Got a new JOB

I start my new job in September, finally leaving the council .
Going back on the tools as a plumber/duty engineer in a hotel near old Trafford.
offered me £5000 a year more than I'm paid now, 8-4 Monday to Friday.
Handing my notice on Monday cant wait to see my managers face.

 

Congratulations! More money coming in is always wonderful It mesns they value your skills too!

 

Congratulations Ian and all the
best for the future

 

Congratulations Ian.

 

Thanks everyone it comes at the right time , as Mrs T finishes work in 12 days voluntary redundancy also from the council, she's thinking of going to night school to do photography.
She hasn't any idea on what career she would like to do

 

Nice one Ian

Don't forget it's 15mm now and not half inch pipe anymore

 

Thanks @Zigs, I still ask for timber in feet and inch's, recently went to a local builders merchant asking for 4"x4"x 10' posts, the bloke just looked at me like I was talking a different language, I must be getting old

 

I've started asking for an ounce of amber leaf now they've changed it to 30g

 

now that would confuse someone of a younger generation

 

Congrats Ian !
They don't do lead wiped joints these days as well
How many regs is the diagram below breaking these days !

 

Our local plumber did one for us a few years ago, but he retired last year (about the only plumbing job I can't do).

There's now a dearth of plumbers and even if they can be bothered to turn up for a quote, that's the last you see of them, pèople can't even get those known to be rubbish plumbers to return calls. I'm now having to do all my in-laws plumbing jobs as well as our own (completely re-plumbed our house myself).

 

That is excellent news Ian and I'm totally thrilled for you!!! I know just how stressful the job you are in now has been for you.

I'm hoping this will be a turning point for you and your wife.

Best of British!
