  • Welcome to Real English, with Real Teachers.

  • We are here in Piccadilly Circus to ask the people of London which possession would they never lend to another person.

  • I would never lend my microphone.

  • Because it's dirty, disgusting, because I beatbox into it all the time like (starts beatboxing).

  • And if it happened to that, if I used that, that would get dirty as well so, yeah, I wouldn't lend that to anyone.

  • Do you not clean your microphone?

  • I do. I have to do that everyday but it's still filthy.

  • I'm here with Jim and we're asking Jim what he would never lend to anyone.

  • So, hi Jim.

  • What would you never lend to anyone?

  • I think my pillow. Yeah, I wouldn't lend my pillow to someone.

  • Why not?

  • You're sleeping on it all night.

  • You don't want someone else's, you know...

  • All up in... all up in your face.

  • Yeah, I think pillow.

  • Are you emotionally attached to your pillow?

  • Yeah, yeah. -Okay.

  • ...his walking stick!

  • My phone.

  • Okay, why?

  • Too many secrets.

  • No, just never give away your phone I think.

  • Mine's my knives 'cause I'm a chef.

  • I don't just carry random knives around with me.

  • I'm not like that.

  • But I have chef knives so I never let anyone use them.

  • That makes sense.

  • 'Cause I don't want them to ruin them and they're expensive, so I hate people using my knives. I get very...

  • He won't even let me use them.

  • I don't lend anyone.

  • He wouldn't let me use them.

  • I would never lend, as bizarre as it is, my Buzz Lightyear toy cos my grandad gave me that before he passed away.

  • My uncle passed away as well but I've still got his old-school kind of bourbon Chelsea boots.

  • So I wouldn't lend them to anyone.

  • But apart from that, I'm pretty comfortable with anyone borrowing anything apart from probably them two bits.

  • What is one possession or one item of yours that you would never lend to another person?

  • My makeup brushes, I don't like it.

  • I'm the same.

  • Well no, like, they just use them in the wrong way and then they make all the bristles go funny.

  • Okay.

  • No...

  • Yeah, I feel you.

  • Kimchi.

  • Kimchi?

  • Kimchi!

  • You would never lend your Kimchi?

  • Yeah.

  • Okay.

  • The food, Kimchi?

  • Yeah.

  • You would never give that to someone else.

  • Okay, cool.

  • Mascara.

  • Your mascara. And why?

  • Because you can get sties and it's pretty gross.

  • Sty. What is a sty?

  • It's like a little bump that you get on your eye, like an eye infection.

  • It's not an eye infection.

  • Well, it's like when bacteria builds up and then you get this little thing..right..

  • Girls know all about it, and for me, it's eyeliner because I just had a sty, which is why she is saying that.

  • I just had a sty and so, don't share your eye products with other females.

  • Never share your eye products with other females.

  • Okay, ladies?

  • You're watching Real English With Real Teachers.

  • Yeah, thank you, man.
