Honorary Fellowship

Well Hamish, I must say I wasn't expecting a response like that coming from you. A case of 'This is your life' or perhaps more appropriately 'This is your grevience'; queue music.Thanks for your support. This is off topic, but I want to put a proposal to your; something for investigation and new thread; an idea you once suggested in passing; TMIET(to MIET). I objected to it originally because I wanted to protect MIET for graduate level. Since then I have been thinking about it and remembered the SERT had an interesting grade structure. So with your experience and involvement in the IET, would the following grade structure be worth investigating: TMIET (to MIET); MIET (to AFIET). That gives us: MIET, AFIET, and FIET. I cannot see any one objecting to this, but you never know. Given the advances in E&T together with long standing experienced engineers and technicians; a change (or recognition) is long overdue. Andy, I appreciate your balanced point of view; that one side is never 100% right. We may be heading in the right direction, but it's not necessarily showing in the field. Not including the female staff working at the IET, we're not really seeing female members taking part in this or other threads. It would have been interesting to get their views on Will.i.am receiving an HonFIET. And on a lighter note. David, I got my information from the same source that Michael Gove and Boris Johnson got their information about saving £350m per week if the UK exited the EU. The art of politics: It could be half baked, but then again, it could be true! In this case, anything to stir up an otherwise mundane debate.
