[QUOTE="Wood field, post: 7927899, member: 163366"] I am going back to 1980, I was an apprentice mechanical fitter , there was vickers, glaxo, bowater Scott, plus a myriad of supporting small firms Lads from our village either went in to farming or industry, not many would want to work in the super market, in fact I remember my folks shopping in Ulverston, no big supermarkets until Asda opened in Barrow, but that’s another story , plus the fact youngsters would sooner be at uni than get dirty hands As an aside .. I went on to do my hnd and was chief engineer in a dairy in Manchester, I approached a director one day re some funding for some training, he actually put his hand up and said “ your here to mend things , how dare you talk to me about funding” I quit soon after and went self employed taking great pleasure to bill them a day a week to bale them out of the sh*t [/QUOTE]
