Hi Im Sean from Scotland. I think its probably time to sign up as this seems a helpful place. I've never welded before but think I should start as I've got old vehicles to try and keep on the road and you can see them rusting in this climate.

Welcome, a few Scot's on here - I suppose with our climate and salted roads, rusty vehicles are more common.

English was my worst subject at school: having to read Dickens (when Lady Franklin had paid him to discredit my relative John Rae for reporting on the cannibalism of the ill fated crew of the Franklin expedition) also my granny was belted for speaking Gaelic at primary school in Argyll may have shaped my lack of effort*Scots - no apostrophe.
Oh, and there's also at least one pedant.
Welcome, Sean.

Thanks everyone. I've been lurking for a wee while learning a wee bit. I'm not in the far wilds like Mull of Kintyre, just near Helensburgh about an hour from Glasgow. The rusty vehicles are 3 3 Defenders a t4 van and a toyota lucida .

Nor was it one of mine! I was in Englandshire in the mid-eighties and did O-Grade English and English Literature, even went to see MacBeth at Stratford-upon-Avon.
Funnily enough it was only recently, only a few months ago, that I came to appreciate having gained the English Literature some 40yrs ago; had I not had that I would not have gained entry to Moray House in Edinburgh to do my PGDE, and thus qualify as a high school

I got C for O grade and higher English, I did French as needed a language O grade to get into Uni then ended up doing technical college and work before going back for a degree.

I ended up with 2 quals in English language, we were a test year for the planned GCSE exams, so sat that after doing the O level version and got an O level and a GCSE pass.English was my worst subject at school: having to read Dickens (when Lady Franklin had paid him to discredit my relative John Rae for reporting on the cannibalism of the ill fated crew of the Franklin expedition) also my granny was belted for speaking Gaelic at primary school in Argyll may have shaped my lack of effort
