00:04 Come and see you.
00:05 Well, very nice to finally get to see you.
00:07 Happy New Year.
00:12 Is there no people waiting in there as well?
00:14 Just one of my boss' kids.
00:17 My aunt I think gave you, is it your MBE? A few years ago?
00:22 Proud to sit in there, Kirsty, and talking about meeting you all week.
