There's one called "Rogue Traders" here.
They filmed a plumber taking **** in a header tank,
and another one taking a **** in the bathroom basin,
even though it was only about 2 feet from a perfectly
working toilet.


But the BBC film those programmes for entertainment*, and the same
rogues are found still operating (often later on the same programme)
while trading standards and the courts do little to stop them. It kills
public interest in hiring good professionals and things requiring safety
work in the home get left undone, or left for resolution in the hands of
the even more inexperienced.

* - To be honest, Rogue Traders and Watchdog is more daily maul
voyeurism than public information these days. Some of their 'articles'
would make better viewing shown _after_ the process of law has happened
and rogues have been seen to. Not just left as "oh dear, this has
happened, how horrible (what a silly old fool of a customer)" :-(
