Plumbers Crack
Apparently the expression "Plumbers Crack" is now officially in the Oxford
English Dictionary. Other expressions noted are "plumber's cleavage" (and "brickie's cleavage"), "refrigerator repairman's bottom", and "electrician's butt". In Australia it's the "coin slot", or "builder's smile". In Dutch its "bouwvakkersdecolleté", which translates into English as "builder's cleavage" So now you know................. -- Dave The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |

Plumbers Crack
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "The Medway Handyman" saying something like: Apparently the expression "Plumbers Crack" is now officially in the Oxford English Dictionary. Hmm... yes, well, thanks for that. -- Dave |
