Ray, I'm just on here to set the record straight. Put my hands up, it was me, I'm guilty. I drove over the Anderson footbridge this morning and it was very, very embarrassing. You might have seen it on TikTok. Um, and I just wanted to tell you what actually happened and why I done that. Um, it's easily done, especially when you go to a sip and sell event in Motherwell and you spend 12 hours in traffic jam. I didn't get home till 10 o'clock the next morning. Um, I was dehydrated, I was malnourished, I was seeing things in the sky that weren't there. Hallucinations. And I just, I thought it was a road and it ended up being a bridge. I started driving and I'm going down and down and down and down and then I realized I was on a bridge. It was really embarrassing. And then I can't really reverse. So I had to take another hour to reverse back out again. Um, but yeah, that's why, because I went to the sip and sell event and I was stuck in traffic for 12 hours. And I'm sure you'll be driving over bridges if you've done that as well. But yeah, just wanted to say, you know, we all make mistakes and, um, yeah, that's why.
