Hopefully soon I'll be able to do the coalition a little favour by reducing the unemployment figures by one (every little helps! ), because today I've just completed - and passed! - an RTITB-accredited FLT course (counterbalance), and I was so chuffed that I'd managed it, I went home without a care in the world, in the middle of a snow blizzard, and was singing "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" on my way!

I should mention in passing that I hate most Christmas songs, except that one about the spaceman calling (was it Chris de Burgh who did that one?).

Word of advice to anyone doing FLT: it helps enormously if you have driving experience, as two of the blokes doing the same course discovered. I don't, and that kept bringing me up short on steering in reverse - those controls are so sensitive, and I kept oversteering. But after a couple of practice runs, I cracked it!

Congratulations on passing with flying colours.
