I was reading a Canadian website and came across the term "journeyperson". "Whassat?" I thought, so checked my online dictionary and it turns out that "journeyman" is a North American expression meaning "tradesman". Also, tradesman over there usually means "shopkeeper". Those crazy Canadians and their maple-syrup induced ideas! :LOL: (note to any Canadians reading this: half my family lives in Canada and it is a wonderful country, eh)

Anyway, I thought "what are all the different tradenames we have here?" So what I have come up with is the ones I know, hopefully you can all add to it. Real names only, no made up ones (so "fired-clay block placement engineer" for bricklayer doesn't count!) But duplicate ones are acceptable (if a Spark can also be called a Zapper, for example).


Spark - Electrician
Bricky - Bricklayer
Chippy - Carpenter
Spread - Plasterer
Drip - Plumber

You jest, but my parents are currently making good use of the services of a builder called Bob!
