Good morning, everyone. Thank you very much for joining us. With me, as usual, is Bruce Van Saun, our Finance Director; Richard O'Connor, who you also know, Head of Investor Relations. The -- this morning, a slightly different format than other half years, because obviously, we're not doing a physical presentation. I hope all of you have seen our physical presentation via webcast, which was up for 7:00 this morning in addition to our releases. And in that context, therefore, we're not going to re-go over that ground, and we're really going to spend this morning's session answering any questions that you may have which, of course, Richard can do afterwards if we don't get to all of them.

So let me simply say by way of introduction that I believe RBS is making good progress, albeit, clearly, we're doing it in the face of a set of challenging conditions in economic and regulatory terms. We have 2 jobs, as you know. The clean-up job, I think, continues to go well. We're on course for the 5-year timetable we set out. And on every measure, we're getting stronger and safer, important in these difficult times and in showing how we can ride through some of the current storms that have been going on in financial markets.
