No reason why not. There is more than 20 years between the two dates - enough time for anyone to change jobs and retrain, even in those days. Kath. x

No reason at all - I mean he wasnt giving up a skilled job if he were a labourer to do a semi skilled one. So cant see any problem with that at all.

Just wanted to thank Kath & Heather for their reply to this query because they have sort of answered one of my queries on my 'so frustrated' question. Thank you both Pat
