\nVT: Good morning, good morning.<\/span>
\nPS: Are you feeling springlike this morning?<\/span>
\nVT: Fantastic.<\/span>
\nPS: Have you had a lolly?<\/span>
\nVT: Definitely spring.<\/span>
\nPS: Have you had a lolly? You’ve had a lolly.<\/span>
\nVT: I’ve had my lolly this morning.<\/span>
\n
\nPS: Have you now? Have the people of Peterborough started ditching ..<\/span>
\nVT: ICBs we call them. We call them ICBs here.<\/span>
\nPS: ICBs?<\/span>
\nVT: Oh yes.<\/span>
\nPS: Why. Why?<\/span>
\nVT: Ice cream breakfasts of course.<\/span>
\nPS: Of course. Yes. Nicely done. I think you should patent that. But have the people of Peterborough generally started ditching tea for ice-cream yet?<\/span>
\nVT: We’ve got very very good signs now, coming up. There’s definitely signs of ice-cream inundation.<\/span>
\nPS: I can hear a bird tweeting.<\/span>
\nVT: Can you hear them?<\/span>
\nPS: This is Spring in Central Park. This is what it sounds like. Beautiful.<\/span>
\nVT: You can definitely hear it.<\/span>
\nPS: Can you catch the bird?<\/span>
\nVT: No no no. You can’t catch it.<\/span>
\nPS: No.<\/span>
\nVT: You musn’t catch them.<\/span>
\nPS: No no you mustn’t. Can you put the phone nearer to the bird so we can hear a sign of Spring?<\/span>
\nVT: They’re quite high up. They’re in the trees, you know.<\/span>
\nPS: Reach. Reach man.<\/span>
\nVT: I’ll try. I’ll try.<\/span>
\nPS: Go on.<\/span>
\nVT: I don’t know if you can hear that?<\/span>
\nPS: Beautiful. Beautiful sounds of Spring in Central Park. Beautiful. Obviously ice cream is starting to sell. What’s the most popular so far? What’s going on?<\/span>
\nVT: Chocolate. It’s chocolate. Chocolate.<\/span>
\nPS: People going for chocolate this Spring, are they?<\/span>
\nVT: The kids, they’re going chocolate mad.<\/span>
\nPS: Parents are going chocolate mad too.<\/span>
\nSusie Roberts: Kerry and I are going down. definitely.<\/span>
\nPS: You certainly are, if you carry on. So chocolate is big this Spring then?<\/span>
\nVT: That’s what’s happening.<\/span>
\nPS: Yes and are men in shorts yet in central Park?<\/span>
\nVT: We’ce seen one or two. We have a regular customer, a Mr Williamson, regularly pops in.<\/span>
\nPS: Ooh he’s outed him.<\/span>
\nVT: Mr Williamson, and he was in his shorts over the weekend. On Saturday and Sunday.<\/span>
\nPS: With socks and sandals?<\/span>
\nVT: He had an ice-cream too, believe it or not.<\/span>
\nPS: Was it socks and sandals, Mr Williamson?<\/span>
\nVT: He was wearing socks and boots. Not sandals I’m afraid.<\/span>
\nPS: It gets worse. How’s the Park looking?<\/span>
\nVT: It looks great. The green, over the past two or three days of the grass, it’s changed. Something’s happened, and all of a sudden the grass looks different. There’s a little bit of foliage coming through, the evergreens are looking greener, the sun’s up this morning, and it’s just absolutely breathtaking.<\/span>
\nPS: Because there’s a report in the papers this morning saying that England’s green and pleasant land is looking rather off-colour.<\/span>
\nVT: Alive and kicking definitely.<\/span>
\nPS: Well listen, enjoy Spring in Central Park with your birds.
\nVT: Thank you very very much.<\/span><\/span>
\nPS: And Mr Williamson in his shorts. He’s Vincent Terranova fromn the Buttercross Tearooms in Central Park. Chocolate is in this Spring.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
