Alright they mate,being a "SPARKY" as yourself is usually great,but i can imagine you could be finding it hard at the moment with the construction trade being hit by this fooked up recession in the uk.I worked in the construction trade until i got layed off just before xmas!
Erm i trained along side some uk Marines a few years ago on a training session for a few days at Cattrick and their were tough as old boots,"solid really".Check out the little video and this website mate.
