Have you got one of those car dealer sheepskin coats and an old copy of Glasses guide to prices Julie. :)

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

small world julie, I lived in Medway then, and was sub contracting at the old powder mills at Leigh that's where I copped the mercury poisoning in the mid eighties, was always in and out of Tunbridge Wells.

Couldn't wait to leave school. Got a job at Thomas & Betts making emergency lighting for plains and ships incredibly boring
5am starts but good money got the job because my Mum and Aunt worked there. My Aunt (Aka the Witch) sacked me after three months for being too efficient. ???
Then went to collage for three years as an apprentice carpenter. Told the lecturer what I thought of him just before qualifying so no paperwork to say I'm competent. Been self employed since working as a decorator/carpenter running a joint decorating business with my dad. I don't think I can do it for much longer as its hard to manage more than four painters at one time (you need to hold there hands and tie there laces for them)

Gosh, not a nice poisoning to have Kevski. Tunbridge Wells is my home town and Cleares was the Honda dealership.
