Well the new apprentice does charity work. And not any old voluntary
charity
work - he has paid to take a course to be allowed to do this work.

Does anyone else find this impressive?


Most impressive.

You sound as though you may actually like this one?

An apprentice who joined in my year turned out to be a member of the
Plymouth Brethren. He wasn't allowed to do anything *worldly*.

and what do you mean by that? Does it stop the person doing the job?

Someone didn't ask enough questions.

It's a question that if you did ask (and act upon the answer) could see you
on the wrong end of a discrimination suit

Place where we go sometimes has a young lady there who's miss industry
herself, an excellent worker and just gets on with the job no problems
at all. Her guv'nor speaks very highly of her and can't praise her
enough.

But don't expect her to join in with any outside work activities she
just won't do that at all .. Shes in the witnesses ..

As a child I had a Witness family living opposite (well she and the kids
were, he wasn't but had agreed to bring the kids up as Witnesses).

The kids were normal in most ways, but they couldn't attend birthday
parties.

Unfortunately for them, the eldest girl got pregnant when she was
unmarried and the younger girl got involved with a much older married
man. The boy behaved more conventionally and got married and had kids.
