    Default Payback on rogue plumber

    Just got back from looking at a job for a kitchen and hallway and a bit of plumbing. Did their bathroom a year or so ago http://www.tilersforums.co.uk/other-...oh-my-god.html

    When I pulled up that scumbag plumber was working 2 doors up - how can people like these still be trading?
    I shouted to him
    'have you paid Natasha the money you owe her!?'
    which he of course ignored. Finished measuring up and this guy and his helper had packed up and gone so I knocked at the door and had a word with the owner. She couldn't thank me enough and thought the work they had done today was rough. Gave her the number of my heating engineer mate who will be taking over the job.

    Nice One Macten. I also do plumbing and tiling so it's good to see justice being done to some rogue's.

    OMG was a good read too, nice work sorting it out, and that vid someone posted of the irish guy showing the polish plumbing was shocking but amusing at the same time!!
