    I'm not, but I would have a ruddy good look!

    The SE qualification thing was just a matter of me not completing the last two years, CBA'ED the firm I worked for were pants at paying the proper rate and there was no other way of completing it without their help, so I left after 8 years there and went lorry driving. Talk about a diverse career change.

    Yep,sort of. I was trainee transport manager for the first year, then the TM retired and I was thrust into that job and all the training and qualifications that went with that job. Then a year or so later They asked me to go on a government initiative to become the company SE while still managing transport. I worked and studied so hard for those 8 years and when I was a fully qualified TM and part qualified SE I asked for a salary raise ( I was paid less than factory hands ) I was told I had to wait another year, so I left and used the HGV licence they had put me through to move on to pastures new. I am not complaining. It was a gas at the time, but I would never have stuck it or enjoyed the confines of that type of job. Too much responsibility and too many egos to massage along the way.

    I once viewed a house with a mate, there was a fireplace in the lounge, nothing above it in the bedroom directly above and a chimney stack sitting on 2 wooden props on the ceiling joists in the loft. Apparently it had been swept within the last 3 months and passed the smoke test......:confused:

    I think the owners were French!!:eek:
