And to cap it all there was a bloke server who did not weight around, literally... not a pick on him, clearly he knew what I had yet to learn.Almost, but not quite...
not quite being the actual mark it hit when I had one a couple of days ago, there was something rather unusual about the oil used.

Bet you got green shield stamps back in the dayI've had one since they were invented more or less. Never had a problem down to it.
And formerly the divvy type things more or less paid for Christmas. Those days are long gone sadly but still got the Xmas booze well cheaper than otherwise.
I think it's the acetylene burns he got from lighting his headlights that he remembers the most vividly.Bet you got green shield stamps back in the day

That was pretty much my summation too.
Good morning.
Gland pliers don't get enough grip on compression fittings, plus you need to wrap a bit of ptfe around the olive first.My God I HATE plumbering!!!
You think, "I don't want any leaks as this configuration of bits and pieces to go in that there 'ole is so tight and so hard to do up, I'll test all the "wet" bits first before final assembly."
So you do just that. To all the joints of various types, put your special plumber's grease on the O rings etc ensure it is all on, take a deep breath, open the isolating valves and ........... see tiny drips just below one.
So you re-isolate, tighten the compression fitting on the lower and upper part of the isolating valve, tighten up the rings on the "push fit" connection elbow right below it, (I didn't fit this remember!), and try it again.
Yippee! dry!!!!!
So you proceed to the monumentally flipping awkward placement of the rubber gasket the horseshoe sort of shaped flat metal bit through which the threaded rod goes up into the base of the tap, With its blasted 7/16" nut on, in a place where no normal spanner will fit cos of the proximity of the two copper pipes that come down right next to it, (not flexis obviously, thanks chum).
Struggle like flip to do it up tight.
Then try to position the plug opening and closing rod therough its lickle 'ole.
Won't go, tap too far back.
So you drag the whole business forward a tad, eventually get the whole shooting match working, and open the isolators again.
Ever so slowly a drip appears, but of course in a different place, when it has never dripped before. The very top of one of the copper pipes which are supposedly only supposed to go "hand tight" into the base of the tap.
Of course you cannot get any sort of a grip or wrench onto the solid fitting part right at the top as it is buried inside the hole in the top of the basin. And of course it is round not hex.
So you loosen the compression fitting in the top of the isolator, and do the best you can with water pump pliers on the thickest part of the copper pipe just above the isolator, to tighten it up inside the tap. It moves a hairsbreadth.
Then you retighten the compression fitting, open the isolator and ........... it is still weeping.
So you do this twice more, each time the weep improves fractionally.
But is still there.
By now my back and neck are aching and I cannot face taking the whole flipping thing apart to enable me to lift the tap up above the sink just enough to get a mole grip on the top fitting.
So I turn the isolator off again and resign myself, with choice language, to yet another attempt yet another day.
How do plumberists ever make any money at this game?
Rant over.
(Give me electrics any time. And I dislike them strongly! And I am too tight to buy anything else to make the job easier, like a flexi or even two.)
Have an enjoyable Friday Evening folks.
