I work in a round about way for Scottish Water, CAD Lead for the NW Area. The largest of the 4 areas (mileage wise) Scotland is split into. Anything from about Dalwhinnie and northwards covers it.

Luckily I spend most of my life in a nice shiny office environment, not at the sharp end.

Had a great time overall, some bits bad.. most bits good.

Been asked to join the Reserves and do the same job on a "part-time" basis, probably will as it'll keep me in contact and give me something to do ... although SWMBO says I won't have time given the list of jobs she has lined up !!!
