00:23 That's good.
00:23 The other thing I was going to tell you all,
00:25 because I was talking to some of your colleagues,
00:27 is that I don't know if you caught some of the news,
00:29 but we were really keen-- manage the economy well last year,
00:31 get inflation down, so that we could start cutting your taxes.
00:34 So as of this past weekend, your taxes have now been cut.
00:38 So we've cut the rate of national insurance from 12%
00:40 to 10%.
00:41 I see some nodding, which is good.
00:43 So depending on how much you're interested,
00:45 someone on an average wage of about 35 grand
00:47 will get a 450 pound tax cut, which kicked in as of this
00:50 weekend.
00:51 So hopefully that's that lovely good, right?
