France’s top plumber is… English

I know tons of good (Polish, Russian, Czech, Croatian......) plumbers in Paris so I can't say I was surprised to read this in the great blog Frogsmoke.

"The French won’t like it when they find out that the plumber they’ve just named as the best in their country is from Manchester, UK.

President Nicolas Sarkozy will present the prestigious title Meilleur Apprenti de France - the Best Apprentice in France - to Oliver Watson, oblivious to the fact he doesn’t even live in France. Oliver, aged 26, beat 6,000 French plumbers to the honour.

He said: “They don’t know I’m English yet because all they have is my name, so when I’m shaking hands with Sarkozy I’m going to say: `I’m an English lad, you know’.“

After claiming France’s top plumbing honour, Oliver has moved back to Manchester."
