Swings and roundabouts in Iran

Great vox pop with a Tehrani housewife on the Today programme this morning, in anticipation of the upcoming elections in Iran.

“No, I don’t like hejab, nobody likes hejab... But I enjoy climbing - my house is near a mountain.”

I think this mountain is probably Damavand. I got about a third of the way up before collapsing and stuffing my face with kebab.
