Not really, you can probably get 50mm PE pipe moled, or maybe even plough in a 63mm pipe to supply the farm and tee off this. I was only thinking about the increased flow from a point of view that the new build will have much higher demands (and capability) than the old farmhouse with a lead...

You will probably find that the flow off the AC pipe will be pretty crap anyway, they aren't the most hydraulically effective pipes in the world. The increased flow may also lead to scouring of the pipe which will discolour the water (and no amount of flushing will stop this, it just worsens)...

No. It's called stu...! :lol:

Same here. Sometimes whole topics get locked just because of one or two idiotic comments.

Then they aren't free range chickens... Won't be doing that. I didn't vote the last d*ckhead in either.

Defra are in deep sh*t. The fact that they have been fined for breaches of biosecurity at the labs that are being blamed for the source of the current FMD cases means that if it all goes like last time, someone is going to be hitting them with a bill.

A wise and informed opinion. Ever been on a farm? That "Meatrix" stuff is from the US. Most dairy farms I go on produce milk with little sign of a cow (well no cow muck anyway, the parlours are spotless). Any of the beef farms I go on and the stock is out in fields, not in sheds. The few...

We insist on minimum 25mm for new/replacement supplies. Most water co's charge the same for 25mm or 32mm connections. If your water co has a lead replacement scheme then they may replace the pipe in the street free of charge.

That'd be the insulation. Very rarely see them still in, but never come across a frozen meter...

All of the information we have about him comes from the media, and that great oxymoron "American intelligence" so it's hard to tell what he really is about. Is Iran really supplying arms to militants/insurgents, or is it just coming from factions within Iran? I seem to recall we had trouble...

Not at all Tony, I made a double post, and then screwed up editing my first one so went to bed. All I said was that running taps to sample is standard practice across the board. The Water Co wants to sample the water they are supplying to the property, not the stuff that is sat in the...

He was quoting me... :idea:

Then told to get on their bikes...
