Did you look in the fridge? Was there run over pigeons and butchered cats?
the plumber did indeed get dropped off first bubbles, it was a very long day glad its over,dragging the scaffold round the room was the worst bit,plastering/polishing the ceiling is enough to do , and as for those two barmpots well these are grown men,good tradesmen , glad its over.
