00:00 Yeah, the community up here on a daily basis I get locals but I also get

00:06 city-born men and chatting people coming. They come in here every day to have a

00:12 chat. Sometimes they only have a cup of tea and we, they stay, they stay for a

00:19 good three hours. Most of them, they've got nobody and they've made so many

00:26 friends in here. They've been in in the last few days saying to me we probably

00:33 won't be able to come if that's going to be £1.40 an hour because we won't be

00:37 able to afford it. It is this little hub here for people to just come up, not

00:44 worry about, because they can sit outside there, we don't mind sitting outside

00:49 there without a cup of tea but they won't be able to do it because it would cost them too

00:53 much. Imagine if they want to stay three hours and have a little chat. They can't

00:57 but £1.40 per hour. All our customers in here as well as the dog walkers, they've

01:04 seen my sign outside, they're all in agreement. People are being robbed.
