Portugal has the worst tradespeople on planet earth

Our boiler has been broken for nearly a year.

We have cold showers every day.

This is because whenever I think about hiring a Portuguese boiler engineer, I realise that I will have to wait in all day, only for them to never turn up — and probably lie to me.

I would rather keep having cold showers than deal with another stupid, lazy, dishonest, timewasting Portuguese tradesperson.
