oh hello there
fancy seeing you here hi everybody this
is mr. Duncan in England how are you
today
are you ok I hope so are you happy I
hope you're feeling happy today because
I'm quite happy you can't see that I'm
happy but I I have a smile on my face
definitely
I can guarantee right now that I am
smiling at the moment better so here I
am live from the centre of the place in
which I live much Wenlock you can see
behind me the old plop in the square and
I am now broadcasting live this is no
ordinary day this is Monday the 15th of
June when everything gets back to normal
when I say normal
I mean well 80% normal and the reason
why I say that is because many of the
shops have reopened here in England so
across the UK different places are
reopening at different times so for
example here in England many of the
shops have reopened today as you can see
it is very hard to tell whether things
have changed here because everything is
very quiet it's not very noisy many of
the shops are still closed can you
believe it you might notice behind me
some of the shops have reopened but most
of them are actually still closed they
are still shipped for those wondering
where I am I'm in much Wenlock and that
is where I live you might not be able to
see me very clearly because I am in the
shade however you can see my face now
there it is and it is so warm I can't
believe how hot it is today
not only that but also I'm outside with
my face mask of course this is something
that you have to do even though I've
noticed that no one around me is wearing
their face mask no one no one is
actually bothering I think I am the only
person who is bothering to wear his face
mask today so I am I'm being a very good
citizen by wearing my lovely face mask
and that's what I'm doing at the moment
I might take it off in a moment because
I can't actually see anything one of the
problems of wearing a mask across your
face if you wear glasses is that
eventually your glasses will steam up
and that is what is happening now can
you see my glasses my spectacles have
started to steam up hmm so I hope you
are good I'm going to take this off
because there is no one around the
actual place is did you hear the crows
flying over then yes we might be
disturbed from time to time by the birds
hello to the live chat I suppose I
should say hello to the live stream and
also all those watching on the live chat
I'm taking this off because it's it's
really uncomfortable to be honest and
there is no one here but this is it this
is what Much Wenlock looks like when
lockdown comes to an end
where are all the people where are the
people there are no people around here
at all I don't know where they are
anyway I hope you're doing well today I
thought I would do a live stream as
things are slowly getting back to normal
whatever normal is so the shops around
here have started opening not all of
them some of them are still closed some
people have decided not to open their
shops just yet and I can see why because
there aren't many people around you see
there are very few people around can you
see me now oh that's better
I will make some adjustments oh yes
that's better I think you can see me now
so that is a more pleasing view I hope
you can see my my gorgeous my handsome
face is now clear for everyone to see
hello Mohsen hello also - can I say
hello to Maria Lena is here nice to see
you I was just interested you see I was
interested to find out what would happen
here in Much Wenlock this is a very
small place a very small town and it
looks as if most people have not
bothered to actually open their shops
they've decided to stay closed well
there are some people coming I better
put my mask on there we go that's better
if anyone comes past I'm going to make
sure that I put my mask on because now
you have to wear your face mask if you
go into a shop or if you go into a bank
you have to take your mask off it's the
opposite you see so nowadays if you want
if you want to rob a bank you have to
take your mask off
so here we go then we are live now on
YouTube I hope you are having a good
Monday my Monday isn't too bad even
though it is so hot I don't want to wear
my face mask I really don't like wearing
this if anyone comes by I will put my
face mask on there we go it's so
uncaring all I can say is I really do
sympathize with anyone who lives in a
very hot country and they have to wear a
face mask that's all I can say I you
have my complete and utter sympathy by
the way we still have social distancing
here as well it's worth remembering let
me just show you I am very aware that we
have to still keep our social distance
from each other
so I have my tape measure here to make
sure that I don't get too close to
anyone else so I think it's how much 2
meters is that how far away we have to
be ok then so there is where is 2 meters
I'm trying to find 2 meters all there it
is 2 meters so that is 2 meters you have
to stay two meters away there it is just
to show you so that is the distance that
we have to keep from each other at the
moment although having said that they
want to reduce it to 1 meter can you
believe it so instead of 2 meters they
want to reduce it to 1 meter which isn't
very far at all when you think about it
I mean if you are sitting at a table
with other people you might only be
around 1 meter away from them anyway 1
meter so it was going to be 2 meters but
they've changed it after 13 weeks of
telling us that we have to be 2 meters
apart they have told us now that they
are going to reduce it
to one meter so you could be one meter
away that man has a very noisy car very
noisy indeed
doesn't he know I'm trying to do a live
stream here yes it was 2 meters but now
it is 1 meter we can stay 1 meter away
from each other so this for example let
me just show you this is too near so
that is one inch two inches three inches
four so there is five inches so five
inches is too close you can't get any
closer than that or else you'll be well
you'll be probably kissing and hugging
you see so two meters is the safe
distance I will show you again or it was
but now they've changed it to 1 meter so
there it is 1 meter so that is how near
you can now get to each other here in
the UK the shops have opened not that
you would know it because here in Much
Wenlock many of the shops have decided
to stay closed they've decided not to
open their businesses at all hello Tania
hi Tania Tania art is here nice to see
you here as well yes my name is duncan
for those who don't know for those who
do know yes don't worry there is nothing
wrong with your calendar
it isn't Wednesday it is Monday and we
have started doing business again here
in the UK hello Michael
hello also town to Anne you win hello to
you as well I was a little worried today
because I thought my hay fever would be
bad but fortunately my hay fever is not
too bad today
hello also too
heck heck Touareg watching in argentina
now I know things at the moment in
Argentina are not too good and have you
heard the latest about China in in
Beijing they have introduced lockdown
again because there has been another
outbreak in Beijing so things have
started to turn back things have started
to become serious again just a few
minutes I started my livestream I've
been here now for 12 minutes so to be
honest with you you haven't missed much
you haven't missed much at all to be
honest one of the main reasons is
because there isn't much going on here I
thought all of the shops would be open
but they're not so here in Much Wenlock
most of the shop owners have decided to
keep their stores closed
however there is there is a store just
here that sells gifts and they have
decided to reopen they've decided to
reopen today although I can't see many
customers in there to be honest so there
aren't many people around I thought
there would be more people shopping
today I thought so
maybe in the large towns and the large
cities there might be lots of people
actually shopping in the big department
stores but here there are no almost no
shops open at the moment you can see
there is some traffic and there are
people walking around I saw the postman
just can you please show us around well
one of the problems with doing this on
my phone is because
one of the main problems is having a
good signal so if I move my phone too
far you might actually lose the live
stream so I do have to be careful where
I put my phone so I have to make sure
that there is a good signal coming
through on the live stream for those who
are wondering where I am I'm standing in
the square the square so let's have a
look shall we
so there you can see a little bit of
information about the square so that is
where I'm standing at the moment you are
standing at the hub of medieval Much
Wenlock Market Center for a wide
agricultural and commercial hinterland a
place where farming and also the the
exchange or the sale of livestock takes
place or used to take place many years
ago so there is a little bit of
information about the place where I'm
standing at the moment for those who are
wondering where I am now you know you
know exactly where I am I'm standing in
Much Wenlock square hello - sunshine is
that a new shirt
no this shirt is actually quite old
I think this shirt now is around 2 years
old so I've had this shirt for nearly a
couple of years two years so no this is
not a new shirt it is I suppose you
would describe it as an old shirt it's
around about two years old
hello Mohsen hello also - tomorrow it is
a good idea to take a tape measure with
you to keep your distance yes I have to
make sure that people don't get too
close to me so if anyone comes near me I
can I can get my tape measure out and I
can make sure that they don't come too
close to me so that's it you see I have
my tape measure ready
I can say hey hey stop getting so close
to me you must keep your social distance
so even though the shops have now
reopened in many parts of England except
here in Much Wenlock it would appear
everyone has decided not to open their
shops however the the food shop around
the corner is open and also the bread
shop as well there is a bread shop just
there there it is so that is a bread
shop and the bread shop well can you
believe it it's just closed so even the
bread shop has decided to close its
doors it was open a few minutes ago
that's normally where we get our bread
from on a Saturday morning we normally
get our bread from there you might
notice that there are people walking
around so you will notice in the
distance there are people enjoying the
beautiful sunshine because we are having
the most amazing day it's a beautiful
day today
to be honest michael says mr. duncan can
you stop getting so close to me
I'm very sorry about that I will try to
keep my social distance you are looking
good mr. Duncan thank you very much I
feel much better I have been feeling a
little unwell for the past two days
because of my hay fever but today
fortunately because we've had a lot of
rain the the pollen is not flying around
going up my nose fortunately so you can
see there are some people walking around
not many people there are some here and
there and of course there is also me as
well standing here talking to myself
well ok I'm talking to you as well
today's live stream is so interesting
mr. Duncan because it's my first time to
see you are doing a live stream in the
streets and not your garden hello gear
Gyan you win I believe you are watching
in Vietnam if I'm not mistaken so a big
hello to Vietnam nice to see you here as
well how are things there now how were
things with your situation
mr. Duncan red really does suit you says
that is the clock here in Much Wenlock
at the church the church clock is three
minutes fast it's still three minutes
before two o'clock so we don't know why
but it looks as if our our church clock
is three minutes fast I think so so now
it is coming up to two o'clock
not yet the church clock was a little
bit too soon you see a little premature
thank you anyway for your lovely
comments yes this is the place in which
I live sometimes I make videos here
sometimes I walk around and sometimes I
film I actually record lessons here
sometimes the only problem is if I'm
doing a live stream I have to make sure
that I have a signal on my phone so you
are watching me on my mobile phone at
the moment and I have to make sure that
you can actually receive my picture
because if you can't then it's it's
really pointless doing it isn't it
really hello also to Sandra Gonzalez
nice to see you here as well so yes
there are some shops open at the moment
many have decided to stay closed so the
bread shop was open but that has just
closed
there are a couple of gift shops that
are open however there are no customers
going in there are no customers going
into the shops because really there are
not many people here tamarah asks where
is Steve is he here with you now he's
not Steve unfortunately is working so
Steve is still at home he's in his
office
sitting in front of his desk working
very hard so that's what Steve is doing
at the moment and I am out here doing
this on a beautiful summer's day it is
so nice I can't believe how nice the
weather is I looked at the weather
forecast this morning and it said that
there was going to be heavy showers and
thunderstorms so I wasn't sure if I was
going to be able to do this I wasn't
sure if I could come out today and do
this but fortunately everything is all
right everything is not too bad I might
try to move the camera slightly to give
you a different view so I have to be
careful if the signal disappears don't
go away because I will move back to
where I was so don't worry if my signal
vanishes I've got my tape measure here
and make sure that lady doesn't get too
close
no no she's she's not she's not getting
near to me I'm all right
I will try to move the camera slightly
so please if I go away if I suddenly
vanish don't panic
I will just move my camera back to where
it was so let's let's move slightly
shall we oh look at this
there we go so behind me you can see
went one of the many shops here this one
has decided to stay closed today
normally from here you can buy lots of
snacks lots of lovely food also ice
cream in fact mr. Steve and myself we
often come in here during the summit to
have an ice cream and sometimes we come
in here to have a cup of coffee
unfortunately today this place this
place has decided to stay closed in fact
there is a sign on the window that says
that they are open on Thursday Friday
Saturday and Sunday
so they are not open on Mondays they've
decided to stay closed on Mondays
however during the summer months
normally this shop is full of people
normally there is a queue outside people
waiting to buy ice cream and other
delicious things as well and maybe
somewhere in that queue is me perhaps
maybe hello to the live chat thank you
very much what a lovely place to have a
cup of coffee or an ice cream yes it is
it's a very convenient place I think
that's a good word to use it is a
convenient place to stop off if you've
had a walk maybe you've been having a
long walk maybe you need a rest this is
a good place to come to there is another
place here just behind me this is an art
gallery you might be able to see it
there is an art gallery just here
also closed by the way so this
particular gallery has also decided to
stay closed today normally during the
week it will be open but because we have
had 13 weeks of everywhere being closed
this one has decided to stay shut it has
that's what it's done I will come a
little bit further round here oh that's
nice
oh I'm in the shade now I like that the
Sun unfortunately is a little bit too
bright
that's better you might not be able to
see me very clearly now but I thought I
would give you an overall view of the
square so there it is much Wenlock
square you can see the museum there is
the museum there is the guild hall and
there is the church so that the church
clock is actually there and that is what
you could hear ringing earlier on for
those who are wondering what the hell is
this my name is duncan and i'm taking
you on a little tour around the place in
which i live because today well many of
the shops across the UK have decided to
reopen however here in Much Wenlock many
shops have decided to stay closed
dude it is so you can see the traffic is
not that busy there are hardly any
people walking around behind me so it
has actually been fairly quiet day here
in Much Wenlock that's better
oh you can see me now that's nice I'm
not sure if that's a good thing or a bad
thing is it I'm not sure the live chat
is oh hello the live chat what about the
library yes there is a library here just
around the corner from here there is a
small library however just like
everywhere else over the past three
months it has remained shit as well it
has remained closed hello - J Daniel our
killer
hello mr. Duncan nice program I am
Daniel from Argentina
thanks a lot from for your exposition it
is so beautiful excuse me for my bad
english don't worry don't worry because
that is why I'm here
I am here to help you with your English
Studies that is what I do normally when
I'm not standing in the street talking
to myself like I'm doing now do you ever
feel afraid not really now I've got used
to doing this I don't mind standing in
public talking to myself as long as I
have something to say that's the worst
thing the worst thing you can do is
stand in front of the camera and have
nothing to say maybe you are slightly
afraid or nervous so you do have to be
careful sometimes you have to make sure
that you have the confidence to do this
mr. Steve I will be honest with you mr.
Steve is not as confident
standing in public doing this it doesn't
really bother me to be honest but mr.
Steve sometimes feels a little bit shy
when he's standing in public and when we
are doing our live streams although he
has done it with me he has been with me
on the live streams in the past he has
hello - hi Lee Kwang
oh hello hi Lee Kwang nice to see you
back as well I haven't seen you for a
very long time nice to see you back here
on the live stream yes I'm doing a
special live stream today because here
in England many shops have reopened the
only thing is that the only problem at
the moment is many of the shops have
decided to stay closed so I thought
there was going to be lots of people
here today but it would appear that
there isn't where is the bakery oh well
the bakery is just behind me it's just
behind me unfortunately it's now closed
even though there are still people
inside there please don't remind me of
food because I am a little bit hungry at
the moment another problem with the
lockdown of cos is that most of the food
shops most of the cafes and restaurants
are also closed as well it's not fair so
I have to make sure that I don't become
too hungry standing here or else it
might be a little bit frustrating to a
new Winn I wish I could go to your house
to visit you and also your back garden
as well who knows well I would always
say if you come to England if you decide
to go on a tour in England why not come
here too much Wenlock come and visit
have a walk around enjoy the shops enjoy
the peaceful atmosphere here in Much
Wenlock
of course across Shropshire so the
county the large area around here is
called Shropshire so that is the county
the county is the larger district that
contains the towns and sometimes the
cities the villages the Hamlet's a
hamlet is a very small village that just
has a few shops Sergio says it doesn't
look like London these days no so even
though many of the shops have decided to
reopen here in Much Wenlock most of the
shops have decided to stay closed how
far away is your house from the center
of much Wenlock if I walk it takes
around 25 minutes so I'm around 25
minutes from from here if I have a
little walk home it will take me 25
minutes it looks like you are on holiday
like Boxing Day yes you are right so
this is the place where mr. Steve and
myself we used to do our Boxing Day
livestreams and they are still available
on my You Tube channel if you want to
watch them again for those who just
joined me yes this is a livestream now
on Monday afternoon hello kappa devi mr.
duncan do you show do you slow your
speaking play pace when you talk to us
not really no this is how I talk
normally I don't change my speech at all
so if I meet someone in the street I
will talk like this this is how I talk
to everyone around me hello good morning
how are you yeah not too bad thank you
mustn't complain everything's alright so
to be honest with you
I don't change the speed of my speech at
all this is really how I speak normally
so not everyone speaks quickly not
everyone speaks fast some people speak
slowly some people speak quickly I just
happen to be one of those people who
speaks at a very steady pace especially
if you teach so if you are teaching
something you have to make sure that
your students understand what you are
saying I heard that many countries have
opened their shops yes well in China as
I understand it I was watching the news
last night and it would appear in China
in Beijing there have been outbreaks in
certain areas where the markets have
been allowed to reopen so that is
something that is happening right now it
is breaking news as they say but here we
are trying something here in the UK well
in England so at the moment in England
we have decided to ease lockdown we've
decided to let people I can hear a
police car I wonder if they're coming
for me
I don't like the sound of that you might
get to see mr. Duncan be arrested live
on YouTube that will be quite exciting
wouldn't it I'm surprised no one has
come up to me to ask me what I'm doing
would you please mind telling me what
you are doing and I will say I am
talking to the world I'm showing the
world Much Wenlock which i think is a
very nice idea when you think about it
yes I think so hello pal Longley hello
mr. Duncan it is the first time to write
the chat it is a little bit strange to
me that no one is wearing masks well we
have to wear masks if we go into an
enclosed space or for example if you are
going to use public transport so if you
are going to go on the bus or on the
train you must put a mask on
you must Oktay says you are on Barrow
Street you are almost right yes well
there is Barrow Street so that road
going there is Barrow Street and then
eventually it becomes shine to nirodh
but yes you are right that that
particular bits behind me there is
Barrow Street well spotted
very good can you please tell me about
Raymond Murphy's English grammar book
well I've never come across it to be
honest and I don't normally like to pass
comments about other teachers or other
teachers books to be honest I don't
think it's very fair I've been watching
yesterday's live stream and you
mentioned today's live stream as well
it's the tree man did you see the tree
man the tree man is the man who drives
around this village and the town and he
cuts people's trees yes I did mention
the live stream yesterday although I
wasn't sure if the weather was going to
be good or not because the the weather
forecast said lots of thunder lots of
showers lots of rain a pretty typical
typical English summer when you think
about it fortunately there is no rain
there is no thunder
hello mr. Duncan greetings from Brazil
hello Brazil I know at the moment things
are a little serious where you are so I
hope you are taking care of yourselves
stay safe please mr. Duncan where is
your mask I have my mask here yes I have
my mask if anyone comes too close to me
I will put my mask on like this Ted I
see so we don't have to worry I can put
my mask on in just a few moments if
anyone comes too near to me there we go
I have my mask the only problem is it
makes my glasses steamed up over I can't
see anything so I'm taking it off out
some people said mr. Duncan you look
much better with your mask on yeah how
dare you how dare you you are the native
English speaker who is the most easy to
understand thank you very much you have
a gift as a teacher that's very kind of
you to say that's such a lovely
compliment
whatever you or my teachers in my
university speak English directly it is
easy for me to hear and understand but I
cannot hear clearly if it is in
listening exercises I mean if it is
recorded well
many years ago I used to actually record
the voices for the English listening
tests when I was in China so I used to
do that quite often and they would
always encourage the people doing it
including me to speak a little bit
faster so what we would normally do is
we would read the script we would read
slowly and then afterwards we would read
it again and we would do it a little
quicker so quite often they would have
two recordings of the listening exam so
first of all they would they would ask
us to do it slowly and then they would
ask us to do it a little quicker so I
suppose it it allows them to give you
two choices it allows you to hear
something slowly but then you can hear
it a little quicker do you know the
others ask asks Jade when you say the
others do you mean the people around me
well I don't know everyone but I'm sure
some people going by might recognize me
they will say oh look there's that
strange man who keeps talking to himself
on YouTube I have my mask ready just in
case just in case anyone gets too near
to me I'm prepared see I can do it
quickly one second that's all it takes
one second and then my mask is in place
and I am protected from all of those
dirty disgusting germs
oh hello captive a mr. Steve was so
pleased yesterday with your donation I
think Steve will be going out next week
to buy a new t-shirt I think so
no mr. Duncan I think that the people
around you will think that you are on
the telephone yes maybe maybe I'm
prepared just in case if anyone gets too
close I will say stand back
keep your social distance hey there mr.
Duncan says life blogger hello life
blogger nice to see you here as well
I'm doing a live stream on this very
special day because today all of the
shops in England are reopening so for
those who want to buy their clothes or
gifts you can now go shopping and this
morning I was I was watching the news
this morning there were people queuing
queueing for very blocks and blocks and
blocks of people queuing waiting to go
into the shops before they open
don't get too close to me you see I'm
prepared I'm ready oh hello handsome
teacher do you mean me
well thank you very much heck gave me a
little thrill then hello parisa nice to
see you where are you watching at the
moment
where are you watching I agree with what
you say Mika the masks are necessary
everywhere nowadays well that is the
reason why I have my mask I have it
ready just in case just in case this is
a clean mask that I put on just before
starting my livestream Jade asks do you
like shopping I don't think you do you
are right I don't like shopping I don't
like walking around the shops I find the
experience to be a little boring and
also a waste of time as well especially
nowadays because if you want to buy
something you can just go on the
internet and just have a few clicks and
then the next day comes to your door as
if by magic people people are coming
today away keep your distance
2 meters 2 meters look I have my I have
my tape measure to make sure that people
don't get too close to me look there's
my tape measure 2 meters 2 meters I know
they are saying that you can go to 1
meter but I prefer 2 meters I think 2
meters is much better much better so I'm
making sure everyone keeps their safe
distance from me
starting to suffocate that's the only
problem with face masks you can't
actually breathe in them which kind of
shop do you like to go to a real one or
the Internet well sometimes I buy things
on the internet if I need something in a
hurry but quite often I will go shopping
maybe occasionally as I said yesterday
I'm not a person who buys things all the
time I don't buy things all the time
I don't always go shopping for clothes
so sometimes I will buy something maybe
a new item of clothes or something like
that some new clothing maybe a new hat
or a new t-shirt but I don't do it very
often what is the relationship between
the two countries England and Australia
well in the past of course in the past
Australia was one of the colonies the
British colonies and one of the most
amazing things is in the past we used to
send convicts people who were convicted
of crimes we used to send them to
Australia as punishment can you believe
it that was a long time ago by the way
it wasn't last week it was a very a very
long time ago somewhere in that bush so
that's how long ago it was it's in that
tree somewhere behind me but nowadays we
don't do that we don't send our
prisoners oh there's the policeman as a
policeman
did you see the police there was the
policeman in a police car I think he's
looking for me
as soon as somebody comes close to you
you can put your tape measure towards
them yes I will
that's why I have my tape measure nearby
that is the reason why the connection by
the way between Britain Great Britain
the British Isles I suppose if you want
to use that phrase that the connection
is Australia used to be a colony and
there is still a very close connection
between this country and Australia so
they still see the head of their country
as the Queen of England they they still
accept they they still say that the head
of their country is the Queen of England
so that hasn't changed at all hello the
invent or hello invent or have you
invented something saying to you have
you invented something useful today I
wonder can you invent a face mask that
doesn't make your glasses steam up that
would be very nice could you please
invent a face mask that does not make
your glasses steam up like this you see
you
No Australia is not a puppet country
they have their own government so they
do have their own government they are
responsible for their own country you
can use a two meter long stick to hold
people away don't worry don't worry they
will definitely not get close to me my
glasses are now steaming up can you see
my my glasses are now steaming up I
can't see how annoying is that it's
really annoying I will be going in
around about 10 minutes so I'm only here
for one hour so if you want to say
something say it now hello Raja hello is
there discrimination by foreigners like
Indians and other who go to England or
the u.s. to study or work well I suppose
it depends where you go you might find
that there is some prejudice in certain
parts of the UK just like anywhere else
you might find that there is prejudice
some people see prejudice as maybe
having a problem with a person's
religion or maybe their race or maybe
just simply from where they come from in
the same country some people can be very
prejudiced against those who who come
from another part of the UK it's true
I'm not joking so you can find prejudice
you can find lots of unreasonable hatred
I suppose that's the best way of putting
it and I suppose also you don't need me
to explain at the moment a lot of people
have been talking about this a lot of
people are talking about this I used to
live in Wolverhampton
and Wolverhampton is very much a
cosmopolitan city there are people from
all over the world all over the planet
living in Wolverhampton so it is a very
cosmopolitan place a mixture of people a
mixture of cultures religious cultures
people who come from different parts of
the world they all live there some
people do not get along with other
people however most of the time you will
find people do get along it is always
the minority that spoil it the people
who have deep-seated hatred for other
people they are always the ones that
spoil it for everyone else so not
everyone is prejudiced not everyone is
racist not everyone has a problem I
would class myself as one of those
people I don't really care where you
come from if you want to pray to your
own God it's fine by me
no problem there are only two types of
people in my mind good and bad
there are people walking behind me they
have to put my mask on so to be honest
with you yes prejudice does exist yes
people can have problems some people's
attitudes are a little out of date let's
just say it does happen it happens here
it happens all around the world Sandra
says I wear glasses but washing them
with soap and it stops them from being
tarnished yes I often wash my glasses
sometimes when I clean my glasses they
are actually worse than they were before
so do you ever do that if you wear
glasses you will know what I'm talking
about
sometimes when you clean your glasses
afterwards they are worse than they were
before
it does happen why aren't you wearing
the facemask that Boris Johnson sent you
the reason why I'm not wearing that one
is because you can't breathe and also
you won't be able to hear what I'm
saying
so that's the reason why I'm using the
clinical ones so this is the sort of
thing you will see in a hospital
this is purse personal protective
equipment PPE you see so quite often if
you see hospitals or people going in and
out of hospital you will often see
people wearing these clinical face mess
they help
to keep all those nasty things from
going into your body do you often go to
the pub no I'm quite unusual in that
respect because I don't really go to the
pub I'm not a big drinker I don't really
drink alcohol all the time I'll be
honest with you I don't so know the
answer for that question is no I don't
really drink a lot of alcohol LaLanne
LaLanne Kumar hello LaLanne Kumar your
clothes are very well matched yes I
think so even my watch I don't know why
but even my watch matches my clothes I
think so the only thing that doesn't
match is the mask I think I should have
a red mask as well so then maybe it will
all fit together hello Cory hi everybody
how are you mr. Duncan I'm okay I'm
having a great time today I'm out
walking around it's a beautiful day the
sun is shining it's very warm and across
the UK or at least across England so not
the whole of the UK only England we have
reopened our shops isn't that amazing
we have reopened our shops maybe you can
buy a red mask yes I would like to do
that then then everything will match all
of my clothes will match how is your eye
today it's much better thank you very
much I was suffering from hay fever a
couple of days ago and my eye became
swollen and very painful it wasn't very
nice but
interesting someone went by on a bicycle
then showing off doing some some tricks
on their bike
this is not the mask that was sent to
you no it isn't
I've decided not to wear that mask
because it's too thick you can't hear
what I'm saying if I wear that mask you
won't be able to hear what I'm saying
and also it's it's too uncomfortable so
instead I'm wearing my clinical mask
instead so I'm putting this mask on so
this one is much more comfortable the
only problem is of course it makes your
glasses steamed up and then you can't
see anything
it is rather annoying to say the least
there is a church in your town yes there
is just around the corner behind me
there is a church Trinity Church is what
it's called ah Anna that's a very good
idea mr. Duncan you can also use your
mask to protect you from hay fever
I like that yes that's a good idea can
you believe I didn't even think about
that that's a great idea yes I suppose I
could also use my face mask to protect
me from all of the pollen that's flying
around that's a great idea my hay fever
today is not too bad it's much better
thank you
because we last night we had a lot of
rain so all of the pollen has suddenly
disappeared so it's great Richard says
in Argentina the lockdown will continue
until the 12th of July so you still have
around four weeks before you return to
normal normal whatever that is you are
gorgeous today because you are wearing
red a lot of people seem to think that
red suits me thank you very much
I've never really been very fond of red
however I don't know why when I
we're read it seems to suit me it suits
me tamarah asks do you ever visit the
church well III visit the church but I
don't go to the church to pray because
I'm not religious you see I don't have
any religious beliefs so I don't go to
church I visited the church it's a very
nice Church I'm fascinated by old
buildings old churches old castles old
monuments they fascinate me because they
are a tangible thing something you can
touch you can actually put your hand
on an old building you ought you are
literally touching the past so that's
one of the reasons why old buildings
fascinate me because you can actually
touch them you can put your hand on
something that is been around maybe for
a hundred years
five hundred years or even a thousand
years it's not incredible what type of
faith do you have mr. Duncan I don't
have any religious beliefs I'm not a
religious person I don't pray I don't
have any beliefs I suppose I'm a person
who believes in the moment that I'm in
which is right now so I always try to
make the most of every moment and then
tomorrow morning when I wake up I will
always have a smile on my face and I
will think about all the people who
didn't wake up I will think about all
the people who will not see the new day
and I will consider myself to be very
lucky indeed because I get to do this
all over again
do you like Turner a painter Turner yes
he was a big fan of clouds and he liked
painting landscapes although I I am more
a constable or a van Gogh to be honest I
do like Van Gogh
van Gogh paintings are interesting
because they are not just pictures of
things but they are also almost
three-dimensional because van Gogh had a
habit of putting the paint onto the
canvas really thickly he would often use
his fingers and put the put the paint
onto the canvas very thickly so if you
ever looked closely at a van Gogh
painting you will see not only the
picture and quite often he painted his
pictures in an abstract way but you can
also see the shape as well they are
almost three dimensional mr. Turner is
English there was a film there was a
movie that came out about the life of
mr. Turner
where do you think you will go when you
die well I suppose I will go back to the
same place I came from when before I was
born
you see I've been there before so it
doesn't really worry me I'm not afraid
of dying to be honest it doesn't really
bother me too much because it didn't
bother me before I was alive so I guess
it's not going to be much trouble after
it's not going to be much bother after I
have to keep my mask on
I keep forgetting there are some people
just behind me you see you can't see
them but there are some people just
behind me and I have to be careful so
now I always think to myself before I
was born before I was born
I don't remember anything and I would
imagine after I'm dead the feeling will
be pretty sick
so it didn't bother me before and I
don't think it will bother me afterwards
either because I will be in exactly the
same situation no longer existing I
didn't think we were going to talk about
such big topics today
Mohsen says I respect your opinion thank
you very much that's very kind of you
respect is a simple word and yet it can
have a very deep meaning or a deep
feeling especially when one person gives
it to another person so no I I don't
worry too much if you want to pray if
you want to believe you can believe
anything you want you can
mr. Duncan do English people use will in
the present tense we often use will to
show something we intend to do something
that we have an intention of doing so I
will see you tomorrow yes I will
so quite often we will also say that
something that is affirmative or
definite I will I will and also you can
say the will of a person which is
another thing altogether so your strong
desire is also your will so you can
actually use that word in more than one
way you have the will to do something
you have the motivation the feeling
inside to do something your will
Lydia asks where were you born I was
born in Staffordshire which is not very
far away from here another County which
is very nearby to Shropshire mr. Duncan
are you a good dancer I'm not sure about
that one thing I'm very sure of I'm not
going to do any dancing today no dancing
in the streets definitely not I will be
going in a moment one hour and four
minutes I've been on talking to you so I
will be going soon I hope you've enjoyed
this unusual this unusual livestream
today thanks for this special livestream
please take care and have a good
afternoon I will I will try my best to
have a good day and I hope you will as
well
Roma hello Roma nice to see you here I
like writing songs could you tell me is
it okay for a sad song
we looked my puppy in every cranny and
nook you might say we looked for my
puppy in every nook and cranny nook and
cranny nook and cranny small spaces
places that are hard to reach nook and
cranny that means you are looking
everywhere for something you are looking
everywhere speaking of dancing
will you please dance the Jazz in Paris
song maybe
maybe we will see what happens we will
see how much energy I have next week can
you please go into a bar and have a
coffee or tea no unfortunately they're
all closed so the cafes and restaurants
at the moment are still closed they are
still shit
however the shops many of the clothes
shops gift shops have actually reopened
they are open again open for businesses
I hope you've enjoyed this livestream
thanks for watching me I thought I would
show you the excitement of the reopening
of Much Wenlock isn't it exciting
unfortunately most of the shops have
decided to stay closed
well it's too hot it's too hot to wear a
mask if I have to wear a mask I will if
I don't have to wear a mask
I won't what time is it in your country
mr. Duncan
it is now 2:45 would you like to see
here it is he's my my watch just to show
you that the time is now 2:45 a quarter
to 3:00 on a Monday afternoon I was
hoping to see lots of people going in
and out of the shops but unfortunately
there are no people because many of the
shops have decided to stay closed
unfortunately they have decided to stay
closed how many people live in much
Wenlock around 5000 so the population of
this place
and that is the whole area of Much
Wenlock including me I am on that number
so that number also includes me as well
around 5,000 so it is a small town which
is what most people describe this place
as they say that much Wenlock is a small
town
where are you going now mr. Duncan well
I will go back home and I will make a
cup of tea that's what I'm doing next so
I will make a cup of tea maybe mr. Steve
will want a cup of tea as well so that's
what I'm doing I will be going back home
and have a cup of tea maybe I will sit
in the garden and enjoy this lovely
sunshine so that answers your question I
hope what do you think about Islamic
religion I don't really have any strong
feelings either way again I suppose it
would be easy to assume that maybe I
have some negative thoughts but I don't
if you want to believe in something if
you have a belief
I will respect that belief but of course
I will also expect the same thing in
return so as I always say respect is a
two-way street respect goes both ways so
that is the way I look at the world some
people might think it's very simple
maybe too simple but if you are a good
person then you are fine by me what will
you take with a cup of tea will you have
a jaffa cake or a cookie I don't know I
might have I might have some biscuits
yes when I have a cup of tea sometimes I
like to dunk my biscuit in the tea
there are some cyclists behind me can
you see the cyclists there are some
cyclists cycling around behind me they
might come here and say hello I don't
know so there are lots of people cycling
today as you can see as well they are
out and about enjoying this lovely
sunshine I think they are taking a rest
they are having a little break I will
say one thing I think today is is a
little bit too hot for cycling I think
so
so there they go by cyclists bye they've
gone now thank you very much for your
company today I am safe I am healthy I
am happy and I hope you are feeling the
same way as well I can't stand masks
even in the picture says sunshine well I
don't like wearing masks unless I have
to
so if I'm told that I have to wear a
mask I will put it on like this however
if there are no people around like now I
will take it off so that's what I'm
doing at the moment thank you very much
for your company do you watch world
wrestling do i watch wrestling no I
don't I don't like wrestling for two
reasons one sometimes it appears that if
the violent I think there's more
violence in the crowd than in the ring
and also the fact that a lot of it is
fake as well it's not real they're all
pretending to jump on each other so now
I don't really watch wrestling to be
honest I've never really had much
interest in wrestling
I've certainly never tried it could you
imagine me trying to be a wrestler dear
they would snap me in half like a
matchstick Thank You mr. Duncan enjoy
your time I'm being attacked by a wasp
Thank You mr. Duncan enjoy your time I
will I will try to enjoy the rest of the
day I have another one of these
wonderful things to enjoy another day of
this thing we call life very nice isn't
it lovely nice to see how quickly you
put on and take off your mask like you
are a gunslinger
yes I suppose so you could have maybe
two people dueling with their masks who
can put their face mask on quicker maybe
Clint Eastwood could make a new movie
that was fast very fast I have to go now
says to an new in I will also have to go
as well I'm going yes I am going I'm
going back home to see what mr. Steve is

trouble and violence and hatred but
