3     As the country marks Armed Forces Week, new  research from British Gas reveals a gap between what the public thinks veterans do after service and the reality of where their skills are now in demand.  We speak to Anthony Williams, British Gas engineer who served 12 years in the military about his experience in civilian life and note what skills he and other service people bring to all our lives.
