Reassuring to know that your local Wickes provide customer toilets . . . . . always handy if you get caught short in-store!

My kitchen mixer tap has reached the point that if you turn on, hot or cold, too full/fast,. the mixer head flies off, and you have a fountain, cascading from the ceiling.
It should be higher on my list of priorities as it happened 4 times today!


At the end of the day on the other hand, it ...

At the end of the day, you just have to be grateful that you can do-it-yourself . . . . . . . . . and save £4 million (+vat)!

Does anyone know where I can purchase a monoboc kitchen tap, with washers

I don't think you can.
It's called progress . . . . they can charge shitloads for a new ceramic cartridge instead of 20p for a new washer!
A pair of new cartridges(hot & cold) usually costs as much as a complete new tap ...

Next time I'm in the pub with a bunch of mates and one of them tells me his beer tastes like piss . . . . . . . . . Hmmm.

He could be spot on!

I've often read that with this hobby, you learn something new every day and how true is that?
Today, I've learnt that there must be two 4 o'clocks in one day!!

Sorry . . . you lost me at 'leftovers'.
They're just a bigger last measure!!

Different colour each month?
. . . . . just trying to save an argument!

And yes, they are totally f'ing green.

and on a positive note . . . . . . . . . . . they've all got room to get their 5 series beamers in the garage!!

Wait till you're 69 & see how much 'useful shite' you've got then!
Sad thing is, when you do clockout, it will probably all end up in the skip.

Ditto . . . . . . . must be a certain mindset.
I too have a large double garage and workshop stuffed full of crap that I can't bring myself to chuck out 'in case it comes in handy' - and it's funny how, when you've got a bit of space, you end up babysitting your mates' crap as well!
