Oh yes many of us have been far flung, it all depends on how you land and what or who you land on . Here in the UK we gave that sport up, now we prefer wellies wanging. That seeing how far one can throw wellie boot. It is quite understandable USA citizens would rather go far flinging because they have the American dream . Different here in the UK because we are awake. Welcome to the forum and enjoy the madness

Thank you kindly for that. Fifty years is quite a measure! I did some transport industry related engineering. One of the projects I found interesting - it was for the Orient Express from France to Italy.

Husband was a HGV 1 Lorry Driver for many years but his skills now show he should have been a Carpenter…
He made friends with a Chicken Producer who had an interesting business so was into anything to do with keeping Chickens…From teaching courses to builds for their Pens and Enclosures…The Shop was busterling with allsorts…He needed help…reliable and able so he took my retired Husband on for a few days each week…
One example is enough right now…
That was one Pen and Enclosure they Built for a Local Special School…Turned out an ongoing job as well…
Hope you Enjoy Your Stay…
