Transcript_2_Bumbly Police Station Part 1 Police Station: Good morning! Bumbly police station, how can I help you? Helen: Yes, I need to report a stolen bag. Police Station: Just a moment and I'll put you through to lost and stolen property. Policeman: Hello Sergeant Road speaking, how can I help you? Helen: Yes, hello I'd like to report a stolen bag. Policeman: Hmm... okay a stolen bag! uh... we've been getting a lot of these lately. I'll need to get some details let's see. When was the last time you had your bag? Helen: Well, about two hours ago. I just can't believe this has happened. I take it everywhere with me. It was given to me as a graduation present. I'm just so upset. Policeman: Yes, I know. It's very frustrating. Helen: It seems like I put it down for a second and then it was gone.
Policeman: Yes, look, the good news is that most of the stolen bags in our area are found usually without the money. So I’d be surprised if you don't get it back later. Tell me what does the bag look like? Helen: Well it's dark blue, cylindrical, it has two carry handles either side of a zipper on top. Um... the zipper actually runs the length of the bag. It's a vitoli bag. Policeman: Okay, are there any other identifying marks on the bag? Things that would be unique to it,name tags, scuff marks that kind of thing. Helen: Well, not really, there are a couple of scratches in the top left corner on one side of the bag near the handle and I think another one in the opposite corner. Policeman: Okay. Scratches on opposite corners. Now where were you when the bag went missing? Helen: Well, I remember the time. It was a quarter past 12. Oh no, actually it was a bit after that, more like 12.25 because I was supposed to meet one of my friends for lunch at 12: 30. Anyway I was standing outside the supermarket when all of a sudden, a group of teenagers came walking past. They must have been heading towards the cinema. They seemed to be in a hurry and probably late for the movie. So, I stepped aside to let them by. When they'd passed by, I reached down to pick up my bag and it was gone. Policeman: I see, now can you remember the contents of the bag? Helen: Yes, um... let's see my passport and some traveller's checks. Fortunately I was carrying my camera and I had my wallet in my pocket. They're the main valuable things.
Policeman: Okay, anything else at all ? Helen: Let's see, no I think that was it. Oh a few pins. But that's all really as I say nothing of real value. Policeman: Okay I'm going to have to get your details. Are you here on holiday? Helen: Yes as a matter of fact I am. I'm visiting from Canada. I've been here for three weeks already but I'll be here for another month. Policeman: Now.. have you contacted your credit card company? Helen: Yes, I did that immediately. They were very helpful. I still can't believe this could happen to me and while I'm supposed to be enjoying myself on holiday. Policeman: Yes, it's a real disappointment whether you're on holiday or not. Your thieves strike when you're least expected . Anyway I need to take down your particulars, what's your name then? Helen: Yes, uh my name is Helen Ready. That's R-E-A-D-Y. My address is, well, the place where I'm staying here is The Palms, unit 14, 75 paradise avenue. Policeman: Okay, I may need your home address in Canada but I'll get that more towards the time you're going to leave. Uh... What about the telephone, what number will I be able to reach you on? Helen: Yes, it's four double five nine one double three two.
Policeman: Okay, four double five nine one double three two and how much do you think the bag and contents are worth? Helen: Well, it's not really a big cost, probably only a hundred dollars, it's the inconvenience of it all. Policeman: I understand, look we have a lot of lost or stolen property recovered daily. Come by the station tomorrow and have a look. As I said there's a high chance that we'll get the bag back. Your passport at the very least. Helen: Okay thanks for your help. See you tomorrow then. Bye. Policeman: Yes.. Bye! Part 2 The day is coming so my grandfather used to say when people are going to pay for water. Well, that day has come. Bottled water, how did it come about? Why are people prepared to pay for something that up until only recently has been completely free? With me in the studio is Bill Gilroy, founder of UK water starters who promises to shed some light on this topic, welcome Bill. Thank you and hello everyone. I dare say that not many of your listeners will be aware of this, but the bottled water market in the UK was actually first established a long time before your grandfather. In fact, it was established almost two centuries ago when the beneficial properties of mineral and spring water were recognized. The idea of bottled water meant that people would benefit from it without having to actually travel to the particular spring
