Mornington Crescent, anyone?

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

I did the period - and applicable to my country - equivalent of my HEFC in engineering-related subjects, but I didn't progress to membership of any of engineering's professional bodies and it was something else for which I was best known. 8-)
