Do you know what the official definition or how do you... I don't know the official definition, but I think it's...

either an accessory or a body part of a saint that is kept in a church, sometimes in a special little box, and you can come and worship it.

And it's treated as though it's imbued with holiness in itself.

And sometimes they're quite gross.

Is that fair?

It was a good tongue.

Not a bad tongue.

Oh, yes, see what you mean.

For me, I don't know if I'm allowed to qualify saints or not, but for me, I like the saints that are not rich.

That feels like that should be necessary to be a saint.

I don't know.

Again, with a hermit, I feel like I've got a very particular...

image in my head of what a hermit looks like.

I think it's quite a lot based on Monty Python, really.

I see them as being quite muddy and wearing like a sort of hair sack, Hessian type thing and having no earthly goods and living in a cave.

I don't know.

Yeah.

I think of them as being quite quiet and humble.

But then if you're a missionary or a teacher, you've absolutely got to spread the word, haven't you?
