I would also like to meet VC10 and Spart. I think we have similar backgrounds. I was an RR apprentice. I studied day release and evenings to get a good technical education whilst working for RR. I used my National Service to enhance my qualification to degree standard at Heriot Watt Uni in Edinburgh. I then worked as an engine designer for 10 years, before breaking out (with a partner) into a design engineering company. We designed and supplied some big projects in railway and vehicle brake testing, exhaust emission testing. We supplied to USA, Germany, France, Italy etc. Then Mrs Thatcher came along and shafted - big time - British industry in pursuit of controlling the Trades Unions. Some may consider it to have been worth the sacrifice. I don't. She did more damage than Goering to our industries. I think at this point VC10 and I disagree. I have become a lifelong anti-Tory and he is a dyed in the wool Conservative. But from what I have read of his posts I admire him and respect him. I am a retainer, and I think he is a leaver. I have liked many of Spart's posts and I think we would get on.
To top all of the above, we are all Derby County supporters of long standing. COYR
What is wring with DCFC's crowd?
