units
English units are the units of measurement used in England up to 1826 (when they were replaced by Imperial units), which evolved as a combination of the Anglo-Saxon and Roman systems of units. Various standards have applied to English units at different times, in different places, and for different applications.
The two main sets of English units were the Winchester Units, used from 1495 to 1587, as affirmed by King Henry VII, and the Exchequer Standards, in use from 1588 to 1825, as defined by Queen Elizabeth I.The English units were replaced by Imperial units in 1824 (effective 1 January 1826) by a Weights and Measures Act, which retained many though not all of the unit names and redefined (standardised) many of the definitions.
Use of the term "English units" can be ambiguous, as, in addition to the meaning used in this article, it is sometimes used to refer to the units of the descendent Imperial system as well to those of the descendant system of United States customary units.
I would like a professional plumber's advice on this attached image, which shows a mains pressure pipe with tap located above the consumer units.

Can someone let me know what the law is on this matter please? have a link? Thanks all.
Anyone know which cistern to use in a 500 calypso unit, needs to be serviceable from the front as fixed worktop above (ps I don’t like Dudley Niagara!)

Speak as I find the units in McCarthy Stone retirement flats are ALways breaking down that’s why I see loads of their vans going south M6 every working day to fix the rubbish night store heaters but maybe I should keep quiet as there is loads of money being made out of vulnerable pensioners...

When you come across concealed pipework / valves hidden within or behind kitchen units, what is the best course of action?
For example, the trap to my kitchen sink is stupidly behind a wooden support at the back of my kitchen units. The only way to get to it would be to break my arm in a few...
Been out to have a look at this one, all the property has is electricity and a cold water main. Hot water is required to feed two 'back wash' units. The idea of two independent electric showers is out of the picture because of the cosmetic design it would just not look too good. The salon kept...
