I'd just poke a bit of mortar into the external part. Maybe colour the mortar with kids' water-colour paint to match the brick colour?

Use a Phillips screwdriver to rotate the threaded white plastic rod of the fill valve clockwise to raise the blue float.

Isn't the Welsh pass also usable in England?

I wouldn't. I'd just scrunch up some wire mesh to fill a gap.

Your wife's pass will obviously be useful.
