    Life had taught me that, unremittingly positive, continually smiley people are actually quite sinister and they should never ever be trusted under any circumstances.

    What a sad life you have experienced then ....... :(

    Mr Ree, I thought you said you were retired in previous posts??

    I am retired ... in that I am collecting my Pension - but, due to the massive shortfall in manpower I go in on a Consultancy basis ..... £1,500 a day is the going rate for my vast experience.

    Sadly, though, new entrants have to suffer a very poor £50k Salary ... this very quickly increases, however.

    Had to laugh Mr Ree. thats a very specialised area - no wonder you struggle to find new people.

    id love to work in that area, but unfortuntely my lowly electrionics background isnt going to cut it.

    We want Electronics Engineers too !!!!!!!

    If you are Chartered and/or Degree Educated and can work on the cutting edge of Science - you're IN!!

  • Inflation is coming down and its not really unexpected this months drop has been penciled in for months as VAT has fallen off the calculation the next big drop is June when last year food inflation finally slowed right down. The other big inflation driver is sterling falling against major currencies which again does not look likely. Inflation will be below 2% before the year end its just maths really.

    If last June saw a drop in food inflation then unless this happens again with the same or greater force, the result will tend to be an increase, not a decrease, in the headline annual inflation rate for this coming June

    Unfortunately I gdid say lowley :(

    dont have a degree, I have HNC and NVQs and am a tech not an engineer. Im council registered but not chartered. My knowledge is in repair/fault finding not design.

    Shame - I need a new challenge. I do however know of many degree qualified engineers, from my background, with 20-30 years experience looking at new posts.
