Im a qualified florist and done my course with my sister in law, She passed with Distinctions i passed with a credit on my final exam. I now have my own shop and have been working in floristry for 3 yrs, she is now unemployed after working in a BANK for 3 yrs, she never worked in a shop after leaving college.

It upsets me to think that she walks around claiming to be a florist because she has her qualification. She will attempt to make a funeral item every now and again but i will not have any association with it because its usually pretty awful.

Just thought i'd have that little rant!! Apologies...

Good Luck Steven, i hope all goes well for your shop.
