I was in the "secure document destruction" trade... It was long hours & heavy work, but I actually enjoyed it..

What about yourself??
I have my own business (electrician) and studying for a PMP (project management professional) also prince2 and agile, so when i am not working i am studying

Blimey Alan!! You gotta lot going on!!

Thank you everyone for sharing! Sometimes on a forum doing things like this helps break the ice and build relationships :) bit nicer than just commenting on random threads but actually getting to know the people we are talking to :)

And mark it's a very small world!!

I'm Kim and I live in Clitheroe in the Ribble Valley (posh speak for East Lancashire :) ). A few more miles and I would be in the west riding of Yorkshire. I can see Pendle Hill from my house - setting for novels "Mist over Pendle" and "Lancashire Witches".
