I did learn to drive and then I got ill.

And when I got ill, I wasn't able to drive.

And then I stopped taking the amount of pills that I was, which meant I was able to drive.

And I just decided I just can't do it.

The same thing with alcohol.

I stopped drinking alcohol.

Then I stopped drinking caffeine then.

So all that stuff got cut out when I got ill and then I didn't bring it back.

And that included driving.

And I think that's better that, you know, but I, I failed my driving test five times.

I passed on my sixth attempt.

So, um, uh, you know, I was never particularly someone that would be of great use to the roads.

I had this condition called cholinergic urticaria, which is an allergy to heat.

So when I was in my final year of university, I had a sort of complete physical breakdown in that I became allergic to sunlight, radiators.

And finally, I became allergic to body movement because every time you move, you generate heat.

So I was flat on my back for six months, waiting for the pills to sort of kick in.

And then they found the right pill combination.

And then I was moving gradually.

And for about 15 years, I was quite seriously disabled by it.

No, no, it's fine.
