      No, Jim 59

      That's only the result of using the least expensive collection of stock website images. The pictures they tag as "Engineers" all have hardhats

    Like since 1996 when Tool and Die making left England, and I ended up an IT whore

    Pity they have to try twice as hard as some shite men engineers to get the same recognition

    But they do brighten up the workshop and know some very crude jokes!
