00:00Right, er, you see how weird that is?
00:03You know, when we was growing up, being younger,
00:05Easter and all of the normal Christian-type holidays,
00:08we were big, we were doing stuff.
00:09There's always something happening now.
00:11But life has changed, work has changed,
00:13your demands have just changed, just in general.
00:17So it's always going to be difficult to...
00:20..to do the things that you traditionally would do.
00:23I don't get eggs anymore. I do.
00:25My nan's always saying she's got...
00:27She's already told me she's got me an egg.
00:29No, my nan doesn't even get me eggs.
00:31She used to get me Churrits all the time.
00:32Doesn't even get me Churrits anymore. I'm not getting an Easter egg.
00:35Oh, I will be breaking lent and eating chocolate.
00:39That's the thing, I don't... I don't celebrate Easter.
00:42I think...
00:43We'll have a roast, but that's about it, yeah.
00:46Yeah, still got plenty of chocolate eggs, even at my age.
00:49We don't celebrate in anything other than just having a day together,
00:53eating chocolate, watching a film, maybe.
00:55It's about all we do, really.
