I know there are other questions the Chairman can follow up on later. My colleague is gone missing but I have a final question relating to construction. There seems to be a preference for right angles and squares as opposed to oval. I am not an expert on this area but I have some knowledge of it. There is no difference whatsoever in the cost for a graduated curve. It is the right angle curve that creates the expense. It is incorrect to presume that the design is wrong because it has a graduated curve. In fact, right angle curves inside or outside the building are appallingly frustrating from a builder's point of view. All builders will tell one that straight away, even if they are only building a house. However, I am willing to give further information on that as required, Chairman.
