I’ve come to the same conclusion (but I didn’t give up ). I’ve also wondered whether it would be better to be a plumber than a software developer - no chance that your job can get shipped abroad and you’ll always be in demand.
You cannot make an appointment with them, you have to wait in all week until they call you to say they are going have to make it next week.
When one does turn up he sucks through his teeth, shakes his head, rolls his eyes then gives you a quote for installing a gold bath with gold taps and gold plug. You only wanted his to fix the blocked sink!!!
And to top it all, he only takes cash and does believe in receipts or invoices… yeah right that’s handy!
I wonder if this would be a good job for a stay-at-home dad. You could overcharge like crazy, so if you only do one run a week, you still make quite a profit. You could only do jobs in the evening too, when the wife is home to take care of the children (wouldn’t want to bring them to the stinky man’s house).

Once you have that initial protective coating of dirt, you ever really get much dirtier.
It’s kind of like wind chill. At a certain point, it’s just friggin’ cold. After a while, you can’t really get any dirtier than you are.
I applaud your efforts. And, yet, refuse to come anywhere near you during this period.
Plumbers in the UK….

I’m in the wrong business!!!

Sounds good to me.
