    Why do we insist on exporting our manufacturing jobs?

    Its not just steel under threat its virtually every high energy manufacturing company in the country and you know what, 'self imposed' green energy taxes are one of the major reasons. An interesting article from the Spectator on why the UK has to pay the price! Madness! Fraser...

    Marvelous sight, watching the Flying Scotsman leave Kings Cross

    Straight away nostalgia kicks in! I suppose you youngsters are wondering what the fuss is about with your X-boxes, Computers and Mobile phone etc. But for people like me there is just something magic about Steam Trains! Maybe it the engineer in me because you can look at a Steam Engine...

    How helpful did you find the CTP?

    I ask this question because I have contacted them twice, once in 2014 and I tried again very recently with an offer of a series of free demonstration workshops, at a local RAF station, which would introduce Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), allowing me to explain where and how they are used...

    E-goats stance on Racism

    Just been following the thread! Past Engineering post is excellent and well worth a read! A couple of questions though! Who is Chippy? Why did the Talk Wrench re-act to Gord’s remarks, on a none PC site, the way he did? I thought this was the whole point of E goat...

    Is Labour being hi-jacked by 'hard' left wing activists? .

    Jeremy Corbin comes across as a relatively likable conviction politician, who has spent most of his time in parliament, along with a few others, like Ken Livingstone, Dian Abbot and Dennis Skinner, who have enjoyed the privilege of disagreeing with their own party on many of the policies...

    Well done BBC!

    Green lasers can blind people..and they can be legally purchased from the internet. How long will it be before every 'Nob Head' in the country starts to carry one as an offensive weapon?

    Are we Nuts?

    Why are we starting on Egypt with this ‘Fcuking’ stupid human rights thing! Have the do-gooder’s learned absolutely nothing? Why are these people so concerned about the human right of the few? Why can’t they admit that the only way you can deal with extremism, is with extreme measurers...

    Is the bank of England coming for your cash?

    There is a rumor going around in the financial circles, backed up by people like, Marryn Somerset Web (Money Week), that the Bank of England Chief economist, Andrew Haldane gave a speech saying how he would like to band cash!. The logic to this is makes sense if you consider how much tax the...

    Russia joins in the fight against terror!

    How does the Goat feel? Personally I think it’s a good thing! Ok they are supporting Assad. So what!.....the so called Arab spring has brought nothing but grief to the West and the so called democratic process we are supposed to be supporting against Assad will bring nothing but more grief...

    Another Human Rights Madness!!

    We have 300 people from Jamaicans, who have committed crimes in their country, currently in our Jails at the cost to the Tax payer of about £10 million/year. Logic says they should be sent back to their own country to serve their sentence… but No!!... We can’t send them back because the...

    What really worries me about the Migrant crisis!!

    We are on a daily basis confronted by pictures of migrants trying to flood across the boarders of Europe and all we hear is criticism and how inhumane it is if any country tries to turn them back, fingerprint them or in any way try to impede their progress. Hungary the other day got it in the...

    Why should I work!

    Do you know something I have already accumulated enough money to keep me going in my olds age plus, I am not rich but I am not poor either but why should I bother accumulating anything when you are threaten with a government who, will probably take it all away in taxes. Why not sell up… spend...

    Are we one step away from economic chaos!

    Our present dept is 1.56 trillion this means we are spending 43 billion pound in interest that’s more than we spend on defence. Give or take a few million the government tax take is 746 billion so our dept is virtually twice out GDP. Governments rely on the markets to support this spending by...

    Is it time for English Independence?

    I am getting really hack off! Don’t get me wrong I was horrified at the thought that Scotland might leave the union. Now, I wish they had gone…. and what a mess they would be in! With the oil price drop their whole economic plan would have been in tatters and Sturgeon and Salmond would...

    Would you be a Teacher?

    Decided to read my first Ofsted reports for one of the local academy schools, not because I still have kids at the school but because my wife works there and told me that their rating had dropped from ‘Outstanding’ to ‘Require improvement’ which I thought was a bit odd! The first thing to note...

    So what happens if Salmond wins!

    Divorce is never easy, especially when there is money at stake and one of the parties don’t want the divorce. No matter what Salmond says the break up will not be civilised! ‘Team Scotland’ will be fighting ‘Team England’ for a long time to come if the Scots do vote for independence!!? If it...

    Should we ever get involved in Middle Eastern Politics!

    Ok the British and the French probably made a mess of dividing the Middle East after the fall of the Ottoman Empire after World War I. But I think we tried to understand what was going on by dividing the population and splitting into areas which could be controlled, not so much by us, but by...

    So what do you techies want to do when you leave!!?

    I have to tell you guys its can be a bit sticky out there without some sort of long term plan! Something I didn’t have when I left in 1991 and it took me many years to come to realise that Control Engineering/Automation is the way to go. If you intend going into this industry then you will need...

    Sorry Guys Scottish Independence again!

    Disappointed that this threat has gone away! This is really, probably, one of the most important threads, since the Romans invaded GREAT Britain! We have so much history and the history should go on! This is not just about Scotland this is about every country that has ever flown the British...
