Phoenix from the ashes?

Firstly, many thanks for the welcome!

I thought a bit of explanation as to why life is a bit busy at the moment would be in order.

Basically having spent 27 years in the exciting world of retail management I have found myself without a job twice in the last two years through no fault of my own.

So the question is - do I go back into the corporations that don`t give a sh*t about you so long as they get to enjoy kicking your soft bits on a regular basis? - OR, do I go and start my own business and make money for myself instead of for some other tos*er? - difficult one!

So here I am two and a bit weeks into developing the next retail empire to conquer the Western world, yes I have returned to my roots and I am selling rugs on a market stall! - look out Lord Philip Harris of Peckham!

I have swapped the "whistle" for jeans and tee - shirt, the shoes for trainers and the Audi A4 for a Ford Tranny!

And you know what - It feels great!

My daughter has given the newly formed machine the cool name of "Rugrageous" (a bit punky I thought, but not quite "B*ndage as in Viv westwood,) so we are all set to conquer the south coast of England and realise my dream of early retirement somewhere sunny with a trip home every other week to watch Pompey play!

So - if you want something warm and comfortable or hardwearing and durable up your passageway - give me a shout!
