Havent been asked anything like that - im not stupid i know none of them exist.

Glad it went Ok Chris.

 

I loved my apprenticeship. I worked with a right bunch of bastards. I did some horrible things in retalliation that I couldn't possibly admit on a public forum.

 

I imagine you will be sent for a bucket of steam or a glass hammer at some point.

Yeah its been good thanks H :)

 

Made probs about £60 in 3 days - which isnt alot of money but its £60 i didnt have before lol.

 

Had a car in today that obviously had been for a swim lol. Electric and water dont mix and the starter motor was flooded and the power cable going from the battery was messed up so the bugger wouldnt start lol.

Aahhhh. I remember those. The new boy had started, the boss made him cry because he asked for a bucket of steam and when poor old Kev returned with a bucket of boiling water, he shouted at him because he wanted steam and not boiling hot water! Thems were the days. Before you could be arrested for hurting someones feelings with mild workshop banter...

Sure you should have admitted the nickname? Everyone will be yelling it Friday night, waiting for you to turn round looking for work people!

 

On a serious note, you gotta start somewhere, and if you're learning something whilst earning too that can't be bad :)

 

Im learning slowly - its not very busy at the moment so not much to do. Just little bits here and there.

 

As for the pay - Im getting paid £2.60 an hour which is about £20 a day. Quite shocking but as you say ive got to start somewhere.
