What do you do for a living?

Director at a club that organises motor racing for its members, a dream job honestly.

http://www.classicsportscarclub.co.uk if anyone would like free tickets to one of our meetings, will try to help out. :)
I've marshalled at a couple of CSCC events in the past (Anglesey & Oulton) - was on the pit entry years ago when the Legend spun & flipped multiple times into the infield - although that might have been at the 'other' Legends series. Used to love the Jags sliding around :driving:

Since I went 5-days-a-week in London, I've hardly done any marshalling :thumbsdown:

Team Manager at Sky Broadcasting in Osterley, West London. We transmit the Sky television programs you watch at home, anything from Premiership Football to F1. Basically I watch TV for a living!

Just out of interest, do you know Robyn Smyth?
I don't recognise the name, no. It's a big place though, several thousand workers. Have seen a few Zeds scattered about the work car parks from time to time (one of them a fellow forum member), wonder if any other Sky employees are on the forum...
 
I'm a mechanic for a large manufacturing company looking after cars trucks trailers forklifts basically if it ticks it's mine .

I'm a vet in the south west. Deal with large and small animals but have a special interest in small animal surgery.
So i reckon if you can do for a living what essentially is your hobby then youve cracked it in life -i'm guessing that's the case for a lot of vets but probably very few human doctors .

Yes I must say that I often feel very privileged to have a career that I wanted to enter ever since I can remember. Can still be quite stressful at times tho! They do say never work with kids or animals!

What a fantastic job in the best place in the country to live, I'm green with envy...even going shoulder deep up a cow's chuffter would'nt put me off...well a bit maybe.. :sick: I doth my cap to thee sire. :hattip:

Welcome aboard too. :thumbsup:

It is a fantastic area to work (West Dorset/East Devon).

Luckily not too much long glove work but it's not so bad on a cold day....!

Makes reminder never to buy second hand gloves from Fieldy no matter the cost!
 
Employment-wise right now I do F-all!

Depending upon circumstances I may choose to be Retired or Unemployed!! :lol:

Still a lie-in never killed anyone (did it)? :D

And I get time to be curator to straight 6 petrol-engined manual BMWs!

Prior to that I spent 30+ years in the general insurance industry, lastly as an international property claims adjuster until I got fed up with spending on-call weekends driving to see some water damage near Swansea, an explosion at an oil storage site in Hertfordshire, a fire at a bus depot in London, or flying to the site of a fire in Lodz, Poland or Middelfart, Denmark (I kid you not!), etc.

Weren't final salary pension schemes a great idea? :lol:

Personal assistant to Sir Frank Williams :winner:

Yes it is as good as it sounds :thumbsup: no I can't get cheap f1 tickets :thumbsdown:
I'm a self employed tiler/Kitchen fitter/bathroom fitter but I worked for Goodyear F1 early nineties so travelled the world with the F1 circus. I looked after the Williams GP tyres on the grid with Biddy and Steve (if they're still there). Brilliant job and still miss it.

Ah, I think that must have been long before I joined the club, I do remember hearing of a Legend accident though. Let me know if you fancy coming along again, either as a marshal, volunteer in the pit lane or guest, the club has changed and grown a lot over the years. :)

Wow, that's a nasty one. Just checked back, it wasn't our meeting thankfully, we were there in the April. :)
 
Software development / Consultancy.

Just added a new branch to the company as my son joined now, manufacturing Gate / Garage control systems to add to existing controls with phone based access - shipping from next months, exciting times :D
 
Retired on medical grounds 14 years ago.

Formally IT consultant for Hampshire County Council. SQL/Plus on the mainframe before it also went into retirement. I loved the job and always looked forward to Mondays. Well, nearly always.
