[00:00:00]You had a brilliant story [laughter] about going on a milk float. And you've got a great story about a kind of electrical accident that happened to George, but he then he thought that it happened to you. So, can you just tell people what happened there?

[00:00:12]>> Yeah. Well, we we were hitchhiking and we got a lift from a milk float at about 4 mph, but it was a lift. So, we were quite happy. The driver was sitting on the right-hand side. Then there was a battery in the middle and then there was the passenger seat on the left-hand side. And George Harrison sat on the battery. Everything's going fine. We're going along and we're getting our lift and then suddenly bang!

[00:00:37]He jumps up.

[00:00:39]>> [laughter] >> "What's that? What's wrong?" And he had a pair of jeans with a zip on the pocket and it had connected with the two points.

[00:00:48]>> I thought No, on the [laughter] crotch.

[00:00:49]>> No, it wasn't the crotch. No, this was his back pocket. He jumps up and he "Ah, bloody and the it had connected up and the battery had given him a bolt."

[00:00:59]And later when we we got to our B&B, he showed me. Yeah, he had a great big uh zip tattooed into his bum.

[00:01:09]But But and the point of what you were saying was So, that was always my story and I told it to people. Then I met Olivia Harrison, George's widow, quite recently and she was saying, "Oh, I love that story of you and George going down to Wales and and you sitting on the battery and it connecting and you got a scar on your bum." I said, "Oh, it wasn't it wasn't me. It was George." But I think it's amazing the way memory does that.

[00:01:42]It can just morph.
