That's something Jimmy is going to take from this experience, and it's going to be with him his whole life.

So the war ended and the Bevan boys started deserting the mines because they didn't want to work in a mine anymore.

It sucks.

Davies, his biographer, suspects that Savile was a repeat work skipper even before the war ended.

And basically that he was never working as much as he should have.

He was kind of skipping out a lot of the time, even from the jump.

Now, this is important.

Because every version of the Jimmy Savile story includes him being horribly maimed in a mining accident, which is why he stops doing the work.

However, I can't say that this really happened or when it would have happened.

He gives different dates for when this mining accident happened every time he talks about it.

He claims to be a different age when this happens every time he talks about it.

And he gives kind of differing accounts about how it happened.

His initial claims about how bad this injury was and when it happened simply can't have been true because the age he claims to have been when he was – and he says this is serious enough that he's basically unable to move right for months.

This can't have happened because the age that he does that, we know that he was participating in like a bike race through France.

There was a post-war like a big like bike marathon basically, and we know he's in it.

So it can't have happened then.

It's really it's unclear to me what actually went down here.

I found a CNN article that describes him as having suffered a serious spinal injury.

And Jimmy did keep a surgical support jacket that he said he was made to wear as he was recuperating from the injury.

So he probably got hurt to some extent.
