And the purpose of that is to give you a view not only of the numbers of the environment that it currently exists both from a group point of view and each of the divisions and what they’re facing and some of the issues that affect their business.
And I want to start off with the group because we put out a trading statement about 2 months ago. And obviously, you’ve all seen the trading statement and it showed our figures, our results were going to be somewhere between 38% and 42% down. And immediately, I started getting questions from the market and from friends and everybody about Oceana. Was Oceana in trouble, what was happening. And it made me think a bit about where Oceania is quite right now. And the more I thought about it, the more
