  3. We have an electrician at work called Flood and a plumber called Short. Not sure whether they picked the right career or the wrong one.
     
  4. It's a well known fact that this thread was only a matter of time in coming if only to acknowledge the fact that all plumbers , heating engineers and boiler bashers are the cornerstone of society,life would come to a complete standstill with them .

    Stop using that PTFE for that kind of thing

    I have to admit that as far as possible I have DIY fixed the plumbing and heating in the two houses I have owned.

    So I dont know any facts about plumbers except all of them I have met on TLB are nice friendly people.

  17. There’s nowt wrong with Marmite house plumbers. Chap used to do work for me had two rollers. He would walk into the office looking for all the world like a cross between Fred Dibnah and Stig of the dump declaring “Normans the name, Marmites the game” . Had to get rid of one of his rollers when one of his ex wives grassed him up to the VAT. Salt of the earth!
