Well some of them are working in Devon.
We needed a plumber and having been previously badly served by the older tradesman, we tried a young lad who was just setting up, He was available, turned up on time and went the extra mile, The attitude of the older guys was I was lucky to have them, their time keeping was dreadful and the job was often botched, the last one so badly he was too ashamed to send a bill.
The lad that turned up to service my gas boiler this year looked like he had not started shaving yet. The lad the year before found a leak that three of the manufacturers own engineers had missed on previous visits.
