I work in bp, running vehicle fleet trials and engine tests around the world to generate claims data for our premium fuel. So I know about fuel

I finished working in F1 last Jan and was trackside with a few teams for 6 years so know a bit about f1 engines and tracks

Before that, I was basically the technical help for castrol engine oil so the phone number on the back of the pack came through to me - so I know about engine and gearbox oils!

I'm a finance manager for my local NHS Primary Care Trust, so nothing car related at all

I used to be responsible for running the AP ledgers, which would involve ensuring all our transactions went through smoothly and were reported accurately. With the amount of money involved that was always fun... I now manage non contractual activity for my county, so basically if a resident goes to another PCT's catchment area and needs medical treatment, I'm the guy who looks into it case by case, checking national tariffs, market force factors, patient databases etc. to ensure we're only paying for what we should be. Just finished helping out on the year end accounts too, glad that's over

my biggest bugbear with the job is that a lot of people have an opinion on the NHS which they're all too happy to throw my way when they hear I'm NHS management, when in reality most people only have a very vague idea how we function (myself included until I started working in the sector

)

I'm a senior software engineer for a small company up here in Scotland called PCCL. I write and maintain a lot of our apps, as well as help look after all our servers and the network itself. As a company - we're all about the Open Source software, so I'm an official Linux geek
