You can see how they put a rocket into orbit with engineering skills like that. Just a pity they never got round to keeping the plumbing going after we left them to their own devices.

That's quite an assertion.

When I was an apprentice we had a trip round the Ferodo factory in Chapel-en-le-frith. It wasn't like the video.....
As far as H&S goes, you don't have to go that far back to find similar conditions in the UK, child labour etc.
