That explains it. I was picturing trembling hands, holding metal tools as they enter a live panel. Probably not good. I'd have recommended brain-surgery instead, maybe.

Always wondered about Shakeys name. Thought perhaps it was because he comes from Wales and there was some tenuous link to Shakin Stevens.

But now we know!

Oh theres lots out there i cant answer, I have a 'hole' in my knowledge, a real grey area, i am surprised no one has noticed that there are certain subject matters that i NEVER comment on

How come you aint lecturing anymore Dinosaur?

I did it for 7 years (electrical engineering as opposed to installations), then binned it for 10 years, and swore i would never go back.......how times change

i am lecturing but not in college (hated the politics) so have taken a pay cut and do it for a private company. Much more relaxed and the students are more attentive coz they are spending their own money and been "forced to learn" been 'teaching for about 8 years.

very true, who'd you rather teach? the lads who have just come up from school or the mature ones who are paying for the course (retorical q btw)

If You Build It, They Will Come n If it aint broken don't fix it!

taken a pay cut? we pay our electrical tutors a lot more than the starting rate that the local college does........were you high up the pay grading in college or does your company just not pay a lot
