Hi all Just come across the forum today so joined up. I'm just a keen DIYer (although I have worked as a diesel fitter) - I've built a couple of kit cars and maintain my own cars/m/c as best I can. [having read a few posts about the origin of this place I'll have to dig out my Car Mechanics mags from the loft]

Welcome to the Forum. Diesel fitter reminds me of an old joke. Go on then..... I'll bite John and Jim worked together and were both made Redundant. So they went to the Job Centre. When asked his occupation John answered "Panty Stitcher I sew elastic onto ladies panties and thongs." The clerk looked up Panty Stitcher on his computer and said thats an unskilled job you can have £150 a week. Jim went in and when asked his occupation said "Diesel Fitter." Since Diesel Fitter was a skilled job he would be paid £300 a week. When John found out how much Jim was getting he went back to find out why. The clerk said "A Panty Sitcher is an unskilled job and a Diesel Fitter is a skilled job." What skill yelled John I sew the elastic on the panties and thongs and Jim puts them over his head and says "Yep diesel fitter." Sorry I'll get me coat.
