Before you do, I'll just mention that some of us work for typically underfunded universities and see very little evidence of "all that money being injected" into them.

Now, rack or Stop - which is best?

Proves the point about gravy trains and the small percentage of money that gets where intended.

Crikey, that is a leap of logic and a half. Even Bob Beamon would be envious! 🙂

I have, using yogurt treated with selected high quality mine effluent, woven a rackstop with a built-in beard protector (to avoid embarrassing Santa Moments) and bat-frier. Can I have an EC grant please?

So far :offtopic: it's embarrassing... :surrender:

Don't look so embarrassed, it's a family trait...

No chance.
Nowhere at all in your business plan is there a single instance of the statutory buzz word "sustainable". The inclusion of a so called 'bat frier' implies a non eco efficient waste of energy, and whatever lamp you use ensure that the mains cables are black and brown rather than red and black that anyone would understand.
I know that this is probably killing a few people but its the price of progress.

And this 'rackstop' thing, it is designed in millimeters not inches?

Nothing at all about your mine effluent or yogurt meeting EC directives.
No chance
