I was that apprentice.
Here's what I remember.
1. Don't knock 2 hammer heads together. I dunno either!
2. Don't do what I do, do what I tell you to do. There's the wrong way and there's my way.
3. Don't saw up firewood with the Master's best panel saw, unless you like Hospital food.
4. All the crap jobs are yours.
5. Oi! Yeti! Get yer 'air cut!
6. I know everything, you know nowt!
7. Oi! Mattress-face, how's yer spots lookin'?
8. You idiot, that's coming out of your wages! ( Yeah, right, on £3.50 a week!!)
9. If I tell you, you'll know as much as I do! aka; Can you keep a secret? So can I!!
10. If you ain't got nothing better to do, go and make the bloody tea.
And for the first year that's all you did. Watch. Listen. Make the bloody tea.
Alan
