Im a business Development manager for an electrical wholesaler now,

Or as most would like to call me 'sales rep'

In all fairness, when im not out on the road, im normally at home or in my branch making phone calls.

When i worked for BMW i normally got up at 6.30 to be in work for 8am, and would finishe anywhere between 6pm to 8pm, was very used to doing 60 hour weeks.

So this job is very refreshing!

For my sins I'm a postie. I get a lie in these days, we used to start at 04.30 on a Monday and Saturday and 05.00 the rest of the week. It's easy work and you get to hoon about in a van listening to the radio. Happy days.

Ahh your that fool who red lines it in every gear, and reverses at 30mph? not forgetting putting the handbrake on before the van has come to a standstill?

Ring any bells sir?
