Morning everybody.

Welcome along to your free podcast for today.

Did you have a good weekend?

I had a fabulous weekend.

I bought the duvet.

I didn't know how much it was.

I had a rough idea how much it was going to be.

And I was spot on, actually.

It was 310 quid. And the reason it is is because it's Siberian goose and you can only get

Siberian goose. Not like duck feathers. You can get them all the time. Siberian geese are

protected. So what they have to do, wherever they come from, the Arctic or the Arctic I think,

is they have to go out there after they've

given birth to their other Siberian geese and once they've left the nest they can then go

around and collect the feathers that's why they're very expensive because they've got to go and

collect the feathers and they've got to wash them and all the rest of it so so no no no I think

somebody somebody wrote to me

the other week, some thicker, you know, going, oh, so, so you don't mind geese being harmed. No,

they're all still alive. That's why they get all their, all their feathers, because they don't

use them. They make the nests out of them because it's so cold. And I bet they wish they had a little duvet covered, but they haven't. And so I saw it and I thought, oh, I couldn't, I couldn't find a double.
