I *AM* looking for a new car, but the urgency's gone now the Rover somehow passed its' test. I'm planning to buy (budget 4-6K) during the next 3 months, but probably will look at a Jag/Daimler.
However, the £20 was OK for an hour's test drive.
I've now been offered the new C'eed for 3 days and a Toyota for 2 days as test drives so that's a week's transport sorted!

C'eed - the trouble with that test drive is you might win one for a year!
Yes. Have you considered that maybe I can't tell you what exactly I do? :-/
'Engineering' covers a wide range of skills, not all of which require good maths. Even a good machinist can earn £20k plus, working flat hours, which seems a bit better than the annual salaries quoted in this thread for IT jobs. OTOH I imagine prototype design work, especially in civil engineering would require one to be very good at maths, and pay far in excess of £20k :-) I consider myself to be a skilled practical engineer. A toolmaker to be precise, though I also design and make special purpose machine tools. The only maths I know is what is required to do the job. Trigonometry and simple stress calculating seems to be enough, which is just as well because in general I am very poor at maths. Always have been. Mike.

Sounds like the episode of the Simpsons where they have stock certificates on bog rolls.
We'd never have guessed ;-)

Futurama :-)
I was often late for school, particularly in the 6th form. In the end they basically gave up and said that as long as I made it in for lessons then that was the main thing. Once day my first lesson for the day was at
11:55pm, and about 10 minutes before I was in the corridor signing in, and my physics teacher walked past and said "just in?". I replied "no, Peter".Literally one other person laughed. I was quite chuffed.
Welcome to my world. I have 15,000 shares that were worth 90p each. I have a paper certificate, not an online account, or I could sell them=20 easily. Unfortunatley, between handing over the cheque to pay for them, and=20 recieving the certificate, they are now worth 12p a share. Still not bad=20 you might think if you need any cash you can get, except as they are=20 paper shares, by the time I have used a broker and paid their fees, I=20 would actually owe them money.
So I'm a bit buggered for selling them.
