00:00We're at MQM with Gavin Edwards, the editor of the Hartpool Mail, and Michael Sumter at MQM.
00:06A lot of Christmas presents around. It looks like you've done a great appeal this year. How do you think it's gone?
00:11I think it's gone very well in actual fact. Just as good as last year, I think, in terms of the quantity of gifts.
00:19But we've had the general public coming through the door, giving us gifts. We've had builders giving us cash to go and buy this and go buy that.
00:28It's just been a success. We think this, certainly at MQM, we certainly feel this is an important thing that I think we do each Christmas.
00:42And I think there's lots and lots of young kiddies who benefit from this appeal. It's gone really well.
00:50Gavin, your thoughts?
00:53I think it's tremendous. I think it's a busy time of year. It's an expensive time of year.
00:59And I would just like to thank everybody, whether they work for MQM, whether they're customers of MQM, whether they're readers of the Hartpool Mail,
01:07for finding the time, for making the effort and finding the money to donate all these wonderful presents.
01:13Thanks very much to everyone.
