Anyone remember them?
I started in quarrying but for some strange reason I came under the glass and ceramics EITB?
As an apprentice I hated filling in my training log books, it was an imposition piled atop all the theory at college!
Theory is one thing, proving you can do the job is another. I used to dread being called to the conference room for my grilling by the EITB assessor, Mr. Crew. He made me squirm with his questions, your foreman would be there as “condemned mans friend”.
Mr. Crew asked me about “mechanically latched starters” at my final assessment. I hadn’t a bloody clue, I’d gone brain dead. I passed but Ted the foreman gave me a clip around the ear as we left the room, there was an entry in the log book about Ellison OCB’s!
I’ve still got my log books, anyone else kept them?
