Dan: Yes, I think so - I certainly enjoyed the independence of it all, even though I
sometimes had to do things because one of the others wanted to.
Anna: Actually I have travelled by myself again since this trip and will do again.
There’s an element of selfishness in wanting to travel alone, but you are so much freer
when you are able to make your own decisions.
Presenter: Well, thanks to both of you ...

Woman: So what do you think of this place then?
Man: Well, it’s better than the one I’m in. I’m in some dreadful place round the corner.
Woman: Are you? I thought we were all supposed to be here.
Man: We were, but there was a last-minute change of plan. The meetings are all going
to be here though.
Woman: We’re in the same group tomorrow, aren’t we?
Man: Yes, it’s Travel in the Future or something, isn’t it?

Look, I’m afraid that simply won’t do. You were supposed to be here at three to do
these repairs and it’s half past four now. I’m not interested in your excuses ... no, you’re
not sorry at all... no I’m not being unreasonable ... is it asking too much for you to keep
an appointment? ... look, I need it doing now, it won’t wait... no, tomorrow afternoon
won’t do ...

Yes, it’s tomorrow at 11. I haven’t given much thought to it, to tell you the truth. I’m
normally pretty nervous before them, but this time I’m not, for some reason. I haven’t
got a clue what my chances are but that doesn’t bother me. It’ll just be good to have the
opportunity to show what I know - I shouldn’t think there’ll be all that many questions I
can’t answer. I’ll just go in there and give it my best - I’ve got nothing to lose.
