Whereas for us, it's become normal.
So yeah, like I said, I reckon this is just about the bank earnings.
And James, let's have a quick look at a household name that hit the news this week, Chemist Warehouse, or rather its parent company, Sigma Healthcare.
It's considering a $14 billion deal to buy iconic British chemist chain boots in what would have to be a huge step outside its natural home in Australia.
What do you reckon?
Is this a good idea or could this deal have some nasty little side effects?
Oh, I don't know about this one, Anthony.
We've seen many Australian companies go to Britain.
Old Blighty, you know, the mother country.
Looks so easy, doesn't it?
You know, they speak the same language as us.
Similar laws.
They like fish and chips and beer like us.
What could go wrong?
Surely the same concept in retail will work.
Hasn't always worked out like that.
I remember, of course, Bunnings, Anthony, tried to go to the UK and take over a struggling hardware chain there and turn it around.
Failed spectacularly.
And I think that experience will be ringing in the ears of investors.
The other problem here is that Boots is currently owned by a private equity firm.
