Back in the seventies or so ISTR several series where Aliens were
living among us and running things. In one they had little fingers that stuck out, in another they had lizard tongues and in another their knees worked backwards. Does anyone else find it coincidental that no such series have been repeated since the BBC (and others) got rid of all their engineers and relaced them with Deputy Chief Assistant Programme Controllers and the like? |

Are you casting doubt on the human qualities of Engineers or deputy
programme controllers. Your conspiracy works either way. I do believe that the device used to modify the brains of people joining the Police force is in use at the pr level of most communications enterprises though.

They moved into polite society way back hence the little finger stuck out when drinking tea and having those little fancy cakes. The engineers all now live in converted tanker units in railway sidings now. |

As a result, the finger tends to stick out more than it should. Should I be concerned? -- Worried (Tunbridge Wells) |

The engineers all now live in converted tanker units in railway sidings now. Noone in polite society sticks out their little finger when drinking tea. It's difficult to know where that myth originated. That's easy if you've used bone china cups instead of cracked mugs. The handle centres are maybe small enough to get two fingers through at best and the lower fingers either hang against the hot cup or instinctively the user gets the offending finger out of the way. |

Now what was the hero's name, not Steve Austin? |
