Quality Control to EU compliance?
Close! I spent a few decades working on International, European, and British product standards, chairing a few of the relevant Technical Committees. Occasionally got drawn in to discussions with my employer's customers about standards compliance and CE marking requirements. When I retired in 2014 due to some health issues that affected my ability to travel internationally, I was retained by a trade association to advise their members, but that contract ended in 2016 so now I'm a gentleman of leisure!

What about Tim our Order of the Thistle mugs. Representing Scotland & the Stewart name.

If you wan ta bit of history read on. If not -----

Two brothers from Normandy accompanied Will the Conqueror to thrust an arrow in Harold's eye & kill him. Accomplished.
Brothers two, sent to Scotland by Will, as stewards to sort Scottish law & order. The Stewards titles disintegrated into,
with Scottish dialect, Stewart.

And so my ancestry & now I live in seeing distance of where the Stewards came from.

Interesting Stewart & Stuart. The same ancestry via Robert the Bruce. Mary Queen of Scots, a Stewart, was sent to Paris to be educated
as Scots & English were not friends (no change then Nicola S.). French, as usual finicky, do not use W & Mary was using Stuart when
returning to thistle land.

Edinburgh toffs changed to Stuart . Glasgow types, down to earth whisky types, stayed Stewart.

Morning all .
Having woken up fully at 0330, I made a cup of tea and came back to bed. While perusing the forum I reread and caught up on this great page I thought I'd show my mug :smiling2:IMG_20210605_041205138.jpg
Hope you have one like this 570 ?

Well I guess mine can be posted again, I thought I had but not in this version.
It is a bit cramped at the moment due to having My computer deck and an extra Table in there.

LOL had to turn the lights on. ITS RAINING! Yeah!
The paining bench: You can just make out my compressor behind the chair.
20220819_123653.jpg
Build bench. With new mat!
20220819_123708.jpg
Nice long bench I can have a 2.5m long boat easy.
20220819_123718.jpg
One of two cabinets. the other, with the boats in is in the 'lounge'. (AKA the cats bedroom) Annoying class table anybody. £20 collection only!
20220819_123727.jpg
My little computer desk. It's actually an Oak Dinning table that would otherwise been chucked out! Put the large pull out under the top and job done.

The reason I have the extra clutter is we started to redo upstairs. Then the world went mental and a 4x2 costs about a million pound each! (exaggeration makes the point). So all is on hold.

Such a cosy and useful setup, Ian. I super love the ceiling track lighting intended for the model cabinet.
