    Posted by John Malone on 27 September 2012 at 20:49

    Hi,

    Just starting up because:

    used to be in the Air Force but had enough after 23 years,
    used to be a civil servant but got bored with it,
    used to be an IT tech on GWR but got made redundant,
    used to be a photographer but couldn’t make it pay,
    used to be a civil servant again but nearly got made redundant
    (so took early retirement instead).

    Let’s see if I can manage 23 years at sign making. (60 2 weeks ago!)

    Just bought a second hand Roland CAMM1 CM24 and a new
    Graphtec CRP, for portability, hoping to do outside work.

    Cheers

    John

    Hi John

    I worked in a brewery for 19 years but wasn’t any good at organizing the p1ss ups so they eventually fired me and I became a signmaker instead 😕

    Well I wasn’t going to bother saying hello having read that but I suppose I should be kind hearted seeing as you have already had to suffer for 23 years :lol1: :lol1:
