drenched chipboard shelves in under sink cupboard

That was the problem I had, though - it was like it'd leak only when my back was turned ;-) In the end giving the pipework a good shove was what showed the joint to be bad; no amount of observational testing by pouring water down the drain had revealed the problem - I think water had to be going down there at just the right angle for it to seep out.

Lets be precise about this:

1 mo = 2 ticks 1 while = 1000 ticks 1 yonk = 1000 whiles

so a yonk is a megatick

So where does a "jiffy" fit in?

Well, bloke came round this morning and confirmed that there are no leaks, even with a bit of violent shoving. So it looks like a severe condensation problem. He decided the unit was pretty wrecked and has put my name forward for a replacement. Probably be a few months, but at least it's kind of free :-) Got my dehumidifier in there now to help dry out the chipboard.

Urgh, that's way too metricified ;)

I suspect you could also express time using the whistling noise a builder makes when looking at a job and sucking air between their teeth, but I'm not quite sure how you'd write that one down...

Yes, thats why you shouldnt do any work on it

If it is condensation though, the new unit will likely go the same way.

Thus spake Marky P ( snipped-for-privacy@talktalk.net) unto the assembled multitudes:

I guess you need to get the condensation problem sorted (e.g. improved ventilation) if you don't want the new units and shelves to suffer the same fate.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Jon Fairbairn saying something like:

Don't be iffy - cum in a Jiffy.
