ARW November 5th 14 07:53 PM

You are 2nd year apprentice - what would you do?
 
Your task is to cut out a doormat that is partially covered by a new wall in
the entrance to a shopping centre. You decide to use the angle grinder, the
110V transformer and the 230V extension lead. However after plugging the
extension lead into one of the sockets in a shop when you come to use the
angle grinder you have a power problem. Using the knowledge you have picked
up in the last 15 months you quickly and correctly identify the 230V
extension lead is at fault.

So do you?

a) Plug the 110V transformer into to the socket in the shop and then use the
110V extension lead to power the angle grinder

b) Examine the plug connections and the fuse on the 230V extension lead and
then using the knowledge and skills you you have picked up over the last 15
months fix the faulty extension lead

c) Plug the transformer into the socket that is right next to the doormat
and complete the job without using any extension leads.

d) Walk aimlessly around the shopping centre for 30 minutes searching for me
whilst carrying the faulty extension lead with you. And don't even think
about winding up the lead before walking around the shops looking for me -
you need to drag 10m of trailing flex behind you.

Not a difficult choice if you eliminate the options that actually
involve doing work.

I think my preferred option would be c - but then I like to avoid extension leads wherever possible, so I might have omitted the initial part of that sequence and gone straight for it.
I'm assuming that the actual option chosen was d)...

None of the above.
e) Wire a BS 1363 plug to the 110 side of the transformer and see how
much faster the AG runs on 440v

e) as above, and when asked why, answer "because pushing 10m of flex didn't
work".

And to cut a doormat you use an angle grinder???

Well even a first year should be able to see that if there is a socket right
next to the job, you can finish it, and take the bits back to base and fix
it in the comfort of the workshop.

First I'd have a go at the **** that gave me a faulty extention lead and ask WTF is this ?
I would not repair the lead as in *my* job opening up the plug invalids the @Passed@ sticker and the device would need to be checked by the 'cough' compendent testers we get on site about once a year.
So that extention block could NOT be used until checked and stickered by 'pros'.

I'm not sure I'd use an angle grinder to cut a door mat, I'd choose a stanley type knife first. I've also heard napalm and TNT can be used on door mats :-)
Also for removing students from the lab after hours.

to be a steel or aluminium grid, possibly with rubber or carpet inserts.

4 years.

Year two of four, and you're actually letting him loose with extension
leads? **** me, is he on the fast-track?

This also reminds me of some students.

I'm sure it was him at our local bus stop the other day. Actually there
was a flock of them in school uniform. Fortunately some of the girls
were pretty, so they might stand a chance in life

Life eventually imitates art... I was in a local shop recently and the
work experience made tea without boiling the water. 18+ and completely
oblivious to the need.

There are lots of way to make tea.
Its only black tea that needs boiling water and even then some people
like it stewed by boiling it on the stove for several minutes.
You should never use boiling water with Chinese green tea.

Sigh.

OK, so I should have said 'I was in a local shop recently and the work
experience made tea without boiling the water for a tea that needed
boiling water...'.

Your task is to cut out a doormat that is partially covered by a new

First of all someone has built a wall across a doormat, and left the
doormat in place???

And to cut a doormat you use an angle grinder???


Of course you use an angle grinder to cut a doormat. WD40 [1] just
won't do it.

[1] which is the only other solution recommended on uk.d-i-y

You've overlooked pressure washer.
