What trades and occupations have been in your family?

[Queen B]

can you fix my car for me?

No, I'm not an Automotive engineer, but an Automation one.
I can program you an automated line in a factory, or make a study of your application to tell you which automated products to use, etc, even make a mini robot for ya, but no cars
At the moment, I'm working on factory automation, so mostly industrial applications

My family has been in shipping and port maintenance on the North Sea coastline of England for five centuries. They've also been involved in barley and oats farming and brewing during peacetime. In times of war they've generally been cavalrymen and operators of military vessels (both in WWI and WWII).
