    As the title says.. Just curious. I'm a self employed sparky, or, as one ex employer described, an evil necessity.

    I'm an overhead linesman on Blackpool tramway, or as the new image is now "light Rail" this is me enjoying the weather on top of the engineering tram last winter during a rewire.

    Production Manager, dull after 31 years, 50 hours a week in a 12 x 8 office, gets me onto the forum during the day though;)

    I would prefer to be a spark?
