While watching the BBC, I had Weakest Link and that pugnastic pig of a game show host on the Telly. She was asking what each player did for a living. This one chap said he was a plumber. She asked who he worked for.

Fast Responce. How much does he make? 40 Pounds and hour on weekdays.

How about Weekends? His responce? "Well if I have to come out to your Flat on a Sunday its 180 Pounds an hour...."

For Americans that translates to, (current as of today) $80.87 an hour to plunge your toilet. He said that was the most common thing he does.

Oh and if you have a plugged loo on a Sunday? You better take out a loan. It translates to $363.91 an hour on Sundays.

I figure either Saturdays are double weekdays (80P and hour/$161.71 per hour) or this guy charges the Sunday rate. He didn't say.

Anyone want to be a Plumber?

Yah but they dont have a full schedule. Though if they got calls constantly they would be rich.

Plumbers are massively in demand around here at least, Ive known some to get well over £100 a Job for just an Hour, Purely because people around here will pay that.

I think the phrase "crapload of money" is appropriate for a plumber.
