She was saying that in our city no-one is training apprentices. If anyone wants to learn this trade they have to travel to Sydney. <BR/><BR/>I was interested to read Kris' comment that in Hobart (Australia) there is a little shop like your one. I wonder if the owner is training anyone. <BR/><BR/>The little shop where we used to get watches repaired inn my suburb closed recently. Like the ones in Riccardo's town, it was a jewellers shop.parlancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11175843064324380048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080984325144354995.post-83847387312371127802008-08-07T23:20:00.000+02:002008-08-07T23:20:00.000+02:00One thing I appreciate about island life, is the r...One thing I appreciate about island life, is the reversal of the throwaway nations elsewhere.

I don't know why but they always do this kind of job (maybe because they sell watches, too).<BR/>And all the times I have to repair them there is ALWAYS an old man (with glasses) who comes out from behind a curtain or little room to get them.<BR/>I've always asked myself why there were no young people.<BR/>Good to see this guy now!Riccardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03992373974046765073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080984325144354995.post-82941709874073672272008-08-07T09:28:00.000+02:002008-08-07T09:28:00.000+02:00Wow!
