although i'm wondering if there are any that can provide beer quite like England !

I was going to make that joke and thought better of it. #fail

do it do it dont hold back :) im very thick skinned take the piss as much as you like i would!!!!!

But now your free = Winner !

so so true. and thanks to all that answered its nice to have people to bounce stuff off your a bloody good bunch thanks

I've done some to, ring a local charity and ask them if they need any help. The main thing is to find things to fill the day, such as all the things you have been meaning to do at home, otherwise you will get very bored, very quckly. I stopped working 6 weeks ago, not the same situation as yours but I had done the same job since I was 16 and just began to hate it, and worked so many hours that I barely had time to spend anything so have enough put away to last me through the summer, after that who knows ?

theres loads of on the direct gov web site so wont have any problem finding one to help out and im thinking about going to collage and the new year wont start till late september and i know about the getting bored bit thats why in the last 19 years ive only had 3 weeks holiday what a tosser i hear you say :)

Chin up, there's always work for people in business you just need a really good CV and a positive attitude.
Alternatively you could do what I did at 30 (now) and stop working and spend some savings (supposing you have any). I'm having the time of my life at the moment because I have no long term commitments and can go where I please, even thinking about buggering off to foreign lands at the moment, although i'm wondering if there are any that can provide beer quite like England !

im going to take a month or 2 to decide what i want to do and while im thinking im going to do some volunteer work

I believe you can do a trade equivalency test if you have enough on the job experience.

shouldnt have a problem with that i think 19 years should be enough

if only!! as everyone on this forum will be well aware there are lots of very good frame builders about and not an easy market to break into. but it would be nice to be able to make a living from something you love

Well let's look at this; you have 20 years business experience, bought out our your own employer before the age of 30, and at the age of 35 and know more about running a business than most people with an MBA.

Loser? Hell no.

i think you missed out the running a business into the ground bit out

Gav the biggest problem with that is i have no paperwork to show what i can do its was all on the job training so i need to get the paperwork to show it or they wont even look at you for a visa

sorry dont know how to quote peoples post my bad!!

im coming to the realisation that i need out of engineering even thou i love it. the whole process behind it is fantastic but im tired of it. im warn to a nub of my former self lol and i think if i carry on its going to send me mental.

lol :P im well aware i cant spell for toffee but give me a lathe,mill,gear cutter,welding machine,brakepress,tube bender so on and so on and i kick ass!!!!!!!! ;)

thats what im starting to think im in the very luck position im debt free no wife no kids i think im going to go to collage and become a student bum for a few years learn a new trade altogether

i had the make the hardest decision in my life yesterday and have had to put my business into receivership!! so from 9am monday morning i will have to hand over the keys and walk away from a business i have been involved with for almost 19 years of my 35year life. I started working there at 16 years old and 6 years ago i bought the business. i worked my arse off working 80-100 hours a week with no money for the first 2 years they managed to start paying myself about £100 a week. i had 14 people working for me!! then the down turn happened and things became tight are biggest customer went from orders of 50-80k amonth to almost nothing over night but we had money in the bank no debts we held on for aslong as we could then had to let 9people go things picked up for a little while but we started being squeezed from the bottom up are material prices went up over 150% in 2 years and customers will not take on those sort of price increaces so we had to swallow them but now it has just become to much ive not slept for months the business owed me close to 100k in directors loans which i knew along time ago i would never get it back. so for the first time in my life i will be out of work so i now have to decide if i stay in engineering or try something new??? answers on a post card maked to the loser :) be as honest and harsh as you need to be please

i did mention that to them when they phoned and asked if i would like to collect as there would be less chance of the bike going missing or getting damaged as it wouldnt be going in the post!!

they also forgot my FREE sample of the energy drink that is mentioned in the invoice!!! :)

i will just have to repay the favor and miss bits out the next time they order workshop stands from me then take a month or three to send them the missing parts * have some of that wiggle*

me :)

But its * FREE * and im a tight fucker!! people think its my bike thats squeaking but its me im that tight To be honest i couldnt give a shit about the tool kit but if they say they are going to do something then they should really carry it out.

bought a bike from wiggle about 6 weeks ago and as i live 5mins walk from them they asked if i would like to collect it was ready the day after i ordered it! i was told to phone the workshop when i was out side and they would bring it out to me, which i did and was left stood around outside for over an hour. the free complimentary tool kit was missing i emailed them to tell them as i had received an email asking me to review the bike and the free complimentary tool kit i got a reply in less than 10mins full of apologies and was told one would be sent straight away that was 3 weeks ago and im still waiting. cant really complain the bike was 45% off

very sad R.I.P
