your right for 2 reasons, shortage of technicians worldwide, not just uk, and fix the cars before they could catch fire keeps us busy ,lol

I am on delivery driver for Ocado.

Another HGV driver here. Normally drive an 8 wheeler for our local council. Jobs OK but the CPC part of it is a joke!

I run a cycle shop (part of a 3 store franchise type thing, where we've just been bought out by Halfords for 18.5 million) in West Wales but am ready to leave and move on due to it being a terrible, and unorganised, company to work for.

Dream job would be a forestry ranger of sorts, something along those lines, ride mountain bikes day in day out which is why!

I am an Operations Officer and Paramedic. Been in the Ambulance service nearly 30 years

For my sins I am a School Site Manager. It was one of those "It'll do for now" jobs when i was made redundant from my previous job as a Machine Operator in the printing industry.

That was 9 years ago!:laugh:

I am keeping half an eye out for something new now though.

Home delivery driver for Sainsbury's, basically  you order food I deliver.  :whip:        Really wished I ignored fatherly advice and joined the Royal Navy.......oh well the pays is good enough, fellow drivers are really good people, what else do you need.

I'm an HR Project Manager.

Qualified and skilled in many IT areas having previously worked as a Dell Service Engineer through to Database/SQL Analyst. I now implement systems for HR teams that do things like manage employee data, absence data, job postings and managing candidates.

Love it.

I'm lead graphic designer for a local sign writing company. In my job I do everything from leaflets, business cards, flyers to shop signs, bespoke signs, custom wall coverings, vehicle sign writing and full vehicle wraps/colour changes.

Some of my recent vehicle/design work:

Oi Cheecky!!  they  not that bad at our store, but some of the vans we've had from others were real bad, mould grown in the chillers. Yukky, but I guess cleaning can be difficult when the company sends our every van from 7am to 11pm at night 7 day a week.
