avocet has it just right...also made me laugh. well said.
how long before were all in lumy green coats, on top of our lifejackets i hasten to add.
not so many yrs gone by you were allowed to be called a "engineer" if you had a degree in..............yes...engineering....
now ..........................................................well, its another story. were all "senior" engineers and " can i see the "senior" bin man please...
seriously, part of the problem is that times are a changin. a little like industrial past did 200 yrs ago.
how many of us can now go under the car bonnet and undestand it. ? phew !!!
we must go forward. but to do that you have to look back. (w.churchill) not me.
were surrounded by water, yes, i know, obvious hey...umm. but where is that great spirit we had, invention, independence, plucky blokes who could turn their hand to anything.
plenty still out there but i am afraid were a dying breed.
on a more cheerful note.....happy easter to you all.
