Numbers of young children in Accident And Emergency departments across the uk with most suffering a mild fever which could be treated at home still cutting hair at 91 we meet the uks oldest hairdresser and coming up later this hour, ill be taking your questions on International Travel and putting them to our experts you can send in your questions to yourquestions bbc. Co. Uk or tweet us with the Hashtag Bbcyourquestions good morning. Leading figures in the Travel Industry have expressed Dismay And Frustration at the governments easing of restrictions on foreign holidays, saying it does not go far enough. Sixteen destinations have been added to the uks Green List. In europe, those include the spanish Balearic Islands of ibiza, Menorca And Majorca as well as Malta And Madeira. Further afield, Green List countries include antigua, barbados, dominica and bermuda. It means from 4 oclock on wednesday morning, travellers from those Green List countries will not have to quarantine upon arrival in the uk. But with the exception of malta, all destinations have also been added to the � green Watch List� in other words theyre at risk of moving back to amber at short notice. The Travel Industry Body Abta is warning the announcement on its own will not deliver the meaningful restart of International Travel that the industry desperately needs. Our Transport Correpondent Caroline davies reports no roar of the engines, silent and static. Yesterday, Gatwick Airport had 69 passenger flights. This time of year pre pandemic, they would have had between 800 and 900. As the school holidays inch closer, the Green List is increasingly critical for the industry, but Yesterdays Announcement is good news for some. After over a month of hoping, malta is one of the countries that will go green from next wednesday. Bermuda and barbados will also go green. But all of the new additions, apart from malta, are on the green Watch List, meaning that the government is warning that they are at risk of going to amber. The Red List is also getting longer with six additions, including tunisia and uganda. The Green List does not go far enough for the industry. Were delighted the balearics and Malta And Madeira have been put onto the Green List. But it is disappointing that, you know, the government still dont seem to be following the data and the science because many more destinations should have been put onto the Green List. And we would encourage, you know, a safe and sustainable opening of travel to really start to ramp up now. The uk Travel Industry is desperate to see more people setting off on trips. But its notjust about the uks Green List. Its also about which countries will let Uk Visitors in. Germanys chancellor Angela Merkel said yesterday that she wants to see the eu having a more unified approach on travel Rules. To stop the spread of a Delta Variant, shes urged other countries to impose quarantine, as germany has done, on uk arrivals. But what about fully vaccinated travellers . The Uk Government did say that it was looking at removing quarantine for them, but not until later in the summer. We see that there is a case for double vaccination, fully vaccinated, meaning that you perhaps dont have to quarantine. So we can take those countries in the Amber List and allow people to come back without having to do the quarantine that youd have to do for amber, but not yet, partly because, of course, not everybody has been offered a vaccine yet. And secondly, because the scientists are still working on the implications. So there are a number of different questions which still need to be answered. It wont come soon enough for sarah and peter, who live in america. Both are fully vaccinated and due to travel in a few weeks. Sarah hasnt seen her parents in two years. Were not talking about holidays, its not a holiday we want to do. I want to see my family, my parents, and its the same for so many people around the world. I really dont see any reason why i it cant happen now with a negative test to fly and fully vaccinated. Why not . The new list opens up some much longed for destinations, but International Travel is yet to take off, and the warnings are that this summer will be far from smooth. Caroline davies, Bbc News. Responding to german chancellor Angela Merkel� s concerns about british travellers spreading the Delta Variant, the Transport Secretary Grant shapps has acknowledged some European Countries may take longer than others to open their doors to arrivals from the uk. I think its understandable if you are in germany, i heard what the chancellor said yesterday, and you have yet to reach the levels of vaccinations we have seen here, or in malta, but you are going to be more concerned, and that may be just a question of waiting for their vaccination programme. I think different countries in europe will take different views, and talking to my counterparts in different locations, malta we know about, obviously, keen to accept british tourists. Spain, because we have the balearics, but we will see what happens, i suspect that different European Countries will come to different conclusions, depending on their own domestic roll out of the vaccination programme, and it is probably in most cases a question of being patient and waiting to see what happens with their domestic programmes. Labours shadow transport secretary, jim mcmahon, says the Governments Traffic Light system lacks clarity. We would be calling for the government to have a clear, transparent and died at led plan but its essential for consumer confidence, supporting the Tourism And Aviation industry and it is essential for the government to make sure we carry people and what has been a very long journey and keep public trust. The Government Hasnt done that, Flip Flopping from one plant to another, not giving people anywhere near enough notice, not publishing data and we dont know which directions countries are going to, what analysis has been made of each country and thats caused a lot of confusion. Our Business Correspondent Katie Prescott is here. The Labour Party not happy, the Travel Industry generally not very happy either, they are still saying this could mean another last summer. Those are the words of the british Airways Boss and the other words we keep hearing echoed by Travel Industry bosses as this is not enough. Easyjet going further saying what are we waiting for . I think there are several issues at stake. When you look at the on the screen list, they are also on a watchlist which means they could switch from green to amber at any stage and it that uncertainty, both for customers who are thinking of holidays, or indeed going to see friends and family but also for the Travel Bosses because the second point is, it takes a lot of time to ramp up capacity so that they are going to offer more holidays to these places, they need time to big hotels, flights, and i spoke to the boss of thomas cook this morning he said its really difficult, the changes that, quite short notice make it very difficult for the industry. The other difficult point is they were hoping for some solid announcement about what might happen to people who have been double vaccinated, whether they would be able To Go to amber countries without having to quarantine on return, the Government Said it is planning to do that but exactly when and how thats going to work is still to be decided and so its the threat of uncertainty, that i think is still making Travel Companies find it very difficult at the moment, in the Run Up to the key Summer Period. The moment, in the runUp To the key Summer Period Summer Period. Another layer of uncertainty. Summer period. Another layer of uncertainty, alThough Summer Period.

Thats exactly The Point, we can make as many directive. Thats exactly The Point, we can make as many decisions i directive. Thats exactly The Point, j we can make as many decisions as directive. Thats exactly The Point, we can make as many decisions as we want about Uk Travellers here but if other Countries Wont have us and you had to confront to certain regulations when you go there, it doesnt make much difference what we decide here. Most countries at the moment have jurisdiction over their own borders and for the southern countries, Uk Visitors play a hugely important part to their economy so perhaps they are unlikely to change but as you say, if there is an eu wide directive they will have little choice over that. Wide directive they will have little choice over that. Well ,does the Governments Expansion of the uks green Travel List go far enough . Well be answering your questions on this atjust after half past nine with Lyn Hughes, editor of Wanderlust And Lisa Francesca Nand of the big travel podcast. Get in touch with the Hashtag Bbcyourquestions or you can text 61124 or you email yourquestions bbc. Co. Uk a friend of the Health Secretary, Matt Hancock, says he wont comment on personal issues following publication of pictures of him in the Sun Newspaper with a close aide he hired last year during the pandemic. The friend said Mr Hancock had no comment on personal matters, adding no Rules have been broken. The Department Of Health says the aide was appointed in the usual way and according to correct procedure. Lets get more from our political correspondent ben wright. First of all, did he break any Rules in the hiring her . The Government Sa s not, in the hiring her . The Government Says not. A in the hiring her . The Government Says not, a spokesman in the hiring her . The Government Says not, a spokesman for in the hiring her . The Government Says not, a spokesman for the says not, a spokesman for the department says all the right processes were followed. What we are talking about is a woman called Gina Coladangelo is an old friend of Matt Hancock, they have known Each Other for many years, right back to university. She is the director of a Lobbying Firm in london and last year The Sunday times reported was appointed as an unpaid adviser to the Health Secretary in march. And then in september last year became a Nonexecutive Director of the board that oversees and scrutinises the work of the Department Of Health. Now, the Sun Newspaper has published pictures of the aid and Matt Hancock which seems to show them embracing in a Corridorfrom May which seems to show them embracing in a corridor from may this year. As you said, ben, a friend said Health Secretary does not comment on personal matters, no Rules have been broken and the Transport Secretary Grant shapps when he was asked about this earlier said it was an entirely personal matter. But i think this raises a lot of questions for Matt Hancock, particularly around the appointment of the aid to the board of the Department Of Health and that is where labour will focus their scrutiny this morning. A spokesperson for the Labour Party said ministers are entitled to a private life of the government needs to be open and transparent about whether there are any Conflicts Of Interest or Rules that have been broken. So Matt Hancock and i think, a very uncomfortable place this morning. I a very uncomfortable place this morninu. ,. , morning. I suppose the other ruestion morning. I suppose the other question that morning. I suppose the other question that will morning. I suppose the other question that will occur morning. I suppose the other question that will occur to morning. I suppose the other i question that will occur to many viewers and readers of the newspaper, you know, were social Rules'>Distancing Rules and covid Rules and general broken . Distancing Rules and covid Rules and general broken . Yes, i mean, this is at a time when general broken . Yes, i mean, this is at a time when the general broken . Yes, i mean, this is at a time when the delta general broken . Yes, i mean, this is at a time when the Delta Variant general broken . Yes, i mean, this is at a time when the Delta Variant was| at a time when the Delta Variant was spreading, the social Rules'>Distancing Rules still in place. And this, i think, is in several respects a Compromising Position for Matt Hancock to find himself in. It seems extraordinary these images could emerge at all. They seem to be from stills from the Cctv Camera which the paper says was in the Department Of Health. Yet somehow they found themselves under the front page of themselves under the front page of the Sun Newspaper. Yes, that is one from that Matt Hancock i think will be facing questions on the other, but the most important at the moment is the question of potential Conflicts Of Interest, why someone who he appears to have a much closer personal relationship with than we had assumed or knew about, had a row first as an unpaid aide and was then put on the board as a Nonexecutive Director of the department itself. Thank you. Accident and Emergency Departments across the uk are seeing Record Levels of young children for this time of year with most suffering a mild fever which can be treated at home. The surge is being caused by viruses which would normally flourish in the winter but the spread was delayed this year because of the lockdown. Our Health Reporter Philippa roxby has more. Record numbers of young children are being seen at Accident And Emergency departments around the uk. Doctors say most have a mild fever which can be treated at home. They say they are overwhelmed. I was on a couple of mondays ago when we saw nearly 300 patients in a day. We are seeing lots of young children less than one year old, with fevers, a bit of vomiting, maybe a bit of diarrhoea, who generally look quite well but there is parental anxiety about their symptoms. We simply dont have enough staff to keep up with that demand. A e doctors across the uk have told the Royal College of paediatricians and Child Health Theyve seen large increases in children attending, particularly those under five. In some places, demand is double normal levels. 0ne Doctor in belfast said she was extremely worried if what would happen if numbers continued to rise. In liverpool, there are reports of pressure on inpatient beds. And a doctor in edinburgh spoke of lots of children with viral illnesses that dont need hospital treatment. Children going to A E are not unwell with covid. But with other infections normally seen in winter. Children have been in lockdown since the early part of last year. And particularly younger children, their immune systems just havent been challenged in any kind of way by the normal viruses that we have around us all the time. Now lockdown has been eased, they are now being exposed to what are just the usual viruses. And of course now they are becoming unwell. Ia month old theo was seriously unwell. Two weeks ago, he ended up in A E. I was really frightened, very scared. Especially because he had all the spots all over his body and you always think the worst. With a high temperature, as high as it was, you know, we were thinking it was something seriously wrong. A e is the correct place to take a child in an emergency, but there are times when parents should trust their instincts. Fever phobia is so common, and its everywhere in the community where people get worried about the fever rather than their child. And what i try and tell people is, if youre just worried about the symptoms, if you think the child is fine, its just the fever youre worried about, orjust the Diarrhoea Orjust the vomiting, actually, your child is likely to be ok. Because you know your child best and if theyre well, they probably will be well. Susie did the right thing. She gave Theo Liquid Paracetamol to try and bring his temperature down, then called 111 for advice when he didnt improve. Doctors say A E services should be freed Up To help seriously ill children like him. Philippa roxby, Bbc News. I can now speak to Dr Damian Roland who works as a paediatrician in A E at the leicester royal infirmary. I suppose we are so used to talking about coronavirus, we tend to forget about coronavirus, we tend to forget about other viruses and how much damage had they been doing and how many patients have you been seeing . Have you seen a surge in children coming in . Have you seen a surge in children cominu in . ,. ,. ,. , coming in . Yes, thank you for having Me On. Coming in . Yes, thank you for having Me On its coming in . Yes, thank you for having Me On its quite coming in . Yes, thank you for having Me On. Its quite clear coming in . Yes, thank you for having Me On. Its quite clear we coming in . Yes, thank you for having Me On. Its quite clear we are Me On. Its quite clear we are seeing more children for this time of year than we have ever done before and virtually every Emergency Department is reporting that. What is concerning is the majority of those children have very simple disease processes, fever for no more than a couple of days, vomiting and diarrhoea. And thats important because if we are already at capacity and we still have winter to come with all the more serious bugs that come out, it is going to make it more challenging for us going forward because we really wont be able to deal with the numbers that we might see. Able to deal with the numbers that we might see able to deal with the numbers that we might see. What is your advice to arents we might see. What is your advice to parents with we might see. What is your advice to parents with children we might see. What is your advice to parents with children in we might see. What is your advice to parents with children in that parents with children in that condition, should they bring them into the hospital or should they look after them at home . Its into the hospital or should they look after them at home . Its a really difficult look after them at home . Its a really difficult Thing Look after them at home . Its a really difficult thing and look after them at home . Its a really difficult thing and we look after them at home . Its a really difficult thing and we are| really difficult thing and we are not blaming parents or carers at all, they need to makejudgments on their children because they know them best but what we do need to do, if we get people to remember what things were like before Covid And Covid has done an interesting thing, last year there was very little disease in the community, some parents had children who are now eight year old who never had any Minor Coughs and colds and i suppose they have forgotten some of the normal processes. That would be seeking a bit of advice from friends, family, think about calling 111 or go to 111 online, there are iii or go to 111 online, there are loads of local and national resources, there is a website called healthier together which gives useful advice, try contacting your pharmacist or primary care, these are the things you need to do for us because generally, if your child has had a fever i would say for a couple of days or vomiting or diarrhoea, they are likely to be well, they dont need a face to Face Review and they certainly dont need to come to they certainly dont need to come to the Emergency Department. I5 they certainly dont need to come to the Emergency Department. Is it the case because the Emergency Department. Is it the case because children the Emergency Department. Is it the case because children havent the Emergency Department. Is it the case because children havent been. Case because children havent been mixing very much, because of lockdown restrictions, they havent developed the normal immunity to infections that you would expect . Yes, its not quite about the immunity, immunity hasnt been damaged or disappeared, itsjust damaged or disappeared, its just children damaged or disappeared, itsjust children havent been exposed as much so they are fine with the common cold and they will be able to deal with it exactly the same as they have dealt with it for the last decade or so. Itsjust they have dealt with it for the last decade or so. Its just that some of these infections are new to some parents, theyve not seen their child with a fever before, theyve not seen them unwell before. And i think thats the issue rather than any problem with immunity. Thank ou. Any adult in england will be able to get theirfirstjab against covid this weekend with no need to book an appointment. Football stadiums, theatres and Supermarket Car parks are among the hundreds of venues being turned into temporary vaccine centres, as Matt Graveling reports. Whether you got it at a cathedral or a mosque. A stadium or racecourse. 44 Million of us have now had at least one dose of the vaccine. But with I7 of the population still unprotected, the nhs is now putting even more effort into the final furlong. We want as many people as possible to get vaccinated ahead ofjuly the 19th. So this weekend, were Opening Hundreds Of Pop Up Walk In Centres where you can just turn up, you dont need to book, and grabajab. More than One Million appointments were made in just two days when over 18s became eligible last week. Its hoped the surge will continue this weekend with venues like Edgbaston Cricket Ground and arsenals Emirates Stadium becoming huge Pop Up centres to help supply demand. Weve noticed that there are particular areas of our communities that were really working with to try and deliver what were calling a hyper local response, literally going door to door to understand the reasons that people are being more hesitant about taking up the vaccine. The Government Hope byjuly 19th, all adults will have had theirfirstjab, a figure currently at 83 . Second jabs are also available at some centres this weekend. But if youre over 40, it must have been at least eight weeks since your first. Or if youre under 40, there must be a 12 week gap. We know vaccines are very safe and highly effective, and also effective against the new Delta Variant that were seeing in the country. The more people who get vaccinated, the safer we will all be and of course, the freer we will all be. And its this Delta Variant thats believed to be behind the recent climb in Covid Cases, now at almost 17,000 a day. A number the government is desperate to drive down before they open up. Matt graveling, Bbc News. 0ur Correspondent Ben Boulos is at the Emirates Stadium in North London where theyre hosting a Mass Vaccine Vaccine walk in clinic. Its going to be grab a jab that is its going to be grab a ab that is the phrase its going to be grab a ab that is the phrase at the its going to be grab a jab that is the phrase at the weekend. Its going to be grab a jab that is the phrase at the weekend. Its i the phrase at the weekend. Its normally about shots on the pitch here at the Emirates Stadium, home to arsenalfootball here at the Emirates Stadium, home to arsenal football club, these are some of the people who have been queueing up from early this morning, they are hoping to vaccinate two and a half thousand a day over the course at the weekend and when people arrive they make they were three into the stadium. They get registered. And once theyve got registered, they make their way through here, they get an assessment by one of the volunteers and the staff. The reason that they have turned this into a Pop Up walk vaccination centre, one of hundreds across england is to get Vaccination Rates up, the government � s goal is to get all adults vaccinated by the 19th Ofjuly and to get 80 of Uk Adults having had bothjobs, that date is key because that is when they hope to lift the remaining Rules and restrictions that are currently in place. Now im walking through here quite quickly to get us to The Point where we can speak to one of the many volunteers, as i say, trying to vaccinate two and a half thousand people every day, its busy already, as you see.

Its 9 25am. In miami, Rescue Teams are working through the night to try to find survivors in the rubble of a 12 Storey Apartment Block that collapsed without warning, bringing down dozens of homes in a matter of seconds. At least one person was killed but more than 2a hours after it happened, there are still around 100 people unaccounted for, as our correspondent Will Grant reports from the scene. As the hours pass, Emergency Rescue teams are working through the night at the collapsed apartment block, relentlessly trying to locate anyone still trapped. They have even burrowed into the rubble from beneath, via the basement. Meanwhile, the full extent of the severity of this incident is becoming clearer. When an entire sea facing wing of the block collapsed, 12 Storeys Concertinaed in seconds, bringing down dozens of homes and, its feared, their residents with them. As the search goes on, this sobering assessment. I will tell you, after spending the bulk of the day here that this is a tragedy without precedent in the united states of america. For the desperate family members, Though, the wait for information is nothing short of unbearable. I think theyre gone. I dont want to be pessimistic, but they. Weve been calling them nonstop. No reply, nobody knows anything, we dont have information right now. The site of this building so destroyed is a terrible reminder to the people of this community of what they have lost. And it is a sign to the authorities that they must begin to establish what happened here no matter where it leads. Cctv images of the moment itself shows just how fast the building collapsed, and how difficult it would have been to survive. Now the questions for the authorities are mounting. Right now, were focused on the search and rescue. When that moment comes, the dire moment comes when they transition command, we will be in charge of the investigation. This tragic incident has affected everyone in this small community which never saw the disaster coming. Before long, they will need a full explanation of exactly why it did. Will grant, Bbc News, miami. The Competition Watchdog has opened a formal probe into Amazon And Google over concerns that they have not been doing enough to combat fake reviews on their sites. The competition and Markets Authority launched its initial inquiry last month and has now found grounds to investigate the online giants over the steps they have ta ken to prevent fake reviews and punish those caught posting them. When Margaret Sherlock opened her Hair Salon in lancashire in 1956, popular styles included the bouffant, the Bubble Cut and the classic wave. Fashions have changed since then but the salon is still going strong and so is margaret, who is now the uks oldest hairdresser at the age of 91. Ian haslam went to meet her. 91 years old and still working hard in a salon she opened in 1956. Margaret sherlock loves herjob. And this is the end of Row Terrace where its all been happening for 65 years. Come inside with me. How does it feel that you are britains oldest hairdresser .

And you used to be a teacher and now you are your mums glamorous assistant. Well, lam. I dont know so much about the glamorous. A lot of the people that come in have known me since i was a baby, and ijust love being here every day. I can understand now why she likes it so much. And shes still a hairdressing trendsetter.

So we hope that we will see changes over the next few weeks. Let so we hope that we will see changes over the next few weeks. Over the next few weeks. Let us go back to specific over the next few weeks. Let us go back to specific questions over the next few weeks. Let us go back to specific questions from back to specific questions from viewers. Lisa this is from paula, what is the guidance on testing before leaving the united kingdom . I have received a lots of information about testing, after the uk, but will i need to do a Pcr Test . Irlat will i need to do a Pcr Test . Not from our point will i need to do a Pcr Test . Not from our point of will i need to do a Pcr Test . Not from our point of view, you go away from from our point of view, you go away from the from our point of view, you go away from the uk from our point of view, you go away from the uk but it depends on what country from the uk but it depends on what country you from the uk but it depends on what country you are going into. Like with country you are going into. Like with everything with this, check about with everything with this, check about the with everything with this, check about the countries you are going into about the countries you are going into there about the countries you are going into.

Well it is pick being up on what test necessary . Well it is pick being up on what Lisa Test necessary . Well it is pick being up on what lisa said, i being up on what lisa said, obviouslies countries that we are visiting very often they will want to know that you are clear, so it is really the restrictions they are placing, not our government it is the ones that the other ones are doing, this is when you are departing from the uk, of course the airlines in some cases as well, they want to know you have had that predeparture want to know you have had that Predepa Rtu re test want to know you have had that Predeparture Test and equally then, flipping it round, coming back in, it of course it is necessary, so, it is every country that is setting their own Rules on, you know, they really obviously do need to know whether you are positive or negative and i think this will continue for a long time. And i think this will continue for a lone time. �. And i think this will continue for a long time long time. And Ust Picking up on that peht. Long time. And jUst Picking up on that point, lynn, long time. And jUst Picking up on that point, lynn, because long time. And jUst Picking up on that point, lynn, because you i long time. And jUst Picking up on that point, lynn, because you know, yes, we have more countries on the Green List but we have countries like germany and the german chancellor Angela Merkel saying we are not sure we want british Holiday Makers or anybody else from the uk because of the Delta Variant, you might think you can go somewhere but actually if there is some sort of Eu Directive and we dont know if there will be on letting Uk People in, then maybe we cant go any way. Maybe we cant. Each country it has to make maybe we cant. Each country it has to make up maybe we cant. Each country it has to make up its own mind. For instance to make up its own mind. For Instance Malta to make up its own mind. Fr . Instance malta have been desperate for us To Go. The british market is important to malta and they want us there, and with other countries, well, who knows . Maybe they really are worried about the Delta Variant, or maybe it is more a political issue, and that i think is what we really dont know, and one Cant Help wondering some of the decisions that are made on the list did Come Down to politics. Thud that are made on the list did Come Down to politics. Down to politics. And lisa, is that view that somewhere down to politics. And lisa, is that view that somewhere like down to politics.

That has to be taken into account well. That has to be taken into account. The Delta Variant looks like it account. The Delta Variant looks like it is account. The Delta Variant looks like it is doing badly here or doing very well like it is doing badly here or doing very well here, but we are testing so much very well here, but we are testing so much more, so all levels from each so much more, so all levels from each country is different, it must be difficult each country is different, it must be difficult to work it out.

Well, we dont know and of course one of the | dont know and of course one of the things that is being tested is the lateral Flow Test and they will be a lot cheaper, so there is a bit of hope there, and, you know, but, we will see what happens on that. I think testing is going to stay with us, you know, for months for maybe years, and even when you know, the Rules change about being double vaccinated, whether you need to do quarantine or not. I think even then quite a few countries will insist on people still having a test, because of course there is no, when you are double vaccinated there is no 100 guarantee you are ok, the stats arent 100 , guarantee you are ok, the Stats Arent100 , and so testing is going to be round for a long time, there are lots and lots of initiatives going on to try and bring the price down, but of course at the end of the day, this is all new and in the hands of private company, and so, Thatis Hands of private company, and so, that is where we are at the moment, but i would say certainly within sixth months the cost also have Come Down, significantly. The sixth months the cost also have Come Down, significantly. Down, significantly. The summer will be over by then down, significantly. The summer will be over by then lisa down, significantly. The summer will be over by then lisa what down, significantly. The summer will be over by then lisa what is down, significantly. The summer will be over by then lisa what is your. Be over by then lisa what is your view on that . People have got used to the idea of being tested, they dont mind To Go on holiday, but they object to paying 2 or 300 quid per person, which for a family holiday, you end up paying more for the test than the flights. I totally sympathise, i have two small children and i will be doing the same. It is private companies and it seems weapon are penalising people who cant afford to pay for these things, it seems very unfair and i really hope it comes down sooner than six months actually. Great to talk to you, thank you for answering so clearly our viewers questions and that have been loads of questions but our thanks again there, to Lynn Hughes and lisa pandemic. Many thanks.
