Okay, JW8S, then I'll continue in. And I took him out, so he got the basic gear changes up and down the box, braking, coming to a stop safely, a little bit of reversing, one very, very quiet T-junction, just to get him, just get the basics familiar for him and the confidence of being able to stop it when he needs to, and that kind of stuff. So he's had now, well, he's had three lessons with a professional driving instructor and he's doing really, really well. So he's got his fourth one now because he's back in school, the driving instructor is quite happy to actually do the lessons around his school timetable because now he's in year 13 over here. He got a staggered timetable, it's not the set time from start, let's say 9 a.m. and finish at 3 p.m. He got to go in further at the start of the day, but after his last lesson, he can come home and just got to sign himself out. So he's out of statutory education, the statutory education, he got to be there for the fixed period of time each day. So he's working with his driving instructor to get along around his school timetable, which is absolutely fantastic. And on his second lesson, he took his driving instructor because he was changing gear and without being asked to do so, he was going to change gear as a speed increase of the vehicle. And so the driving instructor, he decided to take him down a road, which is a road that students don't normally get to go down to and go further along, you know, with a lot more lessons. And it's rather bendy, it gets narrow, some of the bends are greater than 90 degrees, you come back on yourself. And Sue, my XYL, MW7-SDI, had never been that far down that particular road. So when we went out for a meal, we were just not far from there, so we went down that road just to show her exactly what Declan achieved, which is absolutely fantastic. He's doing really, really well. And thanks for asking there, Mike. And I'm waffling on. I'll put it back to you. KC9LRB, 28SZL.
