    As I mentally picture all the intelligent and brilliant rock bands from the North (not to mention artists, playwrights, authors etc), I think I always would have liked to have been a journalist or a (straight) air steward!

    I originally wanted to be a copper. then I changed my mind and wanted to be a midwife. then I found out the sight of blood makes me faint, so that ruled that out. Now I'm just training to be a confectionary technician. I bake bread and yummy cakes every day. Brokerage theres a french loaf in the oven for you as I speak.

  • I think I'd train as a Mortgage Mis-selling Investigator, to help clients who have been ripped off by lenders to claim back their charges and PPIs.

    Get the Banks back for what they are doing to the public and brokers.

    We could all sprout wings and don halos overnight Payless and the public will still regard us as highly as something they wiped off the bottom of their shoe.

    ahh i like independent mortgage advisors, the 2 i have seen have been very nice... the one working for an EA was a bit pushy, but the other 2 were lovely! so dont feel everyone takes this opinion :)

    Can I volunteer as Kate Winslet's official food taster?

    I would apply to be her Don Juan, but I have a feeling that my body shape may be more suited to the former role.
