Anybody know this plumber?
Seems like Burnley has two heroes called James Anderson.

(Hope the plumber doesn't support Arsenal though)

Re: Anybody know this plumber?
I read about this bloke a while ago and saw this story yesterday - bit strange that he's going into debt with it but all credit to him helping those who need it

Re: Anybody know this plumber?
I was wondering if I should start a thread after seeing this:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-49729211" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It was an enormous relief to see something, anything, on the BBC about Burnley that was actually good.

Re: Anybody know this plumber?
Yes, attended a charity event to raise money to kit out his van with new tools so he could continue to carry on helping the vulnerable and needing.
Not sure if he had been broken into and his tools were robbed, or they'd just come to the end of their life.
Anyway read and saw what work he was doing, so was more than happy to contribute.
He does some great work, and if there were more people like him about, the world would be a better place.
Hope he gets some help and support in his hour of need if he ever needs it.

Re: Anybody know this plumber?
It is a really good news story and what a decent man. It wouldn’t surprise me if he was robbed as some delinquents broke into and vandalised our local hospice charity shop just recently.

Must be all lies then...
Re: Anybody know this plumber?
Shame he won't be able to read about himself, being a scouser he'll burn the paper, won't he?
Re: Anybody know this plumber?
Absolutely smashed his £4,000 target, now up over 21k.

There's also a " Gofundme " page, and across the three, there's been over £69,000 raised .....thatdberight wrote:£50k across the justgiving and the crowdfunder platforms. Plus I'm sure others direct and various 'in kind' offers I've seen... well done him...
I hope this will enable his good work to continue, as well as provide a decent standard of living for him and his family ... he's been given a free trip to London, with a show and accommodation by ITV's " This morning " programme, as well ...
Re: Anybody know this plumber?
I employed him once, to do our bathroom. Was an absolute cowboy. I sincerely hope he's doing good things for people in his community, but on the evidence of my eyes I'd be keeping a careful eye on him.

He was on the news over here in Vancouver. Good man! Put Burnley on the map for the right reasons. I wish him all the best.
Re: Anybody know this plumber?
Sounds a really decent bloke and he's in the news again

I'd always be careful on who to ring to get a bathroom fit.
A heating engineer might do 3 a year max
A plumber might only do 6 a year
When you want a bathroom fit, get a specialist bathroom fitter that fits them and only them regularly.
Bathrooms are tricky, and can easily look a bit poor if not installed by an expert who has an eye for detail.
Re: Anybody know this plumber?
Was already a thread on this with some articles posted, can they be merged?
