My father was an aircraft engineer at Fliton, he designed Concorde' s intakes by day and built a canal boat in the evenings and at weekends!

I followed in his foot steps...and tripped up a bit on the way, such as putting mud and water in the engine of his Morgan (I was 3 at the time) then watering it! (he had the head off at the time ) - and using the top of the canal boat like an aircraft carrier, until I caught him in the side of the head with a rubber band powered aircraft...and many moor fables.

I have now learnt to put stuff back together (much to the relief of the engineering community) however I have a distinct dislike of gardening and didn't want to join the navy (much to the relief of horticultural and maritime community)

P.S. I’m looking for a new job soon any offers?
