0:00.0	Back in episode 44, Tim and I discussed an idea called professional complainers.
0:05.5	And the next episode we did a pilot of it where we kind of wrote some letters of complaint.
0:10.4	And now by popular demand, we're doing another episode of letters of complaint because well you asked for it.

1:27.0	I am aware this will result in the need to produce new signage and souvenir merchandise but I think this short-term pain will lead to long-term

1:33.0	Perhaps there could be a three or four week transition period where both names are valid.
1:38.0	I have attached a mock-up of an I-Heart Y-T shirt to give you a feel for the rebranding.
1:48.0	You may use this free of charge in any PowerPoint presentations etc.
1:53.0	As a courtesy, I will also write to the Lord Mayor of York
