    I was a printer for 36 years, was made redundant in 2008 for the third time, 1980,1999 the other two. Decided to get out of printing but at my age there are not too many opportunities. Took my SIA security badge and was a security guard for a few weeks then a driving job came up so i took that. I now work for Crown Records Management as a driver/ warehouse operative. been there close on 6 years now.

    I'm a soldier, in the R.E.M.E (royal electrical and mechanical engineers) and a mechanic by trade, can fix a lot of different equipment from generators to battle tanks to current operational kit that we use in place such as Afghanistan.
    Traveled the world and been to places such as Kenya, Jordan, Canada, belieze and done 2 operational tours of Afghanistan.
    Been in the army nearly 8 years, currently a lance corporal and looking to promote to corporal this year.
    Love my job, just don't like the amount of time I spend away from the wife.

    Dream of being a bike mechanic and having my own garage or own my own instructors school when I leave :)

    Me, I am a self employer Chartered Engineer, mechanical bias who works in the building construction, refurbishment and maintenance arena.

    Not long to retirement, sometime within the next 18 months, cannot make up my mind precisely when as yet.

    On the side I became a driving Instructor a few years ago just because I wanted too, then started Observing in an IAM motorcycle group.
