You're right I had missed the consumer bit (Home) and in many ways that does get missed far too often. That is where the real money is of course so it does seem a little naive but the Universities as well as business have long realised this - the problem is putting the sign-posters in place and...

A proud moment if not very useful. Barring the odd wobble from some on here I doubt that many minds have been changed in any meaningful way. Just hot air and passing the day away because we don't get 'paid' enough by the Government to go on a beneficial holiday (fact-finding) cruise around the...

Don't really follow your logic here OG. Appreciate that you can use any twist or turn to heap scorn on the man but, surely that is the art of negotiation? You cannot possibly adopt a rigid stance when you negotiate? Unless, of course, you hold all the cards and that clearly is not the case for...

STC, mentioned later, were very big in micro-wave transmission at the time and that is why we have tiny aerials along with the electronic switches needed to provide modern day communications. Back then the switch was in the back of a 3 tonne lorry and could handle perhaps a 100 or so...

Possibly yes but in all probability, no. I think that we have enjoyed relative peace and even prosperity because of such military developments. I didn't mention, but we also had flexible screens able to act as loud speakers that could be hung on a wall and a very primitive form of Sat-Nav...

In those days, late 70's we were working on mobile phones. Big ones, Needed a rucksack to carry the thing and the claim was that for the first time it would mean that the General would be able to speak directly with a tank commander on the battlefield, Sort of came to pass but it was certainly...

We like them to be human and more like us. In some cases, not all of course and that generally applies to the so-called Left.

Many thanks for sharing and much appreciated - I might begin to look on you through new eyes albeit I reserve the right to react to current events and indeed comments. I was in the military at the time, seconded to industry saw many of the ideas including the ability to walk around a chess board...

Just bluffing - he knows that the European Commission on Human Rights will prevent it happening.

How come we don't appear to have gained much from the meeting of those minds -- perhaps you've just forgotten? I can't believe, not for a second, that such a group would have been anything other than focussed on their own futures and respective bottom lines. Unless TB was the Chair? Not sure if...

We vote for Political Parties having listened to what they say and hopefully judging them by their earlier actions. Somewhat naively, I feel, in the hope that they mean what they say. When I went to school it was the Party for a General Election and the Individual for a Local Election - that...

Very!

Blair, and the others obviously thought that Labour needed to change if it were ever to be electable - I think he proved the point? OK some of you, obviously not all, didn't like the step change and prefer not to represent the majority of middle England. I see history repeating itself here...

Yes, but I knew what I was saying! As for the investors abusing the public, that's a bit rich and just a little disjointed. There again if you really think that you were so wrong in not understanding Human Greed, to then somehow link that with 'slave labour' in the Far East. Why did the...

No argument with you there, but you do seem to have rather more shades of grey to distinguish between right and wrong, or even left or right than some of us on here.

What an amazing explanation. Probably on a par with turning water into wine albeit not as useful. Or in your case wine into water?

Where did I say wages were going to rise - I think you just say want you want to say regardless of anything else. 'Haven't you noticed they are going down and the cost of living going up?' Of course I've noticed - I think it has something to do with us living beyond our means - remember when...

One thing you can be sure of is that 'we' are all going to need far more bikes. To help occupy all the spare time that people have on their hands, or feet, whatever. There won't be too many poorly paid workers being taken advantage of in this country - in the not too distant future, that's for...
