Jim.
You got that right, it was an ambition of mine too lol, all for getting a job with the NRA (Environment Agency) but when i found out about the qualifications you needed then that was it for me haha, i have got the Fisheries Management Diploma from Sparsholt but the competition for the jobs in the Environment Agency is severe, its on a "who you know" basis also. Only the really lucky will have the right jobs and then they stay in those jobs for life lol

I worked in Fish Farming for 11 yrs, then got pissed off with it all, i wanted a job where you could put your tools down at the end of the day and come in the next day and NOT find them DEAD lol

Property Maintenance/Building/Plastering now, a bit more lucrative lol
