My dad worked when i was born for pirelli (italian company) who make tyres, he was in quality control department making sure the batches were upto the standards they had to be. the company then relocated mainly to the north of the country & he left to join another company working in rubber/tyre products. After we moved back to this end of the country he works for a company who supply parts to Jaguar & some other big named car company, making rubber seals & essential bits that are never noticed until they break
As he's approaching retirement age now, he's taking on more & more cricket umpiring, with qualifications allowing him to spend his retirement in the west indies & australia amongst other places doing a reasonable standard of cricket, though he concentrates mainly on the youth leagues in our area, and the womens, he's friends with many of the current england womens team & has seen some of our countries best talents develop from age 13 upto international level, it gives him great satisfaction. He doesn't make a lot but he's happy, so I am too
