Christopher , My Da was a carpenter, and worked in the Ship yards for a wee while after the war (He often reckoned he was one of the few who did!) He'd been apprenticed to a cousin, in the buildings, and been kept hard at it, so it came as a shock to him to discover that in the yards you needed to make job last out a bit , when the job was done, so were the tradesmen! He always swore that job delineation was so strict the man who hammered in the right hand nails would'nt have dreamt of touching the left hand ones! He used to tell us about a fella that put his day in carrying a plank from one end of the ship to the other, and back again ! Any more stories out there? Coral
