You might see a few minutes break in my posts just now -----------
this is because I just had a doorstop chat with the mother of an enginner who worked and trained in the Nuclear stations in France - 2 or 3 of them I think. And he also travels internationally and worked in SK for about a year I think.
I didn't give her any leading information - nothing. I said that our opposition has just come out with a plan to build some nuclear power stations in Australia by 2037
she said ------------------------------ pfffffffffffffffffft!
that was it
I then began to say that we had no nuclear industry - she interrupted and said -
'it wouldn't matter if you had'.
thank god I didn't tell her about the STEMS brain drain or the gutting of STEMS research in the last years or mention the severe shortage of nuclear workers
'pfffffffffffffffft!' was enough
ps - I can't spell the sound that the French make for 'that's ridiculous' ------- it's more lid a farting pfffffffffffffft ---- but, pffffffffffffffft will suffice
not really one of these, but one gets the picture
