I have just replaced a couple of tap washers. I am feeling really smug about it as the taps came apart so easily as I had greased the threads in a nurdy moment when I had first bought the house new in 1988.

You're gonna give the rest of us a bad name.....
But think about how much grease you've drunk in the intervening 25 years.

I bet you have soft water as well. Brian
Got a compliment from the plumber who installed the new heating/thermal store here, the circulators in the existing system where to be reused. When I put them in >10 years ago I'd used vaselined "rubber" washers in the (ball valve) flanges, not fibre ones. They just undid, I'm not sure if he resused the rubber washers. I damn well hope he did...
The silicone grease I use (came from BES) says OK for water and food use.
IKIANB I've noticed you always write "where" when you mean "were".
Speling and grammer are not strong points. Were were and where not so damn similar in speech it wouldn't be so much of a problem. I do try an get 'em right, that one slipped through. My little rule is where has a location context as in here.
I know I'm a nosey bastard.
were sounds whirr, where sounds ware, no possible confusion
as in whirr-wolves?
Um, no they're not. "Where" rhymes with "wear" whereas "were" rhymes with "her".
Distinctly different in speech.
If you had said "there", "their" & "they're" I would have agreed with you. ;-)

The wolves are weir
And in posh England and Scotland the h in where is pronounced, as it was in the original word: hwere. Hwat you say? But it is true. All those wh words used to be hw.
No they are not
