[00:00.53] Hi, I'm Rob. And this is Helen.
[00:02.95] Hello.
[00:03.70] Now come on Helen, we've no time to waste. This jumble sale has nearly finished and we haven't got any bargains yet.
[00:10.38] Yes, all I've bought is an old teddy bear and a hat with a hole in it.
[00:14.89] A jumble sale is a great place to pick up some second-hand goods but make sure they are things you want. So what are you looking for Rob?
[00:23.85] Well, some antique pots and some vases. And then I can sell it to someone else and I'll be quids in.
[00:30.30] What? Quids in? What a strange saying.
[00:34.17] Well, it means I'll be in profit, or I will have made or saved some money through some kind of financial transaction.
[00:41.66] I like the sound of that. But did you say squids in, like the creature in the sea, a squid?
[00:48.38] No nothing like that Helen, the word is quids, it's a slang word for pounds. A quid is ?1. You might hear people talking about it like this:
[00:58.40] I'm broke so can you lend me a quid to buy a cup of tea, please?
[01:03.74] Come on ladies, who wants these lovely strawberries? Only two quid a box.
[01:11.99] So a quid is a pound and if I am quids in it means I will have made some extra pounds sterling.
[01:18.84] Ah, why didn't you say? Quids in means you could be rich.
[01:23.70] Possibly possibly. But let's hear some other people who are hoping to be quids in.
[01:29.95] If we complete this deal, we'll be quids in.
[01:33.46] With such a good exchange rate you'll be quids in when you go abroad on holiday.
[01:39.33] I paid ?50 for it but sold it for ?60 so I'm quids in.
[01:47.40] The English we speak.
[01:51.30] OK Rob, if we're going to be quids in today we need to get buying things.
[01:56.77] Did I say "we"? Anyway, look at this old vase, it's only ?10. I could clean it up and sell it for ?20.
[02:05.21] Sounds fantastic. We really would be quids in then. Come on then let's buy it.
[02:13.67] Right OK, so I've got my bargain for today, let's go home.
[02:18.75] Rob watch that step!
[02:20.62] Whoa. Oh no, my vase. It's broken.
[02:25.61] Oh. Do you think you'll be able to get ?20 for it now?
[02:30.25] No, I won't even get a penny.
[02:33.42] Rob won't be making a profit on selling his old vase now it's broken. Is there such an expression as being quids out?
[02:40.90] No there isn't. But there is an expression about being out of pocket.
[02:46.71] Hmm, I think we'll leave that for another day. Come on Rob I'll buy you a drink to cheer you up.
[02:53.37] Thanks Helen. See you next time on The English We Speak. Bye.
[02:57.72] Bye.
