Got another tip, not really plumbing though.. if you're like me and get really pissed off with your van windows fogging up on the inside, Get some of your shaving foam and rub it on ya windows,then wipe it off and it stops your windows fogging up👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

no chance, wedding cake stops all that sucking stuff, and that reminds me, 26 th Feb 1982 she got the wedding cake, So I better get a card and some flowers. Isn't it lucky that her mother died at the same time, because when we visit her grave I can rob some fresh flowers while shes distracted,  |

The Grinder disc that lasts for ever!!
Here’s a wee tip I learned from a college;
Most of us now use small cordless Angle Grinders, they’re invaluable in any Plumbers Tool Bag. Cutting boiler flues, cutting & chamfering UPVC soil pipes etc etc.....
The simple tip is, just fit a diamond tip blade, it’ll cut most things like a hot knife through butter & it will last for years!!

the gypo's have caught on to that tip Dick, Its a gem of a tool for cutting out the cytolatic converter on diesel engined cars and vans, 2 mins and they have a valuable piece of scrap and the car/van owner has to fork out a grand plus, to get it replaced and fixed,  |

Those diamond discs are amazing! I cut a valley of roof tiles 5 yrs ago with one, loads of granite slabs, great for scoring blocks too, if you need odd shapes  Same disc still going strong! |

Another one with a grinder & it maybe a bit random;
Olive recently wanted a new cooker hood for her cooker, which is in her Kitchen. So I bought her one.
However the fake SS chimney needed to be trimmed & as it’s polished SS I was shitting myself incase I made a cunt of cutting it.
I consulted Utube & the method I learned was amazing, so I’ll share:
To cut it ensure you have a straight line, tape is good for that. Use one of the very thin cutting blades on your grinder. The idea is not to heat it & discolour it. It cut really well!!
Next buff the edge to get the sworf off, use one of these flap sanding discs. Again, a fantastic finish & easy to use.
So I’m well happy with the results & I hope this helps someone else👍
