Speaker 1: Chief guest, other invited guests, univited guests, neighbours, men, women, children, everybody, everything, ladies and gentlemen, blah, blah, blah, all protocol observed! Goodmorning! Goodmorning again! Please turn to your neighbours and greet them! (1 hour)
Speaker 3: Chief guest, other invited guests, univited guests, neighbours, men, women, children, everybody, everything, ladies and gentlemen, blah, blah, blah, all protocol observed! Goodmorning! Goodmorning again! Greet your neighbour! (2 hours)
