It sounds like a B movie flick from japan eh?

truth is, the son is inquiring about an apprenticeship

and after i've abused him for years as a helper , i would have thought it would be his last choice

the state here is soliciting younger recruits, in fact they're offering financial help as well.

the word is they're worried that so few are signing up now, and all they'll be left with is us crumedgeon sparkies

thing is, working for the 'ol man' , at least until things pick up, isn't what most youngsters would choose

any of you fella's go down this road?
