00:00You know, the only areas that would put me off are, like, war zones and stuff like that.

00:07Political unrest and stuff like that. But, you know, for the likes of Spain,

00:11a few people protesting, you're going to get that wherever you go in the world.

00:14When I go on holiday, you've always been respectful of the people and the culture.

00:19Now, clearly, we don't send our best and brightest over to Spain.

00:23I speak a fair amount of Spanish. I've had Spanish housemates.

00:26I used to go to Spain quite a lot. And we do only send our worst people over there.

00:30So I saw, if it's come to a breaking point, then I'm with the people on this.

00:34I'm sick of British people.

00:36I think for me, at least, personally, it would be a little bit of a put off,

00:39because you don't want to go somewhere and then streets are chock-a-block with everyone

00:42kind of arguing and things against what you're there for.

00:45Because I know they've been similar tourist tax in Pembrokeshire,

00:48kind of going the same sort of thing, I suppose.

00:50But it would be a bit of a put off for me, personally.

00:53I wouldn't want to go somewhere where there's all kind of riots and everything going on.

00:57Because if you go somewhere, you want to go there to relax, I suppose.

01:00I think it's a great place to go somewhere.

01:03But, I don't know.

01:05I think you have to go somewhere somewhere here.

01:06So, I'll be in the house with the plough,

01:07so I shall have a little bit of that.

01:10You know, I can't go somewhere, where I'm with the plough.

01:12I know it's a lovely thing.

01:14I mean, it's a lovely place to go somewhere.

01:16I can't go somewhere, but it's a lovely place to go to the place.

01:21So, I don't want to go somewhere.

01:23I've said, we're having a wonderful place to go.
