Of course woptb, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. I was just expressing mine which happens to be slightly different.
I didn't expect to post it without upsetting someone! It is very un-PC and very un-British!
However I stand by my comment. I too have worked all over the world. In fact I currently live overseas and work as an Overseas Station Engineer for a UK airline. I hold UK B1/B2, FAA A&P with IA and Canadian AME. The British one was by far the most difficult to earn, and is the most strictest one to maintain with all my type ratings.
