And a biscuit in the United States doesn't mean anything, and a biscuit in the UK means a cookie, it's a cracker cookie, it's a common, it is a cookie, like an oatmeal cookie, that's the way I, Taste it, that's what it tastes like. There's really no equivalent in the United States. So they ran a poll, it was very interesting because there, it was a definite choice here. So there was four, rich tea, bourbon, hobnob, and fig roll. And I think I have tried fig roll it's not my thing. Philip Totaro: Chocolate digestive isn't even one of the how do, this is not a legitimate poll. I'm sorry this, if chocolate digestive is not on the list, then we have a problem. Joel Saxum: That's what we, that we eat, there's a box of them in the, in our living room right here, so again, my better half from Newfoundland they were the last British colony in Canada. So we drink tea and have digestives. Allen Hall: When you have tea, you can't have chocolate and tea. Those two just do not go together. It's so uncouth. The Queen would never do that. It's almost like gingerbread. So the survey results are really fascinating. 61 percent of your wind turbine technicians in the UK prefer hobnobs. Philip Totaro: Alright, that I believe. But again, they weren't given the option of chocolate digestives, so I still think this is not a legitimate poll. Joel Saxum: He did throw some chocolate in there because the bourbon is chocolate. It has a chocolate cream filling. , right? It's not bourbon flavored. It doesn't have bourbon in it. Philip Totaro: Although if it did, that might be number one, Joel. Joel Saxum: And when farm sites, I think that the bourbon cookie is, it's named after some like French Aristo aristocracy. Allen Hall: But I, if we're gonna ask the same question in the United States, I'm not even sure what the list would consist of. And I think that was what my, piqued my curiosity is if we're talking about cookies, we get rid of all the illicit things, right? Now we're down to Oreos, some sort of chocolate chip cookie. What else? Twinkies? Ho Hos? Joel Saxum: You got to say, you got to say what's for, what's the most popular lunch thing, right? It's going to change. Oh yeah. Yeah. Like the most popular lunch I would say probably in Texas is. Burritos or tacos? Because there's literally taco trucks that pull up to O& M buildings and sell tacos at lunchtime. Allen Hall: That's just true. See, but there's a difference in the UK because they have a break, right? There's a there's a morning tea break that happens. Yeah, like America we have to work through till dinnertime, but if you were to have a break in America Say at 10 a. m. right? You say, okay, I've been working since six. It's 10 a. m. It's black coffee. It's just black coffee. Oh, that it may be just black coffee.
