No.



I'm talking about an apprentice who saw a chance to waste 15 minutes.



We know their tricks.



Now the apprentice I was with earlier in the week managed to go into
the

garage and buy us both a couple of drinks and he took the fuelcard in
with

him to pay for the fuel at the same time. He actually asked "Shall I
take

the card and pay for the fuel while I am in the shop?".



Can you now understand why some apprentices are a pleasure to work with

and others just get bollockings day after day until they quit/get
fired?

I was the "best" not my words - indentured apprentice on the company and

was I worked like a dog.

I was the only indentured apprentice. The other lads were trendy.

No pick up and drop off for me; it was the bus.

I can remember sitting on a pile of lagging in the back of a freezing
cold

damp van and listening to this number 1.

The days were 25 hours long too back then ;-)


I was dropped off about a mile from home.

In later life I have had young trainees.

If I had abandoned them I would

have been beaten up and then sacked.

I guess that depends on yuor employer.

We are very hard men in the north.
