So there you go Ghengis; us engineers like to fix things and make the world a better place to live in, but folks actually prefer the horse and cart, candles, open coal fires and sailing ships. They don't want all this new-fangled jiggery-pokery. Leave the pilots to twiddle their knobs and fine tune their propellors by hand. Meanwhile us engineers can live in warmth and comfort and enjoy the view.

Where would we be without engineers? In caves, dressed in animal hides thats where. And a much better place the world would be too, no doubt.

Keep on inventing Isambard
