Watched the prog where a secretary managed to nick nearly £4 million and nobody was noticing, £16500.00 for wine !!!!! ect, if all that money is being ripped off us by big companies and nobody moans why is it a problem when plumbers do it.
Seemed to me she was doing all the hours so deserved it, she did everything but wipe there *******

Attitude.
Plumbers are jumped up handymen taking advantage of ordinary poor people and their basic needs. Everone is entitled to water to drink, warmth and a bog to pee in. All old people should have things provided free immediately. After all they have their kids' inheritance to protect.

Why should school drop-outs charge £60 to change a 5p washer. It's blackmail. Not the customer's fault if it's corroded together in the corner of an unboarded loft, is it?

Well said that man.... Some of us here have enough science and electro/engineering qualifications (gained in none domestic environments) to wallpaper the kitchen with. Yet I have to have a corgi to even 'look at' my heating appliances and some supposed 'part P' wally to botch my electrics for me. But thats progress for you You have to laugh don't you !

I think you'll find the prevailing attitude of everyone who is not a plumber or a heating engineer is that they were generally in the non-exam stream at school and were too thick to do anything else. Mind you I've met a few of those.....

Some people are really quick to pigeon-hole plumbers, as either:

1) old, time served, real plumbers who are the only ones worth employing
2) old, time served, years out of date and chips on both shoulders
3) new to plumbing (<10 years) don't understand enough yet
4) new to plumbing (<10 years) bang up to date with all the new kit and regs

I sometimes think I'm between 2 and 3.

I must be somewhere between 1 and 2 then

 

[Agile]

I would put Chris between 3 and 4 !

I would put John between 1 and 4 but not involving 2 or 3 !

I heard he was having problems deciding which way round the gas pipe went

Tony would obviously put himself in a class of his own, 10/10


...and by the way I put my first CH's in around 1980!
