It's fine value, but you don't need it.
No, you don't need it.
And if you did need it, you'd have bought it at home.
So, you know, one of the reasons we do is, as I say, we're bored.
So one of the tricks is to keep yourself entertained.
So bring a book.
I know it's really revolutionary, but an old school paperback book.
Then you can sit on a chair and read the book.
Just bring colouring for your kids, iPads, whatever it might be, just to keep yourself distracted and away from spending money.
And the other thing that airports do, and I always think it's really sneaky, is, you know, you arrive in Gatwick Airport, for example, and you're there 90 minutes beforehand or...
two hours beforehand and you say, I'll go to my gate now because, you know, I'll get out of the shops.
They don't tell you what your gate is.
They say gate announcement in 60 minutes.
There's a reason for that.
Oh, that's what that's for.
Ryanair knows two years in advance what gate they're going to be at.
Oh my God.
In Gatwick Airport at 7 o'clock on a Tuesday evening.
The airport doesn't tell you because they know that if they tell you what gate you're at, you're going to go to the gate.
But that means if you go to the gate, you're not in the airport shopping hall spending money.
