Plundering Plumbers!

There are plumbers out there who have a secret aspect to their lives. Like Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde they have a secret formula that changes their behaviour and character, from the ordinary to the sinister.

What??? Do I hear you ask is that mystery potion? It is not actually a formula or a potion; it is a combination of words , like a witches spell, that causes the unwholesome transformation.

Do I hear you ask what are those evil magic words? These, my friends, are words that should not be mentioned in the presence of plumbers, I warn you, heed me; hex hex keep thou away - return to hell oh Satan!!!

Do NOT mention the words "Wood Pellet Boiler" to a plumber, because if you do - the price of the job immediately doubles, trebles, quadruples or even multiplies by 10 or more. That person you thought you knew, turns into a green eyed monster, and wants to take over the world, or at least a lot of your money.

Now if you said "will you install a boiler" to that same plumber, he/she would smile and give a fairly standard price, which could be anything from about €150 to €350. By adding just ONE word, you issue forth the Magic Spell that changes EVERYTHING.

By mentioning "Wood Pellet" the price goes from €150 up to as much as €1000!!!

WARNING: If you talk to a plumber about the installation of a Wood Pellet Boiler, be absolutly sure NOT to mention "Wood Pellet", use only the word BOILER on its own.
