Making assumptions based on the original post (and not wishing to cast aspersions) I believe "the plan" was to only replace the bits of lead pipe that the customer could see - as opposed to all of it which from the OP seems to be the job that was requested. Although I may be wrong because...

I'd have thought physical abuse would be worse than name calling? sticcks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me Yes, calling somebody's anonymous internet pseudonym is obviously "Defamation of character, libel and slander...":roll: Slander being a harmful statement in...

Unless the fault is caused by poor maintenance... :wink:

What's the point in replacing some of the lead but leaving the most problematic bit underground? I imagine that the shop is getting a refit? That means that any future problems with the underground supply are going to cause disruption. Not being a plumber, but seeing at least one...

People are generally advised of how to sort problems or at least find the cause of said problem if it is something that could be tackled by a DIY'er. Anything that: a) legally can't be done by a DIY'er; or b) would require specialist advice (building control/planning) is referred to...

If a 14 yr old damaged my car I'd get a grip of him and wait until the Police arrived, it's called a citizens arrest and it is permissible to use reasonable force in doing so. I'd like to say taht I'd give him a hiding but then it is me who would end up with a criminal record and the yob that...

If the police responded (or were able to respond) to incidents of anti-social behaviour in a timely manner rather than spending hours filling out paperwork and arrest statements then he wouldn't have had to intervene.

I must admit I use mine when driving down narrow country lanes. They give me extra illumination immediately in front of me, whilst still being able to see the light splash of an oncoming vehicle round a bend. I only ever use them when it is properly dark and I'm in rural lanes though, not...

I take it you mean Hendrix? I'd hardly call dying of a drug overdose clever...?

Are you sure about not needing a CBT? I thought it was a requirement for everybody riding on "L"'s with a car licence...?

Those drain cocks fit into a "tee".

I've got a set of left handed spanners and screwdrivers you can buy. L/H stanley knife blades too £10 a pack :wink:

Maybe he folded the back seat down to spread the weight evenly over a larger surface area :roll: (I'm sure it works I read it on t'internet... :wink: )

The bucket is cheaper and probably more reliable than the saniflow... plus it will be a lot easier to maintain.

We all know that, that was the point of the post. Although the pipe can actually be installed in the position it is in provided it is installed in a compliant way (the merits of which we were discussing) We've already seen the problem with getting something done "on the side", hence picture...
