01:04 quite a change. Presumably quite a good local school.
01:11 Very good. Very good.
01:18 I was on my own. Very nice.
01:26 I'm mixing with the older residents.
01:34 I'm back in a couple of months. I'm giving it my new life.
01:41 I was just going to, wanted to reflect on what a way to celebrate a centenary. But
02:00 to bear in mind that just over a hundred years ago, your predecessors came up with a remarkably
02:05 good model. Quite often people reinvent that particular wheel. What you've done is make
02:12 this model work better and better. Arguably it's a little sad that it is as unique as
02:21 it appears to be and that this model doesn't happen elsewhere. But what you've done here
02:28 is to make sure that that initial investment of understanding and need has been fully worked
02:35 up for a relevant model that exists today. And can I just thank you and congratulate
02:43 you all for being involved here to make it, at the moment still unique, but hopefully
02:51 maybe not in the future. And that you will continue to maintain its relevance and to
02:58 build on what your predecessors started here. So thank you.
03:05 [applause]
03:12 [cheers]
