He was a visionary that Joe Lucas. His company still holds the standard. They didn't give me a job back in 1990, and it took me years to realise that I wouldn't have wanted it in the first place.Electricity IS smoke! (quote: Joe Lucas).
It was a funny interview. Couple of unfriendly people in suits (presumably from HR) started things off, then some scruffy guy with curly hair, who I assume was a mad scientist, turned up and started talking at me about different types of fluid pump in great detail. I remember trying to humour him and wishing he'd go away so I could get back to takling to the suited folk who didn't seem that bad after all and would presumably be the ones in the position to do the job offering.
Ended up working in Darlington for a company that welded really big stainless steel things, and when they finished they'd ask me to retrieve the earth clamp.
