They will seem quite short to a man of your calibre, and you will be cheered whether you succeed or fail.
They do look a good laugh, definitely something for the future, and thanks for your kind words.

I had an interview today and am now the new Repair Specialist at Alpkit Bristol.

Well done & good luck in your new endeavour :mrgreen:

May the most stressful thing you come across be the choosing of the right thread for whatever it is you end up sewing ;)

Well done! It takes a lot of curage to take such a step. It will pay off fot you own health. And that is whats matters. Voya con Dios, as the Spanish say.

Thats fantastic news Chris, well done you!!

I think you could do some advertising for them, they sent you off to far flung corners and you do a jigg with a rucksack!

Yahoooooo :))))
