We do seem to invent a lot of new things but rarely make a success out of it ourselves and just sell the innovation or technology on. Remember sir Clive Sinclair he invented the original pocket calculator if I recall and of course the C5 electric car/trike ?. I wonder what his feelings on brexit would be?

Why are we not top dogs in digital electronics, computers and, well, thinking machines? because the British never follow through,they invent something and then leave it up to someone else to market and produce it. The Americans make and use the hovercraft militarily, it could have been further developed and used for so many things. The fledgling beginnings of computerization began at Bletchley park with Alan Turing but it was left to the Americans to develop computers for every day use. The great British car industry had tradition but poor management poor quality and an unenthusiastic workforce drove it into the ground. The aerospace industry was left without government support and the Americans were glad of the shortsightedness and took over the laurels, Heavy Industry declined through union greed and poor management. A great deal of blame must be placed with the company owners and management, no innovation, no modernization, just same old,same old, and pocket the profits, no worker participation was wanted so we had strikes,I can remember these times and was so glad to get out and leave the UK for a chance of a better life which I found in Germany, modern,outward looking,innovative and fair to there workforce., so no I don't like the UK I haven't been back in 48 years except for three days on a business trip for my German company. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, a lot were needed, I can remember the times how care free the UK was with the environment, London smog, swimming in the sea at Southend among turds, the amount of rubbish just thrown on to the streets ( you complain about Thailand but 50 years ago the UK was just as bad) tipping motor oil down the drains after an oil change and so on, the EU changed a lot of things for the better although the UK government is still fighting valiantly to keep London the most polluted city in Europe,they would rather pay the fines, be careful what you wish for 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
