I say temporary.
It's a massive structure that they put in the garden, but only for those three months.
And you go and work in the shop in the garden for three months, sort of just like as a...
Retail assistant, but like quasi tour guide as well, because people still obviously, you do get a bit of background and people still want to talk to you about it when they're in the shop.
And did it feel like, you know, you described the title as unglamorous.
I've worked in retail jobs before and I didn't find it too exciting.
Did you feel more like, I'm working a retail job at Buckingham Palace, or did you feel like, I'm working a retail job at Buckingham Palace?
Like, did the specialness of the palace permeate your days?
I think you don't see it until you do something else.
So that was the first job I'd ever had.
And then I went and worked the year later at my local Tesco's, which is like your... Supermarket.
Yeah, supermarket.
And I was doing like fruit and veg.
So I was doing food stuff.
And at that point I was thinking, I was like, a year ago I was working in Buckingham Palace and then it hits you.

It's also the thing I can like hold over my family members a lot, which is quite fun.
And when you started working there, like, did anyone ever give you like a talk about secrecy and privacy?
Like what you were allowed to say about what you saw and what you weren't or like what questions you should answer and what you shouldn't?
Yeah, so there was a lot about that, right?
