  • IT’S BROUGHT!

    The other review is right! Richard and Marina keep saying BOUGHT to you when it should obviously be BROUGHT to you. They are intelligent people so this mistake is utterly ridiculous and absurd, sort it out!

  • V v good

    This is entertainment for me- I find it interesting and hilarious in equal measures. My favourite bits are Richard’s left field comments that make me laugh out loud and Marina, you are so darn clever…. Thank you and keep up the good work 😊.
