You'd just have to front something like that out. Walking down the high street with your dangleros hanging through the neck hole, saying, 'hello, lovely evening isn't it,' and when challenged by the wife or mother, just tell her it's the latest trend and that all the fashionistas of Covent Garden are wearing leg pullovers

I used to commute from Leeds to Kings Cross and got the 6:40 on a Monday morning. Every week the same guy got on at Doncaster, sat next to me, put his suit jacket over himself (blanket style) and went to sleep.


We never said a peep to each other for over a year!

But you shaved his eyebrows & drew a mustache on with a felt-tip, right?


( then took a photo on your i-phone )

My dad used to roll a special little single skinner for his journey to work by tube,


he spotted a guy smoking a pipe so sat next to him thinking it would hide the smell of


his rollie substance. As the journey went on he felt everyone looking, thought about putting it out,


avoided staring directly at anyone, but hoped in his paranoia the guy with the pipe would get the blame.


It wasnt till he was getting off that he realised he was sitting next to Tony Benn.

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
