Here's my favourite, from Machinery Handbook of Worlds threads 1941 I present the Manchester Plumbers thread.



Bear in mind that Manchester, England,  at this time would have been a small city and the plumber to population ratio must have been very small but still enough for them to have thier own standard and to get it in print  :scratch:

Well, I learn something new every day! I've lived in the suburbs to the south of Manchester all my life, and never knew that before.
Actually, at around 400,000, the population of Manchester today is only about half what it was in 1941. But the city proper is relatively small in area, and slum clearance probably accounts for the decrease, and (in part, at least) for the great increase in size and population of the surrounding conurbation.
