I was doing bits and pieces at that time, but I was out for about six months from memory.

It just got pushed to the back of the mind.
But years later, that and other things came out.
I ended up being diagnosed with PTSD.
A lot of it, it happened in three areas really.
Some of it was to do with Rwanda when I was 20 years of age because I was on political risk there.
And it's something that stuck with me for the rest of my life because 800,000 people got slaughtered is the official figures.
My personal viewpoint, and this is just my personal viewpoint on the information I saw,
I would estimate it to be around about 1.1 million.
And I won't say on a podcast what they did out there, but those people were slaughtered by machete and gunshot.
And some of the things they did were absolutely horrific, you know, to children.
And not a lot of people in the UK knew about that.
I was 20 years of age when that was going on.
And we were dealing with political risk at the time.
