We still haven't had a report... on the extent and what in the nature is of the rack of concrete. Is it in planks? Is it in situ? We don't know. We're rather putting the cart before the horse by trying to get rid of all our staff without actually knowing what we're going to have to do to the building to put it right and how... Sorry, Chairman, and how long it's going to take.

And I think, to me, if I was in charge of the building, that would have been the first thing I would have done, find out what's wrong and how long it's going to take and how much it's going to cost. And I think that's what ought to be done. APPLAUSE

Someone else is with me here now, and I can't quite work out what it is that you were running into. It's an octopus mascot costume from Better Leisure. The Leisure Centre's in Hawley, Donnings in Redhill, Dorking and Leatherhead. I'm an assistant manager at Dorking. My name's Michael. Considering it's so overcast, I was surprised at quite how warm it was.

I did the 10k at Gatwick earlier in the year in the mascot costume as well. That was hot and heavy.

Yeah, you don't have any airflow in it, so it does get a bit sweaty. OK, so you reckon you've lost a few pounds? Probably, yeah. The flat's not too bad. The uphill's obviously a struggle because your pace slows down so you've got even less airflow. And the downhill, because the visibility's not great out of it, you have to be really careful about where you're stepping. None of it's easy.

But that's the kind of point, really, isn't it? Yeah, exactly.
