I've had basin fitted from an Egyptian plumber from Italy. He was cheap. He fixed the basin to the wall with putty like material (no bolt/nut into the wall). He fitted isolating valves (with compression joints) on plastic pipes without the insertion white hardening cylinders at the end. He never used ptft tape on any thread. He said white cylindrical hardeners and ptft taps are not necessary. Has he got a point?

:D there needed for a reason the inserts

Also guess the ped was off the old one
 
The Egyptians managed to build the Pyramids, yet this one couldn't fit a sink for Toffee.

Some people have different interpretations of words and phrases.
To most,
Can you fit me a new sink, means complete the job so it's neat, tidy and doesn't require any additional trades to follow on.

To some, it's taken literally, eg. that sink's been fitted.
 
I know this is obviously a wind up but it does entertain how some people will leave things like this thinking it’s perfectly acceptable

I had thought this initially a joke. However, I now ponder and find myself in mental turmoil as to the feelings of the original poster. Maybe due to the lack of a deliberate indication of jest in the original post, this is - God forbid - a real installation. Should this be the case I offer my sympathy to said poster. I do find it difficult to believe that any individual could produce such workmanship and expect a customer to be satisfied with it but as pointed out by @Harvest Fields, that belief could well be misplaced.
Looking back I think I took the 'He was cheap' comment to mean, you get what you pay for, thus indicating that the customer is seeing the installation in the same light as we do.
Perhaps @abvi could enlighten us? Is it the completed article or is it a temporary job whilst the the bathroom is done?
