    They still have welders up there? Not replaced them with robots yet? big advantages in that they dont grumble and work 24 x 7.

    Your dead right tho, it was a democratic vote and we can argue what the outcome will be until the cows come home, fact is UK voted to leave.

    Living in Europe there has never been much debate over Brexit becuase they see it as UK leaving and dont see what needs to be negotiated, last big story I read in a German newspaper was over the amount of money that UK had to pay to leave which seems ages ago now.

            Understanding what engineering one is attempting to manage would be a refreshing trend

              Excel is for amateurs.

              You can do Gantt charts in the BI tool if you want!

                  MS Project Did anyone EVER do a project plan in project ?

                  Did work at one place where they made us use Primavera right enough, so project might have been a better option.

                    Not a full project plan, but my parts of it. Drove the PM crazy with his colouring in of excel cells.

                    I only used it cause I had a legal copy of it. Was great to show him that I was hitting 250% usage based on his plan.

                      That's how a proper PM spends his days. Colouring in excel cells for £650 a day.

                      Crap PM's make lists of tasks and try to get them done on time and in synch. Colouring in is a much greater skill.
