Not wishing to detract from the more serious point on your post there, I could not help but think "better than sitting around here on our elbows."
Between leaving the RAF and running away from life to retirement in France, I worked for a number of years at the Open University. As a result of working with some scarily clever people I have to say that I would trust them to build the UK's new nuclear power stations, but I would doubt they could tie their own shoelaces or work out which way to sit on a toilet.
