Have you seen the majority of school leavers these days, all they want to do is send texts all day, drink beer in the park and learning a trade is way too much hard work for most of them although I won't tar them all with the same brush.
As for the teach a 30 something crap you're talking out of your ass mate, if they've never done it before how can they say I always do it this way, sounds more like you feel uncomfortable trying to train a grown man but bossing kids around is much easier, thats how you come across!!
Anyway you've obviously had bad experiences with some boil in the bag sparks, fair enough, but don't tag me with em, and the work I put right as been mostly industrial site work and domestic, if what you're saying is right these guys shouldn't be making mistakes!

Couldnt agree more Maggs, all comes down to attitude. Id much rather spend time at work with someone who wants to get on than a chavvy teenager with the latest mobile.

Hold a JIB Approved card.
And full NICEIC membership.
And turn out decent work.

Never served a recognised apprentice though as no one would pay for someone that was 30 so all self funded aswell.

Would love someone to say im not a propper sparks becouse i have not done an apprentiship or done it since i left school.

The words bitter and twisted are coming to mind.:lol:
