Dear Plumbing Skills,

Could you please clarify something that has been causing me quite a bit of distress lately?

I have just recently viewed your advert in my local free paper “The Campaign”, your advert which is in the recruitment section poses a very intriguing question; it says simply, “Are you a plumber?”

My question is thus; how would I know?

My parents have always said I should apply for factory work and this is something I’d always assumed I’d do as I’ve never really had any skills that stood out which I could earn a living from, but your question got me thinking, if I was a plumber then maybe I could have a different future than the one my parents have planned for me.

What characteristics should I look out for? I mean, is it like the psychic abilities my Aunt Maggie developed a couple of years ago? She never knew she was a psychic either, her powers just came overnight along with a diagnosis of diabetes.

Can I expect the same thing to happen to me if in fact I am a plumber?

Please let me know what to look out for as your advert really struck a chord with me and I would like to know one way or the other as soon as possible.

Looking forward to your response,

Sincerely

Dean Griffiths.
