Caller: I hear that the Airlines are proposing Child Free flights..
Presenter: Is it normal to expect peace and quiet when you travel on a plane? Should other passengers allow their unruly children to spoil the start of your holiday?
D11: What will the Airlines think of next? Child free buses and trains? Get a life, please!
Presenter: Would Child free flights spark a national outrage. Would it be better if there are Family only, Adults only or couples’ only flights?
D11: What next? Refusing to carry disabled passengers because they pose a risk? They are out of touch. Stop penalising children for being children. Normal kids make noise, if you cannot handle that, then charter your own flight.
Presenter: If one goes on holiday without his/her child, why should other passenger's kids be allowed to ruin the flight?
Caller: People with such disdain for children should'nt even be allowed to adopt, let alone give birth
Presenter: I cannot see why you are upset. There are child free bars and child free holidays, so child free flights is the same. It's not a bad idea at all.
D11: You are terribly mistaken. You are acting as if you were not a child.
Caller: Does that mean parents going on holiday with their kids travel on one flight while their kids travel and another. That is total nonsense!
Unknown Audience member: I am a mother. It's fine to travel with kids if they are my kids. But when I am travelling alone or with my grownup friends, I do not wish to be disturbed by other passenegrs's kids. I hate being disturbed when I am travelling....
Presenter: If you don't mind, this conversation is between me, the caller on the line and D11. Please do not speak unless the dancing light rest on you. This is meant for everyone in the audience.
APPLAUSE
UAM: Well, The caller and D11 are not supposed to be in agreement on the subject matter. Once the first one who spoke establish his position, the other should have adopted opposing argument. Yet, you turned a blind eye to a breach of that rule....
APPLAUSE
Presenter: thank you for pointing that out. However, but I am aware of what I am doing, but you don't. So please take your seat if you wanna occupy for the rest of the show.
CHEERS
Presenter: Thank you.. Do you think there should be a Kids' Area on the planes, where children can make as much noise as they like without disturbing passengers?
D11: The last thing I want to hear when I am relaxing on my flight is other peoples' kids crying and screaming.
Caller: Do we have child-free free shopping? Child free cafes? Child-free restaurants? Why are some people so anti-children? Were they born adults. I was a child once.
D11: I think they were once screaming children themselves. But it seems they are too old to remember now.
LAUGHTER
Presenter: So you don't mind when a child kicks the back of your seat or screaming its head off when you are trying to enjoy your flight?
Caller: What I am saying is that travelling is very important for children. It introduces them to other cultures and further education.
APPLAUSE
D11: I think they are just frustrated because they can't have children or they are not allowed to adopt or foster

How the VAT rise affect us
Presenter: Welcome back
APPLAUSE
Presenter: Ladies and gentlemen, the topics that I will suggest for our next CHIT CHAT session are: Kara Tointon breaks down on Comic Relief Trek, Emmerdale's Charity beds boss Jai, Alyssa Milano is pregnant, Kylie Minogue thinking about marriage, Ipad outselling other tablet rivals, Ashton Kutcher for Ghostbusters III, Raoul Moat 'planned to turn dead badger into a hat', Rihanna sold 10 million albums in the UK.......
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Presenter: X5, pay attention, we have a caller on the line. Caller, you are ON, which of our suggested topics would you like us to chit chat on tonight?
Caller1: Holy crap! The VAT rise has been a nightmare. A good deal of our products needed re-pricing. I have never felt this bored and fatigued at work...
X5: (interrupting) WHATS UP?
Caller: VAT…..
X5: ...not conducive to economic growth. I think the Chancellor has made a huge mistake...Charity begins at home. Too much of our hard earned money is been sent abroad as aid.....
Caller: No Comment....tuition fees, congestion charge, train and bus fares. In March, council tax will be hiked as well. To make matters worse, the rich seem to be getting richer, whereas, the poor getting even poorer. I hope none of the other viewers or anyone in the studio audience is mad at the people who wished you happy New Year just days before. No doubt, life will become increasingly harder for a lot of people. But the survival instinct in us will help us cope. This phase we are going through cannot last. So hold on to your New Year resolutions, dreams and high hopes.
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
Presenter: Well said , caller, well said.
X5: In our shop, we encountered literally hundreds of price tags that needed to be changed before midnight. Normally, we closed at 5pm sharp. Not yesterday. I almost screamed, tempers flared across the shop floor. We were so tired when we finally finished, we almost forgot to program the 2.5 VAT increase in the computer. I knew I should have called in sick. This is the best way to avoid tiresome and tedious tasks such as this. Reached home about 2 am. I suspect the other members of the A team who lived much further reached home much later.
Caller: Well, I hope Facebook will not close, I wouldn’t want to crawl back to BEBO. Hate it!
BOO, SHOUTS OF DISAPPROVAL
Presenter: You must stick to the original topic that you selected
Caller: I know the rules, I just forget. Sorry.
X5: Totally unaware that VAT went up by 2.5%, today the beggar on the train was still asking for 37p to buy something to eat. I gave him 43pm..
Caller: Today, most customers complained to staff. I didn’t think they would be in the mood to show any sympathy towards my fingers, still aching from the previous night’s ordeal, so I kept quiet. They seemed so pissed off sometime when I told them that the prices for their items was inclusive of VAT. No one wants to be reminded. No one can blame them for feeling this way, especially if they were already struggling when VAT was rolled back to 15%.
Presenter: I heard quite a number of shops did not update their price tags and computer system in time. So their customers were pretty unhappy, especially as they were simply being charged higher prices at the tills. Any thoughts on that?
Caller: Unfortunately, our shop was not prepared to absorb the VAT increase. It passed it on straight to customers. John Lewis and Topman said they would be the last shops to increase prices. Well done Sir Phillip Green. They accused him of tax avoidance to the tune of 285 million, but I don’t believe a word of it. He seems too devoted to his wife to use her in that fashion. Anyway, shops that freeze prices now can only do so for a limited period. So stack up on your guilty pleasures as quickly as you can.
X5: The 2.5 increase VAT makes me hungry. Every time I eat something I feel guilty.
Presenter: VAT will not be applicable to second hand or vintage products, kids’ clothes and food but don’t be surprised if Macdonald’s charge you a little more for your Big Mac. While some retailers vow to keep their prices unchanged, others will undoubtedly pass on the tax increase to customers. Please bear in mind that the former cannot freeze their prices indefinitely. Sooner or later, they will have to increase their price list. So if you were quite pleased with yourself for being able to buy your Jaffa cakes just before the VAT increase took effect, you better wipe that smug grin off your face now.
Caller: The VAT increase is bad for the economy as things will become more expensive, people will cut back on their expenditures. The result of this is increased job losses. People are more likely to spend if VAT is at 17.5% instead of 20%. If you were ever in doubt whether you could purchase a particular item, it must be clearer now. It’s impossible for anyone to purchase more goods and services if their purchasing power has been diminished. So how is the economy going to get stimulated?
Presenter: (jokingly) It might have to do it itself.
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
X5: I was forced to curb my use of Data Services and Roaming. Too afraid, I will be sent a massive bill plus 20% VAT. This is so inconvenient...
