Yes, okay. Maybe two last questions now, very quickly.

Mr. McCarthy, you weren't able to give us a precise figure in relation to how much of the bailout to Royal Bank of Scotland would've been accounted for by the crash in the Republic of Ireland and the losses. But could I ask you, would you understand if the British taxpayers felt quite aggrieved that activities by a bank headquartered in Britain, should be bailed out by them, for activities in Ireland?
