   For boys it used to be wanting to be an engine driver, but I think that faded away as the steam engine itself faded from the scene.

   Here in UK the old apparatus at the telephone exchanges which did all the automatic dialling and connecting for many years is now costing too much to maintain and repair. So we are are being switched to a system which does away with all that, and your call goes out via your broadband connection. We are on it already, it worked OK, but it is a retrograde step in that of the BB fails or there is a power cut the telephone quits too. We have a mobile phone, but if there is a power cut will the mobile systems fail as well ?
