00:00Well, Annick, because I'm born and bred there and Annick Castle because it's fantastic and
00:07the people obviously and there's just so many nice little villages around, so many nice
00:11rivers, the, you know, walks. It's just generally nice, it's safe.
00:17Probably Byker.
00:19Byker.
00:20Definitely not Byker.
00:21Not Byker. Not Byker.
00:22I think Newcastle's the best place. I've lived up and down the country. I've lived in London,
00:27Oxford, the Midlands, Manchester. Halifax is my hometown. I've spent time with family
00:36in Scotland as well. Scotland is out of this world. But Newcastle, I would say by far,
00:42it's a hidden gem that not many people know about. And when my friends come up from London,
00:46they love it to bits. And if you know Londoners and you know Cockneys, they've got London
00:52in the blood. For them, Watford is up north. So Newcastle, for them, is a breath of fresh
00:56air. They just love it and they love the people and that's what makes the difference.
