    David - its the environment you work in and the people you work with that makes the difference to any job.  Are your work mates a good lot?

  • Used to be a Chemical Process Operator . Just been made redundant, I'm no

    spring chicken , so if I don't find something else soon I may just take my pension.

    Money would be tight but I'd be able to do the garden justice at last.image

  • Used to work in the steel works before Maggie put paid to that in the late eighties, took a job with a distribution/logistics company in 1990, i can mind thinking at the time  "it will do for now till i get something else"  24 years later i am still there, done various jobs within that sector, though must admit i have found myself daydreaming of doing something more relaxing lately, kids growing up fast, mortgage paid off, something i can make a couple of bob at to keep me ticking over, something that i will enjoy though, O/L do you know of any openings in the male model game? image
