Mates,
go on thinking you are the only one , you will go far.
i have helped some Brits who made some mistakes before and i am still helping some nowadays not only because i am their Shift Manager but thats a way of thinking ... and i am not taking myself for God as some other guys here ...
do you need names and places and companies ?
it is not because a country got a Licensing system before another one that their Engineers are "better"...
was it a proof that you were not a butcher or a baker ?
have a look on your ex-colonies , some of their Engineers have a higher level ... think about it !
Cheers and Brgds.
MM.
