00:00 I'm in the station hall and I'm with Shae, the manager. Am I right in that?
00:05 Yes.
00:06 That's a good start. I believe that you are giving some food to service personnel this
00:10 Christmas.
00:11 Yes.
00:12 What's the reason behind that?
00:13 Yes I am. I think the purpose is that it's Christmas Day, they're giving up their time,
00:18 the family time and there's not a lot of places open so I thought I'd give them somewhere
00:23 to come and eat and either to come in or to take away when they're busy or if they are
00:27 busy. So the idea is just to give something back to the community, to our service workers
00:33 to say a massive thank you for their sacrifice that they do throughout the year, especially
00:39 in Christmas time as well when they're away from family, when Christmas is all about family
00:43 time, it's all about coming together as a family and now they can't because they're
00:49 working, they're working to help us to keep us safe, keep the community safe as well and
00:57 to support them as much as they can. So it's just my way of saying a massive thank you
01:02 to the service workers and that's what it is. So hopefully they enjoy the food and it's
01:08 a Merry Christmas.
