October 21[edit]

Trying to decipher a couple of words from a BBC podcast.[edit]

The podcast is: Friday's business with Joe Lynam. A 'perfect storm' for Rolls Royce. Joe Lynam presents the business podcast. It can be found here

I'm trying to understand the first 15 secs. "Rolls Royce the greatest symbol of British engineering" It's only the next couple of sentences from this speaker that I am curious to understand. Can someone help? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.57.72.82 (talk) 19:16, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe "we all salute that particular 5-door". Siuenti (talk) 19:35, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say the OP would probably like a little bit more. I've tried but it won't play. Letting you know so you won't think I'm ignoring your request. Basemetal 21:04, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Won't play for me either. StuRat (talk) 21:08, 23 October 2016 (UTC) [reply]

That link won't play for me, but I googled the phrase "'perfect storm' for Rolls Royce. Joe Lynam"; the iPlayer link has also gone dead, but here it is on Audioboom. This is what I hear:

Rolls Royce - the great symbol of British engineering. We all salute that particular flag - or at least we have for many years. Joe - but it's going through a difficult time. It's going to get more difficult today.

Hope that helps. Carbon Caryatid (talk) 13:19, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
