OK, so he is 16 and only been with us 8 weeks.
His task was to put a 13A plug onto my blue extension lead. He was
given both the plug and the extension lead and told not to put the
plug top on until I has inspected his wiring.

Did he

1. Fit the plug to the extension lead correctly and leave the plug
top off for inspection

2. Fit the plug to the extension incorrectly and leave the plug
top off for inspect.

3. Have some sort of brain seizure and fit the plug top to a roll
of 1.5mm white 3 core flex that he found in the van AND fit the
plug top so that his wiring could not be inspected.

That is a significant misunderstanding. Without joking, do your
apprentices have a learning disability?


Doesn't say much about the training does it? I expect the poor lad
was nervous of the reaction to any mistake so didn't absorb the
instructions properly. Treat them like monkeys and monkeys are what
you get.


And your reasoning for that?

All I did was give a thick **** an extension reel, a 13A plug and a
simple task.
