I really must tell my growing list of customers not to book me anymore.

I know I have prospered through the worst recession in living memory,
have more work than I can handle, run the most successful handyman
business in the area and am the only Fair Trader handyman service in
town.

Good for you. I am genuinely happy the drains in Medway are in such a
state that your craft is in high demand.

I wonder why cyclists have this fascination with drains? *Perhaps its
because they ride in the gutter? Or smell like sewers?

Cwispin; Your homework tonight. *Look up the meaning of the word
'handyman' and the phrase 'drain cleaner'. *Compare& *contrast.

=====Quote=====
A handyperson, handyman, or handywoman is a a person competent in a
variety of trade skills, inventive/ingenious repair, and maintenance
work. The term often describes someone who is paid for the application
of these skills around the home. Tasks for which a handyperson is
employed may be as simple as a minor drywall repair, or as complex as
remodeling a bathroom.
Some handypeople are more skilled than others and perform more than
just general repairs. A good handyperson is skillful, dexterous,
practical, clever, able, competent, and proficient in whatever it is
they are doing. Some handypeople are licensed and insured. Some are
not. There are different laws for different jurisdictions and
licensing/insurance are not always required. For safety reasons, some
jurisdictions disallow handypeople from working on plumbing (they can
undertake minor works such as replacing taps, connecting up new sinks,
fixing dripping taps or installing new washing machines etc.),
electrical wiring or gas-fitting services without being licensed in
the applicable trade.
While many handypeople can be found through the traditional methods
(referral, search engine, telephone directory, newspaper etc.), some
are hired as day labor from the parking lots of local hardware stores.
Since a handyperson is often given access to the interior of a home,
trustworthiness and general comfort level are of great concern when
hiring one. Often, the best way to find a good handyperson is through
referrals from friends and family.
Handyperson is a generic term used to describe a person with various
skills in home improvement. Some handypeople are able to perform
anything from minor to major home repairs, or even build an entire
house. The latter is the least common among handypeople, and usually
people expect services such as painting, minor plumbing, minor
electrical, furniture assembly and other kinds of home repair.
Furniture assemblers have grown in number ever since the furniture
industry has moved toward compact delivery and boxes which fit through
narrow hallways. Many skilled workers prefer larger jobs, and tend
toward working for bigger Contractors or building their own
Contracting company. The cost of hiring a handypersom will vary, but
most often the best price comes not from the preliminary estimates and
comparison, but from trying to find the best, honest handyperson
available, and hiring him or her. It's usually the most efficient to
search for someone local, since most handypeople willing to do a
smaller job would have to add extra fees for travel time and expenses.
In many parts of the world, there are professional "handyman"
companies - professional, for-profit, organizations that will perform
these types of smaller home or commercial projects. They often claim
the benefit of being properly insured and licensed (where applicable)
and to provide scheduling and customer service functions for their
staff of handypeople. They operate in a variety of ways; from some
that have full-time handypeople as direct employees to others that act
only as a matching service to sub-contracted, independent handypeople.

First of all Wriggling Cwispin let me thank you for confirming that I'm:

Competent, inventive/ingenious skillful, dexterous,
practical, clever, able and proficient.

There is nothing in that definition which excludes a competent
handyman from cleaning drains.

The definition you had to copy from Wikipedia...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handyman

...because you are not bright enough to work out for yourself what a
handyman does?

The phrase 'drain cleaning' does appear once, in a list of 80+ tasks
that a handyman 'may' carry out.

*But, of course, you may not be a competent handyman.

Perhaps you could explain to the class, without wriggling, how I have
(a) prospered through the worst recession in living memory and (b)

The average incompetent gives up with the Ikea flat-pack after 20
minutes of wondering which way up to turn the "instructions".

maintained my Fair Trader accreditation if I'm as incompetent as you and
numb-nuts claim?

Everyone is waiting Cwispin. *No wriggling now boy.

Aside from which, I think it should be explained that a self-employed
drain cleaner earns much, much more money than a teacher could possibly
even dream about. He is more likely to live in a 5 bedroom house in a
leafy lane with a brand new car (at his accountant's behest) parked in
the drive.
The thought of someone attempting to denigrate this occupation is
totally laughable, as it shows they have absolutely no grasp of reality.

Wriggling Cwispin is a typical teacher I'm afraid. Head totally up own
arse.

Excellent description of Wriggling Cwispin.

He actually needed the instructions to take an IKEA wardrobe apart!

Great thanks.
We did a lot of hill walking in the non tourist trap areas and never
saw a single soul. In the sun it was around 17C and I had just shorts
and a tee shirt on. The main roads were heaving with bikers from all
over Yorkshire heading for the coast as it was the first warm day of
the year.

I pulled up at a petrol station and all of the 95 RON unleaded had
gone as the bikers had used it all, so I had to fill up on Shell V
Power 99 RON at 1.47 a litre instead. Every chip shop, cafe and garage
was chock full of bikers, so that is why we go out during the week to
the touristy places.
