I suppose bcos of cash in hand non-payment is dealt with according to summary justice instead of legal action, and it may apply to most independent traders or tradesmen, but through experience I associate that exaggerated idea of 'having a few mates who can sort you out if you cross me' with plumbers. In fact it may be a medical condition: plumbers syndrome, a two-bob tradesman who thinks he's the godfather. Am I alone with this point of view? I'm not a snob btw, just never got on that well with plumbers.

Plumbers, like mechanics, do have the advantage of having spanners to hand.

Problem is,like mechanics,they can spout any old sh*te as to the problem and you have no idea if you're being shafted or not.

Well, being a plumber has got to be better than being a copper or a brass. For some it's lead to them being pretty flush. You have to tap into a good thread of money. My cousin Adrian used to go out with a lady plumber. He went off her. In fact after a while our Ady hate her.
