I'm an Operations Tech - currently the Control Room Operator - on one of the largest North Sea fixed Oil Platforms in UK waters.

All the control & safety ststems involved in getting the oil out of the Wells, processed and down the pipe to onshore, is done through the Control Room.
Think Homer Simpson, and you aren't far off the mark!!

I do not have a MK6 GTI. Although, if anyone would like to give me enough money to buy one, I'll quite happily complete household chores etc.

Nothing wrong with that, sir. I admire postmen and have great respect for them as they have a very tough job and provide an extremely valuable service. IMO they should be paid more than they get at present.

Cheers for that am1w. It is a very physically demanding job but being outdoors makes up for all the crap weather as for half your day you are your own boss. Aye a bit more money would be nice but its never been at the top of my list for any of the jobs I,ve done - miner and Armed Forces. Nice to be appreciated though. Cheers P.S the Gti puts a smile on my face when works over. Love it

You are right. It is a very tough job. What really annoys me is that some of my snooty neighbours behave a bit badly towards our postman. Obviously, I told them off!
Our present Postman, or should I be politically correct and say Postperson, is a Yorkshireman. He has me in stitches whenever I meet him on his rounds. Terrific guy.
In fact, right through the years, they have all been great.
