Good. I wish to ask another question. I am not sure who said this because I was so engrossed in what was being said I was not looking, but it was about physical education in secondary school and primary schools. I have always thought it unhealthy to expect students to sit all day in a classroom, go home, have a bite to eat and then study again for a number of hours. Do we need to look at broadening education outside the classroom, recognising that not everybody enjoys sport? Was it Annie who spoke about that?
