Abstract
In the UK we have our own very special brand of nuclear physics. Clustering around the one remaining major facility, the SERC Nuclear Structure Facility (known locally as the tower), researchers are locked into what amounts to low-temperature nuclear spectroscopy of one sort or another. To take the tower analogy further, we are all prisoners of decisions made long ago and the cost of escape to higher energies is more than current funds will apparently allow. The truly dedicated are quick to point out that real advances in nuclear physics (even other branches of physics for that matter) have all been brought about by careful spectroscopic studies. No doubt they wait in hope that history will repeat itself. I wish them luck.
