As they say "tha can tell Yorkshire Folk, but tha can't tell 'em much"
I'm 50% Yorkshire:
Mother from West Hill Gate, Bradford.
Father from the Potteries.
Did my RAF service around the Lincolnshire Airfields before being Head Hunted by British Aerospace at Brough East Yorkshire.
Did ten years crossing the Humber Bridge before moving to Brough as a Single Mum.
Took Redundancy in 2007 and moved to Beverley to look after my then Fiance.
Had a career change in 2009 when I went back to work full time, but on Feb 4 2013 I woke up paralysed and that was the end of working. My employer couldn't do 'reasonable' adjustments and I was in Rehab for six months. By the time I was fit to come back it was 2015 and my job had gone.
I prefer 'Early Retired' to 'Unemployed' it seems more positive that way x
Hi, I'm from Yorkshire too.
Now living down south.
Beverley is a lovely little town isn't it? Used to be our favourite place for going out for coffee.
I also lived in Cottingham before I was married.
I prefer "Early Retired" too
