Would your hot chocolate taste as good had we been shown to our table by a robot and a robot had made it and another robot had delivered it to the table?
I mean, there is that human touch which is really important.
Alright, Vicky Redwood from Capital Economics, thank you very much indeed.
I notice you're not eating your chocolate yet.

I'm Rob Young, and today we're looking at the huge job of rebuilding Gaza and its people's livelihoods.
Akram crouches over a makeshift stove, brewing tea in the tent he now calls home.
He's one of nearly one and a half million people still displaced by the war between Israel and Hamas.
As Akram sips his tea, he and his grandchildren stare at a photo of the house they lost, now just rubble.
This was approximately my 21st displacement during the war, from street to street, neighbourhood to neighbourhood, city to city and north to south.
21 displacements, suffering and getting to know how to move from one place to another.
I spent 58 years working, building it brick by brick and getting the house ready so I could feel settled when I got old, owning a whole property, only to find out that the house was gone, reduced to rubble.
Across Gaza City, earthmovers grind through piles of waste, loading it onto trucks bound for a new landfill in the south.
In neighbourhood after neighbourhood, rubble stretches into the distance.
Rebuilding will take years and cost billions.
Into this devastation, amid a fragile ceasefire, come competing visions for Gaza's future, including one floated in January by Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, imagining skyscrapers in a new Gaza.
No rebuilding work under President Trump's Board of Peace plan has been started since the ceasefire began eight months ago.
