Sorry for the OT but you woke up loads of memories.
I did both my Beng and MSc in UMIST. Does UMIST still exist as an independent university? I thought it was merged with the University of Manchester. I Remember when I finished my MSc in 2004 we were asked what we wanted typed on our degree, UMIST or University of Manchester. Of course I chose UMIST.
I am grateful and proud that I was educated there.
