just round the corner, Im either losing the plot or was not very composmentos,,, the kitchen floor was flooded, I looked under the plinth and saw water dripping off a conex fitting, ah ah says me, I see your problem, then struggled for 1/2 an hour laying face down in the water cutting out the conex fitting and used two push fit connectors ( there's no room for spanners), Anyrode turned water on and its still dripping, further investigation proved it was just from the tap connector and running down onto the compression fitting,GRRRR, what a plonker, I should have checked that first,,,,A new fibre washer fixed that in a jiffy,,, note to self, Always check from above,,,,  |

Nice one Tom, mine was 2 min drive away too.
Had another call. Pan connector leaking, going tomorrow. Not sure why it's dripping. I'll push it back on. If that doesn't work it's a new one? Any other fixes?

thats about all you can do rocky, try refitting it and if that dont work fit a new one, just do what I did't do today first though, check its not coming from above, like dripping from the flush cone ( if it has one) or the doughnut washer.  |

Nice to speak to you Tom. I'm finding it easier understanding the northern accent now.
My dad was from Glasgow, my mates used to say they couldn't understand a word he said, I didn't think he had an accent!
My mates mums from Singapore & he also thinks there's no accent, there is, 100% chink

My mates mums from Singapore & he also thinks there's no accent, there is, 100% chink I can't understand a word of that Glasgow accent either. A guy who used to live opposite me was from Glasgow and I would nod my head and say yes but I never actually understood a word he ever said to me!  I never understood a word of what Rab C Nesbitt said on that TV show either, yet I found him very funny. I'm fine with the Edinburgh accent though. |
