When I retired I was still doing odd bits here and there as you do,anyway a mate's son wanted to be a spark but couldn't get on anywhere,he went to college and came doing bits and bobs with me,I had to tell him a couple of times about texting but then he sorted himself out.He'd fetch and carry,run to the shops,do all the heavy lifting and take on most of the work if I was having an off day.He was absolutely brilliant,he was more like a son than a trainee,Eventually he saw a placement advertised and I gave him a reference,it was only for the final year and he got it.He's fully qualified now and still talks about the time we had together.His instructor at college said he must have been learning off an old git because he'd been taught the proper way to do things,didn't know whether to take it as a compliment or an insult.lol

Dont class all apprentices as the same. I am a second year, yes I might go on my phone once in a while and go to sleep on dinner, this doesnt make me a bad apprentice! Lads like having me with them as they know I know what I am doing! Should us apprentices make a thread saying how rubbish our sparks are as they have been asleep on dinner or on thir phones whilst they should be at work? Go and talk to your apprentice and tell him the problems you have with him otherwise he will not know what he is doing wrong!
 
I did some sleeping today, finished in morning and was waiting on commissioning engineer to cross reference our list with bms to make sure I hadn't missed anything.

After the snooze it was time to go home
