Off Topic Where are you from and what do you do?
In a nutshell Chas, you're no spring chicken! :devil:
Very astute of you:slayer:
I'm originally from Co Down, now living in Belfast.
My dad owned a pub so I worked in that from an early age. My first real job was in the bookies. I retired from that to the Civil Service 18 years ago. Worked in the JobCentre for a while which led me back to another stint in the head office of another bookies in the evening for a few years. Finally gave that up when I got promoted to become a statistician. Working in Stormont (in the sheds out the back) for the last 12 years.

Born in London NW3 but live in mid-Suffolk. 55, two daughters, married the same woman twice (1981-1990, and 2006-present).
Self-employed training/management development consultant, working with senior business leaders/civil servants all over the world: sounds glamorous, but consists mainly of standing around in airports on a Friday night, wondering if bleedin' Easyjet (or whoever) are actually going to show up....
I enjoy coming back to my family, home and cars.

Born in Hamilton, NZ, 1980.
After getting my degree as an electronics engineer, I worked in a small business for two years making traffic sign controls and a digital measuring wheel.
I was made redundant and found a new job teaching financial people how to use Excel. I've been doing this for 12 years though I have left the company twice and most of my time is now spent writing articles, editing videos, and running Webinars for accountants and CFOs. Last year I commuted to Australia and back nine times in nine months, to run training courses. Lots of time spent in airports wondering if Qantas/Jetstar are showing up...! Last year I went to PNG as well.
At the end of April, I'll be leaving the company permanently and from August till November, I'll be working as a FIAT/Alfa Romeo parts specialist - something I have done for 2-3 month stints in previous years.

I am from Cyprus, studying law at Sheffield Uni. Moving to Manchester soon to start my first job.
Born and raised in Mid Wales, where I saw (and immediately fell in love with) my first Fiat Uno. Exiled to Cornwall, then Leeds and now Liverpool.
I'm a writer and freelance communications consultant, currently developing and redeveloping corporate websites. Hey, it pays the bills.

Born and lived in North Shields, Tyne and Wear until I was 4 years old. My family moved to South Africa where I was raised. Lived there for 25 years...Returned to England 9 years ago and am now living in Maidstone Kent. I have a Bsc Hons Computing and have been in the IT industry for over 20 years.
Took my Dad's Toyota Cressida for a joyride at 17 and crashed it. My best friend's Dad owned an auto/body shop and I was forced to work through my summer holidays doing all the grunt work. This is when my passion for cars started. I also volunteer at my local garage as a "Mechanics helper / enthusiast" whenever I have spare time
