Odbguy, where are you in Tidworth? I finished my old career there at 1RHA workshops where I too commuted at weekends back to Blackpool. It was 240 miles each way, but always done on the bike :P
And I've had a bit of an update on the job, apparently some of the work can be done at home! Cutting down on commuting considerably.
It's not a promotion within what I'm doing at the mo, for those of you that know what it is I do, but it's doing a civilian role in my old career as an Armourer/sales person running courses and selling the company's wares. Sounds fantastic and right up my street.
