And I just wonder how far the hospital is able to cope with this number of casualties and the type of injuries that they have sustained.

In real terms, it reflects probably a 3% annual increase year on year since it was increased about a decade ago to 11,000. So, you know, although it's a hike of $4,000 in one go, in real terms, it's an incremental increase. It's fairly standard. It's a difficult one. It will partly perhaps reduce numbers.

Unfortunately, that then becomes a bit of a differential between those that can afford and those that maybe can't quite afford. But a lot of the money is put back into there's rubbish on the mountain and they do have some cleanup operations occasionally. And some of those are funded by the Nepalese government.

Unfortunately, that then becomes a bit elitist. The outdoors hopefully is for everyone to enjoy, but there are plenty of other mountains around the world where you have to pay to enjoy that environment. So it's not as if it's the only mountain that you have to pay for. If it was a cheaper option, undoubtedly it would be busier and that in turn could create some big problems.

So I think there's a very delicate balance and we'll see next season, spring 26, we'll see what happens in terms of numbers then, I guess.

As far as Donald Trump is concerned, you would agree, Christopher, you're in a bit of a minority in the artistic community because I know you're a massive believer in the man. Absolutely. You're incredibly enthusiastic about who he is, what he stands for. And, I mean, you will be aware that a lot of artists in all sorts of fields, but music is certainly one of them, they are not fans of the man.
