00:00So, I ain't been to Europe in a long time, but the roads that I'm experiencing here in the UK,
00:08they're really good. They're really good. Yeah, we don't really encounter that much potholes,
00:14especially in Bristol. I'm just thinking, yeah, nah, the roads are really good.
00:19I think they're great. It's like, I grew up in the countryside and it's like the potholes,
00:22like, just along the road, and like my childhood house, were so horrible.
00:26My mum had to, like, contact the local council and be like, please fill this in.
00:30Like, every time we're driving anywhere, I'm getting punctures and stuff like that.
00:33So, I've not driven in a while, so it's not really something that I think about.
00:36But when I'm cycling, it's so frustrating because I have to, like, weave around all the roads,
00:39especially Park Street used to be really bad. Trying to cycle down there was an absolute nightmare,
00:44especially as it's so steep.
00:45Would you drive abroad?
00:47Yeah, we used to drive abroad.
00:50France is quiet. Germany, roads are quiet. Yeah, Germany's really good. Their roads are big and fast.
