Be careful .... they're letting me near knives and sharp objects.

At the beggining of all this C19 stuff I quit my job and ended up in one of those temp 4hr contracts at my local supermarket. Fast forward to today and I am now an aprentice butcher. Course started today although I've been doing the work for a week or so. Also doing fishmongery but thats in house rather than with an external company. Good fun so far although my hands stink of fish after work.

Good on you mate, and I've noticed over the years that the cheeriest people you meet in the shops are the butchers, Hope it goes well

Aren't you a bit old for apprenticeships?

[Dutchman]

Nice one, skills you could use anywhere in the world

Not really, I dont get paid any less and actually get a whole 20p an hour more now. Once qaulified I get the full rate (after 15 months) and I get a useful skill.

Yup, the geezers are always on the look out for a good knife man.

Couple of local butchers near me who are always busy and occasionally looking for staff.

As steady a trade as any just now I’d think.

First job when i left school was a Butcher. Littlewoods as they had a food hall back in 79 then a shop called Midlothian Meat centre on leith walk. Unfortunately it was through the YOPS scheme and they never keep you on after the six month of free labour. 2nd one shut down anyway as he got held up with a shotgun so he went back to supermarket butchering.

Blimey, it must be rough there, armed robbery at a butchers shop

The steaks were high...

Give 'em a chop and they'll take a leg.
