Copper & Plastic plumbing - freely mixing and matching?

Democracy only works when the electors know the issues, otherwise it is farce.

Helpworth said on this ng..

"The inventive can find many ways of achieving a perfectly acceptable clean, square cut using a variety of tools."

Which clearly says you don't need a specialist plastic pipe cutter. Did you understand that? Are you that retarded?

[Andy Hall]

... and some animals are more equal than others......

[Andrew McKay]

And what's the betting that the NE will gets its regional assembly? The one thing you can rely upon with the Labour government is that they will adopt whatever legislation they want, disregarding what the people say.

It's a two way street. Democracy only works if the politicians know and understand the issues. And that's rarely the case in my view.

and two many cooks make light work ...or whatever.

Spot on. Tne opposition are nopw spending alot of time oppsoing these regions as they see it of denting the government in rather foolish way. It has to happen.

So it should. Go into Wickes and see the wood sizes. We have fitted kitchen units in mm for over 30 years.

The wiring should have gone over to brown blue in the 1970s. Being British we only half went over. Appliances have brown/blue. We should go fully metric instead of this half cocked situation we have. We buy petrol by the litre, but cars are rated in miles per gallon. That is utterly stupid.

The sooner the better. Well when it is advantageous to us valuewise.

See Brian Sharrocks post. I suppose we could go back to Thatcher/Major and have people begging for dinners in just about ever the street.

How they forget so easily.

Then the Poll Tax - perhaps the most recent widely hated bit of legislation that *had* to be repealed - would have been introduced by Labour?

[Andrew Gabriel]

When you're in a hole, STOP DIGGING. You're in danger of falling out the other side of the earth...

[Steve Firth]

Umm for all practical purposes it is currently enforced by Labour. Oh they don't call it the poll tax of course but the council tax is indistinguishable in many ways. Expect more howling when the re-evaluation of properties is performed just after the next election.

[Steve Firth]

So now you are calling yourself a retard? first honest admission I've seen from you, well ever really.

How's your snake-oil business BTW?

[IMM]

Not in a hole. Not digging. Hepworth said you don't need a specialist cutter. That was clear.

[IMM]

< snip bumpkin drivel >

[Andy Hall]

You clearly should have used one.

How's Melbourne at the moment?

[IMM]

< snip tripe >

[Andy Hall]

I think that when you did your original snipping, that you snipped the important bit which was *not* to use a hacksaw, but left the tripe behind.

I wouldn't apply for a job as newspaper editor if I were you......

[IMM]

Hepworth said you don't need a specialist cutter. That was clear.

[Andy Hall]

What they actually said was:

"We do recommend the use of a Hep2O pipe cutter, however any pipe cutter designed to cut plastics pipes should be suitable. One of the major advantages of a purpose designed cutter is speed, however the requirements for the cutter are that it should cut the tube square without scoring or scratching the pipe or leaving burrs or swarf which could get under the 'O' ring. It is for this reason that hacksaws should not be used.

The inventive can find many ways of achieving a perfectly acceptable clean, square cut using a variety of tools.">

Presumably you're not inventive...........

[IMM]

The above clearly says that a specialist pipe cutter tool need not be used. Can you understand that? Nah don't reply, you can't.
