les or Graham have you ever been a union member
No, worked for privately owned companies, rose up the Ranks and worked hard and did well.

Eventually 20 years ago decided to work for myself with no capital hardly and became taxi driver, self employed and realised if i wanted things in life i had to do it myself, worked many Sat nights while my mates were enjoying themselves.
enables me to live half decent lifestyle though, but if i want anything, any treat I go out there work extra hours and earn it
