00:00Yeah, they've shut down a lot of the older factories now, so it's definitely lessened,
00:04I think, but I know a lot of the ground is still contaminated, and I suppose with a lot of the
00:08main roads with Newport, it sort of has that local pollution, I suppose, but there's not really roads
00:13going around Newport. Everyone has to come through to get to Cardiff, Bristol, wherever. So yeah,
00:18I suppose it would be nice to maybe have some changes there. If they can divert some of the
00:23traffic, that would be a bit better. Now, having lived in Asia for 16 years, I find this country
00:29pretty clean. Yeah, obviously with factories, ironworks, steelworks, it's obviously terrible,
00:37the amount of every energy and all the things that it's bad, rubbish, litter, it's terrible.
00:42Not that bad, because when I came from, because I lived in Newport, when I was younger, and I
00:51couldn't believe all the pukes up there, so Wales is not so bad, no, definitely not. One
