And I think that one of the most beautiful stories I love about whenever I go to Kingswood in sort of East Bristol, I think of this, is, um, the story of, in fact, we've got it written in the loo, in the, in the gents' loo.

Um, and there's a, there's a, there's a man there, I forget what his name is.

He is a coal miner, um, uh, in Kingswood.

Wesley, Wesley goes through Kingswood the first time, and it's just a, a place of just real violence and drunkenness and, like, prostitution.

It's, it's a horrible place to be.
