Name: Simon

Age: 41

Location: Stockport

Status: Married (2nd time)- 3 sons, 8, 4 & 3, all from 2nd marriage.

Job: Electrician (also 2nd career). My first serious career was as a Food Scientist.

Hobbies: DIY (except plumbing!)

Interests: Learning more about computers.

Likes: eating (!), driving

Dislikes: change weekly, but a long-standing one is drivers using front fogs when it's not foggy. And thinking they look cool. Without realising they actually look like total to$$ers. And inconsiderate ones at that.

While I'm on motoring, I also dislike drivers who park facing on-coming traffic at night while leave their headlights on. That means drivers face headlights from both sides of the road, which is exceedingly distracting.

[oilman]

Ambitions ; All my kids with their own businesses,

Perhaps they may not want their own business, maybe they won't be suited to running one. You're their mentor, and as such you should be supporting them to do what they want, not pressurising them to do something that pleases you.

Most businesses fail.
