Unlucky mate but hopefully you will find something better soon. You were on about low wage & unpaid overtime the other day so you are probably better off somewhere new.
Keep your chin up :)  :wink:

Sorry to hear that Mike - fairly typical of employers who use (abuse) apprentices - happens all the time so don't feel picked on
Mate of mine runs a garage in Dunoon - I can have a word if you fancy moving to the posh side of Scotland ! :wink:

Mike - I don't know what the market is like for mechanics in Scotland, but we are crying out for them down here!

My dad had a real struggle finding suitable applicants when he was last looking.  

Unfortunately he's sold the garage now, so I can't directly help!
