But in those early days where it wasn't so well established, was there ever a point at which you thought, you know, this might not actually work out as a business?
11:33
Yeah, so certainly in the early days of top cashback, it was hard.
11:39
Like I say, we didn't have the marketing budget.
11:42
Other cashback sites did, you know, and had other platforms that they could use.

So there's a lot of word of mouth.
11:51
Over the years, there's been lots of small things.
11:54
There's always something around the corner.

So you're saying if you tax warehouse space here, it potentially gives overseas sellers an advantage?
38:28
Well, it depends.
38:30

They're already challenging that in the next, I think it's almost now, I think, or very soon.

Our government has said they're going to, implement something in the second half of 2028 you know two two years after the eu well you know if they want to drive more um income uh into the government they're going to need to do things a bit faster to stop to stop that you know sort of overseas dumping of cheap goods but i don't know for me it's the government have got to look at um as george said earlier they've got to look at um reducing costs.
39:34
And it does seem that we have a welfare system that's out of control and rather than sort of killing ambition and aspiration for people that want to work hard.
41:59
Yeah, go ahead.
