why did you go to all the effort of getting your corgi ticket and not maintain it

i meant someone else who did this last year and had to walk away as I though he was mental. You're not in Brum are you?

hi Mg, its a long story, I used to live in brum, but I moved away 20 yrs ago, when I got my cogi ticket, I couldnt take the pressure, I would go to houses and have to tell them that other things in the house werent safe, the boss I used to work for would put me under pressure to get the job done and it all just got to much,I then worked for Drake and scull a big company down south, Im not into being self employed, Im not motivated enough, adverting, all the stuff that goes with working for yourself, some people are born to be self employed, alot are not, they just want to do a good job and not worry about the paper work. I worked for drake and scull and didnt need to be corgi so it lapsed, and I was happy with them.
where are you in brum,?.
I might be going back to uk soon to the brighton area so will be looking for work in that area, just have to wait and see how things pan out.

Until the recession aircon was the thing to be going into as its a rapid growth area and there are few qualified people.

Now its at the top end of luxuries people are not spending on.

I think that more important than what you might do is to find some opportunity that suits you as it sounds as if you are not cut out for all jobs.

I have no problem working in most situations but I do have to say that the worst customers are usually the ones with the most money!
