hi all, have just heard a rumour, that if your property is pre 1910, then you are not responsible for any of the water supply to your property and its all the water companys. is this true or just an urban myth? icon_eek.gif

cheers for that, its worth a check i suppose, as i can not find my external stop cock, got the one under my sink but can not find the one outside, have spoken to the water company they have no record of one as they say i am not on a meter they don't have a record. they say i may have to pay to get a stop cock put in if they can not find it icon_eek.gif [/quote]

just tell the water board you have that you have an uncontrolled leak and they will find it

and If that fails ask em to be metered THEN they will find it

Yeah and I save my best Chaucerian lines for Agile. icon_biggrin.gif

BTW I'm sure I saw Bryon and Yeats listed in the ingredients of my favourite muesli. icon_wink.gif

Do you know what moves me to tears cm? Well, the other day I was reversing the Softusmobile (which was stacked to the hilt with all my worldly tools in order to put up a shelf or summat, so I had to use just wing mirrors), when a front tyre caught a kerb and jerked the steering wheel.

Not normally a problem, but my hand was moving downwards towards my lap in the correct Highway Code motion, so when the wheel jerked I lost my grip, and my fist plummeted right into my crown jewels.

There's no pain like it.
