Incidentally the article referenced two actions poking someone in a
college as a punishment for mobile phone use, and thumping in the
testicles as a punishment for failing to plug in a drill.

I would have considered both actions assault and reacted accordingly.

I suspect, if this is true, and you actually did something similar in
your long and mysterious career, the people that had to work with you
thought you were an insufferable prig. And a bit of ****, to boot.

No not really.

Started off as an apprentice, progressed through college to become an
engineer, did many, many college couses over the years and finished at
university [apart from the gross of repetitive H&S courses that have
to be taken now].

I was never ever poked prodded or physically molested at work or
college.

I work on civil construction sites quite often and remember only two
in the last ten years where those I dealt with were too thick to
express themselves in plain English.

Both sites had very serious shortcomings incidentally.

In fact I will always remember one in particular, because an
"Electrical Engineer" borrowed my DMM to check a relay and came up
with the little gem "do I use both leads to check this?"

Any assaults even on those sites would have resulted in instant
removal incidentally.

I fail to comprehend why you find it neccesary to resort to personal
attacks BTW.

Does your inability to put your point across frustrate you so much?
