Excellent contribution Karl my dear rum punch drinking Co-functional professional , neither my grand father, Louis Lyniswern or my famous father, Louis Lyniswern II could have put it better.
Dreadfully sorry to confuse you Mark old bean, where shall I begin, oh yes, once upon a time there was this very handsome EBME engineer, he didn't have much in the way of creature comforts but he was a very hard worker, devoted to getting his daily chores completed. Over the other side of the hill was Prince EBME tech, now prince EBME tech lived in an exclusive crystal glass castle type workshop and was looked upon by his peers as a right old “mad for it” jewel in the crown, and his plush surroundings were worthy of all the other departments in his castle. Poor handsome EBME decided to poll other fellow (compatriot, co-workers, fellow functional etc) from around the land to find what standards their surroundings, (workshop kennel, etc.) met. The replies where exceptional my dear Mark full of “resigned to the fact”. Sarcasm, if not slightly sympathetic to the handsome princes cause.
One eminent chap, the good Dr. Carnoustie didn't even have an AGSS facility. As it turns out most EBME departments are usually sited as far away as is geographically possible from the hub of our trusts, usually in portacabins, old power stations, old basements, buildings due for demolition etc. Reasons stem from “lack of funds” to plain old “don't want you here” . so on and so on…. Did they live happily ever after…I think not. Well mark, hope this has cleared the matter up for you…. Would still like to hear views from Hope hospital though, especially as our good comrade John has brought to us the reality of PFI or KPO (Krout parasite organisation) eventually taking over our empire. P.S. my dear mister mercury man, ha, if that is your real name,,, I think not !!! one day you might be out and about, unable to get back in because a big Frankfurter eating 2 Meter high bouncer will be have invaded your kennel…..
