specifically nice in terms of our workload for the day.

That'd be nice.

The digitalization or digitization, I'm sure we'll talk about that a little later on, the digital journey that tax authorities have been on for the last 15, 20 years or so has really fascinated me.

And I have been, until very recently, a big proponent of the idea that a lot of the interesting stuff that happens in the world of accounting technology is actually on the coattails of regulatory change.

So in that way, kind of innovation comes from the fact that the ability for tax authorities to take advantage of new software and new infrastructure that's out there.

And things like MTD and various guises of it are kind of good examples of that here in the UK.

There's not often that one character, that's that one person that you say their name and suddenly, immediately, everyone has an opinion.

She loves it, yeah.
