Crisis?
What crisis? Yesterday's DT had the advertisement illustrated left for a wannabee eurocrat job which pays well on entry and which offers a final salary pension of up to 70%. Is it not time that somebody told these chaps that there is a crisis? A tricky little problem with public finances over most of the western world? Not to mention unsustainable growth in the number of old people on fat pensions.On the same page there is a reference to an advertisement for the job of director of the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research. Which I had never heard off but which appears to be a sub-department of GCHQ. What on earth does such an institute do? How is it staffed? Did I miss my vocation?
PS: I should have known: Mr G. knows all about the Heilbronn Institute.
