Engineers or Technicians?

"The trouble with the British is that they call the chap who fixes the fridge an engineer. He's not. He's a technician. An engineer is someone who will invent the next light bulb."
- Sir Richard Sykes (former boss of GSK)

He is furious of the lowly status given to engineers and even worse Britain's reluctance to educate more and better scientists.

Whatever I should be in bed!
