Your answers Gentlemen, please. This is indicating a serious problem in the Industry. Trust is now zero. I am disgusted with the behavior of these alleged "inspectors" who are dim, dumb, deaf and blind, and cannot read the BBB. It is not good enough is it?
Interesting post from Gaston, but what about the days of grammar schools and secondary moderns? Grammar school boys (and some girls) went up to university; secondary moderns got an apprenticeship and went out to work.
In those days, about 15% of school-leavers went to university, now it is 50%. So I wonder whether the 35% of above average pupils who endured an apprenticeship and took up a trade were rather brighter than those who seek a trade nowadays.
