I heard a knock on the door a hour ago, this bloke stood there and asked " are you a plumber" yes, I replied, can I help you. He said I'm a plumber too and retired and want to get rid of a load o shite out of my shed, you can have what you want, This guy is 75, So we got chatting, I invited him in for a cuppa and it turns out he knows loads of people I know, He even knows my brother ( he's also a plumber) and worked with this guy, A small world indeed, So i asked, " how did you know where i lived" he said " I only live down the road" 300 yards away and he was talking to a friend of his who said, " there's plumber up the road who might like all this shite you've got, he's a young man and will find use of it" young man I pissed meself,, Anyrode, I'm going down tomorrow and I'll list what he has and take some pics and if anyone can use it, you can have it for the postal cost,

Quit a while since I was called "Young Man" as well tom. I'm always joking that the first time anyone says "That old fella did it" I'm retiring right there and then.

While there's thinking in plumbing you'll never be able to get rid of the old plumber - too many of the new breed of young plumbers can't handle the issue of plumbing is fitting and fitting requires more than a one go of measuring and trial and improvement!
