I can relate to some of this, when I was 15 I volunteered at the national transport museum. My friends said I was mad working for free on Saturdays. This was a stepping stone and I went on to serve my time as an HGV mechanic.

It's the same here, most of the lads I served my time with were sons of farmers or people who had an interest in vintage vehicles. In the college phases the normal students looked down their nose at us.

I am still the youngest member of the museum, and I'm there 15 year's now.
