Third year apprentice (one of the best we have had) was having

He was having difficulty tightening up the hex screws.

One answer in the office was "You have a **** set of Allen
keys"

In his defence he replied "They are brand new I only got them
on
Saturday and I paid for the most expensive of the two pairs
available
as I don't want **** tools"

Anyone care to guess what went wrong:-)?

Imperial vs metric?

Indeed.

But at least he came in and said he had a problem. And the problem
is
now sorted.

Obviously never heard of the word imperial before and was amazed
at the
markings on the tool that he had never noticed.

Oh dear, how will he cope when £sd and feet inches and roods come
back ?

Why should they come back? If a reference to Brexit; decimalisation
was before entry into the EEC and even countries like the USA are
steadily moving towards metrification and SI units.

Not really with the units the general public uses. And they don¢t
have
much in the way of the weirder ones like roods, perches, bushels,
furlongs etc. Really just grains with ammunition and bullets etc.

Furlongs? I thought everyone knew you get 10 cricket pitches in a
furlong.

They don¢t have cricket pitches, stupid.

You probably don't, however this is a UK group and we do.

Pity that post is discussing what the USA does units wise.

Are you ****ed?

No point in asking you if you are ****ed
and drug crazed. the answer is obvious.

The discussion was about a UK apprentice using Allen/hex keys bought in
the UK used on metric equipment and then some kind of reversion to £sd and
feet inches and roods.

If you werent actually ****ed and drug crazed, even a
terminal ****wit such as yourself should have noticed
that the particular post I chose to comment on had moved
on from that to discussing what happens in the USA.

What a plonker.

Your sig is sposed to have a line with just -- on it in front of it,
****wit.

reams of your even sillier ****wit **** flushed where it belongs

Feeling better again, you abnormal cantankerous senile Ozzie troll? Admit
it, trolling is the ONLY thing for you that makes you feel ANYTHING AT ALL!
