How has the business and economic sort
0:01

0:04

0:10
less fun in some cases. There's a bit
0:12
less boozing going on. Would you like to
0:14
see a return to those days? Well, I'm
0:17
But look, I mean, the city is still
0:19
fulfilling the the function that it has
0:21
been for 3 400 years. You know, it's a
0:24
place where investors come together with
0:26
people who require capital. Sometimes
0:28

0:31
the future? If you're talking about the
0:34
few months, possibly not. But over the
0:36
longer term, yeah, most definitely.
