00:00Do you have a favourite independent business in the city or an independent shop?
00:07I do like the second-hand jewellery shop.
00:10There's a second-hand jewellery shop that are very nice and very friendly.
00:13I've been looking for a cladder ring for sentimental reasons.
00:16And they actually text me when they have one come in and then I can go and see them.
00:21And then I can go, oh, maybe that doesn't fit, you know, and then they go away and then they text me again.
00:26And I think that kind of personal relationship with people, people are really, really considerate, I think.
00:33Whereabouts is that, sorry?
00:35It's on, I think it's on Call Lane.
00:38Yeah, just down here?
00:40Just down here, yeah.

01:38Well, right outside the Corn Exchange, there's a few options here.
01:41I think, I think it would have to be, I don't know, it's a hard one.
01:48Something in Market, I forgot the name, but it's this really nice pizza place.
01:54Okay.
01:55They give out free pizzas after, it's like all the pizzas they don't sell, they give
