Appearances are important. But so is substance. I don't hang out with
girls that are all fur coat and no knickers, as we say round here :)
Regarding BP, as a Brit I'd love to do an episode [0] on Mavis Batey
sometime. Have you visited? One of the surprising facts is about the
extraordinary physical working conditions in the huts... it's
summer, the roofs are painted in dark green tar and camouflage, the
machines are kicking out tens of kilowatts...
I've not visited BP, I've been in the vicinity but otherwise engaged and don't live in the UK.
I did interview Bill Tutte in Canada in the 1980s when I was passing through though. I was getting a lot of referrals from my mentors when I was doing some work on the early Cayley, now Magma system in Australia.
