      Witty quotes. Because remembering me would put a smile on people’s faces in the future.

      Undoubtedly for the Tara handpump – see my profile. Why ? Because between 150 and 200 million people are now getting a safe water supply and are able to keep their pump going who would never had had this opportunity without the Tara.

      Actually, I’ll probably be remembered for the dreadful poems I write which one day might be published in a book entitled, “The More He Writes, the Verse It Gets !”

      my dance moves for sure.
      I’d also like to be remembered for a truly spectacular engineering feat like the sewage equivalent of the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

      I’d love to see what the ‘sewage equivalent of the Clifton Suspension Bridge’ looks like!!

      There are some great engineers in history like Isambard Brunel who built so many things in England that are still standing today. He built a lot of great things on the River Thames too. I’d like to think I might one day do something like that – but it’s unlikely as today the great engineering projects are managed by huge teams and don’t just have one great engineer the way they did in the past.
