Nice one. when you have taught him all you know send him to me and I will show him the dark arts of bead taping.
 
Looks a bit of a kak handed weed
I took on a lad and thought it was great first few weeks then it all ended badly seven weeks in
Fat t**t was lazy anyway and pulled sickies cos it was 30 degrees week
More the fool me cos Dad was a mate and I took his son on - we don’t talk to each other now lol

you sound like an arse of a gaffer to be honest.
 
Last apprentice I had his phone was glued to his f**k**g hand im sure he troweled a wall with it,sacked him in the end his wall turned out better
 
You haven't exactly started in the right fashion. He should be in full PPE and working off of podium steps (minimum) for that task.

Tell him to get a hair cut and some work wear, looks like you’ve picked him up from the local skate park

f**k that. I have nice expensive work clothes , nice work pants and polo's etc and then I have my plastering clothes
 
Get some proper work trousers and a polo it looks miles better,also enjoy it whilst it lasts as it pretty much always goes 2 ways,he becomes a lazy t**t and moans when he has to sweep up or after a year or 2 when he can push a bag up a wall his parents get into his ear saying he should be pulling £100 a day.this is one of many reasons why there's going to be a shortage.apparantly you can pick cabbage 4 £68k a year now

The college say they have a lot of students who struggle to get taken on mate , I’m not sure if I heard them right but sure they also offer employees like ourselves a one off payment of £1000 to take a year 2 out to work for the experience for 70 hours with out paying the student , think this is because they can’t get experience so government set up this scheme
With work that’s coming in atm I’m contemplating taking another if this one goes ok as it’s still early days I know

Why, it's almost as though they should properly bring back apprenticeships, isn't it?

I dread to think what state the building industry's going to be in in 20yrs time, when the millenial generation finally glance up from their iPhone screens for 10 seconds and realise there are no tradespeople left...

Even though Wall-E was just a kids' film, it made one or two worryingly-plausible observations about the way humanity may end up utterly incapable of looking after themselves if they don't wake up and see how they're being dumbed-down right now.

Nice one for giving a newcomer a bit of experience (y)

Good plan (y) I'm selling my motorhome soon to upgrade to a bigger new one cos be out in it even more next year :cool:
Delegating work will be tough when you're not around to watch em n protect your rep m8 :coffe:
 
He's wearing goggles? Agree with Andy though, needs better than a wobbly step ladder, no work rate if holding on to a ladder not a hawk.
