John Dal<p>My dad was a Heating Engineer, someone told me he was the best pipe fitter in the North East (England). He left some photos of his handiwork at a hospital somewhere.

No wonder people feel disaffected in the old working class communities. <br><a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/trade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trade</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/HeatingEngineer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HeatingEngineer</span></a></p>
