Aluminium, for example.

But food prices are certainly going to go up because this is the main...

you know, food-producing season.

And I think you're in America, but I understand that American farmers are in dire trouble with price of diesel for their tractors.

And also fertilizer.

And it's the same, of course, for Europe, no difference.

So inflation is going to go up and therefore interest rates are going to go up.

And so this is going to be quite painful.

Mortgages will be adjusted up whenever they're allowed to be adjusted up.

So we are on the edge of the cusp, and I think that may be, unfortunately, the only thing that is going to sort of loosen it up, because one way or another, Trump has put himself into a box.

He has to have a deal that is better than Obama's, that is clearly a win for him, shows he was being tough and got a victory from it.

I don't know where it's gone.

I mean, it may be in Pickaxe Mountain or something, which is even deeper and less accessible.

But, I mean, an operation like that, and they tried that in Isfahan.

We haven't been told the full details, but I understand, you know, because they're always, you know, two to tango in any military operation, shall we say, that, I mean, there were a lot of 250, 300 people
