    Sorry, didn't quite get the drift of what you were saying. Not a people person you see.

      Chapelcross, was 15 years ago (heck!), being decommed now, undergoing defuelling now I think, made loads of mates there still keep in touch.

      Our then BNFL IT section had been newly outsourced to an American Company with a scientifically-oriented TLA-name and a litigious reputation and we had all sorts of new bods flying around trying to empire-build and make names for themselves, hence cock-ups like I described.

      I left because they wanted to make me permie.

        I get loads of bodgers who claim to be able to do what I do, but very few can do it properly. Unfortunately, the agents and hiring managers rarely have a clue either.
        The danger is that the bodgers lead the way and you have to become one of them to keep up.

          It is my experience, in my niche area, that the bodgers don't last long. Then word gets round that they are not very good.
          I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
