What's your brew, as in life trade
Johnwebley:
started as an apprentice typewriter engineer in the mid 60's,
that went on to doing service calls to offices filled with lovely typists,
went into office supplies sales,made lots of friends and clients,
but glad I am retired now,
with the internet, customers pick your brains,ask advise ,then buy online,
even had a customer complain the printer she bought online was the wrong one for her,so I asked,why did you buy it?
typical reply,because it was cheaper !!!!!

Nurse Julie:
Qualified Nurse since 1981. Last 'proper' job before retirement was a Senior Clinical Specialist Orthopaedic Nurse specialising in complex joint replacement surgery.
Nursing has always paid the bills but was never my real passion. I have led a double life......as a Car Dealer. I have worked at New and Used car dealerships, I have been a self employed used car trader and have been a co-owner of a Franchised Land Rover dealership employing over 50 staff. Cars and motorbikes have always been my real passion in life and although I would call myself an extremely competent nurse, I would say I am s**t hot at buying and selling anything on 2 or 4 wheels.

Strange mix for some maybe but I never wanted to be a Nurse. I had hoped to do a Mechanics apprenticeship at the local Honda dealer in Tunbridge Wells but they wouldn't take me on because I was 17....and female (this was in the late 70's!!!) anyway, the hospital was opposite the bike shop so I went over and applied for Nurse training and got accepted. I was buying bikes and selling them whilst doing the Nurse training to get extra money and it carried on from there. So it all seems very normal to me
Oh, and as much as I love these old Hondas and really enjoy owning them and more to the point , riding them, Brit bikes are really my thing.
