Looks like an historic small leak at the washer above has left a limescale deposit. If there is no sign now of moisture there I'd leave it alone.

Not necessarily. There are various adapters, offset bends and flexies available.

A relative of mine tried that once with a stump on his farm. The core of the stump shot out like a shell from a cannon, travelled a couple of hundred yards and left the bulk of the stump still in the ground. Obviously should have used a few more sticks.

That's where the fun could start, if pipe diameters/connections and alignments don't match. Good luck.

Could you improvise, using a G-clamp?

Don't know if it's relevant/significant, but the isolator(?) at the top of the flexi has an arrow which suggests the flexi flow direction is wrong.

Perhaps scratch on pipe, or nut over-tightened slightly, so pipe/olive distorted?

Maybe that big nut is just cross-threaded? That could account for its reluctance to move and the leak.

Search for 'cable escutcheons'.

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.

Screws would be fine. Just the weight of the worktop is almost enough to hold it in place !

I expect the stats reflect the fact that an Australian venomous spider or snake bite can result in death within an hour or so if untreated immediately, so many victims would go straight to the morgue instead of being hospitalised ! :giggle:

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.

Fourth pic in post #10 seems to show a lot of gunge in the left branch, restricting flow.
