    !!!! Turpin didn't rob beggars.

    Actual history is less kind to Turpin than legend. He was far from the Robin Hood character than the legend suggests...

    So was Robin Hood for that matter (apparently). :)

    Huh?

    Employment wise, the technical professions ARE persecuted in this country.
    Well, I'm employed in a technical profession (and have been for around 40 years) and I've never felt persecuted when working in the UK.


    Have you ever considered the possibility that it's not technical professions that are persecuted, simply you that feels persecuted?

    There are plenty of jobs claim to be technical but actually are not.

    So what's your definition of technical?

    I'm a Project Engineer in the Oil & Gas industry (supplying distributed control systems) ... is my job technical?

    I did a desk job for 6 years, hated it, hated working with dumb people who because they worked in an office, thought they'd "made it" in life.

    Equally I spent a time working with a bunch of product designers who never left the office and designed products that reflected their lack of hands on experience.

    Any job i've had in a technical business, where they had more admin staff than technical, has been hell to work in. In those jobs it was easier to get a new pencil sharpener than it is to get a new screwdriver, in fact one role I got so sick of asking and so sick of being questioned as to why things take so long, that I ended up having to buy my own tools, which I then had to fight to keep when I left.

    But this is not what OP was about, if you want a rant then start another thread.

    I'm merely pointing out that sometimes you can't point the finger at any one person, especially when the work culture in a company is rotten to the core.

    Licenced aircraft engineer with full avionic coverage and some airframe/engine coverage holding licences issued by the UK CAA, Nigeria, Trinidad and Guyana, certified on a wide range of small and medium helicopters.

    Technical enough?
