00:00I mean over the years we've done a number of tax parity days and I think
00:06the key thing from our company is just to raise a little bit more awareness
00:10between for our customers and for local officials and maybe even national
00:16officials as well.
00:18How important are pubs and restaurants to the national economy and the local one in Sheffield particularly with the turnout today how
00:24important are pubs to the lives of people as well as the economic factors
00:28that pubs and restaurants play as a whole?
00:30I believe that pubs play a role in society to allow people to come out and
00:39just have conversation and not feel so lonely at times. Apart from that we're
00:46drawing people into the city centre to spend their hard-earned money and so
00:54grow the wider economy too. I think it's very important to provide those leisure
01:00facilities for people to unwind and to go out and enjoy themselves.
