In case anyone misunderstands the situation, I am 69 years old and have virtually no qualifications. I have no available money and no property or expectations of any capital from any source.

I live in a council flat and have a state pension. This is topped up to make it possible for me to exist and this top up is stopped if I receive any money.

I alone have the ability to organise some unique technology which has made it possible for me to stop corrosion to buried steel pipelines in many countries.

This technology has not been accepted by the scientific community until now, and as a result many pipelines have failed with disastrous consequences effecting finance at a national level. The scientific advisors are still employed by the government or are on pensions an order of magnitude greater than mine.

I now have a group of associates who recognise that my technology is correct and some are puting part of it in practice by surveying pipelines world wide. They are also required by their clients to conduct technology advised by the scientific establishment and all field workers (that I have spoken to) say that the old technology is a 'load of rubbish' and doesn't work.

I have had requests for my technology from all over the world but cannot deliver as the total product is a combination of activities that requires organisation and human resources.

I have identified the key people who would like to start up the provision of this service to industry and made many artifacts that have an integral value within the assets of the venture. I am currently compiling the receipts for the material component and will then calculate the time taken.

I am planning for two possibilities.

If sufficient finance is arranged, I will work for about a year to transfer my intellectual property to the organisation and expect to be paid for the time taken. I expect to be paid at the same level as those to whom I am imparting my knowledge.

During this period I expect to be working and travelling as required and living at a standard commencurate with my position.

At the end of this year I expect the organisation to have several hardware products leased into the market and software in place to deliver the total product to the top level of engineers, managers, investors and insurers. I would hope that our product would by then be a requirement in most countries for the issuing of pipeline operators licences.

We should have at least 20 teams world-wide supported 24/7 in the UK by a multi-lingual head office complete with a demonstration room and conference facilities. We will be manufacturing devices and equipment and continuing to develop on the software.

If I do not get paid anything but my state pension by the end of next month, then I will cease to believe that the UK is capable of delivering this service.

I will put all of my technology onto the internet and publish the whole story through any mass medium that I can attract. I will publish all names of everyone involved at every stage and post copies of all documentation and photographs.

I will offer my services to anyone who pays me and as a short term measure to get money, I will collect trolleys at a supermarket.

I cannot and will not pay anything to anyone from now on.
