambridge and saying I think I've saw some nice dining room chairs try pretty busy in for them and it was out of my hand went on with me realise years that my founders had written a sentence which was which I'm going to be and it wasn't his wrist just like that but once I had written it I knew that that was being as it were in the mind of a card or a charity it wasn't a social idea as he suddenly thought and the only thing this high remember Miles later years later I thought this was I had intimations of this and my greatest friend had just got engaged getting married and shots were you know 10 next Yeah and I remember thinking Oh yes she is my dad was off myself as being a non or anything but it's taught to possibly something I mean perhaps I thought I might be run over by bus don't you have to I'm saying very much what on earth did Jeremy say when he learned 8 months before his wedding that you'd suddenly has changed her mind and then he came x. Less mark this person he came straight from. And we will 2 more from war in Windsor Park and I said take it which the other lanes to ass and he said it's between me and guard it's obvious who skate to win. I thought Gosh what a wimp. And yet he missed strangely territory under Stuart and I remember him up at a bar and me and his says it's Ok. I would take you all my mess precious gifts I will take you and give you a card and of course he failed his finals because it was sort of thing like that his is some he and his parents sent him to Rio de Janeiro's it was in this days and they said to me and the combine because you ruined his life and say he said you was right to him and say you would have gone. The chauffeur came and collected me in the look around brought me to ask it which is where I was joining the order and I remember him again we think I could take off my make up in a play say results from him scrapped out for my make happen Chad changed into what I thought I was clueless I had p.j. Inside bought some cloth which just rolls like sack cloth him and Hetch Hetchy crop it oh my God I love and the Macintosh I bought must be the variety that they be wearing was after I had been there a few days it was given to the nun who cleaned out the chicken so it would say it yes but it was such an extraordinary change in your life because back via me things are very different now but back then you would have had very few visits you would be able to chats March the the rules have been enormously strict but there was such a heat to see if it would be more the same I couldn't keep the total but because it was safe to say today different it made it possible. You musta missed huge aspects of your auld life shorter because it was so different now because it was so different it made it possible I shudder to off everything like that and Jeremy say touchingly used to come once a month and speak to my novice to rectify with Time Zoraida because the training for not A.T.'s it's a long whole job he was able to go off and he married into yada how to live today you need. Yes To begin with he waited until I've made my final vows as I said to the father I think this is rather humorous but me 1st of all he became rim casting because he thought that seeing a raccoon become and stay with you. And say that that was his 1st and his 2nd move was he went and tried his fake Asian which of course he hadn't caught a break in at all at downside and that didn't last for very long but he did everything he possibly could and then he reached it actually I thought he waited for 8 years because he read to me and said he was going to marry biggie. And I rate back I had new connection with him other than this was an obvious director then and I'd like to collaborate in mad to happen like have to come back straight in again I mean you know one is remain suppress some money is and Jeremy as far as I was concerned was mine even though I was in a competent I thought you know something would happen and we meet in heaven that would be it but he was highlighting to see what you made We're almost out of times it's like I know it was so much to talk about this so much more the book would you ended up at the oldest convent in the country the boy. I know God because it's I know it very well 2 of my sisters were taught that they went there were they when they tried to teach them well the head teacher was Sister James course I was spread mother then sister Jane was a fantastic them headmistress she was what I call a real professional whereas I was completely amateur Yes I could to keep to teach some record justice and peace and I used to say it's a snake just somebody a little the book is a non story let's get this right Sister Agatha with Richard Newman correct use the ghostwriter and it's out now published by John Blake Sr Agatha thank you very much for coming in.

For slash mark for us the show will be available from 10 tonight a university academic has recreated what he says is the strange acoustic of Stonehenge from 3000 b.c. Much of the stone circles been lost over the years but Dr Rupert tyll from the University of Huddersfield has used technology developed for games and virtual reality to take us back to experience what he thinks was a key part of its meaning for people its sound. It's cold. And I can hear footsteps in the just in time for the 3 of 3 but I'm here with Dr Ruth to tell to try to listen to a different sound so we're just walking into this circle of Stonehenge architecture and acoustics are the same thing if you build something in a circle it will have circular acoustic so here standing right in the center of that stone circle when I hear the sound leaves me it hits every stone at the edge at the same time and returns at the same time so you get a focus there. And actually the more noise you make the more effect there is if you come here on the solstice when there's maybe a 1000 people standing in this circle it stimulates something like. The circle of stones amplifies certain bass frequencies about an octave lower than the lowest notes of bass voice. It's the sound that's talked about by Thomas Hardy in tests of the. Places that. The wind playing on the edge produced a booming. Like the no to some gigantic one string. Wasn't the only one to remark on the sound within the Stones The problem is that what we hear today is only a polluted fragment of what would have been heard 4000 years ago many of the stations have been taken away from the site many of fallen down lots of generated in the color didn't like Susan greeny is the site's historian it's a wreck really of what was originally here that's what you're looking at a ruin it would be quite nice to be able to stand here. And see the original thing wasn't it would be amazing Yes and to see all the windows on the top of the out circle to see all the trial isn't still standing and they would have been it would it's all ins. Stand within that state I think will be even more science and so Rupert still has created a virtual Stone Henge using technology pioneered in the games industry it's a digital tour of the stones intact as they were 3000 years ago and on the new app he's created a soundscape with the instruments of the time. And the inspiration for this interest in ancient soundscapes comes from the discovery that people weren't just painting in ancient caves the oldest means going to France has been found just. About 40000 years ago and they have often been found in caves we've seen. In these cases I've been into some started types that when you hit the ring on the ones that ring. That's one that doesn't ring and that 1000 of them are quite. Fascinating stuff Dr Robert Hill from the University of hottest field talking to David Souter. To talk about the clocks talk about final resting place. Celebration dancing. Before that about the ancient sounds of Stonehenge How do you fancy though being buried like a stone age man well you could be plans of coming together to build a modern equivalent of a long barrow in the countryside a modern version of the prehistoric burial mound and the man helping this become reality is totally angel from the organization sacred stones Tony Hi Good evening Tony are you there. Certainly was a moment ago at a walk the line must just have dropped for a 2nd if you stick with me we're getting back to be there now I'm here hello that wonderful good to talk to tell me what you do a sacred stands gosh it's what a great question so essentially what we're doing is we're building staying structures by hand they are interpretations of what are called Barrows which thousands of years ago were there to Prince research community and offer a place of pilgrimage it was very much a structure to house the dead the difference between what we do and what the ancients do in some respects is is actually very slight practically we simply provide a storage facility for crim a sion ashes human creation ashes. But in many ways the fan and we draw on ancient design and sort of craftsmanship which hasn't really changed a great deal the way you would use a hammer or another stone to have a stone that hasn't changed but what is timeless I think what we're doing is creating an opportunity of people to commune to come together in a very peaceful. Spiritual environment which isn't religious necessarily It could be if you want but it is it doesn't have to be and to actually share something and I think my sense is from having spoken to archaeologists and. Members of the faith community that sort of thing I think that's just in a to know all of us and what we seem to a stumbled upon is. A structure which offers a degree of integrity that perhaps isn't seen in existing memorials today and I have to say the confidence in what we're doing is really only borne out of watching people inside these Berets to see how they behave how they. Become very emotional they are very happy they're very elated and it's a curious thing that I hadn't anticipated but I saw 2 Barrows in 20141 was the West Kennet which is a very old one which is damp and cold and frankly very old and then I saw a modern one which my stone masons had just completed which was built in a village called all Canning's in Wiltshire and I was I was staggered I couldn't believe how energized people were when they went in I'm not for one moment suggesting there is an energy there not at all is very much about how people react within a space very much as the previous. Chap was discussing sound revolving around a circle. My sense is that the structures we build which are principally circular nature do seem to. Allow people to. Share a level of emotion energy which I been told by our customers they simply don't find that in existing burial grounds or or sort of memorial gardens we should describe be in a little more detail I think what these long viruses look like certainly the ones that you were building so mounds of earth with a stone structure a door that's what it would look like from the outside Yes Very much so and him in many respects what I really want people to do is come see them being built so you can actually engage with the structure we were told we have one just 10 minutes from where I live in came which are called Willow row and we were consistently told that this circular structure which is built above the ground it's not sub trainee and it's about $11.00 metres in diameter made out of limestone entirely by hand using lime mortar no cement no modern materials as such and it's about 5 in a bit metres tall essentially has a roof which is called a corbel groove and then it is covered in soil so it's sort of. He's bedded into the landscape and many of our visitors when they sort being girls he goes for the shame to cover such a beautiful structure but in a bizarre sort of way it creates a great sense of theater you don't know quite what to expect and that's the thing is you walk inside aid and it's a load or you might bang your head if you not only know things up sorry to interrupt you there the long barrier will should dance have a low low headroom at the entrance and that's very common in many many traditional barriers However our interpretation is going to mean it doesn't make sense so actually the doorways to our barrios are approximately 1.8 meters tall so no one's going to hit their novel. When you walk out I think it just describe what is inside what would I see so you are would walk in and Initially your eyes will take a moment or 2 to adjust it is dry it is very peaceful it is very quiet and the Chamber in front of you has York stone benches around the outside and the whole thing is illuminated just by natural daylight then if you care to light the candles which we do regularly there is a very soft warm glow within the interior and essentially around you are stone columns that rise up to what's called a ring beam which is essentially. A round of lintels and then above that is this beehive shaped dome to roof and when everyone walks in they sort of stand there and the jaw hits the floor and they sort of say wow I How did you do this it's amazing but I think that the curious thing I've learned over the last really the dark year or so is that it is an amazing structure it's amazing that people can do this by hand and that. Really the techniques for creating the structure haven't changed now we must move on to me as we talked a lot about the creation of the structure and it is fascinating but but people listening to as want to know exactly what you place inside because these columns that you described have these stone shelves I can see on your photographs candles are there but these are the shelves on which you would place urns is that the idea that is why this is somewhere where you can do Exactly exactly so it's for a criminal now why would that be well you know most people choose commission of a burial which is a fundamental change since the sixty's and there are a staggering number of cremation she's left and collected each year over 40000 according to the industry now that says to me gosh people don't acquire how to commemorate for all sorts of reasons I think is terribly sad so the shelves provide an opportunity for you to store cremation ashes we don't restrict how many you place onto the shelf onto your shelf and when the Ashes are there you are given a stone to cover the nice as it's called and the stone could be personalized with your name or indeed you could cut a hole in the stone and they bring you to see the cremation urns which for some people is very important that in town can one get back inside then this isn't sealed up no it's a sellout it's very important to know this that one of the 1st lessons we learned was from a lady who lost a son she said it was it was awful in itself of course but I felt I lost my son twice once at the Crimean War and then having put him behind a sort of a block wall I couldn't see him again and so we looked at each other my builder action I said Will we can fix that we'll just cut a hole in the hole could be could be leaping salmon it could be a hair it could be a Christian moon but the point is you need to Communion need to go to see and touch the urn because it's still very much seen as the per. So you know this is very much in all Granik organic growth in our story so you can place it in there you can take the face off put more in there's no restriction a tall which I think is a fundamental difference between anything you can do anywhere else but we've got about 30 seconds that I must ask you firstly locations you mentioned will she mention Cambridge or any more planned Shropshire near where yeah. And also in Hereford just south of Paul with a lovely and if I want to reserve I know these are hugely popular but if I want to secure one of these little shells How much do I need to pay it depends if it's just for $1.00 set of ashes for $99.00 going to be around 1900 pounds if it was for a larger. It would be between 3 or $4000.00 pounds but there's no restriction on how many hands you put in and for 99 years and by and large it's the same as all lower than the existing comparables in each of the regions really could have you on the shelves not fascinating project you've got going to be thank you very much not to be Angel from Sacred stones talking about these modern equivalents of long Barrows which they're constructing around the country.

The problem over the last 4 years we've been really following him through the various courts that he has taken this to was on our program to really reflect how we felt about winning back case this from Nicky on that subject I've seen 4 bodies on our local buses in the northeast too proud in the disabled space and 2 in the problem space if it is able person wanted to get on no chance if the pram space is empty and a pram gets on they'll head straight to the disabled space the attitude towards disabled people is not good and I blame past and present government making parents and kids more important than disabled people. 8 trouble for you to text message markets market b.b.c.

It's pretty much 2 years really to not die of it here's the way it was I decided it would be a wonderful I dare not say no I was his ship it is a fine lines but it's still learnin but yeah it's amazing and every day is get to the point now like a 2nd full time so it's everything I think dream of the way I grew up you know they were for the kids I'm still of elderflower is growing along has this is where I suppose in the early days a full Oh he can't on my own that's waiting for him so why else votes could I when I was a student when you should be sent in materials he stood in line it was a waste but it was a broken train as that's what was bought and then and I've been passionate about the British products didn't the country saw it and obviously out if I was picking up in the last few years and it's always flavor of like so on the fact it grows everywhere really but it only says link to our group so it was not gone then. It's quite chilly say is quite quite cold and now see a lot of the hedges and things are looking a bit bad so how do you do that now this time of year. But hasn't come into season yet but as of this year it's going to be sourced from a local farm which is old we can put some you know the last 2 years so all of us have seen the season in which the out of flowers come in May soon start as early as April but it was a number of springs ago I was doing a charity road and a long haired with my brother to take my mind off the pain I was spying out of flowers because we run from Harbor to Northampton side 10 miles away and I was to focus on my legs not falling apart I was a grown up flower I am now the then I am back seat of front of me tell you about the design of this that see going for an orange and black the color here obviously orange in the navy blue. Sea everything's going to myself and there's a hidden message on the interior I know seduces which is a passionate for English. And independent product fairly sorry. And you see that she'd given up. Yesterday. In the come in from a month he will tell you yes I suppose it's been 2 years to get to this point and I haven't really started yet but it's all positive getting out because I have product that maybe I can get. Obviously to this point there's quite a lot of independent drinks out lead and there is you know a few other out of Florida inspired spirits and stuff but then it's always everything I wanted also to be slightly different Catherine Geiger Koskie talking to Benjamin jelly from jelly distilleries. Ever try to fancy going to find out more about the latest in the world of vodka and whiskey if they're more to your taste after Carole King What should i was. a vodka created from the fruits of the English countryside What will we then be drinking more of in 2017 in vision is a spirits writer who believes attitudes toward spirits have changed considerably over the last decade I mean there's been an incredible change because consumers are now much more interested in brands and the understory behind a brand which includes of course the provenance and the production process and in the u.k. For example it's been a huge growth in the number of distilleries So we've got a much bigger choice of as it were local brands less alone you know what's coming in from overseas that's really interesting so is the story more important than the . Heyst know this story I think is part of the broad appeal of a brand obviously you know a great story has to have a product with a great taste and then they really really reinforce each other and these stories are what stories of people reinventing themselves families going back to their roots what sort of stories have attracted the drink is well it can be the person who's producing it it can be part of that sort of you know their quest to produce and create something otherwise it could also be you know what is this. Brand distilled from where the greedy and skulls have a to it where news the harvest you know how and very much the production side of things as well because there's a huge interest you know for many years now in food and how food is produced and I think that that has now will so translated into spirits so people also very interested in the production methods that are applied to the ingredients which are distilled and also then the production process for the spirits themselves does that mean that we are drinking them more simply because I don't know a lot about vodka whisky Jane but one presumes if you just chop loads of stuff in on top of it you're rather masking this wonderful flavor. There's been a huge growth in cocktail culture in the u.k. For over the last 1520 years and cocktails are one way in which I think a lot of people are introduced to different spirit categories and also individual brands the thing that confuses me is that he has created cult town yeah you know blending various different flavors together you may end up with something quite a long way removed from what was there in the original vodka whisky or Jane it's not a problem for the people who made it in the 1st place well if it gets people to try that cocktail and to think about the category or the brand then that's definitely at least a 1st step. Up and you know some people perhaps prefer very fruity of the tasting called tales in which case you know why shouldn't they be catered for now your particular areas of expertise are all vodka and whiskey if I want to go and buy a bottle perhaps as a gift I mean how do I know I'm purchasing a good vodka well always of course go to a trusted retailer with a good reputation and then the staff would be able to advise you on what the different options are because there are you know vodka is now available of various price points. Various styles of packaging. So you know there's a huge choice out there so if I'm paying I don't know twice the price of a regular supermarket brand what am I getting for that extra money. Various brands have their own you know sort of particular proposition so the price of the bottle will reflect various factors including you know the ingredients the cost of the production process and various other aspects and again you can you know think about the story behind the brand as part of your purchasing decision it's fascinating isn't it that we've seen what has happened to Gene and vodka and you described the way that individuals who have wanted to create something special and managed to get their products out there and find a market for them when it comes to whisky it's always been classy there's always been a back story some of these distilleries have been in families the years many of them are very very small but for some the still has perhaps just the flavor of being something for posh older men is it ever going to be cool I think it is cool. I think it's deeply cool because that is such an interesting production process for anyone who wants to get into it the history in the social history is fascinating and now there are whisky festivals you know throughout the u.k. On a fairly regular basis and the festivals I go to you see a lot of different age ranges you know both genders represented and people are really interested in the flavor and the production process that goes to create the flavor so I think it is cool already spirits right to Ian ascii how things do you now.
