Sorry to hear that John. I see plenty of men in their 60s working in supermarkets and they all have a "bright" air about them, as if they are "technically above" it but happy to be in work anyway - as it sounds that you would be. Maybe you have bad luck with the local supermarket managers round your way. Hope you find something. Good luck!

In reply to Blue Straggler:

because you get to use ( possibly sometimes ) tables and words like calibre , coefficients , Relative humidity , Barometric etc etc , it also seems like an interesting science to me .

Admittedly maybe not great reasons but I studied soundwaves and energy transfer type stuff for a little while and enjoyed it but don't get to use much of what I learnt very often .

In reply to boogie man:

I don't do much of the science; it's a far more intelligence led job. Which, to me, having been out to the pub with some of the boffins, is a far more interesting job than working behind the microscope. But in terms of what the advances in ballistics have made possible from an intelligence perspective, now that IS awesome

The bit of DECC that I work in is the regulator for upstream UK oil & gas industry. My job is to try to ensure that all of the oil & gas produced from licensed areas (fields ) in the UK and on the UK Continental Shelf is measured and allocated according to what we call 'good oilfield practice'. This involves a bit of presentational work, writing guidelines to set out our expectations on operators (oil companies) and occasional visits to onshore and offshore installations (in the UK and Norway) to check that the agreed methods are being followed.

Really? Our specific interest at the time was trying to see if we could do something like that with mulch that came out of the AD in MBT we were planning. We were told in no uncertain terms that we couldn't use it for an food based use if it was from an unsegregated domestic waste stream due to possible contamination no matter how many different treatments were applied to it. I figured waste water would be the same considering it, obviously, includes fecal matter.

I singled out Nottingham because it was my study area for my doctorate, not because its 'special'. So maybe this is normal for post industrial Britain.

I basically only let to let the boss know when I'm not going to be available due to family commitments - or if it looks like a fine day is coming up and I want to go out on the bike!
