i got chucked out of school at 15 in 1968- mum said get a job!
i went to a job centre with mum on the electric bus
i wanted to be a television engineer, no hope, a mechanic same same

so to cut to the chase, it was a meggitt marsh apprentiship
my mates went into roofing, and drove around in american cars
i rode a bicycle

No mate, that teaches you how to find things in the book

That sounds like my apprenticeship - a bicycle when it wasn't raining & a bus when it was.

Spot on malcolmsanford. I was 13/14 in 1973 though. I started in September 1975. For the first year we attended Saltram Crescent, part time day and evening. 2nd and third years were at Paddington Green. One of my lecturers there was also on the team that was righting the new 15th edition of the regulations. Did not know how much an impact that left on me then but looking back now I can see. I left in June 1979. I worked at Star Electrical who were based at George Street. They did a log of BHS stores all over the country.
For the C I moved to Willesden Technical College at Walm Lane.

There was an older apprentice named Kevin Jolly (who rode a motorbike) he attended Wandsworth at about the same time you were there. You may know him.

Not sure if it's the same Star but I had a really good friend at Wandsworth who worked for a Star. When he was there he told me that there was murders as 3 of the guys who were high up on Star had left and took the Securicor contract with them.

I won't name them as they may still be alive lol ................... but Star was quite a big outfit back then in the 70s Could it be the same mob!!!

Don't remember a Kevin Jolly to be honest but it was over 40 yrs back now ....................
