World Skills 2011:
Skills Talk, Trash Walks.

To see so many young people doing such positive
things with their educational qualifications and trade
skills at World Skills London (WSL) 2011, just the
week before last, was a sheer joy to see. Especially,
after all the London rioting and looting by thousands
of alienated, disaffected and violent black, mixed race,
white, and immigrant youths on the city streets during
the UK disconcerting summer of 2011. As I spent the
day at WSL, the more impressed and pleased I was
to see and meet such skillful and pleasant young
people who cared to achieve even greater skills
and higher education in their fields of chosen
endeavour. Kudos then to them!!
=.=
As the day went by at WSL, the more I realised it
was a perfect example of "Skills Talk, Trash Walks."
Skills of every sort were clearly shown to the 60,000+
people who attended the three-day international event
at ExCel, while no sign of trash could be found among
the young people representing their schools,
academies, and/or colleges with personal
pride and self-accomplishments.
=.=
From fine carpentry to helicopter training to dress
making to serious saddlery to high technology to
first class cooking to British engineering, they stood
without flinching or fear to share their open knowledge
and know how to the huge public that descended on
WSL in their masses of curiosity with their compli-
mentary show tickets that would have otherwise cost
them around $55.00 each to attend. I was one of the
folks with his free WSL ticket to get in. Lucky me!

Perhaps the biggest surprise for me was to meet for
the first time in my life some staff members of the
Queen's Royal Household, who were at WSL in
a recuitment drive for future staff members to
work at Buckingham Palace and at other British
royal residences like Prince Charles' Highgrove
or at Windsor Castle, Sandringham and
Balmoral. And the staff members I met couldn't
have been more friendly and down to earth than
they were. Among the royal staff members I met
were Antonella Frsolone, Adam Vallance, and
Chris Derwitt. Chatting with each one of them
about their royal household duties proved that
they loved their jobs with the royals. There's
about 1,000 royal staff members, I was told.
When Her Majesty moves from one regal abode
to another, most of the staff move with her
leaving behind only a skeleton of the regular
staff at say the palace until she returns at
some later date.

World Skills London 2011 was so huge it was
housed in acres of space that must have seen me
walk around 10 miles here and there inside the
great show itself. Had there been handy golf carts
or mobility shoppers, I am sure I would have
hopped on one just to get around the hundreds
of trade displays aside from stepping out of the
way of the growing footfall and stampede of
thousands of attending school and college kidz -
with all too many of them either black or Muslim
or foreign - darting here and there with glee and
excitement while the slow and more somber adults,
like me, took time to absorb the complete show.
=.=
Of all the people and things I saw at WSL, it was
the creative, innovative, and asethetic fashion show
that I liked and enjoyed the most. The super
models were worthy of Paris, Milan and/or New
York Fashion Shows. I saw their catwalks up-
front and I was so upclose I could almost touch
the hems of their designer dresses as they came
just within feet of me. They showed that skills
talk, trash walks. Trash doesn't walk on the
catwalks that's for sure nor at WSL 2011.
...
To round out this little story of mine, I have
simply chosen 7 images (shown below) of the
WSL Fashion Show that I hope you'll enjoy. It
showed yet again that skills talk, trash walks!
And that's how it really should be ... and that's
how it indeed was at World Skills London, 2011.

Gee Whiz a very nice side stand (shown below),
but at 1,000 quid it seemed alot too pricey for
the empty pockets of most folkz in these bad UK
economic times! But Senior Woodwork Tutor
Colin Eden-Eadon of the Worshipful Company
of Carpenters thought the 1,000 quid price
was quite in line ... and without wood worms!!
