About 15 other people do the same job as me. We're pretty specialised within a large breakdown company.

Not come across another company with a similar dedicated team.

In a nutshell, I oversee technical queries from a large network garages, deal with policy repudiations and enforcements, and liase with insurance companies and other stakeholders, company PR reps, and produce MI reports for senior management.

Hopefully in a month or so, I shall then be a resource manager deciding how best to allocate staff on a day to day basis across insurance claims centres over the UK, in which role I'd guess there are maybe a few thousand... possibly less.

I am the one and only. Nobody I'd rather be. Can't take that away from me.

Depending on how specific you choose to be; probably 20 or so people. You could widen the description and it'd be a few hundred.

Buying and selling cars, buying and selling ferrous/non-ferrous metals and catalytic convertors, breaking cars and selling parts, sourcing new parts from suppliers for customers, general mechanic work, general office work including organising work for the other mechanics, doing wages, tax returns etc., fitting tyres, van/lorry driving, digger driving, and last but not least, farming khaki campbell ducks.

Anyone else do all that?

I checked with the governing body "Stunt Cocks Incorporated", and they said they'll get back to me with numbers.

I am a full time close up magician smile
Seriously?

I fecking LOVE this, me. I went to a posh dinner at a big stately home a few years back, and there was a close up / table magician going round doing tricks.

I thought it was great - even close up and trying to watch his every move, I could not work out the tricks. I can see it must take years of practice to get that good.

I caught him at the bar later and bought him a couple of beers and got chatting about the whole thing and how he got into it.

After a while, he said 'come on, I'll show you how I do some of the more common tricks' and we went over to where he had his 'box of tricks.'

He showed me a few tricks, and I couldn't spot how they were done, until he slowed right down and told me where to look. Once I could see how it was done, it was so simple and yet so clever - the sleight of hand and misdirection - totally awesome IMHO!

Was a mechanic, but can't find any work so I'm stuck temping in a warehouse.

The number of people who could do my job must be in the billions.

No. I think he's called Danny. When he spikes someone, they know they've been spoken to.

Jobwise, I mostly drink coffee with farmers. Pretty much anyone could do that.
