New to forum and still learning

[Pastyspark]

im new to the forum.
Just to say hi.
I'm a spark trained late, started college at night for 3 years at 27 and did my nvq 3 at 30. Did few years with a couple firms including Mitie on some big projects to get plenty of experience before going self employed 12 years ago and developing a small business with a partner over last couple of years with 6 of us at the moment. Still find I'm learning bits all the time.
Sorry for waffling on.
Dave

peg, is that Swahili.

It is the most common phrase,uttered by a tradesman,down Penzance.
Indeed,my recently departed Mother in Law,had this as an answer from a roofer,who she met in Carbis Bay,10 months after asking him for a quote for a repair.

It is the same methodology, applied to "the new boy" term,used to describe a fella who only moved local,thirty years ago...

Cheers everyone.
At wholesalers for 7 sorting gear for day and apprentice is already causing troubles by not coming in.
Some times I do think is it really worth all the grieve, at least it's Friday.

Welcome, Pastyspark! Not prattled on at all, nice to read people's stories.


I hope the apprentice doesn't give you too much grief.
