Plumber giving the ****
"Roy Williams, 46, from East Grinstead, Sussex, was captured
urinating into a vase before pouring it into the water tank at a house in Leatherhead, Surrey." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/s...es/4100222.stm Apparently he told the court the sound of running water made him suddenly need to urinate. He was unaware Surrey Trading Standards were filming him, and of course also caught him doing work unnecessary to fix the fault. -- Andrew Gabriel |

I remember one of those 'tradesmen from hell' programmes a couple of years ago when another one of them was caught on camera doing just the same thing. -- David |

Maybe - though the BBC piece does report that Trading Standards were repsonsible for the cameras rather than Poxy TV Programmes Ltd David |

So I get the job of carrying a few boxes up into the attic for him, and stowing them up there alongside the CW tank. While I'm up there, I discover a large and clearly ancient fossilised turd. Just sat there on the plywood next to the tank. Wasn't pigeon, cat or weasel, so I guess it had to be plumber! |

Is it only plumbers who do this sort of thing? If anyone says 'yes'? I don't believe them. Mary -- David |

Ther idea of luxury is to use the digger to scoop a hole in the ground and then sit on the tines... Roadies are similar too. A fiend who used to work for Marshalls Amplification in the early 70's got a whole load of overlaoded speakers in for repairs, with a giant roadie turd in each one, and '****ing ****' stencilled over the band name...deep purple I think he said..
