Me well WORK is a 4 letter word that can be thought but not spoken. Trained a mechanical engineer back in late 60's early 70's , the company were going through a bad patch ( a bit like today's industry) being junior person I lost my job and the only one's available were either abroad or hundreds of miles away from home which I could not leave due family circumstances.

I spent 30 years doing what Sulisuli wanted to be , after 10 years was put on a computer course ( they were early computers in those days) ended up spending 20 years running various computers and training. I now spend most of my time on my hobby. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.

I breed these, with the help and expertise of my parents. These were first prize continental at Skipton sale last year. We used to go properly showing with some serious placings at the Great Yorkshire Show but really it is a lot of work to be up to snuff with very little reward beyond the pride and that doesn't pay the bills. Whereas first prize at a sale tends to get your sheep in the front of the buyers mind and that usually equates to getting paid strong money. Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.
