Situations

One page per situation. Each says what people ask, what is known, what no search can return, and where the people who have been through it gather.

• Leaving the forces after years in — what's the first year actually like?
• Moving back to the UK after years abroad — and back to the town you left
• First in your family to go to university — should you, and what's it like?
• Who lived on this street, who ran the shop, and what was it like?
• The last people who still make it by hand — crafts with a handful of practitioners left
• What a job is actually like, from someone doing it — not the website version
• Retraining as a teacher in your forties — is it worth it, and what's it really like?
