Hippo's latest activity

I was on the point of doing that! Luckily my bottle trap works, just!

Well yessdi, W's buthday, went OK. 1 1/2 hour's drive to the restaurant, (wish they'd move it a bit nearer!) but as always, really worth it. Set off to come back, 10 mins later she pipes up, "Where's my bag?" fiddles around trying to find it...

I had a similar problem with space on the full size sink in my camper van, I ended up using a bath u bend / trap which took up less than half the space and was closer to the sink when fitted

That is precisely why W demanded I fit the old kitchen sink one in the utility. Deep isn't the word. But this meant the waste pipe exit out the wall isvery nearly at the same height as the bottom of the sink. so you can imagine.... Still it'll be...

Which just proves that both she and Phil the Greek had a wicked sense of humour!!

No wonder the laydeez are fainting for miles around!!🤣🤣🤣

I hope you are paying yourself the union rate! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

They are supposedly trying to tell me how my pension transition will be affected if I retired between April '15 and some other date. I retired on 20/4/2015, so it'll hardly affect me, if at all. It is all to do with those who paid in originally...

Mornin Lovely weather here I had a Frankie sink once Stanley , could bath the kids in it :D Weighing in some scrap and old batteries today 😊 Freelander playing up :confused: Stay cool all :)

We had to use one of these under the sink in the downstairs bog. Unsightly they are. It came with a very nice stainless, streamlined looking trap. (Only visible when sitting ont bog!)🤣

Doing a simple job of trying to attach waste to a kitchen sink I found out that old waste pipe, i.e. 1980s, is slightly different to noo 43 mm pipe and both are different to the weird waste pipe that came out of an old Franke sink. (Which I had...

:oops: See a Doctor

---and all the profits go to shareholders instead of being ploughed back into repairs, maintenance and upgrades. The country's population has risen considerably since the infrastructure was installed and the demand for fresh water and waste water...

Leaks in all the pipes , Thames water lose 570m lts a day ,and peeps wonder why thear bills are so high

Could yer imagine trump doing this?

Because they have abstraction licences which limit how much water they can take from rivers and underground. Water level has dropped and rivers anorl. Yer may have had rain burrits not as much as normal. The locks will be fillling less than...
