Happyrentice
Just been thinking about the hotpot post and Bert99T menioned about the job he did when he first started as an Happyrentice butcher. What jobs did you get when you started work, and how were you teased as well, we've all been there and it wasn't fun at the time, but it is now when you look back. My nemesis was plugging the walls for skirting boards, and of course making the brews and going for the dinners. Anyone remember being sent for a long stand to the local hardwear store (Bridges on Church Street in my case):D then being sent back by the counter staff after about twenty minutes, you didn't half feel a "D" head:D

Re: Happyrentice
As a young deckhand in the M.N. every Friday was firedrill day. The hose reels were out and used, all the breathing equipment and a little scenario was always made up where we had to rescue someone.
There was a particularly old set of breathing equipment, full suit thing with a great long hose attached to it and a set of bellows. Guess who got the job of wearing it every Friday…Oh how they used to laugh when they stopped pumping the bellows…gits :D |

While I was waiting for my posting in the Civil Service I spent 3 months working at Boots, on Church St. in Blackburn, on the Farms and Gardens department (I don't think Boots do that any more). We sold all kinds of weird and wonderful things for farmers and I remember, in my first week, a farmer's wife coming in and asking me for "lamb's rings".
I hadn't a clue what they were and my boss, a lovely lady called Edna, was at lunch. The lady explained they were rubber bands used to castrate baby rams and proceeded to instruct me exactly how they were used and how they worked. My biological knowledge was well developed in that job. :D |
