00:00Marco Longhi, hello sir, how are you?
00:02I'm very well, thank you. It's great to be back in former passages here in Cedgly, but people know I'm always out and about around here.
00:09So you've popped in just to support a new business here, yeah?
00:12Yes, the Cozy Bean, and Aidan here is super busy, as you can see.
00:16There are huge queues coming in, every single table is taken, and this is Cedgly for you.
00:21You know, people always want to support a local business that's prepared to put money where its mouth is.
00:26And so, all credit to Aidan, especially in these times when you've got Labour trying to kill off every single possible business and hiking taxes up.
00:34But clearly, there's huge community support here for what Aidan's trying to achieve.
00:38Great stuff. Well, thank you for coming down and sharing your support to Aidan.
00:41Fantastic, thank you.
00:42Unlock it. Come here, Theo.
00:47So, Marco, we've found Malbred, we've torn her away from the town and making the bruise. It's busy, isn't it?
00:52It's very busy, yes.
00:54Crazy. So, it's you and your partner, is it?
00:56Yeah, it's me and my husband, yes.
00:57So, it's you and Aidan, that's right, isn't it?
01:00Aidan, yeah.
01:00So, are you local to here, then?
01:01Yeah, we live on this site on the north way.
01:04Fantastic.
01:04So, has it always kind of been in the back of your mind, oh, I'd love to have a little cafe, is that...?
01:08Yeah, absolutely. For the eight years that we've lived on the north way, it's the first thing we said when we moved it on to here.
01:15Yeah, yeah.
01:15Oh, wow.
01:16Are you regretting that today?
01:18No, it's good, it's really good.
01:19Yeah, I mean, the queuing outside, there's a huge queue inside as well.
01:23You'll sleep well tonight, won't you?
01:24I will, yeah.
01:25That's for sure.
01:26And it's nice to have the support of Marco, isn't it, coming down to kind of...?
01:29Yeah, absolutely. The more people we can get here, the better, just to get people into the community back together again.
01:34Yep, absolutely.
01:35And, yeah, just bring a community hub here to Sedgley and the north way precinct again.
01:41Great stuff. Well, we wish you all the best. Take care, guys. Thank you very much.

01:58What do you think of the new cafe, then?
02:00I just think it's important to support local businesses.
02:04Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:04It's a really nice spot, a really nice location.
02:07Cool.
02:08And what does...
02:08I hope it goes well for him.
02:09And what does Little Nipper think?
02:11He thinks he likes Daddy's watch.
02:13He does, yeah, yeah.
02:15He had a croissant, yeah, and he loved it.
02:17Did he?
