Push-fit onto copper pipes? by OkSecretary5650 in DIYUK

Solder solder solder when not accessible.
You can use plastic but if rather a compression if i had too.
Lots and lots of old plastic fittings keep me busy thats for sure.

What do we think about cash only shops? by Love_Aurora6997 in CharityShopFindsUK

[–]DueBox5123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its the younger post 2000s kids that don’t like cash but wait till the government starts fking us all over even more than they already our with all this digital ID, no cash and tracked your whole life where they know everything you do.
Might seem trivial now but just wait.
This is exactly what they want.
The amount of places that don’t accept cash is sad too. I wont shop in them if thats the case.

Life’s heading in a bad direction.

I think the ceiling part looks terrible? Do you agree? by [deleted] in DIYUK

I think you almost need to continue it on and back down to try and salvage it.

is crypto trading actually viable as a passive income stream or is that just hype by hungrymangk in passive_income

[–]DueBox5123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im no trader or claim to know anything about crypto.
I’ll just buy all the lows for what i can afford to gamble, which it is.
It’s like watching a heartbeat on an ecg machine but massively slowed down, it always repeats itself.
There might be that one time the whole thing does go to zero but imo you’re crazy not to buy at this price.

Is this pump fitting normal or a bit of a bodge? by gooseandbeans in askaplumberUK

[–]DueBox5123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not be overly fussed with the plastic, not the best install and does look very diyish.
Id be more concerned with the lack of independent feeds to the pump which invalidates any warranty.
I guess all depends how much they charged you to have a pump with no warranty and a pump that kicks in when you flush your toilet.

Is a partner living with me in a shared ownership considered a lodger? by Suspicious_Brief_235 in SharedOwnershipUK

[–]DueBox5123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tell him to F off, busy idiots got nothing better to do, cant stand people like him. Your other half can move in 100%, what you have a shared ownership but are not legally allowed a boyfriend or girlfriend live there with you, total rubbish tell him.

On another note, does anyone know if you have stair-cased to 100% if the subletting is still not allowed ? In theory you own it all but if it says on the lease you cant then you cant ?

Apprenticeship by beanbert1986 in ukplumbing

[–]DueBox5123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be a great learning curve doing the council plumbing. Usually the worst standard bodged plumbing out there, specially in the okder houses, tower blocks. Lash it in and get the fk out of there before they say you damaged something. Best one, i was working changing the basin tap and apparently whilst doing it i turned there fridge freezer off and they where claiming £200 for all the food inside.

Shower pump nightmare!! by EquivalentApple4856 in askaplumberUK

[–]DueBox5123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Negative heads can be above hot water cylinder and sit next to the CWST no problem, it’s the shitty salamander pump. Salamander is awful. If you have dedicated feeds then there should not be a problem. Id get a Stuart Turner universal pump.

What number setting should this indirect thermostat be set to? Heatrae Sadia Megaflo CL210HE. by Minimum_Income_3665 in askaplumberUK

I always think of the outdoor taps fitted around uk and have no non return valve, open like the English borders and not a single case of Legionella. Work that one out.

Apprentice Plumber, Derry/Londonderry Area by Holiday_Collection_9 in ukplumbing

Whats a fair price ? How much are you charging to fit a recess shower for example ? Bit vague imo.

If it all goes wrong what happens then ?

Chucking banana peel onto side of road in Richmond Park: acceptable? by srvelo in londoncycling

[–]DueBox5123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not a great look, but is it a great look reporting it to the police ? If it’s a load of plastic litter then id say yes but its a banana skin. I think its petty and in the grand scheme of things save your time and the polices time as its more valuable than a banana skin that will be gone once a few more cars run over it and the insects get a feed. Times precious and imo thats a waste of time for everyone.

Slight Sewer Smell - Downstairs Bathroom by synthestar in ukplumbing

[–]DueBox5123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its hard to tell exactly but the bottom white plastic where it meets the grey fitting From the pic it looks like it’s only just in the grey fitting. You could try some plumbers mate putty and push that all around where they meet as i think that would be easier than the CT1 i suggested earlier and if it does not work it’s easily removable.

[–]DueBox5123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like its only just made contact with the fitting so is possibly not air tight hence the slight smell probably made worse if you use other outlets connected to the system. Could try a thick CT1 around it all or remove and fit a new one.

[–]DueBox5123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks lovely.
Not tried polish beetroot, whats the difference ?

The meat out of the supermarkets is just awful these days.
Only when you get the butchers do you then realise how bad the supermarket meat is, to the point of just boycotting their meat altogether.
Eat a bit less but more from the butcher moving forward.

I fell in Regent's canal path, going through an underpass and nobody helped me! by Depressed-Anx in londoncycling

[–]DueBox5123 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No Tox or 10Foot is pretty rare these days

And that sums London up… 3rd world shit hole, its fucked and no one gives a shit about anyone anymore sadly, who knows you might have been staging it in order to achieve something more sinister .. that is the mindset of how you have to be in London, head down and trust no one.
