Oi. Leave my profession out of it please.

On a serious note, from a London perspective the economic migrants that cause all the over crowding, tend to be the crapper workers, think everyone else owes them something, think moving to London means they have to lose all their manners and then generally bugger off after a decade whinging that London is a hole when in reality they've been priced out aren't the ones from overseas but the English ones from the regions.

Not wrong. I got asked to go & look at a job - fitting a bathroom. The couple (1 teacher and 1 trainee teacher) had bought a "bargain" bath & wanted it fitting in their bathroom along the width. A quick measure of the bath (1800mm) and a quick measure of where they wanted it fitting (1500mm). Trying to explain to them "it wont fit" and why was met with blank stares. I offered to put it in at a slight slope for them but that they'd have to have it deeper at one end - still blank stares. I ended up drawing a picture showing that 1800 was bigger than 1500 as they "didn't know anything about plumbing". In the end, I thanked them for the call & told them I was too busy to do it so they'd be better off finding someone else.

I just hope they weren't maths teachers...

I hope you've got no ambitions that way either. To get a 1.8m bath into a 1.5m space, it would need to be just short of a metre higher at the one end than the other, more than a 'slight slope' and all the water would run out.

You two are being pickey and are both not giving the customer the service they want, you need to use some initiative that's all.

Saw 300mm off one end, easier to choose the non-tap end I'd suggest, and then simply seal the cut end of the bath to the wall.

Simples!

It's amazing what a really dedicated workman can squeeze into a bathroom.

Or upsell and build a extension so the bargain bath would fit.
