[00:43:02] S1: The best question. If only there was one. [00:43:05] S0: I [00:43:08] S1: think they're always quite interested in knowing a bit about what makes me tick and why I want to be in this curious role. Is it curious? It is a weird role if [00:43:27] S0: you because think about the [00:43:28] S1: you're sort of playing a part in some ways because people have an impression of how the head should be. I told a story at Founders Day at the end of last year that a couple of weeks after when I arrived at Lancing I to take the bin out, I don't know if you have to do this in Hong Kong the same way, but I had to take the bin out from my headmaster's house and it was late at night and I was in my jogging bottoms and I thought oh gosh, the headmaster can't take the bin out in his jogging bottom, so I went back into the house and I put trousers on, dressed up, to go outside in the middle of the night to put the bin out and I thought that's just absurd isn't it? I don't need to do that. This idea of having to play a part is something that I've stopped doing and I'm just more naturally me and I'm quite keen to talk to parents about who I am and what interests me and why I do this job. Those conversations can be quite revealing. [00:44:32] S0: I'm sure they should be interested in who is running the school because I do feel to a certain extent everything flows down from the top. But yeah, it's been great to get to know you. I'd love to come to the school [00:44:43] S1: next Do please visit.
