Thank you Novo, I take that as a huge compliment.

I did drive in the UK for a while but not for the length of time necessary to convert my licence. I'm getting a little long in the tooth now, tbh, and whilst part of me would love to drive again another part is scared silly of driving here! Added to that, as Jools said, the cost of buying a car together with the cost of insurance without employment is what prevents me from doing so.

I don't mind having to get 2 buses to work, but 3 is just too much.

Suprisingly there are quite a few jobs available 'down in the City', I am more than capable of doing the majority -some with a blindfold and one hand tied behind my back, lol - there have even been a fair few up here on the Mountain as well. I am pretty sure that if I could get an interview I could get the job but it's getting an interview that I am struggling with.

I'm a pretty optimistic person but it does get very disheartening and at times I feel like I am hitting my head against a brick wall. However, I will keep plodding away and eventually a job will come along.

Onwards and upwards and never say never, lol.
