  1. I think you can say as one word,ballcock.Yep, it worked.
  2. I've had copper pipe develop pinholes a few times.It's all down to impurities in the material and also the local water.These things are cheaply mass produced in the far east.Glad it was resolved,Brian.
  3. A lot better than a daily mirror on a rusty nail.😉
  4. I thought it sounded like a flexi tap connector,luckily it had a ballofix valve under it.Makes fitting baths a lot easier but they do fail sometimes.
  5. My blank ,blank ,blank is in working order Kalos.It's called a valve nowdays.I've never changed the terminology either.😉
  6. Quite a cheapo day out,£10.60 return on the boat and £12 return cable car,that's for 2 of us.2 chicken wraps and chips in Nandos was dearer at £24.
  7. Back in my "white van man" plumbing days I was elite on the boat in the last pic.The Captain never invited me for cocktails though.
  8. Morning all,we're taking our 3 year old grandaughter to the new Barking riverside station this morning.From there the Thames Clipper to the O2,1 hr softplay in the O2 and a return cable car across the Thames to the Excel.Returning on the Thames Clipper.A new experience for us also and being linked to TFL we get 50% with our freedom passes.The grandaughter is free.I remember Barking riverside when I used to play there when I was a kid.It was wasteland dotted with air raid shelters,abandoned gun emplacements and a derelict power station where we used to climb up the coal conveyor belts.Not very H&S now,lol.Great fun on the beaches of the Thames.
  9. You should have gone again ,it'd be a Harrison double.
  10. Now that looks good.I was thinking on the same lines as Indi.Essex supermarkets are quite diverse nowdays,I'll start looking😊.
  11. Obviously you've got duel nationality now.Got to give your area a try🙂
  12. Anything like Welshcakes?When we went to Cardiff last year there was a queue for them stretching outside.Bought a few but found them a bit soft, and sweet.Now,my OHs bread pud is another story,lovely jubbly.
  13. If there's carrots on the menu you must be happy surely😉
