I was a drain surgeon

If a spark is an electrician and a brickie is a bricklayer, Sean wonders, what鈥檚 a plumber?

"If a spark is an electrician, a chippie is a carpenter, and a brickie is a bricklayer,鈥� Sean says, 鈥渨hat鈥檚 the popular name for a plumber?"

鈥淗ey Sean!鈥� says Paddy the Da. 鈥淭wo of my sons are carpenters over here in Canada. They do the same work as joiners, and also scaffolding. And the name for a plumber is a Drain Surgeon.鈥�

鈥淧lumbers are called leakies!鈥� says Mickey in Galliagh.

With music from Elvis Presley, Neil Diamond, Roger Miller, and more.
