I was going to ask a question regarding how this is absolutely modelled out, but I imagine that is done to a huge level. As I said, it is obviously geographical, time-based and all the rest of it. It is making sure to stay ahead of where the need is going to be, and that creates its own difficulty.

Could Dr. O'Grady go into an element of what that looks like in general terms.? If anybody listening to this debate has shares in a company with forecourts, I imagine he or she is selling at the minute in the sense that there are obviously worries in that regard whereas beforehand, I heard people say that an awful lot of forecourts determined they would not be selling a huge amount of fuel into the future. Therefore, it is about maybe becoming a destination in the sense that people stop for food or whatever else and people will always need services if they are on long journeys etc.
