And I think one of the key things about Plymouth is we very much underutilise the facilities we've got here. You know, I think there's something like 70 miles of coastline in Plymouth if you take in the rivers, and, you know, most of that at one point was taken up by the MOD with either Navy or the RAF. But over the last 30 years or so, as these places have closed, it has opened up. So you think over at Mountbatten, I remember as a youngster that being an RAF base. And now, I love walking around there and taking the dog there and just looking at the boats. Yes, so that has been a good development encouraging people, pulling in people in and onto the water in the area again. The Hoe and waterfront area you know, that to me is also underdeveloped. I don't know about you but I swim a lot. And lately I have been going in the sea and trying to go all year round. And to me Tinside should be open all year round. Not from May till September. It's there's good especially since lockdown we've had the opportunity to, you know, people have started to go wild swimming and the benefits of that. Well, why aren't the council promoting that in a safe environment? It's cold water benefits of cold water is pretty it's good for you, you feel it, you go early enough in the morning, you do feel zingy for the rest of the day and, and that to me should be used all year round, or open all year round. Because the safety aspect of it of going in the sea.
