Well my director called me today as i was in HQ, well regional office as Inverness is now HQ. An aside, but in his carpeted premises I was instructed to deliver a talk on pavement design and the new European specs on concrete.

Voting for a performance design gives me a profile of you, consultant type, product of a uni, revels in facts and figures, particularly if there's a published paper in it. Push the design boundaries when there's no risk for you. Bet you wear a tie every working day and classic value for money brogue shoes, in that your children will get wear from them?
