    whats your profession??

    Just thought id post this up as its always interesting to see what fellow members do for a living/career.
    Especially after seeing some of the beasts on the club and you sit there asking yourself how the hell do they afford that?

    Ill start with myself :P im currently working part time at the AA as a sales advisor (used to be full time) but im going back to college to get some GCSE grades upgraded to the relevant requirements to join the royal navy next year as a pilot/officer.

    You?

    When I got into the RAF as an Officer I required A levels... I never turned up to the fist day though as I changed my mind about signing up for 9 years!! Is it different for the navy then?

    I am a Civil Engineer now.

    Penfold, get yourself down to A&E matey or your GP, the sooner the better as any motor / liability insurer will seek medical evidence to support your claim and if the notes are there on your medical records it will easily assist your case.

    To try and cut costs nowadays Insurers try to settle claims without the medical evidence as medical experts and obtaining the medical evidence isn't cheap so could be an easy £1k+ payout.
