Not a lot .. :(

After 38 years in the RAF, I did 15 months in the Courts Service but "last in first out" when the cuts came.... now nothing.

Can't apply for any benefits or "job seekers" stuff as I have a military pension and some savings.....  :(

Not even a vacancy in B & Q stacking shelves right now .. :(

So 40 years of paying in to the system ... and what can I draw out ???  Diddley squat... :(

Worked in a super market before leaving school.

Wanted to be an auto electrician, couldn't get the job I wanted, but got a job as Diesel Injector.pump refurbisher.  But had toleave after 3months as I suffered dermatitus.

Became a cannery Enginner.

Have since owened a garden centre sub business selling concrete products. a car valeting business.  Owned a fish and chip shop, dabbled a bit in building and upgrading computer. (not on a level that a lot of the guys on here are though, never ever got involved in software - allthough I wish I had)  Than had a dabbled in horse racing and devolped a few systems, but packed it in when the traders moved in on betfair.

Now retired and suffering from varies illness issues, but am happy and content
