Unfortunately, I feel the need to mention 'my' plumber again.  The one I slaughtered - but only, sadly, in fantasy.

Last week I recounted how he bullied me into getting a new sink "because the clips have gone" Couldn't he replace the clips?  He refused to hear my questions.

At the time I thought his motives were psychological, possibly because I had the wrong, posh accent. Class war, ha, ha.

However, I have now discovered that old sinks (not that this one looked old, even the clips) have surprisingly high scrap value.  So by getting me to spend £130 on a new sink, he  probably got more than £20 for my old one.

Of course I can't prove it.  And he's an old school chum of the carpenter boss he works for.  So if I complain to the boss (pleasant enough in his own right) I'm more likely to get a visit from Ray, the thug plumber, than any redress.
