What, what pops to mind for you?
8:24
Yeah, uh, uh, because we're talking about this I'll, I'll keep it on the financial one, and then we- we- maybe we can move on to a different topic afterwards.
8:30
But with finances, one that popped into my head was one that happened a couple years ago, and I really...

I'm, I'm from England.
4:53
Some of you might be able to tell by the accent.
4:56
Uh, although I'm technically from a, a smaller region called Cornwall, which is in the southwest of England.

And I, I'm fairly proud of this because it's, you know, as, as proud as you can be as from, from, uh, you know, where you're from.
5:10
But it, it's a Celtic region, so it's a little bit like Wales or Scotland, except it's not really a separate country anymore.
5:18
Uh, but yeah, it's a Celtic region so that the culture and the language is a little bit different.
