Hey, please keep quiet. Jill?

Please, this is very, very essential because we've had young men, you know, fall for these things that could be preventable.

Let's know because it's quite a bit different from Scotland and England.

Uh, sometime the fourteen years old, um, they do the job also by delivering the papers.

So sometimes fourteen. Guys, One House, One House, One House.

So have you checked? Did you check for that?

Yes. Okay. So now we have... One House, please.

Hey, please keep quiet. I don't want to see anybody on the TV, oh.

That and ignorance will not be an excuse, oh. So it's better you know.

The age, we've gotten seventeen, sixteen, and eighteen.

In England, correct, it's eighteen. England is eighteen. But in Scotland, it's sixteen.

So- But what's the- Sorry?

Sixteen years old- For what? -for consent.

Your age of consent. This is it. You might read that again. I beg. No, no, no, no.

It's sixteen years old.

The legal age of consent for sexual activity is sixteen in Scotland and even in England. What did I put in England?

Eighteen. So you are learning something new. I used to think it was eighteen, though.

The age applies to everyone regardless of gender, identity, or sexual orientation.

However, specific legal nuances and rules apply around this age limit.

So guys, we've got our answer. It's sixteen years old for both England and Scotland.

I see, I thought it was eighteen for England.

So we're all learning. So please, if you see a young person, ask their age.

In fact, ask for your ID card. Don't be deceived.

We have young persons growing bigger than their age.

In fact, fourteen years, twelve years, they're taller than myself.

So don't be deceived by the size. Ask questions, ask for their age before you go into any form of relationship, sexual intimacy with anybody. Whether it is a boy or a girl, it doesn't matter.

So we've got the answer from... Who gave us the first answer?

Uh, Michelle said that. No, she said eighteen.

All right, let's round of applause for this gentleman, please. Round of applause.

R- Guys, let's clap for him.
