4 years Army in the Signals, doing the same job overall as techs but I didn't have the qualifications to be a tech. Left after my 3+1 and applied for RAF (tech), Navy (Tiffy - passed the tests but I had to be signed on before my 21st birthday - my last day of service in the Army was the day before my 21st!); Police and Prison service - the only one I didn't get was the Police technically but took the Air Force as a Telecomms tech for 9 years

 

Meanwhile I was working as a second man delivering Guiness around the North West

 

Warburtons was working out of Bicester untill they had a new bakery built in London. First time I drove a truck (on the roads) was delivering bread around East London!! That was a bloody experience.

 

Funny enough, a few years latter I nearly had work to design a one off solution for the Labs in Bolton for Warburtons however the person wanting IT then left the company to go elsewhere so the project died

I think Bicester opened just after I left, furthest bakery South at the time was Nottingham, they had depots further south though,

 

It was when Warburtons wanted to go national.....

Grave digger also :good:

 

Relief recycling officer (bin man!)

 

Previously a cowman working ridiculous hours, money was good but no time for kids. Now I work Monday to Friday unless I'm sorting through people's rubbish.

 

Family first :)

 

I dug a few graves at bexleyheath cemetery soon after leaving school/college,also had to go over to the dartford areas and dig sometimes, funniest thing was when a dancer from a recruitment agency got sent over, the look on his face when he asked what we were doing, he was gone by lunchtime of his own accord!! Good times there and you certainly needed a sense of humour to put up with the laughs the seasoned diggers would try on!!

 

The best one was when I dug a reopener and was told it wasn't deep enough, another couple of inches mate, then the ground gave way and I was out that hole like a jack in the box, scared the **** out of me.

I'm a project design engineer. I design anything from architectural stair cases to factory machinery.

I was previously a precision machinist / cnc machinist.

I have done work for all sorts of industries from aerospace, robotics to food factories and construction.

Is your name Lister or are you referring to the engines of the same name :good: (if you don't mind me asking)
