This thread is blatantly stolen from teh PH Business Forum, but it's thrown up some interesting things that people do to make money. So thought I would bring the idea across to the Yorkshire forum and find out what the local PH'ers do. Original Post by 'Fridaypassion' "I see a lot of posts on here and sometimes wonder hmm I wonder what line of business they are in? I think sometimes posting details can of course be a personal choice or sometimes to avoid das mods/advertising policy. But sometimes its interesting to know what industry people are working in to make sense of their replies. Anyway heres a thread posted in context. Whats your business and tell us how you are doing? Off you go then  I'll do the same as Fridaypassion, I'll wait for a few posts before posting my own. One or 2 lines max stating what you do. No full on sales pitches please. Please do not add a website link

I sell eyelashes and permanent makeup. www.davehemingway.net is more interesting to PH though. (That url is ok as it is an online record of your well known motoring exploits Dave)

I work at RAF Fylindales I like this thread, could be a useful tool to put work towards fellow Yorkshire PH'ers. Good idea OP.

I took the family for fish and chips in Whitby on Saturday and drove past your 'office'. WOW, I've never been on that road before. Wished I was in a real car, I made everyone seasick in the Rangie by leathering it Top commute.

Poor little sod. If you fancy it, keep your eyes open for a potential meet up here in the summer, we open up the radar for a tour and they do a barbie and stuff. We did it last summer and the feedback I got was quite positive from PH'ers.

I work for Green Flag
I'm in a team that liases with garages and handles all the complex stuff. Breakdowns involving massive motorhomes, long recoveries where we try to get alternatives to save money and the member some aggro, repudiate policies. Stuff a bit different to the everyday breakdown.
Also work in the behind the scenes bit and do Queue Management (those who've ever worked in a callcentre will be familiar with the kind of role!)
Not only that, but I'm trying to start a Carbon Fibre business. But time and (lack of) money slow me down!

I teach English (11-16 at the moment, but have also done A Level) and help to run the department. Also a marker for GCSE English for one of the big exam boards. Oh, and I do a bit of private tuition too. In non-education matters, I do a bit of writing. At the moment it's mainly just SEO/copywring stuff for a mate's web design firm. I'm quite good at including target phrases in a variety of convoluted and search-engine-attracting ways

Guys,
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but this thread definitely constitutes advertising, mainly due to the fact that you have put your URL links up.
Great to know what we all do and, we can see it being of potential benefit to others in some instances, but it is still advertising.
Rather than close a potentially interesting thread down, we have edited the posts to take the URLs out.
Cheers,
al

Al - so why have the Mods on the Busines Forum allowed the thread to continue with links? I agree that if people put a pitch, or a special PH offer on the thread then yes that's advertising, but a simple website link - which can be in profile anyway and a short one line description like "we tighten bolts" above surely that's ok?
