Hi Doug,
When I was a young sprog of a technician back in the early 60's, this chap was a senior seviceman for an infamous rental company, now long gone. He then became a shop manager for a local group, then went offshore to make the pension oil pound.
His wife would now move to Spain, with a pool in the paddock and golf course next door. This keeps him on the road in wonderful East Anglia, where it never ever rains - daytime.
