I loved visiting Eindhoven. It was where I went to get away from my job working in Helmond at a clothes hanger factory. I was representing a Scottish company that had made a machine vision guided pick and place machine.

I was the control engineer that wrote the software for the machine. And because of some problems with the machine, I spent nearly six months there.

Whilst there I came to really like the Dutch. They are really friendly, unpretentious people.
