Was chipboard not conceived along with the Euro 32 system for easy automation in the making of kitchens on a mass production scale. The question is would @doctor Bob have created those really wonderful kitchens had he not endured that chair factory?
Interesting question We all started somewhere.Was chipboard not conceived along with the Euro 32 system for easy automation in the making of kitchens on a mass production scale. The question is would @doctor Bob have created those really wonderful kitchens had he not endured that chair factory?
It seems to be a lot older than that (at least 1887), but there is a claim that it was invented even earlier than that (1817!). I thought it had been the Germans who came up with the idea, during WWII. They were certainly the first people to manufacture it in quantity, initially from timber waste produced from other woodworking processes. They certainly started to use chipboard in a big way during WWII for construction (floors, walls, etc) as well as furniture (paper faced boards) because of pressure on resourcesWas chipboard not conceived along with the Euro 32 system for easy automation in the making of kitchens on a mass production scale.
So if chipboard is that old it seems that the idea for weetabix must have stemed from that and not the other way round.It seems to be a lot older than that (at least 1887), but there is a claim that it was invented even earlier than that (1817!).
The them and us syndrome, I believe it helped bring down british industry as it created companies that did not work as one.there were workers (like me) brown coats (in charge of their line) and whit coats (in charge of their dept) all seemed to get off on power and superiority,
Absolutely, the lack of trust was amazing. If I assembled a 4 door sideboard, 8 hinges and 8 ball catches were brought to me, along with screws plus a few extra. Next sideboard same again. They wouldn't trust you with say 40 hinges at a time, as they reckon some went missing. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't but it was infuriating and demeaning.The them and us syndrome, I believe it helped bring down british industry as it created companies that did not work as one.
So you have to dress them and pay them, they really do have it to easy. The thing I have noticed over the years is that when the employer provides tools they are not treated the same as when the employee has to buy their own, sometimes only the initial tools were given and replacements were down to you but even then they would complain so is it an English thing?that their free work clobber is a day late!!!!!
