Now, i know this is an apprenticeship…but surely that is really just tantamount to slave labour?
Someone would be better off going to college to do the NVQ and getting a part time job stacking shelves or working McDonalds?
Think it’s called taking the p sorry mickey.
Well there is no wonder that kids are happier to do flower arranging or media studies at uni and then go straight on the dole.

On the big money aye right. I’m 23 and was on £55 p/w when I was 16 and the time served parts men in the garage were only £5 odds an hour. Saw a sign on the back of a First bus “drive this bus from aged 18 £7 p/h” and that’s exactly what I did…
