    My skill was my job role. But as I grew older. Some of the numpties that run a business in todays world don't get that experience is the most valuable asset.
    That just doesn't apply to me but probably the most of us. It really boils my piss. Thinking some of the younger end barely out of nappies (not blaming those btw) will get summat done quicker causing in my view (fact) longer downtime of equipment when in fact without gaining experience following their older colleagues. generally take for ever. I felt worthless in the end and packed in cos I hated it.
    That's why some companies end up in the mire.
    Probably not what's being looked for, but thought it is worth the mention. And to vent my spleen. Cnuts.:mad::)

    I'm not bad at quite a few things, although outstanding at pretty much nothing.

    DJing
    cooking
    playing chess
    not bad at karaoke

    I can speak Russian, which I think would be well worth showing off about if I hadn't lived there for 18 years. Yet my daughter spoke it better than me by the time she was 6!

    Totally agree Mr Hooky feller. When I started out there were plenty of older more experienced folk around. Whatever qualifications I might have had on paper, I learned everything from them. Now everything’s now about money so get rid of the experienced. Utter ***** is being turned out but no one seems to care or even notice.

    I can speak Italian with a German accent. Wanna swap? Don't really care if it's the language or the accent.

    Can't manage one now without a trip.

    Funnily enough I can't speak German with a German accent, most of them think I'm a Dutchman.
