My brain kept snagging at the image of the curly perm. The YTS Karma passing on too - I tried it explain that when I was recruiting a Kickstarter the other year. The Job Centre kept expressing shock that we might actually care about someone learning during the time …
Ahh the YTS . I did mine at a Berni Inn. They took me on after and I ended up running the snack bar side. Served The Spinners their dinner once cooked by my own fair hand!😂
Three behind, and now all caught up, and can recommend a mug of tea and Marmite toast with dippy eggs for doing so. Great stuff as ever. My twinny went through the youth training programme that followed on from YTS. He was absolutely gutted to not get his GCSEs and miss out on college, but started to quickly climb the retail ladder, starting on somewhere around that £27 a week figure (which felt like a fortune at the time!).
Omg, YTS. Remember it well 😝
Like it was yesterday.

The YTS scheme took a lot of knocks but they could be useful, as was my perm.

Wow. Rubbing shoulders with big shots. I forgot about Berni Inns.
Oh yes!! Who could forget Berni inns?😂😂

A nice story. Yes they were mocked at times but like everything, if you make use of it you can benefit.
look at us, THATCHERITES!
Or, as you so rightly say VB, people will always make the best of what little there is, thank feck
Although Mrs. T took a lot of flack, there did seem to be a culture of making something of yourself.
Well, it seems the stars aligned for both you and Lauren - you for finding someone so capable and her landing a gig in an awesome restaurant!
And it always seems like a good idea to have a ‘quick drink’ when you think you have the time, doesn’t it 🤣
Thanks Mark, yes, when everything falls into place it’s a blessing from the Gods.
And the words quick and drink shouldn’t go together.
Now I wish I had the superpower of knowing when the potatoes are cooked just by looking at the pot!
I think you already have that super power
I didn’t know that!
There you go
