So being able to buy a private plate to make your vehicle distinctive means fhat?

Wow is all I can say to that. Good plumbers earn a bloody fortune, and so they should imo

Who wants a bodging plumber, there are plenty of them around too

It’s a skill that should be rewarded and if they choose to spend a few quid on personalised plates what’s the problem?

You do realise I’m a plumber? (I have had my own business for over 20 years)

No one wants a bodging plumber i agree but not sure what that has to do with number plates. The best plumber I have ever met and worked with drove a basic van without a personal plate.
The most unreliable plumber i worked With had a flash sign written van with personal plate.

It’s about giving out the right impression to a customer or potential one.

One customer told me a tradesman pulled up on her driveway in a fancy van with personal plate, she told me he looked like a flash bastard before he rang the bell.
She said he was flash, cocky and expensive.

I think a clean and modern van gives a good impression, along with the tradesperson being good at their job, honest and reliable.

All true but stating plumbers with personalised plates are earning too much or over charging is a bit of a sweeping statement :smile:

My plumber has one and is the best of 5 or 6 I have had over the years. Not the cheapest but if I have a problem in the winter he sorts it within a day or so, so we are never without heating for long. He moved other jobs when our boiler developed a fault early this winter to get to us as he is always very booked up. I had one who had serviced the boiler a week before that went wrong only to tell me that he was working on a big job in London and couldn’t come for a month and recommended a complete cowboy who caused more problems than he solved! We were a couple of weeks without heating :angry:

I am always happy to pay a sensible amount if the service is good and efficient. I don’t barter.

Sussex, by the sea
I just saw this . . . Elsewhere. It's great.

I'm sure someone will be along in a minute to complain about benefit scroungers and tax payers money funding it.
