Off to Dunnes Stores.
Or buy a Peleton to cycle to the stores.
In my time 69/70 apprentices were no longer making tea and running to the bookies for their first year, I'm not sure when that ended, and serving 5 years to and with a tradesman who may have been a tasty worker or a complete bodger. Apprenticeships still had to be completed by the age of 21. Why?
Off the job training was part of the scheme and City and Guilds was the external standards body. You started at T1 and could work your way up the ladder to T5 which many equated to HNC/HND. So the determined tradesman had a clear route to becoming an engineer.
