Why not? When I was an apprentice, on the big jobs we were not allowed in the same cabin as the time served guys. That had to be earned by getting qualified

I know, it was common place. Until the 90's (for example) in the Gas Board there were still separate canteens for the "Officers" and a canteen for Graded staff and the engineers, etc.

'Officer' was just a grading, it meant nothing really except you got paid a bit more and maybe supervised more, but they had a separate canteen! Like on a ship!!!!

We had converted buses and railway freight carriages with coal stoves in them, great fun.

I'll always remember being a 17year old apprentice at the pit and asking a few 'control circuit' questions when the men were arguing about Saturdays footy match.

They all used to stop and get the wiring diagrams out.............:dozey:

Royal navy was the same. I was not allowed to be in the mess with other lads until I passed nearly 7 different exams and oral boards. Then I was still considered the lowest and had to earn respect of the crew by washing up and making tea / coffee.

In the engine room I had to sit on the floor rather than seats near the water boiler.

It's some thing I'm glad I did!!!
