A million euro would be fine.
Thank you very much.
We were talking the other day about geography and I was suggesting that maybe, as a country, we're not too au fait with our own geography.
And I did a little test with Jenny and she knew where a lot of places were.
She didn't know that Castledermot was in Kildare, but she knew a lot of stuff.
She was surprised.
She surprised herself at how good she was at Irish geography.
Anyhow, Sonia Sullivan was listening and she said, heard you talked about Irish geography.
I think we are better than most countries when it comes to geography and knowing where places are.
This now is another level.
People come to Austria, presuming it's Australia, looking for kangaroos.
Now I've heard this story before, Sonia Sullivan, that people mistakenly go to Austria and because the spelling of it is so close to Australia that they think they're in Australia and they disembark and they get off and they look for kangaroos and of course kangaroos aren't there because they're native to Australia, not Austria.
They're actually T-shirts.
that say, no kangaroos in Austria.
There are t-shirts.
And Sonia sent me a picture of this shelf loads of merchandise.
There's mugs, t-shirts, pencils, all sorts of things, all with the no kangaroos in Austria.
And I thought, did this come from somewhere?
So I did a little bit of research, as is my wont.
And I was wondering, was there any solid story?
