In defence of old engineers

[Dotty]

You can tell an old school engineer though Phil. They wouldn't tell us. They'd come on here for a spot of advice, get told no and why, and that would be the last we'd hear of them. They'd go off and quietly work it out for themselves. I genuinely believe that a few of us fall into that category.

I'm not going into the proving competency argument. That's another thread for another day.

Not being funny but if this was just a general poster saying I'm an engineer or i am good at this that other and going to pipe my cooker this thread would be closed.

Saying that about the oldies did you see the apprentice the other night where one of the goons was trying to screw a nail in , they were also clueless on how to use a tap measure and pricing manual work .

Not the biggest fan of the programme but it was hilarious to anyone from a trade background.
