An accident happened in the wartime mines in Britain on average every six minutes.

Good.

And a miner was killed every six hours.

It really wasn't that much safer than just going and fighting the Nazis.

They say you get to travel.

Anything.

Always wanted to go to France.

Oh, wow.

Oh, no.

Africa.

Very bad in there.

Well, many of the records of the Bevan boys were also unfortunately destroyed in a fire.

But at the very least, we do know that Jimmy Savile's timeline does not make any sense.

If Jimmy Savile was hurt when he said he was hurt, then it would have been impossible for him to appear at the age of 21 as an extra in the 1948 film, A Boy, A Girl, and A Bike, in which Savile appears for a few seconds in the film's climax, riding in a Yorkshire bike race.

But Jimmy's sister Joan did confirm that her brother was indeed in a dire accident in the mines.

But Savile used this accident as another way to make himself miraculous.

He said he dedicated himself from that point forward to becoming physically fit, and he became well known for constantly riding his bicycle around Leeds.

This is also around the time that Jimmy Savile developed an all-consuming obsession with money, and he was constantly on the lookout for the best ways to exploit people while distracting them with his increasingly odd mannerisms.

Now, Jimmy's main black market business was selling scrap metal.

This, as we all know, is just about the lowest rung on the criminal ladder.
