And you've got to find a way around it.

And so when I grew up, there was a lot of joy.

I think everyone was just so glad.

to be out of these terrible circumstances.

And my uncles were all great joke tellers, and I never heard any of them sort of sitting around going, oh God, life's terrible, you know.

There was none of that.

It just, they'd come through it, and so it kind of wasn't allowed.

Yeah, I think so.

You know, as I say, all of us grew up expecting

to go in the army or national service.

So we were all kind of coasting through our teenage years thinking, oh my God, it's gonna happen soon.

And then suddenly it was as if God opened the waters and the Israelites could just go through.

And that was us.

We suddenly, all of that had gone, except for the evidence of it.

So where we played football would be on what we called the bommie, which was the bomb site.

And we didn't think anything of it.

It was just the bommie.

But later, then you go, why did we call it the bommie?

Also, if there's an unexploded bomb.

But, you know, so that was all around us.
