I'm a 3d freelance artist. Been running the business for about 7 years now. Things seem to be going well so far. I use 3dsmax, vray, photoshop, illustrator and other creative progs. In my free time I compose tunes using cubase and I also take pics. I'm 5ft 11inches tall and love life. I'm single and looking for a sexy lady...or rather, I will be once ED is released 
I feel your pain (as an ex-NHS employee!)
I'm part of a two-man online retail company selling tech products. We have been described by onlookers as Trotters Independent Trading on the internet, which is only partly unfair. I would be Rodney.
I'm also a freelance web designer and writer, though the writing has taken bit of a back seat over the last year. Which is a shame as that's the best pie I have a finger in. Bills need paying though
Ah your a stones throw away from me (currently sat in Betty's in Harrogate).

My list would be too long ...
I work as a Communications Technician. I maintain multiple 'central offices' for an international telecomm corporation.
Sadly, Trained/Skilled Craftsman is not on the list.

I'm only allowed to look in the window of Betty's. And even then only until the police arrive.
Chef, pure and simple; well not so pure but you get the story (simple absolutely )
p.s. I did a stint as a trainee pastry chef in Betty's Harrogate and Northallerton oddly enough back in the day!

I believe you when you say you've never been to Harrogate but surely you have a concept of Betty's.
I mean, have you never made a wager!
I'm an English teacher. I'm trained but I'm definitely not professional.
Bettys (note there is no apostrophe) is this place:

Bettys is a posh tearoom (it opened just after WW1 ended). It was initially a place for fashionable types to have a pot of afternoon tea and a scone or some such. These days it has evolved into one of the tourist boxes to tick if you go to Harrogate (which is very nice by the way, my girlfriend is from there). It's not somewhere you'd go every day, unless you had more money than sense, because it costs about a tenner for a pot of tea for two. Much more fun if you go to Harrogate, is the Blues Cafe in the evenings (which is round the corner and down a little hill). Or the original Victorian Turkish Baths just across town. Oh and don't forget Casa Romana either, that's a very nice Italian Restaurant in the centre of the town.

The poshness of Betty's is offset by their grammatic indolence. There are backstreet curry houses in Bradford with more respect for the apostrophe, if not interior decor. Or cutlery.
Well, the decor might not be up to much, unless you really go for that velour wallpaper Wild West Wh***house look, but Bradford is certainly one of the best places to get a curry, unless you go to the Curry Mile:

Absolutely, and the Wild West "Cathouse" look is only if you go upmarket. The best curry I've ever had was in a place that was carpeted with various ancient off-cuts, had bare brickwork along one wall (presumably from when a dividing wall was knocked through in 1976 or something), and was furnished entirely with randomly selected plastic garden furniture.
I've been to Harrogate on a few training coarses over the yrs and can say that the Blues Cafe is a regular event when I go (being an avid Rocker of a mere 42yrs of age ). Saw a young girl there called Chantelle Mcgregor who rocks a guitar Just as good as Hendrix (see her video of red house on YouTube filmed at the Blues Cafe )
To be fair Yorkshire generally is a state of mind vs a place....
I thought it was an independent Republic, or at least you would think so if you talked to my girlfriend.
