Over more than twenty years working as a plumber, Nick has shared
thousands of mugs of tea with hundreds of fascinating people. Here
he gives his plumber’s-eye view of society in a series of
entertaining, amusing and outrageous beneath-the-kitchen-sink
dramas. While fixing pipes, Nick was also looking for characters to
write about. In his toolbox, in addition to spanners, he had a
notebook, which wasn’t just for jotting down measurements. And
‘the secret plumber’ has some great stories to tell, about
people who might just be your friends, family or neighbours.
There’s the frankly terrifying high-court judge, whose wife calls
the shots; the divorcing woman, using him to help her build a
rather bizarre botox business; and all the wonderful people he
meets when his number is posted on Grindr as an LGBTQ+-friendly
plumber. This book is Tales of the Unexpected – in overalls. It
shows London as it really is: one of the most diverse places on the
planet, ranging from downright dangerous to preposterously posh. To
Nick, London is a melting pot, filled with an extraordinary variety
of fascinating people, who have one thing in common – they all
need a plumber!
