This is a question Inflated Self-Importance

Amorous Badger asks: Tell us tales of people who have a high opinion of themselves. Jumped-up officials, the mad old bloke who runs the Neighbourhood Watch like it's a military operation, Colonel Blimps, pompous bastards and people stuck up their own arse.

Almost.
Helston c. 1994.

They're less concerned about their pens in Cornwall, I am pleased to report.

I like Cornwall.
If they can just drag themselves out of the 19th Century it would almost be a nice place.

Nice place to bring up a kid
Shite in the extreme if you want a job in my field. Unless your field is to work in a field.

I love Cornwall and have a good job
However Helston is an utterly shit place to live with no redeeming features

All of the work in electronics was out of town, I didn't have a car
and the buses couldn't get you to Redruth or Falmouth or Truro or Penzance before 10AM so no joy there. There was electronic stuff going on in Penryn but until one of them relocated to Trevarno all I could get was ride operator at Flambards. Then later on, Allen&Heath in Penryn when I could lift share with a guy who lived up the road.

Still, they were chronically low on the wage scale so in the end I had to leave the county to be able to afford a divorce- and thus began my trek around the country seeking contract work.

Allen & Heath
Make superb mixers.

I used to build the Xone 6:2
then eventually got to the height of final test for the GL4000. They wondered why I was quite insistent that I deserved more money for testing and repairing up to 3 48 channel mixing desks a day, compared to the flat rate paid to someone else who just had to put the coloured knobs and switch caps on in the correct places.

every club I go to uses A&H mixers.
Pioneer still seems to be the mixer of choice for bedroom setups though.

Funny that, when they cost about the same.

Thing about the 6:2 and its bretheren, they did listen to the users.
Stainless steel faceplate resists acid sweat corrosion, user serviceable crossfader, low cut filter built in etc. quite a leap forward for a company whose reputation was built on the ears of one man (who was not a DJ kind of sound engineer by any stretch of the imagination).

lovely mixers.

I would happily move to Polperro, if only a large consumer branded company relocated to Falmouth so I could earn a decent salary...
