Which reminds me of a family _expression_.
My father was part of the 1950s Brain
Drain, and left RRE in England to go to UBC in Vancouver in 1956. Another
British physicist, Geoff Bates, joined the Physics Department at the same
time.
The head of the Physics Department was
very proud of the fact that the faculty gathered for "tea" each
afternoon, and were very anxious to have the two British additions
join them.
After tasting the "tea" Geoff
said: "Hmm, it is quite good, but it will never replace tea."
The _expression_ "It is quite good
but it will never replace X" is now firmly established in the Gunn
family lexicon.
