A positive thank you? Yes, I'm very sincere when I say 'thank you'. I do have some more questions. Could I move on to applications that can't be made in the final 12 months of the scheme? I note that this provision is, again, subject to the discretion of the operator, and that the operator may determine that there are exceptional circumstances justifying the application being made. Could you outline what would constitute these exceptional circumstances, because, in effect, this takes it to being a nine-year scheme rather than a 10-year scheme, other than under exceptional circumstances?
