Hello from Gloucestershire

Posted by John Malone on September 27, 2012 at 8:49 pm

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:
