Under Construction

My last employer before leaving England.  Nice people but Neil the owner had a few other businesses which took up so much of his time. He came to assist me for a short time which ended up as a long time, his sense of humour and mine worked well together and we became known as Derek and Ernie,.   most people did not know that he was the owner which gave him free licence to slag the owner "himself" off something rotten.  We had two or three mechanice depending on who had itchy feet,  Ian "Fuzzy" Thompson, fuzzy because he had a natural afro hairdo,.. and Craig who was prone to throwing things around.  All good fun,..  Gordon "The Gordster" Marshall was the General Manager and ex race mechanic for Wayne Gardner in Ozz for quite awhile so he too had a special sense of humour,.. you'll find out why later,..
