I mean, not just, I'm not seeing my mum, but my mum's at home sick.

I think he said she'd come over and saw him twice in the space of those six years and she told him, do not come home, do not come home, practice, practice, practice.

And then for her to be there, obviously, and I only fully appreciated the emotion on her face after reading about the backstory, but it is a remarkable backstory.

That's amazing.

I didn't know that.

God.

Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

So it wasn't just like, oh, they're upper middle class and they can afford to move to Sheffield.

It was no fun over here.

Not at all.

Not at all, no.

That's amazing.

Amazing.

Yeah.

And it's such a lovely thing you mentioned, like, because I...

trying to watch a lot of sports.

And so I was in on the Ronnie train early, watched the Higgins match and then sort of probably fell out of it a bit because there's so much on and then came back for this weekend.

And so straight away, what jumps off the page to me is, geez, here we have Sean Murphy, who's been the bridesmaid so often and is English.
