"Plumbing for Dummies" was a best seller at Xmas did you get a doctors play set as well?
did you get a doctors play set as well? No Walter, and he didn't get a personality either. If you are a skilled timeserved Plumber that's got a lot of cowboy competition, shop them to the tax man. Most of these 'course cowboys' are working for cash. Get their van reg number and phone the Inland Revenue/VAT up. Take a note of the houses they are working at you'll need that also. It will not be long before they disappear.
Its so quiet I thought the phone had gone wrong! The serious point is there are so many handymen and short course cowboys theres little work about. Then of course all these insurance companies selling plumbing cover. The point is this won't get better because Plumbers need to act to protect their trade - surely some form of work permit to show you are qualified? The only answer is to showe you do a good job and demonstrate to customers what the diference between a proper plumber and a cowboy is.
Walter what the f*&k you on? idiot wot a laff... I address a reply to the moron ally1957 and you chuck your rattle out....
Walter what the f*&k you on? idiot wot a laff... I address a reply to the moron ally1957 and you chuck your rattle out.... Too bad this moron has time and money to burn by having halfwits like you working for him. You'll go blind sitting looking at that monitor 24/7. Get a life
Walter what the f*&k you on? idiot let's be fair ..you don't emplo wot a laff... I address a reply to the moron ally1957 and you chuck your rattle out.... Too bad this moron has time and money to burn by having halfwits like you working for him. You'll go blind sitting looking at that monitor 24/7. Get a life Fantastic, at last you recognise yourself as a moron. But even a moron needs a reality check, nobody works for you..they use you. Thanks for your interest in my vision but I don't need your interest so **** off..
But even a moron needs a reality check, nobody works for you..they use you. Well obviously you and your sad sack friend Puller aren't using anyone today (as usual). What a waste of space you two are.

Work is picking up speedily for me at the moment - I've had two really good weeks and this and next are looking rosy too (bout time!). Shame is I'm gonna have to cancel loadsa jobs when the wife gives birth
So would you say you get most of your work from advertising or is it more word of mouth? what advertising works best for you?
