Like the you tube channel. I thought it would be fun to see how many hairdressers are in this club. I need a haircut in this lockdown!
My occupation is security officer.

I should definitely not be trusted with scissors! IT guru during the week, semi-professional kitchen dancer at the weekends!

Self employed regional sales rep and part time motor trader.
Problem is that 2 of the last 3 cars I’ve bought to sell on I’ve ended up keeping… one being the mx5 and the other a Saab to blat up and down the motorway in which also has the most comfortable seats I’ve ever had the pleasure of.

I’m a Car Valeter.
I’ve NEVER known a hairdresser drive a convertible car of any type. (They’d mess up their hairstyle!)
Most people I know with MX5s are couples that are middle aged or over. And the occasional young person, more often that not men.

Unemployed, after 48 years of being a forklift field service engineer, i took early retirement and voluntary redundancy.
Do i miss working in wind, rain, snow, mud, up to my elbows in grease, oil and diesel, battery acid, burnt arms, black finger nails, bleeding and skinned knuckles, wet and frozen feet, 24hr call outs, sleeping and ‘using the toilet’ in my van and not forgetting the ignorant and down right rude customers, miles and miles of traffic jams, easily doing 500 miles a day.
NO NO and NO.
But on the upside i’ve just become Grandad to a ‘little diamond’ 4 weeks ago.
Edit, not forgetting a few broken fingers, four broken ribs, three collapsed discs and permanent sciatica.

I was a welder fabricator for 35 years from the age of 15 when I left school and started my apprenticeship , I took early retirement at the age of 50 after I nearly died from meningitis and septicaemia, luckily I had a good final salary pension, and the company that I worked for were very fair and paid me my full pension entitlements that I would have received at 65 . Do I miss work , not one bit.

After an initial 2.5 year career as an Analytical Chemist I have spent the last 31 years writing computer code. If I’m lucky I’m now in my last job which will see me to retirement in about 5 years.

Supply Chain. Trained at college for art and design and left when we had a recession back in the early 90’s. So started working in a warehouse and soon started working in the dispatch office for the same company. Year or two later I was in supply chain / operations team and never looked back. I’m very lucky to be in an industry that’s raced off its feet right now as I have been unemployed before and it was the worst few months of my life.
