We've even had direct evidence from some of them where you have their last meals preserved of, say, fish and squid.
But there's a few that have marine reptiles preserved in their stomach and hatchling turtles.
And one of them even contained a bird.
Goodness me.
They were, yeah.
My mum and my dad were really supportive.
I have an older brother and sister, Scott and Julie.
And at a point during my, I guess, early teen years or a little bit before that, my parents split up.
And so I lived in a one-parent household for a number of years where...
We'd struggle to pay the rent, but Mum always did her best to provide for us.
And she made sure that we had a wonderful, wonderful childhood.
But yeah, growing up in Balby in Doncaster was quite difficult as well.
It was quite a tough environment.
It's certainly one of the most socioeconomically deprived areas in the UK and especially where I grew up.
To be blunt, it was a very rough area to grow up in, to the point, Jim, where even if you were walking to school or walking back from school, there'd always be a little bit of a fear that you might get jumped or something like that walking to school.
And it was literally like that.
There were occasionally people turning up in school with knives and things like that.
So it was quite difficult.
I always say like I had a good close knit community of friends.
But yeah, there was always that in the back of your mind.
