Does it exist? what would it be called.
I have the hot tap unused but I don't wish to attach the dishwasher to it.

What do you mean 'a device'? You simply plumb them in using those self-cutting valve chappies. Couldn't be easier*.Quote:

Just get a plumber in Fash. I have seen so many wretches cowering under the withering stare of their irate wives, babbling "Thought I'd have a go myself.Thought it wouldn't be too difficult."
YOU!! - what, on your own without a proper man like myself guiding you! - I don't believe it b. You wouldn't have the physical strength to get the thing out of its box.Quote:

Yes, but I die a little inside whenever a tradesman asks if he can use my lavatory. I know that the working classes - being little better than chimps - can't be trusted to behave hygienically when performing their bodily functions and half expect to go in there afterwards to find excrement smeared all over the walls.Quote:

Shítting really is a great leveller, isn't it.
You see, I'd have hated that. I'd have had to say yes out of conditioned politeness, but I'd never have been able to forgive him.Quote:

Anyway, if his flush had broken why didn't he just use buckets of water to flush?
I must admit, so would I. And a good point about the buckets.Quote:

I suppose you do now have a moral advantage over him forevermore, but that's the only upside I can see from the whole ghastly business.Quote:

You should have said something to the effect of 'You can **** in my paddling pool anytime' by way of a joke.Quote:

This whole sordid tale is classic Monty in that it bears little scrutiny before suspicions of its veracity arise.Quote:

Even I don't need a plumber for this scenario, when all that's required is a coat hanger, pair of pliers, a rubber glove, a bit of patience and a strong stomach.Quote:

As is the Dutch Irish mongrel chap in the motor trade who likes to present himself as being in some way superior to the ordinary man in the street.
Having to work has nothing to do with being working class, sw. Do you find me with my hands down a u-bend, scaffolding, plastering or shovelling shít? No. Why not? Because those are occupations for the working classes.Quote:
