00:05 is when people say, I say have you ever been?

00:08 They say, oh no, I don't want to go.

00:14 It just means that you're just ignorant of what there is.

00:17 And when we have had people come, and you know we are actually getting people from off

00:22 the island now.

00:23 For the talks where people come from, you know, Maidstone, Medway towns, so we are getting

00:58 You know, it isn't like the wild west that they seem to think it is.
