That is grand. I wanted to clarify that. As many ATMs are located in shops, there is access to cash only until 6 p.m. People need cash when they are going out later in the evening, however, and all that kind of stuff. ATMs are part of the fabric of our society. There are no criteria relating to where a person can get access to cash. People need access to cash after 6 p.m. We cannot always foresee when we will need to access the ATM in a shop and all the rest. There is no distinction in the heads of Bill with regard to whether an ATM is available 24-7, as many of them are, or from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
