Unfortunately today’s youth are not interested in trades.

My grandson Leo is 7 next week and loves taking things apart and rebuilding them, I will happily encourage and help him down that route.

My own dad, my mums dad and Leo’s other grandad were all very good with their hands, his grandad has been a bus mechanic for much of his life.

I have a young friend who’s 27 and a welder, he earns really good money and loves his job, he’s a rarity.

You were good with your hands too - up some guys legs with your tape measure 😉
