I've always known it as a Leaky. My Dad had a Plumber that worked for him many years ago. I only knew him a leaky....he answered to it.

Its an odd one this the times ive been onsite and even when the electrical and mechanical are run by the same firm you think they'l lend you a set of steps for 5 mins !!!
As for what we should be called im sure it has no bearing on many of things ive had shouted at me hahaha

we always pinch the spark's lovely yellow steps when they go on break etc lol, they are also very handy for ties, rod, clipping to their trays etc. (although the cables always seem to be in our way!!)
Haha you work on same sites as me lol
I 100% agree and have you ever noticed how clean they always are. You never see a spark with dirty hands lol

We should start to call them PERSONAL DRAINERS
you out ask to borrow them. I just take them even if the sparks are still on them.

Bunch of rossers, - I asked on sparks forum!
Simply.....Plumbers.
The word speaks for itself.
Most other trades have names that are / were / remain derogatory to their trades and ability to work and perform as tradesmen ( or tradespersons to be politically correct )
Unfortunately..in the general consensus, plumbers are highly skilled and not deserved of rudimentary, demeaning or belittling comments about us and our trade.
If this was the case, a universal term would be commonly used and would had been used for many hundreds, if not thousands of years.
We might be as proud of showing the world our bum crack as any aspiring super model showing her bikini bridge.
You don't hear of a carpenters, electrician or painters crack...do you?
It comes down to the fact that we are plumbers - and every other trade is jealous.
They are all 'closet plumbers'
