thanks for that - I had forgotten the memories of Dad with a cast iron bath on his back, going up stairs!
And he did work lead - he looked after the roofs and guttering at the old Austin factory. Plus those bulbous joints fixing copper pipe into lead mains pipes - he tried to teach me once -...
My Dad passed away last week at 88. A great man.
He had the qualifications MRSH and RP. I know what these stand for, and they were earned by him in the 1950's.
RP is not like "corgi-registered plumber", but is a true blue proper plumbing qualification.
I just wondered what level...
