    Just sold my road haulage business after 40 years. I am the fourth generation to run it, we started with shire horse pulling barges. Very strange feeling

    I’m a proper grafter. 50-60 hour weeks.
    But…this thread makes me feel inadequate knowing what proper professional folk I am rubbing shoulders with on here.
    People reckon Barnsley folk are ‘thick’ or ill-educated but I am actually quite proud of the amount of local folk done good we have in our midst.

    Honestly you should see the money that gets wasted. It’s scandalous and people wonder why train fairs are so high.

    Solicitor. Don't love it but am basically trapped at this point. Too far into my specialism to change areas and too many outgoings to take a step back and do owt else.

    I work as 'Head of Creative Production' for a large creative studio/design/VFX company. Working mostly in the realm of advertising (China and Asia in this case). Basically if you can watch it on a screen (any screen) I help make it. I did similar jobs in Mexico, LA and London before that.

    CEO. No not that one!

    Like many others, from a mining background. Dad worked at Grimey pit from the age of 15 until it shut. I worked there in the early 80s with the IEA developing clean coal technology. Remember that!

    Were you a Willowgarther?

    My dad taught modern languages there in that era.
