"No, there was one is that no, you'll think so you're getting a little bit confused, but there was a time when I was so I was on my first journalism job in maidenhead. And I did get unwell, and I'm pretty sure one of my flatmates must have contacted you and you ended up bringing me home. Right. All right, yeah. But yeah, maidenhead slash in London can take it. It's not that different. But yeah. Your friend Sarah, what you have in your family. Oh no, that was much later. That was much later. All right. Yeah. Well, there's highs and lows, aren't there? Yeah. But yeah, I mean, I guess I'm just really feeling really grateful to you that you have always been there and I know I'm really lucky to have had someone to bring me home like that because I think for some families they're not necessarily close. Or they might find mental illness if too difficult to deal with. And I do really worry for people like that because there seems to be only so much that. Yeah, there seems to be only so much that mental health services will do. We've sort of got carrying the community now, but a lot of that does mean relying on families to sort of pick up the slack. What has it been like hearing me talk about mental health and write about it so openly? That was a bit of a shock first. It was a shocker first because it was so embarrassing. My generation didn't talk about it. But I'm sorry it's what you do. I'm very impressed. Were you worried though? Because I remember when I did first started sort of writing about it, I remember saying, are you sure you want to do this? Is it going to affect your career? Yeah, so also can drag up all sorts of bad memories and bad feelings as well. But yeah, well, there was a time when it would have affected your career. You wouldn't want to touch you. Quite simply. But it's changed, I hope. Yeah, I think it has changed. I think in my profession, it has changed. Yeah, I don't know because obviously I can't speak for other professions. You would hope that with them all with more awareness around it. Around mental health. That people wouldn't be so close minded, but then you don't know to you. Yeah, I can't say about teaching so I've been out of it for so long. But I mean, like I said, it's really common, one in four struggle with mental illness. So I think it's really helpful, like workplaces that encourage people to chat about mental health and not do it as a sort of token thing on world mental health day. But bosses that really understand problems that people might have and be genuinely sympathetic when you need time off. That makes a huge difference, doesn't it? What did you find it like in teaching or did you just never kind of really mention I don't think you're too busy in teaching doing your teaching? Yeah, I don't remember discussing it with anybody. I mean, I had to leave teaching at the end of my career because I got ill. It was definitely a stressful time. I was trying to teach the wrong subject. And dad retired. So I returned, I just checked it in, but no one sort of said, oh, that's a shame. Why? I mean, that was in the middle of a churn. I didn't wait till the end of time. I just had to leave because I was ill. But I don't remember them asking why you really. It's interesting. Yeah. And it wasn't that they weren't a good kind and there's a very good head teacher there at the school. And we were friends after that. We went to visit them, and they moved off to Devon, but not a lot was said. And I don't know, but I can imagine there's probably actually quite a lot of people struggling in teaching and especially. Because it is very stressful and with lots of cuts and things and it's probably more demanding than ever. And especially over the past few years with COVID, that the pressure on the teachers would have been huge. So I'm hoping it's more supportive now. I've got two more questions then. So, okay. So what would you say to anyone who has just received a bipolar disorder diagnosis? Yeah, to get plenty of support, make sure you see a good GP. And don't give up on taking medication because that's probably the key. Yeah, as far as I know. Well, that really helped you. And also, don't be afraid to talk to your friends about it. I mean, I've got a good friend, a GP now who was a GP. Talk to things like that about her. It's become a normal part of our conversation. And welcome to the club. There were scrubs. Yeah, and I'm trying to be positive about you. And do you hope is to do as much as you can for yourself. Yeah, I don't get overwhelmed by it. And don't blame yourself for it either. Absolutely. I think, because it is a health condition, yes, but it's not who you are. It's just something it's just a health condition that you can manage. That's why I think that's right. So this is goodbye from

The assessment is set to be delivered to the new prime minister who takes office next week and is likely to fuel calls for expanding the windfall tax. While staying with inflation, Federal Reserve officials stress their commitment to tackling high prices while remaining vague on how big their policy move will be next month, three regional fed presidents are all saying that curbing sawing inflation is their top priority. Thomas barkin of the Richmond fed sees it as more important than growth. We're committed to getting inflation under control and there's a path to get there.

So when you say there's a risk of recession, it doesn't have to be like a 2008 recession.

And now The White House says that Mikhail Gorbachev, who has died at the age of 91, dramatically reduced the potential for a third World War. The former leader of the Soviet Union is widely credited with bringing an end to the Cold War without bloodshed. Speaking before his death, Russian historian and politician Vladimir said that Gorbachev's vision change global politics forever. In the world, must say thank you, mister Gorbachev for freedom for independence for new policy for democracy for liberal political system. That was the Russian historian and politician of Vladimir, of course, the tributes being paid to Gorbachev in all of the newspapers by political leaders. It was such a remarkable time Gorbachev figure of my childhood and yet we're in such a different place now with Vladimir Putin waging war in Europe. And unbelievable contrast, but it really fascinating to read some of the tributes being paid to him and also to remind ourselves of the significant part that he paid in European history as well. That's our top stories this morning. Let's get a look next at some of the events we're watching out for later on. We've got Liang garands back in studio with us Liam. What have you picked out for us? Hi, Steven. So at 10 a.m. UK time we'll have the latest CPI reading for the Euro errand will be watching that closely for you. Also at 10 a.m. we'll have the CPI reading from Italy. Then at three 30 p.m., the EIA releases its weekly crude oil inventory report today as we've been discussing in you've been reporting Russia's Gazprom is set to halt gas flows through the keynote stream pipeline and that will be for three days of maintenance and later Cleveland Fred president Loretta mester speaks at an event in Ohio and her colleague the Atlanta fed president Raphael bostic is also speaking at an event, but he'll be in Georgia. And finally here in the UK, it is a day of industrial action across a whole range of sectors, royal mail staff on strike for a second day. That's an arrow overpay. Meanwhile, journalists reach newspaper group which does own the mirror and the express will also down tools today and the GMB union says the queen's bins will not be emptied this week as refuge collectors in Windsor and maidenhead are also a striking overpay. So lots happening on that front and I hope the queen is okay with their bins not been emptied. I think she probably has enough space to not be sitting next to them. I would hope so. I would hope so, Steven. Obviously, and Garret thank you very much for that look ahead. Okay, now let's go to a Bloomberg exclusive. UK gas and electricity producers could be in line for a 170 billion pounds in excess profits over the next two years. This, according to the treasury sums, is something that officials will be presenting to the incoming prime minister and shows the potential for expanding the windfall tax, joining us now to discuss is Bloomberg's Lizzie Burton. So, this Bloomberg scoop it really, it highlights perhaps the internal raglans within government, Liz truss is the one tip to become the prime minister next week. She's talked about tax cuts though, not growing, Rishi sunak's windfall tax. This is a big one from Bloomberg's Alex Wickham and Todd Gillespie. It puts pressure on whoever is the next prime minister to increase the existing windfall tax on oil and gas production and then extend it to power generators as well. Remember, trust has repeatedly ruled out windfall taxes because she says that they send the wrong message to investors and the guy who's tipped to be her Chancellor quasi Quartet has also said that he's against them on principle. And then while both trust and rich assume I have said that they would do more to help the poorest household through the cost of living crisis, neither of them has said how much by. But by these figures, if the current rate of the windfall tax 25% were extended, it would mean that tens of billions of pounds in revenue could be generated to help people with their energy bills this winter, which of course, as we know, are set to rock it to triple the level they were last year. I wonder whether this is what nadeem zahari the Chancellor was talking about in that interview with our Caroline Hyde when he said he was working on additional measures to help households so that the next p.m. could hit the ground running, although he wasn't that specific, perhaps this was one of the suggestions, but then again he does back trust. So you have to wonder whether he would hit her with a windfall tax plan. There is yes more gloomy forecast though for the rest of the economy Goldman Sachs now saying that if natural gas prices remain high, inflation could reach 22%, BRC days are pretty grim as well when it comes to price rises. Yeah, I mean, it's gloomier than the 13% the Bank of England has currently forecast gloomier than the 18% city had

"Days due to maintenance and later the Cleveland Fred president Loretta mester speaks at an event in Ohio and a colleague Atlanta fed president Raphael bostic does also speak at an event, but he'll be in Georgia and finally here in the UK it is a day of industrial action across a range of sections, royal mail staff are going on strike for a second day this is of course in a row over pay. Meanwhile, journalists at reach newspaper group which does own the mirror and express will also down their tools today and the GMB union says the queen's bins won't be empty this week as refuge collectors in Windsor and maidenhead are also now going on strike overpay. Okay, Leon, thank you very much for that. Now to a Bloomberg exclusive UK gas and electricity producers could be in line for a 170 billion pounds in excess profits over the next two years. That's according to calculations from the treasury. It's something that officials will presenting to the incoming prime minister and shows the potential of expanding the windfall tax joining us now is Bloomberg's Lizzie burden with more on this story. Lizzie, good morning to you. This Bloomberg scoop highlights some internal wrangling within the government. Liz truss tipped to be the next prime minister has talked about tax cuts and not growing windfall tax. Yeah, it's a big scoop from Bloomberg's Alex Wickham and Todd Gillespie, really it puts pressure on whoever is the next prime minister to increase or extend the existing windfall tax on oil and gas production. Perhaps to power generators as well. Remember truce has repeatedly ruled out windfall taxes because she says they send the wrong message to investors and the man who's tipped to be her Chancellor quasi Quartet has also said that he's opposed to them on principle. Both trust and sumac have promised to step up support, but neither of them said how they, how much they do it by. But by these figures, if the current rate of 25% is continued, it generates tens of billions of pounds in revenue that could be used to help the people who are struggling with their energy bills this winter and they're set to rock it to triple the level where they were last year. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, if natural gas prices remain high, the other factor of this, Goldman Sachs saying yesterday that you could see 22% inflation in Britain in the coming months. I mean, this is, you know, we passed the 10% figure and we were staggered, but 22% is something else. We've also heard shot price inflation figures out this morning also soaring. This is unprecedented. Well, I've been looking through the graphs on the terminal this morning. It would be a record for CPI ONS, The Office for national statistics records only go back to 1988. But for comparison, RPI, the retail price index hit 26% in 1975 because of the oil shock, of course. So it'd be approaching that level. And this estimate from Goldman is based on the anti regulator saying that bills will rise to 3500 pounds in October. And forecasters are talking about 6000 pounds plus next spring, but even if 22% is an aggressive forecast, what it shows is that hopes are fading that inflation is going to peak in October. It's gloomier than the 13% the BOE is seeing its gloomier than the 18% that we were already shocked by from city. And Goldman economists are saying it would trigger a 3.4% drop in GDP. So even if energy costs moderate, they see a peak of 14% in January, either way it really hammers home how painful this crisis is going to be. And how big it is in the p.m.'s in trade and how make the pain will be that the BOE is going to have to inflict to control it. Yeah, well, I mean, you mentioned there the p.m.'s in tray, Rishi sunak big interview with him in the Financial Times today, saying that he struggled to see how his trust as tax and spending commitments add up and warning that they would be complacent and irresponsible for the next prime minister to not be thinking about the risks to the public finances. This is a fairly profound form of flag waving on his bars. Yeah, he's saying that her tax cuts could drive up borrowing costs if markets lose faith in the British economy. And if the Tories lose their reputation for fiscal discipline, he said that they'd lose one of their biggest advantages over labor. He cited the former BOE governor Mark Carney talking about how reliant the UK is on the kindness of strangers to fund its deficits and he also said again how opposed he is to trust his proposal to review the BOEs mandate. Frankly, he's preaching to the choir here giving this an interview to the Financial Times all the polling suggests that the Tory grassroots who are voting at this stage don't care about any of this, regardless of whether or not he's economically right. But really, and there's a brilliant Bloomberg editorial about this on the terminal. What the 22% inflation forecast shows is how much naval gazing is going on in this leadership contest when perhaps what's needed is a longer term strategy focus on and I'm quoting here. Energy security decarbonization and economic growth. Yeah, I mean there's a huge difficult issues Bloomberg city burden. Thank you so much for being with us this morning. Well, later on, the program we're going to be able to discuss some of these big issues with sir Charlie bean, of course, the British economist, he's currently at the LSE, but he's formerly of the Bank of England. And of the OBR. So a hugely important economist that we'll be speaking to at about 5 past 9 in London time this morning. Yeah, secondly, apparently, to ask him about the outlook for inflation

British Airways workers at London's Heathrow Airport are set to strike in a dispute over pay, adding to a wave of industrial action across Europe that threatens to unleash travel chaos this summer. Staff backed the walkout after the airline refused to reverse a 10% pay cut imposed during the pandemic, BA says it has offered a 10% payment to compensate for the cuts, Nadine Houghton from the GMB union says it isn't enough. The 10% bonus is a one off payment. It's there and then it's gone once it's gone. 10% of consolidated pay goes into our members pensions. It increases year on year with any further pay rises, so there's a very big difference. GMB national officer Nadine Houghton speaking there. The U.S. Senate has voted to approve bipartisan gun safety legislation and what's being seen as the biggest breakthrough on the issue in 30 years. The bill will now head to the U.S. House of Representatives where it's expected to pass before being signed into law by the president. The vote comes as gun stocks rallied after the U.S. Supreme Court established the right to carry fire firearms in New York. The story from Bloomberg's Charlie palace. It signals a favorable outcome for the industry in the aftermath of recent mass shootings with calls for more restrictive gun laws. Smith and Wesson brand surged 9.6% after the decision was made to strike down a New York law that required people to show a special need to carry a handgun in public. In New York, Charlie pellet, Bloomberg, daybreak, Europe. These developed developments come just weeks after recent gun shooting, gun massacres at an elementary school in Texas and at a grocery store in Buffalo in New York State. Those are our top stories this morning now time for the London rush where we carve out some time to highlight stories making headlines in London, joining us now is Bloomberg's at breaking news editor. Charles cable, good morning to you Charles. I noticed that we have the well, we've got some AIB news on the agenda today. What's the story? You're standing the definition of the London rush to include Ireland. Technically, I think maybe I'll allow it. You're listed or it's the wider wider region. Yeah, allied Irish bank. It's the Irish government planning to extend their trading plan to sell down their stake. Now, I think this is particularly interesting, given the news that we had yesterday, of course, with the UK government extending a similar program to Nat west group. So it's just the details. So they are extending it to late January 2023 instead of July the tenth this year when it was due to end. And this is quite a useful way for governments to reduce their stake in banks because it isn't a shock. It isn't a share sale like a placing where you might sell 5% of the bank or 700 million pounds worth of shares overnight instead what they do is they task somebody, they task a bank with the job of gently selling the shares, you know, generally about 15% of the trading volume they will just gently reduce that exposure that they have. The Irish government currently holds about 68% of AIB down from 71% at the start of the plan. And yeah, that plan will continue until January. Okay, yes, and in Charles, there is a dual listing, isn't there a chance? It is predominantly listed in Dublin. But there is listening here in London. That's the key thing. That's why we can talk about Argentinian copper. Mining in Australia and all sorts of things. Let me get to packaging. There are packaging businesses listed here in London as well. Not all of them are British Charles. Let's start with that. Which is the company in focus today. It's eccentric. And I think they are British. But they I supply a speciality plastic and fiber products and what they're doing is that they're basically cutting out anything which isn't really pure components and they just want to be a business that makes components. So what they've done is that they've sold their packaging business to an Austrian company for 312 million pounds in cash. Now they're also looking at their filters division but this is all part of their long-term goal of becoming a pure play components business and their shares are up ever so slightly this morning. So an interesting deal there can confirm their headquartered Milton Keynes. So definitely. Exactly, yeah. Well, let's stay with another British business. And this is to do with Barclays, buying a mortgage company. Yeah, exactly. They've agreed to deal to buy Kensington mortgage company and it's also a related mortgage portfolio, which to be fair actually makes up the majority of the cash consideration. Now when I initially saw Kensington mortgage company this morning, the first thing that popped into my head was 2 million pound flats and Ferraris and Aston Martins, but actually something like that. But there are actually based in maidenhead and instead of the ultra wealthy, they serve people who are self employed or they have multiple incomes or their over 55s and this is a group of consumers which is particularly hard for mortgage companies to serve, and they are and they are underserved a little bit. So this company, they focus on this group of consumers, Barclays are now buying them the total consideration for the deal is expected to be about 2.3 billion pounds, so it isn't a small deal by any stretch of the imagination. They're buying it from funds managed by Blackstone and 6th street 6th street partners. And yeah, it's a very interesting deal. They have about 600 employees. I've never heard of them before this, but they are quite a significant company. Yeah, and sticking with financial services, but there are different nature. We've got wise, reporting next week, and also biffa, what's on your radar? Exactly what TransferWise or wise as it's now called, there are of course a cross border payments company. I think they've particularly interesting when it comes to remittances and they are a bit of a challenger to transfer union as a transfer union. Western Union. Western Union, exactly, yeah. They're a bit of a challenger to Western Union. And it will be interesting to see how they've performed. There are recent IPO income in London, they're a FinTech IPO. It's a sector that the government and particularly the city wants to get involved, so their performance is particularly interesting and biffa group as well, very interesting from them. They received a possible takeover offer, I think, last week, maybe the week before, but there's some M and a speculation around that. So again, their results will be in focus. They'll get a lot of attention. Grace, okay, Charles cape are breaking news editor with the London

You know there was a story of a woman who graduated college ninety the other day and i circulated it and i said you know so much for being to let me. It's never too late right. it's never too late. I went to university when i was forty. Seven and my graduation. When i was fifty and this is a kid that left school was expelled from school with absolutely no pretty much navigation whatsoever. So we all. I think tennis is something in the film which is so poignant to me she said you know. What did i learn. I learned that we are all capable of so much more than we think we are and we can show so much more. And i think that is absolutely the essence of what i'm saying you know and that we are all capable of so much which i think will constrains us from the moments in. I have people say to me. I could never do what you do. I actually i have to disagree with you. You absolutely But you just don't think you can you know but i doctor on the boat in the middle of the southern ocean.

Maybe that you have ignored well. I think that's brilliant. I really appreciate that.

Oh my gosh. i'm in love with ireland and in nineteen sixty. Six is a high school kid. I went with a friend and her mother to the aaron islands. And that's the only place we went. Her mom was an artist. We we spent a week there and she painted and we went to the sessions. I think they're called at night. There was no electricity and we just listened to irish music and it was it was it. I fell in love with ireland. Then and then a few years ago i took another sister to to another part of ireland and that was in donegal county donegal and To visit her where her ancestors came from her. Grandmother's family. Chris law and That way up in the northern part of ireland northern ireland but in the northern part of the republican ireland. Well what's funny about that. Is people in the republic put their noses in the air when anyone refers to northern ireland and the south because the republic of ireland while most of it is south of northern ireland which logically make some sense the most northern points on the island that are that is ireland are in donnie. Go which is part of the republic so when you go into donegal you've got this big square lake county kind of looks like a square rectangle and then coming off the top. The most northern part of county donegal is the rest of the county donegal which is like a peninsula that goes northward and eastward and wraps around the top of northern ireland so maidenhead the most northern point on the island that is ireland is not in northern ireland. it's in donegal in the republic and that peninsula. that comes off of donegal. while it's very much part of county donegal. They is referred to as into showing. And if you know the plays of martin mcdonagh the fellow that did the screenplay that won the academy award for three billboards in. I think it's eddington missouri or something like that He's his family is from there originally although he grew up in london and he writes a lot of plays about inishmore and inishmaan. And it's all referencing that In a show in peninsula area. It's very cool so Whether there any other things you wanted to mention that people could put down on there. I must see that to list. Oh well donegal absolutely erin. Islands absolutely We also visited Eden county In county kildare bolton abbey of course sister rosalie. Who paid with me on that trip.

That's way up there. But you're i think you're on the main level. It's been since i was inside but it's an amazing experience and of course it's a trinity college is A thriving college campus. And you feel the energy of that and the students in the heart of dublin A great area of dublin. Where there's so much going on you walk out the grounds of trinity college and you'll find a place called the irish whiskey museum. And it's not like the other tasting experiences and informational experience at tullamore. Who makes more do. And the d. e. w. is for the name of the guy who was his initials of the guy that may that may tell them more. Do may tell them. More whiskey famous. It's not like going to a bushmills jamison or There are a number of feelings in dublin also Because each of those is promoting their own brand really and their own history. The irish history of the irish whiskey museum covers about. I don't know a thousand or ten thousand years. I think it's a thousand years of irish whiskey history just as the development of the product and at the end they don't you know they they have whiskey tasting of all kinds of places and you can go slurp to your heart's content But something. I pay us on by the way because i don't drink but i so enjoyed that experience and then whole area call temple bar make sure you go Down fleet street and walk from the main street down.

There is a marketplace that i went in and they had like Chana masala bet a couple of other indian dishes that the couple had dairy right but the chana masala did not and it was just in clear plastic To go bowls with the ingredients.

Is this because that was the best thing ever put my mouth. He said yeah. Yeah it was so good but is everything you're talking about and i couldn't I didn't really know what how it but it was it was it was heat and salt and a little bit of smiles at a little bit of a bit of smoke man. You're not going to get that in california. Probably i saw you on. Tv share grilled fruit. Which i thought was really interesting. I never thought of grilling fruit. We always put put vegetables tofu on kebabs and meat eaters. Put lots of meat on kebabs but Kimberly put fruit. I mean why not summer and we we put everything on a bob like you said we have a ton of meat so why not put right next to you know especially if you have a meter meter at home you know to put something that's that's healthier for you on the guerrillas. Well and i really. I really enjoy trying out new things with those recipes. I think something. I created something so unique. That is surprise myself. I think that's honestly impresses me about my cell phone. Something i'm like. Oh my god this is a whole thing. I've never even heard of. This is amazing. So i made a jolly rancher slave from kebab.

Loving is so creative and You know some of your background in cooking your self taught. Is that correct. Yes yeah. I love that you just the expansion. You're just like i'm just going to try. Anything is chefs that we've had on. That are more classically trained you know. I don't know they tend to stay in certain certain boxes. She says she has a degree in food. Tv right now.

His accent was incredible and he. He just had us in stitches as being the kitchen and he was one of our favorite foods he'd be sheriffs and we watched him and everybody else. They came on food growing up. You know before the there was the master chef in all that this is just people in their homes with a couple of cameras and making it happen and i consumed so much that it's then i definitely have a degree have you have you met. Justine have you reached out to hell now. Just in his pat just on. I was probably three. He was maybe seventy he's he's long gone but he's he definitely was not vegan Which is senior. So what air now. But but being a self taught chef means that When i tried new foods. I have the ability to taste what i am eating and then write notes about an go home and make it so. I never have to ask the chef. What would you put in this You know so. I just put the notes down. I'm like ooh that's okay. That's not too. I'm even gets even crazier ads. Andre agassi crazier. Because i'll have dreams about recipes that i'm like ooh that would be really nice like i have some sort of food ancestor. Who writes speaks to embed street. Like here's a recipe. You should try.

"Woman named Ruth Belleville died in 1943, her longtime companion, Arnold was right next to her. Actually, he was sitting on her night stand. Which might seem a little bit strange until you realize Arnold was a clock well, was named after the maker who made it in the late 17 hundreds. John Arnold Anisa Ramirez is a material scientist who has written about Ruth Belleville and how the 24 7 world was invented. And so on. The face of the clock is his Arnold because of the maker, and so she just named it. Arnold and her family had been in this business of selling time using this clock for 100 years. Of course, time existed before Ruth, Belleville and Arnold. Since about 17 50 Ben Franklin had been celebrated for the phrase time is money. But Ramirez, who's the author of the book, The Alchemy of Us, argues that one of the strange things about time is that once we created fancy, almost perfect clocks and found materials like quartz to stick in them. Those clocks and those materials. Will they turned around and started to reinvent our lives? Ruth, Belleville and Arnold. They were a sign if anybody needed it. Time was about to conquer everything. She would wake up early in her home in Maidenhead, which is about 30 miles outside of London, Take the train to London and then take the trolley over to Greenwich and then walk up a very, very steep hill to the Royal Observatory. That's where GMT Greenwich mean time was, and they had precise clocks. So she would go there. Then she'd make her way down the hill and over to London to various customers that needed to know the precise time. See, this is before cell phones and radio and television where people could get the precise time for the from those gadgets. But they wanted to know the exact time and the exact time was located at the Royal Observatory so she would walk around different parts of London selling the time. Why would people pay her for the exact time Like who cared to the minute? You know where the second Well, it ends up that navigators really needed to know the precise time because they use the precise time in order to determine longitude. See if they compared the time that they knew that London had, and if they knew the time because of the position of the sun, they could figure out where they were on the map. But if they had a clock that was wrong Would know they wouldn't know exactly where they were on the map, and that could actually be deadly. They could end up in the wrong place. So so they certainly Navigator certainly needed to know the precise time Okay, factories needed to know the precise time so they knew when to start and stop the work day. Businesses needed to know it because they had to note when transactions happened. So they were a range of different people who needed to know the exact time Esso where they're multiple people. I assume she was not the only person in this business. You just went around saying like this is the exact time here's my watch. You set yours to match mine. Well, that's a good question. Well, her father started the business, and he was the only person in town selling the time and astronomers needed to know the time because they needed it for their observation. All work, okay. And then our mother sold time for a while, and there were other things that were populating that started to sell the time like the telegraph. But although that was a new gadget, it ends up that Arnold. The clock was actually more precise because it was a very well made watch. And then And then, when Ruth came along, there were even more businesses that sold the time even even radio And also you can call to call a telephone number and get the precise time so she had less customers than her father her father had about 200 customers, and she had about 40 or 50. But that was because, well, there were other ways to get the precise time. So in some ways, you know to like, modern years. It sounds crazy that somebody ever had this job. But can you just talk actually about the ways in which the need for precise time itself at that moment was a really modern thing that showed Like this increasing importance of time and that just time but really knowing what time exactly it Woz. Well, time, they say, is one of the most used words in the English language. And if you look at the dictionary of the Entomology of a whole range of words, you will see that they're in the 18 hundreds because we were obsessed with time before we used to say, Hey, meet me on Tuesday and you would just show up. I didn't say a precise time. And you would just wait Now, if I say meet me on Tuesday. If I say meet me on Tuesday now and I say to 30 and I'm late by 20 minutes, you're out of there. We already live in this time, this world of being obsessed with tar So time was a way to coordinate people's actions and to move things faster. You could you could have appointment you can. You can have your gun of trains running, so it was really key to. It was an underlying grid that we all had to snap onto. In order for the world that we know toe work, and in Ruth stay that was still starting to happen. So that's why her business was it was able to survive. You also talk about. I mean ways in which, knowing about time, um, in different ways than people had in previous centuries. It changed human behavior. It changed how we slept. It changed how we interacted with other people. It changed, you know, sort of how society was structured. Absolutely. I mean in ends up that before the industrial revolution, we used to sleep differently. We slept in two intervals. We would go to bed around nine or 10 o'clock, sleep for about 3.5 hours and then wake up on purpose and do things around the house. Like so read. Go visit our neighbors because they're up to and then And then after that hour of partying, we go back to sleep for another 3.5 hours. These two segments of sleeper called 1st and 2nd sleep and everyone slept that way. So what changed that? Two things artificial like that allowed us to go to bed later. And the second thing that changed it was the clock. We had to get up early to get to the factory, Both of those segments of sleeper truncated by the light and by the clock, and so it didn't make sense to go to sleep, Wake up in the middle of the night and then go back.
