Absolutely, but if you want it fixed and you're standing beside it...
Come to think of it, that would be a great prank to play on a mate with UFH, if you wanted to confuse them...

Text is a pita - I completely agree with you on that one Nick, and something I too personally dislike even from alternate trades dealing with myself, but it is alas the shitty modern way that people feel is relevant form of communication.
Under the additional information, it seems very strange the plumber got cold feet on you at the 11th hour - but to be honest, nothing surprises me these days and is why I ask for part payment up front for larger jobs and full payment on completion in my T&C's with any client, as cash flow is key to the survival of any business and having to chase idiots for payments is time wasting and not acceptable imho. If they do not want to do it - fine, there is a lot more out there that is waiting.
Not directed at you here - but far too many people these days believe they can get work knowing all to well they have no intention of paying, and anything one can can do to mitigate this is to be respected personally. Too many people owing can mean your business is at risk or you carry too much debt and constantly chasing the rabbit to clear it up which is a hidden cost.
Had the same with BT... 2 hours to thrash out a deal. Couple of questions I asked her I knew there was a blag on her behalf.
Overall it looked an OK deal. She'd ring me next day. No call... EE on new customer deal and the usual end of contract Sky blag... and all is well.
This year's Sky had doubled for renewal but it went down to 75% of the new price if signed now.
Quick Blag and it's down 10% of before.

Swop your heating pipes yourself,, then send the plumber an invoice for your time , Don`t forget the emergency callout fee 
Ahhhh I know them well, they always turn up on fencing jobs right a bait time and bore you to death that they have done miles more fencing than you and they did it all with a hammer
They then claim how busy they are but turn up everyday you work there

Prince Harry.
I had a phone call today asking about caravan storage, I apologetically explained that we were currently full, he cut me off mid sentence to shout “you fooking d!ckhead!”
I put the phone down, I hope such a nice man finds somewhere for his caravan!
Then 10 minutes later I’m topping a hedge and get a torrent of abuse and caught between arguing neighbours!
Sod them all

Looking for somewhere to park my caravan so I rang one place today-fooking d!ickhead didn't have any spaces left!
I need somewhere quick as my ad in the local public toilets offering sexual services has generated a great response.
So difficult to set up in business these days.

His number came up, posted a nice advert for a very nice expensive car that’s advertised for a quick sale for less than half the price with his number and contact name Rich Head. Hope he gets plenty of calls

Come our exhibition at the NEC, it's free just register online and bring your ticket.
But if you want you car back it's £16 to get out of the carpark.
I wouldn't have begrudged paying for entry, but why can't they just be honest about it up front.
Nothing about paying that much for parking when you book.

Covid booster vaccination, just got my letter to make an appointment. Seems like the original vaccination centres of six months ago have disappeared and am faced with a 60-80 mile round trip.
