Gas safe

A plumber is a gasman with a lobotomy

Perhaps they needed a lobotomy - those ops were done for good reason

Sadly it was only a partial success.

I was talking to a plumber friend several years ago. He was, until he retired Corgi registered. I stated that when he was a young man, plumbing was a skilled job. Pipes were usually lead, sometimes steel or cast-iron, and skill was required to install and connect this type of pipework. Then came copper tubing which was much easier to work with, and special fittings to join lengths together. Finally, plastic, with push-fit connectors requires little skill to install. He agreed, and said that it was only the "difficult" jobs which kept him going, along with his CORGI registration which allows him to work on gas. Thus, why is plumbing seen as such a lucrative occupation? Comments on a postcard, please.

Materials have certainly made many plumbing jobs easier than they used to be but you still need to know what you are doing and there is still a big difference between a good and bad job. Good plumbers still make good money for a reason.

Could that 'reason' possibly be 'GREED' ?
