Safe.

Exactly.

Seemed the safest.

I appreciate someone was firing a gun at me last night, so finance may have been the wrong choice after all.

[laughs] Um, I did a graduate scheme at Harcourt, which was just, uh, like a trading arm of a kind of conglomerate of banks.

Then they offered a role at the end of it.

I was genuinely gonna take it, but then I was kind of advised by my parents to not just take the first thing that came my way.

Who?

Oh, yeah, that is lonely.

Exactly.

So I was kind of having this chat with myself the other day whilst I was, like, feeling lonely or, or down about it, I don't know, and I just said to myself, "Hayley, you haven't given Birmingham a chance at all.

You haven't joined a club, a gym.

You haven't gone on a date."

Ah! God sake.

Neville has been weird.

No, not weird, that's, that's harsh.
