Of course, said Polish gasfitter might be registered with whatever the
Polish equivalent of CORGI is[1] and so should, under mutual recognition
of qualifications and free movement of labour within the EU, be allowed
to practice in this country.

Ah. It's now a *Polish* gasfitter?;-) T'was but an Eastern European
earlier...

Shortly after I came to London in nineteen hundred and mumble mumble, I
had a bedsit in the family home of a Polish plumber. Quite the best
landlord I ever had, and one of the nicest people I've known, too.

Just thought you'd like to know that. ;-)
