The plumber Ashley was outstanding from the first

JGH

I have watched it.

There is no way I can do what I do now when I am 70 at the same speed.

Could I still do it? Why not?

BTW we have a new apprentice. There is something seriously wrong with this
one. He is interested in what he does, he is a quick learner and is good at
his job. And for some reason I liked him the moment I met him (just the way
he spoke to me when we met did the trick).

He cannot afford to insure a car so he takes the train to Doncaster and then
bikes it from the train station to the unit. He is an absolute pleasure to
talk to and is just superb in every aspect of his work. In fact he is
causing problems because he is fitting the gear faster than we can get it
delivered! And everything he has installed is perfect.

Much better than the tosser that was fired yesterday (that was the one I
punched in the ******** a couple of months ago).
