And 00:00:30.674 -- 00:00:35.721 I'm sure that a lot of people today just want to talk about the cyber 00:00:35.721 -- 00:00:38.284 incident which happened after the year end. 00:00:38.284 -- 00:00:44.969 And of course that's understandable because it is interesting, important and different. 00:00:44.969 -- 00:00:50.078 After all, it's not every day you get a bunch of criminals, probably 00:00:50.078 -- 00:00:56.446 the other side of the world, trying to bring down one of Britain's most popular companies. 00:00:56.470 -- 00:00:58.650 As a result, 00:00:58.714 -- 00:01:02.581 last year's results seem like ancient history. 00:01:02.581 -- 00:01:07.622 But we should talk about them. because they demonstrate what 00:01:07.622 -- 00:01:11.389 a reshaped M&S can achieve. 00:01:11.389 -- 00:01:17.379 Exceptional performance in sales, market share, profits 00:01:17.379 -- 00:01:20.341 and cash flow. And 00:01:20.565 -- 00:01:25.574 we're only halfway through our programme of reshaping the business, 00:01:25.574 -- 00:01:28.557 so there's so much more to come. 00:01:28.557 -- 00:01:33.828 So yes, the cyber attack has given us pause for thought and yes, 00:01:33.828 -- 00:01:38.257 we will need to bring forward some of our technology programmes t...
