Discuss How Old Was You When You Became Interested In Electrics? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Am I the only one being truthful here????About 1961 when I was 16, when I found out I wouldn't make it as a Carpenter/Joiner and the only Apprenticeship I could get was an Electrical one, good choice as it turned out, been all over the world working in the Electrical Maintenance and installation field, Domestic, Commercial and Industrial as well as Security.
I said 16 not 6 or 7 MateI suppose i would have been about the same age,6 or7,dropped off at a neighbours,on a Summers day,for supervision.....
Decided to remove the pond pump,and strip it completely. Got an almighty -------ing,then,was dragged back round,after tea,as the husband of the lady,could not assemble said pump,and as my mother still tells it,i rebuilt it...like a practised Taliban operative,builds up an AK47...
I reckon it taught me more about human nature,than glands and impellers...
Star tike,at dinner,little star by supper...one man's meat,etc

Carrying on from this post, can anyone recall wgat their 1st day at work was? Mine funnily as it seems was polishing MICC cables at a Distribution board, though about and rgought here we go Apprentice Mickey taking starts early at this Firm, bit no, turmd out the Sparl in charge was an ex Mine Electrician, and he was a stickler for making sure all aspects of the job looked right as well as working correctly.I was 7. I painstakingly removed 2 screws from a power socket with a small pair of scissors and then tried to unscrew the live in the same fashion.
This is how I became painfully became interested in them, how about you?
Me neither.Was never interested. Wanted to be a photographer but didn't have the get up and go to persue it. Dad came home one day and said I've got you a job, been fiddling with wires ever since.
