Pancake Day

In the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland and several other countries around the world, Pancake Day is celebrated with fun, games, and of course a lot of eating. However, the most well known activity is the Pancake Day race, which has been held since 1445. According to tradition, a woman heard the shriving bell being rang at the church but was still preparing her pancakes. The story says that as she didn't want to be late to church she ran there in her apron, still, clutching her frying pan.

Listen to the interview, which accent do you understand the best?

The part I liked the least is the part of the programme that

the presenter helps the boy competitor

The best part of the story is when the presenter is captured by Penny,
 the assistant. It’s so funny! She’s tied with a rope and she’s got a sock
 in her mouth.

My favourite character in the play “ARE YOU READY?” is Penny, 

because she was so funny, she was wrong all the time with the adding up.

Penny was tall, she has got fair hair, brown eyes, a round face, and

she was wearing a black T-shirt and black trousers.
