Brit plumbers are TOSSERS

Your taps burn and freeze you? Perhaps you need something for sensitive skin...

That's novel - I never knew taps could do maths...

You never did get over being sacked from 'Plumbcenter', did you Marky?

We were taught to do that in primary school - it's called mental arithmetic and took a few minutes.

But I accept that it would be difficult for the mentally challenged.

Hang on a second......

One plumber's merchant assistant disappears.... another appears... you don't think..... nah, couldn't be.

Less than 3 minutes on my computer's clock, to do your intentionally ill conditioned (Or so you thought) volume calculation. End of Story.

What you miss is that we were taught both decimals and fractions and common equivalents, such as the 8 ths. 16 ths and 32 ndths. From first principles. The education system we have today couldn't begin to attempt that. The teachers couldn't do it themselves despite their Degrees in "Education".

So: I'm not looking stuff up for your benefit.

Google is also a calculator. You didn't know? Try it.

Piss off, pest.

That is not a standard tank, British or otherwise.

They have combi boilers and dribble aerated useless mixer taps that couldn't wash a gnat if left running for 30 minutes.

Is this in reference to his taps or something more appropriate?

Its probably Dribble and when he comes back in his original guise following his holiday in Switzerland he's probably hoping that we will welcome him with open arms after enduring this ranting idiot.

I have never had a shower on the continent. But a long time ago (15 to

I have never trusted an electric shower since.

Dave

Have you not heard? Switzerland has just had its biggest floods for many a year.

You don't think that we may be lucky, do you?

Dave

Perhaps the combi's leaking. Swiss plumbers being told what to do ...

Sorry, that should be two combis.

Mary

We might be going to Holland next year, thanks for the warning.

Mary

I wouldn't. It's boring.

You forgot to post the results, in gallons, pints and fluid ounces.

Eeer, you don't need a computer or internet to do it in metric. So, thanks for proving my point, Dipstick.

Hehehe, truth hurts when you don't like it. Always makes me laugh when people seriously think the imperial system is better than metric and fall flat trying to prove it.

So what you are really saying is that your education is lacking. Don't blame established standards for your inability to understand simple maths.

It won't be when we're there :-)
