Good evening! I'm Martin Smiles. Well come to the "Yes/No Contest". Now, the rules are very simple. I'm going to ask question for 30 seconds. You mustn't answer with "Yes" or "No", and you mustn't nod or shake your head. Well, here's our first contestant... Mrs Alice Leach from Nottingham.

Smiles: What's your name?
Mrs Leach: Alice... Alice Leach.
Smiles: Where are you from, Alice?
Mrs Leach: Nottingham.
Smiles: Did you say "Birmingham"?
Mrs Leach: No, Notting... (dong).
Smiles: Oh, dear. I'm sorry, Mrs Leach.
Now our next contestant is Ralph Milton, from Blackpool. It's Mr Milton, isn't it?
