    What is your job, and do you enjoy it, if retired, same applies, what was? Do you expect to spend the rest of your working life in your current job?


    Is your current job, the best you have had, if not what was? On the flip side is your current job the worst you have ever had, if not what was?

    What realistically, would be your ideal/dream job..........realistically.













    well i am sick of reading about Wickham or Borini.

    My jobs ok. I shift ships crew between vessels. My boss is great and the beer here is cheap. I could do with a bit more money though. It's took me along time to feel this comfortable at work so i'm happy where i am. (the grass isn't always greener) #

    take note Mr Whickham and Borini.

    My old man was a Miller at Baker Perkins for years. He always came home smelling of metal and picking bits of metal filings from his fingers. I miss the old bugger..every day. :(

    Having a great time since selling a totally different business in another country.

    My and our lass transport mainly antiques around the UK and only go to places we want to visit.

    In the last few months we've been to Whitby, Dorset, Devon, the Lakes, Brecon Beacons and the NW corner of the Highlands.

    We just spent 2 days walking the Cheviots and came back with a decent profit after delivering to Coldstream.

    Once the season starts we'll arrange deliveries around matches so we can earn money and get to all the games free.

    I have to say I never really appreciated just how beautiful Great Britain was.

    Bit of a change from your last one then? Sounds like you are happy and totally relaxed about it all..that's a good thing.

    Definatly my worst job was working in a Bacon factory. It was a 2 hour journey to and from work. I used to work a week of 6am-2pm and a week of 2-10pm. All for 6 pound an hour.
    The place was minging it very nearly turned me into a Vegetarian.

    <laugh>

    I went to Manchester, with a few other lads, to fill in for some doormen who were 'off work with a stomach bug'.

    Turns out the front of the club, the Hacienda, had been shotgun blasted in a drive-by and they'd all ****ed off.

    We were supposed to be there for a week and were back in Nottingham before midnight <laugh>
