Okay, Adena, so happy birthday. You're a pundra today, aren't you?
00:04
Happy birthday.
00:05
Yeah, fantastic. How are you feeling? Are you okay?
00:09
Yes, thank you.
00:10
Yeah, good, good. Now, I've got to say, you've had a few cars, haven't you?
00:14
I have.
00:15
So how many do you think you've had, around 300?
00:18
They're all very nice cars.
00:20
How many, sorry?
00:21
Very nice.
00:22
Oh, they are very nice, aren't they? So, Matthew, how many are there?
00:27
So, we're estimating we've got about 500.
00:30
Goodness me, that's incredible.
00:31
But we are yet to count.
00:33
Yes, yes, it's incredible, isn't it, really?
00:35
Yeah, amazing.
00:36
So, where have they all come from?
00:37
So, we've had it from the local area, we've had West Midlands Fire Service, West Midlands Ambulance Service,
00:45
card companies have sent us, Card Factory, Moon Pig.
00:50
So, how did you generate so many cars for Adena?
00:53
So, we advertised it on my personal Facebook page and the local Her Screen Community Watch page,
01:00
contacted the local mayor and Stuart Henley, the local councillor, has been massive support as well with collecting cards.
01:09
So, it's been a great turnout.
01:11
It is, it's incredible. So, what's going to happen to them all?
01:14
So, we're going to keep them for a few days.
01:18
Yes.
01:19
And then Adena will get a chance to read them all and send thank you cards.
01:25
And we're going to say a big thank you on Facebook, aren't we?
01:30
That's going to be a lot of thank you cards, isn't it?
01:35
I should start writing now, Adena, I think.
01:38
Anyway, happy birthday, have a lovely day and it's amazing to see all the cards, it's fantastic.
