00:04so you'll know it looks like this, but it's just money making getting fake ones isn't it?

00:08Some people can't afford the real ones so they're going for the fake ones, just it's all money making.

00:13So yeah, some things that I have bought online have came out as like a BTEC version of it

00:18and I'm thinking like how did this happen?

00:21But then I think, not to be rude, but some things that you see online now are looking so realistic

00:26like AI for example, and then you may be thinking oh right like...

00:30No, not for me.

00:32Not that I've been aware of having bought anything that's counterfeit.

00:35And as for your toy question, it's been many a year since I've had to buy a toy.

00:39So it really is, I wouldn't know.

00:43Yes, I've seen TV programmes where they're talking about they've seized counterfeit toys

00:49because of the toxicity in their paints and things like that.

00:52But I wouldn't be able to really comment anymore because I don't purchase toys and things like that.
