So what did you do after your morning tea break then Grumpy?..
I've never been considered essential by anyone, but I seem to be in demand locally by building firms. I am in a unique position in that I have a very well equipped wood working shop up the end of my garden. It got even better equipped after being made redundant at the beginning of this year.
