    Probably but you have got to watch what they offer

    Last time i said I want my forktruck licence they wanted to send me on a 6 week warehouse skills course , basically working for someone for 5weeks and 3 days for £62 a week, then a 2 day fork truck course

    Well if you don't find out you'll never know, worth a look see!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Which basically means, boots, hi-vis ( so you are easier to hit ) and bend-your-knees! Oh, and sign this to say that you have done the Safety Course and now, if you get injured, its your own fault:confused:
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D
