[1] – Andy was a Boys Brigade member and born-again Christian in his teens: I’m not sure what age exactly he converted away.
[2] – What really happened – it’s referred to in more detail here – is that Andy walked into the moped and knocked it over. Which took some doing, as it was parked at the time.
