Just been over the MIL's and a plumber has just replaced the quarter turn kitchen mixer tap with an old fashioned traditional mixer because "the quarter turn ones can't be repaired"



YeeeHaaaa

Quarter turn taps can be repaired but you do need to know the make for a new cartridge ,plumbase carry then in stock normally.There is a universal one a available from Orca Star

He could have a whale of a time with that....

In sparkling form tonight, andy!

Always, Mary. Always.

Welcome back.

Did you post that on porpoise?

Now that gets my seal of approval...

(thought it was bril!)

...and then charged her twice as much as a new tap and the fitting would have cost, time has to be charged, your obviously work for free....

Why do you think the art of brake shoe re-lining (for example) went out of favour in the non commercial automotive repair trade, it's not because mechanics are unable to do the work but because it would cost the customer more than just fitting a nice new set.

Most Plumbers are nothing but sharks...

But is it your plaice to say so?

Why, thank you kind sir.

I missed you all but we had a marvellous time!

Reading the other puns following this I realised that others read 'whale' as the sea mammal.

I read it as the Whale brand name of caravan plumbing and couldn't think of anything clever which is why I played on the billiance of your star-like properties.

Well, it was very late ...

Well, you sea, they cod be ripping us off. Especially when they tartar fishing for work.

What the hake are you guys on about?

Disk brakes. How often do you need to change shoes in rear drums?
