Was it shell that did the white crockery with the red and green "mosaic" pattern on? I think almost every house in the UK has owned at least one cup, plate or jar from the collection. There's a set of cups in a few of our depots and the tea/coffee/sugar are kept in a set of the jars at one...

I used to get what they call "dead calls". Phone rings and I answer it, line would stay silent unless I said hello and then a hang-up. Network originally said "probably an auto dialler" but when I explained that it would stay connected until I spoke, regardless of the duration they looked...

Now I think the rise in minimum wage is partly to blame for the problems first time buyers have (other reasons being the buy-to-let boom and the right to buy council properties). We now have more people who can afford to buy their own property. The gap between minimum wage and a decent...

The injuction was taken against an illegal strike by Prison Officers who have a "no strike" clause in their T&C's of employment. It's one of the rights they sign away when applying for the prison service. Same as the plod and the army.

Lets hope we never get a hungry Dan swimming around inside your system then eh? :wink:

Yup, Retaining ring is for that sole purpose. Don't tell my colleagues but my shower head can dangle in the bath even with the retaining ring :oops: New bathroom getting delivered tomorrow though so I'll whack the DCV on when I'm in the middle of a refit. The joys of buying a house...

Suspended floors and fronting onto the street is one of the easiest (and cheapest) jobs out there. You already have the correct depth you need under the floor (2'6"). Just need to get the pipe out through the wall at that depth (tunnel from inside). Hardest part of the whole job will be...

Thank you for your valued input Balenza :roll: FYI the area I work in has reached its LEL (level of economic leakage) which means that it is at the point where it is no longer cost effective, or of value to the customer, to do anything other than maintain things as they are. Fot the...

It is quite likely that the original pipes to a property of that age were lead, although there is nothing to say they haven't been renewed in the past. Did the plumber say they were any material specifically, or just "not copper". What does the pipe just below your inside stop tap look like...

And to certain situations fed by gravity from a tank that is supplied by a mains feed (leaking fitting causing waste or undue consumption) :wink:

You can actually lay the pipe much shallower, provided that it is ducted (to protect from damage) and insulated (to protect form frost). Weigh the cost of insulation and duct (4" soil pipe should do the job) against the effort involved in digging a 2'6" deep trench and make your decision...

Enough! I think you will find that they are - obviously backflow, contamination, waste or misuse of water can't happen after a stopatp in your little world. Not technically their problem, but their responsibility to ensure regulatory compliance and to enforce the regulations. Actually, the...

Another vote for the "get rid of the lead whilst you have the opportunity" idea. Don't want to have to rip up a nice new drive because of another leak do you?

You asked for it... :wink: Single check suitable for Fluid Category 2 (slight aesthetic changes to water quality due to change in temp or presence of substances or organisms causing change in taste/appearance) Double check valve suitable for Fluid Category 3 (represents a slight health...

The phrase "fag" when referring to public school is not actually a term relating to homosexuality. see here

Not quite right there... :wink: It's determined by the fluid category risk downstream. :D

Check valves are used to prevent backflow within a water pipe. Double check valves are used where the Water Regulations would require backflow prevention to "fluid category 3", for example a garden tap or basin/bath where the tap outlets are below the spillover level and may become...

d'oh, replied to wrong post :oops:
