Thanks Bill & everyone for the welcome.
As an Englishman I 'carried the tools' in London and SE England followed by a spell runing my own domestic contracting business until the usual difficulties in getting payment raised its continuously ugly head and I joined AEI Cables, a group company of GEC England; where I served as Export & Composite Contracts Manager,selling power cables and managing a small team of engineers providing a supervisory installation and maintenance service to a number of UK Regional Electrical Authorities - mainly the London, Eastern and Southern Boards, but also in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States.
I am now retired, living in Kent with a continuing interest in elecricity in all its forms - in particular, electrical theory - with photography as a somewhat less captivating subject.
I am presently avidly viewing your various discussion groups.
