Plumbers

I know it’s been leaking slightly the last few days, but have been too damn busy at work to ring the plumber. Then yesterday I got up to find the kitchen floor flooded. Bucket put under the sink, and rang the plumber first thing I got to work. He promised to come round last night after 6 o’clock.

I got home from work, the bucket was full to overflowing. I emptied it, and sat down to wait.

And wait.

At 8.30 I rang him, and he was all hassled, still stuck on the job he’d been on all day. So he promised to come round tonight.

This morning, even more water, despite the bucket. I switched the water off at the mains, because I couldn’t afford to have the whole house flooded!

At 7.30, he turned up. And fiddled around with my pipes (oo-er missus). He says it shouldn’t leak, but in a couple of weeks, he will come round on a Saturday to redo the whole plumbing works (he didn’t have al the stuff with him - it’s still with the other customer who still hasn’t got any plumbing sorted, although he did manage to get away earlier tonight).

And he didn’t charge me.

That’s the third time he’s not charged me. He says he’ll charge me next time.

You hear so much about rip-off plumbers, I am pretty lucky to have found him!
