Worked in the same business [film laboratories] since leaving school [summer '69]... Done lots of different jobs within it but all related to same business... On the side used to do a lot of 'kerbside' mechanics... My Dad had his own car repair business so got my 'skills' for that from him...

Should've been retiring in three weeks [on reaching 60] but have, rather foolishly, allowed myself to be talked into doing another year... Hopefully I don't regret it...
