Yes, for the first seven years of my career, I was a Lloyds claims broker. The only thing I miss is the fantastic food we used to get at lunch-time and obviously the fun (girls ) and socialising you get in a big office. That was nearly ten years ago, and I couldn't go back to all the bollocks that you have to put up with being a "cog" in a large company - office politics sucks and I was always too mouthy for the directors .
