I've 2 2" multiblock gas valves in the shed that were submerged last year that I keep meaning to get round to cleaning and testing.
This one was a brass safety valve.
Thats a very diverse work load mate.
my last job was to change an inlet valve. design of toilet meant you had to take cistern off but bolts rusted to hell, no access to cut and pan concreted to floor. but it was a fluidmaster so i thought, 'just pull top off old one and plonk new one on'
tiniest disturbance of valve started leak on back nut underneath. no access to get to it. spent an hour fighting with bolts. got one off, the other - no chance.
so they need a new loo. turns out they wanted one and were pleased. so all's well...

Bloke in the yard said to me the other day "Why are you always smiling?"
"Because I have absolutely no idea what's going on!" I replied.

Its a current shape Ford Transit, I can tell you that much!!
I've spent all day putting right a dodgy shower pump install. The cold feed was teed off the cylinder cold feed and the hot was teed of the cylinder vent pipe!! Relocated the pump to the airing cupboard, dedicated tank feed and surrey flange fitted! The customer is on his third pump in 18 months, fitted by a local plumber that I've had the displeasure of working on a lot of his previous work recently!

really sacked ?
well managed to do nothing and any work i did do managed not to send it via pda even tho i thought i had, so in effect spent 7 hours of doing nothing as thats what it will look like in the office
Usual day for some people in our place. Feel like im the only one doing a bit some days!
what is a pda ?
Its a hand held computer. About the size of an iPhone. I used to have one at the council to receive my jobs on.
has anyone ever been sacked for being incompetant with one? I honestly think i'm in with a shout

Nahhhhh

We use crapberries for work, all job's are via t'email.
Got a couple of old boys who haven't a scooby with it.
