All these fancy military toys. Pakistan. Afghanistan. Sounds like a walk in the park. Think yourselves lucky you weren't deployed into Govan on one of these...

Might as well pitch in here........Served apprenticeship in Ford main dealer, worked in an independant and then a Toyota main dealer before returning to Ford. Made redundant in early nineties and ended up working in a agricultural feed mill. Dull as ditch water job but increased my salary by fifty percent overnight!! Left that once my self build was finished and tried being an instructor in an FE college (motor vehicle dept) Hated every f****** second of it! went back on the tools and when I finished in 2005 I was a master technician in a Skoda dealership. Left that to start working in partnership with my wife, we took over her family's Painting and decorating business, been doing this now for fifteen years and never looked back. We'll never be millionaires but our work/life balance is pretty good.... Took a lump sum out of my pension when corona started and paid off my mortgage. Took the SEISS grant and a bounce back loan, bought the T6..... looking forward to using it dual purpose, camping at superbikes and the work drive too. I will need to be tidier with my work equipment once I've done some camping type fit out.

You'd simply end up where you started.
