[00:00.79]Rob I don't know why we have to stand up when we present this programme. It's quite tiring.
[00:06.18]Really? But I thought standing up would give us more energy and sitting down makes us a bit lazy.
[00:12.50]But I've been standing up all day, this is my only chance to sit down.
[00:17.90]Why didn't you say. Here, have a chair, take the weight off your feet.
[00:23.40]The weight? Do you mean I'm heavy and my feet can't carry the weight?
[00:28.15]Helen don't be so sensitive. I was being kind. It's a way of saying, relax, sit down, especially after standing up for a long time. ?
[00:37.45]It's got nothing to do with your actual weight.
[00:39.72]Oh I see. To take the weight off your feet. In that case I will.
[00:44.75]OK, and here are some other ways of saying the phrase.
[00:47.79]We've been shopping all day, let's take the weight off our feet, sit down and have a cup of coffee.
[00:54.38]Don't walk to work today, go on the bus and take the weight off your feet.
[01:00.27]Those are different ways of taking the weight off your feet.
[01:03.16]I have to admit Rob, it's very comfortable sitting down. I feel quite relaxed I think I'll put my feet up too.
[01:12.61]Wow, that's another expression we use, to put our feet up.
[01:17.31]Again it means rest and relax and literally, put your feet up on the sofa, or in your case, on the desk.
[01:24.40]Helen you could have taken your shoes off.
[01:26.40]Sorry. To put your feet up Ahh, lovely. Can we hear some more examples please?
[01:32.95]Yes Helen.
[01:33.88]You've been gardening all day, come inside and put your feet up.
[01:37.72]After working for the company for 30 years, Jim has decided it's time to finally put his feet up and retire.
[01:44.85]If he's retiring he'll be putting his feet up for a long time. But Helen we've got work to do, so back on your feet.
[01:52.25]You want me to put the weight on my feet now?
[01:54.88]I'm afraid so. It's time to go shopping.
[01:57.28]Shopping. Why didn't you say.
[02:01.73]Look, I'm back on my feet now.
[02:03.90]That was quick. OK, best foot forward, off to the supermarket we go, left, right, left right.
[02:09.46]Yes, the supermarket Helen. Bye!
[02:12.80]Bye.
[02:12.95]Come on now . Left, right, left right, keep moving those feet.
