She refused to let me do it because I wasn't qualified

Mam knows best Trev

Your time will come young trev,she said in a very commanding tone, using a North Eastern language that is both strange and puzzling

"but not here not just yet young lad", "Now go and boil that kettle ready for a proper tradesman ,thats a good lad"

The translation into English does not do the sentence justice,but you get the drift I hope

He's having you on anyway , I've never known a Geordie wi a chandelier.
 
It's where they got the sketch from for "Only fools and horses". Guess who trev was :)

Thanks
Ah, its all as clear as broken glass now

His mam wrote the script after he was a naughty boy and spread his wings

Trev,whatever was in that reply you made,thats what I wrote
it sort of got distorted and lost in my translation
 
Obviously ime new round here myself but this is the way I see it.

Most people really learn when they are chucked in the deep end, Much the same as driving you learn once you are in the driving seat on your own.
When I was a apprentice the first time I made off a SWA was a 1.5mm 3 core made off into a metal box and that was the only one I ever made off at college, Every other armored I have ever made off was at work so I became better at it.
I remember struggling my balls off the first few not cutting the armoring properly and attacking it with side cutters (Ahhh the joys of youth eh?)
But I learnt from my mistakes and now think nothing of it, Even chuckle watching my apprentice do the same things I did as my mentor laughed at me.

Engineers learn from doing and from making mistakes, The engineer who has never cocked up has never done anything so fair play to the OP for opening himself up.

He has learnt from his mistake and rectified it, What more could you want?
