I think what i'll shall do, is continue driving my black cab around central london' and maybe give out some cards etc, to my fairs. thanks for all the replies Lads & Lasses. Gotta rush, need to count my takings from last night.

So what's wrong with the word "Lads" as it become politically incorrect to use the word nowaday's, as the trade sunk to the lower depths of the nanny state, or are you a female, and consider it a sexist post, next someone will be telling me that it's a pre-requisite that i have to wear a pink...

I really appreciate your honest replies lads, today (friday) i picked up a copy of the london YP, it's got so big now, you need two hands to pick the thing up. I also noticed in my local newspaper, that they are still advertising for trainee plumbers at these so called, 6 week city and guilds...

Just for arguments sake, how do you intend to open the shower screen with the cistern in the way, i take it that it is hinged? or does it clear it enough?

youv'e fitted a dual flush syphon by the sound of it, short discharge for number 1, full discarge for number two's, the latter can be done by. holding the lever down a little longer, this will give you the full 9 litres. PS: Are you sure it's not a syphonic suite? try to post a picture...
