What do we all do? (warning off topic)

Morning all,

I couldn't sleep this morning so I thought, I know, I'll buy some BMW mats of Jezzer (As you do at 5-30 am). Paid Jez via Paypal and noticed his email address, I had a look at his website out of curiosity and it just got me wondering what everyone did for a living.

You never know they could be some networking to be done and some business passed between the forum. After looking at Jezzer's website I wouldn't hesitate to use his services if he were local to me. Looks like he has an established and professional company.

So what walks of life are we all in?

I'm from an electrical background and have my own M&E company, just curious if all us BMW drivers are alike.
