Vehicles we knew that were electric when about four miles an hour, but it was a lift So we were quite happy the driver was sitting on the right-hand side There was a battery in the middle and then there was the passenger seat in the left-hand side and George sat on the battery George Harrison sat on the battery and Everything's going fine.
We're going along we're getting our lift and then suddenly pow
And he jumps up, I go, what's that, what's wrong?
And he had a pair of jeans with a zip on the pocket and it had connected with the two points.
No, it wasn't the crotch.
No, this was his back pocket.
So he jumps up and, oh, bloody, and it had connected up and the battery had given him a bolt.
And later when we got to our B&B, he showed me, yeah, he had a great big zip tattooed into his bum.
But, but, and the point of what you were saying was, so that was always my story.
And I told it to people.
Then I met Olivia Harrison, George's widow, quite recently.
And she was saying, oh, I love that story of you and George going down to Wales and you sitting on the battery.
And it connecting and you got a scar on your bum.
I said, it wasn't me.
It was George.
But I think it's amazing the way memory does that.
It can just morph.
That's very true.
And that is history.
