Cabinet maker or furniture maker that Gaz, but really all the same trade, just different specialities or sub divisions, some just prefer to called different names. :D


Parts departments just a hobby :lol:

Yeah I suppose it all started with a "Woodworker" then people would have broke off into "Splinter" groups :lol:

When Andy and I were little girls and mechanical pumps were king
That may of been what a engineer was
But thanks to the likes of bt sky and those who dispatch operatives to peoples homes

It sounds better to say an engineer will be with you shortley
Than " put a lock on your knickker draw luv theres some perv coming to fix you phone"
Hence now we call anyone an engineer really
The English language is alive my dear boy :P
Hope this helps

:lol: Funnily enough, the driver's side electric window has packed up on Mrs PDQ's otherwise very reliable '99 Passat, I'm thinking why not put a manual one on, you're sitting next to the f"*%ing thing for christ's sake, and I can crank one down with a winder faster than the electric one works anyway, a needlessly over complicated piece of sh*t, which saves you no time, however it seems they never made one with a winder, so I suppose I'll have to give in and fix it then. :roll:

Yes, but submarines have to stand a much more extreme environment ( much higher pressure difference) than either aeroplanes or spaceships do, you want the guy in the shirt and tie doing the maths, who designed it in the first place to be really f*%?ing good at his job :idea: . No matter how good the man with the spanners is, if the design is flawed, you're gooched. :shock:
