  • Transcript for Episode Two: Charlie Farren
    Transcript for Episode Two: Charlie Farren Phil: Charlie thanks very much for joining me today. Charlie: It's an absolute pleasure, at least I think it will be! Phil: [chuckles] Not too many ladies go by the name Charlie. Was that something given to you by your parents or something you decided? Charlie: Goodness no. My mother never ever used that nickname, but I picked it up in Britain where I grew up. There's a saying to be a right Charlie, to play the fool, and I think that's the category I came into. When I joined a cycling club in my early teens, I was the only female. I don't think the blokes liked that very much. I got a male name, and it stuck with me all these years. Phil: Please tell me the name of that club because it has a wonderful name. Charlie: Oh, The Mitcham and Tooting Cycling Club. I lived in South London, and it was a Touring Club. I've never really raced, but I've done time trials and puffed up hills behind guys in leather shorts and at the time they were smoking pipes too. [laughs] Phil: As your accent gives away already, but you've now readily admitted, you don't come from these parts. Charlie: Hey look, I've been here longer than I've lived in the UK, decades! I came back in the middle ages really to Australia. I think it's a wonderful place. As long as you can escape from time to time.
