While the timing and nature of his announcement, at 23:00 BST on Saturday via Twitter, may have been a surprise, Geraghty is bowing out at a similar age to McCoy and Walsh.
He broke his leg in a fall on the eve of last year's Grand National, one of a catalogue of injuries.
Yet Geraghty remained at the elite level and one of his last winning rides was one of his best - guiding Champ from a seemingly forlorn position to win the RSA Chase at Cheltenham in March.
He will be remembered as a successful and likeable rider who managed to thrive in a golden generation of jump jockeys.

Mr Johnson said in a video posted on Twitter on Saturday : `` I want to join with you once more in mourning the victims of those terrible events @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in their fight for justice .
`` As in so many cases from this conflict which brought violence and destruction across the western Balkans , many families still do not know what happened to their loved ones .

`` And there are those who would prefer to forget or deny the enormity of what took place .
We must not allow that to happen . ''

He said : `` During my time in the Hague between 2003 and 2006 , pursuing those responsible for this dark chapter in European history , I was reminded daily of the heinous cruelty perpetrated against the innocent .
`` The UK is determined to end impunity and help rebuild those countries affected . ''

bbcuk--2020-07-11--Leicester lockdown: 'Stop-start routine' affecting children's wellbeing

With holidays cancelled and schooling haphazard , the effects of being in an extended lockdown are being keenly felt by some of Leicester 's youngest inhabitants .
BBC News Online finds out more .
For two weeks in June , Kheisha Topiwala returned to primary school , played with her friends and caught up with her teachers .
Then her school - Whitehall Primary School , in Evington , Leicester - was forced to close after a positive case of coronavirus and Kheisha , five , found herself back at home again .
`` She 's missed her friends , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
`` It was good for Kheisha to go to school - to see her friends , the social interaction and of course the education .
`` Then she could n't go back because her teachers were self-isolating and then the government put Leicester on lockdown again .
We 're fortunate she 's adapted really well . ''
Kheisha 's parents , Krupa and Jitin , are among many parents in the city who are worried about the effects of an extended lockdown on their children .
Mr Topiwala , 41 , said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to comprehend .
`` She 's aware there are changes at her school , but being at home she does n't understand why she 's going to school and then she 's back home again .
`` It 's been stop-start , which has been disruptive especially since I 've been working long hours .
`` It 's not consistent and there 's no routine , which is important for children 's wellbeing .
`` We 're concerned that Kheisha and children in Leicester are going to be at a learning disadvantage to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 're in another lockdown . ''
Across town Jay Briggs , 28 , has similar concerns about his daughter Ava , seven , who has not attended school since they closed on 20 March .
`` It 's daunting for Ava to go back to school in September .
She has n't seen her new teacher , '' he said .
`` My partner and I are both working from home and ca n't give Ava the one-to-one support and stimulation she gets from school .
`` It 's going to be hard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they 've lost .
The children will be at different stages depending on how much home-schooling they 've done .
It is going to be difficult to bring them back to a similar level . ''
In addition , many Leicester children have missed out on the city 's traditional `` holiday week '' which takes place in mid-July when the schools close earlier than in many other areas across England .
`` We wo n't be able to go on holiday , '' said Mr Briggs .
`` It ca n't be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ here , while the rest of England can go to the seaside .
Many teachers in the city share parents ' concerns .
Inderjit Sandhu is the executive head of the Scholars Academy Trust which runs Launde Primary School in Oadby , a town which borders Leicester and is included in the city 's lockdown , imposed on 2 July .
She said that for the brief spell Year Six children were back , they were `` very quiet '' .
`` They were reluctant to talk , '' she said .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ especially after a break from school , but they were n't talking .
`` Maybe it was because there were half the number of children in school and the changes . ''
She said the disruption to schooling and the cancellation of many families ' summer holidays was going to `` impact on the children '' .
`` When they return after the summer we will have a recovery curriculum for the first few weeks focusing on their wellbeing and building it into their learning , '' she said .

The surge in home baking during lockdown was apparent to anyone who went to a supermarket , where flour was often hard to find .
But what of the other , more unusual hobbies , people took up when confined to their homes ?
Robert Marchant , a professor of tropical ecology at the University of York , and his vegetarian daughter Chloe decided to try their hand at making halloumi cheese when she ended up living back at home .
During the pandemic , Prof Marchant has continued his job leading research into environmental and social change in East @ @ @ @ @ @ @ art of cheesemaking to replenish the `` halloumi mountain '' which was being consumed in his house .
He said : `` A rainy weekend combined with a great source of full-fat milk from a local farm that sells direct from an on-farm vending machine got me and my youngest daughter , Chloe , making halloumi .
He said their cheese went `` from cow to griddle pan in less than 24 hours '' and was `` a surprising success and very tasty - and much softer than the shop-bought stuff '' .

Mr Butler , a PhD student at the University of Southampton , should have been leading an expedition to survey amphibians in the Malaysian Peninsula but instead found himself in lockdown at his parents ' home in Oxfordshire .
He said : `` I thought I 'd learn a new skill .
I 'll admit , I did n't think that taxidermy would be that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a box of dead moles you do n't turn it down . ''
Mr Butler , who rarely eats meat and has only ever dissected animals at school , learned the process by following online tutorials .
`` It really was n't quite as gruesome as you 'd expect , '' he said .
`` The great thing about trying to taxidermy a mole is that no-one really knows what a mole looks like so they ca n't judge how rubbish your attempt is .

He said : `` I play the guitar and I did play the bass in a pub band many years back so I do have an understanding of music which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ April I had never ever held a trumpet in my hands before . ''
After learning the basics , he tried out his new skills in the wider world , quickly gaining a loyal following of cows .

`` I have always wanted to learn how to make a net , carve a spoon and make simple fishing hooks and lockdown has given me the time to learn those new things . ''

bbcuk--2020-07-12--Brexit: £705m plan for British border posts and staff

A £705m funding package to help manage Britain 's borders has been announced as the UK prepares to leave the EU customs union at the end of the year .
Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove said the move would help the UK `` seize the opportunities '' post-Brexit .
Labour has accused the government of complacency in its preparations for the end of the Brexit transition period .
The funding follows a leaked letter from International Trade Secretary Liz Truss raising concerns about the readiness of Britain 's ports .
Under the plans , new border posts will be created @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to expand to cope with the extra checks that will be required .
It relates only to the external borders of England , Scotland and Wales .
Mr Gove told BBC 's Andrew Marr programme that more details will be set out about the situation for Northern Ireland `` later this month '' .
• What are the sticking points in the trade talks ?
The new funding will include up to £470m to build port and inland infrastructure , and £235m will be allocated for IT systems and staffing .
The money @ @ @ @ @ @ @ £100m to develop HM Revenue and Customs systems to reduce the burden on traders • £15m towards building new data infrastructure to improve border flow and management • £10m to recruit around 500 more Border Force staff .
The UK left the EU on 31 January and is now in an 11-month transition period , during which existing trading rules and membership of the customs union and single market apply .
What the UK 's relationship with the EU will look like when the transition period ends will depend on whether a trade @ @ @ @ @ @ @ continue to follow some EU rules on agricultural and manufactured goods even after the transition period .
Customs checks on EU goods will be delayed until July 2021 .
It comes after a leaked letter , first reported by Business Insider , suggested Ms Truss had expressed concerns about the government 's plans to phase in checks on EU goods coming into the UK after the Brexit transition period .
Ms Truss reportedly warned fellow ministers that failing to impose full border controls until July could see increased smuggling from the EU , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trade Organization , and even weaken the union with Northern Ireland .
• Post-Brexit checks on EU imports to be phased in • What is the transition period ?
The UK government has ruled out extending the transition period in order to reach a deal .
Mr Gove said : `` With or without further agreement with the EU , this £705m will ensure that the necessary infrastructure , tech and border personnel are in place so that our traders and the border industry are able to manage the changes and seize the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the world 's most effective and secure border . ''
Former national security adviser Lord Ricketts responded on Twitter to Mr Gove 's comments .
`` It 's not clear to me how we will have 'the world 's most effective and secure border ' ( Mr Gove ) when we will lose access on 1 Jan to the Schengen Information System which gives alerts on movement of criminals/suspects , '' he said .
He added that UK police and border staff consulted the shared Schengen system 600 million times last year .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ land in Kent to build a large lorry park as part of preparations for post-Brexit border checks , Mr Gove said : `` It is not our intention to create a massive concrete lorry park , it is the intention to provide the smart infrastructure which in Kent and elsewhere will allow the freight to flow . ''
Labour shadow minister Rachel Reeves said the measures were `` too little , too late '' and accused the government of being unprepared .
`` We were promised an oven-ready deal but it looks like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on , '' she said , referring to the Conservative Party 's election slogan .
The new Irish Taoiseach , Micheál Martin , told the BBC 's Andrew Marr that his country does not yet have all the information it needs about the Irish sea border arrangements .
`` We do need more details , we need more precision , '' he said .
`` I think we need an injection of momentum into the overall talks between the European Union and United Kingdom in relation to Brexit . ''
He said although @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been slow , he added : `` I believe that if there 's a will there 's a way in terms of resolving outstanding issues . ''
`` I think there will be a deal , there has to be a deal , '' he said , but added : It ca n't be at any price . ''
Mr Gove said there had been `` movement '' in the negotiations but acknowledged that `` differences '' remained .
Both sides agreed to `` intensify '' negotiations last month and held the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the beginning of July .
Writing in the Sunday Telegraph , Mr Gove also said the government will introduce a migration policy `` that ensures we 're open to the world 's best talent '' .
The government is planning a points-based immigration system which treats EU migrants the same as those from the rest of the world and which takes different factors like skills and language into account when awarding visas allowing people to work in the UK .
Mr Gove said : `` And the new technology we 're introducing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ greater precision exactly who , and what , is coming in and out of the country , enabling us to deal more effectively with organised crime and other security threats . ''
More details about changes to the immigration system will be revealed on Monday .
Writing in the Sun on Sunday , Home Secretary Priti Patel said : `` We will scrap the bureaucratic Resident Labour Market Test , lower the skills and salary threshold and remove the cap on skilled workers . ''
The so-called `` resident labour market test '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from outside the EU if they are on the shortage list or if they have been unable to find anyone suitable after advertising in the UK .
`` Our new Health and Care Visa will ensure the NHS continues to benefit from the outstanding health and care professionals who have kept this country on its feet throughout the pandemic , '' Ms Patel added .
And she said `` a new graduate route will ensure international students can stay in the country once they have completed their studies '' .

Mr Gove said: "With or without further agreement with the EU, this £705m will ensure that the necessary infrastructure, tech and border personnel are in place so that our traders and the border industry are able to manage the changes and seize the opportunities as we lay the foundations for the world's most effective and secure border."


bbcuk--2020-07-12--Coronavirus: 'Risk, not politics' will decide border restrictions

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said any move to place restrictions on visitors from England to Scotland would be based on risk , not politics .
Speaking on The Andrew Marr Show , she said quarantine for visitors from elsewhere in the UK could not be ruled out .

Ms Sturgeon told Andrew Marr : `` One of our biggest risks over the next few weeks , as we have driven levels of the virus to very low levels in Scotland , is the risk of importation into the country .

`` And - this is not a position I relish being in - it also means that we have to take a very close look at making sure that we are not seeing the virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ UK . ''
The first minister pointed out that in countries such as Australia and the United States , controls have been put in place to limit movement across state or regional boundaries .
The Scottish government would look at similar measures on a public health basis .
Ms Sturgeon said : `` That 's not political .
It 's not constitutional .
It 's just taking a similar view to countries across the world in terms of protecting the population from the risk of the virus . ''
`` This is not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are not welcome in Scotland - of course people in England are welcome in Scotland , '' she added .
The topic of quarantine for visitors from England entering Scotland was raised at Prime Minister 's Questions , with Mr Johnson describing the idea as `` astonishing and shameful '' .
He added : `` There have been no such discussions with the Scottish administration about that , but I would point out that there is no such thing as a border between England and Scotland . ''

What are the latest rules for face coverings and masks? Published 16 March 2022
Image source, Reuters
Rules around face coverings are easing across the UK, but they are still required in some settings.
Heathrow Airport and a number of airlines are relaxing their rules on masks.
But Nicola Sturgeon has said face coverings must still be worn in Scotland after all other legal requirements are lifted on 21 March.
What is the situation in Scotland?
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed that Scotland's rules on face coverings will remain in place until April, due to a rise in Covid cases.
All other restrictions on businesses and services will move from legal requirement to guidance on 21 March.
The rules on masks will be reviewed again on 29 March, and are expected to be converted to guidance by 4 April.
At the moment, masks must be worn in most indoor public spaces including public transport, shops and gyms (although they can be temporarily removed when exercising).
They are mandatory in pubs and restaurants when not seated or dancing, as well as in the workplace in communal areas and canteens.
They no longer have to be worn by secondary school students in the classroom - but are still required in "indoor communal areas" like corridors.
Under-12s are exempt.
What is the situation in England?
Masks are no longer legally required in most public spaces - although they are still recommended in some situations:
What is the situation in Wales?
Face coverings are no longer required in classrooms and some venues such as museums and cinemas.
However, they will still need to be worn in shops, salons, hairdressers, health and social care settings and on public transport.
The Welsh government has said it intends to lift all remaining Covid regulations by the end of March.
What is the situation in Northern Ireland?
Mask-wearing is no longer legally enforced in Northern Ireland.
However, face coverings are still recommended in certain places, such as enclosed public spaces and health and social care settings.
How much can I be fined for not wearing a mask?
In Wales, the penalty for a first offence is £60, with the fine doubling for each subsequent offence - up to a maximum of £1,920. Repeat offenders can also be prosecuted in court where fines are unlimited.
In Scotland, the police can issue a penalty notice of up to £60 for breaking the law on mask-wearing.
Why use a face covering?
Evidence suggests transmission mainly happens indoors, where people are close together.
Covering the nose and mouth reduces the spread of coronavirus droplets from coughs, sneezes and while speaking.
The main purpose is to protect others, although there is some evidence they offer protection to wearers.
What sort of face covering is best?
It should:
have a nose wire
have at least two or three layers of material
fit snugly over mouth, nose and chin

• Why the UK risks angering China over HK ’ s special passport • What is behind the Hong Kong citizenship @ @ @ @ @ @ @ affected by the protests , even though the family did not take part because the couple work at a Chinese bank , where an employee was fired for protesting .
`` She has been very angry and upset .
She kept asking why the authorities could treat us like that ? ''
Serena said , adding that their daughter had told them she wanted to study abroad .
The controversial national security law , which took effect last week , was the last straw .
`` The articles of the national security law @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Serena said she did not believe Beijing 's claims that the claim that law would only target `` a tiny number of people '' .
The UK now wants to offer BNO passport holders citizenship rights after six years of stay , arguing that China has breached the Sino-British Joint Declaration by enacting the national security law , which violates the city 's high degree of autonomy and infringes the civil liberties of Hong Kong residents .
Michael and Serena 's original plan was to only send their daughter to study abroad , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a family has become their first choice .
Last November , they renewed their long-expired BNO passports , thinking that it could become useful - a hedge against an uncertain future .
`` I thought the UK would only offer citizenship to BNO passport holders as a last resort .
I did n't think it would happen so soon , but all of a sudden great changes are happening , '' Michael said .
In the week since China announced the new security law , the story of Michael and Serena has become @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about 350,000 BNO passport holders in Hong Kong , and the UK government estimates that there are about 2.9 million BNOs in total .
Hong Kong residents born after the 1997 handover are not eligible for the BNO passport - and those who did not apply for one before the handover are not allowed to do so now .
Helen was born in 1997 before the handover , but her parents did not apply for a BNO passport for her because she was a baby .
`` I am not sure if I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my right .
Compared to the UK , I like Hong Kong more .
But I should have had a BNO passport , '' she said , admitting that she blamed her parents a little for not applying for one for her back then .
It is difficult to gauge the number of Hong Kong residents who will take up the UK 's offer at this moment - but interest is running high , especially after the UK 's announcement on July 1 .
On that day , Mr Raab told the House @ @ @ @ @ @ @ look the other way on Hong Kong , and we will not duck our historic responsibilities to its people . ''
Ben Yu , who works for an immigration consultancy in the UK , said : `` My Hong Kong-based colleague receives 30 to 40 messages on Facebook every day .
His WhatsApp has received hundreds of messages asking about moving to the UK by all routes , including BNOs and other visas .
The messages come in 24/7 non-stop since then . ''
The number of BNO renewals appears to be driven @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In 2018 , about 170,000 BNO passports were in circulation .
The next year , the number jumped to more than 310,000 .
During the colonial days , Hong Kong was always described as a borrowed place on borrowed time - and it is no stranger to waves of emigration .
Between 1984 and 1997 , between about 20,000 and 66,000 people left the city every year .
The imminent wave of emigration will also likely look different to those in the past .
`` A lot of them returned to Hong Kong @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when they had seized their safety outlets when they had got their foreign passports , when they saw that the political nightmare had not occurred as predicted , '' said Professor Ming Sing , who teaches politics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology .
`` For the current wave , should it happen , I guess we will see a higher proportion of them is going to be a one-way ticket , '' he said .
`` A lot of them see that the legislation of the national security law @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is not only draconian in nature , but it also reflects Beijing reneging on its promise .
Not only its failure to protect Hong Kong 's freedoms under the Joint Declaration and under the Basic Law , '' he said , adding that he thinks more young people , many of them are protesters , will exit Hong Kong .
What comes next ?
In the city of 7.5 million , about 800,000 people have British , Australian , Canadian , or American passports - including expats .
Beijing has expressed anger over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to BNO passport holders in Hong Kong .
China 's Ambassador to the UK Liu Xiaoming said on Monday the move constitutes `` gross interference in China 's internal affairs '' '' No one should underestimate the firm determination of China to safeguard its sovereignty , security and development interests , '' he said .
The Chinese Embassy also said in a statement all `` Chinese compatriots residing in Hong Kong are Chinese nationals '' .
In an earlier interview with ITV , Mr Raab said there is little the UK could do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ residents to come to the UK .
`` It is hard to predict what consequences Beijing has in mind .
Probably more diplomatic ones in the form of a counter-measure , which does not necessarily need to be in the same form but should not be disproportionate , '' said Simon Young , a legal scholar at the University of Hong Kong .
Benedict Rogers , co-founder and chair of advocacy group Hong Kong Watch , described the BNO offer as `` generous , courageous and welcome '' .
But the rescue element @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rogers said .
`` We should be working to ensure the conditions are met whereby HongKongers can continue their way of life , with the freedoms they were promised , without having to flee their homes .
But the reality is that now , for some , it is already too late and they will need a place of sanctuary . ''
Michael and Serena are making preparations for a new life in the UK , but they did not succeed at convincing their older son , who is turning 18 soon , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ live with his grandparents after the rest of the family has moved .
`` My son says he does n't want to leave Hong Kong , because he thinks Hong Kong belongs to him , '' Serena said .
Some names have been changed .

The imminent wave of emigration will also likely look different to those in the past. "A lot of them returned to Hong Kong either before 1997 or after 1997, when they had seized their safety outlets when they had got their foreign passports, when they saw that the political nightmare had not occurred as predicted," said Professor Ming Sing, who teaches politics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. "For the current wave, should it happen, I guess we will see a higher proportion of them is going to be a one-way ticket," he said.


bbcuk--2020-07-11--James Bay on the 'fantastic drama' of fame

The road to success might be paved with failure , but try telling that to James Bay .
In 2015 , he enjoyed an almost frictionless ascent to stardom after being discovered at an open mic night in London and signing a record deal off the back of a YouTube video .
Blessed with a bluesy voice and chiselled good looks ( softened by an omnipresent fedora ) he was thrust into the spotlight by the Brits Critics ' Choice award and quickly racked up millions of sales for his folksy , romantic singles Let It Go and Hold Back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Calm entered the charts at number one and earned the Hitchin-born singer Grammy nominations for best new artist , best rock album and best rock song .
`` The first album experience was insane , '' he says .
`` But it heaped all sorts of expectation on the next thing I released . ''
The `` next thing '' was a change of direction .
For his second album , Electric Light , Bay ditched the earnest ballads in favour of sticky R & B grooves ( Wild Love ) and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The transformation was physical as well as musical .
The singer chopped off his long locks and stored the hat in its box .
In press photos , he smouldered , and fans started describing him as a sex god .
`` Fantastic , I 'll take that , '' he told the BBC at the time .
`` I 'll take that all day long . ''
But that did n't translate to sales - Electric Light sold one tenth of the total of Chaos And The Calm in the UK @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chart .
Looking back , the star is philosophical .
The life of a musician is a rollercoaster , he says .
`` And what do we know about a rollercoaster ?
It 's very exciting , but sometimes it makes you want to vomit . ''
Besides , he reasons , there are thousands of artists who would kill for the kind of reception his second album had .
It was only by comparison to his debut that it suffered .
`` It 's like saying , ' I want to win @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that year , you only win the Premier League .
You still won the Premier League , mate , you know ?
`` So if I fell mentally into that kind of place at any point on the second record - which now and again I did - I was still able to walk out on stage every night and play to my fans .
And if not the whole room , the first 10 rows had all the words to the new album down .
`` So , yes , it 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But at the end of the day , what a pleasure to get to do it . ''
Dusting himself off , Bay released a palate-cleanser EP last year , which saw him collaborate with Julia Michaels on the sexually-charged strumfest Peer Pressure , and the lachrymose ballad Bad .
It kicked off an enjoyable 12 months , where he got to write with Brandon Flowers of The Killers and play packed-out stadiums as the main support act on Ed Sheeran 's Divide Tour .
He ca n't suppress a smile as he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ River at the top of their voices in Portugal 's Benfica Stadium .
`` I got a hot flush of guilt when I saw a few signs that said , 'James , I 'm here for you , ' '' he grins .
`` But I 'm sure Ed can cope .
He 'll be alright . ''
Writing with `` young legend '' Flowers was another life-changing experience - although he 's yet to find out whether their collaboration has made the final tracklist of the new Killers album .
`` I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ended up going into the song , '' he recalls .
`` And he was like , 'Man that melody : It 's like the Beatles or something ' .
`` That 's when my little brain just went pop . ''
All of those experiences fed into Bay 's third album , recorded in Nashville at the start of this year , shortly before lockdown .
The singer describes it as the `` most positive record I 've written '' , inspired by his long-term girlfriend Lucy Smith , who he 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since they were teenagers doing their GCSEs in Hertfordshire .
`` Our relationship is the most important thing in my life , '' says Bay .
`` To have such a rock solid foundation at home , you know , it deserves a bit of credit and attention .
So in a way , a lot of this music is a tribute to her . ''
Although Smith inspired many of Bay 's earlier songs , he 'd never written explicitly about their relationship before , out of respect for her privacy .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ or the public side of things , my girlfriend did n't , '' he says .
`` And I 'm not going to , therefore , drag all sorts of detail into this public space .
But I want to honour our relationship . ''
The first single , Chew On My Heart , arrived on Friday with a chorus the size of a jumbo jet and one of the year 's more unconventional lyrics .
`` What would it feel like if you tore me apart ? ''
sings Bay , drenched @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chew on my heart . ''
It 's supposed to convey impatience , he says - that feeling of loving someone so much you want `` more and more and more '' of them : `` Kind of like , 'Let 's like hold each other tight and then hold each other tighter ' . ''
The phrase came to him out of nowhere as he absent-mindedly strummed chords at home last year .
`` I wrote it down , looked at it and went , 'Whatever we do , we 're writing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ na let a phrase like 'chew on my heart'slip through my fingers , '' he laughs .
`` I want that on an album sleeve ! ''
And did the song meet his girlfriend 's approval ?
`` This is such a rare thing , but she bloody loved it , '' he says .
`` And she 's usually the one who 's going , 'Oh , you 're still sticking with that melody , are you ? '
`` So you can imagine it means so much more to me when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ! '
'' Another track was written after Bay and Smith stumbled across their dream house earlier this year - which then fell through at the 11th hour .
The song also finds Bay singing `` Will you marry me ? ''
but he artfully sidesteps the question of whether that 's a literal proposal .
`` It was a really lovely song to write , '' he says diplomatically .
`` And like I say , it very much is a tribute . ''
The couple have spent the lockdown in their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , where Bay has been giving guitar lessons on Instagram and trying to avoid London 's parks - although not for health reasons .
`` It 's been hard to navigate all the green spaces , given how much like a festival they 've seemed , '' he says .
`` I 've got pangs to want to go and play festivals .
It 's that time of year and I 'd love to be doing all of that . ''
He 'll have to hold fire until next year when , judging @ @ @ @ @ @ @ material , he might find some of his wayward fans have returned ... a bit like his hair .
`` What I love now that I 'm back here , '' he says , indicating his shoulder-length locks , `` is all the comments that say , 'Get me the short hair back ! '
`` But around the time I stopped wearing the hat , there was a significant number of people making noise about how a 'record label had convinced me ' to cut all my hair off .
`` And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fantastic drama in this crazy industry .
But it just made me laugh to see all these people suddenly going , 'Where 's the short hair ?
I loved that haircut ! '

bbcuk--2020-07-12--My Money: 'Instead of the holiday buffet, it's egg and toast at home'

My Money is a series looking at how people spend their money - and the sometimes tough decisions they have to make .
Here Priya Aiyer from Canterbury in Kent takes us through a week in her life during the coronavirus pandemic .
Priya is 29 and works full-time as an architect for a global construction company .
When she 's not designing buildings , her interests include drawing cartoon illustrations and enjoying a good exercise session to train towards becoming a fitness instructor .
She is also active in campaigning for racial equality and diversity .
She lives with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ She and Ben would have been on holiday in Madeira this week , but it was cancelled due to the pandemic .
I would have preferred to spend this week on holiday with Ben .
Alas , Madeira was cancelled so have decided to have the week off anyway to refresh .
We did luckily receive a full refund from the travel company a week before we were due to fly out , without any problems .
Instead of an all-inclusive breakfast buffet which would have been on offer , I had to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a boiled egg and a mug of tea .
To wake my bank balance up , a direct debit went out for my share of our rent ( £475 ) .
To wake my body up , I booked an ad hoc morning session at 11:00 with my personal trainer ( £15 ) .
I have a virtual practical assessment in six weeks ' time to become a Bodycombat instructor myself , so have planned my workouts and meals for the next month .
Just before lunch at 12:30 , I placed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the week in our online grocery shopping order ( £15.40 ) .
I spent the afternoon going through some theory reading for my instructor course , followed by a bout of the Animal Crossing game on Nintendo Switch .
I `` met up '' with my brother on there and we usually explore our `` islands '' and buy/sell fruit , clothes and other items .
Needless to say , the spending on the game will not be included in this diary !
We caught up for an hour together from 17:00 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a film with Ben and his mum .
I woke up around 8:00 again , which is n't a surprise given that my body has hit a regular rhythm .
After finishing breakfast , I was pleased to see that it was pay day !
Not that I was worried as I managed to put aside a good £700 last month towards savings , thanks to less eating out and splashing on any gadgets/electronics , which is a guilty habit of mine from time to time .
I did , however , use @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new clothes ( mostly trousers ) , renew our home/contents insurance and on other supermarket shops , so I managed to pay this bill off ( £299.65 ) , and am keeping track of the remainder of my bills that will go out tomorrow .
I have no idea why I woke up at 5:00 today , but forced a couple more hours ' sleep before getting up at 8:15 and cooking scrambled eggs on toast .
According to transactions that went out , my share of the gas/electricity bill ( £29.93 ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ both paid today .
In addition , my monthly car finance payment went out ( £128.39 ) , but I have no regrets having my first car as it 's been getting me from A to B on many occasions when I needed it .
Right now , it 's not been on the road much , but saves an average of £30 or so a month on petrol !
At 10:00 , I dialled into a weekly call with my Slimming World group ( £2 ) , to connect with other people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ healthier lifestyles .
I have lost a stone so far since the start of lockdown , and have still got another six pounds before I get to my target weight .
It 's great to have a group who can hold each other accountable , while motivating each other .
At 11:00 , I started doing chores , such as ironing clothes .
I ate lunch at 13:00 , then spent the afternoon and early evening working on a new digital cartoon illustration artwork as part of a `` lockdown '' series .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ activities that people have been up to during the Covid-19 period .
I will sell them as prints and use the proceeds to go to charity .
After finishing dinner at 20:00 , Ben , his mother and I played a German dice game called Kniffel , which we have been playing most evenings before going to bed .
It does get competitive , even though a lot of the time , it 's down to luck !
I slept in a bit until around 9:00 , before opting for some cereal for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to complete some architectural work for a friend .
Yes , I know , I should not have been working , but this was more of a freelance job and meant some extra earnings to go towards savings .
The very last bill went out for our Spotify Family account ( £14.99 ) , which has been justified for a long time , given that Ben and I listen to our respective music playlists on a daily basis .
I wrapped up what I needed to finish by lunch at 13:00 , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ourselves to our weekly Thursday lasagne .
At 14:00 , I decided to go for a walk into town and visited the one shop which sells specific South Asian ingredients .
I had been craving for a very long time a dish called dosa , which is essentially a lentil and rice pancake , originating from South India , where my family are from .
Making the batter for dosa is a lengthy process which involves soaking lentils , rice and fenugreek , grinding it , then leaving it to ferment before cooking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for in this shop ( £12.87 ) , including some vegetables that my Ben 's mum requested .
As soon as I got home at 15:00 , I began the soaking process for the dosa batter .
Today would have been when Ben and I would have returned from our now-cancelled holiday .
I failed miserably in terms of not thinking about work , as I still had to wake up at 7:45 , have a quick cereal breakfast , and jump on a call at 8:30 to meet my company 's events @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who agreed to participate in the virtual event I am helping to organise with another colleague for the following week .
It was a highly positive call and I felt so much more relaxed that the event will go smoothly .
Ben 's mother invited guests round for lunch in our garden ( keeping social distancing , mind ! )
at around 12:00 , and it was a delightful occasion with lots of chatter until around 15:00 when they left .
I immediately left to head into town to meet a friend , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where parking was relatively decent for the amount of time I was intending to stay ( £3.50 ) .
My friend and I got to sit in one of the parks by the river in Canterbury and the weather was certainly kind to us .
We later went for a walk along the main High Street .
I do use Hotel Chocolat 's velvetiser machine , which is essentially a hot chocolate machine , at home during the working week as an occasional treat , and I was starting to run out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Hotel Chocolat store where I bought a box of a new flavour I had n't tried yet : raspberry and white chocolate ( £12 ) .
More blogs from the BBC 's My Money Series : • UK : 'This was not a normal week - our spending doubled ! '
• Canada : 'With love on my side , I can get through today' The weather was up and down during the day , which did n't make it an entirely exciting agenda ahead .
I woke up at 8:15 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 9:00 , Ben 's mother and I took part in a virtual pilates class .
Even with some relatively sore muscles afterwards , we spent the rest of the morning clearing out the garage of any items which could be either given to charity , sold online or thrown away into a skip .
We ate lunch at 13:00 , and I decided to spend most of the afternoon having a nap from about 15:00 until 19:00 .
I recharged by getting into a quick strength-based workout in the evening and playing another @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bed .
A relatively lazy but spend-free day !
I can categorically say that during this week off , this was genuinely the best and most relaxing day of the entire week .
A shame it is just before going back to work , but still got to at least feel like the day was well spent .
I woke up at 9:30 , finished breakfast at around 10:30 , then spent the morning sitting outside in the garden , completing more of my digital illustration .
I had seen an email the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ road from us being open for the weekend only to test the waters to see how their revenue goes , before opening up more regularly as coronavirus lockdown restrictions are eased .
Ben , his mother and I figured that it was worth seeing how things were going , so we headed down there at 12:30 as soon as it opened and split the cost of some drinks between us ( £5.60 ) .
The pub had a one-way system , we got to order from the table itself using a phone app @ @ @ @ @ @ @ garden where the sun was shining .
A great way to spend Sunday , before we headed back to the house for lunch at 13:30 .
From 15:00 until 17:00 , I played online board games with my brother and one of our mutual friends .
It is something we choose to do on a weekly basis , also given that my brother is a huge fan of board games in general .
I proceeded to do a dance aerobic exercise at 19:00 , before having dinner and ending the week with a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does Priya feel about her week ?
It happens to be one of those weeks where it is the end of the month , so there is income but also natural outgoings .
I feel generally , I am not spending on shopping or eating/drinking out as much as I used to , but the coronavirus lockdown has forced me to plan for the more important , justifiable things that I can save towards , including in the long run .
The small `` treats '' could add up , but I will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going forward .
It has been an interesting process to look at my week , not only in terms of spending but the simple things in daily life which make each day purposeful , especially with people I appreciate very much .

About 200 farm workers are isolating after 73 people tested positive for Covid-19 .
The cases have been found among the workforce of vegetable producers AS Green and Co , based in Mathon in Herefordshire .
Workers are being asked to remain on the farm during a period of isolation , while Herefordshire Council arranges food and essential supplies .
The firm is also being supported by Public Health England ( PHE ) .
It said its staff were its `` priority '' .
The workers , who carry out picking and packing work during the harvesting season , live @ @ @ @ @ @ @ near Malvern , in Worcestershire .
As a precaution , the council said , they were being treated as `` one extended bubble '' and were staying within household groups on the farm .
Katie Spence , PHE Midlands health protection director , said the company had implemented a range of infection control measures , including : on-site testing , social distancing in communal areas and the indoor packaging area , encouraging regular hand washing and promoting the use of face coverings in closed areas .
`` Despite these measures , a small @ @ @ @ @ @ @ week and they and a few close contacts among the workforce were tested initially and found to be positive , '' she said .
Karen Wright , Director of Public Health for Herefordshire , said : `` Prompt testing on the farm has allowed us to understand transmission and control the spread of infection .
`` We continue to support the farm management , their workers - who form an important part of our local economy , and the local community through this challenging time . ''
A spokesperson for AS Green added @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , they are hard-working key workers helping us provide food for the country during these unusual times . ''
