Transcript WB 08 Speaker i To my mind. schemes lite this that entourage pcoplc to ndopt grecnerlifestyles can ontybe a step in the right direction. Personally. I think it would be wonderful to live in the pollutionfrce enyironmcnt of an ccoiown and I would lovc the idea that cycryhody who lives there would be likcmindcd people who share the same attitude to the enyironmcnt as me. Speaker 2 The governmcn: is trying to oersuade us that thesc tarbon neutral ecotowns arc going to be environmentally friendly. Weil, that‘s not how I sce it at alt. The way I envisage it. they'11 just become commuter towns, wherc residents go home to sleep after a day‘s wark in the city. The roads around it will get congested so any savings on cnergy will be immediately wiped out by intreased car use. I think they should concentrate inttead on building sustainable buildings in e*isting towns. That would sccm like the best option to me.

Speaker 3 fm a resident of a yi.lage which is situated ncxt to one of the sites which has been earmarked for an eco town. for me a major drawback of the whole idea is that they^e going to tear up the beautiful green landscape in order to create a horrible. soullcss town. How can they cali that green? Speaker 4 There's a lot of controversy around Ihese cco towns. Some people arc against them because they havc concerns about traffic congestion and I think thafs a fair point. But others are against them because they don't want to see tnc countryside being concreted owr. fm afraid I don't go along with that objection. I don't belicvc affluent people with their big country houses havc a nght to complain about their views being spoiled when there are thousands of people from urban areas that can't afford homes at alt. So all in alL I coutdn‘t agree morę with the govemment’s proposals.

Transcript WB 09 Hosł ... ano our guest now is Max Peny. the managing dircctor of a website that helps people make their drcams come true. Welcome to our program me. Max.

MP Mello everyone, glad to be herc. But let me be elear on something -we help in the seareh for happiness. but we don't make it happen. And we give no guarantces and take no responsibility for the outeome ...

Hosł Weil, of course. a:l is fair in love and war...

MP Speaking of which, let me tell you a story about both. There was łhis charming armyofficerwhowas sent overseas with his unit and ctaimed to be lonety and misunderstood. kc got m touch with a woman via our sile and seduced het with romantic messages. She was planning marriage when she found out Ihat something was wrong with her Mr Right. f>o you know what was wrong with him? Our Romeo had no fewer than SO fiancecs. i’m sorry to say he met cuery single one of them on our datmg website and dated them via e mail. But, you see. we cannot be held responsible for that...

Hosł Oh. surę you can^-:! But SO?! And hcrw- did he get discoyered? I mean. emails are private ...

MP In fact, one of thesc women did eyentualty hack into hrs e mail account. stole his e-mails and circulated them among the rest. They wcrc outraged! But actually, the schcme got exposed when one of his betrothed appeared on TV to talk about the pain and pride that soidiers" spouses fecl. Another bridc-to be watched the show. got suspicious. started <nvcstigating and found the others. Now. you won"t belicve this. but ahhough nonę of them had actually met the guy. many had bought wedding dresses and were ready to march down the aisSe! Others were buying pillows and dishes or preparing to sell their houses for him! Hosł Wow! They were rcatfy ready to take a chance on this guy. They must have been prclty angry when they found out. So. did they sue him?

MP Ohyes! But guesswhat reallygot to them? It wasn't that our Romeo had proposcd to all of them. In fact. once it was over, most were baffled by their own behaviour. And then. listen to this. it turned out the guy was aiready married. But that stiHwasn't d. In fact. the most infuriating thing was the fact that their ex fiance wasn't as tali as he daimed to be. Vou sec out dating screice is for Tali Singles who want TaR Partncrs. And so these women belieyed what he had told them - that he was 190 cm tali. He is in fact about 20 cm shorter.
