I certainly did not mean to denigrate anybody.

The points I made were in response to stefs comments that the country needs nurses doctors and teachers as though that is an option for most working class lads, including myself. Neither I nor my friends who joined the army had the academic ability and therefore '' intelligence '' that implies to take on those sort of jobs.

We were pointed towards ''ordinary'' jobs like our dads had, and not the sort of jobs that would pay us £30,000 - £100,000+ ( I'll probably upset someone else now )

Anyway I was once told by a traffic cop that I had only had three brain cells after I took him on the inside going round a roundabout on my KH250 triple ( One brain cell per cylinder he said ) No sense of humour coppers I reckon he was just upset that I was faster than him

Night night
