The worst plumbing invention ever.....

[kay-jay]

I don't understand olive cutters. If the pipe has been strangled even just a bit then the cutter won't fully bite the olive of the pipe. And if the pipe hasnt been strangled the olive will twist off gently with a pair of grips even on microbore

For some reason my olive cutter did not know about that. And I am not gonna tell him that so that he will continue to do a cracking job. :joker:

Worst plumbing inventions ever? I'm going to show my age now...

1) All that crappy coloured sanitaryware. Remember SunKing? That would blast your eyes out first thing in the morning. Or Kashmir Beige, or Mink? The house I live in now had a mink suite in it when we moved in. I had it out almost before the removal van had got to the end of the road.

2) So called "medium duty" cylinders. The walls were so thin that they needed the foam insulation to stand upright, and you had to measure the re-heat time with a calendar.

3) 3mm baths. Hold them up to the light, and you could read a newspaper through them.

4) Sidewinder coils for converting direct cylinders to indirect. Nuff said.

... SunKing ... Kashmir Beige ... 3mm baths ... I'm going to show my age now...

Wasn't that when Augustus Caesar had just employed those Romans to design Rome's sanitary system? ...

:1eye:

3mm baths are still available from a large DIY outlet near You!

I think that Caesar probably had the old Kashmir Beige suite taken out of the palace and replaced with some nice modern Indian Ivory. Or was it Champagne? I could never tell them apart unless I had one of each in front of me, but if you mixed and matched them it looked horrible.

I love my magnolia bathroom suite, it matches the walls.

And in my previous house, I liked my avocado suite too.

And I am not joking. I predict that in a few years, all those boring white bathroom suites will be whipped out and replaced with coloured ones.

I doubt it!!!

Black suites were in fashion a couple of years back. They show every soap streak. Horrible.

I know, custard bought one and my tiler put his foot right through it.

I disagree. Everything comes full circle and coloured suites will be no different. All it takes is some Charlie in a so called style magazine telling everyone that avocado is the new white ......and its deja vu time
