Plumbers are called sh** house mechanics around my end

I think PIPEMAN sounds good, but that doesn't cover women, pipewoman doesn't sound so good.

It is relevant because virtually all work involves pipes, be it water, gas, lead, plastic (spit), soil, waste, flexis (spit). copper or iron.

Just thought of a new word - - - OMNIS (or perhaps spell it omnees so that the other trades know how to pronounce it).

This is because a proper plumber is multiskilled, so as well as plumbing, gas, oil etc, also has to do electrical work, bricking, plastering, woodworking, carpet relaying, etc (i'm sure you can add to this list).

It is also genderless.

Back in the days of CB Radio, a local plumbers "Handle" was "Pipebender" which was quite appropriate for his trade, and was recognised by this.

I think that is the best suggestion yet, only drawback is that it is longer than plumber!

 

[SimonG]

Wrong trade anyway, we should have been mechanics £86 / hour.

How about just BENDER?

Brickies, chippies, spreads, sparks, and benders.

Think it will catch on?

You speak for yourself. I am not, when answering someone to what I am, tell them I am a bender! :smile:

 

[Blumper]

if its a briccie, chippy & sparky,......then shirley it must be a splashy, sploshy, drippy, dribbly, pipey, wrenchy, bendy, cocky, notchy, clippy, fluxy, stacky, tappy, sinky, stinky !, drainy, brainy (!!), kind of name.........

Personally, having given this some considerable thought......I think "tappy", seeing as there is generally one form or another at the start and end of everything we do..... no?

I quite like coppersmith but apparently it exists as the name for someone who makes tat from old copper.
