What’s the point in this thread?......stop judging others and get on with ya life!
I have bo intention of judging others Baddegg, the point of my thread was / is to understand how and why the influx of Short ( if you like boil in the bag courses) has reached the proportions they have. I for one understand that Apprenticeships as I knew them are mostly history.
Like I said, in my opening post, there are many very good Electricians who have taken this short route, you can't really judge anyone or any thing without speaking with them or seeing how they work, the point of my thread, as I said is to understand how and why it has happened.
Judgement was and is never on my agenda. Personally, probably due to age I don't like this fast route, it goes against all I know, it's not going to change, yes if you like I have a bee in my bonnet about it, so I personally will live with that, does that make me judgemental? no I don't think it does.
If you see it differently, then that's your prerogative, my interests are purely how and why, if people who answer my question, openly and honestly, are perceived by you as judgmental then that's between you and them, please don't derail what is an interesting debate.
