And seemingly Trump is now backing off a debate with Harris - one reason apparently being that she is still not "the official nominee".
Well, nor was he when he debated Biden last month.

The engineer, who seems to have fixed it, called it “the pole thingy outside” but I suspect that’s not the technical term 😂!

No idea, but he scooted up the [insert name] pole, then fiddled in the [insert name] box on the pavement and (so far at least) fixed it! Not only do I have WiFi but I no longer, after about 22 hours, have a robotic voice telling me “warning, the telephone line is disconnected” every 15 seconds on my emergency health alarm box. He can call himself whatever he wants after that.

Or perhaps she can call herself whatever she wants.

Trump agreed to two presidential debates on the terms of his opponents. It is not his fault that they couldn't stick to the deal that they proposed.

I think you mean that he is not a professional engineer or a chartered engineer. Engineer means a number of different things. In the US, it was an engine driver. It can, in colloquial usage, mean a gas engineer, a telephone engineer. An engineering worker can mean anyone who is employed in an engineering workshop. The problem is that the professional/chartered engineering bodies have attempted to appropriate the term. I find this strange as most of the said bodies recognise technician engineers. I worked as a chartered surveyor and the RICS have a similar attitude,

I find this strange as most of the said bodies recognise technician engineers. I worked as a chartered surveyor and the RICS have a similar attitude, I mean it as in an engineer designs and builds solutions. A technician uses enginering solutions created by engineers. A fitter.... fits.... stuff. The chap who walks around you house measuring the walls and floors and specifies sizes of radiators and boiler is an engineer. The chap who drills holes in the walls, mounts radiators, and solders up pipes is a fitter. The chap who comes around once a year to service the boiler is a technician. Almost every job I've had in the last 15 years has had "engineer" on the badge. Exactly zero of them have actually been an engineer.
