00:00Tell me, what is your favourite thing about Liverpool?
00:03There's just so much that... I'm going to go for the people.
00:07Because I think, especially training in Liverpool,
00:13we have, you know, researchers coming through, crew,
00:17and quite a few of them have never been to Liverpool before.
00:19And the one thing they always say is,
00:21oh, everyone's so lovely and welcoming.
00:23And it's true. And the city always gets behind their own.
00:26You know, whether it's the tragedy of Hillsborough,
00:30or, like you say, Southport with the Taylor Swift incident,
00:33or just raising money, like for Zoe's Place,
00:35we always get behind our own.
00:37And I'm mega, mega proud to be part of that
00:39and to be from Liverpool.
00:40So, yeah, it has to be the people.
