Welcome, parents of 2021, to our end-of-year assembly.
I hope you got the Zoom code okay, and that you appreciate, on a call of this size, it’s better if we all just stay on mute. Yes, Simon, that includes you.
I’m waiting.
Thank you.
Well, look, it’s been a year. We would say unprecedented, but 2020 pretty much precedented it for us, so instead let’s call it... challenging.
Watch: The things you never say in 2021. Post continues below.
Before you raise it, Louise, we know that there are people for whom it was more challenging than others. Care-givers in different cities within our own country had very different experiences, and we shall try not to fight about that.
We also acknowledge that there are many other parts of the world where the toll has been greater, access to health care and vaccines and government support more tenuous. We respect and acknowledge that.
But still, parents, I think we can all agree that things have not been ideal.
Parts of 2021 have, let’s face it, been a bin fire.
