Bugger me - I married into the area but sounds like a night out in Wigton to me. Still can't understand a word after 7 years.

I wish - typing this whilst holding 5 week old baby - ahhh. My shift ends after midnight when he wakes for next feed. Then being this far north it has to be single malt :wink:

Looks like self made trap is the best way to go. I presume the male/female elbow has a compression fitting and easy to get hold of from usual outlets? Next job after this will be the new toilet waste into old sewage pipes and septic tank - but thats another day. Thanks Craig

I have in fact been staring at waste + bits and pieces to see how I can create my own waste with few angle pieces and pipes + plenty of blue tack. :D Craig

I presume you mean futher along the waste - I had thought about that, but unfortunately after I had Boxed all piping in, plasterboarded, plastered, tiled, etc. Hmm should have thought about this earlier. :oops: Thanks for reply Craig

Just about to fit roll top bath which sits on wooden plinth. Bath will sit on tiled floor and therefore don't want to cut hole in floor. Have tried shallow bath waste but there is insufficient space between waste and plinth to fit. Has to sit almost 90 degrees so not ideal. Are bottle traps...

Thanks again for advise :D
