> This article doesn't touch much about why plumbing is hard. I'm from Poland so I'm not only IT but also a plumber ;)

I'm guessing that is a reference to Omid Djalili sketches about Polish plumbers:

It's a stereotype across the whole Europe, even Poland takes advantage of it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_plumber#/media/File:Pol...

Thanks for sharing. This was exactly what I was referring to. Also youtube links from the UK are nice, shame you are out of EU for the time being :)))

Anyway - I just added a valve regulation to our kitchen floor heating this weekend, so it was not only joking :)

I also found the UK vids amusing (am not a Pole) -- kind of how to make fun of a stereotype in a positive way.
