For beginners
Bob It was one of the first questions from my mouth, “Do you work for NHS?” And she said, “Why do you say that?” And I said, “It is just a feeling.” She said, “I have worked in NHS all my life.” I just thought, I am a small employer, what will be the opposite? Perhaps a civilian employee.
JC When I discovered where you used to work, he went somewhat, “Huh, I thought that.”
Bob I had grilled beef.
JC I had a vegetable barbecue.
Large beef
Bob We talked about the ownership of the second house. I don’t think you can stop it. You may think I am biased because I am guilty of it, but it is different for me and my wife, because one day we will choose between living here or in Canada. Here, he told us constantly that we cannot afford this or we cannot bear it. Do we need social housing in this country? Through the sounds of things, we need a lot of social housing because, in the 1980s, Margaret Thatcher decided that every English man must have his own castle and their skin all.
JC For me, it is not about the second or third homes, as it stands empty. I feel the same thing about angel who do not maintain their properties. Emotional examples were given to younger colleagues in an attempt to find a place to live in; Only to rent, you have to give bids to the demand price – it’s a real squid game. I think it agrees to social housing, but it wants to shrink the state.
Bob Certainly we need a new social housing program? After the Second World War, Winston Churchill was eliminated from his post because the people of the country said, “We have endured five years of difficulties and war, where is our reward?” Suddenly, Attlee comes, despite the fact that we were bankrupt, we were able to start NHS and the largest housing program we have ever seen. Breaking or bankruptcy, everything Bolocks, right? You just have to take the long view.
JC He said that you need to be bold and carry the risks, and what you need for this powerful leaders. Then he referred to Boris Johnson and Najel Faraj, and said, “But these two are uselessly functional.” Later, he referred to Churchill and Angela Merkel, who fits with the description of the “leader” slightly better.
Sharing panel
JC He said: “I was told that I lack sympathy.” And I thought, listening to what he said, there is a lot of similarity between engineering and medicine: it must be clear; The consequences of obtaining them are great. I found it completely and exactly sympathetic, I will not agree with the absence of sympathy. I asked who said that, and said, “My wife.”
Bob As engineers, you must have something final material that works. It is not a set of ideas, it is a final element. So you strive for the best way to do something. This means, especially in manufacturing, you have to search on the next horizon. You cannot take a short offer.
Well
Bob We discovered very early that we had a lot of common denominators during Covid.
JC He was doing test devices for the front of the front lines, and I was working in a vaccine experience – we were working on the same goals.
Bob I think about all these wonderful people- engineers and research scientists- who spent hours, hours and hours of sleep under their offices, and they are equipping 80 to 100 hours.
Fast food
Bob It was delighted. We shook hands. I don’t think we will see each other again.
JC It was curious. I think he might be ready for the battle, then he did not find it.
