Oh FFS

 

[Newboy]

Are the B&Q tips written by JD?

 

[JohnD]

Obviously not, because I have never suggested putting PTFE on compression threads.

Perhaps you have been misled by my stalker.

As you see, I have never suggested putting PTFE on compression threads.

So post #4 is that thread isn't you suggesting that it's a good idea then?

 

[JohnD]

Why have you developed this untrue fantasy?

 

[JBR]

For this, and various other reasons, I have come to the conclusion that JD is losing his reason - if he ever had any.

You give yourself more credit than your bullshyte is worth.
