After (almost) 20 years Mr Surgey is finally hanging up his workshop apron & handing over his beloved Engineering resources! Iβm sure we will all miss watching him strut his stuff in his ever growing trainer collection!
HAPPY RETIREMENT MR S! Miss you already! β€οΈ @qahsinfo

8. Owen Maclaren created the first foldable baby stroller (AKA lightweight baby buggy or pram) by borrowing the design of an airplane's landing gear.
As a former aeronautical engineer, he understood the mechanics of lightweight, collapsible structures.
5. Baby incubator
In late 1800s, French doctor Etienne Tarnier was looking for a solution to save babies born prematurely.
On a visit to the Paris zoo, he saw poultry incubators and borrowed that innovation to make a baby incubator.
4. The autotune popular with musicians is based on mathematics used by the fracking industry.
Geologist call the process reflection seismology, which uses seismic waves to see if there's oil underground.
Went down a rabbit hole for cross-industry innovations (when one industry borrows from another).
Here are 8 gems.
1. James Dyson made a bagless vacuum after seeing how sawmills used cyclone force to eject sawdust.
Nicola Sturgeon looked around at the mess of her own making: gender reform, NHS crisis, strikes, council funding, A9 delays, education disaster, ferries, and more...
And she threw in the towel.
As a result of the clear decision to reject this offer, taken by our Salaries Committee today, our Executive Committee has also unanimously agreed that the current programme of strike action will continue as scheduled. #PayAttention
