We used to send one apprentice to a workshop down the road each day with two housebricks done up in paper,they would rewrap it and send it back, went on for ages till he dropped the parcel. |

Well, if that's really the best use you can make of him, why bother to take him on? I heard tell of one apprentice who used to go along and volunteer to help the storekeeper. After a couple of days storekeeper enquired why, as this seemed to be too good to be true... turned out that apprentice had rumbled the tricks, but wanted to learn. Andy |

I like the one that asked me "why do you not sent me to the van for things like skyhooks" My reply was "I sent you to the van for a Makita drill and you could not find it so why send you for something that is not there" -- Adam |
