    German trained "Mechatroniker"

    I've worked alongside quite a few German and Dutch Mechatronic guys that are trained to the same level as yourself and it's obvious to me that they all would find a maintenance job here with no real issues, very well trained people! However I've worked with a young Polish guy that did a...

    Dog's Danglies or what?

    Ah yes misread it sorry, wasn't having a dig I was just thinking about tool addicts and how much they spend on the next new shiny thing! But even so when you look at just basic tools you already have and use everyday it can add up to a considerable amount
