Rip-off plumbers featured on Watchdog tonight

Self-explanatory. Also, the GRS plumber was not, he was using someone else's card.

its very common to see a plumber featured on these programes. the trouble is it paints a disproportionate picture of the trade and its trademen. It does not make good viewing to show that most tradesmen are hard working honest people of course. I wonder why the public tends to not trust its tradesmen??

i should also add that no body on here should be supprised he did not have a GS card, afterall there are many new members oh here each week asking for advise so they can ilegally fix stuff. We try and ask them to prove they have a GS card and the dummy comes out the pram alot.
