I do. When it's the right thing to use.

So why do you even carry it if it's no good?

No, your `sink` is probably a wash basin in your bathroom. If you bolt your washbasin correctly to the wall then you will be fine. (Unknown to most plumbers the pedestal is there to hide unsightly pipes & not to support the wash basin)...

Some basins have pathetic fixings (2 screw holes at he edge of the ceramic) that hold against the wall and nothing else
I use silicone personally..but thats just my preference

some tosh

Unknown to most RGIs, some basins don't have bolt holes but do have pedestals.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone here actually hide any pipe work in the pedestal?

Only the trap and part of the waste pipe - you can't realistically hide the tap hot/cold supplies in the pedestal, but by careful placing you can of course limit how much they're in yer face.
