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 :shock: 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2) old, time served, years out of date and chips on both shoulders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

 8)  8) :roll: :roll: :roll:  8)  8)
 
I would put Chris between 3 and 4 !

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

Yes and a 6 for trainee

Speaking of trainees..... Where is our favourite Traineegasman :?:

Have you all frightened him off? :cry:

I heard he was having problems deciding which way round the gas pipe went :lol: :lol: :roll:
 
Tony would obviously put himself in a class of his own, 10/10 :lol:


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