A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
did not Peter Berger deal with that in the "social construction of reality" many moons ago?
ReplyDeleteGreat article on the dying (dead?)UK car industry.
ReplyDelete15 years of working in Japan's car industry showed me the UK has no hope. A few great engineers doesn't make an industry (and the vast majority of UK engineers aren't great, or even good - the schools are dodgy and the universities aren't half as good as we all like to think).
I say: move over, leave it to the Asians (and Germans), kill off the UK's car 'industry' and go do something else.
that's why I benefit from coming here (plus I have no friends now, they all agreed I was odd).
ReplyDeletefive pages on British car industries?! that's why I prefer blogs.
