Well, yes, the infamous "polish plumbers" are not plumbers at all. They're usually more qualified in some other way and completely unqualified as plumbers.

Yes, when the british press talks about the invasion of the "Polish plumbers", it's not really plumbers we're talking about. It's people who are handy and think they can make a money in the UK by posing as plumbers for a few weeks.
