At a rough count then, it would appear that with a few notable exceptions, most of the responders to my thread are idiots. God help your customers if you are so called professionals.

No. I was the one having a laugh at their expense, and yes I did indeed know it all compared to them.

Why do you think so many Polish and other EU nationals do so well in trades over here? It's because they are generally more intelligent and better educated. People over here, for the most part, don't volunteer to dig holes and get filthy for a living in a manual trade, or become gas meter fitters -- unless they are earning a very fat salary -- , if they have a reasonable level functioning grey matter. Instead they become the chaps in charge of, or own the companies that employ them.

And again Mr turd, you make the same mistake of assuming I'm old. I'm not. Try 35, and in a very well paid professional business.

I'll leave you all now to have the last words. You and I both know you won't be happy unless you do.

So fire away children. Show yourselves up for the simpletons that you are, and get back to work. But next time, please do a decent job, lest you lose it to a Romanian or Polish plumber/fitter. He'll likely do a far cheaper and better job than you ever can.

I'm certain that there are decent intelligent professionals on this board. It's a shame that there are also so many fools.

Fellas, in fairness to the op he wasn't really asking too much. He got what he wanted which was minimal groundwork and his drive intact. If you were in his position, what would you have done?

What's a bit more worrying is the question of how long matey boy's mano had been at fault

Yes, when you get to my age your hose does get a bit frayed pushing it on the nipple la.
