What's your opinion about them and how do they meet investors or don't meet investors' expectations?

Yeah, and I think it's interesting, and I'll just maybe add one point at the start, is there is a bit of discussion going on.

Now, there's still a lot of debate to go through that, and we'll come back to that, but Anyway, in terms of my view on it, look, I've sat in meetings with execs, with boards and debated whether AGMs should be downsized or adjusted, mainly given some of the lower tendencies, particularly for sort of smaller or medium-sized companies versus the time committed and then obviously the money spent on venues and travel and all sorts.

Now, at the same time, I remember actually one of the bigger companies I worked for, worked for Centrica, British Gas.

You might remember the old SID shareholders from the 1980s.

I was one of them.

What's your views on that? What goes into putting a report together?
