they think its all over, it is now

I think we could arrange that somewhere halfway Tappy, i'd like that,,,

thanks jamesy and i do understand your term of endearment, old cunts like me die out because its the way the world is, My way of plumbing has moved on now and evolved into a new way of plumbing, plastic pipes,high tech boilers,Look at Dicks pics of site woork today, Its a million miles from my time on sites, new controls,shiney shoe site managers with safety certificates hanging on the wall, He doest care if you flood a house but you better not come to the office wanting a plaster cos you cut a finger, that has to go in the injury book and he loses a months bonus, then there's an inquiry about how someone gets injured at work with all the rules and regs forbidding it,
In my day you'd call at the plumbers merchant and ask for a, half inch male iron back inlet elbow, today you'd be arrested under the homophobic equality P.C brigade and tagged for a month and probably have to do 10 weeks community service, Because 1. the staff at screwfix don't have a clue what that is
and 2 you need the item part number,
I believe my generation of plumbers have had the best times, We've never had to go to war or been draughted in to do national service, we missed the lead and cast iron age of humping cast baths upstairs, we learned copper skills and most of the time it was, plumber v task, the task never won, the plumber always got the job done, there was no shiney shoe rule book reader saying, " where's you hat", you could park where you wanted and if the site foreman complained, We threw the toolbox on the shoulder and fucked off, there has always been work for a plumber,even when sites died,

A plumber will always be needed but now the, middle managememt,blood sucking,leeches have squeezed them selves inbetween the plumber and the client, they ride the desk pushing pens and making more money than the actual worker, Its how the world has become, the pen is mightier than the toolkit,

Tom you are a fukn legend  ..........half inch male iron back inlet elbow, pissin myself with that   ,you are so right screwfix and dumbcentre would be filling in forms with harrassement at work and will be sent home with post traumatic stress disorder , for instance i went to plummy centre today to pick up an order i made online  the place was empty just like my bank balance and yet he fucked about on his fukin screen typing who knows what he asked me 4 times the order number and asked me to spell my company names he humph and haaaaad then sighed then evntually he looked at the side of his counter and there it was just sitting there fucking total arse when i first saw him i gave him 2 months but nope 6 months later hes still there honestly i wouldnt trust him with a cuppa tea hes def one them milk in b4 teabag you know the sort lol 

Enjoy your retirement Tom, you deserve it.

thanks Astra, I try to be true to myself, I'm an uneducated working class plumber and never wished for anything more, Its called contentment , Very few people find it in life, you have recognized that in me and that makes me happy,
most want more, when they get more, its not enough,

I'm happy with a roof over my head, a pint and a butty,,

I content too

Small house & van, that enough for me, maybe one day a bungalow

A holiday a year & make sure Rct Jnr is happy

I do not chase the £££

I do what I do, could probably get a full time job & earn more but I just do what I want

Best way to be
