I now print letterheads, business cards, ncr sets, brouchers in fact almost anything that comes along. In the past I was involved in security printing, very interesting, airline tickets, passports, certificates of deposit, bearer bonds and cheques etc. Once printed a single piece of paper that with the correct signatures was worth £5,000,000 (yes 5 million). Needless to say I didn't know the people that had to sign it.

Time served Watch & Clockmaker, 4th generation and the last by the looks of it.

currently, IT trainer & NVQ assessor; presently, exam invigilator at a schools on the Wirral (like watching paint dry in reality but oh the power I have! :D)

Semi-pro photographer and maker of models (boats preferably but anything considered if remuneration is adequate)

BTW if you the song referred to previously is "Any Old Iron" then i can remember Lonnie Donagan (sp) blasting it out during the skifle era around 1957/8.

Not the 'Gondola' is it, Oldiron?

I'm not familiar with the "Gondola". This is the Wanda III. It was built for the Eaton family in 1915 and runs on its home lake in the Muskoka Lakes chain.

I work part time as an electrician and troubleshooter. Most of the time I work as a vocalist and play bass guitar.
I also spend a lot of time building inland river work boats.

Hi Mayhemmers,
I'm an Account Co-ordinator with a well known steel company (British, then AngloDutch and most recently Indian).
I enjoy the challange of work but wish I had more time for boats.
(It'll have to wait for retirement I guess)


Oh and when not working it's the shared job of bringing up 2 children with SWMBO.

Thats a fine boat Oldiron.

Sorry, I wrongly assumed you were in uk. The Gondola is a steam yacht on Coniston in the English lake District. She lay sunk for many years, and I used to play on the wreck as a lad. Then she was recovered, taken to a local shipbuilders and renovated into her current glory by apprentices.

 "Gondola"'s a nice looking vessel. The people who put it back together deserve a huge congradulations. It's to bad, though, that it was allowed to get into a derelict condition as you mentioned.
