What did you achieve by the age of 19

That was a phone in question on the radio today and after thinking it over all day I realised I'd done nothing apart from passing my driving test

Anybody do anything exciting

Not really I-spy..but I did get pregnant lol..exciting things came later.

I had embarked upon my nursing career and was a year into my training.

I had embarked upon my nursing career and was a year into my training.

Got engaged on that birthday.

Was engaged to my soon to be husband and having the time of my life.

Those were the days

I played rugby at Twickenham

At the age of 19 I was working full time and running the family home looking after my Dad and younger sister..... my Mum had died suddenly and unexpectedly. When I look back now I don't know how I did it.

O levels and A levels

Spent those years drinking and chasing girls.x

Nothing much has changed then

I was in 'the middle' of my apprenticeship as a draughtsman in the drawing office at Irlam Steel Works.
Using an old fashioned drawing board and tee square, happy days.
How times have changed, when I retired in 2011, I was using a computer and 'modelling' in 3D parametric solids.

it was my birthday,i was on a deepwater trawler outa fleetwood..the russians had just opened the white sea to foreign trawlers....because the vessel was rigged with all the up to date gizmo"s..this aroused the suspicians of the reds....they came along side us and ordered us to pull our nets back aboard...an officer and a kid who"s hat was a size to big for him, armed with a machine gun which the rascal had trained on my mid-rifhe wanted to know everything about the equiptment on top of the bridge(the officer)we readily informed him what each piece of equiptment was used for.meanwhile the kid with the automatic kept shifting his gaze from me to the officer....he waqs satisfied with the explanations, and asked for a couple of baskets of cod fish,which we dutifully gave him, then and only then the nervouse kid lowered th automatic, much to my relief.

In 1965, I was just 19 years old, married with a beautiful daughter, living in a two up and two down on Ellesmere Rd in Pem, Just half the house and share the bathroom and kitchen,.....I emigrated to Canada...

What an adventure....!!!!
