Full time copper for me too......the bullseye on Cameron's fund cut dart board :stupid:  :fighting: :mad:



Dont want to get political but this overtime thing is a joke, i read one chap earned £66k in overtime alone last year.. Just think about the 18 year old squaddie on £14-16k in afghanistan right now dodging bullets and iod's every day does he get paid for overtime.. No, it kind of puts your argument in perspective. You've been getting paid far too much for too long and its time to get real, all imo of course

Automated Maintenance Engineering Lead for Royal Mail looking after Sorting Machines, IT systems and Automation Control.

Toolmaking Apprenticeship and travelling around armpits of Europe installing and commissioning High Speed Packing machines in Cigarette factories got me to the level I am at now. Not being a Billy Big Spuds but it took 22 years to get to the level I am at now.

Takes a long time to get there but if you stick with it and you get a rewarding job with good pay.

Not many time served apprentices left and only a few each year being trained properly.

I was also one of 5 last apprentices who did their apprenticeship at Vandervell of Vanwall F1 car fame, and my first year was spent in the same buildings as they built the Vanwall cars. If anybody is interested. My Trainer Ralph worked on the cars back in the day. So nice to be involved in a bit of Automotive history.
