You have missed off ptfe tape - how dare you!

Any self respecting 'pseudo-plumber' can fix anything with a few rolls of this!

When I am called out to a leak I just smother everything in boss-white, and mummify the pipework with ptfe tape. Job done - £100 please!!!

did you copy and paste this from some where ? or actually sit and write all this out lol

 

[Dotty]

Knowing DK he sat and wrote it out. Handy though, I just copied it to answer my bosses question about essential van stock.

No doubt I'll be ignored again!

 

[dontknowitall]

I typed it - in an earlier job I turned into a secretary (don't ask how!) I ended up typing at 90wpm which was faster than most women and I still couldn't get a secretarial temping job with that speed.

I'm not such an anorak that I took my laptop out to the van though, in case you were all wondering.



And where's me bloomin' Thank You from the OP for all the time and trouble?

 

[Avatar]

Oh, most of the posters on here are like that - they are all 'can you help me pretty please?'

When you do they are off like a rat out of an aquaduct - poof!!

Not a hint of a thanks . . .

 

[PlumbBobBob]

especially if they don't like what we are saying.

 

[Centralheatking]

I am copying those lists and then make them standard for our van stock

+ diesel card
