Its at James Hargeaves so up north
First of all its a job! Many dont have one.
Second, its actually a very good way into plumbing. You meet local plumbers and IF they are impressed by you they will be able to offer you an apprenticeship or a job.
It does not always work out though. Dan took on this bright fellow from a merchant. He had taken his NVQ2 and seemed pretty sensible. Unfortunately he did not develop well and was rather less than honest and had to be "let go".

Let us know what the offer is like. Good luck with it 
At least you won't have to worry about knackering up your knees! To be fair though a lot of people at merchants have a very good knowledge of plumbing, especially when it comes to fittings e.t.c, so you could learn quite a lot.
I wont employ you, you can't spell.
And you can't punctuate.
Cheers Tony...just got that plkey out of my thoughts
One thought though. How come they haven't indicated the salary to the OP?

I am looking at doing this to hopefully get back in to plumbing.
