Well I'm not sure which nerve I touched Krystal but perhaps the 25 tough years in Line Servicing has something to do with it. Yes I understand pride. And yes I understand work can be tough.

But let me state here unequivocally that yes I already got the message. I thank you for it. I hereby accept that I wont get anywhere in this vain. I came here to duly establish that, and now its done.

But I'll probably do the degree anyway just out of personal interest.

Because yes I am self sufficient and don't have a great need for money. Poor health and hard work in the past means I don't have a wife and kids or much else to pay for.

Speaking of tough jobs I did 10 years as a postman. Remarkably well paid if you were happy to do overtime. And a second outdoor job on top. Never met anyone else who worked as hard as that. Despite the Scottish winters in recent years where even the emergency services struggled to operate. So I bought and paid for my house in 2.5 years.

And no I'm not reluctant to reveal any of it, it is all intentional.

I have every respect for what you do, maybe you can respect me too for where I find myself
