This is interesting and perhaps a cultural difference - In all my years of working with various companies, large and small, (in the UK), I have never been in an office that was not open plan. The concept of cubicles or separate, individual offices strikes fear into my heart.
People seem less...
With your military experience are there any openings within the US Navy nuclear fleet support industries. In the UK a lot of ex Royal Navy submariners work for Rolls Royce Associates who do that sort of work and there must be similar situations in the States
Hi Bridgebuster - Same with me - only got to stick it until 7th Sept. Things seem to have fallen of a cliff lately and it's all box ticking and trying to meet impossible targets with no staff. Pity really because we have stacks of work and billions of £'s of orders but actually getting the job...
1.You think you have a problem
2.You hire consultants
3.They ask lots of questions
4.They come up with a 'solution' based on the answers to the questions which is the same one as your staff could have given you for free if you had ever listened to them
5.You ignore the consultants solution...
If a new motor is not an option could you not reduce the speed with a vee belt pulley drive which would be pretty low cost. A lot of modern motor oil is very thin even when cold, (although it depends on what you call cold I suppose).
That whole length of coastline is notoriously unstable and people die in rockfalls all to regularly. A young lady from my area died whilst walking along the beach around there when a section of cliff collapsed on to her.
I am amazed the the golf club did not fence the whole area off immediately...
On BBC Radio 4 this morning they were discussing the fire safety tests on the cladding and the 100% failure rate. It seems that the test regime that has been applied has not been disclosed so it is difficult to say how valid the tests are.
The OP is correct that the EU will not let the UK leave which is of immense relief to at least half of the population assuming that Mrs May is not stupid enough to go for a full Hard Bretix. With regards to not wanting to come to the UK because the sun does not shine as much as in California I...
Greece has economic conditions that are statistically more sever than the Great Depression in the USA. The average citizen has been hit very hard and there is next to nothing they can do about it on an individual level so I can understand the bitterness.
Rather than North America or the EU why...
Hi Big and Little Inches
Thanks for the information about pipeline life expectancy. I also did not know about UK gas not being odourised in the primary network anymore. How would they find a leak if/when external corrosion starts to be an issue and how big would it need to be before it could be...
This is all very interesting. What is the normal life of a pipeline? In my area there is part of the UK natural gas distribution network which I remember being laid in 1968. The pipe is underground and around 24" diameter and judging by the absence of a smell or a big hole has remained safe for...
