00:07Can you just explain what's going on and what you've been doing?
00:09So, we like Christmas quite a lot here.
00:11We spend a lot of time on our decorations,
00:13and this year we're doing some charity work with the Blessed to Bless charity.
00:17Yeah.
00:18So we're raising money for the food bank in Warsaw.
00:21Right.
00:22It looks fantastic, I've got to say.
00:25So how long did it take you to put all this up?
00:27So it's a whole day.
00:28All the staff come in.
00:29It's a family event that we separate,
00:31and we do all the decorations on a Sunday.
00:33Yeah.
00:34Brilliant.
00:35And what kind of comments have you had from them?
