Last time I had the plumber in to sort out a blocked drain, I asked him straight up whether the "Bonk like a Bastard" tattoo on his right forearm indicated a predilection for ambiguous social interactions likely to induce existential self-analysis of an unpredictable and potentially life-changing nature in his clientele. After we had taken an hour or two to establish a common understanding of the nature of my misgivings, he was kind enough to point me to the logo on the side of his company vehicle: "Drains R'Us - Providing a Mutually Re-Enforceable Safe Space for Your Turd Removal Solutions." There followed a series of bangings, knockings and plunging noises of a reassuringly industrious nature, plus breaks of indeterminate length for cigarettes and the placing of bets.<br /><br />Well OK, the plumbing problem has now backed up into my sink but I feel reassured about the essential decency of the working classes, at a cost of only £400 plus call-out charge.Pimlico Plungernoreply@blogger.com
