Stoke-on-Trent

but you're kind of operating above high net worth, but below kind of institutional, kind of one to 10 to 12 million quid type lot sizes.

Just sold a retail park in Newcastle and Lyme near Stoke-on-Trent for 12 and a half to a South African fund.

So we'll operate up to about 15 and then we start to run out of cash then.

And is that a kind of substitute to your growth in the final salary pension? The investment management business ticking you

We've only tagged together.

But the only, I think the two promotions where it could happen, no, the only one promotion it could happen would be a pro wrestler to you and Stoke-on-Trent because he is heavyweight champion and he is a babyface there and I am.

They hate me there.

I've only had them so far, but they absolutely hate me and it's fantastic.

So I'm guessing his middle name begins with P from that.

He's an indie artist and he's from Stoke-on-Trent in the UK.

And he describes his sound as, I love this, modern vintage sound.

I mean, I'd prefer to call it retro contemporary, but it's got this kind of late 80s, early 90s layback groove to it.

It is something to look into, of course, and especially in the general context that the gaming industry is going through.

So does the location, Stoke-on-Trent, like we said, Malta and Gibraltar, of these cuts tell us anything about where the business is under the most pressure?

I wouldn't say it tells us more, really, because we kind of all know that the state that the UK market is in at the moment since the announcements of the autumn budget last year Same with the fact that they employ over 5,000 people in Stoke-on-Trent, so the likelihood is that job cuts were going to come in that area.

I wrote this morning about projections around a tax increase wouldn't really massively impact jobs.

and that the bgc were over exaggerating now the bgc did say initially that up to 40 000 jobs could be lost and now we're probably still a long way off that but it's yet another example of one of the uk's biggest players who are reportedly going to benefit off this tax increase because they'll be able to eat up market share it's another example of one of the biggest players in the country, probably arguably the biggest player in the country, being forced into cost-cutting measures, which kind of shows that whilst there needs to be regulation, it's an industry that does obviously need to have constant regulation and some sort of...

Yeah, I mean, the contrast is pretty stark, right? In the last week, I don't know, 10 days, I think, Bet365 has launched in West Virginia and in Washington, D.C.

This continues a pattern, really, for this company.

Like, I guess, you know, in a similar way to how Patrick said about, like, you know, if there are five and a half thousand employees or whatever in Stoke-on-Trent, like, job cuts are likely to affect that area.
