Fine words from someone who uses "apprentice abuse" to hide his own inadequacies.

Oh I don't know, getting people to work for nothing does wonders for the wages bill.

Even better if you call it a work experience placement and get the government to pay you for offering it.

Its ok, we would not ask since I expect we can count the number of successful enterprises you have run on the fingers of one foot.
Yup that's a real snappy comeback... only seven years too late.

Better yet if you call it "recycling" and get the people paying you to do your job (sorting rubbish) for you.

It called teaching them properly. Non of this namby pamby bollocks that seems to happen so often today. It's a tough world out there and someone has to help them. That someone is me.
I shall be insulting an apprentice at 8am in the morning for messing up some work. That will be the same apprentice that I will work with all day without any grudges and I will no doubt end up buying his breakfast.

Which act will teach the apprentice that there are people who are tough but fair. IOW you are allowed to make mistakes but the no-no is not learning from them.

Dave, trolls just want to elicit a response, any response. By responding to him, you're feeding his ego. Just ignore him.

Did you ever see him on tour? He was one of the sharpest comedians I have ever seen.

Yup the live act was supposed to be much edgier than they would allow on TV. Shame I never saw it...

He did rather well today. We went to Tescos and he used the self service checkout. Someone had left a wallet on it. He handed it it without any hesitation. How many 19 year olds would do that. In fact how many people of any age would do that?
I was rather proud of him. And he was not being watched, he could easily have taken it.

He's one of the brighter ones then, those things annoy me though they have got better.
A wallet, handbag etc I would, a stray fiver or tenner probably not.
Have you not looked at the ceiling in the checkout or self checkout areas of any supermarket? Veritable forest of CCTV cameras...

Nope, never did. Fair enough, thanks for the info. I agree that you can get a very different sense of comedians (and performers in general) live compared to on the idiot box.
Cheers J^n

Not the b*stard who followed me at the self service till when I left my fiver change in it, that's for sure.
