I may be technical, but that doesn't mean I only do technology

I’ve had a couple of situations recently where someone has said to me something along the lines of – "you wouldn’t understand because it’s not a technical question".

It’s an interesting cultural thing that we do in the UK, we pigeon-hole people into technical and business as if one wouldn’t understand the other.

Don’t people know the history of the UK?

Our history is littered with people who made fortunes out of doing technical things and in the process created millions of jobs and shaped the towns and cities where we live.

I, for one, regard the label of technical as a badge of honour, but don’t try and pigeon-hole me there, you might get a surprise.
