I like your style John, although it shows in slightly poor light one or two individuals of my previous acquaintance - often ETPS graduates - who would turn up, fly tests, take over a month to write a report, then be almost permanently unavailable to the FTE who wants to discuss the results.

FJJP - whilst the various schools provide superb training, don't go thinking that you have to be a TPS graduate to be called a TP, or to be a good TP. Just not true.


I do think that, apart from John's point which is mostly moral, it all rather shows that somebody neutral - such as SETP, formally laying down some terminology for us all to use, would be a jolly good thing. We are clearly not all using the same dictionary!
