[laughs] So I have two children. They were born ’83 and ’86 and when I was on call, when the telephone rang my children would sit down and they'd say, ‘Dr Hull here. Box 153, uhum, uhum, take two paracetamol and ring back.’ [laughs] So they'd got the script absolutely perfect [laughs]. But yeah, of course, it had an impact. Luckily, I think my family were pretty tolerant of it. But it does curtail where you can go, what you do, and so you’re just very aware all the time that things are going to be interrupted.
