Fake Plumbers posing

[Stanios]

Once in a while stumble upon websites, magazines etc with images of "plumbers" posing with completely inaccurate tools / materials making the whole thing look ridicuous to anyone who has a clue. Just going to post a few recent ones..

Retrofiting that thermocouple to a Worcester CDI

• Stillsons on a chrome towel rail
• Blue gloves with Stillsons, orange gloves in nailbag - must be for when using a spanner
• Plunger in nailbag
• Sidecutters on a basin top
• Thermocouple on a condensing boiler
• Shifting spanner on round chrome trap
• Manicured fingernails
• 2 1/2 day growth

- As for the posing and the pleasant smiles - no one would ever believe they are plumbers.

The first one is John Wilson - Ravenheats top man

I'm loving it, Stanios. I've just done an image search and most stock images of plumbers just have to have the big Stilsons out doing something daft. After that it's the pump pliers. I'll see if I can find a couple of good ones and put them up here.

Great idea for a topic by the way!

Apart from Wilson, they are "stock photos" - all stock photos of plumbers (or any other trade) are so.
