Jokes on your apprentice

[AmberK]

i once remember betting one of the lads a fiver that i could fit into some flexible fan ducting,having got into the ducting and looking like a giant blue catapiller i was promptly gaffa taped up and push over. Much to the amusement of the other trades lol.

Back in the old days when i was still doing my apprenticeship.I was working at London Bridge when apprentices were initiated big style.The sparks and older apprentices grabbed hold of a new apprentice,stripped him and put him into a pair of overalls.Stuck a broomstick through the arms of the overalls and crucified him at the top of the scaffolding overlooking the River Thames.Those were the days when health and safety wasn't as strict

Can you still get skirting ladders and sky hooks at the wholesalers

aye mate, next to the tartan paint. Another favourite was being sent to the store for a "long stand". you would be left for 10 mins then the storeman would ask you "was that long enough?"

Not really a trick on an apprentice,but al the same funny for me!
A mate and I were working for a data company weekends in a bank.There was also two sparkies from another company working along side us.These two lads thought it very funny every time our back was turned to hide our drills,hand tools and snag our cables.
After along day of this we decided to leave a bit early,anyway we went down to the underground car park where our vans were parked,and joy of joys they had left their van unlocked.
We switched their heater onto full and filled all the heater vents with chalk dust from our chalk lines,then turned the stereo up full and left.
Twenty minutes later I had a phone call from them which I cant put here,I laughted so much I had to pull off the road!!!!
Needless to say I double check my van is locked when I see those two lads!
