I'm the one you all love to hate when you are late for work and there's a queue of traffic crawling along at 4mph...bet your life I'm at the front.
I drive a big road sweeper...or I did before this bloody heart attack. But as the great Arnie once said..."I'll be back...."







"who needs traffic calming when there's a sweeper in front of you..."

Technical Director for a conference and live events production company, so I get to design the lighting and stage sets for such huge product launches, such as (and in no real order) Pampers, Coke Light (yuk !!!) Macdonalds (long while ago) Ford Sierra (humm) and a host of strange pharmacutical products, which as far as I can see all claim to cure anything that you have got !!!!!!!

I spent 22 years in the RAF, then 21 years as a Technical Author, before taking early retirement. I now divide my time between old Austin Sevens, model warships and foreign holidays.

I don't suppose it would apply to Mayhemers, who all seem to have at least two hobbies, but a lot of people, when I decided to retire, said "What are you going to do to fill all that spare time?" What spare time? I've never been so busy!

Run my own company that supplies and maintains coin operated gaming and amusement machines, pool tables, sound systems to Pubs, Clubs and other such salubrious outlets...




And I'm always open to offers so that I can retire and get down to the serious business of making models...

Started working life as a time served carpenter and joiner, worked my way up to being a surveyor, then got fed up.
Went truck driving for twenty odd years in this country and Europe, then like Roy thought I'd better spend some time with the wife and kids so went back into building.
Took over my Father in Laws company when he died and retired at 56 with Emphysema.
I am now stuck at home building model boats.
