State of the Uk plumbing industry

Hi Barney

I’ve been a roofing for over 25 years working mainly in London, fortunately nothing’s really changed for us recession wise, if you have a leaking roof you have to have it fixed, i would of thought that would apply to plumbing say you had a burst pipe or leaking tap ?

Hi, as I said I do Ok as I cover central London, have contracts with one of the best letting high end agents in London.

In London the only reason people can not make a living is because they are lazy, this is why all migrants generally come here first, they don't jump on the first plane and head for Bristol International Airport it's always an airport close to London. In London you can find a job handing out leaflets, car washing, waiting, in fact you can find a job doing almost anything. The main reason people don't get work is because they put up an excuse of why not to take up a job. I have offered untold work to people for
