The Unwhispered Git Procession

Plumbers number six finally turned up this morning.
They were here for three hours putting up scaffolding. I decided I needed to get a handful of Christmas cards out and asked them if I'd be OK to leave for half an hour.
"No," they said. "Stay here. We'll need to test things."

Arse.
They got on our roof, shoved rods down our waste pipe, removed a blockage, then came and told me to turn all our water-dependent items. I did, and they walked out onto the balcony, while I was in the kitchen.

Tip 1: If you're going to take the piss out of someone, make sure there'a more than a kitchen window between you.

"Durrr, I dunno," called one plumbing-git to his compatriots on the scaffolding. "One hand don't know what the other's doin' here..."
"Yes!" I called through the window. "It really does, you know. Not our fault you tested the wrong pipe the first time round!"
He didn't react. I went out of the front door.
"Right. Seems to be working now."
"Make sure, while we're here," he said.
"Sure as I can be right now," I countered. "If it's not right later, I'll have no compunction in calling you back."

Now, it's important at this point to understand that this whole scaffolding malarkey isn't just because of us - the next door neighbour reported to our second private plumber that they were having issues too. So when Mr One-Hand folded his arms and smirked at me, and said
"See...no-one else has had problems, have they mate?" I rather took exception to his tone, which made out that I was making this whole palaver up.
"Yes," I said coldly. "Next door's been having problems too."
"We just asked her!" he roared, triumphantly. "Says she's had no problems at all!"
"Not what she told my second plumber," I said, shrugging.
He waved a dismissive hand at me.
"Whatever mate, long as you're happy..." he said. I buggered off to go and post my cards. When I came back, the Loud Git and his quieter sub-gits had taken down the scaffolding it had taken them three hours to put up and sodded off.

Any Disappearing today?
Not really, no. Was up late last night, and have been working all day. Going away to snore now...Do not disturb, for I am the Git-Downslapper.
