My plumber, sadly no longer with us, fitted them to everything that held water in my bungalow! He even replaced the few existing ones I did have.

Wood av tripped if it were avvin problems wiv all that currunt. Tripped after 10 minnits but ran ok after that. So eye put me frozen stuff int me fridge. That triggurd me washer to start cryin which set edgar oft anorl. Eye fink they int over the loss ov the furst frezza. Went ter wuk.

Had to back fill my house water system as it had low pressure cause the tank isnt raised up, its
fine for ages then if you have the bath running & the kitchen tap running the pressure goes down
slowly. Bath panel off tis a heavy feckn thing too, join the hot & cold water feeds together then
back fill the hot pipes with cold & then open the taps one at a time.
I will need to fit a hot water pump into the thing feckn plumbers are w@nkers no isolating valves
at the tank it was the only part I didnt fit
Couple of cans of pipe freeze it will be then fit a pump & isolators. Now I need to look into pumps.pfff

Will you be using gate valves like wot our plumberer fitted either side of pump? Much easier to use when changin the pump.

Anyone ever worked on road works traffic management…had an exchange with a reet jobsworth cnut as he wouldn’t allow my Waitrose delivery through phooking cockwomble.

I hope the van driver just turned the ignition off, got out, locked the door and walked off saying, "I'm just calling the plods as you is causin an obstruction to the free movement of traffic!"

Nope, I had to drive a mile up the road to ascertain why access was denied when the road block was access residents only. The he said “you have to ask my permission” to access the road and the tarmac process wasn’t going to stop for my shopping.

@JohnM70 has been known to deal with that so of thing ...

I use "ball valves" most gate valves dont seal as well.
I have isolation valves all over the place but will be fitting more later.

@doriz has a jobsworth dicking traffic about and his provisions have been delayed ...

Tarmac gangs are notorious for being twonks. If it had been classified as resident access only then they can’t really stop any resident carrying out their business. This includes deliveries or collections.

Whilst it would be polite to ask, it’s not a show-stopper and you do have to let the black stuff go off a bit or it makes a mess.

What delivery was it?
