Meanwhile if you really want to be vain get a personalised number plate for your van. :yikes:

What's wrong with a personalised plate on your van?

I'm certainly not vain & it refers to my Trade as I class myself as a tradesman at tiling.
T6 TYL.

This word just gets on my nerves , it is used to death now ,you never heard of it years ago relating to tradesmen , doctors, teachers,judges, footballers were all professional , we were tradesmen and in my eyes still are !!:mad2: to me it all go's along with this wearing of fancy clothes for work, and the talking a good -job boys, .
i'AM not a professional ,i'am a tradesman, and i practice a trade, not a profession , LOL and screed is different from SLC to !!!!!! ffs

I think until recentish years you would be the tradesmen who do it full time and are skilled. And it was taken for granted if you advertised yourself as a tradesmen, you had done said training and had said experience.

Though recent years there are guys who have done their nans plastering, got on vistaprint, advertised themselves as a plasterer.
And so the old normal tradesmen, now have to say they're professional tradesmen, to denote they're not that other type of guy. As it'd be even more cheeky for that other type of guy to say they're professional too.

.... perhaps?

my brother used to be a window cleaner, when anyone asked him what he did for a living, he would say he's a 'vision technician'.....:lol:
