And, you know, I actually got into the story because I would go to the grocery store here in London, and there's a bean company called the Bold Bean Company, and they're selling jars of beans for more than three pounds.

And I thought, who on earth is spending that kind of money on beans?

Yeah.

Yeah, exactly.

Right.

And most, you know, can get a tin of beans or a can of beans for, you know, 50 pence.
