Can we please declare this the new shower standard Dribble has to beat with his Outdoor Mounted Shanty Town Jap Combi's ?

By eck lass shower were so good it tore off all me skin and flushed me down plughole.

Mary, I was not trained to work on any North Sea platform. :-)

I did, however work with liquid and gaseous oxygen in the aerospace industry. Now if you can think of any explosive gas more dangerous than that, (that is common in industry) then let me know.

If I can work with oxygen, then I am sure I can work with North Sea gas. It's a baby, in comparison.

I would have thought, in my innocence, that the techniques for fitting domestic cookers and boilers is different from what might be encountered in the aerospace industry.

[Ed Sirett]

I am fully prepared to admit that Dave's skills in pipe fitting far exceed my own. However there is more to gas fitting that pipework; flueing, ventilation and siting to name a but a few. He may or may not be familiar with these aspects of installing a gas appliance.

we wuz too poor to 'ave plug'ole ...

[Mary Fisher]

That's been my point all through. Selecting individual techniques isn't the essence, that fact that domestic requirements are different from industrial ones is.

Nice for us while it lasted though :-)

Mary

Have you been in a clinic recently?

[Dave]

I did consider fitting a new boiler last year, but as you say, my skills at pipe work and soundness might pass the test, but my knowledge of how to get the best out of a flue told me to keep my hands in my pocket and get a CORGI in and then get my hands out of the pocket :-)

As far as replacing pipes and gas components, I don't have a problem until it comes to the open ends, like a flame. This is the time to get an expert in. I have met some of them, in the past, that just looked at the flame and turned round and told me just what the problem was.

[Dave]

Mary, gas behaves the same way in industry as it does in a house. It is the consequences of it getting out of its confinement that changes. :-)

Dave

[Mary Fisher]

Dave, I know that.

[Dave]

Oh! Sorry :-)

Dave

[Dave]

Ed, just to correct you on this.

It was my job to test, commission and sign for flight, not bend the pipes. I have every admiration for anyone who can bend pipes that easily. Though I can bend pipes, I am no expert, I just know the rules to follow :-)
