[speaker002:] Yeah....
[Obina:] I know...
[speaker002:] ... ...
[Obina:] Is she going?
[speaker002:] I don't know.
[Obina:] She might have and when I see her I'm gonna tell her
[speaker002:] Who?
[Obina:] Fiona, about my...
[speaker002:] You're saying your sister's a lesbian?
[Orgady:] Don't know yet
[Obina:] her mum's at the day centre, a day, you know she was gonna face her. She's got a stroke in her and her mum can't talk or walk. Granddad who
[speaker002:] lesbian there.
[Obina:] Granddad, who was looking after her, died. I can't, I just... I, where, sort of god almighty, this man, right, he was a good eighty-nine, right. Good twenty years older than my Grandmother, right. When I say he looked my Grandmother's age group and he he looked bulimia even though he'd not done it. her father a hundred thousand, wait until she's twenty-one though. When she's twenty-one that's when she can get her money... because he died and left all the money to her, right. Cos he use to be er, you know like in them black films when... famous tap dancers
[Orgady:] Oh yeah.
[Obina:] he used to be one of them in America. When he found out his daughter had a stroke he had to come from America and look after her... and like... then, from then on, he was just like, had that money in the bank, really. He'd buy a house for Penny's mum, a big, big house... and then they'd sell it again... and he left every bit of the money to Dionne, so she'll be able to look after the child when she gets twenty-one and that, but now
[speaker002:] Has she got a child?
[Orgady:] Are you sure she's not working?
[Obina:] I don't think so she's erm slow, she's, she's like erm, she has to go to a special school

[Orgady:] What? So she can live with him?
[Obina:] Yeah. but I was really upset.... I'm really upset found out. Really upset.... I can't believe it!...
[Orgady:] You think... what, what, do you think... did you know she was
[Obina:] She used to send us erm like... I think, she didn't send us one this year though, she's erm like, wherever she is she'd send us a Christmas card, an Easter card she didn't say where she is or anything.
[Orgady:] Did, do you know, do you know if she's been with someone?
[Obina:] No. I haven't heard from her since last summer.

[Obina:] with microphones.
[Robert:] It's not wa with a microphone it's just that I've got a little socket for a microphone. It's not really expensive it's not that.
[Obina:] Yes it is expensive. It's more than a hundred pounds I bet.
[Robert:] Hundred pounds!... Ridiculous! It's got play, rewind, record, pause, but
[Obina:] Yeah the ones with rewind buttons got the more expensive.
[Robert:] Still not gonna cost a hundred pounds.
[Obina:] Alright then, maybe not that much but quite a lot.
[Robert:] Yeah.
[Obina:] Over forty pounds I bet.
[Robert:] Yeah about maybe forty five.

[Obina:] No! I've told you I haven't got it, Robert. Blimming heck! What's a matter with you?
[Robert:] Just wanna, just wanna know if you've got it?
[Obina:] No I haven't.
[Robert:] What, where can I hear it? Cos I, I can't hear it on any of the stations.
[Obina:] You could when they play it probably, Robert. They play it, you notice if they're in the charts, you could listen to when they play
[Robert:] Where? Where? When?
[Obina:] the charts!
[Robert:] When they on?
[Obina:] Well, probably, I think Saturday or Sunday they play the charts. Don't you ever listen to the radio, you know?... And don't slouch, put your shoulders back, boy! And put your stomach in.
[Robert:] How can I walk like this?
[Obina:] You have to walk like that, but put your shoulders back. You slouch like that. Put your shoulders back.

[Robert:] Where did you get it?
[Amanda:] Get what?
[Robert:] The thing.
[Mum:] Well why
[Robert:] [LAUGHTER] Well why do you need it, why do you need a towel?... Why do you need a towel. Why er why [LAUGHTER]
[Mum:] game.
[Robert:] Mum and Dad's got it. [cough]
[Mum:] Come on Mum.
[Robert:] Go get in the blooming bath.
[Mum:] Why?...
[Robert:] I'll rewi rewind that actually heard what you say, you must be very naughty and nasty... thing to be to your son. [unzipping a bag]... I can't have a sweet then. Well you're not give me a sweet an all.... Should give me a sweet you know.... You should.
[Mum:] You're gonna turn it off because I wanna tear you off a strip about something.
[speaker002:] Me?
[Mum:] Yeah.
[Robert:] Why?... What are we talking about?
[speaker002:] Mum what's Hamlet about?
[Mum:] Pardon?
[Robert:] What's Hamlet about?
[Mum:] Hamlet?
[Robert:] Yes.
[Mum:] I don't know much about Shakespeare, the only play I've seen is Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
[Robert:] to er see Rome and Juliet.
[Mum:] Mm.
[Robert:] And I think I need to make it up.
[Mum:] When is
[Robert:] I dunno.
[Mum:] Well you better find out then.
[Robert:] What do ya mean I alw I'm only saying it cos I got
[Mum:] Well no if you can go.
[Robert:] You give me the money for it?
[Mum:] If it's within reason as I assume it will be.
[Robert:] Five Pounds.
[Mum:] That's okay.
[Robert:] W would it make much difference for you lending me the money.
[Mum:] Not a lot. Well there's a quite a bit of difference between five and fifty isn't there... and the one thing is for your educational needs and the other I'm so convinced about.
[Robert:] Well
[Mum:] Yeah.
[Robert:] I thought a computer
[Mum:] No, but I know that you're dying to have a computer, and if money was no object, then we probably wouldn't hesitate in lending it to you, but really and truly at this moment things are... tight and we can't afford to commit ourselves with things... unless it's absolutely necessary.
[Robert:] Well
[Mum:] And that's it, I mean I've made it as plain as I can. That is it and I hate it when you keep on and on nagging.
[Robert:] I won't go and see Romeo and Juliet.
[Mum:] Well don't go, it's not my fault if you don't pass your exams.
[Robert:] All right.
[Mum:] Did you watch that animated version that you recorded.
[Robert:] Yeah.
[Mum:] Does it give you the gist of the story?
[Robert:] It, half an hour long. [too far away to be able to hear]
[Mum:] Well I think it's longer than half an hour. They probably should
[Robert:] an hour at the most.
[Mum:] Given you er... erm
[Robert:] The film is about hour and five minutes.
[Mum:] You can probably have a video of it as long... of another version. Well it's does help to see different... versions because... you see that different people interpret the [tv very loud]
[Robert:] Why do you
[Mum:] Mm? Well it depends on the people who are producing or directing or whatever, so it's all got... different ways of doing it. When I was studying I went to Open Air Theatre... and... I saw... a version there [tv is very loud] on Christopher... er what's his name... that chubby fellow with the glasses... Christopher Biggins that's it. He was playing Puck... and when I went to see the Company... doing it well they had a completely different way of doing it, they wo they did it really like er... a dec you know the the mechanical play, I don't know if you know A Midsummer Night's Dream. They did it in a completely... slapstick farce way... you know th the men who were dressed up women they balloons and had rosy red cheeks and wigs and things, it was quite... different.
[Robert:] How they
[Mum:] Well that's it, when Shakespeare wrote a play and the text has survived and, but the way of... of joshing the people on the way they do it is different every generation and even most of the people in the same generation would... would have a different way of doing it.
[Robert:] Okay.
[Mum:] There's a comedienne... erm... she apparently was born in Wales.
[Robert:] Mhm.
[Mum:] Two Ton Tessie O'Shea that's her.
[Robert:] Two Ton Tessie?
[Mum:] She yeah, that's her her nickname, cos she was quite big and she played the nurse in Romeo and Juliet in the season on Stratford on Avon and she did it using a Welsh accent because she thought Shakespeare, having coming from... quite near the Welsh Border Country might well have had... might well have had a Welsh... nurse. So it didn't matter that Romeo and Juliet is set in Italy.
[Robert:] Mm.
[Mum:] She did it as she would have... thought Shakespeare would have known people and things, you know, she did it like that. Mm. And I remember Amanda seeing a video of Romeo and Juliet And what struck me was that the costumes were all sort of like you see portraits of Elizabethan dress.... Now I don't what Italy and those... Middle Ages would have been like, that the sort of clothes that were worn.
[Robert:] Mhm.
[Mum:] But... the clothing in that film struck me very much as being like Elizabethan dress. Yeah, I mean now plays... of... Shakespeare and... they're wearing modern dress like those worn at Richard the Third or something and they're wearing... well either First or Second World War... uniforms.
[Robert:] Yes.... It was very different then.
[Mum:] Yeah, well it's just different... directors have different... things they want to emphasise in a play and if they want to bring something home or... they think that using a certain... well like say the way the people are dressed and everything will... will have more of an impact, you know will... One thing I was wondering about you know they... they talk about erm... in... Shakespeare's works is the language the words he uses, the... the sort of poetry of it and the symbolism that's used.... Erm do they talk about that at all in your English Literature
[Robert:] Yes.
[Mum:] Do they show you how you can learn about this, there's a book you know the book I bought you it's got notes in it. Does that help with it?
[Robert:] I suppose
[Mum:] Pardon? Well you should do. And what about... I bought some... revision books and things study aids or something for Amanda for her English literature Well I bought them for Amanda and she was doing... Romeo and Juliet. So if you look in those you may find there's some help there.
[Robert:] Yeah.
