Indentures

[Geordie Spark]

Have the same for my father who was a Tool Maker. He mislaid/lost his C&G Cert's along the way, it took me nearly two years (a good few years back ) getting copies of his cert's from the C&G Institute. Purely because of bone idleness of the staff that couldn't be bothered searching the archives, even with supplying them with exact dates taken directly from his indenture papers. Kicked up such a stink with the management side, that they waived the charges along with a written apology....

Ah yes ... Toolmaking is highly skilled - like my trade.

Half a Thou is a big tolerance and five Thou is massive and we can work to those tolerances with hand tools. (or at least I ustercould )

Is he still on for a tenner?

Yeah if he comes to collect it. The building has a large car park and people smoking outside the door, not a supermarket ..................

My original trade.

Plumbing is just something I fell into after Thatcher threw my trade - and others - onto the scrapheap which the Chinese then bought at scrap prices.

Something a Electrical Trainee would not know anything about.

I'm not a Electrical Trainee and i didn't get any indentures. All i got was two years worth of pay slips showing below minimum wage.

I hope that wasn't a pop at me!

I haven't got any problem with indentures , at my age the dentures are always in ..

What are you going to be doing with a Microtome??

 

[shanky887614]

What are you going to be doing with a Microtome??

i got it in a lot with some razors, it is similar to a kamisori so i might shave with it.

i will probably sell it because i know what it was used for and i dont fancy cutting myself to shreds

 

[tidyboiler]

Thank God you didn't say you'd give me one!!

You rang M'lud?
