    Incoming watermain

    If you're converting to copper, there are brass fittings that will do the job. I'm sure yorkshire do one . :)

    Not enough water pressure for MegaFlow?

    Around 20 l/min should suffice, and from 2 - 3 bar pressure too. Increasing the size of the mains to the megaflo would help too.

    Guess the common denominator.

    True :)

    Guess the common denominator.

    The whole point of posting various topics for people to rant / discuss / dismiss / whatever, is to garner opinion. Whether it is sourced from the Daily Mail, Sun, Daily Mirror, is really of no consequence. I would imagine that the daily papers all print the stories at some stage in the week, and...

    reciprecation saw

    Only if the pipe has enough room behind it, and isn't tight to the wall, to allow the blade to move forwards and back, or else you will bend blades up, and perhaps damage the saw. You also need a steady grip, to achieve a clean cut. :)

    25mm MDPE in a 28mm compression fitting

    There's a McVeighs in Herts that may be able help you, or BSS. Other than that you may have to buy a new meter, complete with couplings.

    Water Tap Fitting for MDPE pipework

    I would imagine though, that the other end of the fitting is still live, so yes, you could just cut it and let the pipe snake everywhere showering your veggy patch, and you probably, while you attempt to replace the fitting. Or you could, if you have the necessary fittings and know how, do it...

    1 inch compression nut

    hang on, are you talking about MDPE fittings, or converting from MDPE to copper / plastic ? If it's for either, then there are MDPE fittings that are available for this purpose.

    Another one off the pitch

    I think you'll find that he hasn't officially said a word yet, nor will he until his missus leaves him (If she does of course, money has a habit of smoothing over the cracks!!), or makes him apologise publicly before leaving him :)

    So we can now say it was a Man U player.

    Buckets of money + lots of spare time + lots of pretty women throwing themselves at you + being a bloke = TROUBLE!! He's been busted, he will now pay his penance (his wife has already stopped wearing the wedding ring), it's what happens if you mess around, but it won't stop. A large percentage...

    Royal Wedding

    I only live a couple of miles from her 'old' home, but luckily had the day off so didn't need to drive through the melee in her home village. Still, a Royal wedding is good for the economy in the short term so more power to them. I was trying to spot the local shopkeeper who got an invite, as I...

    LOW WATER PRESSURE PROBLEM

    Did the plumber shut the water off at the mains? If so, maybe the stopcock hasn't been fully opened, or there is an issue with the stopcock. Give the plumber a call to see if he or she can rectify the problem :)

    Ancient Stopcock not stopping flow

    Your best bet is to dig up, freeze and replace with new. The seat in the body of the stopcock may be worn, which means you will need to reseat it, and by that time you may as well bite the bullet and replace it. If you don't feel confident, find someone that is. Not the answer you may have been...

    drain cleaner

    Be VERY careful with Knockout, it's frikkin lethal. If it comes into contact with a mass of organic material in a drain or basin, i.e. hair, etc., it will fizz up and spit quicker than you can get your hand out of the way, and as GB has pointed out, it will eat through your clothes and have a...

    shower tray measurements

    Without seeing pics it's a bit difficult to help, but I would imagine the screen was bespoke, cut to fit. You can buy these, but they cost a bit. Scour the net.
