Are you ready?
Not yet you’ll see, so forgive me I’m just stuck in the seat.
Let’s talk about the traffic show, it essentially talks about the traffic.
Okay, wait two minutes okay. Wait a minute let me just look at the map. Okay, let’s talk about the traffic.
It says there are lots of cars.
Yeah, what can we do?
We need to sort it out, maybe you can when you’re bigger.
You can sort it out now, you tell me what you’re going to do.
You give me a good idea and I will give you a good idea.
Okay, I’ll give you a good idea. We can push the car out of the way.
It is actually a good idea. Okay. I have another idea. We can make the cars smaller. Is that a good idea?
What did you say?
I said we can make cars smaller. Make cars smaller, then we’ll have more space on the road.
That’s a good idea what else can we do?
We could make the roads bigger. Is that a good idea?
I don’t think that’s a good idea. Because then we’ll have to cut down more trees. That’s a bad idea. What else can we do? Have you got any ideas?
Okay, we can make cars fly, that could be a good idea, give them wings to fly. Yeah, we’ll give them some buttons.
Yeah, they definitely need buttons to fly. And what colour should we make them?
Should we make them all red?
Okay, we’ll make red flying cars.
That’s a good idea, isn’t it?
Right can you think of more good ideas?
Do you have a good idea?
We can give everybody bikes, if we gave everybody bikes then there will be less cars on the road.
I don’t know. I think people don’t like getting wet or exercising. We could make bikes with roofs so people don’t get wet.
What else can we do?
We could make more trains. Everybody could go on the train instead of in their cars. Is that a good idea? Oh we can make trains that carry cars. You could drive onto a train and then the traIn would take your car to wherever you’re going. And we would sit in the car.
What did you say?
I said we could put the cars on the train. It just seemed like a good idea. Right look, I can’t hear you when you’re making that noise. I’ve got another idea. We could have special buses that go to everybody’s house and take you wherever you want to go that’s a good idea. And maybe, maybe they don’t have any roofs so you get a really good view of where you’re going. Yeah.
No thanks. More ideas.
Okay. We could have special taxis. That you phone up. You say ”I want a taxi” and a special taxi comes to your house. It’s a little bit like a ski lift. The doors open, you just jump in and it carries you via cable cars all the way across the traffic to where you’re going.
That’s a good idea. Isn’t that many ideas?
We’re doing lots of ideas today. Okay, well here’s a good idea. We could have really clever lights that told you when to stop and go, telling you how to avoid all the traffic jams.
More things.
Okay. Here’s a good idea. We could all start working at different time. Or schools can start working at different times. So that not everybody does the same thing at the same time.
And.
We car, Oh shared cars. So there would be less cars on the road because we’d all be sharing and you’re just paid to someone excuse me where you go. And they might say ”Oh, I’m going to London”. ”Oh, I want to go to London too, can we share the car?” and then instead of two cars going to London, there would just be one car going to London.
That sounds like a good idea and more things.
I’m trying to think of all the things you haven’t had many ideas yet.
…
Okay, I’ve got an idea if we lived by a river. If we lived on the river, we could use a boat instead of a car. Like a river taxi that’s a good idea isn’t it?
Taxi Yes. I think that’s a very good idea.
Say that again, what was your idea? You have got to speak louder because I can’t hear anything.
…
That’s better. We’re going to Newcastle… Newcastle.
