John and Alison wander through Edinburgh's famous Christmas market, chat to a few tourists, become hysterical over some very lame jokes and go for lunch. Business as usual. Please note Johns insistence that he is not drinking til Christmas and time how long it takes him to forget. Person closest to the time gets a t shirt.
Hope you enjoy it.

Usual, unedited, freewheeling, nonsense...bear with us as 2023 hits it's hot an glorious summer we are back in the room and in the ear area with What's The Chat Series 2.
It's a round up, catch up and waffle in advance of the more regular podcasts we have planned from here...yes there is food and drink involved ...and we hope you will join us as we celebrate and indulge in some of the best food and drink Scotland has to offer as we do what we do best. Eat and talk, drink and talk, fall out with each other whilst eating, drinking and talking....you get the gist...
After listening back to this there are some howlers courtesy of John making things up like a toddler and expecting us to believe it. On the other hand there are bits that I don't believe and having fact checked are in fact accurate. You decide which is which.
Oh and John has lost a tooth, and looks like he's been scrapping with a world class kick boxer so feel free to ignore him if you meet him the street. I do.
