Why the feck would I, you cheeky cnut!Omg there's somit Stan doesnt know about
I don't buy it in this country and in Frogland it is decent proper air dried hardwood or it is sh!te!
I also don't know about redecking a Riva!
The sh!t I DO know about, like when to use the imperfect subjunctive of a French verb, is feck all use in the real world!
So I live my life playing catch up.
Frinstance, it took me ages to decide which rad valves to get from Screwfix for the rad in the kitchen, and as I didn't think I'd be getting a TRV, i've already taken the fecker off the wall, so i don't know which is the inlet pipe. Now that is true amateurism for you.
Sod's law, the existing rad valves are nothing like what is available now. I could have taken em out and transferrred em over, i think, but it would mean buying a feck off big, 1/2 " Allen key, to dig the old tails out of the 1982 rad.
Ain't done it for 30 years and the last time i did it must have got the pipes mixed up, didn't even know the TRV had to be on the inlet. So the fecking TRV buzzed all the time unless it was at full bore!
As we said the other day, if it's your trade, you don't even have to think about it!
