Plumber

! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.

Mrs Sane phoned me at work yesterday to tell me that something in the upstairs bathroom was leaking.  Again.

When I got home from work, the ceiling in the downstairs bathroom was soaking and water was dripping from the light fittings.  Generally not a good sign so I fired up the laptop and Googled for a plumber.

The first one I phoned went straight to voicemail, the second one was too busy and then I spotted a name I recognised.  I phoned my mum and sister to find out why I recognised the name and it turns out I went to school with his daughter so I gave him a call, dropped the fact that I went to school with his daughter into the conversation and booked him to come out this morning.

He turned up bang on time at 8.30 this morning, spent a couple of hours taking the bath panel off, finding out what was wrong and changing the pipe from the cold water tap and charged me … £40.  Bargain.
