As a kid I always wanted to be a Cabinet Maker, at 67 I still have a good set of tools(woodworking ones, you filthy swines!), and will tackle most things, often to the horror of Sheila.
Finished up in the Accounts dept of a Joinery manufacturer. This meant that I had access to a good source of timber for the next seventeen years and made all kinds of things for the pleasure of it. I even managed a passable guitar' and had the distinct pleasure of being told by the head of the Apprentices School that 'None of my lads could have done that!'
Went on from there to Credit Manager at a number of companies in differing industries. Now retired, and only doing things I enjoy, like photography and 'Wasting your time on that computer!'
Singing sort of came in in the '70s, never more than floor-singer level, and mostly of the 'keep them laughing' variety. The ability to write parody I had displayed for some time before, and it came in very useful.
