Waste Pipe Connection at Angle

Hello,

Our plumber recently replaced a leaking toilet waste pipe for us. Lucky guy. He fitted a new pipe going from the toilet, straight through the wall and into a 90 degree push fit bend outside. The pipe from the toilet into the wall is at 90 degrees, but the external bend is fitted at an angle to this, so not quite 90 degrees. My question is whether this wonky connection is ok? Aesthetically, I’m not too bothered but as it’s a waste pipe, I’m a little concerned the connection’s seal might be compromised. Should I be?

Hopefully my pictures will make more sense than I do. You can see the lip of the bend is behind the bricks on the right, but poking out from the bricks on the left.

Many thanks in advance.

Andy

Looks ok to me and should be fine, there is a bit of play in the sockets. If not, you'll soon see a leak.
 
Thanks for the swift reply, Denso13. I knew there was a bit of play but wasn't sure if this was too much. I'll keep an eye on it and hope for the best. Cheers!

Looks ok to me, sometimes the angles arent so apparent when you're on top of the job, only when you stand back its noticeable. Don't see as it will compromise anything personally. Those bends are 92.5°, so not a true 90, might make a bit of difference if it's straight onto the pan outlet.
