    So you lot have got bathrooms eh? Well, when I was lad we had to stand out in't rain to get washed, go down garden to pee on't compost heap and if you wanted a crap we had to walk to town and use Hammonds bogs. But we didn't complain...

    My mate also a plumber used to work for council, he got told to go to a house on Preston Road, probably 30 years ago now, to check on a blocked toilet when he went into the bathroom, the bath was full of ****, they used it when they blocked the toilet, dirty bastards

    Many years ago I had to go to the old index shop on King Edward street to change a sump pump, not just any pump but a **** pump, bawk, it's got a basement where the tank containing the **** and piss was, because it is below sewer level it had to be pumped away.

    When I got there some builders from Simons where there, they had to shovel the **** out into buckets,( see it really does happen) and carry it outside and tip it into the sewer, the smell was horrendous, I rang my boss and told him I wanted a proper gas mask, these two builders had scarves wrapped round their faces and one of them spent and about an hour retching.

    I got my mask and proceeded to change the pump, the tank must have been 3 foot square and two foot deep and because the **** had been piling up ( sorry) the heat and the stink generated was tremendous it was like a sauna they had to close the shop and all the staff vacated.

    If the Ebola doctors had the gear I had on they would have been ok, anyway I changed this pump in about 5 minutes easily, meanwhile the builders had gas masks on and I proceeded to test the pump by getting the bogs flushed, about 10 gallons on **** came down the soil pipe covered the builders and the retching one was sick in his mask.

    The moral of this story, plumbers are worth every penny they get paid.

    It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it, when someone tells you they can do plumbing, tell them that story and ask them if they could do the same, and long sleeved marigolds aren't long enough when you try and get a kids toy from round the U bend and a woman has had a ****, bleugh

    Sorry to keep writing **** stories, but only last week I was working down Spring Bank were they are exterior insulating some of the houses and temporary soil stacks were put in, when they get rendered the stacks were put in permanent but the old ones have to be disconnected.

    The tenants were told we were working on them so do not use them for an hour, what happens just as I got the bend in my hand I heard the bog flush and a waterfall of **** just missed me but covered all our fittings, dirty bastards

    Confuses me when I run hot water and have to wait 30 seconds, maybe even a minute, for it to run hot.

    I have an old system that heats water in advance. It's there in a tank just a couple of rooms away and it's hot. Why does it take so long to get to the tap?

    You can't see it, but the bastard plumbers installed pipes in your walls that look like an Alton Towers ride. It might only be 10 yards but there's 100 yards of pipe.

    Try insulating (lag) your hot water pipes..it'll get hot water to the tap faster. Or move the tap closer to the tank !

    Leave the hot tap slightly open, et voilĂ , instant hot water, and a nice bit of background noise from the header tank filling to drown [sic] out/annoy the neighbours. <ok>
