I am a partner in A1 Perfect Plumbing Ltd, in Grantham, with my brother-in-law, Neil. Today I am an experienced plumber and gas engineer, however, during my 46 years I have wandered into numerous careers: I was a window cleaner (didn’t like ladders), a painter and decorator (still didn’t like ladders), a biochemist (didn’t like test tubes), a banker (didn’t like bankers) and an I.T. consultant -morbid fear of the F12 key. With a brief interlude to back-pack around the world, I.T. was where I remained for the next 18 years. Then, in a whirlwind 12 months, it all changed: I moved to the wilds of Lincolnshire, got married, turned my back on computers and set off along the surprisingly long road to fully qualified plumber. My blog covers the day to day trials and tribulations of the self employed plumber; the work, the industry, the customers, the joys of business management and the weird and wonderful things I come across here in the rural idyll that is Grantham. Most of all I write about the things that interest and amuse me and, if these aren't plumbing related, you can usually read about them at plumbingthedepths.blog.com. or, more likely these days, at fatherhood-tales.blogspot.com
