parcel that I
9:01
ordered for my niece's birthday. And you
9:03
know, I was worried it wasn't going to
9:04
come in time and and they're very nice
9:06
customers. They always, do you want a
9:08
drink or do you want a cup of tea?
9:10
Things like that. So yeah, the best
9:12
thing is the customers, I'd have to say.
9:14
Yeah.
9:14
>> Oh, that's lovely.
9:15
>> It's mainly you. They probably won't do
9:17

9:45
the academic world. So, lots of
9:46
academics that are kind of very focused
9:48
on their agenda or their piece of work
9:50
and yeah, it's sometimes a struggle to
9:53
cut through some of that
9:55
>> and and actually make some progress
9:56
>> cuz you're shaking things up a little
9:58
bit, I guess. And that's
10:00
>> people don't like change.
10:01

10:02
things in place. Yeah. We're trying to

10:05
>> you could do things a bit differently
10:06
here.
10:07
>> Wow. How interesting.
