Yes mate,loads on here have done it. They didnt have a choice. eictb boys etc.
At least youll know more than all the other. Youll breeze it.
Welcome to the forum Lee

Welcome Lee , just give them young guns loads of grief Lee and keep them amused with tales of the old ways ;)
 
Welcome Lee, plenty of experienced hands have had to do the same as you.
I'm not sure if they learnt anything new though.
 
Thanks,will probably do it in Erith,saw that someone mentioned Beckton,you know if that's still going,would be better for me I live right next to new Docklands in Shadwell.

Depends who your on with Lee. Not a lot changed for streetbashers.:D
 
Don't worry bud there was 2 blokes who really didn't need to be doing part ones when I went. The young uns will like having an experienced bloke watching over them. Good luck!

Now am I a VIP Mod or just a Mod......
