So trying to know yourself and project that.

Oh, my goodness.

It is it's not a good time to ask.

We've just had this we've had this perfect place.

We live in a place called Brighton in England on the south coast.

And it's a lovely town full of lots of independent shops.

And we found the perfect location right in the center of town, right in this quirky neighborhood.

And we really wanted it, but there were lots of other people who wanted it.

And we were on vacation.

We were in Asia when we had to put the bid in.

So we were not doing it the best we could.

our pitch so we lost out to another ice cream shop i love ice cream but brighton does not need another ice cream shop is it's 70 ice cream shops got it okay there's only three months of the year you'd want to eat ice cream in brighton because we have long cold winters

so we've got another ice cream shop coming and i wish it was a bookshop but we are we're still looking it's still going to happen i've got such a clear vision it's bookshop and cafe hybrid as one the original plan was free coffee but we've been warned off that so our concept now is really expensive coffee that's the that's the unique okay books at normal price coffee like extremely expensive no it's not really but it is going to be coffee it is going to be books and uh

Yeah, I love it.

I want it to be like I have this fantasy about bookshops in my head, like sort of Shakespeare and Co and all those sort of classic bookshops where they're like books falling off the shelves are infinite.

I do like that.

But as a sort of autistic person, I can get a little bit overwhelmed in a bookshop.

So I want it to be a very curated space.

Oh, perfect.

And the idea was to have no spine-out books.
