Yeah, one of the things I'm looking at but I need to go on some part time college courses first. Some courses are free or have a massive discount via government schemes so that will help me a lot. Plus you meet people who might have contacts etc that will be helpful. I'm in IT / electronics hardware support which is all self taught and I have no qualifications on paper. There is a lot of competition though. I might go back into the telecoms industry as that is what I started out as via trainee schemes.
I see what you mean about the horse - no the ronker is the guy on it in typical ronker style dress. There are loads of horses on that estate just about every patch of grass has at least two. Gets worse as well, just watched the news and two more people were murdered last night near there.
I really need to move house (again). I live in an old millworker's cottage which is nice and the village where I live is great too but it's only 3 miles from Bradford. Ronkers are always driving round in their flatbed transit vans or horse/cart looking for scrap. I got a new kitchen and put the old oven in the garden to take to the dump later but I didn't have to; it got nicked within an hour!
