Billy Boy
In the 1950s and 1960s, the Billy Boy was responsible for making tea for men who were hard at work. They were considered apprentices and spent their days making sure construction and other workers were well hydrated as they toiled outdoors for many hours. These days interns still fetch coffee and tea but usually, it’s from the company break room or a quick run through the Starbucks drive-thru. I’m not sure what they were apprenticing for but it sounds like boring work.
