00:00So, I'm not Birmingham local, as you might remember.
00:04If we're talking in regards to my hometown,
00:06I don't know if I would necessarily go out to a fish and chip shop
00:11just to save them.
00:13And I do completely appreciate how horrible that is,
00:16especially as small business owners.
00:18But in the flip side, you've also got to understand
00:20that with everyone jacking up prices constantly,
00:23it's becoming so disconnected from what people actually can afford.
00:27And then, of course, you create this segregation of people
00:29who've got the money and can go out and afford it
00:31to people who can't.
00:33Well, I go on a lot of seaside holidays,
00:35and it is defo more expensive than down the road or what it used to be,
00:40but I don't really like it that much.
00:43So, I wouldn't spend more just to keep them open,
00:47because you could just get it from Tainsbury's.
00:51I think it's because there's so many more takeaways.
00:54Yeah, there's more options.
00:56People maybe don't want to get it as much.
