[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 400939, member: 1408"] ................ever work on a large site & cop teaboy duties ? Firm I was apprentice with were doing a huge site at B,ham University , Halls of Residence , a 24 storey tower block & a long 3 storey block , all done in MI with Home Office permission to wire it in a TNC system . So single core pyro & earth tail pots , neutral looped from earth term to neut term to the box. Neutral bars fixed direct to the metal boards . Wierd. Anyway , loads of sparks on the job and about 6 apprentices ........ each taking a turn for a week on tea duties . Tea was made in 2 huge enamel jugs , sugar / milk included. Two shopping trips out per day for bacon sarnis , newspapers, giggies etc . Washing up , keep the mess shed clean . On the high block you could ride up the outside of the scaffold in the cage , worked from the ground by Paddy . If you were a plasterer or floorlayer on pricework, they bunged Paddy to give preference with the cage , so us mugs were up & down the stairs all day rather than wait forever . Never figured out how ...but made a fortune during teaboy week. :C Found a photo on Gloogle . [ATTACH]6160._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
